Team shrimp.

Wolverine would rip our faces off if we cornered one,the shrimp,were we to find ourselves in the sea would give us a mere sting,perhaps a bruise then we would take it home and cook it.

It might be time to start looking up those second accounts....

Are people really still voting based on size

Exactly. The Shrimp has the hardest punch in the world - he's the very definition of hard

The shrimp is a relative small creator as is the wolverine in relation to their respective environments?

Team Mantis Shrimp for me. The Oatmeal explains why.

Why the Mantis Shrimp is my new favourite animal

I opened this thread to see if anyone had posted the oatmeal link. Good work

Surely it's all relative though.
Imagine if the shrimp was the same size as the wolverine, with its powers multiplied in keeping with its size.
Such a beast that sees in infra red, ultra violet and can kill other animals with a force field that doesn't even have to touch its prey
which is so powerful it creates light! ....magical and terrifying in equal measure.

But it's not. We could imagine any creature being different to what it is to make it harder. Imagine a gerbil, skilled in martial arts and armed with a nuclear warhead.

Can we have a rule check please.
Is this based on how hard the creature is compared to a human or in its relative surroundings?

The mantis shrimp and all its powers actually exist.
I've yet to see David Attenborough do a programme on Ninja nuclear gerbils.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I wavered from one to the other, read all the relevant literature, went away, came back, finally voted wolverine

and made it 65-65

Sorry

You introduced imagining something was different to what it is.

So do you know the answer to the question?
Is this poll based on how hard the creature is compared to its relative size and surroundings or how much damage it could do to a human?
I was replying to the post that said what they (a human) would do If they were cornered my either creature.

Another way to look at things is the natural predators of each,in the case of a shrimp it may be an octopus or a tiger or bear in the case of the wolverine...

Agreed,
I can't imagine why the ninja nuclear gerbil never made the shortlist, maybe next year eh....

It's pound for pound hardness, like boxing. What it can do compared to a human is irrelevant, what the two would do against each other (unless similarly sized or they actually co-exist in the same habitat) is also not important. Pound for pound is what we're after. People's definition of hardness varies but it should consider things such as aggression, attitude and ability to give and take a beating. Size in and of itself is not important.

Very interesting to note that a certain well known mod has voted for the prawn........

 

[SeagullofMalaysia]

...and my vote propels the Wolverine back into the lead. 70-69
