On the occasion of Halloween, here is a portrait gallery of some of the most terrifying fish in the world. Terrifying according to our human standards, because perhaps themselves think they are beautiful.
And links to Wikipedia and other sources, to further your knowledge on each of these fish
Sloane’s Viperfish (Chauliodus sloani)
About 30 cm long, Sloan’s viperfish holds the world record for largest teeth relative to head size in a fish.

Humpback Anglerfish (Melanocetus johnsonii)
The humpback anglerfish or common black devil, is up to 3 centimeters (1.2 inches) for males and up to 20 centimeters (8 inches) for females. The litlle male fixes itself on the females’s body, and lives there as a parasite.
