Group D: tie 3rd (15 votes)

The bullet ant,so called because it sting feels like being shot. Has a powerful bite too. Can shriek. Will sting like a maniac when its pissed off. I've not got a lot else on this little fella. He needs his champions to be vociferous. So if you are a fan of the bullet ant, make it known.

VS

Hippo

Group A: 2nd (19 votes)

This bad tempered brute lives among some of the most fearsome animals in the world and more than holds his own. A mostly herbivorous beast the Hippo has no real predators or any particular reason to fight. But fight it does. And it fights for the heck of it, the sheer thrill of the fight. Lions? Yep, it'll have a go. For no reason. Crocs? Yep, it'll ruck if it wants to. Humans? Absolutely. Passing boats? Yeah, why not pile into it? He's just a big, bad tempered unpredictable ******* that will fight and usually beat anything and everything.

Team Bullet Ant for this matchup

Hippo and Headmentalist both start with the letter H and no wonder...

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I'm all for supporting the little guy, but the hippo is properly hard

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

yeah hipppos are bloody mental. Surely the fact that they'll take on ANYTHING (and by 'anything' I include most of the deadliest animals on the planet) will see them through

Bet the bite of a bullet ant on the hippo's skin will drive it MAD to the described levels of aggresion though

Easy decision this one.

The Hippo wouldn’t even feel the bite of the tiny ant and would just step on it, game over.

As for being hard, if I saw an ant I’d just take off my shoe and **** it with it, try doing that to a Hippo.

Hippo wins.

I don't think you understand how WHC works.

Saying that, Hippo for me too.

As with many things in life, size isn't everything.

An ant-sized hippo would be NOTHING.

Can you imagine the sheer knicker-wetting fear that would be engendered by the sight and sound of a hippo-sized bullet ant screaming like a Banshee as it bears down on you to deliver the most painful sting on the planet?

This is a no-brainer.

The hippo has been undervalued for far too long in this competition. I'm backing it this year along with the turtle.

If you're stuck alone in a room with an ant or a hippo, which one will kill you?

I don't think that the STING of a Bullet ant would get thoguh the thick skin of a Hippo. Hippo all the way.

This.

You can vote for the hippo if you like, but it's not big and it's not clever.

 

[lawros left foot]

The easiest way to define hardness, imagine each contender the size of a dog(Alsation), then, which would you rather fight.

So, the winner is the Ant for me.

A boat I was in got chased by a Hippo. I couldn't believe how quick it was. I was staring out about 50 meters away where I predicted it was when it surfaced by the side of the boat and frightened the f@@k out of me. Their sheer belligerence wins it for me.

 

[beefypigeon]

Despite its size working against it in my opinion, I still think the Hippo is the harder of these two beasts. Picking a fight for no real reason at all is an impressive hardness trait in my book.
