Scientists deployed a remotely operated vehicle to explore the depths off the Hawaiian island of Moloka'i.
There, 2,175 feet below sea level, was a strange, cryptid-like creature covered in shaggy, hairy-looking branches.
It resembled the much-loved Star Wars Wookie, so the scientists decided to name this new species accordingly: Meet Iridogorgia Chewbacca.
