Sea Creatures

The Sea Creatures are antagonistic monsters from Tim Burton's 2012 animated film Frankenweenie. They are based on the brand of brine shrimp pets, and their characteristics are based on The Creature from the Black Lagoon and the 1984 film Gremlins.
==Description==
For the New Holland Elementary School science fair, Toshiaki and Bob try to concoct an experiment utilizing sea-monkeys as their subject. The experiment doesn't come along very well, but when the boys discover the secret of electricity from Victor's lab, Bob gets the idea to try it out on the sea-monkeys on his own. The description on the package doesn't come close to matching the result when Bob unleashes an army of little warriors. Wreaking havoc everywhere, the mischievous Gremlin-like sea mreatures are not easy to stop. Due to being freshwater creatures, they are shown to be weak against salt, such as the case of them devouring popcorn with salt.
==Role in the film==
The sea-monkeys take part during the climax of the film where Bob dumps the creatures into a swimming pool which the pool where they are swimming suddenly gets struck by lightning, causing the sea creatures to grow into normal-sized monsters where they approach Bob and chase him across the neighborhood. Bob hides behind the cemetery seeing Victor from a distance just as the mutated sea creatures escape. He then tells Victor to take care of the sea-monkeys running loose, followed by Toshiaki telling Victor to take care of Shelley. The sea-monkeys they emerge from a toilet inside a restroom where Mr. Burgermeister is hiding just as they assault him, followed by more emerging from a manhole harassing more people, Bob's mother, Victor's parents and later Edgar. Another sea-monkey devours a bucket of popcorn, causing the creature to explode, as they are shown to be weak against salt, because the sea-monkeys prefer only freshwater. Victor and Bobby plan to distract the sea-monkeys with a popcorn machine working together. Victor gets the sea-monkeys' attention as they rush into the popcorn machine and devour the popcorn, killing the remaining sea monsters.
==Trivia==
*When the Sea Monkeys laughed, they sounded very like the Mischievous Gremlins from the 2 Movies.
