Animals/things Imperials are scared of
(For anyone in need of a good laugh.)
Rats. Oh boy does he not like rats. He doesn't care if they're the domesticated ones either. How this became a fear, was that he was at a weekly meeting with other commanding officers.
Something fluffy, and half the size of a mouse droid skitters across the room, which is noticed by Thrawn for he had suddenly stopped talking and was now staring at the adjacent wall.
Slavin used a small pen light to shine some light in the corner, and all everyone saw was a salt and pepper colored rat by the wall, staring at them.
Before anyone had a chance to get a word in, the small animal raced across the floor and right towards Thrawn.
He didn't scream mind you, but he did jump onto the desk, with an expression that made him look as if he was silently flipping out.
Konstantine was laughing, while Slavin and Kallus were trying to catch the animal. By closer inspection, Kallus realized that the intruder was domesticated and probably a civilian's pet. As he tried to show it to Thrawn, the grand admiral backed away.
Yogar Lyste and Captain Slavin
Both boys don't like bats. Slavin has a chronic fear of them, while Lyste hates them because of diseases. So what ended up happening, is that someone forgot to close a window, and a baby bat came flying into the room and flying all over the place.
Slavin was automatically screaming as he dived underneath a table with his arms over his head, while Lyste was chasing after the bat, carrying a blanket, and trying to catch it, with comedic results.
Now when it comes to Lyste, he doesn't like most reptiles, mostly snakes. He doesn't like how they flick their tongues, and how scaley they are. If he sees one coming towards him (even if it's a harmless, ball python), he would try to get somewhere high so that the snake won't get near him. Unfortunately for him, most snakes can slither up and down objects, so it often takes him some time to find the perfect place to get away.
Aresko isn't a huge fan of anything with a lot of legs. One such being the centipede. And there's a story of how this fear came into existence.
When he was about five or six, he had to bring his dad a face towel after he was done shaving. As he was walking towards the refresher room, his foot touched something. Something smooth, slimy, and wiggling, and very much alive.
Looking down, he saw this giant centipede right by his foot. And just like any other little kid, he screamed. Very loudly. In fact, he was screaming so loud that Grint's father heard him from outside, and had kicked open the door just to get to him and figure out what was wrong.
Aresko was practically a huge crying mess at this point as his own dad ran out into the living room, and the minute he saw the centipede about to slink away, the man took out his blaster and shot it.
Ever since then, he has harbored a huge fear over them. Grint has often memed on him a lot for it, but Aresko only reminded him of his own fear that surfaced when he was a kid....
Clowns. When Myles was seven, his mother thought it would be a great idea to throw him a birthday party. She even hired a clown as entertainment for the kids.
Since Myles has never seen a clown before, and when the man showed up, he felt as if time slowed down, and not in a good way.
The guy had also gotten in front of him and had just smiled really big and asked if he was the birthday boy, everything just caved and poor Myles booked it back inside and upstairs to his room.
Aresko and Tua searched for him, only to find that he locked himself into his closet and won't come out until Aresko assured him that it was just him and Tua.
The guy has been deathly afraid of clowns ever since.
Spiders. I've actually mentioned this is fear in my Movies that scared Imperials when they were Younger (or in general) post. But never explained it in much depth.
So Lothal doesn't have many spiders, so Tua never really saw them as much. However, she had went to Naboo and saw one making a web in a corner or a wall. It wasn't big mind you, but it was big enough to see the details on it's body.
So how did she grow a fear of them? A spider landed on her shoulder and she didn't notice it until she felt something weird and tickly on her hand. Looking down, she saw it and not a second later, she freaked out.
