Dragon. Yes, at 2014 scientists will discover immortal dragons thriving within the Earth with all cool shit like fire breath and invincible scales. What, you'd thought economy was the real reason the world fell into chaos?

Okay I'm going to go with the poison dart frog as well. It eats insects so hopefully it can find that crazy tardigarde even if its technically an animal, and its poison is extremely deadly against anything else.

Yeah, I'm happy with my elephant stomping on dart frogs and aardvarks.

Either that, or my giant tortoise dozing for 250 years.

Bro, I got bad news about your expensive elephant that just stomped on my cheap-ass poison dart frog. Round 2 starts and you'll have to supply another elephant. I hope you're not planning on paying for them with the tournament winnings ha!

What is the terrain? Is there trees and stuff? Is it like in super smash brothers on the pokemon stage where it changes elements? This is crucial information for picking the ultimate animal.

Pretty sure dying from poison after the frog got stomped still means the elephant wins. Gladiators can 'win' bouts then die of their injuries.

I'm not sure if anything could take down a bull elephant before getting destroyed (on land). I'll go with the White/Siberian Tiger. Can take down Asian bull elephants and possibly an African one if hungry enough.

You missed the part about how they can survive upwards of 120 years without food and water. All it has to do is take a nap.

Gonna go with a Polar Bear for the land competition as they are quite intelligent, large and feel like they could stand up to a diverse set of opponents. They're cautious and if needed will injure their prey and return later to finish the job. My biggest fear seems to be elephants or hippos imo which I thought about as well.

Aquatic competition im going to have to go with a killer whale. Thought about sharks and the giant squid initially, but the size and aggression of the killer whale trumps it for sure.

Does the animal still have to exist or do we have time machines in 2015? If so I'm obviously going to choose a T-Rex. Hey there baboon! stomp. Sup mr. Lion! stomp. Your trunk tastes fantastic mr Elephant!

Pretty sure there were a couple larger dinosaurs that were higher up on the food chain than the T-Rex.

I'm going to have to go with a polar bear. Thing is so damn deadly that anything that it can reach will probably be dead in minutes, it isn't afraid of anything, will eat anything, and anything that can get away from it (like a bird) probably won't be a threat.

Honorable mentions: Komodo Dragon, Saltwater Croc, African Elephant, Hippo.

Which animal do you choose to fight for you, and why? Make sure to also explain how your animal is gonna totally shit on whatever other animals the other contestants will choose.


in the non-tardigrade meta (surely someone else will risk like anteater to get that fucker dead, or a human to I dunno, light a fire or some shit to get the 1 mm fucker) I'd go with some bear.

and ezpz got the shit part covered, for everyone who has watched grizzly man

No I explicitly did not

They can only go to sleep like that if they dry out slowly
If you dry them out quickly they die

Does immortal jelly fish fight ? If not then I'll choose the deep sea giant squid, since they are the closest to a kraken, and everyone knows kraken is badass.

Btw everyone who has ever watched "The most Xtreme" on animal planet will own this haha.

A motherfucking housecat.
They dominate humans easily, even with all our tools and weapons. When I look in my cat's eyes, all I see is amused contempt, yet I mindlessly continue to feed her, pet her, and turn on the TV when she asks. There has to be a reason for such confidence, charisma and commanding aura. Probably some sort of mass destruction weapon hidden somewhere in their fur.

Btw, did you notice that when you take a picture of a cat by night, if they noticed you, they throw lasers at you with their eyes, in an attempt to destroy your camera and all the evidence of their night-time evil deeds?

Guys let's balance this shit I have a proposed rule:
Based on your animal's size is how many you get so for example only 1 elephant but if you choose hyena you get 3-5
