    10 Scariest Sea Monsters You Didn't Know Existed!
    There is always fear in the unknown, hence we fear what lurks in the deep sea, a place that is virtually
    unknown to us. Here are 10 creatures that are the stuff of nightmares, especially number one so stay
    tuned for that. Here are 10 of the scariest sea monsters you didn’t know existed.

    Number 10. The Giant Isopod
    Looking like it just crawled out of a bad science fiction movie, the giant isopod is without a doubt one of
    the strangest creatures found in the deep sea. It is the largest known member of the isopod family, a
    group of crustaceans closely related to shrimps and crabs. The giant isopod is also related to the small
    pillbugs that you can find in the garden. In fact, this insect-like creature is sometimes referred to as the
    giant pillbug. Giant isopods are not usually fished commercially, although some can be found in the
    occasional oceanside restaurant in northern Taiwan, where they are boiled and served with rice.
    The enormous size of the giant isopod is a result of a phenomenon known as deep sea gigantism. This is
    the tendency of deep sea crustaceans and other animals to grow to a much larger size than similar
    species in shallower waters.
    It can grow to a length of over 16 inches, which makes it one of the largest members of the crustacean
    family. Like its terrestrial cousin, the pillbug, the giant isopod's body is protected by a hard shell that is
    divided into segments. This allows it to be strong and flexible at the same time. When threatened, this
    animal can roll itself into a ball to protect its vulnerable underside.

    Number 9. The Vampire Squid
    The vampire squid, known to scientists as Vampyroteuthis infernalis, looks like something that swam out
    of a late-night science fiction movie. But in spite of its monstrous name, its is a small creature, growing
    to only about six inches in length.
    The vampire squid's body is covered with light-producing organs called photophores. This gives the
    squid the unique ability to "turn itself on or off" at will through a chemical process known as
    bioluminescence. When the photophores are off, the squid is completely invisible in the dark waters
    where it lives. The squid has incredible control over these light organs. It has the ability to modulate the
    size and intensity of the photophores to create complex patterns that can be used to disorient predators
    and attract prey.
    Not much is known about the feeding and mating habits of the vampire squid, mostly because observing
    them in their natural habitat for a prolonged period of time is virtually impossible, so any footage of
    them, like the one you are seeing, is very valuable to scientists.

    Number 8. The Sarcastic Fringehead

    Many people haven’t heard of the sarcastic fringehead. Located off the Pacific coast of North America,
    these fish are usually less than 10 inches long, and at first glance they’re not much to look at. But don’t
    be too quick to judge—these guys are fascinating once they open up.
    Other fish tend to avoid them, and not because they only respond sarcastically all the time. The defining
    personality trait of these fish is that they’re aggressively territorial. They fight off anything that comes
    too close, no matter the size of the intruder. They have sharp, needlelike teeth they can use to attack
    their targets, and they don’t tend to back down from a fight. Many divers have reported being harassed
    by a grumpy fringehead after getting too close to its home. Thankfully, their small size means they’re
    not a threat to humans, so long as you don’t poke your fingers where they don’t belong.
    The great thing about these fish is how they fight. Once one of them decides an animal has gotten too
    close, it’ll warn them by opening its mouth as wide as possible. Suddenly, this little brown fish gets much
    more interesting.
    They have gaping mouths, much like the mouth of the predator, I’m going to pause here and just let that
    sink in. Yes, fish with predator mouths, that’s how terrifying these fish are. Anyways, their mouths are
    only for show, as they mostly use it to scare off other fish. But honestly, who wouldn’t be scared?

    Number 7. The Bathysaurus
    Scientists aboard a research vessel were trawling for fish near eastern Australia when they accidentally
    pulled up this: a fang-faced monster that has the body of an eel, the face of a lizard and an impressive
    reputation as the world's deepest-living predator.
    Despite only being around 20 inches long, this fish has a ferocious reputation. It has a mouth full of
    sharp teeth, and will eat essentially anything in its
