Yikes! Wouldn't want to meet this particular squid in a dark alley. Or ocean. Or, pretty much, anywhere.

A TERRIFYING SQUID With Human-Like TEETH !!!
Meet Promachoteuthis sulcus, a bizarre creature straight out of your nightmares.
As you can see, this creature looks like it has freakishly human looking teeth. It's a species of promachoteuthid squid and only one specimen has been found to date. It was captured in the Southern Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 2,000m in 2007.
Just imagine what else is lurking in our oceans!

Oh yikes.
Huh. These were used as the art reference for the Creepy Aliens in a recent anime, "Gargantia of the Verdurous Planet". In fact, the fact that the monsters had human-like teeth actually became a critical plot-point.
It's probably just a few inches long, and thinks WE are giants with squid-like teeth.
+Dan Eastwood Stop harshing my terror, man!
Here you go Dave, this ought to fix it for you. 😉

Reminds me of the scene with the facehuggers in the jars in "Aliens."
"I think he likes you."
