Every insect and spider that's as big as a house cat or above that size, hell even rabbit sized ones would be too much.
Velociraptors. Imagine encountering one of those critters when you're on a hike!
Those were the size of a turkey. Problem was they were pack animals, apparently.
Terror birds. As big or bigger than a moa, equipped like velociraptors and with a nasty temperament. Think cassowaries but way bigger.
I would LOVE to see a giant murderbirb, though... 👀 Secretary birds are already amazing, and something 10x their size...
Sabeltooth tigers. I love cats but those would frighten me.
Several ones:
-The Dunkleosteus, an armored carnivorous fish of the late Devonian period, the size of a bus. Then the short-faced giant bear. A 900 kilograms, 3.4 meters tall carnivore that lived in North America during the Pliostecene that would make a grizzly look like a cub, and finally the titanoboa, a 13 meters long, over a ton in weight snake.
And on the creepy factor, the Arthropleura, a giant, 2 meters long centipede from the Cambrian period. Imagine one of those brushing against your leg.
Tyrannosaurus Rex. That may seem an obvious answer, but, think about it! T's are closely related to Godzilla, and we all know what a pain in the neck he was.
Pterodactyls. Think about it. You're just casually walking along... And BAM. Swooped up by a flying, meat-hungry freak with a 30 foot wingspan... Nope. No thanks. I'll stay home.
I'm glad megs are gone.
Terror birds. Crazy-big birds (we're talking HUGE) that just roamed around South America (and later Florida)...
