If you think you're the ultimate metalhead, you haven't met these heavy metal animals. These odd-looking animals are so edgy they make us want to headbang.

Though some cool animals are just born with naturally rocking colors and features, others have unique traits that make them even metal-er (which is officially a word). Excluding the obvious ones - black animals - goats have long been associated with Satanism due to their disobedient and stubborn nature. Another utterly strange animal, the Texas horned lizard, also known as "horny toads," has the bizarre ability to shoot streams of blood from the corners of their eyes in order to deter predators. Does it really get more metal than that?

Check out our list of hardcore unusual animals below, and add your own if you've got a pet that leans toward the dark side.

That's one way to discourage a predator. How do you swallow something like that? ;D

In China, they will eat anything if you put it on a bamboo skewer. Including this!

Ok but I think this is really cute? It's like it's trying to be dark and sinister but instead it's the caterpillar equivalent of a gothic loli :O

I wonder if this is where they got the concept for the Marvel character venom?

Interesting. I wonder what is the purpose of these "horns". To lure a female/male to reproduce? :D That would make this species kinda kinky :D

Camouflage/Threat display probably. Quite likely it looks like a very dangerous or disgusting other bug.

Such a forlorn looking little fellow. He needs a good blow dry and a treat.
