Stonefish.

So, you thought you were scared of spiders…
Meet this ugly bastard – The Stone Fish, it lives in the costal water of Australia.
If this little shit stings you it causes THE WORST PAIN KNOWN TO MAN – Not even childbirth comes close to the pain caused by this nasty little fucker. The pain is so great people have been known to attempt botched self amputations on the affected limb.
Here is what some guy experienced after being scratched on the finger, “ I got spiked on the finger by a Stonefish in Australia… never mind a bee sting… imagine having each knuckle, then the wrist, elbow and shoulder being hit in turn with a sledgehammer over the course of about an hour. Then about an hour later, imagine taking a real kicking to both kidneys for about 45 minutes so that you couldn't stand or straighten up. This was the tiniest of nicks. Got sensation back in my finger after a few days but had recurrent kidney pains periodically for several years afterwards.”
P.S. It frequently leaves the water and can live outside the ocean for up to 24 hours.
