Bathynomus vaderi is a giant isopod that looks like it crawled straight out of a sci-fi horror film.

With a head eerily resembling Darth Vader’s iconic helmet, this deep-sea dweller is as fascinating as it is frightening.

Surprisingly, these nightmare-inducing sea bugs are becoming a delicacy in Vietnam .

The demand has turned them into an expensive seafood item, driving increased fishing pressures in their deep sea habitats.
