It's a Weta. They exist in Australia, , Russia, Southeast Asia, etc. Here's one in larva form.
Dear Sakurai why D:
I saw this in the OT. Is this what we've devolved into SmashGAF? The OT? Are we gonna talk about tipping next?
OK, a weta then. I still want to know why it has five limbs and if it's OK, and also whether it's hurting its handler.
Once I know this, I would then prefer to not scroll past more GIFs of it!

1. Zelda, Pit, Luigi, Bowser (in Melee/Brawl anyway).
I used to main Luigi but I only find him fun in Melee but that's because of how crazy his wavedash is. In 64/Brawl I don't find him fun. I always wanted to use Zelda and Pit, but never found them enjoyable to use. I'm just gonna say I'm extremely happy with Bowser's changes in Smash 4.
2. Lucario is the one. Huge indifference towards it, but I love the way it plays. Probably would have used it a LOT if I actually liked the character.
4. Wario, DK and Captain Falcon. I'm not exactly happy about Falcon's portrayal in Smash as an F-Zero fan, but I do love his playstyle. DK is a bit bland, but the way he plays just suits me. I LOVE everything about Wario, from his portrayal in Smash to his moveset and playstyle. Well minus the fart, but I'm OK with it I guess.
5. Fox/Falco and Snake. I got into MGS because of Snake's inclusion in Brawl.
somehow, this is even worse

A kind of tricky one as i've gelled quite well with my favourite nintendo characters in smash.
But back when Brawl had yet to release I recall being most excited to play as King Dedede, for a while he was one of my four most used characters in Brawl but over time I began to realize I never really clicked with Dedede's style even with my heavyweight love and gradually he fell into the background.
I also get the feeling I'd play as Wario a lot more if I didn't find his moveset underwhelming with its random Wario Ware like focus, where the heck is my Wario land/world brawling ability?!
Oh and after Kid Icarus Uprising I'm a fan of Pit but I dislike using him in Brawl, coming to think of it he may be the perfect example as I still bust out Dedede and Wario yet Pit remains untouched, here's hoping Smash 4 fixes that.
So going back to the pre Brawl release days I had no real interest in Lucas, he was the one newcomer I expected to be at the bottom of my personal pile in usage.
Slowly but surely I came to realize that I enjoyed playing as Lucas a lot, on a surface level he looks like a Ness spinoff but in execution he's a different beast entirely, deceptively hard hitting smash attacks among other things make him one of my favourites in Brawl. It helped that since Brawl's release I played Mother 3 so I could connect more to the character, in any case he went from "who the hell is Lucas?" to "please don't cut Lucas!"
DK is straight to the point, a huge gorilla who will simply wallop the heck out of opponents with his limbs and head, spikes galore and much more.
Ike was a funny one because I'd never have expected him to be a heavyweight but his playstyle in Brawl fit me perfectly, I'm so glad they ignored his well rounded and pretty swift Path of Radiance origins to just make him a weighty sword wielder whose rough fighting style contrasts perfectly with Marth's noble fencing.
Referring back to point 2, I'm sure I like Lucas more because of Smash.
Listen smash gaf. If I want to be digusted, That's why I go to off topic. ¬_¬

I can't helped but want to point it out that Mr. Smiley isn't telling us the truth.
Look how his avatar staring at the bug.

Do anyone think we will see anything from CoroCoro during weekend?

I thought so, too. But I thought Wetas were actually somewhat docile?

God DAMN it Heath, why? That's the single most awful thing anyone's posted in the history of SmashGAF... even worse than Toxi's avatar. 
I'm well and truly disturbed for the weekend. Fuck.

I deeply apologized for causing y'all scared with the bug. Honestly, I didn't expect to see a lot of reactions for a little bug, but it's harmless unless you bothered it right?
Hahaha, perfect

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
From what I've heard, wetas bite like crazy if you try to handle them. Otherwise they're pretty harmless.

I hear tipping increases your chances of finding shinies. Make sure you always tip 1000 pokedollars for it to work.
Well now I'm reading up on wetas. Apparently some of, if not THE largest insects in existence. The tree-dwelling ones are vegetarians but the cave-dwelling ones are omnivores and will prey on other insects. They're nocturnal creatures. They can't fly. They prefer to avoid confrontation and the largest ones are especially passive, but if cornered or provoked they will bite in self-defense. Their mandibles are strong and can draw blood; their bites are very painful but generally harmless. They have barbs on the backs of their legs that are meant to scare off predators and could scratch in retaliation. The females have what look like stingers but are actually meant to lay eggs.
TL;DR - Don't go to Australia
Unless Sakurai hypes it, it isn't going to reveal shit. This is the general rule of thumb that should be followed.

Indeed they do, as I just found the extremely disturbing video that this gif came from...
WHY would I do that?!

lmao this was inevitable wasn't it
I know the person handling the weta in that video is an expert, and they understand the bug and how it works, but I still don't understand why they just let the bug make mincemeat of their hands
Sakurai is Fight Club. The first rule is there are no rules.

If I recall correctly, it only has content on what's been revealed already. At most, there may be stage reveals.

Well, we are expecting booklet of Smash information based on announced characters and stages from CoroCoro. People are still waiting for the information. There are good amount of people believing that we are getting one new veteran from the magazine but I seriously doubt that we would.
lol so that's what Pokemon X was conditioning us for

precisely
When Otacon tearfully tells you, "Ness... He lived a good life," he really means Ness is somewhere else putting a gun in his mouth before a patch-eyed Lucas intervenes and wheels out an unconscious Sakurai, saying, "Ness, if we off this guy, we can be in Smash."
I could only say so because I know Ness is in the game.
I feel pretty good about Lucas too.

Not seeing how this avatar quote matches up.
Brb, going to grab a Lucas plushie to drop off
Is that not a tongue sticking out making a "
" face?
Im sorry MrSaturn99, but your SmashGAF brothers were just hasty. They were always that way.
Youll forgive your hasty brothers, wont you?
If anyone is cut, I'm suiting up Arnold-in-Commando-style and army-crawling through every vent at the Bandai-Namco building. I'll infiltrate their defenses and, while aiming a weapon at them that looks suspiciously like a potato but they don't want to take any chances, I'll force them to patch those characters back into the game. Then, I'll have a bare-chested brawl with Sakurai on a catwalk over a steaming vat of acid, before returning to my womenfolk and fellow countrymen here in Smash-GAF.
