There are nice creatures in the Ocean, like eg. an 55m long toxic Worm (Lineus longissimus). If you know which creature you can find in the Ocean you prefer to make vacation on the mountain
boo!

Is this another situation like the blobfish, where the photos of it are just what it looks like when the body has been destroyed from the change in pressure but it actually looks underwhelming at the depths it normally lives in?

It is possible, there are exactly 6 seamonsters missing

The other 95% is gray mud, no life larger than multi-celled critters.

That’s a messed up looking dogfish.

So, feeding the threat classification system with poor data, makes it classify the specimen as “not threatened”?

Yeah, it’s strange to label it as “not threatened” when there is a “data deficient” label available.
It appears that the “data deficient” label is avoided as much as possible:

Nah it’s more like the population is unknown. It lives deep enough that we rarely encounter them, making it difficult to estimate how many them are

And what does it eat? What teeth does it have
