I searched extensively for an ROV that matches this description but couldn’t find anything. Interestingly, it seems to change shape and take off when it realizes it’s being recorded, which isn’t unusual in this community.

It sounds like you encountered something truly intriguing! ROVs can vary widely in design and capabilities, so it’s not surprising that you had trouble finding an exact match. The ability to change shape or react to being filmed could indicate advanced technology or even something more unconventional. Have you tried reaching out to communities or forums that specialize in ROVs or underwater exploration? They might have more insights or resources to help you pinpoint what you saw!
