So how is this going to work? Steampunk? How will we get Bears with Gold Shotguns? Or Killer Whales with Cave Troll appendages? Snakes on a Brain? Come on man, you've go big shoes to fill this season!

Really, if this takes place before the other ZOOFIGHTS occured, I don't see a possibility of ANY return guests. Like the... *glances around nevously* Owlmen.. Maybe we're better off without returning guests...

I remember the first zoofights, and it was loving awesome. Missed the second, and am now really excited for this!

I wasn't around for the first, but remember the first being epic. I actually missed almost the entirety of the ending, which I suppose I shouldn't be too bummed about, hearing others' opinions of it. I don't even know what happened with the whole Necro Goat / Swan Mass thing. The last thing I remember is the Audience, along with Captain Jack Sasquach and the Canadian Shotgun-Wield Bear Whose Name I Forget teaming up to fight them. Also Owlmen.

Unfortunately I lost my Plat in the last great "Everyone who posts in this thread gets Banned for no reason" thread, but I'm pretty sure you have my gmail if you need a hand for anything, Major.

There once was a Crab from Japan,
Whos claws could disembowl a man.
Said he to his Foe,
"Let's give them a show!
As only two Genteelmen can!"

Obviously, my vote is for our Carapaced Companion. Reanimammut is nothing more than a walking hunk of shag waiting to be snipped to bits. His offensive odor will undoubtedly prompt our Good Fellow to action, resulting in a handy win!

A Dissertation on Motiv.

A large, land-based Herd Pachiderm has found itself incased in ice, it's conciousness as frozen as it's bowels. Then, from the black nether, a spark of light as his being is torn back into our world. In what seems to him to be the blink of an eye, he has lost the entirety of his family, his very race. He finds himself in a climate poorly replicating his own. His is lost, alone, and rather suprised to find that his entire body is a rotting pile of flesh besieged by insects. To borrow a phrase from Jaccubin, His Life Sucks. The holes in his body and mind filled with Metal and Black Magic, we find ourselves with a most distasteful creature: An Emolephant. Unmotivated, soggy, and ultimately impotent.

Elswhile, an ancient specimine lurks beneath the sea. While his foe has been on ice, this dapper genteelman has spent his time studying bushido and cultivating a fine collection of literature. One fine morning, he is hauled to the bright surface of his universe to find his homeland on the cusp of cultural enlightenment. This honorable deep-sea samurai finds himself quite at home amonge the Aristocracy, where a well-groomed and disciplened fellow does not want for anything. Generously endowed with the finest of techonlogical wonders this day and age has to offer, and the snappiest apparel to boot, Steamcrab is more than ready to settle accounts with this savage who would seek to upset a gentleman's tea time!

Pachyderms trump echinoderms any day of the week. Let's break it down, shall we? Whatever state of decomposition Reanimut happens to be in, he's still massive on a scale previously forgotten by the non-silly-hatted peoples of the world. Secondarily, he's basically one giant blunt object. Good mister Crab-san is, because of his chitinous construction, very brittle. This may be offset by the steel plate that has replaced a good portion of his carapace, but not enough to resist Reanimut's multi-ton avalanche decaying flesh.

Brittle? Have you ever been hit in the face with an Alaskan King Crab leg at my friends wedding that I was the best man at by his friend that was jealouse that he wasn't the best man? That poo poo is HARD and it HURTS.

And it scars and it has some poo poo in it that makes you itch if it breaks the skin goddamn.

Petrification occurs when the organic compounds are replaced with minerals. Very unlikely to occer while frozen in ice. Also, not to be confused with Steamcrab "replacing" Reanimammut's frontal lobe with a piston-driven metal claw.

Be wary of the rebuild period, men. That's when the victor plays God and takes the spoils from the carcass of his beaten foe. Watch out for Steamcrab coming back with some undead bits attached. I wouldn't be surprised to see that vodka tank utilized as a flamethrower or something of the like.

