Imagine if these things were huge. Like horse sized, or even duck sized.

Don't joke about that shit bro, last time they got that big they killed my great grandfather.

Have you ever seen starship troopers?

I'm pretty sure if these things were horse sized that the human race would never have made it out of caves.

If these things eat cockroaches they are either 1) insanely fast or 2) ambush predators, and still probably very fast.

I think I'd rather go toe to toe with a velociraptor.

Dude (or dudette) they fucking WERE.

[-] Shareni@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

Usually extremely fast and venomous

I saw one catch a silverfish by literally jumping off the roof onto it and gobbling it up in seconds. I'm appalled to this day by the sheer brutality.

No thank you, I don't want to imagine this please
