Stargazer
If you were thinking the name must mean this one has to be at least a little cute, nope! This creepy little guy gets his name from the way it hunts. After burying itself on the ocean floor, it gets its name from the placement of its eyes, which it uses to spot pray above its hiding spot. If an unlucky fish or diver swims by, the stargazer explodes out of the sand to grasp its prey. Some of the species of Stargazer even have the ability to produce an electric shock that in some cases could be lethal. Eyes to the sand when you’re diving, people.

Frilled Shark
If your imagination has ever managed to combine the horrifying aspects of a shark and snake together then nature has brought this abomination to life. Constricting ability and rows of teeth sounds amazing right? The Frilled shark grows up to almost six feet and has a long slender snake-like body. This creature, with its 25 (yes, 25) rows of teeth, widened skull and accurate jaw is the definition of nightmarish fish.
