What animal do you believe to be the most evil?

Asked by bunnyslippers (852points) August 18th, 2013

The correct answer is the squirrel. They are the most diabolical animals on earth, those beady little eyes hide an enormous potential for evil. But I am open to other answers, so let’s hear them.

Awww no, don’t make this serious, this is a lighten the mood type question not a debate on the evils of man. That said you guys do what you want with it.

Blondesjon's avatar

I have to take you to task on your assumption sir. This is my Squirrel and she is only just a little evil.

If you want to go for pure demonic putrescence look no further than the cat.

they eat souls you know . . .

The hippopotamus. No one fully understands the pure evil of the hippo unless you’ve attempted to play monopoly with one and watch them throw a tantrum because you end up with Boardwalk and Park Place. It’s ugly, I tell you, just ugly! There were entrails flying everywhere. I’m still traumatized.

Blondesjon's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate . . . right? try sitting through a round of yahtzee with the fucking things. they’re total dicks and you have to fill their score cards out for their arithmetic challenged asses.

Dutchess_III's avatar

“Correct answer: Squirrel” LOL!!

Coyotes and racoons. And hippos.

spiritual's avatar

Rats are scary!

bunnyslippers's avatar

The problem with hippos is they are always eating marbles and they can’t digest the freakin’ things. You’d be a dick too if you were walking around with a gut full of plastic and glass balls.

Blondesjon's avatar

i always thought the grouchiness stemmed from the monstrous tapeworms they carry inside of them. that’s why they can never satiate satiate their appetites.

bunnyslippers's avatar

^^ I’m sorry that answer has been used previously and is no longer being accepted.

And the whole marble situation does stem from them trying to kill their tapeworms so I guess you’re correct that is the true root of their problem, but I maintain they are not truly evil just uncomfortable and thus cranky.

ragingloli's avatar

It is the only correct answer.

Blondesjon's avatar

Oh! Oh! Can I change my answer to emo kids?!?

gondwanalon's avatar

Little “Red Squirrels” are mean, nasty, noisy, obnoxious, smelly and just so evil. See here I hate them! Our house is located in an old growth Douglas Fir forest the Red Squirrels cause a lot of damage to our house by chewing their way into our attic crawl spaces and have destroyed one electrical circuit. I have installed sheet mettle and wire screens to try to keep them out but they simply just chew new holes. It is a never ending losing battle for me. I don’t want to kill them so I’m constantly catching them in a live trap and then release them in the woods several miles away.

I have no problem with the many Grey Squirrels in out yard as they are mellow and don’t try to move in with us.

That killer bunny from Monty Python. That bunny was also in Xena Warrior Princess, and it’s yet again a boss in a video game called Dragon’s Crown. Evil cannot die.

@Symbeline omfg, where have you been?!

gondwanalon's avatar

@snowberry HA! That is funny! I went to the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge 2 days ago and they posted signs warning people of the dangerous squirrels.

Berserker's avatar

@Michael_Huntington I got killed by that rabbit. I’m back though. as I say, evil never dies

ucme's avatar

Cows, never trust anything with a square arse, also…milk is overrated, that’s all.

Berserker's avatar

@ucme Yeah. Cows look all peaceful and easy going when you see them in fields…sometimes they turn their heads and look at you. But you know what they’re thinking?

You humans kill my people and make steak out of us…one day, the tables shall turn.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Guinea pigs run a close second to hippos. Those little bastards’ll trip you for no freakin’ reason.

ucme's avatar

@Symbeline Have you seen them fuckers eyes, all bulging & full of hate.
The black & white ones are very cranky, coz they ain’t got no colour tv :D

Headhurts's avatar

I agree, humans.

ucme's avatar

Wait, stop…giraffes!!
They ran away from Damien in The Omen because the evil bastard told them they wete shit at jigsaws & the way they stoop to drink just looks silly.
Also, they have satan’s horns.
Also, those long necks evolved so they could steal porn mags from the top shelves when they were kids…dirty Jeffrey!!

Cak is a slang word for shit over here, more proof.

