sea creature
Marine life form
A sea creature is any animal that lives in the ocean—fish, whales, octopuses, jellyfish, crabs, and countless others.
The term is broad and informal, often used when the specific species is unknown or unimportant: We spotted some kind of sea creature from the boat.
It appears frequently in children's books and casual conversation rather than scientific contexts.
