It's called a camel spider because it climbs onto the bellies of camels and eats the stomach--because the spider secretes anesthetics to numb the flesh, the camels don't notice until their intestines fall out.
It makes a screaming/squealing noise when it runs, similar to a child screaming.
Yeah Im with you on that big SOB. I would shyte myself if it came walking up to me. It makes me think of the movie Alien
