Stargazer
By looking just at this creatures name you would assume that it’d be, at the very least, pleasant to look at. This is not the case and we’re sorry you had to see it. The Stargazer is literally a bottom feeding fish. It buries itself underneath sand and then uses the odd placement of its eyes, directly on top of its head, to wait for prey to swim by. Once prey has swam by the Stargazer erupts out of the sand and attacks. Many species of the Stargazer fish have the ability to deal out electric shocks, as well, and some of those shocks are considered lethal. Let’s just say you wouldn’t want to scuba dive over one of these fish if you could avoid it.

Frilled Shark
Take the absolutely terror inducing traits of a snake and then combine it with the size and danger of a shark with rows and rows of teeth. Welcome to the Frilled Shark. The Frilled Shark is one of the creepier creatures on this list thanks to its odd appearance and absolutely deadly mouth. The Frilled Shark lines up at about six feet in length and its body is long and frumpy like a snake. With a widened head and a focused jaw, the Frilled Shark is excellent at constricting and then eating its prey. Yes, we said constricting — like a snake. Oh, and the Frilled Shark has 25 rows of teeth, so that’s nice.
