I hate bugs, especially centipedes, maggots and anything beetle-like creep me out. (The funny thing is I'm fascinated by ants and bees) So I guess I would get some perverse satisfaction beating a huge centipede.
But I really liked how the books described the Taxxons, even though they sounded ugly and disgusting I still have lots of respect to all strong carnivores. A Taxxon would be one hell of a predator in real life.