I don’t think any animal is evil. That is the prerogative of human beings

Evil Animal Symbolism

The snake. Always up to no good in the neighborhood, the snake is a vile, treacherous predator. Seems to be a big symbol of utmost evil; even in The bible, Satan appears in the form of a snake.
Truth; snakes are fucking awesome. I suppose they seem evil because of their creepy face, and how they hunt.

The wolf. The wolf is always portrayed as an antagonist in fairy tales. He’s usually also always alone. A treacherous bastard who stops at nothing to meet his selfish desires.
Truth; most wolves live in packs, and don’t go around terrorizing little girls.

Spiders. Nobody seems to like spiders, and many are venomous. Again, an apparently evil animal, said symbolism is everywhere. Crafting deadly traps and biding its time, heart filled with poison, or being a badass and pouncing on fuckers…also a common element of general horror.
Truth; As the fly is nature’s garbage man, so too, has the spider its uses.

The goat. Pig headed, ungrateful, grouchy goats are also Satan’s animal.
Truth; according to many old beliefs about witchcraft and shit, Satan appeared to his witches as several different kinds of animals. An owl, a cat, large dog, donkey. Surprisingly though…never a goat.

Symbeline. Bitch of the highest order.
Truth; ^

The list can go on. The shark, the raven, crows, vultures, hyenas, rats. Gotta love symbolism. Turning an animal’s traits and activities into ’‘evil’’. Yet we’re the only ones prescribing the symbolism with the trait of evil.

Also, fuck giraffes. Ni!

talljasperman's avatar

The flying squirrel.

Sunny2's avatar

@snowberry Great story! Thanks for sharing.
My nomination for most evil animal is the cockroach. It’s going to be the last creature on earth at the end, you know. Except for the round worms.

AshLeigh's avatar

Whales.
I hate whales. Whales can die.
I just have one question about whales: who cares?
People always say whales are smart. If whales are so smart, how come they still haven’t learned to breathe under water like everything else that lives in the ocean? They’ve only had several million years to do it, and they still don’t have their shit together.
And I hate whale activists too.

zenvelo's avatar

I second @jonsblond; possums are fucking evil, beady pink eyes and eating into everything and hiding gawd knows where and leaving their tails around.

DominicX's avatar

Ravens. Vultures. Vampire bats. And most of all…mosquitoes ;)

Pachy's avatar

I don’t ascribe good or evil to animals (other than humans). I prefer to think of some of them, like scorpions and wasps, as anti-social.

ccrow's avatar

I second @DominicX – definitely mosquitoes. Although yellowjackets are right up there too.

cheebdragon's avatar

Wtf? Squirrels are so awesome.

Birds, snakes, and dolphins are evil….in that order.

bunnyslippers's avatar

@cheebdragon They want you to think they’re awesome, it’s all part of their plan. The clever little bastards.

josie's avatar

Evil requires volition. Squirrels do not possess volition.

snowberry's avatar

@josie You haven’t met a few squirrels I’ve heard of. The ones at Ball State University got so mean and volicious (is that a word?) that they bought a hawk to get the numbers down.

talljasperman's avatar

I got it… it’s the fried chicken.

KaY_Jelly's avatar

A good friend of mine would of said the bird. If it was a turkey she’d freak out. If you have ornithophobia look here..err maybe not, lol

Snakes are evil.

I take that back, it’s us humans who are evil, after all we are born sinners and we should know right from wrong, wild animals survive on instinct alone, killing is one and we humans think murder is evil even though we murder animals for food and kill our economy because of it, animals are in everything even in beer and egg whites in mouthwash, wtf …ugh we just can’t learn.

gondwanalon's avatar

Please excuse me for being a little serious here to all of you who think that humans are the most evil animal. True we destroy our living environment. We wage war and rape pillage , burn and or take advantage our fellow humans and or anything that gets in our way. Humans are the victors of the planet at this time.

Why do we do it? Because we can. Evil is our M.O..

Why don’t other animals not do what human animals do? Of course they would if they could but they can’t.

Our time of global dominance will likely pass relatively soon in geologic time. Then some other beast will rise up and take over our niche as the most “evil” animal .

