Marvin's name seems to impart to him a non-threatening image, but in fact we know very little about him and cannot say if he is fierce or friendly. The reason for this is we only have a videotape of the creature and it is unclear from this what Marvin is.
Marvin was videotaped at 180 feet below the sea by a brace of divers in 1963. Experts, on viewing the video, debated about what he was, but they were not all in agreement. His body was serpentine and covered with barnacles. Some suggested he was a form of jellyfish.
The video was filmed off the coast of Oregon and Marvin continued with his unidentified existence thereafter. As far as I know, no sightings have been reported since.
