Galeophobia

The word “galeophobia” appeared and became established in everyday life thanks to R. Kipling, his book “The Cat That Walked By Itself.” From the description it becomes clear that "Galeo" is an ancient Greek sea creature like a shark, sea serpent, winged lion, etc. But galeophobia does not relate to fear in general; its name comes from the fact that the animal simply resembles a huge claw. This is the fear of an everyday object that frightens with its similarity to something mysterious and supernatural. The starfish is often used in esoteric symbolism
