10 Most Scariest Looking Fish In The World

10. Lion Fish

The lion fish is a wild looking creature with frills and spikes. This is one of the exceptions to our ugly and scary rule because while it is a bit scary, there is something quite beautiful about the colors and stripes. These fish are also quite venomous.

9. Armor Fish

Armor fish is another prehistoric-looking species that makes this list. It looks impenetrable and honestly intimidates the heck out of us.

8. Pufferfish

The spikes on the pufferfish are enough to drive you away from it. Think about the porcupine of fish and decide whether or not you want to go near it.

7. Vampire Fish

The teeth on a vampire fish are enough to make you turn around, swim for the surface and swim for land. You do not want one of these guys taking a bite out of you.

6. Stargazer

Part of the stargazer’s weirdness and scary features comes from the fact that it is often buried in the sand. It’s like seeing a terrifying face with scary teeth in the sand. No bueno!

5. Frogfish

Most frogs aren’t very cool to look at, so you might imagine that a frogfish isn’t any better. Check out this scary looking creature.

4. Coffinfish

The coffinfish is a bottom dweller that often has a red or pinkish color to it. It’s facial features are stretched out and it’s just really scary to look at.

3. Asian Sheepshead Wrasse

This fish is pretty scary and looks like it could pack one mean head-butt should you come into contact with it. We won’t be swimming near this one.

2. Frilled Shark

Video footage of the prehistoric frilled shark surfaced and the almost alien-like fish was scary to look at. This fish are very rare because they tend to live in depths that are far too deep for humans to reach. Only dying fish of this species can be seen at shallower, more reachable depths.

1. Blob Fish

The blob fish is the perfect cross between ugly and scary. We mean that in that it is so ugly it scares us.
