Since Halloween is tomorrow, I figured it would be best to put up some pictures of really creepy creatures. I tried to get a variety, but seems most of the ones I found were aquatic and/or insectoid. Had to really go hunting for mammals. Couldn’t bring myself to put any of the spiders on here because those freak me out. The Huntsman Spider is especially terrifying to me. I genuinely have my limits.

Angler Fish

Aye-Aye

Black Mamba

Coconut Crab

Goblin Shark

Hamadryas Baboon (Not creepy-looking, but baboons are vicious.)

Vampire Squid

Visored bat

Wolf Fish
You can see where the inspiration for some mythical creatures came from.

Definitely. Even stranger is how more mundane animals inspired these creatures.

You were so right to keep the spiders off the post. Your use of the word creepy was accurate. I never heard of coconut crabs but talk about creepy. 😳

I remember seeing pictures of coconut crabs before. Thought they were fake.

Great post. I seem to have several photos pinned of some of these creatures. I even based an entire series around one of them.

I’ve seen them appear online under ‘shocking’ nature articles. Pretty inspiring for monsters.
