Kinder Egg

An annoying and overrated toy that's been going strong for 44 years. They're banned in America because some Americans view them as dangerous (some kids have been known to eat the whole thing without knowing that there's a toy inside and had to be rushed to the hospital).

It also doesn't help that the toy is associated with an old creepy Humpty Dumpty commercial that's bound to give little kids night sweats.
Kinder Eggs are overrated. Thank god I grew up with the Wonder Ball instead.

Mumakil

A large elephant-like creature that exists in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. They are far different from real-life elephants as they're much larger and have four tusks instead of two.

They were often referred to as "Oliphaunts" by the hobbits.
The Mumakil were often used in battle by the Haradrim

Kinder Egg Man

An extremely creepy version of Humpty Dumpty that was once a mascot for the toy Kinder Surprise (which is banned in America). His first and only appearance was in a Kinder advert where he sits on top of a wall and speaks in a high pitched gibberish before falling off.

The commercial is so unsettling that it's actually kind of hard to watch, but it somehow became a meme online with several remixes and re-edits of it.

One of the oldest known videos of the advert was uploaded onto YouTube back in 2006, with the uploader calling it somewhat disturbing for some strange reason.
It's absolutely baffling how Kinder eggs have managed to stay so strong for the past 44 years even though the Kinder Egg Man is enough to completely scare any child away from ever wanting one.

And it doesn't help that one of the oldest known YouTube videos of it was labeled as somewhat disturbing. I guess the uploader just hates kids.

Platypus

A monotreme found that's found in eastern Australia and Tasmania. When the skin of a young platypus was sent to Britain for examination in 1798, scientists thought it was a fake. The zoologist George Shaw (1751-1813), who worked at the British museum, even checked it for stitches, believing that it had been sewn together from parts of other animals (you can still see the scissor marks that he made on the pelt today). However, these creatures have been proven to be real. With a beaver-like tail, duckbill, flippers, and spiky fur, these must surely win the award for being one of Australia's strangest creatures.
The platypus is one of the world's few poisonous mammals. When trouble strikes, it squirts venom out through a hollow spur on its ankle (only males carry poison and they're more likely to use it on other males during the breeding season than on people).

The behavior that great white sharks often use. It involves a shark popping its head above the water line to see what's going on.
Great white sharks are one of the few species of shark to do spy-hopping.
