"Catbug is a cat but he's got bugness in his veins/ Manhouse lives within himself with thoughtful human brains/ Neither one is equal to the challenge of the freak we'll call the/ Bee of the Bird of the Moth."

Cool! How long did that take to compile?
I'm printing this off to use for Scrabble.
I'm surprised Butterfly didn't make the cut, but I can imagine persuasive arguments against it, too. Also, you have Wolf Spider listed twice. You cold substitute with Squirrel Monkey, or Devil Fish (an Eagle Ray), or Jackrabbit (a hare), or Belgian Hare (a rabbit), or, umm... Elephant Man.
Okay, I like your additions Mr C. And Dan came up with a new one this morning: Crab Lice. Ewww.
Oh man. I just really freaked myself out by googling some of the stuff on your list. It reminds me of the time I googled a dermatological disorder I saw on the bus: I knew it was a bad idea going in, but I couldn't help myself.
That's a hoot, shiveringjemmy!
Did you checkout the Geoduck?
