A very large scorpion that lives in the rainforests of western Africa. It is believed to be the world's largest scorpion, and according to legend, it can reach a length of up to 30 cm, although the largest class is usually around 20 cm. Despite their vicious-looking appearance, their toxicity is said to be weak, and the venomous stinger on the tip of their tail, which is noticeably red, is usually not used much. Instead, they use large scissors to catch their prey, which are as powerful as they look and can be quite painful when caught. Its entire body is covered in a mysterious blue-black sheen, and when illuminated by a black light, its entire body glows blue-white, which is quite fantastic. Incidentally, scorpions are considered to be one of the first animals in the history of the earth to move onto land.

A medium-sized crab commonly found in seaside estuaries and on land south of Honshu.
This species embodies the general image of a crab with its angular body, large scissors, and side walk.
As its name implies, its bright red scissors stand out, but there are also other types that have a pale reddish tint to their bodies.
They are usually active on land, and can live far from water, such as near houses and in the woods.
They are omnivorous, eating everything from small creatures to animal carcasses, dead leaves and fruit, and occupy an important ecological position on small islands.
The larvae grow in the ocean, and at high tide in early summer, females with eggs gather at the shore and shake their bodies in the water to release their larvae into the sea.

Wasps are distributed mainly in East Asia, and the giant hornet is one of the largest (in Japan, it is the largest species). It is one of the most dangerous insects in the world because of its large size and toxicity, and because it attacks in groups, but it is also one of the strongest hunters, with its venomous stingers, sturdy body, and strong jaws, and can single-handedly catch a mantis. Unlike the yellow hornet, which also builds nests in houses, this species often builds its nests in the soil, such as at the base of trees in forests. Many new queens and kings become nervous and aggressive in the fall, and may attack just by walking near the nest. It's also just about the time they attack the nests of other bees, such as yellow wasps and honeybees. Comes with a display base with a choice of two different arms to hold it securely in both normal and flight.

The Japanese UMA(mysterious animal), the tsuchinoko, has been around since the Edo period.
In keeping with this image, it incorporates elements of real-life reptiles and asks the question, "What if tsuchinoko really existed? Modeling with a realistic orientation.
Based on past sightings, the design assumes that the aardvark is a mysterious reptile that is neither a snake nor a lizard, and the fearsome face emphasizes the characteristics of a viper such as a pit viper.

Shinobu Matsumura designed and sculpted the figure based on the new idea that "Nessie is a descendant of a small reptile from the Triassic Period of the Mesozoic Era that adapted to the water," overturning the popular theory that "Nessie is a creature that evolved from a plesiosaur.
