Freakin' Vampire Squid

OMG these things just pop out of my worst nightmares. And for all of you that are just watching the pretty colors, I gotta tell you, YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD!! That is how they GETCHA!!

And who was the genius who gave this abomination the name 'Vampire Squid'? That name just makes this thing that extra bit more horrific than it needed to be.

The Vampire Squid is almost entirely covered in light-producing organs called photopores. The animal has great control over the organs, capable of producing disorienting flashes of light for fractions of a second to several minutes in duration. The intensity and size of the photophores can also be modulated. Appearing as small white discs, the photophores are larger and more complex at the tips of the arms and at the base of the two fins, but are absent from the underside of the caped arms. Two larger white areas on top of the head were initially believed to also be photophores, but have turned out to be photoreceptors.
