No one would ever really know what had changed the animals. Many believed it to be an act of God(dess)(es) while others suspected the involvement of alien life forms. But when you considered that every animal in the world had become a literal expression of its name, one thing was clear; mankind was fucked.

The bullet shrimp became a tiny terror. The hookworm had barbs. Wolf spiders were hulking monstrosities and vampire bats everywhere donned tiny cloaks.

And, perhaps worst of all, the Horned Norwegian Rape-Frog was… well.

You get it.

Who would even name something that?
