Scorpion
Foulest, black vile thing
Part spider, crab; but mostly
Mind's horror conjured
Honestly, I pride myself in not having wonko phobias, but if you were to put a scorpion anywhere near me, I would promptly throw up and then run away screaming. Or maybe scream and then throw up, and then run away. What is it about them that makes them so horrifying? They are part spider, part crab, with a little bit of lobster thrown in. And they are grotesque! Pincers! Bite-y mandibles! A big fat stinger that can cause stinging sensations and maybe death! And they always seem to want to hide in your shoes. Ooh, I just thought of another creature that is pretty horrifying, but they are under water, so not so much of a threat. Maybe I'll write about them tomorrow.
