Bo, you're sure that last snake is a garden snake?

Not to mention it's a Garter snake.

That is one ambitious and ballsy snake.

And that's just ONE of his Snaketicles in action. Imagine all 8.
Too bad the cameraman didn't pan back farther so we could see all of Snaketopus.

Re: MBDM 2012 - Round 2 - Cricket Bat vs Snaketopus vs Luck-
Hmm - this is a good round! Kudos to the creators here.
I'm thinking it's gonna be between Luck-Bill and Snaketopus. Cricket Bat is gonna get trounced. He doesn't have much going for him except those pincers and the bat. Echo-location? Yippee. He'll be able to fly around and avoid getting his butt kicked until he gets tired. Eventually he's going to land, and Snaketopus will take him out, probably after Cricket trips over his own bat thanks to Luck-Bill. The octopus's beak is made to take out shellfish, and Cricket's carapace is going to be no match for that.
That leaves Snaketopus and Luck-Bill, and I'm kind of torn. Luck-Bill could theoretically cause a knot in Snaketopus's legs or something like that. Platypi have poisonous spurs on their legs, so he is probably packing venom, and he does have those claws... But still - Snaketopus is slippery, so he'll probably be able to untie himself relatively quickly. He also has those snaketicles that dissolve flesh. Now, if he does that through contact (exudes acid through the pores in said snaketicles) as opposed to through a duct and out the end of the snaketicle, the duck is dead. Even with snaketicles tied into knots, Snaketopus could still probably manage to touch Luck-Bill. Depending on what is dissolved when, the fight could be over fairly quickly.
Okay, Snaketopus it is! *casts vote*

Excellent breakdown, Shiny, and and even better choice in monsters. Welcome to the forums!

I agree 110%. How else to explain Jessica Sanchez needing to be saved?

Simon Cowell is long but you can still offer a blindfold to Steven Tyler. I shall now flagellate myself for admitting to this knowledge. American Idol will only be cool when Norm wins (singing Everybodys Got Nipples.)Mikes wrote:I googled Jessica Sanchez and now can feel my IQ is lower.

I’m voting snaketopus here. Not much more to say that has not been said already...I’ve been away too long.
Thing is, at some point, the LBP will get careless confident in his victory, he may forget about that garden snake, creating an opportunity for Snaketopus to get the upperhand (er...tentacle)
