great risk
but if at least one egg survives for 7 years, it will burrow into the sediment and lie dormant, waiting for the current living bloop to die so it can reincarnate as the surviving plop (a baby bloop is called a plop)

Feet; 574 Feet; Advanced Gills, used to filter plankton from water and to breathe on land for up to 5 hours; Powerful tail, used for locomotion, sudden bursts of speed and self defense; Mouth, bite force powerful enough to break icebergs in half to catch terrestrial prey; Lobed fins for locomotion on land; This gargantuan fish is thought to be responsible for the "Bloop" noise.
