In H.P. Lovecraft's mythos, the Mi-go are tentacled crustacean aliens who dwell deep in our planetary history - and deep in the oceans. Looks like some Japanese divers may have found the real-life inspiration for the creature.

Apparently one of the divers who found the creature commented on how suggestive it looks, almost like a fertility god - I just can't imagine why.