Beware the rebuilding... because once they've been built up to a point, they don't need us anymore.

This needs to be in the OP, lest we grow complacent and get caught unawares. Not all of our contestants are happy at having been... improved.

Steamcrab would be well advised to attach the tusks to his frontal armor. Think about it. Bigger, heavier foes getting in close and crushing him is clearly a weakness. The tusks will really slow down the more grapple-y fighters and allow Steamcrab to bring his ferocious weapons into play at the perfect range. Woo!

The sodden fur/skin would also make great fire protection were it not dripping with vodka.

I don't know where the idea of the victor taking parts of the vanquished came from, last season they simply got improvments in between rounds.

Anyways, if it does come down to a fight (which is undoubtedly will, when the tapirs insist that they're more badass than the Manatee, and the knowing veteran takes offence and procedes to learn those young punks a thing or two), the hardened resolve of the Manatee with rise above the spastic, uncoordinated Tapogres.

There is a limit to the amount of skull-crushing bad-assery present in a single hardened space veteran. With only three shots in that harpoon gun, we're looking at, in a best case scenario, 3 on 1 in close quarters. You can only slice up a Tapogre so much while his two brothers (clones?) are bashing you around with clubs. ZOOFIGHTS is hardly a simple numbers game, but I think the outcome has definitely shifted.

Changing my vote from Manatee to Tapogres.

I'd like to hear what Mr. Cutting has to say. And for that matter, are any of the contestants particularly American? I can't wait to get the Butcher on a patriotic rant about how every other nationality is inferior and contributing to the stagnation of ZOOFIGHTS.

There is indeed an American in this tournament, but I'll keep quiet about him for now. This Manatee fellow is a warrior though, even if a British warrior - I can see it in his one eye. He's seen the worst there is, and whatever Swerengen says, no number of tapirs can measure up to that.

come on you defeatists, don't abandon your hero just because the odds are against him. Show some backbone. Voting ends in 18 hours.

You've seen it on the street, Bill. A small band of savages can make quick work of even the stoutest warrior. It's an offensive game, and even as you carve one of 'em up, there's two, three, hell, maybe even five others already on you! They're going to use those numbers, it's all they've got.

Would you look at the size of that chainflipper? It's downright PIDDLEY! This Tapogres know how to barroom brawl, and brawling that will end this fight.

Manatee has no periferal vision with that eyepatch, so all it takes is a few Taps to distract him while the other make short work of hsi legs, which, as has been pointed out, are suited for vaulting through the moon's lighter gravity! He's going to be one slow-moving target, and once his ammo is spent, that tiny chainflipper's hardly going to matter when he's on his back with at LEAST three healthy (if a bit drunk) Tapogres turning him into Manatee Porridge!

It only took two Snowspeeders to take down an AT-AT at Hoth, people. One to distract, and one to get him off his legs. Even if the bait bites the bullet, it's a win for the Tapogres.

Great Scott! Never in my years of research have I even dreamed of such monstrosity being braught to bear against my fellow humans! The implifications of this creature's existance opens doors that mere man was not meant to enter!

A comprehensive study on pack animals, hive insects and socio-economics would show that mob of people kidnapped in the dark of night, paired up with an ill-tempered, confused, chained, giant badger would have very little hope of any sort of coordinated assault! Indeed, Marty--erm, fellow gentlemen, They would be hard pressed to even stand as a team, what with their feral ward's tendancies to turn on his captors!

Surely, this will boil down to a simple slugfest between the two scientifically augmented contenders, and while an angry badger can prove most harmful to you or I, your common indian rhinocerous has skin much thicker than anything a badger owuld be likely to encounter in the wild! Coupled that with the badger's tendancy to make all sorts of spastic movements which give the tiger-fisted fellow a much better time of tracking it, their visual accuity being based on movement, the idea of every moving part of moving part of the Rhinocerous being made into a vicious weapon, be it horned, toothed or robotic, and I'd say you've got a close, but not inevitable outcome.
