Edit: Look at it this way. The tentacles are useless. They aren't that big compared to Drainage, and they are unarmoured. As anyone who enjoys calamari will know, tentacles ain't that tough. Drainage is literally encased in razor sharp metal. Which will be moving at an incredible rate. The first time aggronaut tries to grapple, it will lose its only upgrade, and then it won't even be as good as the overrated Dreadnautilus.

That seals it, i've had a soft spot for Dreadnautilus from the start, and as upset and worried as i am that they've defanged him as much as they have, if Sarah Palin is on Drainage's side, i'm with ##Aggronaut.

So come ye back from burried 'neath the rubble
Come back from 'dere that carrier's rusted bow
'Tis we'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Gezora, oh Gezora, we love you so.

And if you come, when all fighters are dying
And I am drunk, as drunk I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and pour a cold bir there for me.

And I shall hear, you undulate above me
And all my dreams will warm and damper be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you'll bir me
We'll simply sleep in peace 'til next tourney.

with my apologies to Billy Joel...

Well, it's Zoofights number five, down at Gezora's
The regular crowd shambles in
There's a huge snapping turtle right next to me
Making love to his chronic and stim
He says “gently caress YOU AND PLAY ME A MELODY
AND DON'T loving ASK HOW IT GOES
JUST GIVE IT A BEAT THAT'LL VIBRATE MY SEAT
WHILE I PUT THIS HERE poo poo UP MY NOSE.”

La la la, di da da
La la, di da da da da

Chorus:
Sing us a song down at Gezora's
Where everyone comes to get tight
'Cause there's nothing like having a melody
While you bet on the upcoming fight.

The gargantuan squid, he's a friend of mine
He serves up our drinks semi-free
And it's always so droll when he swallows you whole
And there's nowhere that he'd rather be.
He shouts “GEZORA HUNGERS FOR HUMAN-FLESH.
PREFERABLY JAPANESE.”
In that way that he has that's so welcoming
as he passes around the miced teas.

Chorus

And the Doctor is looking for Lesko
While his former self quickly gets pissed
They've said something about a catastrophe
But we're all waiting 'round for the twist.
There's a cute little girl with a crocodile!
There's a jukebox who's always around!
There's a nazi-accordion-gorillionaire
Who's been throwing his money around!

Chorus

slower
There's a big gaping hole back behind the bar
About ten cubic meters in size
And the little nine guy does his level best
But he can't make a slurm without eyes.
And how can we keep up our reveling
While we're missing His manifold charms
Like the way he pretends to shine beer glasses
With four of his multiple arms

rising crescendo
“No it isn't Zoofights without Gezora!'
We all seem to cry out as one
Sure he threatens at times to devour us
But we're pretty sure it's in good fun
And we've got to have someone to mix for us
The infinite poisons we crave
Gezora, if you love us, come back to us
Shamble out of your pyramid-grave.
