Question 1 of 15
1. Frenzy the Fox has a nice den dug into the side of a bank. Unfortunately, it is in a fairly dangerous part of the forest. This is his home, where he always begins and ends each day. His nostophobia doesn't bother him at all as he wakes up and then ventures out into the forest, but he knows that it will definitely bother him later. What is it that he fears? Hint


Question 2 of 15
2. Frenzy begins exploring the forest, like he usually does. He catches the scent of a rabbit, and begins trailing it. Without even realizing it, he almost walks into a giant brier. He looks up to see the thorn covered bush, and swiftly backs away, making sure to keep a distance of at least five feet away. His aichuriphobia is making him fearful. What is it the fear of? Hint


Question 3 of 15
3. Frenzy also has a phobia called astraphobia. He's too tired to be scared right now, though; always being afraid takes a lot out of him. He lies down and closes his eyes to take a nap. After only a couple minutes of sleep, he awakes to the sound of a very loud noise that seems to shake the ground. He did not get much rest, but luckily he also did not see the thing that could have caused him fear. His astraphobia is the fear of what? Hint


Question 4 of 15
4. Suddenly a light rain begins, reminding Frenzy the Fox of how thirsty he is. He travels to a close pond, where he begins quickly quenching his thirst. Everything is going okay until the rain abruptly stops. Frenzy glances at the still water and dashes off because his spectrophobia has gotten the better of him. What has caused his fear? Hint


Question 5 of 15
5. The fox's luck seems to be changing because he spots a dead trout lying in the weeds. He races toward the fish, but a snarling badger suddenly charges at him. He wants the fish, but because of his kakorrhaphiophobia, he does not want to even try to fight without being totally certain he will win, so he sprints away. What made Frenzy apprehensive? Hint


Question 6 of 15
6. Frenzy wanders out into a nearby field, and is feeling fairly safe. He doesn't have to worry too much about the fear that has entered his mind now. As long as he doesn't see certain kinds of flowers or a specific kind of berry, then he shouldn't be bothered by his porphyrophobia. What fear is Frenzy thinking about? Hint


Question 7 of 15
7. As the fox roams through the meadow, he sees a vixen up ahead. He rushes to meet the girl fox, and begins getting to know her. He starts to realize that he really likes her, but then bolts away. That is to be expected, though, because of his philophobia, which is a phobia of what? Hint


Question 8 of 15
8. Frenzy the Fox soon sees a stream, and notices some food on the other side. He wants to get across, but the stream is pretty wide, and he would have to be lucky to jump that far. He notices some boards placed over the stream in the distance, but decides to take his chances, and leaps across because of his gephyrophobia. What is his fear of this time? Hint


Question 9 of 15
9. Frenzy's attention is being drawn by the sight of dust and dirt being hurled into the air. He hopes that it is not being caused by the one animal his zemmiphobia forces him to fear. He creeps closer to see what the animal is. He is finally able to get a good look at the creature, and it is no surprise that it happens to be the one animal he is scared to death of. He nearly faints at the sight of the creature, but begins to flee before he lets that happen. You may not have gotten to see the animal, but a tip is that Frenzy does not believe something has to be the most dangerous to be the most frightening. So, what animal is his fear of? Hint


Question 10 of 15
10. Now another phobia is starting to bother Frenzy. It is sciophobia. He tries to remember the word that names what he is afraid of, but it has slipped his mind. The only way he can think to describe his fear is that it is darkness that is only possible when there is light. What fear is it that he is trying to recall? Hint


Question 11 of 15
11. Frenzy continues through a wooded area until begins to hear voices. He looks up, and he sees a crow retelling a story to two other crows. Frenzy listens in about how the crow almost got his fill of corn from a farm not too far away--at least until the farmer began throwing stones at him. The crow continues, "I saw the rock coming at me, and then it hit me". Frenzy thinks for a moment and begins trembling. Then, because of his paranomasiaphobia, he hurriedly moves on. What is the fox's fear of? Hint


Question 12 of 15
12. Frenzy has one phobia that can actually help him stay out of danger sometimes, photoaugliaphobia. It always takes him all day to arrive at a road he has always wanted to brave crossing, so he always arrives when it is dark. Frenzy starts to cross the road, but begins thinking differently as some of the cars face him. What could he be fearful of this time? Hint


Question 13 of 15
13. The fox sits down, and begins looking up at the sky. This is something he almost always enjoys doing, whether it is day or night. He only has one sky-related fear, which is cometophobia. He does not mind having this fear too much, though, because even though he often gazes at the sky, he very rarely sees the things that alarm him. What is his phobia of? Hint


Question 14 of 15
14. With a phobia like barophobia, you would probably think Frenzy would be frightened all of the time. Only certain situations cause his phobia to bother him, though. The fox's phobia last caused him dismay when he was trying to catch a squirrel a day or two ago. He had chased a squirrel into a tree and was waiting below, when the squirrel suddenly began to lose its balance. The squirrel fell to the ground, but instead of catching the squirrel, Frenzy had cowered away. What was it that had made him panic? Hint


Question 15 of 15
15. Frenzy has almost reached his home when he notices something on the ground. He brushes away some leaves, and he discovers that he has found a book. He uses his muzzle to open and turn the pages of the book, and he sees a few pictures and a lot of text. After flipping through a few pages, he notices one that is only half-covered in writing, as if the book had not been completed. He turns to the next page, and becomes terrified because of his vacansopapurosophobia. What strange fear has frightened the fox this time? Hint
