This one is also know as the scaleless dragonfish, a savage predator. Yes, you read correctly.   This creature lives in deep ocean waters at depths of up to 5,000 feet. Even though it is a tiny fish which measures 6 inches, it has a large head and its mouth is equipped with many sharp fang-like teeth. The Dragonfish has a long protrusion known as a barbel attached to its chin. It can also produce its own light via bioluminescence process. This helps the Dragonfish to lure prey and attract potential mates.
