Are those the creature crocodile guys? They’re one of the only things that have startled me in this his game. Other than that, some of the anatomy on the animals is disgusting, especially the dhamels (sp?).

As far as the dhalmels go, they were monsters originally from FFXI, so I presume they simply reused the earlier models (which were designed to run in FFXI's PS2-era engine) and just gave them a texture update, thus explaining their somewhat 'Uncanny Valley' appearance. ;)

None of them really creep me out. But some of them gross me out.

Yea, they're actually called Feral Crocs in Coerthas.
Having the face inside the mouth is just... eugh whyyyyy

Gigantoads scared me immensely when I started this game to the point where I'd call a Level 70 friend to kill them for me so I could progress through ARR. In hindsight, I feel silly about it. Still not comfortable looking at them, but I'm not that freaked out by them anymore.

Koja creeped me out in Stormblood, too, mainly because of the death animation. Getting the Triple Triad card that reveals they're made of mud softened that blow for me.

And while Paissa are kind of Dr. Seuss looking, those soulless eyes are rather unsettling.

That'd be about it for me.

Oh, yeah, how could I forget this thing? Doesn't creep me out, but it does make my skin crawl. Nothing should ever have that many eyes.

That's freaking terrifying...

Holy crap, I didn't know that. That IS freaking terrifying!

Paissas... Those soulless eyes...
