plus bearsharktopus is composed of multiple predatory creatures, so it would have a greater genetic need and capacity for hunting and killing, as opposed to the bearse, which is part horse, which is a grazing animal.

i mean, maybe if it was squirrelsharktopus and not bearsharktopus, then the bear-horse creature would stand a chance ...
― sarahel, Thursday, 1 July 2010 08:31 (thirteen years ago) link
so many wrong thoughts. the reticence and nobility of the horse give the bearseotaursesses an advantage over the trembly, blood-mad octobearoshark, who can really only comprehend the world in terms of the fleshy rended bits that will (hopefully) soon hang limp from its trembly shark lips. one might suppose that the brain of the wily, jar-negotiating octopus would grant similar adbvantage to the monstrosity, but no, because it's really only the tentacles, and tentacles are not notably the most intelligent part, being just tentacles.
plus bearotaur has elegance of design, very desirable quality. bearsharktopus is questionable, result of last minute weed inspiration, subject to harsh crit.
sqirrelsharktopus would be really funny in calamari. because of squirrel head which would look at you menacingly as you tried to eat it. terrifying in packs though.

i like how the creature smart enough to get a weapon is the one assumed to be dumb enough to fight its opponent in the only conceivable environment that would be a disadvantage

Don't get this - the Minotaur was half bull, not half horse, so surely sarahel's point stands?
― emil.y, Thursday, 1 July 2010 11:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah but centaurs...

Centaurs aren't real, tho

But it doesn't follow the same word creation rule! It would be BEARTAUR.

fucking blame it on the irish, i see what's happening here
― ,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Thursday, 1 July 2010 11:58 (thirteen years ago) link
So, even if the etymology of bearotaur is from centaur rather than Minotaur (which I doubt very much, from the appended 'o'), the name STILL means 'bear-bull', 'centaur' most likely meaning 'bull-slayer'. So the bearotaur proves himself even weaker, having had to have the 'slayer' part of his name removed... BECAUSE HE IS A WUSS.
― emil.y, Thursday, 1 July 2010 12:02 (thirteen years ago) link
The 'o' represents their fondness for onion rings.
― Adge Cutler & the Özils (NickB), Thursday, 1 July 2010 12:06 (thirteen years ago) link
'o' is the face you pull just before he pulls your face off
― ,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Thursday, 1 July 2010 12:13 (thirteen years ago) link
you can explain your dismissal of the etymology of his name while he kicks your jaw in to space.

Ha, I just noticed the furry fin on bearsharktopus' back. He wins, based on that.

also, accurate
self-mutilatipon? that's what your guy's gonna win with?
― ,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Thursday, 1 July 2010 18:58 (thirteen years ago) link
i dunno what i just typed tbh
self mutilation - and apparently fursharkpus is eating a giant sperm.Bearotuar should have won by a wider margin if that's how things are gonna play out.

wow that picture raises a terrifying thought - what if bearsharktopus and bearotaur joined forces and bearsharktopus rode bearotaur into battle?

also it doesn't look like bearshartopus is that hurt. slightly annoyed is what I get from that picture.
― peacocks, Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:43 (thirteen years ago) link
xp - that is so not what would happen:
bearsharktopus would not be facing the opposite direction and would not be standing up while in the water!
― sarahel, Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:44 (thirteen years ago) link
he's been flanked but the superior speed of bearotaur. if he spins too quickly he falls over, because he is a rubbish monster
