''Teuthidodrilus'' (also known as the squidworm), is a genus of marine polychaete worms first described by marine biologists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in November 2010. This unique animal is currently believed to represent a "transitional organism", with physical and behavioral characteristics of both benthic (seabed-dwelling) and pelagic (free-swimming) organisms. ''Teuthidodrilus samae'' is currently the only described species of this genus. ''Teuthidodrilus'' is closely related to the recently discovered ''Swima'' genus, another pelagic cirratuliform worm of the deep ocean.〔 ==Discovery== ''Teuthidodrilus'' is one of seven recently discovered deep-sea, pelagic cirratuliforms.〔 The first specimen was observed in the Celebes Sea in October 2007.〔 A second specimen was discovered in a nearby area by a group of marine biologists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in November 2010. Using a remotely operated underwater vehicle during exploration of the deep water column of the western Celebes Sea, the team found the animals at a depth of .〔 The Celebes Sea is a deep oceanic basin with a maximum depth of 20,300 feet (6,200 metres). It is part of the Coral Triangle, an area known for its high biodiversity.
