It’s only four days to Christmas, so we’re here to spread some festive cheer by haunting your dreams with an array of terrifying sea beasts.

These creatures are the discovery of Russian fisherman Roman Fedortsov, who runs a Twitter feed that is packed to the gills with photos of the unusual sea beasts that he has been able to snare.

From eight-legged arththropods to fish with jagged, frilled teeth, there’s quite the collection of beasts.

According to the Moscow Times, Roman is employed at a port in Murmansk, northwest Russia, and he has discovered the majority of creatures while working on a trawler.

Open up, mate! This frilled-teeth shark is terrifying (Picture: Roman Fedortsov)

The picture above shows the frilled shark, an eel-like creature with unusual jagged teeth that have deemed it to be called a ‘relic.’

But things get even weirder, with one creature baring a scarily uncanny resemblance to the Xenomorph from Ridley Scott’s Alien movies.
