I have to lodge my vote for the humble possum. Not as disgusting as others on this thread but, ugh god i hate these things so so much.
I totally feel this post. These are nasty, horrible things only made worse by the fact that if you catch them running across a sidewalk, you might well mistake them for a kitty cat. (Though if you get rabies, you're still kind of a moron -- you shouldn't be approaching feral kitty cats, either.)

The opossum is the one animal that I was familiar with in the south that I was surprised to see in the north. There's no armadillos up here, no marauding raccoons, certainly no deer. But there's still opossums.

Chicago is home to marauding raccoons. Ask Jesse.

upon further reflection, I have decided that the naked mole rat bears a striking resemblance to the Vietnamese summer roll

That swiss cheese carrier toad thing still gives me the cereaming abdabs, especially as it looks like it's made from that disgusting green foam that florists use.

the worst part of that article:
In other insects, where females have evolved an upper hand in the war of the sexes, males have developed even more extreme counter-strategies. Look no further than the common bedbug – the male bypasses the female’s genitals altogether and stabs his sharp penis straight into the female’s back, a technique known appropriately as traumatic insemination.

Doesn't bother me too turrible as long as I don't think of it as a foodstuff. Entire fungal family/kingdom/phyllum/etc ruled out for me, forever.

Chris you might have the same Triptophobia thing we talked about upthread. I think the mushroom might even be worse than the surinam toad for me tbh.
