This is a fish that natural selection (or the deity of your choice) has endowed with a curved blade sticking off of its nose. It was a bit of an evolutionary (or creationary) dead end, though, because pirates took to pulling these fish out of the water, breaking off the blade, and eating the rest of the fish.
So the scimitarfish is just a sad example of the vagaries of random chance (or the bizarre sense of humor of an ineffable deity. Look, we're not out to offend anyone).
