No Animal Attacks! Pt. 2

We left off yesterday describing how to make yourself a bad target for various types of animal attacks. So, with no further ado, let's continue!


Venomous Villains: scorpions, spiders, chemical factories, various types of eagles

How to Prevent Attack:
Having lethal venom running through your body is kind of like being perpetually drunk, like drunks, these animals tend to swagger, brag, and be violent. And like drunks, these animals have no real agenda, they are just out to have fun and cause trouble. The only way to foil their rabble-rousing lifestyle is with extreme boredom. If you are about to be attacked by one of these creatures, covered yourself in dozens of rolls of duct tape or completely tangled coils of rope. You can also leave clues to your location in the form of complex riddles, in case one of these animals is following you.


Aquatic Adversaries: squids, sharks, octopi, giants squids, various types of eagles, and colossal squids

How to Prevent Attack:
Nothing ruins a peaceful trip into the woods like some sort of sea creature attacking you. It's really a downer when you set up your campsite, and suddenly a giant squid emerges from an oceanic trench and crushing your tent in its wheelbarrow-sized beak.
The only way you can discourage aquatic predators is to make them think that you're one of them. Construct a massive fake squid shell using a large vehicle as the base. I suggest using hoops of lightweight wood bound together and then covered with a shell of papier-mâché that has been painted bright red. Then cover this layer of paint with organic or electronic photophores that simulate the complex color changing ability of squid. Link all of this to a complex computer-controlled system so that if you are approached by a squid you can convince it not to attempt to mate with you.



How will you know what it is that is attacking you? Find out tomorrow!


Peace Love and Understanding
