They also have two venomous spines behind their opercles. You know... Just in case their shocks are not enough.
I totally get behind the ichthyologist William Leo Smith when he called them "the meanest thing in creation".

Currently, there are 8 known genera, 2 of them containing an special organ!
The Astroscopus and Uranoscopus species have, at the top of their skull, an eletric organ derived from muscles. It causes electric shocks that the stargazers uses for hunting or defense.

The top-mounted eyes and upwards-facing mouth are not their only charm! Some members of this family have a lure growing out of their mouths...
They use it to attract unsuspecting fish/invertebrates and when the prey is close enough, they jump up and... Dinners is served!

Special Fish Party!
That is our totally normal and not creepy friend, the Pacific Stargazer (Astroscopus zephyreus)!!
