Messengers from the Sea God's Palace

Oarfish.
A creature that measures up to five metres in length and lives at underwater depths of 1000 metres. 

The body of an oarfish was found off the coast of California last month, an event considered the harbinger of a powerful earthquake. More here and something interesting here. 

Sarah at Banquet has featured the oarfish in her Sea Animals of the Atlantic print.
