compiling a list in the first post as we go along, but I am only really looking for b-movies not so much blockbusters or big budget stuff...

also must be actual animals that exist in nature (even if they're grossly exaggerated versions). I haven't seen PROPHECY but it seems to be more of a monster?

claws

Tentacles (1977)



Squirm (1976)



Frogs (1972)



Bug (1975)

Is it October yet?

Spoiler:  That one would count if you include mutations.
