| '''Thalatte''' are biological peculiarities that roam the depths of the [[Unterzee]]. Their anatomy is utterly incomprehensible: they possesses a beaked mouth, a "double handful of maxillipeds," an acidic "outermost eyesocket", a "liver-brain," a toothy swim bladder, and an uncountable number of other mismatched organs.<ref name = "dissect">{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Thalatte#You_have_defeated_a_Thalatte|Dissect it for knowledge|Sunless Sea}} ''"You run out of note-cards before you run out of different parts to classify, and after a while you can't tell the difference between the 'before' and 'after' piles. [...] What manner of creature would need a beaked mouth, a hooked sucker-maw, and a double handful of maxillipeds?"''</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Thalatte#You_have_defeated_a_Thalatte|Fillet it for supplies|Sunless Sea}} ''"[...] the creature's outermost eyesocket is filled with virulent acid; the liver-brain [...] the swim bladder appears to have teeth."''</ref> To hunt prey, they draw them close with their hooked sucker-maws and barrage them with globs of "vile fluid."<ref name = "dissect"/><ref>{{Citation|https://www.failbettergames.com/news/a-first-look-at-zubmariner|A first look at Zubmariner|Failbettergames.com}} ''"The Thalatte [...] a fanged orifice at the front.

| Thalatte meat can be edible but is extremely hard to prepare. Organs tend to twitch and move long after death,<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Thalatte#You_have_defeated_a_Thalatte|Dissect it for knowledge|Sunless Sea}} ''"[...] several organs once removed [...] will not stay put in their designated piles - not until you start staking them to the deck, [...]"''</ref> and some bits are so foul that eating them can drive a person to suicide.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Thalatte#You_have_defeated_a_Thalatte|Fillet it for supplies|Sunless Sea}} ''"You never determine exactly which bit it was that Zeeman Hodgkiss ate. She never said; she simply [...] flung herself into the main boiler. [...] You doubt the cook has enough pepper in stock to mask a taste like that."''</ref> Needless to say, rendering Thalatte meat requires both a weak gag reflex<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Thalatte#You_have_defeated_a_Thalatte|Fillet it for supplies|Sunless Sea}} ''""Just close your eyes and hold your nose! [...] you don't even need to swallow [...] Down it goes."''</ref> and the patience for a nine-hour-long boil.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.miraheze.org/wiki/Thalatte#You_have_defeated_a_Thalatte|Fillet it for supplies|Sunless Sea}} ''"And after all - anything can be a bisque after it's been boiled for nine hours."''</ref>
