1. Dumbo octopus

2. Puffer fish

There are many kinds of puffer fish. But porcupine puffer fish is a special one. When it is deflated, it’s big eyes and the smiley face cannot make any diver to leave from there without a smile. They might be harmless to see, but some are really dangerous. Some of its kind come under the most poisonous vertebrates on Earth, with internal organs containing poisonous substances. It inflates itself to protect them from predators. You might think why, it is because the fish can have sharp spikes on them and when they inflate it would prick whoever comes near it like a porcupine.
