A genus of deep-sea fangtooth fish characterized by large teeth and bioluminescent features.
From Greek 'chaulon' (gaping/grinning) plus 'oides' (resembling). The scientific name describes the fish's distinctive gaping mouth full of prominent teeth.
Fangtooth fish from the genus Chauliodes live in pitch-black ocean depths and produce their own light—they look like monsters but are actually only a few inches long, showing how the deep sea hides entire worlds.
