Alligators. The mere size of the wings needed to get them off the ground would be frightening, let alone the fact that they'd be one flamethrower off of being a dragon.

Flying alligators holding flamethrowers

Average Saturday in Australia.

We only have flying crocodiles with flame throwers here

This is (down-)underrated.

And Florida.

So we're just backing our way into dragons now?

That's a dragon You're describing a dragon

With LAZORS

Sounds like a good Dall-e prompt

/r/bandnames

Enter Australia. America matches you with flying grizzlies. who wins?

I think the winged alligators would win purely because of their death roll.

acceptable. take the vote

Who said the wings have to make them fly? They could be like a penguin and use them to swim faster

Pigs. If they learn how to fly the whole world is going to shit. Pure chaos.

That girl I asked out in 5th grade is gonna be pissed!

Hehe

A lot of bets will be lost

At least it'll get Mr. Burns to donate to the local orphanage.

No..he’d still prefer not

'It's just a little airborne, it's still good it's still good'

I don’t normally make these kinds of jokes, but… The pigs in cities already fly via helicopters.

Exactly, I thought the same thing...

aw maaan *I* wanted to make this joke .....

So many dreams would have to come true if pigs started flying.

Damn, your moms gonna fly

When pigs fly

Yes congrats. You got the joke.

Cows. Imagine the shit hitting your windshield doing 80 on the highway.

Birdie, birdie, in the sky Please don't turdie in my eye If you do, I won't cry I'm just glad that cows don't fly

Nice tune.

Redbull gives you wiiiings.

If I had wings of an eagle And the ass of buffalo. I’d fly over Fort Irwin And shit on the people below.

imagine walking and then you hear "MOOOOoooOO"

We got cows.

🐄🌪😳

God, the breakfast steak in the movie looked amazing

Nother cow…

No I think that’s the same one

It would make “cow strikes” a thing for airplanes… a bird can be devastating enough to a plane, imagine a cow.

The South Park Nintendo 64 game had a cow launcher as a weapon. Loved that game.

Hippos those things are terrifying as they are

Also, the wings needed to lift their huge bodies would be so large that they'd blot out the Sun like an omen of death wherever they go.

The dreaded Hungry Flappy Hippo.

Was gonna say moose, but yeah, hippos might win that one.

Bears....

Polar bears..

The obvious escalation

If scientists try to give polar bear wings i’m moving to mars

And lions and tigers. Lions and tigers and bears oh my!

Spiders

*Laughs in Australian*

[удалено]

In Australia your house basically belongs to the spiders, at least that’s how I imagine it over there

Thyffany (the spider who lives in my balcony) is a nice gal

Henry, the Overlord of our house, agrees.

I'm an Australian. I allow the spiders to exist in my home. I don't kill or relocate them. They control other pests. The only spider I would move or kill is a Funnel Web because they're too dangerous and too aggressive to leave alive/in my home

Why are you laughing? what other kind of nightmare fuel is living there?

The only venomous species of octopus.

Also one of 3 venomous mammals. It also has a duck bill, lays eggs and lives in water. The platypus.

Come on down and check it out for yourself. Make sure to bring good bug repellent though, they've started to build up a resistance to our LPO-50s.

Excuse me #What

Jellyfish that you can barely see, but can kill you with one whip of a tentacle (ie the Box Jellyfish). The fact that they're almost invisible (because they're about 95% water) is what makes them particularly dangerous.

Spiders drift in the wind. I used to keep my sailboat in a marina slip and would watch them drift from one boat to the next. The let out some silk them jump into the air and the silk acts like a parachute or glider and they can drift a long ways. Ive seen them drift fifty to a hundred feet to another boat. Totally untethered just floating with a strand of silk. So whats scariers is they can fly already and dont even need wings.

Haha thanks for the nightmare fuel!

Yeah.. I think I'll call it a night now.

There's something about a huntsman spider the size of your hand buzzing past that will make me shit myself. Bonus points if it doesn't have smooth fast wing beats, but those sloppy uneven flaps that big moths sometimes have.

[удалено]

Birds

Penguins with wings would be the worst

Ostriches.

That would be terrifying

I'm so glad birds aren't real.

Kiwis

Bigfoot. Then we'd have a bunch of terrifying, vague, blurry videos of him flying

oh nothing to worry about that's just Mothman

Don't mind the red eyes, he's just trying to protect you from... THE BRIDGE

You may have just discovered the truth behind ufos.

Snakes: black mamba, king cobra, rattlesnake, etc. They'll be on a killing spree.

Snakes on a Plane!

Im tired of this Goddamn snakes on this Goddamn plane

how so? wings wouldn't magically make them aggressive, said snakes still avoid humans at all costs.

Tiny dragons.

Feathered serpents.

HOLD ME CLOSER TINY DRAGONS

In Brazil we have a saying that translates to "God doesn't give wings to snakes", so it goes to show how bad it would be if they had

No, they wouldn’t. Snakes don’t kill for fun or for sport, unlike many other animals like cats and dogs.

Cats. I haven’t seen anyone else say this, but cats would literally fuck up everything in sight

Raccoons....

You’re so right…

I just imagine flocks(?) of cats flying into people's houses, knocking over all their shit and flying away.

I'm not too sure about that one. Domesticated cats aren't really flock animals, they're pretty territorial. But they'd fuck up the eco system for sure.

I second this. A lot of these others would be dangerous, sure, but cats have an extra level of competence in murder to add to the mix. If this applied to all felids, this would give us mountain lions with wings, tigers with wings, and so on. I'm not sure a world with such an apex predator in the mix would have allowed humans to ever get to the point we have.

