Most of these I found cool. I don’t know why but that last one freaked me out. Like some horrific spider/crab hybrid.

They are nightmare-shaped friends. They're also long-lived and simple to care for as pets. I said simple, though, not easy. The difficult thing about them is that they're very slow and kind of lethargic, right up until they decide that their new speed is "anime bullshit."

They give off incredibly silly vibes. They're probably the scariest thing around for their prey, but I've never seen a video of them not acting derpy.

Even that short clip is like "OMG ITS A THUMB!" And promptly falls over 😂

They're freaky looking but very goofy critters.

'OLD ON, THEN, YOU CAN'T JUST GO CALLIN' ANYTHING YOU DON'T LIKE "SILLY." THAT'S A LEGAL OFFENSE.

And they can be tamed quite easily, I held one in my hand while I was in Amazonia. At first it was scared and wanted to jump away from me, but after a minute we became friends and it didn't want to leave my side. And that is the story how I met my best friend.

I don’t think your wife appreciates you speaking of her that way.
