Sorry guys, this is a humbug. It is just a dried up mantaray that has had its wings clipped. Google it and you'll see a lot of similar ones. Similar fakes have been sold as "dried demons" for literally centuries.

Edit: here's a good example

Ya, I have no reference, but it looks like a Ray to me!

But hey, Rays are weird sea creatures!

Moving this video to nadabu's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

As ponceleon said, it's just a fish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skate
Specifically, a fish that people have been modifying into sideshow attractions for centuries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Haniver

mhm, underside of a skate... like a flattened down shark that 'skates' along close to the ocean bottom, snarfing up little fishies. Cartilaginous fish are super successful and super old, and come in a lot of interesting shapes.
