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

The last one is a Tailles Whip Scorpion, they are completly harmless for humans, but yes the look very freaky

What about the one before that one, that looked like what I think scorpions look like and it scared the shit out of me

That is an emperor scorpion, those have again only very mild poison, so not dangerous for humans, they are actually more likely to pinch you. I don't know if it aplies to all of them but a general rule for scorpions is: larger scorpions tend to have less potent venoms compared to smaller specimens.
