Beast Battle 24

2009-05-18T11:16:00.000-07:00

Summoned Beast:
Sqee'zum

Lore:
This odd beast can be summed up very easily. Stupid as a rock, but just as tough in the same respect. The Sqee'zum doesn't flee from predators, in fact it does nothing but wait out the attack with blank unphased eyes. Although plump, fluffy and vunerale in apperence the Sqee'zum's thick hide is impenetrable. Most seasoned predators leave this fuzzy tank alone, but the few that try to claim a seamingly easy meal are only left tired and frustated.

Beast Battle 23

2009-04-01T16:09:00.000-07:00

Summoned Beast:
Vorkel

Lore:
A voracious hunter the Vorkel stops at nothing in order to claim its next meal. It pounces on prey from long distances with its large muscular legs. The Vorkel is all mouth and clamps down on its victims with large saber teeth while its exposed first stomach rips flesh with razor shredders. The Vorkel’s large specialized eyes are able to hone in on fast moving targets and are protected by large muscle flaps when in close contact.

Beast Battle 22

2009-03-20T08:54:00.000-07:00

Summond Beast:
Burg'Trop

Lore:
The Burg’Trop is a lethargic blobby creature. It sits in cavern floors waiting for the dung of other animals to fall into its gaping lower jaw. Its teeth move independently of each other to push material back into its throat. Once the dung is processed and ready to be passed the Burg’Trop unrolls its tail and pushes out long coated crystallized slivers that harden after a few hours. These slivers are harvested and used as arrowheads and decorations such as earrings by some of the sentient beings of the region.

Beast Battle 21

2009-02-20T13:46:00.000-08:00

Summoned Beast:
Truslan

Lore:
A scavenger of dark ocean depths, the Truslan is an opportunist. While gliding around leagues below the ocean surface via propelling tentacles, it picks edible material out of the water. If it is lucky, the Truslan will come across a carcass that it can rip into with its muscular claw. Its unique elongated fingers can scrape meat from hard to reach areas where other scavengers often ignore. It has large bulb eyes that are always on the look out for larger predators, and at the first sign of trouble it can bolt using its side flaps.

Beast Battle 20

2009-02-06T09:12:00.000-08:00

Summoned Beast:
Kilfaze

Lore:
The Kilfaze is a master fisher that lurks in the river beds of the southeast regions of the realm. Its specialized head stays submerged under the fresh water with its tri-jaw open and ready to snap shut. Small sensors on its upper lip detect the tiniest of vibrations. Unsuspecting fish are suddenly thrashed into darkness as the Kilfaze’s needle gullet shreds them into oblivion. The creature's hind poison tendrils can unfurl into multiple supports when enduring any lengthy travel but when hunting along the river bed it prefers a tri-pedal positioning. This allows the Kilfaze to guard his back with poison tips up while its head is submerged.

Beast Battle 19

2009-01-09T10:31:00.000-08:00

Summoned Beast:
Hook Bug

Lore:
The Corpus Callosum Realm is home to many different insects but none are as plentiful as the subterranean dwelling Hook Bug. Underground caves and tubes run throughout the land and you can be sure to find these tiny insects inhabiting these areas. Because of the insect’s unusually long life span, Hook Bugs are able to migrate each year through the under ground mazes back to their spawning ground in the Cave Spire region. This annual ritual is a feeding frenzy for its natural predators when billions of the insects arrive from all stretches of the world. It can glide long distances and grab onto the porous walls with its hook tipped legs yet is still no match for the lightning quick grasp of the local Frahkis inhabitants.

Beast Battle 18

2009-01-06T06:52:00.000-08:00

Summoned Beast:

Dik'lis

Lore:

The Dik'lis is a fragile invertebrate hailing from the Hathnor Swamps. Its wings are frail and fall off. As it flounders on the ground it has the ability to create a regenerative cocoon and soar once again but only if the temperature is right and predators don’t get to it first.

It's a Tie!

Summoned Beast:
Fathmador

Lore:
Swimming among the giants reeds off the coast of the Hathnor Swamps the Fathmador is a sleek predator. Working in small pods the aquatic beasts are able to take down much larger prey. With stealthy precision Fathmadors bolt from the camouflaged cover of the reeds and attack unsuspecting targets. With the blood of victory rushing through their gills and a full stomach, the Fathmadors recede into the shadows and lay in wait for their next unfortunate victim.

