I don’t like large dogs.

I used to have a bad phobia of them and would get sort of upset when dog people would just let their large dog jump at me. I think it’s part me finding them too big and part that growing up my neighbor had a husky who used to run at and try to bite the small dogs in the neighborhood. And she almost attacked a kid who was walking a dog.

My older brother also had this phobia. My mom says as a young child, he would freak out if he saw a large dog. My younger siblings also had a dog phobia but it was for all dogs, big or small. They used to live in a country where dogs were not nice and should be avoided, so seeing that Americans keep them as pets was a bit jarring to them.

Tailless whip scorpions are one of the only animals that creep me out. I know they aren't dangerous, I don't wanna kill them or anything, but they look so freaky

I also really don't like gallinippers (big mosquitos)

Monitor lizards are BEASTS and if you ever see one you should run away immediately although it probably wouldn't do much if it wanted to KILL you.
The Komodo Dragon, is the largest member of the family, they can grow up to around 10 feet long and despite their sheer size they have mastered all forms of travel. The one in this picture can probably swim at around 15km per hour but no one knows because no ones ever been able to record ones swim speed, probably because they're TERRIFIED of going near it.
But their run speed has been recorded and they're FAST with some of them clocking in at around 20km per hour. They live mostly in forests so you'll be forgiven for assuming you can get to safety by climbing a tree. KOMODO DRAGONS CLIMB TREES TOO.
There is no escape from these beasts, they literally eat their own feces just to spite YOU. Creating a very painful venom to make it even more evident that you just got OWNED by a KOMODO DRAGON.

For more animal facts feel free to hit me up.

I find jellyfish extremely scary. It is not even about the fact that they can sting, but just how it moves and has tentacles and such freaks me out.

Roaches are the scariest thing to have ever evolved. But also, I have a phobia of them from when one flew on me in the shower at 14. :weary: Florida, man. I love it but the one thing I dislike is our huge roaches.

That reminded me of when I found a huge one when my family came home after vacation. I was so fucking horrified as to how something so huge was just chilling in the shower.

Have you seen the underside of a starfish? It's weird and a little creepy

I had another one come to mind--solifugae. Imagine a large spider with an extra set of limbs that they can wave around menacingly, a super creepy vertical mandible, and some crazy aggression. Seriously, they would serve as a great base for some terrifying human-munching monster if you wanted to size one up big enough in a comic.

Seriously, the things were in my last workplace, and I am now super cool with spiders because they are not solifugae. Spiders just want to chill out in a corner and eat bugs. Solifugae will chase you down and try to bite you, as I ended up chasing and being chased by one in my workplace when I stumbled on one that was too big to let live.
(I worked in a dark room...and I didn't want to go about thinking that an especially big one was roaming the place and potentially crawling up my leg)
