Problem is I can't think of a single large bodied (over say 8-10cm total
size) that can come up from the abyssal plain, let alone trenches and
survive. They tend to pop, or invert (nothing like having you insides
out to kill you off). That's ignoring cellular level damage that occurs
on exposure to vacuum.

Bit why I can live with FTL ;)