Beast Battle 16

2008-12-12T07:30:00.000-08:00

Summoner Red Won

Summoned Beast:
The Talpidae

Lore:
Living in the outskirts of the Southern Jungles lays the Talpidae. This unusual creature is one of the few known herbivores in the Corpus Callosum realm, and its diet mostly consists of the various fruits and berries that are readily available only near the cliffs of the Filluimian Sea, which separates the Southern Jungles and the Frost Reaches. Since most of the jungle creatures are nocturnal by nature, the Talpidae is also one of the few diurnal beings commonly found in the region. It has impeccable hearing, and its sense of smell is amazingly acute, as the Talpidae can pickup scents from at least a mile away. When threatened or done foraging for food, the creature will quickly burrow deep into the soft earth and can lie there dormant for several days without food or water.

Beast Battle 15

2008-12-08T09:14:00.000-08:00

Summoner Red Won

Summoned Beast:
Grah’Thor

Lore:
A veteran of the 3 Tribes War which ripped the territorial divides into new borders so many years ago, the Grah’Thor are a fierce warrior race. Bred for battle on the rugged Outback Region this centaur-like creature has four natural armor plates that protect its face and two that shield its shoulders. Its beefy arms on its upright torso have hoofs that are used with its horse-like rear to charge its enemies. When it comes to grasping objects the Grah’Thor has a small set of two fingered hands and arms that grow out of its abdomen. Its large mouth can devour smaller creatures whole. The length of the Grah’Thor’s beard is a symbol of strength and rank within the tribe. When out numbered the Grah’Thor often emits the traditional and thunderous battle cry of “Oh’moe” to build strength within it.

Beast Battle 14

The poll for this battle was bugged and allowed people to vote multiple times. In fairness this weeks battle is a draw.

Summoned Beast:
Necroider

Lore:
A foul being with many legs that rises from the grave to feed off the nutrients of corpses with its long spear-tipped tongue. Born in the pits of the underworld in ancient times, the Necroider is an extremely intelligent being and possesses a fear-inducing gaze which causes madness to all who look upon its eyes.

Summoned Beast:
Frahkis

Lore:
Found in the Cave Spires region is a creature that spends most of its time in the dark. The Frahkis is a small quadruped that is very efficient at climbing the walls and fixtures inside the deep caverns of the area. A wealth of insects are found there, providing the main sustenance for this quirky creature. His ability to catch food is one of the defining characteristics of the Frahkis. His excellent night vision is aided by protruding hammerhead-like eye sockets which receive signals and tell him where his favorite prey is, as well as a pair of fins that sit side by side on the top of his head. Once he has the location of a target, usually a flying insect like the Hook Bug, the Frahkis snaps his disproportionately long arms out and snatches them up. Its needle teeth make quick work of the insect’s hard shell and its slim tail help keep it balanced on the cavern’s many ledges.

Summoned Beast:

Steam Pits Alpha Predator: Nuh Tkeupar

Lore:

The dominant predator of the Western Steam Pits, the Nuh Tkeupar is feared by all other creatures in the region. This devastating colossus is a flying death machine to all those that stand in its way. Its large razor sharp beak rends flesh with chaotic efficiency. Larger prey is taken down with its one-of-a-kind energy bolts that blast through a ruby red crystal horn that grows in a duct on its forehead. An energy sack sits behind the crystal under the skin, which directs light into compressed bolts. The sack is covered with thick electrical neurons that connect to it's highly charged brain. It's 10 meter wing span is second to none and keeps this hunter on top of its prey at all times. The bat like wings are covered with sharp spikes and bristling muscle. Its stout body and multiple tails allow for ultimate balance and maneuverability while in the air over the pits. These asexual creatures are extremely rare because of the hunting ground they cover and are born only once every millennium.

Beast Battle 11

2008-11-06T08:46:00.001-08:00

Summoner Red won this week!

Summoned Beast:
Atankerei

Lore:
A native of the Frost Reaches, a vast glacial island off the western coast of Corpus Callosum, the Atankerei, is a flightless bird that has vestigial nubs on it's upper body. These small wing remnants are an evolutionary holdover from it's flying ancestors. Its extremely thick coat of feathers is ornate, especially around the shoulders where they cover exposed bone plating. The pale blue monochromatic coloration is a perfect camouflage in the barren wastes of the frostbitten glacier. This highly evolved bird has an upright skeletal structure that is dense and built for durability unlike it's hollow boned family members eons ago. One of the unique abilities the Atankerei utilizes while hunting is a precisely delivered spray of highly corrosive and very deadly stomach acid. Organic material is no match for this fast acting acid which stops its prey in their tracks. Many Summoners coat their armor with a processed version of the Atankerei's mysterious mucosal stomach lining for extra protection during duels with this beautifully vile creature.

Beast Battle 10

2008-11-06T08:39:00.001-08:00

Summoner Red defeated Summoner Blue this week but in the end Ytl'paups was the ultimate loser.

