Is it normal to be terrified of japanese spider crabs

I've never seen one in real life but I saw a picture and I just suddenly became freaked and afraid.

    Anything with really long legs is kind of disturbing to me. But I also think they're kind of cool. Also they are harmless.

    I'd rather like to eat it. Crab meat is tasty.

    Yes, normal. I have a phobia for unnaturally elongated things and while I'm not too bother by them, at least in a photo, I get where you are coming from and I'm sure that I'd probably freak out if I were in a body of water and saw that. Then again, I'd already be freaking out due to the water....

    Those things look cool. I wonder what they taste like?

        Don't speak of it! Or they'll run even faster!

        You should be able to kill them with a heat source, though, I doubt that they'll leave the ocean to hunt them down.

        Lady Eboshi: [Ashitaka interrupts the fight] What do you think you're doing, boy?
        Prince Ashitaka: Stay your hand. The girl's life is now mine.
        [San viciously bites Ashitaka's arm]
        Lady Eboshi: I'm sure she'll make a lovely wife for you.
        Prince Ashitaka: There's a demon inside you. It's inside both of you.
        [the curse remanifests as a mass of worm-like tendrils, shocking everyone]
        Prince Ashitaka: [to the crowd] Look, everyone! *This* is what hatred looks like! This is what it does when it catches hold of you! It's eating me alive, and very soon it will kill me!
        [San tries to make the curse leave her alone]
        Prince Ashitaka: Fear and anger only makeit grow faster!
        Lady Eboshi: I'm getting a little bored of this curse of yours, Ashitaka. Let me just cut the damn thing - *off!*
        [swings her needle at Ashitaka]