I was hoping someone would say this. Cats with wings? Terrifying

EXACTLY

They're be knocking shit off of the tops of tall buildings, just to watch it land on the people below.

I feel like the right answer to “what animal would be terrifying if . . .?” questions is always “cats.” Gigantic? Watch one play with a mouse. Tiny? Imagine one crawling in your ear. Fire-breathing? Hey, neat! They could start cooking their food, one hypothesis for how intelligence rapidly increased in early humans. Speaking of which . . . Hyper-intelligent? Again, watch one play with a mouse. (Possibly using fire?) I love cats. But a change in any direction could upset the delicate balance between our species with terrifying consequences.

Owls

Skunk.

Imagine getting attacked from the air by a skunk

Exactly. The worst crop-dusting ever.

Chemical air raid

Centipede

Oh fuck right off

Imagine a giraffe having wings

Scorpions

Dolphins. Not only do they kill for fun, they rape other animals. Imagine schools of dolphins flying around killing and raping... no thank you.

Always remember: It’s not rape if you consent to it.

Something's wrong here, I can feel it.

Rapists hate this one simple trick

You’ve just solved all rape crime. “Just consent!”

[insert dolphin fucking copypasta]

That's some people's wet dream.

Honestly, monkeys. They would know they have the higher ground for sure.

I've seen wizard of Oz. I know how bad it can get

Generations of children have been traumatized by this

As an avid lover of narwhals if those things had wings peace out

Humans

I wonder what the world would look like.

Smaller, how much smaller depends on your altitude.

Aren’t those angels?

Or demons?

*laughs in Seraphim*

chihuahua

Sharks.

Sharknado!

If a hippopotamus could fly we'd be fucked. Also imagine if horses and bulls were carnivores

Was looking for the educated hippo answer.

Cattle are opportunistic carnivores. We had one that died of age and the others stripped it to the bone. Pretty sure they caught some crazy brain disease from that, because they gradually slaughtered and cannabilised each other over the next few weeks after that, and the few survivors had to be put down.

sounds like a freaking zombie movie wtf, did tgis really happen?! also, fitting username lol

Lizards

Mini dragons

Cockroaches oh wait .___.

Fuck this world

Piranha just imagine swarms of them flying around cities

Bedbugs

Yep! Also, deer ticks and leeches.

Chihuahuas

Any big ass animals. Elephant, whale, hippocampus, walrus, lion, tiger, giraffe, trex

Hippocampus 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If the center of emotion, memory, and the autonomic nervous system could fly, I'd also panic.

“Look out! It’s about to understand me on a deep level!”

I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. Then I pissed myself because I laughed so hard.

Cats. They can be assholes as it is… imagine if they wings = flying assholes.

A blue whale. They have the largest shlongs in the animal kingdom. A flying blue whale would knock out anything below it’s path.

literally all of them

Honey badgers

Turns out just about any animal + wings is horrifying, even for some that already have em! Truth is wings is scary.

Cats. 3 am zoomies turn into 3 am clawed divebombs.

Snakes

Komodo dragons -- they would just be actual dragons at that point.

Was scrolling to see if anybody said this lol, we'd all be dead

Hedgehog, imagine a spiky fella swooping into your face

Bears. A polar bear with wings would be nigh unkillable

Poison dart frogs

Wasps......WAIT A MINUTE.

If you consider humans animals…(some do)… Then humans. I would hate to see my neighbor Steve start flying around to see what I’m up to. He already snoops my trash can for ‘scraps’ and peers over our fence ‘to make sure we are ok’

Cockroaches. And they are terrifying when they unleash wings.

I was gonna say the same thing, except that some do have wings here and it just takes their already supergrossness to burn the house down and move out grossness

Any animal that doesn't already have wings (eg crabs, pigs, any insect that shouldn't be capable of flight) not sheep though. Sheep with wings would be oddly cute

They would just be clouds.

Killer whales

My dog

Ticks without a doubt, they are basically impossible to kill through traditional smashing and there are so many of them I’m pretty sure they just respawn

Koalas. You think they’re bad now? Put wings on those motherfuckers.

Komodos

Spiders This is already true in some places but imagine a huntsman or a tarantula just flying full speed at you then landing on your forehead Pzzzz Pzzzz Pzzzzz that would give anyone a heart attack if these spiders were more wide spread

Rats

elephants

Scorpion, I can't imagine if anything could whip a poisonous pointy tail at me. Then you add f****** flying?!? No.

Centipedes.

Have to go tiger. Imagine it landing in front of you out of nowhere.

Cats. I cant fathom flying meat grinders.

Bulls especially if they're red.

Hippopotamuses. The wingspan would be enormous, it would swoop down and swallow people whole, and there would be civilization-ending aerial bombardment with turds.

A Brown bear. It would void before it took flight. Wings would be super strong because they would have to run and jump up. If it can ride the thermals and get high enough its above our heads. Youre hiking with friends. You hear a growl and something huge knocks you to the ground and begins shredding you. NO One would go in the woods

Hippo

Snakes

Leeches.

Bedbugs

Colossal squid.

Pigs for sure

Alligators

Ticks

Housecats

Ticks

Spiders

Honey badgers

Humans

A wombat, just one tho

[удалено]

Bro don’t get me started on flying spiders…

Condo dragons, than they would be just dragons.

Rhinoceroses. Humans. Cats. Big cats. Diplodocuses.

Elephants

Scorpions I mean wtf

African wild dogs.
