The Ocean
Oceans cover about 70 percent of Earth's surface. Coral reefs fill only a tiny share of the seafloor, yet they are home to roughly a quarter of all known ocean species.
The Ocean world opens on a sunlit reef, but its creatures come from all over the sea, from rocky Pacific shores down to the pitch-dark deep.
In the game: dives one to ten on the ocean map bring four creatures and an elite, the Anglerfish, then all five again in costume. The boss, the Giant Squid, waits at the end.
