Bearsharktopus v. Bearotaur

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.

plus, see? the hundred aker wood. shit comes around.

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

and there you go

"taur" refers to a bull

Either your joking or your knowledge of mythological creatures is sorely lacking.

argh, you're.

lol @ all this.

wow btwn jj and hi dere fence-sitting on the green/brown banana question and now pash lolling @ this, i'm beginning to think that perhaps ILX mods aren't really in touch with the vital issues for the ilxor on the street.

uh.

Don't get this - the Minotaur was half bull, not half horse, so surely sarahel's point stands?

Yeah but centaurs...

Centaurs aren't real, tho

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

Unless it is Mr. Bear O'Taur, perhaps.

fucking blame it on the irish, i see what's happening here

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.

The 'o' represents their fondness for onion rings.

'o' is the face you pull just before he pulls your face off

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.

how a fight would go.

AWESOME

also, accurate

self-mutilatipon? that's what your guy's gonna win with?

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.

atipon- a suffix meaning furry fin or tentacle

atampon - a suffix referring to a popular feminine hygience product

poor bearotaur!

:D

i mean it's nonsense, obviously, but bravo anyway

Philip you have taken this thread to a new level! Awesome!

Also - BEARSHARKTOPUS FTW!!!!!!!!

god bless you you fantastic man

would buy in tshirt form. not kidding.

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

aw, shucks. thanks folks!

BTW I stole 'where your mace at? HAW HAW HAW!' from the new yorker caption contest.

holy shit phil :DDDDDDD (!)

also want "where your mace at?" shirt

is really what would happen tho

bearotaur covering his eyes in the 1st philip drawing is the best part tho

I agree

also it doesn't look like bearshartopus is that hurt. slightly annoyed is what I get from that picture.

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!

he's been flanked but the superior speed of bearotaur. if he spins too quickly he falls over, because he is a rubbish monster

also it doesn't look like bearshartopus is that hurt. slightly annoyed is what I get from that picture.

jeez the shark face isn't the most expressive of canvases fyi

it's bearsharktopus, not bearshartopus!

also it doesn't look like bearshartopus is that hurt.

please please tell me this was intentional and not a typo, becuase +1 to you if so

xpost

but doesn't bearsharktopus have sharkspeed sandals that give him combat advantage when flanked?
