Ehhh the url says spiders.

Not gonna do it.

Actually if you want another nightmare, you can borrow one of mine…

Picture 8 spider legs… a scorpion stinger… a long scaly slug like body and just tenticles surrounding a mouth on the ‘head’ end.

Oh yeah and they were 3-4 feet tall and 6 feet in diameter, screamed when they ran around, traveled in packs and ran along the walls and celling.

I have bizzare dreams.

The scary thing is, that’s one of the least scary things I dream about.

There aren’t any nuclear plants near their habitat, are there? :eek:  
The markings are just too bizarre.

Kinda like the guy who photographed the alphabet from butterfly wing markings.

What an awesome monster for a role-playing game. Seriously, that’s fantastic. Any other hideous creatures you feel like sharing?

Hey, Someone help me roll Skerri,  
On second thought I think I can _handle_ her alone.

I think it’s neat the way the spiders will smile at me before I CRUSH THEM!!!
