And the coolest one.

he coconut crab is the largest land-living arthropod in the world. Its name comes from its ability to break coconuts with its powerful pincers. Also known as the robber crab or palm thief, the coconut crab is sometimes used to protect coconut groves or sold as a pet in some areas of the world ... but owners had better watch out for those pincers."

I can't imagine a guard crab...
I had to look it up ...the last pic in your first post is called an aye-aye
If I ever saw it I'd freak
Native to Madagascar, the Aye-aye is considered an omen of death to many African villagers. Its unfortunate appearance leads the superstitious to kill an aye-aye on sight, causing the population to dwindle. The largest nocturnal mammal, the aye-aye’s behavior closely resembles that of a woodpecker: It gnaws into trees to use its elongated finger to extract grub from within.
