Hagfish may not have the most appealing name or appearance, but it has a bizarre defense mechanism that makes it a formidable opponent. When threatened, the hagfish will secrete a slime from its glands that expands into a gelatinous mass upon contact with water. This slime suffocates the attacker by clogging their gills or mouth, allowing the hagfish to escape. The hagfish can produce enough slime to fill a large bucket in a few minutes.
