It's a weird one cause it's not thalassophobia. Subnautica is one of my favorite games, and I didn't find it scary (can't play the sequel though, it has a whale that is close enough to trigger the phobia).

Very specifically baleen whales, and a few key sharks that remind me of them (whale sharks, basking sharks, and megamouths are all very borderline).
