The camel spider. It's not really a spider, but a solpugid. That doesn't make their existence any less nightmarish. Camel spiders can grow up to eight inches, can run up to 10 MPH (which is ridiculously fast) and can be (will be?) very aggressive. As if spiders (or faux spiders) aren't freaky enough, this particular breed only uses its back six legs while running, with the front two raised in the air acting like antennae. Camel spiders live in the deserts of the Middle East as well as Mexico and the desert areas of the USA. It's sort of comforting to know that I can avoid a duel to the death with these demon spawn by avoiding the desert, but I'm still not entirely cool with sharing a planet with them. At least they don't explode with the little baby spiders flying everywhere like the wolf spider...
