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

"taur" refers to a bull

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.

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...
― Adge Cutler & the Özils (NickB), Thursday, 1 July 2010 11:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Centaurs aren't real, tho
― ,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Thursday, 1 July 2010 11:54 (thirteen years ago) link
But it doesn't follow the same word creation rule! It would be BEARTAUR.

Unless it is Mr. Bear O'Taur, perhaps.
― emil.y, Thursday, 1 July 2010 11:56 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

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?

bearotaur covering his eyes in the 1st philip drawing is the best part tho
― good news if you wear cargo shorts (contenderizer), Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:41 (thirteen years ago) link
I agree
― peacocks, Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link
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

jeez the shark face isn't the most expressive of canvases fyi
― ,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:49 (thirteen years ago) link
it's bearsharktopus, not bearshartopus!
― sarahel, Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:50 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― BEAROTAURDED (jjjusten), Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:50 (thirteen years ago) link
but doesn't bearsharktopus have sharkspeed sandals that give him combat advantage when flanked?
― peacocks, Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:50 (thirteen years ago) link
also lets be fair, bearshartopus would not win in any fight.
― BEAROTAURDED (jjjusten), Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:51 (thirteen years ago) link
bearsharktopus can swim ffs!
