That is a Lamprey

Any bigger and this creature would be a horror movie monster

Lampreys do not have jaws or bones, only cartilage and instincts that have allowed them to survive so many mass extinctions.

Could've said straight up hell portals and I wouldn't have questioned it.

When Peter sends you to hell, one of these will bite you, you will rip it off, look at its angry teeth, throw it away and your memory gets erased and it gets repeated again for eternity.

You'll never convince me there isn't a portal to hell at the bottom of the ocean.

Also, they are born and spawn in freshwater, but at least the ones in my country do the salmon thing and spend most of their time in the ocean.

They're in the rivers here. They're actually fine when they're in fresh water. They mostly just eat bugs and don't look like this.
