It’s Devil’s Night Bizarros! Time to play some pranks, set fire to shit, and hail Satan! You can even name your cat, dog, or kid, after a demon.

Speaking of animals, here are 6 animals who surely came from the depths of hell or were at least named after The Dark Lord.

1) Ayam Cemani (Gallus gallus domesticus)

Halloween-Countdown - Halloween-2014-10-30-02
This Indonesian chicken is the blackest animal in the world.
Even its bones and meat are black!

2) Jacob Sheep (Ovis aries)

Halloween-Countdown - Halloween-2014-10-30-03
Baphomet incarnate, Jacob sheep can have 2-6 horns and are aggressive enough that they are used as guards in farms.

3) Satanic Leaf Gecko (Uroplatus phantasticus)

Halloween-Countdown - Halloween-2014-10-30-04
Found only in Madagascar, these geckos look a lot like dragons.

Aside from looking cool, they don’t really do anything demonic. They just use their cool tail which looks like a dead rotting leaf to lure prey.

4) Satanic Nightjar (Eurostopodus diabolicus)

Halloween-Countdown - Halloween-2014-10-30-06
The common and scientific names of this species refer to a local superstition: it is associated with a “wet” plopping sound, repeated twice, that may be heard in the nighttime in its habitat. Locals believe this bird to be a demonic entity that tears the eyes of sleeping people out, hence the sound. [2]

5) Anopheles Mosquito (Anopheles gambiae)

Halloween-Countdown - Halloween-2014-10-30-07
Why is a mosquito on this list? Because it’s the deadliest animal in the world. This little bugger spreads malaria which kills over 600,000 people a year!

6) Blackdevil fish (Melanocetus johnsonii)

Halloween-Countdown - Halloween-2014-10-30-08
These deepsea anglerfish are monstrous creatures.

“The female lurks in the dark, drawing in prey with her glowing lure, while the male attaches to her like a blood-sucking parasite. Females can swallow prey larger than their own bodies.”
