Lord of the Rings meets Harry Potter
Meet Aye-Aye, the love-child-gone-wrong of Gollum and a Cornish pixy:
Now excuse me while I have nightmares.
CHANELWOOD.COM - The internet domain of Chanel. Quirky commentary on life, book reviews, movie reviews, articles on fashion, photography portfolio and more.
Holy mother f*ck. (Look, I read your rules, and self-censored! :P)
Photoshopped? Or real?
Reply: I’m thinking it’s real. I originally found (him? her?) .. it .. from this page: 25 of the world’s weirdest animals. Beware, some of the animals are just as disturbing!
Also, for future reference, you may swear if it’s just one or two words in an appropriate situation… I’m not about limiting self-expression. ;) The rules refer to excess swearing, as in every second word is “fuck” or “shit”.. You know those types! I just can’t stand it.
September 4th, 2007 at 1:33 amThat is a really disturbing creature! As are the rest of those animals/plants on that page!
September 4th, 2007 at 1:54 amEwww!
But it’s not the yuckiest out the list. Axolotl reminds me of Pokemon. Star-nosed mole’s gotta be the the most “EWW” with the Hagfish following behind closely.
Thanks for the nightmare(s)…
Reply: I know! I seriously considered featuring the star-nosed mole as well.
September 4th, 2007 at 1:59 amGoodness gracious, that IS what my nightmares are made of. Look at it! It looks like a little mutant baby.
Reply: That was my first thought too – like what a premature baby would look like if the Devil mated with a rat.. or a very hairy elf.. But then I noticed the resemblance to Gollum and Cornish pixies.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:19 amHow… odd :S
September 4th, 2007 at 6:56 am… Oh my, that is one weird looking creature. Seems like you’ve got the breed just about right, though :P
September 4th, 2007 at 8:56 amOh my god why would you do that to me ! My eyes! ahaha you’re site is lovely, aside from this demon post. take care sweety.
September 4th, 2007 at 9:07 am… dude, what planet is that ‘animal’ from :O! Haha, Gollum and a pixy, I might start getting images in my head, oh deeeears.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:40 pmWhoa, thanks for the surprise. I certainly didn’t expect that :P Aye-Aye’s hands/claws look freaky. But the ears are kind of cute! :3
September 4th, 2007 at 1:05 pmIt’s creepy! I’m still laughing at the Yeti Crab. Some of them are cute!
Jordie will be proud!
September 4th, 2007 at 1:25 pmHahaha that website is rad. So many crazy things out there.
September 4th, 2007 at 7:20 pm*ponders* Just how sick am I if I actually find that cute?
Reply: I don’t know, but you’re sort of not alone – once I got over the initial shock, it sort of.. grew on me. So while I wouldn’t go as far as “cute”, it has this strange sort of cute appeal in a very weird way. :P

September 5th, 2007 at 7:49 amMaybe there was a threesome with Dobby at one point? Looks like Dobby’s ears ;)
Reply: Hmmm… you’re right, it does appear that Aye-Aye inherited Dobby ears. Good eye!
September 5th, 2007 at 8:23 amSweet Jesus, that’s the most hideous thing I’ve ever seen. And I thought my cousin Sarah was ugly, lol
September 5th, 2007 at 10:12 pmHaha, I believe my Anthropology class last year mentioned that critter. Thankfully I don’t think I ever saw an image of one… until now :P
There was also some weird primate that has a super long finger nail (on just one of their fingers) to dig in logs for grub. That was the weirdest animal I’ve ever seen. OH WAIT, I think that’s what the Aye-Aye is (just read the description). This one must be a baby. The adults are much creepier looking!
September 6th, 2007 at 11:17 am*shrieks!* How freaky!!
September 6th, 2007 at 1:29 pmOh goodness.
:X
My anthropology TA never mentioned THAT when we were studying primates from Madagascar…
September 6th, 2007 at 6:03 pmI believe aliens are behind this. The Aye-Aye seems to be closely related to them.
September 6th, 2007 at 10:09 pmI’m so PROUD of you, Chanel!
Reply: Awww… I had a feeling you would be! I thought of you when I found that page. :P
September 6th, 2007 at 10:13 pmOh… That looks worse then my aunt when she hasn’t had any sleep in three days. Excuse me while I go look at something pretty to make up for the ugliness of the Aye-Aye.
September 8th, 2007 at 12:50 pmI saw that thing and thought someone had done Photoshop work to create the image. Since it was originally in a page full of real animals, though, I guess the thing is real. Yikes, it’s ugly.
September 8th, 2007 at 2:38 pmOh my. It’s really quite… cute? No. No it’s not.
Better than the hag fish (on that same site). The description of that one made me shudder.
September 9th, 2007 at 3:32 pmI actually think that it’s kind of, just kind of, cute. It’s got such big ears and it’s so small. What can I say? I like animals even if they look strange.
September 9th, 2007 at 7:30 pmOMG.. Please tell me that thing is not real! That is soooooooooo scary! :( You should have gave a warning! lol
September 14th, 2007 at 12:16 pmEw lol… Such an ugly thing… Yet somehow comical
September 14th, 2007 at 10:28 pmOh. My. God.
That looks extremely disturbing. My brother is currently asking me what I would do if I woke up with that beside me every morning. :P
September 19th, 2007 at 7:17 amWhat on Earth is that thing??……….Or perhaps IT is not from Earth.
September 19th, 2007 at 8:57 am[...] figured it’s been awhile since I’ve posted something gross and creepy, so here comes another. Without further ado, I present to you [...]
October 11th, 2007 at 3:33 pmIs it me, but I find it so ugly that it’s cute. I saw once a documentary on that one, but I thought it was larger than it shows on the picture.
Anyway…thanks for posting.
October 12th, 2007 at 2:40 amthats one weird creature
November 30th, 2008 at 12:51 pmIt is like true. What is happen if I originally found that .. it ..Some of the animals are just as Not fitting anywhere! My younger brother is asking me what I would do if I woke up with that beside me every morning. :) This is very strange animal. Really..Awesome..
January 6th, 2009 at 5:18 pm[...] been awhile since I’ve posted anything that quite fits in the category of the Aye-Aye or the molting Circada. Do you miss my posts in the strange and shocking? If so, you’re about [...]
