Oh man , the creature is actually friggin scary when I think about it a bit more.

Amazing job. I really love the gill thing especially, not sure why. Static jaw is also something I have not seen before. Very interesting. @@

I suppose it's practically the creature that would flatten itself under your bed and wait to trip you up and drag you under. It's that thing we're afraid to bump into in the dark.

Yeah. The thing that I find very scary in physical creatures is the ability to seize without expecting it. When I first went swimming in the deeper ocean while diving, i felt extremely terrified , because the sea is so large and there could be anything down there, which might grab me by my unprotected belly and pull me down.

Otherwise, the things I am most afraid of in the dark of night are non-physical things like ghosts. I am more afraid of seeing two large white eyes and visible grinning human teeth in the dark... staring and grinning surrealisticly and staring.

euuugh, yeah, I don't like ghosts, you can't make them go away or anything (unless you happen to live with someone who has the ability to get rid of them) damn it, I'm sitting here in a dark house D:

The grabby thing with that creature does scare me, now that I think on it, it could just reach out and snag you like a praying mantis, its ever-'grinning' face unsettles me a little, too, I could imagine turning on a light an bam, all you see is that face before you get skewered and thrown into it.
Funnily enough, swimming in the ocean never scared me, except for the fact that there could be jellyfish nearby, I hate those things.

FFF jelly fish, I accidentally swam into jellyfish swarm before. Went down, it was all clear. When coming back up, they were friggin everywhere. Had to get rescued by my dive master a couple of times. Lol.
