The blobfish is considered to be one of the ugliest fish in the ocean. Actually, it is considered to be the ugliest creature in existence. It looks like a sad Jabba The Hut. It's not part of Star Wars, and it isn't as ugly when in its natural habitat, according to Smithsonian Magazine.

The fish is found deepest depths of the ocean near New Zealand and Australia. The pudgy pink human-like face has come up from the depths, and its appearance changes because it lacks a swim bladder. Plus, the loss of pressure. Its shape is more gelatinous, like holding a water balloon. The face is saggier, and the human-like noise and lips appear. If you were to see the blobfish at the bottom of the sea, it would look more natural, like a pufferfish or a plecostomus. So, is it the ugliest fish or the most misunderstood? You decide.
