For me:

  • Monkeys and apes: they look too much like humans and expose many terrible traits of humans.

  • Greyhounds: their thin long body shape look weird to me.

    • leeches. i watched some movie as a kid and leeches dangling over the heroes after they crossed some water scared me good.

    • those beach jelly fishes. nope. i get why they are there and i’d prefer to give them their space.

    • anything with those scaly shiny black and yellow hornet danger colors.

      If I were to harbor a guess, that movie you watched was Stand By Me. The leech scene as a kid freaked me out too.

        That might be it~ I checked it out on yt and for sure, that scene is very familiar.

        The movie definitely knew what they were doing, using the fat leeches and all that.

      Beaches jellyfishes remind me of Lurker zurg units in StarCraft. My understanding is that jellyfishes tentacles will still shoot their barbs long after the main part has died.

        I’ve read something similar too. It’s like a motor reaction to them when they are threatened.

        The important part is to “melt” the barb, they say, and that’s were the pissing tale starts.
