Post pics/descriptions/videos of any animals that you wouldn't want any part of. The stranger the better. I'll start with a few.
The Bobbit worm.

This unsettling creature is called Eunice aphroditois, or colloquially the Bobbit worm. These critters can grow up to three meters long and have pincers capable of slicing its (sometimes larger) prey right in half. Also? It injects a toxin into its prey to make it easier to digest. Yum.
The worm keeps itself buried in the sand or gravel at the bottom of the sea, only allowing its five tiny antennae to stick up out of the silt. If something swims or crawls along that disturbs one of the antennae, the worm springs up out of the ground and grabs whatever passerby happened to be unlucky that day. They're found throughout the warmer parts of the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans.
[QUOTE]This is Eunice aphroditois, also known as the bobbit worm, a mix between the Mongolian death worm, the Graboids from Tremors, the Bugs from Starship Troopers, and a rainbow

Mosquito/Dirty rats. No creatures in human history have caused more havoc than these two.

Shark's aren't that bad:cheers:
Crocodiles on the other hand have been documented to legitimately hunt humans as prey, not because of mistaken identity.

Tarantula Hawk Wasp....

The sting of the Tarantula Hawk is among the most painful of any insect, though the intense pain only lasts about three minutes. Commenting on his own experience, Justin O. Schmidt, entomologist and creator of the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, described the pain as "…immediate, excruciating pain that simply shuts down one's ability to do anything, except, perhaps, scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations."[

"The effectiveness of the Komodo Dragon bite is a combination of highly specialized serrated teeth and venom. These large carnivorous reptiles are known to bite prey and release them, leaving the prey to bleed to death from the horrific wounds inflicted. Komodo Dragons are native to the islands of Indonesia, with adult males weighing over 100kg, and exceeding 3 metres in length. They have around 60 highly serrated teeth which are frequently replaced during their lifetime.
The dragon is able to weaken and immobilize their prey with a venomous bite that increases the damage done by their long serrated teeth. The effects of venom were also tested by the team and found to be similar to that of the gila monster and many snakes which cause a severe loss in blood pressure by widening blood vessels, thereby inducing shock in a victim."

Is the blood always on great white gums because their teeth are constantly cutting them? I know they have teeth growing in at all times but when you look at their open mouth it doesnt seem they could safely close them.
I doubt that every one of them just ate before the camera arrived.
Though I suppose often they arrive because of bait...which they may well have just eaten.

great whites are true monsters imo. you're helpless in their domain(water). they have those blank eyes and huge, and just rip u up. its as close to dying by a monster i can think of.

These creatures have a tendency to feign kindness to get what they desire.
They take advantage of those around them for their own pleasure.
Their emotional decisions heavily outweigh their entire decision-making process.
Greed runs rampant among them.
Physical dominance is a highly desirable trait.
They sometimes kill innocent people, even if the people are no threat to them.
Most are carnivores, some are herbivores, others have eating disorders.
They come in all sorts of shapes,sizes and colors.
If you encounter one, be careful. They are very rarely ever to be trusted.
