The source of a mysterious rumble recorded in the ocean in 1997 is now known to have originated from an icequake. "The Bloop" is the given name of a mysterious underwater sound recorded in the 90s.

It was the loudest unidentified underwater sound ever recorded, detected by hydrophones 5,000 miles apart. It lasted for one minute and was never heard again.
The sound's source was roughly triangulated to 50°S 100°W, a remote point in the south Pacific Ocean west of the southern tip of South America.
the thing that is most recognizable about this large creature is its song which can be heard from nearly 3000 miles away from the pod. the bloop measures out between 77 meters to 215 meters long and it's teeth are nearly the length of a human arm.
Appearance. The appearance of the Bloop is somewhat like that of the real world Bat species, but with a demonic, hell beast like gargoyle look, making them one of the few non dinosaur races living on Dinosaur Planet.
The mythical kraken may be the largest sea monster ever imagined. Some stories described it as more than 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) around with arms as large as ship's masts.
The Bloop is scaled to small city level while Megalodon and Livyatan scales between wall level and small building level.
He confirmed that the Bloop really was just an icequake -- and it turns out that's kind of what they always thought it was. The theory of a giant animal making noises loud enough to be heard across the Pacific was more fantasy than science.
Appearance! Bloop is a sea creature looking like a whale, he has four arms to use for swimming and a tail.
While searching for underwater volcanoes, researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recorded the infamous loud, ultra-low frequency sound on hydrophones. These underwater microphones the US Navy originally developed were 2,000 miles apart in the Pacific Ocean.
Joe Scott of Answers With Joe explores the history of deep-sea sound recordings, including “The Bloop” It is known as the loudest underwater sound ever recorded and was captured by hydrophones placed around the Pacific Ocean.
Overall, the ocean is pretty deep; however, its bottom is not flat or uniform, which means water depths in the ocean also vary. The deepest place in the ocean measures 10,935 meters (35,876 feet) and is found in the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench, at a place called Challenger Deep.
The Bloop was originially the Pig glider, with an engine added later. (See the Pig Page for details on this airchair glider.) The Bloop 4 with engine and emergency parachute weighs about 214 pounds. The power package is a modern paramotor system, a Vittorazi Moster 185 two stroke engine (25 hp.)
Roughly estimated size of the Bloop compared to that of a blue whale; the Bloop is several times larger than a whale.
A healthy coral reef sounds like popcorn. Seriously: the hordes of snapping shrimp that fill their waters make create a constant crackling noise, something akin to crunching Pop Rocks or frying bacon.
Giant isopods (Bathynomus giganteus)
Wobbegongs spend their time resting on the sea floor, camouflaged by their flat, tasseled bodies. There they wait for a tasty treat – including fish, octopuses, crabs and lobsters – to pass their way, before… gulp! Some wobbegongs have also been seen to slowly sneak up on their prey, too, in search of some grub.
The kraken is a sea monster with long, snakelike arms. This amazing creature may have been inspired by a living animal--the giant squid of the deep ocean. The kraken also tells us something about the minds of sailors long ago.
Megalodons succumbed to global cooling due to the shrinking of their habitat, the vanishing of their favorite prey, and competition from other predators 3.5 million years ago.
Megalodons are extinct. They died out about 3.5 million years ago. And scientists know this because, once again, they looked at the teeth. All sharks – including megalodons – produce and ultimately lose tens of thousands of teeth throughout their lives.
Bloop has no feats, it's just a theory/mythical creature made up by an extremely loud sound, so Kraken all the way.
Is the megalodon still alive? 'No. It's definitely not alive in the deep oceans, despite what the Discovery Channel has said in the past,' notes Emma. 'If an animal as big as megalodon still lived in the oceans we would know about it.'
Megalodon would win a fight against Titanoboa.
The monster snake is a one-trick pony, and that trick isn't any good against a massive shark. Even if it managed to wrap about the shark, it's much too small to kill it. Megalodon was about 9 feet across and weighed 100,000lbs.
