This marine sea creature mesmerizes its prey by flashing it, but not in the what's-under-that-trench-coat kind of way. In an actual, literal light-gets-in-your-eyes kind of way.

The Frilled shark is one of the most rarest species of sharks in the world. With an eel like body and deadly typical shark jaws, the Frilled Shark is a perfect explanation for the famous mythical sea serpent.

The frilled shark is a 'Living fossil'. This is because it was long thought to be extinct and was known only through fossils. It was until 2007 that the world once again witnessed a living frilled shark, that must truly be the ultimate marine sea creature experience.

Special mention:

Loch Ness Monster

Rarest Marine Deep Sea Creatures The Loch Ness Monster

While the Scottish Highlands have a history of having things appear out of the mist (is Brigadoon humor still in, or is 60+ years too much time?), it is the The Loch Ness Monster, or "Nessie" as we've come to know her, that has become the most popular Scottish Highlands' mist-dweller. The story goes that in August of 1933, the Courier published an article stating that a man had witnessed what appeared to be a dragon ... or at least, the closest thing he had ever seen to a dragon. Years passed, and evidence proving Nessie's existence (including photographs, video and even sonar) mounted. Because of this evidence, The Loch Ness Monster has been neither confirmed nor denied, that said we could also state this then, this is the rarest marine sea creature, right?

I guess we all should agree and realize that it is most likely that we won't have a chance to see this rarest marine sea creatures with our own eyes, so to make it counts, at least we know how they look and how they lived, and of course to be sure that they marine sea creatures really exist.
