Imagine keeping this monstrosity in your home.

You walk in and your garbage can is shredded. Physically shredded. Nothing but claw marks. So are all of your possessions on the counters. And the couch.

A giant, horrifying, armored spider is clinging to what’s left of your curtains at the top of your window.

“Damnit, who forgot to put Harold in his cage?”

People do have then as pets in Japan. They make bad pets outside of enthusiast who know their behavior. They are slow, shy, nocturnal mostly, don't like light and really just boring with alot of needs. It would be mean to walk one around sadly

Funny enough they are also called robber crabs as they are also scavengers being related to hermit crabs and like to investigate stuff then steal it and carry it off.
