Giant bugs. They're bugs or [[Muppet|muppets]] or [[Serkis Folk]], whichever, but all are mad creepy. They have no individuality or intelligence, except possibly a [[Hive Mind]]. [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|Nobody really worries too much about the morality of killing them.]]
See also [[Giant Spider]] and [[Bug War]]. If they're from space, they're [[Insectoid Aliens]]. If they have a lust for galactic domination, they're a [[Horde of Alien Locusts]]. A subset of [[Attack of the 50
[[Truth in Television]] back in the Carboniferus Period, but only possible due to higher oxygen levels at the time. In modern times, such creatures violate the [[Square-Cube Law]].

== Films ==
* ''[[Them]]'', a classic [[I Love Nuclear Power|nuclear]] [[Attack of the 50
* The giant cockroach alien from ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]''.
* The giant insects in the ''[[King Kong]]'' remake qualify. Most were bizarre spider/crab or gut parasite/bloodworm [[Biological Mashup|Biological Mashups]], but the giant wetas were jumbo-sized versions of ''actual New Zealand insects''. [[Nightmare Fuel]] indeed.

* ''[[Tech Infantry]]'' features the Arachnids, also known simply as The Bugs. Yes, they're [[Homage|shamelessly ripped off]] from ''[[Starship Troopers (novel)|Starship Troopers]]''. But these versions are, if anything, even scarier. The Guardian Bugs, Emperor Bugs, and Queen Bugs are enormous, easily [[Attack of the 50
* [[Mortasheen]] sort of has this. They're called Arthropoids, and are technically [[The Fly|Brundlefly-style]] [[Half-Human Hybrid|mash ups]] of [[Body Horror|humans and arthropods]].

* The beetles in [[Spoilsbury Toast Boy]] range from normal beetle size to human size, with one about as big as a ''house''.
