I`ll scarf down some shrimp and crab......but that thing looks too much like something I`d find crawling around my folks` compost pile.

Of course it does; it's a GIANT DOODLEBUG, fer cryin' out loud. I'll pass on the eating of doodlebugs, thanks. Might be a fun pet, though.

That's not one of Cthulhu's pets. That's one of his fleas.

:jaw-dropping:

Aye it's very creepy indeed but consider the other side of the coin... that thing has probably hasn't changed in overall design in MILLIONS of years, which basically means that nature hasn't seen fit to change it via evolution. So in essence what you're really looking at is perfection in design. Ugly yes but totally perfect in doing what it was designed to do. Giant size? Oh my yes but compared to it's ancient ancestors probably just a juvenile. We still don't know what all lies beneath the ocean.
So at least appreciate it for what it represents.

Yeah... the stuff of nightmares.

Imagine one of those crawling on top of your blanket while you're sleeping?
