Japanese spider crabs are why I would hate living on Roshar

On earth we have the Japaneese Spider crab which, if you are unfamiliar with, you can see on Wikipedia is pretty much living nightmare fuel. Just think of living on Roshar where everything is pretty much a creepy shelly scarey pincery terror. Sure if I were born there'd I'd be alright (I have blue eyes so I'd be really alright as an alethi despite my paleness. ) but if I were to world hope over I think I'd hop back pretty quick.

Both of those arthropodes look awesome(ly creepy)! I don't see how they would keep someone from living on Roshar.

I don't know why this is an issue.

 

In fact, all of the crustaceans on Roshar would be to my benefit.

 

I'd just hurl them at my enemies and watch them get eaten, flee in fear, or both.

 

It's one of the many skills that Skyrim has taught me.

Fortunatley roshar seems to be mostly lacking in flying arthropods.

 

There is apprently a japanese wasp about 3 inches long that sprays corrosive acid...that then acts as a pheremone trigger for other wasps to come spray you!

 

*holds fist up to a skyeel* BRING IT!!!

Are you talking about the Asian Hornets, Vespa mandarinia (and it's japonica subspecies)? They have a neurotoxin instead of just acid in their stings and kill about 40 people a year in both Japan and China (with many more needing hospital treatment).

Roshar has it really lucky (these have recently been found in France and killed 4 people last year).
