NSC, are you ready? You better be because this is semi final time. Two beasts stand one win away from the Animal Dome. Two wins away from lifting the Animal Bowl. And, my word, we have two magnificent beasts for you. Polar opposites. Large against small. Evolutionary perfection against an insane but beautiful evolutionary aberration. Apex predator against a crazed cannibalistic kill anything maniac.
You must think carefully before you vote, there is too much on the line to just toss your vote away. This is serious shit. For one creature there will be ecstasy. For the other despair.
48 hours, one vote, two beasts, one winner.
So, lets at it.
The Combatants:
Grasshopper Mouse

Road to the semifinals:
Quarter final: Beat Shrew 69 - 28
2nd round: Beat Siberian Tiger 66 - 60
Group C: 1st (28 votes)
Grasshopper Mouse is looking to make his first appearance in the final. He's been an ever present in the knock out rounds since debuting in the tournament several years ago but has yet to take the final step (no pun intended...). It's surely going to happen sooner or later because this little fella is packing a huge package of WHC delights. First up he defends a huge territory(relative to his size) of 28 acres. He does this in a two fold manor. Firstly he stands on his hind legs and howls like a wolf. Yep, you read that right. A tiny mouse hols like a wolf. That's the warning siren. If you ignore it, you're basically ****ed. The GM means business and will go to town on you when he gets you. He will go bat shit crazy on any intruders and destroy them. He won't just kill them, he'll eat them. Even if you're a fellow GM. You encroach on his territory you get eaten. End of.
Anything else? Oh yeah, he loves taking on, killing and then eating poisonous scorpions, snakes and toxic centipedes. Unlike other competitors who are immune to various poisons the GM can be killed by the centipedes toxins...but still kills and eats him.
Is the GM heading for the final? It's in your hands.

Salt Water Crocodile

Road to the semi finals:
Quarter final: Beat Alligator Snapping Turtle 48 - 42
2nd round: Beat Malayan Sun Bear 36 - 27
Group D: 1st (28 votes)
When it comes to the WHC there is probably no more illustrious competitor than the Salt Water Crocodile. He is a five times finalist, a double winner (back to back titles) and the reigning champion. He has not lost since 2014. He is looking to become the first beast to make three consecutive finals. But with formerly unbeaten legend Polar Bear being dumped out in the quarter finals and facing a competitor who has consistently secured more votes in each knock out round than himself the SWC knows he will be in one hell of a fight if he is to achieve the dream.
Luckily, the SWC is one hard *******. What's he got going for him you might wonder. Pretty much everything. He is an armour plated killing machine, possessing the most powerful bite of any animal anywhere in the world. He has his own world recognised killing move - the death roll. If you take the fight to him and succeed in tearing off a limb or his tail it is of no consequence to him. He can survive and indeed thrive without it/them. He can kill on land, in fresh water or in salt water. He can be incredibly quick and agile. He is happy to swim out deep into the ocean and ruck with sharks. Can be incredibly aggressive.
Does he have what it takes to make the WHC X final? It's in your hands...
