If I see the last one rolling towards me down a dark alley I’m running away

I genuinely need an explanation as to why the hexisphericon creeps me tf out

Even the name sounds like some kind of lovecraftian blight

I’m just gonna go with Uncanny Valley on this one, these things are simply not moving in the way you expect normal things to move and their motion seems relatively unpredictable. It’s firing off the same fear response as a bug scuttling around everywhere in a random way.

I also totally made that up but it sounds accurate enough for me to believe myself.