My old goose Marwyn…he has tweaked and wing punched many a stranger in his day.
Best watchdog ever, and his specialty was keeping Jehovahs witnesses away. He was at their car doors before they even have a chance to exit, and “God” forbid if they do. He once almost took down a little old lady witness.

She never came back and must have spread the “word” as no others ever returned to the land of Marwyn. lol

wildpotato's avatar

Deer – I hate them so much! They are giant vermin with hooves that keep trying to kamikaze my car. And they bring ticks into the area, and eat gardens. I’m really looking forward to hunting them.

Also, ticks, chiggers, and guinea worms. Actually, guinea worms probably take the lead on this whole list.

El_Cadejo's avatar

@wildpotato you live in the north east?

Dutchess_III's avatar

They’re all over @uberbatman.

El_Cadejo's avatar

@Dutchess_III Oh I know they are but not like they are here. At least in my experience, especially with the ticks. (It’s like an unspoken requirement to live in NJ to have had or known someone who has had Lymes disease :P)

This reminds me of a funny related story though. When I was in Belize my fiance and I went to the zoo. So we’re walking around looking at all these exotic animals like tapir, kinkajou and coatimundi. We noticed up ahead of us there was a school class at the zoo the same day and all these kids were all crowded around this one pen going crazy for the animal that was in there, so we walk over to find out what it is that has them all excited…..white tail deer – _ – . I guess its all relative , you don’t see deer often there so it’s a big deal to them.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Around here you’ve either hit a deer at least once in your life, or everyone you know has. That was a pic of our Buick about 3 years ago (I was having the kids and my students sign the hood just because I thought it would be cool to write on a car!) Rick was driving. I wasn’t with him. I just don’t know how I’d react if there was suddenly a deer right there. I know how I’m NOT supposed to react (don’t swerve) but it would just SO freak me out.

El_Cadejo's avatar

@Dutchess_III lol nice. I hit a deer my first week of driving. Well I didn’t hit the deer so much as the deer hitting me. I saw one out in front of me in the road so I slammed on the brakes and outta no where came another deer that ran straight into the driver side window. Scared the shit outta me lol

Dutchess_III's avatar

I’ll bet!!

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

We had a wild turkey that was completely psycho a few years ago. He would dive bomb the car as we drove by him. And he would come close to hitting the car. Fortunately he tried it with a truck and misjudged his clearance.

Coloma's avatar

Awww…poor deer, I live with them also and while it is frustrating when they eat your garden and scary worrying about them leaping in front of your car, they are just trying to survive like the rest of us. The world would be a better place if humans disappeared and left the earth to the animals IMO.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Yeah…when Rick came home and told me what had happened, my first response was “is the deer OK???”

cheebdragon's avatar

These nasty critters are also known as…The Devil’s baby, the Devil’s fetus, evil fetus, bald devil fetus, bald fetus of Satan, and earth fetus.
(This is probably one of the smallest I’ve seen)

Dutchess_III's avatar

Oh @ragingloli! You were doing so good!!!

Dutchess_III's avatar

@cheebdragon Aren’t those potato bugs? They look like honky crickets to me. What is so nasty about them?

wildpotato's avatar

@uberbatman Yes – I live in New England now; just moved up from NJ. They are really bad here!

Berserker's avatar

Those potato fetus cricket buggers are cool.

shego's avatar

All birds are evil. The way they hangout in their groups staring you down, trying to reach the depths of your psyche to gather your soul. They love to conspire and make you think they are going to dive bomb you, or even worse, shit on your head while you’re getting ready to walk into an interview ewwww or the way they sound when they are in final approach for takeoff.
They all have one saying in mind
“I am the terror that flaps in the night, I am the fingernail that scrapes the blackboard of your soul.”

I still think it is the fried chicken.

Berserker's avatar

The assmonkey.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I’m with @Symbeline! What is an ass monkey?

Berserker's avatar

An ass shaped monkey.

Dutchess_III's avatar

But of course.

cheebdragon's avatar

Assmonkey makes me think of a baboon.

The fried chicken. KFC R.I.P.
