Leafy sea dragon (Phycodurus eques)
Sea dragons are some of the most ornately camouflaged creatures on the planet. Adorned with gossamer, leaf-shaped appendages over their entire bodies, they are perfectly outfitted to blend in with the seaweed and kelp formations they live amongst.

Blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus)
It’s hard to measure the length of goo.
Like most mutated signs of pure fuckness this bastard lives off the coast of Australia.
Is it really scary tho’? Seriously? I mean you’d take it in a fight. As it is it’s just a fuck-ugly mutant from the sea floor on the verge of extinction. The animal kingdom’s answer to Mickey Rourke. However, you’re wrong, it is scary. Any animal that becomes melted fudge just to survive knows its shit. We just don’t know what that shit is. That’s terrifying.

Coelacanth
Six foot in length
Found in the Indian Ocean mostly along the African Coast
Imagine you’re hiking around the woods and bump into a dinosaur. After you’ve shat yourself you’d think “fucking hell! They’ve been extinct for 65,000,000 years!” or, if you’re an ignorant Christian “fucking hell! They’ve been extinct for 4,500 years!”. Either way. You’d get a shock. So imagine the shock when a fish, thought dead for that time, turned up off the coast of South Africa in 1938. Then imagine the shock when World War II started and 6,000,000 jews died. Hitler and the Coelacanth: the faces of horror of the 1930s.
