***Worlds Hardest Creature IX: Group A***

[Bold Seagull]

The competition is all about being hard. For me, the quintessential test of the competition is would the creature have a go at another knowing it was disadvantaged, or potentially unlikely to win. Much to some people's annoyance, the Honey Badger does well because it will be aggressive toward a animal that could likely kill it, a lion for example.

Venom and the spread of disease is not hard for me, not unless the creature uses it fearlessly and without worrying about it's own safety. To be fair, a mosquito has no idea it is hard as all it does is spread something it has absolutely no control over - it should go out here.

The Rhino is one grumpy, irritable son of a bitch. Unpredictable, tough and hard, it appears to just love to have a fight. It is fully tooled up and big, so not a lot can live with it, but even so, it doesn't give a shit, it will attempt to kill anything if it looks at them the wrong way.

The BWS in action:

These buggers do not back down.

Why would anyone in their right mind vote for a creature that would have serious trouble getting out of a bath?

 

[Yoda]

That's assuming that it can bite through the hide of a grizzly. Nasty little ******* for sure but only if you are thin skinned! GWS for me.

It must be pretty think skinned to stop these buggers

I reckon a Grizzly, if attacked by a GWS, would grab it by the jaws, rip em apart and then shit in it's throat.

[Simster]

I think SMASHING an observation cage to bits qualifies as HARD. #TeamGWS

Wonderful footage that should cement a passage into the knockout stages for this fearsome predator.

I'm currently undecided with this group. I'm a big fan of the mantis shrimp but am confident it'll get enough votes to progress to the knock outs. So, I'm thinking about voting for one of the beasts that are fighting for third spot. I've got it don to the cape buffalo and the brazilian wandering spider. I have a soft spot for the C.B as its a herbivore, non hunter who is willing to turn the tables on its attacker and ambush attack it. Plus it's ****ing strong. But then there is the spider which packs a deadly arsenal nd is also highly aggressive. I'm torn.

 

[Badger]

I was going to go for the Mantis Shrimp, but I quite like the look of this Brazilian Wandering Spider. I'm surprised it hasn't got more votes, perhaps because it's been drawn on the OUTSIDE lane.

Sorry but I can't take any creature seriously that I can trend on!

 

[The Wookiee]

Don't think you would get the chance to tread on it, it would already of attacked you and will repeatedly do so !

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I'm TEAM SHRIMP in this group.

I always panic in the early stages when more BULKY contestants are in that people will MISUNDERSTAND what HARDNESS is and will plump for a CHUNKY beast instead of appreciating what a nasty little bugger the Shrimp is.

I am in the bear camp. Given a choice if you are in the woods would you rather meet a bear or a fish or a spider.

You would see the bear coming, doubt you would see of hear the spider until its too late, silent and deadly !

 

[Yoda]

Good luck with that, this thing is quicker at attacking than a Praying Mantis.

 

[The Brighton Bear]

I felt obliged to vote for the bear.

I feel the fish is at a unfair advantage in the woods. Would feel like a fish out of water

 

[Bold Seagull]

From the Group B thread, the Bear, seriously hard right.....

Not sure you can recover in this competition from a vid like this...

 

[MattBackHome]

I'm genuinely torn

 

[MantisShrimpMan4eva]

i sensed a disturbance in my tentacles and thought 'i better check north stand chat'. i cant believe you badger people are still discussing this as you should have been banned. god.

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

For this group I voted GWS because I think that part of being hard is having people know you are hard. EVERYONE knows the GWS is hard and is not to be messed with. The others you can debate either way. But the GWS you KNOW is hard.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Only one option for me, because of the weapons system if nothing else.
