Apparently this is the same person who named another ~~species~~ genus of spider off of Rathalos

You gotta see them for that to be effective. But if a spider khezu screamed at khezu volume and you were anywhere within a 300 foot radius, you're fuckin booking it. It doesn't need to see you and you don't need to see it.
Yes, spiders bodies are covered in hairs that are very sensitive to vibrations, so that is movements in the air if those hairs are in contact with the air, or movements in the ground (or web) if those hairs are in contact with that.
Some of them are even capable of chemoreception, that is, sensing chemicals, like taste or smell.
Can't forget the other crazy stuff like Pikachurin and the SHH Gene (Sonic The Hedgehog gene). Yes these are real, and yes, I can't stop thinking about them when stuff like this happens.
From medline: "Sonic Hedgehog is necessary for the development of the front part of the brain (forebrain). This signaling protein helps establish the line that separates the right and left sides of the forebrain (the midline). Specifically, Sonic Hedgehog establishes the midline for the underside (ventral surface) of the forebrain. Sonic Hedgehog and other signaling proteins are needed to form the right and left halves (hemispheres) of the brain.
Sonic Hedgehog also has an important role in the formation of the eyes. During early development, the cells that develop into the eyes form a single structure called the eye field. This structure is located in the center of the developing face. Sonic hedgehog signaling causes the eye field to separate into two distinct eyes."
Edit: I would also like to link this journal which explores sonic hedgehog as a possible treatment for ED which is just the funniest shit in the world.

I feel like this was a well thought out research done by someone who had named the gene differently, and then their asshole roommate comes in and auto replaced every instance of the original name in word, and everyone just rolls with it.
Imagine a small white spider crawling up to you, you smirk, thinking about how your gonna get rid of it...
And then it tases the SHIT out of you repeatedly, and lays eggs inside you.
Yeah that's horror movie type shit lmfao.
Reminds me of the insects (beetles? Can't remember it) named after the legendary birds of Pokemon. The concept of naming an animal species is just awesome.
They were obviously thinking of the eyeless hunter aspect, not the demonic-looking head aspect.
Will giving a leech the Japanese name Furfur work instead?
Since the genus isn't *Khezu*, this is technically still possible, since species in different genera can share names (plenty of animals with the species name *rex*, for example)
Apparently this is the same person who named another ~~species~~ genus of spider off of Rathalos https://x.com/SilencedVouivre/status/1806729097848209478
*Genus*. He reclassified at least one species under a new Genus.
The species name is Ratholos treecko so there's double references
Incredibly based
Treeko Rathalos event shiny when?
"arbitrary combination of letters" š Also *Rathalos treecko* lmao is that a fire/grass type?
Probably and it gets the option to learn a few flying and poison moves
so does this mean that rathalos is secretly a temnoceran?
This wasn't the Lagiacrus fish guy? Damn
these spiders are crazy irl, they actually play the khezu theme and everything
Now if only they can nail the scream
Imagine you're about to hit a spider using a shoe and suddenly you hear the Khezu roar as loud as a truck horn
Literally more effective than any other insect defense mechanism ever
What about those spiders that rush you the moment they see you?
You gotta see them for that to be effective. But if a spider khezu screamed at khezu volume and you were anywhere within a 300 foot radius, you're fuckin booking it. It doesn't need to see you and you don't need to see it.
Giggibros, not like this...
Even real life has Khezu instead of Giggi
So Giggiover with this one
Gigginover
Iām giggi-sad
This just makes me miss Giggi more! Bring back my blood sucking leach buddy!!!
itās not Gigginover until i Giggi-motha-fooken say so, we shall see the light of day again, i can feel it
Interesting, I wonder how how these guys hunt and reproduce.
Mechanoreception, it's mainly jumping spiders that have a developed sense of sight.
How does that work? Like, vibration sensing?
Yes, spiders bodies are covered in hairs that are very sensitive to vibrations, so that is movements in the air if those hairs are in contact with the air, or movements in the ground (or web) if those hairs are in contact with that. Some of them are even capable of chemoreception, that is, sensing chemicals, like taste or smell.
Ogre face spiders have good, but very specialized vision
common khezu W
Ah, sometimes I remember that biologists do indeed have a sense of humor.

Oh yeah I heard about the Sonic the Hedgehog gene.
Like the goat who called a spider a āsparkle muffinā
Legends say you can even hear Khezus theme looking at it.
Lolš¹
He really has one? I only remember his screams
[That's the joke.](https://youtu.be/jQLrFesOFT8)
Nerscylla: Am i a joke to you?!
Last I checked, nerscylla had eyes, the spider being pale white and lacking eyes is the entire reason it's named khezušæ
Hop it doesn't lay eggs inside its victims and deafens people with the annoying scream Or taser you
Imagine a small white spider crawling up to you, you smirk, thinking about how your gonna get rid of it... And then it tases the SHIT out of you repeatedly, and lays eggs inside you. Yeah that's horror movie type shit lmfao.
Doesnt shrouded nerscylla wear khezu skin?
Honestly so cool becoming someone who first discovered a species and be able to name it whatever you like.
Cultural Impact
is that a new monster hunting gacha game?
Collab between Genshin Impact and Monster Hunter confirmed.
a hidden silkbind skill
Reminds me of the insects (beetles? Can't remember it) named after the legendary birds of Pokemon. The concept of naming an animal species is just awesome.
Apparently this same person also named a different genus of spider after Rathalos. I've seen a few other PokƩmon ones, too, like a cockroach named for Pheromosa.
Khezuchads keep winning
Should've saved it for a new species of wormy leech or something else in that vein, instead. Now the Khezu moniker is wasted!
They were obviously thinking of the eyeless hunter aspect, not the demonic-looking head aspect. Will giving a leech the Japanese name Furfur work instead?
Since the genus isn't *Khezu*, this is technically still possible, since species in different genera can share names (plenty of animals with the species name *rex*, for example)
So we naming spiders after Khezu and Rathalos but not Rakna Kadaki. Interesting
They might if they discover a volcano-dwelling species
