Tarantula/Scorpion Experiences?

[Treasu(red)]

I once scared something out from near a tree. Was dark, black and ran quickly. I had no idea tarantulas or scorpions were in the game until then. I didn't have my net out so it just ran away quickly. I've never caught one of either! I always spent my time fishing.

I have the golden net in both games but all I remember in WW is that I was playing one night and I walked behind a tree and the noise came and I didn't see anything and I was scared as ****

Then in CF I spent a whole say trying to catch the scorpion 'cause I needed it for gold net. Finally got it after about 6 hours

Scorpions and Tarantulas don't start making appearances until June-September. That's probably why there is no information on them yet.

But really, nobody even time-travelled? I set all my games to summer all the time (I know Im a cheater, but I wont time travel at all in the new game). I really just want to know what they look like and how they act in the new game. in Wild World they were a lot less predictable, and would only chase you for a few seconds, also werent very fast. But in CF they dont chase you at all unless you make them walk quickly/scare them.

That they only seem to appear in the evening or night is creepier

 

[Officer Berri]

Well of course they do, scorpions are nocturnal so it makes sense they'd only come out at night.

According to Google search results, so are Tarantulas (I've learned something today!).

My gosh. I was frightened of those things! I still kind of am. When I was playing Wild World years ago, I never knew of them! Seeing the tarantula for the first time scared me for days! I was only just trying to observe what that bizarre noise was... I remember just being like: 'Nope' turned off the game and threw my DS to the other end of my bed. Seriously, they creep me out! x.x

I found a scorpion very close to the beach in WW. I walked up to it then took out my net, but then it went into the ocean. -.-
I managed to catch the tarantula in WW though after three tries.

I still have yet to catch the scorpion though. The last one I saw was when I walked behind a tree with my net out the stinging sound played and I got so scared omg.

I always questioned how I end up back at my house. Did the Tarantula/Scorpion drag me back or something?

You black out and Tortimer drags you back to your house. That's why he has to walk with a cane.

The first time I got bit and passed out was when Chow was in my town.

Needless to say I was horrified. I was horrified even more when I woke up at my house.

Copper please tell me you saved me. ;-;

Copper isn't even in City Folk, so I doubt it.

Resseti is the one that saves you in the end.

Copper is on the right side of the gate.

 

[Officer Berri]

;-; Yeah, he might be practically invisible in the gate because I don't have wifi to ever talk to him, but he's there.

I can picture the villagers walking but and seeing me passed out and being like "Dude what?"

Obviously if it's not Copper it's either a Jock, Peppy, Normal, or a Cranky villager. The Jocks would jump at the chance to show off how strong they are by carrying a human back to their house. Cranky villagers would roll they eyes and mumble as their jerk with a heart of gold trait shines through and they take you home. The peppy or normal villagers would be so worried about you that they'd rush you home immediately. Why not snooty or lazy villagers? Lazy villagers don't have the strength, Snooty villagers wouldn't risk mussing their clothes.

...as long as it's not Chow. o_e

One day I started up Wild World, my character opened the door and walked out of the house, already holding the net by default, and before I could even move a big brownish blackish thing ran up and bumped into me and the screen went back. Literally in the span of about 2-3 seconds. I had no idea what happened at first. That was the first time I had ever encountered a tarantula or a scorpion.

 

[Shiny Star]

I remember once in Wild World, I was looking for a scorpion and gave up. Then, a few minutes later... one of them got me and I woke up outside my house. Fun times, haha.

 

[amerlene]

I've only stumbled on to a scorpion once, in City Folk I think. It bit me and I blacked out, which I didn't expect at all. I panicked for a second. I haven't been able to find one again but I don't tend to play CF in the evening in summer.

 

[Mirror]

I was scared the first time I saw a tarantula, my heart was actually pounding when it chased me! I eventually caught one of each, though.

 

[oath2order]

I'm terrified of spiders, so I was lucky to get a tarantula.

Other than that, I got lucky for that, the scorpion, and bees.

 

[Mike!]

Now it's June, that means it's tarantula season again! Went out bug hunting late last night and found one relatively quickly - caught it too!

 

[Officer Berri]

Oh god there are going to be Tarantulas running around when I get New Leaf. ._. I just realized this.
