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.

Ill tempered beasties that can easily amputate your finger or toe. Stay far, far away from these guys.

That looks like an alligator snapping turtle. They could almost pass for prehistoric.

Very brave turtles: when scared they don't run - they fight. Calling them mean or vicious is stupid: they are just effective at self defence

They are just as vicious in real life. They will try to bite you and snap at you if you come close. One was in my backyard and I had to use a shovel to move it.

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

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