I’ve Been Mummifying Real Monsters For 25 Years, And Now I Sell Them To Museums
Since early childhood, I’ve had a passion for monsters, mummies, and fish. When I reached the age of 20, I decided to combine all three and create mummified monster fish!
And now, 25 years later, I made my passion into a fulltime job, and I create monsters for museums and collectors worldwide.
I want to show you some of my work, from aggressive river monsters to scary deep-sea fish.
And if you would like to see more monsters, check out my Instagram linked below!

The Horrific Mouth Of A Lamprey (Bloodsucking Parasite)
I saw one of these alive in an aquarium and it scared the hell out of me. Romans used to like to eat them, tho
"Lampreys have long been used as food for humans. They were highly appreciated by the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, they were widely eaten by the upper classes throughout Europe—especially during Lent when eating meat was prohibited, on account of their meaty taste and texture." "Adults superficially resemble eels in that they have scaleless, elongated bodies, and can range from 13 to 100 cm (5 to 40 inches) in length."(Wikipedia)

How to monsters like these manage without a dentist! Do they just die if teeth are damaged? I know they have no sugar in there diets before someone hauls me up for playful question!
A lot of them can grow the lost ones over and over again.
Load More Replies... Fascinating. Thanks. However looking at pictures from the safety of my recliner is about as close as I care to get.
It's amazing and terrifying and really hard to believe that we love on the same planet as creatures like this, that are so different to us.
Okaaay... I used to enjoy open water swimming. Now I think I'll stick to swimming pools.
WHY do fish need so many teeth!?! This entire article is why I never go past my ankles when walking on the beach. No to ALL of that. Just. No. Also my new goal in life is to seriously watch my karma so I don't come back as a shrimp or something. Now I'm off to shudder internally for the next hour.
Oh my God! Stay out of the water! There is nothing remotely as scary on land.
