My mother loves my face.
My sister wants to know what was wrong with me. Who creates a villain that is a SPIDER?!? But…
Spiders do look like aliens, especially alien monsters. The weirdest are the prehistoric ones found fossilized in amber—they have tails. And the tails are half as long as the spider’s bodies.
Since modern spiders are tailless, some scientists believe these ancient species are uraraneids –a group of primitive spider relatives that had tails. However, another theory is they represent an early branch of modern spiders.
Due to the hybrid feature of their tails, the new species was named Chimerarachne yingi, for chimeras— fire-breathing female monsters from Greek mythology with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tail. Most people will agree that spiders are frightening enough without tails, hopefully, no one will lever pull a Jurassic Park move and clone these Chimerarachne yingis.
Speaking of super scary spiders, check out the Huntsman Spider—theses creepy crawlers were my inspiration for the villain in Lost Valyr.
Huntsman Spiders:
And they also are:
If you find one of these alien-like giant Huntsman spiders in your home, don’t panic. Right…that’s what the experts say. They are probably roaming around looking for a mate. Seriously, again, that’s what the experts say. I don’t know how they know the spiders are out looking for love. That really seems rather personal. But anyway, the best basic advice is just to use the old glass and paper trick to get them out of your house.
So there you go, only fear the spider if you’re in space and the spider is huge, sentient and EVIL.
Perilously yours,
Pauline
