surinam toads
surinam toads, specifically the females, make me want to claw my own eyes out.
you see, they grow an extra thick layer of skin on their backs when it's time to breed. after they spawn, they swim up under the eggs and then the eggs SINK into her back skin where they incubate and then eventually tiny complete baby surinam toads crawl out of her still living back. and they do it every year. it's unnatural.
I can't even look at dried flower arrangements if they have those lotus flower pods. too much like those alien toads.
just writing this down has made the hair on my neck stand up and i feel anxious.
enjoy!

I like how you say something in nature is unnatual =p
But yes, they are horible enough to make me want to be sick.

It didn't help that I once came across that snopes page of the breats+flower thing= maggot breast. It was faked (although it linked to a real maggot breast) so now I too have teh fear of things like that.

YouTube link
I followed that YouTube link and somehow (from the related videos) ended up on videos of people popping spots, cysts and MRSA-infected wounds. I was sick.

I also hate
You know those creatures where the male uses a tube to deposit his sperm inside the female, and the single egg grows inside the female until it's about 1/4 of her body weight, then the offspring claws its way out of the creature's belly along a passage beside the urinary tract and...

...Oh, hang on. That's us. Sorry.

As for the toads, I can *feel* the itchy relief on my back as the parting skin allows my little ones to escape. It's like the relief of squeezing a not-particularly-painful spot. Aah, nice.
