Animals That Are Seen As Evil

Black Cats Cats have long been associated with Satan, and also witches. Then there’s also the theory that black cats spread the plague all those years ago, but nobody knows for sure how accurate that theory is.

Snakes Most people are terrified of snakes, so naturally they made the list. But that’s not the only reason. In the Bible, the serpent was a symbol of evil power as well as a symbol of healing and rebirth.

Owls While owls aren’t associated with death, they’ve long been considered evil omens. Many cultures believe owls to be dirty and unfriendly, which is why they put them in the evil category. 

Ravens In literature, the raven has been depicted as a terrifying animal that signifies death or misfortune. While this dark, mysterious bird might look a little creepy, some cultures associate it with fortune.

Bats Bats have a reputation for being evil. That’s probably because of those vampire movies and haunted houses we’ve seen throughout our lives! Myths tell us that bats are dangerous.

Bulls Bulls have long been associated with fertility, but they’ve also popped up in Greek folklore, regarding them as a symbol of death. Let’s not forget all those scary devil bull characters we’ve seen in the movies over the years. 

Spiders In mythology, spiders have been associated with evil and death. Then there have been all those bone-chilling movies of mammoth sized spiders attacking humans.

Crows Just like ravens, crows are often seen as signs of bad luck, danger, or even death. Crows appear a lot in literature, art, and the movies, and they’re typically depicted as symbols of doom and gloom.

Rats Rats have long been associated with evil, most notably due to them spreading the plague. Then again, there are plenty of people who have pet rats, so there’s gotta be something to like.

Vultures Vultures are a little different. These hulking creatures want to be seen as they hang around areas where they can find food – usually corpses of other animals. Creepily, animal corpses are a key part of a vulture’s diet.
