The warty oreo (''Allocyttus verrucosus'') is an oreo (fish), oreo found in all southern oceans at depths of between 300 and 1,600 m. Its length is up to 42 cm. The warty oreo resembles the spiky oreo. However, there are differences: the body, which has a shape much like a diamond, has a lower corner not as pointed, a dorsal fin, dorsal which is not as tall as that of the spiky oreo, and there are spines along the warty oreo's anal fin.
