You're that ninja...

I can't think of a single fox that you guys haven't already mentioned.

I mean, where do you go from this FFS:

Oh wait - I've never been brave enough to play Never Alone - but the Arctic Fox in that is technically a fox (on account of it being a fox):

Spoiler:

All right, not as many notable foxes as I'd thought. New animal: SPIDERS.

Dzzzt:

NO NO NO GETTITAWAY:

Nice! No, wait - terrifying!

Shantae Spider-Form:

Spider-Mon:

Spider-NO!:

Ugh, don't like spiders . . . apart from radioactive ones that bite 15-year-old science nerds.

I suppose I'll live up to my stereotype and give you

Quelaag:

Woman on top, spider on bottom, bastard boss fight all around. The introduction, where it pans down and catches you unawares, was a classic DaS moment, and Quelaag and Quelana and all the sisters were a particularly tragic little tale.

After much deliberation over the likes of Deadly Creatures and Devil May Cry, it had to be:

Spoiler:

Zero has contributed easily the scariest spider to this thread. More so because it appears in a game where you don't expect something quite that bloody creepy.

I'll also contribute with a spider I've recently been having showdowns with:

Spoiler:

Very creepy - I felt genuine chills after he hit me with his big sleep jab (think Shelob hitting Frodo) and then unearthed a set of horrific poison pincers to nail me with.

Spiders you say?

Spoiler:

She has amazing tunes!

Top-notch arachnophilia Muss, and obligatory music posting.  

It's also a reminder for me to change the beast/bird/whatever.  So, staying on the theme of things you should run away from in Australia, let's have your favourite gaming snakes.

Best Pokésnake - OH GOD THE SAFE SEARCH DOES NOTHING:

Here is a sneaky hidden snake:

For Jay:

A Castle to anyone who mentions any humans/humanoids from the Metal Gear series who may happen to have "Snake" in their names.  I know what y'all are like.

Snakes... why did it have to give me the opportunity to do the Indiana Jones quote about snakes?!

Snake One:

Another Pokésnake:

Arg, no!:

I quite agree, and I don't see why anyone would mention such a thing in the wake of this cultural icon from the legendarily respected, voices of the forgotten men, Digital Homicide, when they have

This Jim Sterling Crusher to offer, :

Chapeau.

Screw Moldorm. Never quite as much of a pain after that, thank goodness.

Not had my say on Spiders so:

Quite surprised that no one mentioned these ones from Zelda

Gohma:

Skulltula:

Also with Jay on the Nerscylla from MH4U which is one of my all time favourite MH monster.

Snakes:

Najarala also from Monster Hunter.

The hours, the hours, spent searching for the source of those irritating scrabbling noises... All too often it was a behind a then-inaccessible waterfall or something.

GOO SNAKES:

GOOSE SNAKES:

Now that I've fulfilled all my stereotypes, by mentioning Dark Souls, mentioning Pikmin AND shamelessly plugging one of our podcasts, I'll try to think of something more interesting.

Other than Mr Crispy, Resident Evil 4’s snakes were the scariest moments in that game. Slicing apart pottery has never been so jumpy! Struggling to think of any snake characters outside of bosses (Gobblegut in Super Mario Galaxy 2, or generic snake enemies in RPGs). Snake on the Nokia?

A real snake in a Snake game. Also reminds me of this little fella (who incidentally was a pain in the backside to obtain):

From Yo-Kai Watch:

I thought I'd get away with that one.

I almost forgot about this belter from Smash Bros.
