Famous for its glowing lure, the anglerfish makes use of bioluminescence to attract prey in the dark.
Sometimes referred to as a "living fossil," this shark has an elongated snout and extendable jaws.
Its webbed tentacles and glowing body make this deep-sea cephalopod a true creature of the night.
Resembling an oversized pill bug, this creepy crustacean scavenges the ocean floor.
With a snake-like body and rows of sharp teeth, this shark is both ancient and terrifying.
This predator has fang-like teeth and can emit light to hunt in total darkness.
Its transparent head and upward-facing eyes give this fish an otherworldly appearance.
These spider-like creatures crawl along the ocean floor with their spindly legs and eerie movement.
With one of the largest teeth-to-body ratios in the ocean, this fish is a nightmare in miniature.
Its enormous, expandable mouth can swallow prey much larger than itself.
