This gallery of scary fish is enough to turn any ocean lover into a landlubber. These bizarre sea creatures are all real and still in existence -- information that gives me some serious qualms about wading into any body of water that’s not crystal clear and chlorinated.

1. Goliath Tigerfish
2. Frilled Shark
3. Blob Fish
4-5. Wolf Fish
6. Rat-Tails or Grenadiers
7-8. Lamprey
9. Basking Shark
10. Goblin Shark
