Anyone voting in this competition really does need to realise what HARD means. In 2007, thousands of tardigrades were attached to a satellite and blasted into space. After the satellite had returned to Earth, scientists examined them and found that many of them had survived. Some of the females had even laid eggs in space, and the newly-hatched young were healthy.
They have been discovered 5546m (18,196ft) up a mountain in the Himalayas, in Japanese hot springs, at the bottom of the ocean and in Antarctica. They can withstand huge amounts of radiation, being heated to 150 °C, and being frozen almost to absolute zero. Earlier this year, scientists successfully revived a tardigrade that had been frozen solid for more than three decades—a new record for this durable species.
Tardigrades are an ancient species that diverged from ancestral animals back in the pre-Cambrian period (600 million years ago). One of the most resilient tardigrade species on the planet is Ramazzottius Varieornatus.
GO TEAM RAMAZZ!!!

In WHC Top Trumps it would clearly beat any competitor for HARDINESS. The trouble is, it falls down in all the other categories. It's not going to pick a fight with anyone is it?
Definitely human, can kill all of these other animals just with the tools he has invented with his extraordinary brain. End of this group, End of tournament!
It doesn't need to. It's THAT hard.
In a competition looking for ALL ROUND hardness, I think it does.
It's the Worlds HARDEST Creature Competition, if you have some other strange ideas then keep them to yourself.
Do they co-habitate with sharks though? The seahorse does
