Hallucigenia Stuffed Toy These strange and sometimes terrifying organisms used to roam the Earth. They've been resurrected as much cuter and fluffier plush versions Hallucigenia: It has teeth, claws, spines, and it's a worm. This strange worm with legs has been made into a cuddly and harmless plush. You might find it hard to believe that this creature once lived on Earth because of how alien its features look. It comes in marble pink and has 6 pairs of legs and 7 pairs of spines that were carefully sewn. Hallucigenia is exactly what its name suggests. Trippy and a bit absurd, these ancient organisms have the strangest appearance and a history to match. Because of difficulty deciphering its fossils, these creatures are largely misunderstood. Hallucigenia are a genus from the Cambrian period, 541-485.4 million years ago. They have been discovered in shale deposits in Canada and China. Hallucigenia have 7-8 pairs of legs that end in a pair of claws. Above their legs is a stiff spine. Hallucigenia are so poorly misunderstood and strange, they were first reconstructed upside and backwards. It's lumped together with other odd worms with legs.
