Hagfish is the common name for the marine craniates (animals with skulls) of the class, characterized by a scaleless, that lacks both paired fins and vertebrae, but does have a cranium. Hagfishes are the only animals that have a skull but not a vetebral column. Despite their name as fish, there is still some debates about their categorizing. Hagfish are long, vermiform and ooze out profuse amount of a sticky slime or mucus.
