sea devil
Deep ocean predator
Sea devil is a name for various large, fearsome-looking marine creatures.
It most commonly refers to anglerfish, particularly deep-sea species with bioluminescent lures and grotesque features.
The name also applies to manta rays and certain large octopuses.
The term emphasizes the creature's strange or menacing appearance rather than any taxonomic classification.
