Dracula Fish
Hey, Poseidon, we get it. You want us land-dwellers to keep the fuck off your lawn and not mingle with the merpeople. You don't need to keep plucking fresh horrors out of Satan's asshole like this to remind us we're not welcome:

It may appear as if Danionella dracula is sporting fangs, but that is actually not the case. None of the 3700 members of the Cypriniformes group have had teeth for nearly 50 million years. Nope, those aren't fangs, but rather bony spikes that have erupted through its jaw. This fish has a bloodlust so profound that its bones are literally drilling their way out just hoping to get a piece of the action.
The Dracula fish's evolution isn't that surprising. After the group lost its teeth and became broadly known for giving the best head of the briny deep, there was incredible selective pressure to get their mojo back.

"Go on, motherfucker! Call me a 'Cock-Puffer Fish' again!"
Since they are not true vampiric fangs, they are mostly used to defend their territory and haunt the darkest corners of my nightmares.
