Yeah... I made one :( Also, THE HUNT!!!

Ok, I went and made the stinking blog! I began thinking of how it could offer some behinds the scenes stuff for the fites and realized how useful it could really be. I will probably post stuff besides fite backgrounds too, maybe do a character profile thing like the others are doing and maybe make some posts to complain about my ridiculous Statistics professor.

So, right now in the SRDL, a bunch of men are hunting a group of creatures from the 80s on Gilligan's Planet. Here I'll explain some stuff I left out and how/why I chose these creatures.

Planet: Gilligan's Planet
I chose this place as our locale for the hunt partly as a joke, because the tv show was a joke itself. Rather than going to some spooky vague planet, we are going to a place that changed with each episode. It was also the most 80s locale I could find while still having all the necessities of a good hunting range. I considered saying it was a pet project of JRM, or that Gilligan and them have left already, but I'll leave that for the others to choose if the crew of the Minnow is still there in space for some reason.

Hocus Chimaera
The small game is mostly just video game monsters since they have the most weak mobs that could be picked off in a traditional hunting way. Dragon Warrior is an 80s game and I realized we needed some birds, so I picked the ones with magic spells!

Sharkticon
Because Optimus suggested it. Still don't know too much about them, but they seem like good things to kill. Wish they were aquatic though, so we could have more than a giant shark in the ocean.

Awful Green Things from Outer Space
Because we never mention straight up 80s board games around here!  They are simple and easy to kill, so they are perfect small game material, much like...

Uggs
Weird Q*Bert enemies who I threw in for the weaker guys who can't handle giant monsters.

Lynel
This is supposed to be the closest to a straight up duel or swordfight we can get on this hunt. Plus, it's like the most badass Zelda 1 enemy that wouldn't fall under big game.

Spirit Naga
Looking through Final Fantasy 1's bestiary makes you think what the big FF RPers might do in the future. Goops and Alex are all about Final Fantasy RPing, so I didn't want to take their monsters from them. Spirit Naga seemed like a safe bet. Before I read their bio on a wiki, I was hoping to make them turn immaterial if alerted to the presence of hunters. Sadly, Spirit Naga ain't that cool :(

Warlock
Since it was a good guy in Blackstar and the protagonist's steed, I didn't want to force us to kill it. I thought Erebus, as the bachelor, should have a unique experience on the hunt. I thought of giving him the Grue, but the possibility of an awesome dragon steed is much cooler I think. Erebus riding into a battle on it would be muoy epic.

Black widow Shark
I was going to have just one Thundercats monster, but I couldn't pick between the spider and this shark. I thought they were both unique enough for inclusion, and the shark has arms! Arms, people! It will grab you! I wish Widow Maker could have come. An awesome submarine fight would have ensued. Too bad it is a BACHELOR Party... Maybe if people like it enough I'll organize a hunt near the end of the year. Giligan's Planet: The Bar's Hunting Range!

Grue

I wasn't even thinking of having this one. It was supposed to be a threat to make trekking through caves scarier and with more tension, but the robot bros. are kind of owning it. I was going to explain it was brought in a crate no one had opened until they were in the cave, but that didn't make much sense, so it became a native creature. I also considered having multiple Grues waiting around to kill people, but it never got across so whatevs.

Spidera
A big ol' Spider, what else can I say? Classic spiderweb action! Another Thundercats villain because Thundercats knew how to make cool monsters. The new show looks good too. There was this rabbit/scarecrow-like guy on it that just made me scream "I WISH I COULD RP HIM!!!" but I RP too many characters already! Might need to send some off to "the farm" some day, or just have a happy ending for them.

Asteroid Bird Alien
I don't even understand this thing, but Optimus mentioned it, so I made it so! Plus, a robot like animal always means a more resilient prey. Go get 'em Optimus!

Dragonflyer
The last one added, mainly because there aren't many good images of Sectaur things and I wanted some decent images of the prey. I like that it is a dragon bug though. We avoided hunting dragons for a certain someone's sake (RIP Draco) and the only one at risk is supposed to be tamed.

Sslither
Because Inhumanoids lend themselves to being killed by the bargoers. Plus, I wanted to see Pech take down a giant snake :3

Rancor
The FIRST one to come to mind when I came up with this. Killing a Rancor might as well be a BARmitzvah for any good bargoer into being a rugged man. Yes, I just made that pun! The Rancor is classic "big killer monster" and in Force Unleashed you can really wail on them with a freaking LIGHTSABER!!

So yeah, there is my long and unnecessary explanation for all of that. Hope it was at least a bit interesting. I'll probably give a post on the background for our tapogres in the Tapogre Fite coming up, and make some general RP comments soon. So there. It's done. I BLOGGED!!! I feel so dirty...
