Strangler - A four-armed ape creature with three eyes and razor-sharp teeth.

I've been reading through the "creature_arena.txt" file and can't figure out whether a strangler's bite is more effective than other species'. They have more strength, sure, but what else?

 Hungry Mungry has painted his personal training-ring in a glorious, sanguine hue upon being delivered a few pigs for dinner. The horrifying, terminal squeals keep him happy and motivated for the fight to come.

Admittedly he was hoping for something more tasty and substantial than a kobold.

 Size looks like something of a deciding factor, so far. Looking forward to a challenger that can carve up a larger opponent.

 Holy gently caress I so did not expect that to work; in arena testing Hungry Mungry could lose a fight with a pig. He fared even worse against armed, skilled opponents, though admittedly I never tried him against anything smaller than himself.

This week, on Dwarfiest Warrior: Antwoman beats Hoplite.

Gerard Butler was just a guy pretending to be a hoplite anyway. Explains the lovely spear and shield.

 I dreamed that the second round had already started and as a special exhibition match to kick things off, Hungry Mungry was pitted against a hydra. When I woke up, I tested the matchup.

It went about like that. :smith:

 Werewolves have the same shape, smell, and taste as kobolds, and are only a little bit bigger. Hungry Mungry is not afraid. Hungry Mungry is merely hungry.

 I was going to bet against Hungry Mungry but my hand slipped so I'm taking that as a sign I should be rooting for him. :unsmith:

Ah good, we're back up.

My bets have been placed.

5 grand on my fighter, Dies Horribly.

The remainder split evenly (795 Dwarfbucks each) on the remaining Goblin contestants. Pinball Wizard, Yum, Hanzo, and Elizabeth Bennet, good luck.

I have one ($1) Dwarfbuck remaining. Any ideas where I should place it? Is there someone with no remaining funds who could use a buck? ...Can I even do that?

Goblin Supremacy.

You should re-check your bet on Pinball Wizard.

Do you see Brometheus? Do you see him? Are you looking at him? Are YOU looking at HIM!? Do you see it? Do you see his poise? His grace? His skill?

That's the skill of a Bro-God baby. A Brod. Do you know what he did? Do you? That motherfucker is the Brod that brought the the Natty Light from Brolympus to you. That was him, he did that. Do you see his opponent? Do you? Are you looking at him?

He's a Strangler. Nuff' said.

Come at him bro, come at him.

:colbert:

On my first test run, Hungry Mungry incapacitated the werewolf with a bone-shattering bite to the thumb, then bit out his throat a moment later.

The other test runs all ended with Mungry in pieces. :ohdear:

 drat, SRIRACHA FARTSTORM didn't have time to let a single toot slip before he hit the ground. Oh well, that just means he'll get jolted back to consciousness when a really loud one has to come out.

Sadly, there is still no option yet to have a Bad Munki flinging poo as a weapon.

Going through the raws, it appears males of all fighter races have the [GELDABLE] tag except for kobolds and serpent men. Kobolds specifically have a comment within the [CASTE:MALE] tag which says "Undescended, not geldable" :stonk:

No. No. No no no no no.
