Odd Creatures

At first glance, creatures would seem to be a curious choice for a successful pranking. After all, a myriad of things could go wrong with these types of pranks.

The creatures could get loose, they can usually bite, claw, sting, pinch or gouge in some fashion and in most cases they can become quite aggressive. For these same reasons, they make an excellent choice in some unique cases.

First and foremost, please look out for the welfare of the creature(s). They are your helpers and should be treated humanely!

Crickets
These wonderful insects are usually available in bait shops so they are convenient and cheap to obtain. Purchase several cartons and then release them in and around the victim’s yard, house and vehicle. Not only will you save these little warriors from certain death on a fishhook, but remember that crickets also love to nest in hedges, boats and RV’s. An added bonus is to release them in the Early Spring and they will multiply rapidly.

Locusts
Ok, we are not talking normal grasshoppers here. You need the big, green kind that are formidable and make a loud “snap” when they take off. Obtain two or three of them and release them inside of the victim’s house or apartment. This is especially effective if the victim has long hair or a beard.

Beetles
Do you know someone that is really anal about keeping their house clean? If so, just purchase a package of cheap wieners and when the victim is not around, place a wiener in all of the kitchen cupboards, underneath the refrigerator and in every crevice available. They will not smell, they will not even really rot normally. They just attract large, voracious beetles in about a month.

Rats
Did you know that you can purchase a “feed” rat at your local pet store for about a buck? Usually these poor animals are fed alive to snakes and other predators. However, due to your heroic actions several of these smart, survival-oriented rodents can be released into your unsuspecting victim’s home, business or residence. They will at least have a chance at survival thanks to you.

Fish
Does your victim have an elaborate aquarium? If so, this is a very effective prank. Go to the nearest large pet store and purchase the most carnivorous fish that they have. Slyly release it into your victim’s aquarium and let the feasting begin!

Birds
Purchase several econo-sized bags of birdseed and when your victim is not at their home obtain a ladder and crawl up on their roof and fill up all the rain-gutters with it. This is best used in the early summer.
