1. The irrational fear of the Eurasian wren (troglodytes troglodytes), the only wren species in the Old World (Eurasia and Africa). 2. The irrational fear of any members of the family Troglodytidae in the Americas. This fear excludes all the Australian and New Zealand wrens due to how they are not in the family Troglodytidae. Individuals who have this fear may be scared simply by hearing the loud calls or songs of wrens, not knowing where they are due to their small sizes (this especially applies to the Eurasian wren). Individuals may also be scared of these birds flying into their face or getting stuck in their hair. Individuals with troglodytiphobia may not necessarily have ornithophobia.
