Help! Im scared of Reefbacks :/ [Solved]

[Luis]

I know Reefbacks don't do anything but float around, make whale sounds, and carry a reef on their back, but im scared of them. I don't know what do to..... its more like I think they are super super gross, and my friend told me they spawn min. in a 30 meter range of the player when you are in the biome, so I really avoid every biome they spawn in, meaning making a survival world is useless for me. What to do? I really want to make a survival world and actually play the game rather than teleporting everywhere.

Edit: I have finally overcome my fear of Reefbacks.

[Ages]

I have always found reefbacks to be comforting primarily because when I hear the reefback calls I generally do not find a reaper in that same area. When I am entering a deep body of water I usually expect either reefback, reaper or nothing.

Their shadows sometimes confuse/startle me, because it's possible to mistake them for Reaper or Warper shadows.
(I know, those creatures usually don't appear in biomes that feature Reefbacks, but people reporting Reapers in the Safe Shallows due to a bug made me a little more "careful".)
Other than that, I don't mind them at all.

Well, don't play this game. Trust me there are WAY more scarier things in it than rock-whales.

Reefbacks are basically rock-whales, what are you talking about?

Im scared of Reefbacks, and I like to swim with these gigantic aggresive leviathans that eat your face off more than swiming with a Reefback. No joke.

I don't get you, I mean this guy got stuck near my base and I felt sorry for him, so I pushed him out:

I just don't know. I don't know why am I so scared, but I will probably try one of these methods today

You're probably afraid of giant things, which is known as Megalophobia, maybe mixed with fear of bulky/fat things, which would be Cacomorphobia* (or fear of whales, which is Falainaphobia), if the Reaper Leviathan doesn't scare you.

*(which is the term used for humans, I don't know if there's a special one for animals)

It's okay, though, just don't pay too much attention to them, and stay near or look at the ground. I have arachnophobia, and I only look at half of my screen when I encounter large spiders in unmoddable games.

What do you do with the spidercrabs? (the one eyed things that hurt you). I don't like them because of their agressivity, but I think they'd make a good pet once they're trained XD

Do you mean the Cave and Blood Crawlers? Ehh, they're annoying, but not scary.

Yeah, they're just so much of them...

The more there are the more I can feed to the ocean with the Propulsion Cannon.

Just stasis and knife them 3 t imes and BAM no more problem. Also, the only times I've been afraid of reefbacks is when I started the game and had no idea what they were or did. I was ignorant then, as I only played creative, and paid no attention to reaper loactions, surprisingly, as I would press escape and freak out over stalkers. Of course, I don't mind them in my survival world anymore, although they do startle me sometimes, and I prefer the safety of my cyclops.

Im sure I have all phobias that were named in this discussion yet. I definitely have Megalophobia and Arachnophobia though.
