The oarfish, commonly referred to as the "doomsday fish," was captured on video as it approached beachgoers at Playa El Quemado in Mexico. It's rare to see the species in shallow waters.

The other two beached in La Jolla and Huntington Beach. The last time a series of oarfish came ashore in California and other parts of the world was over several months in 2013 and 2014.

This cool creature is a bit smaller than the one recovered in La Jolla this August, measuring roughly 9 to 10 feet long.

Yet another oarfish -- a super rare fish commonly referred to as the "doomsday fish" -- was recently found dead in California, according to researchers.

The doomsday fish got its name because it looks like a mythical sea creature, with a long, ribbon-shaped body that can grow up to 30 feet.

The elusive deep-water oarfish, also known as the "doomsday fish", was spotted yet again on the shores of Encinitas, California.

Where were the last Doomsday sightings? In August, a 12-foot-long oarfish was recovered by a group of "sciencey" kayakers and snorkelers swimming at La Jolla Cove in San Diego.
