Is there an MMO mob type that totally icks you out?

For some people, it’s spiders. For others, it’s bats or snakes. (For Justin, it’s elves.) And for me, it’s roaches.

I’ve been incredibly lucky, honestly, that MMORPG developers are stuck on bears and spiders and orcs and haven’t figured out the whole roach thing, but there it is. Roaches and beetle types freak me out, even in video games. I’m not even going to go google for the formal term for “beetle types” for this post because I know there will be pictures. There were entire levels of Torchlight II (shown above — sans roaches) that I simply couldn’t play until some lovely modder came up with a plugin to get rid of them after many players begged him to. (What’s less cool about that thread is how many people showed up to laugh at people with critter phobias or lectured us on exposure therapies that fail more than work. On second thought, don’t read that thread. Just cheer the modder.)

I certainly won’t make fun of you, and I want to know what freaks you out. Is there an MMO mob type that bothers you so much you just run the other way?

seen enough centaurs for at least 8000 years to be honest.

I can't say that any mobs "ick" me out. And if there was one, I'd think is was fucking awesome. I embrace being uncomfortable, because life.
