No, it’s not a creature from the Jurassic World set. This is a legit, 100 percent real fish that was caught off the coast of Victoria, Australia. It’s called a frilled shark, and it’s going to eat your soul.

Fisherman David Guillot was the man who caught the gruesome beast, which dates back 80 million years and is referred to as a “living fossil.” These sharks that have the body of an eel are seldom seen by humans, and that’s probably a good thing; with 25 rows containing 300 razor-sharp teeth, this is the type of monster you only want to see in a movie.

“The head on it was like something out of a horror movie. It was quite horrific looking...It was quite scary actually,” Guillot said. Um, yeah. Look at it. There’d have to be something wrong with you if you pulled this out of the water and didn’t soil yourself:
