12 Unnecessarily Nightmarish Creatures That Scuttled Straight Out Of Hell
1. The "Oh-God-Kill-It-With-Fire" Nemertea Ribbon Worm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znaW_6NMwxEThis tiny little worm is on this list for one reason and one reason only - It's just plain gross.
Perhaps that's not particularly open-minded or accepting of us, but frankly my dear we don't give a damn.
The reason for the abject revulsion flung at this little worm can be summed up in one word: Proboscis.
The way it captures its prey is by squeezing its internal muscles so hard that it turns itself inside out and fires its proboscis up to 30 times is own body length to wrap around its poor victim. Once it's got a good hold, it uses another internal muscle to suck it back in and digests it.

The feeling of disgust is very primal and probably completely unfair but ... you know ... ew.
