7 Of The World's Most Frighteningly Bizarre Ocean Creatures

#1 The Angler Fish

The angler fish is perhaps one of the most fascinating and bizarre sea creatures known to man.

The angler fish's mating habits are rather unique.

#2 The Flamingo Tongue Snail

The flamingo tongue snail feeds on toxic sea fans and yet, much like Bruce Willis in "Unbreakable", suffers no harm.

flamingo tongue snail used to be a relatively common sight, its unique exterior has rendered it a popular underwater "souvenir" for scuba divers, which has contributed even more to its novelty status.

#3 The Goblin Shark

The goblin shark plays the role of elderly next-door neighbor. Why? Just like your elderly neighbor, the goblin shark's general flabbiness conveys the fact that it's not exactly moving around that much.

#4 The Hatchetfish

Anatomically speaking, the hatchetfish's silver-colored thorax resembles a hatchet's blade. Its name is somewhat deceiving, though; measuring a mere one to five inches in length, the hatchetfish is hardly imposing, let alone deadly. It's just, well, pretty terrifying to look at.

#5 The Sea Cucumber

Sea cucumber is incredibly flexible due to its collagen levels. For instance, if the sea cucumber needs to wedge itself into a tiny crevice, its collagen will loosen and the sea cucumber will effectively liquify itself to seep into its desired locale.

#6 The Blobfish

You might think that the blobfish's lack of muscle tissue would prove disadvantageous, but you'd be wrong. Imagine a world in which all you had to do to enjoy a fantastic meal was open your mouth and let gravity do its trick.

#7 The Fangtooth

The fangtooth's chompers certainly paint a different portrait, though. An orthodontist's worst nightmare, the fangtooth has the largest teeth of any fish in the ocean.
