We present emergent ergosurfaces (ES) in a transition layer between type-I and type-II Weyl semimetals (WSMs). The Hawking temperature defined by the surface gravity at the acoustic event horizon which coincides with the ES when the tangent velocity ${v}_{\ensuremath{\parallel}}$ is small is in a measurable interval. On the type-II WSM side, i.e., inside the ES when ${v}_{\ensuremath{\parallel}}$ is large, the motion of the quasiparticles may be chaotic after a critical surface as they are governed by an effective inverted oscillator potential induced by the mismatch between the type-I and type-II Weyl nodes. In a relevant lattice model, we calculate out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs). We find that the OTOCs are fast scrambling with a quantum Lyapunov exponent in high temperature and the scrambling is saturated after the Ehrenfest time. This confirms the quantum chaotic behavior.
