    Spiders have an exoskeleton. The skeleton of a spider looks basically like a spider

      This is the ONLY spider that isn’t showing its skeleton!

    I think they’re kinda cute, I like to say they’re not skeletons, they’re “bone golems”.

      Yeah these beasties are from some kind of fucked up horror dimension. They sort of resemble things we know, but they have bones and flesh. Actually scary!

    Both of those skeletons have tetrapod like rib cages, implying that spiders and octopuses both have lungs.

    The octopus one goes kinda hard

    You could slap it on a metal album and it’d probably fit

    Ha I think those are awesome.

    Of course the people that have no humor will find them boring, but how terrifying would a fleshy spider be?

      Thousands of nipples to feed its babies ….

    I get so triggered by these and my wife is sick of me complaining when I see crazy shit like the fucking skele-snail I saw last week. I think at this point they’re doing a bunch of invertebrates on purpose to piss me off

      I’m considering collecting them and only them. No human or mammal skeles, just invertibrates.

    eeee, scawy!! As an anatomy enthusiast, they crack me up! As does the 24 ft Human-iform skeletons! I rode past one on my bike yesterday. It lives in these folks front yard, because where do you store an 24 ft tall skeleton?

      The one in our neighborhood stays up from September to January, he just gets a festive little Christmas hat once Halloween ends. No clue where they store the giant bastard though.

      There’s someone nearby us with one of those. But they also have a massive Santa as well. When that one showed up I got extremely confused. Like how do you store all this holiday decoration stuff!? They cover their lawn and house with it.

        While the Santa is up you can store the skeleton back inside of it

    the living skeletons part is cool but spider bones just destroy my suspension of disbelief in the Dollar General Decoriverse

    A turtle’s shell is its ribcage, right? Wonder how they would fuck that up.

    Spiders technically have skeletons. Theirs is just on the outside and not made of bone.

    I bought the octopus for this exact reason. Haven’t seen the spider yet!
