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.
