***Worlds Hardest Creature VII, 2014 Group C***

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Group C. Top 3 progress, 4th place has a shot at the wild card. Groups D and E will arrive tomorrow.

The Combatants:

Honey Badger

This guy needs little introduction. Small and muscular he'll attack pretty much anything if its in the mood. Poisonous snakes? no problem. Lions? no problem. Twice a beaten finalist this beast is pure box office.

Black Lugworm

First year in the comp for the black lug worm. Basic research suggests its fishing bait...not sure how long its going to last if thats its only claim to fame...

Stag Beetle

This hard armoured, vicious antlered little beast is making its debut(i think...). Lets hopeits supporters give it the backing it'll need to progress.

Jack Jumper Ant

Another debutant, the JJA has a lot going for it. These highly aggressive carnivores possess some of the strongest venom in the insect world and are willing to take on and kill wasps and insects much larger than themselves. Potentially a dark horse for the title...

Lion

It's a lion. It needs no introduction, although...The 'king of the jungle' is a regular in the WHC competition but is yet to leave a significant mark on it. Maybe this year?

Man

Always a controversial nomination. As a social being mankind has risen to the very top and created ways to control and kill the entire natural world. Left on his own though he's a feeble, useless pussy. So, shouldn't really be a contender, but wh knows?

King Cobra

The worlds longest venomous snake, this slithering beast has a fearsome reputation and enjoys dining on fellow hard sakes like the python and extremely poisonous krait.

Giant Squid

These monsters can grow up to 13metres in length. They have serrated sucker rings on their tentacles, a powerful beak and a tongue with TEETH on it.

Liger

Its a hybrid of a lion and a tiger. Need to know more?!

Dog Whelk

this is a predatory, carnivorous sea snail with an incredibly hard shell.

Man




Not HARD.

The Giant Squid is so hard that until 10 years ago, it'd only been filmed dead because people were too scared of it.

 

[TomandJerry]

I think Muhammad Ali should get an option of his own

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Having been stung by a Jack Jumper Ant I can say the pain was quite excrutiating.

We'd pour boiling hot water down their nests and the little (actually quite huge as far as ants go) buggers would come charging out of the nest despite having been doused with a liquid that would scould a human quite severely.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Gone for the ant.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Honey Badger has to progress.

An Absolute farce that people vote MAN. On the whole we are not hard in the slightest.

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

Dog Whelk

this is a predatory, carnivorous sea snail with an incredibly hard shell.

I see you're already trying to swing the competition the way of the honey badger by undermining the dog whelk by posting the wrong link. I can see through your mind games already

Haha! I'll fix that asap!

Whilst an admirer of the honeybadger, I've also been a fierce competitor of it in years past. I'm trying to be as neutral as possible this time...

This 'honeybader' - is it so hard you amputate its legs and it still becomes a WWII Fighter Ace?

 

[Bold Seagull]

VOTE JACK JUMPER ANT

A fearsome killer ant without fear. Hostile, they will take on anything. These are the very definition of hard.

 

[Husty]

Can't even SPEIL squid

 

[Husty]

Giant squid would RAPE a Honey Badger. End of.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

How? We are ****ing nuts as a species. We kill ourselves, deliberately and knowingly poison ourselves FOR FUN! Show me a honey badger drinking so much it gives itself permanent internal organ damage.
Do they jump out of planes from great heights for shits and giggles or propel themselves to faster than sound speeds just because, no.

I wouldn't go near a SINGLE Honey badger EVER.

I go quite near my girlfriend maybe 3 times a year.


Some Humans are hard but the vast vast majority aren't at all. Would you fight a snake? Na.

Not sure you're in any position to mock spelling mistakes

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I bet if you were drunk enough you would attempt to kick its face off.

.

My girlfriend?

Actually yeah. You have a point.

Honey Badger FACTS for anyone who might not be aware…

- They have been known to pick fights with, and beat, animals multiple times their size.
- They are impervious to the stings of KILLER bees
- Video evidence of a fully grown LION waking up a Honey Badger. MISTAKE. It is so pissed off at being awoken that it goes mental and chases off the supposed ‘king of the beasts’
- Known to CASTRATE humans.
- Known to CASTRATE Wildebeest. WILDEBEEST.
- A puff adder has venom that can kill up to 5 people at once. If a Honey badger gets bitten by one it will have a little lie down then wake up and EAT the puff adder.
- Knows no fear
- A tiny ball of pure aggression

The very definition of HARD.

 

[Trufflehound]

Very weak group. Winnie the Pooh got lucky with the draw there.

And yet it's still struggling to beat an ant as things stand...

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

- A puff adder has venom that can kill up to 5 people at once. If a Honey badger gets bitten by one it will have a little lie down then wake up and EAT the puff adder.

An Inland Taipan would kill a Honey Badger in short time.

 

[MattBackHome]

Man, even in old age, has been known to pick fights with bears, and survive whilst also falling off a CLIFF. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/31/man-80-fights-bear-survives

I think that raises your definition of HARD.

Even the hardest human known to humanity (Adam El Abd, obviously) posesses only a fraction of the sheer agression, fearlessness and BATSHITMENTALNESS of the Honey Badger.