Summoned Beast:
Eh

Lore:
A dull creature living under the rocks and bushes in the outback region of the Corpus Calloseum, it has no true shape of it's own, for it is merely a small gray blob. The looks of this creature can be deceiving however, as it is a cunning hunter and fierce predator. Able to stretch, bend, and twist it's body into any shape imaginable, once the Eh has targeted it's prey, there is no escape. Luckily for the other inhabitants of the realm, the Eh only feeds once a year. Unfortunately though, it goes on a 24 hour feeding frenzy that usually wipes out any living thing within a mile of the Eh's resting place.

Beast Battle 9

2008-11-06T08:33:00.001-08:00

Summoner Red won this week by a thread! (or a zip line)

Summoned Beast:
Gnaa'aaaaaa'ar

Lore:
A strange beast, the Gnaa'aaaaaa'ar spends most of its time in the upper canopy of the dense jungle in southern Corpus Callosum. It has developed a strange mode of travel where it hangs from a fibrous line it creates and attaches between trees. Unlike a spider's web however, it does not use this line for getting food in the classical sense, only for transportation. The Gnaa'aaaaaa'ar has a prehensile tail that it uses to feed itself with since all of its hands and feet are busy holding onto the line. Mostly it forages for food since its singular, large eye at its front means a lack of the depth perception needed for hunting. Its name comes from the sound it makes when trying to attract a mate.

Beast Battle 8

2008-11-06T08:25:00.001-08:00

Summoner Blue Defeated his rival in this clash of titans

Summoned Beast:
Ulmridaer

Lore:
Emerging from the depths of the ocean every equinox to feed, the great Ulmridaer is the thing of legends. Its massive body has been mistaken for an island from afar by those unfortunate to come across it, for it is the last sight they will see on the treacherous waters. The reach of the Ulmridaer's twelve razor lined tentacles is so great that few have ever gotten close enough to view the body, which is home to various plant life and vegetation. Once grasped by these tentacles, the prey has the life squeezed out of it as the razor lining cuts them to shreds in a matter of seconds. This effectively chums the waters and both allows the Ulmridaer to feed via it's baleen lined mouth, and attracts more predators, which then become the prey of this mighty beast.

Beast Battle 7

2008-11-06T08:12:00.001-08:00

Summoner Red Tarred & feathered the competition with a well deserved victory!

Summoned Beast:
Mayh Faulk

Lore:
Emerging every night in the Hathnor Swamps of Corpus Callosum is one of the more putrid creatures in the region. The Mayh Faulk, a blind nocturnal trapper, lies in wait near its custom made pit. It uses the tar that it excretes from its back to form a death bed in the mud. Once prey is caught it uses its pincers to extract struggling critters and immediately devours them with its tough beak. This unsightly beast is lined with boils, pustules, and warts. Its grub like body splits open in the back to reveal dozens of poison needles that when threatened shoot out like missiles. Its tiny regenerating legs, which can be as many as 50 at adulthood, only allow for a very slow pace but what this beast lacks in speed it makes up for in its vile long range defenses.

Beast Battle 6

2008-11-06T08:06:00.000-08:00

Summoner Red Chomps the competition this week!

Summoned Beast:
Kari'bes

Lore:
Arguably the "cutest" of the creatures from Corpus Callosum, the Kari'bes are also one of the smallest, measuring in at a mere 2 inches long, which includes their inch long tails. Kari'bes have a dense layer of bristly hair which covers most of their body, and is so durable it can withstand both extreme heat and extreme cold. For this reason, the Kari'bes can be found in almost any region of the Corpus Callosum Realm. These tiny creatures are not to be taken for granted though, as their colony tends to swarm any attackers by the thousands and can easily take out animals like the Ytl'paups with shear numbers. Their large mouths, which are lined with tiny razor sharp teeth get the job done with piranha like efficiency. These attacks are rarely seen coming as the Kari'bes are able to run at amazing speeds and climb most any surface with their six legs and unique cross toed feet.

Beast Battle 5

2008-11-06T07:51:00.000-08:00

Summor Blue Electrocuted his opponet this week with a solid win.

Summoned Beast:
Rahg Rawhk

Lore:
Primarily a Grazer, the Rahg Rawhk is a mammoth creature standing 3 meters tall. This giant beast has a large shell, which resembles the isopods of the earth realm. The protective armor covers most of its body and has prongs on the sides of each segment. The Rahg Rawhk's wall of binocular eyes provide excellent awareness of its surroundings.Don't let this graceful herbivore fool you. The best grazing sites don't come for free. Rahg Rawhks must take over and defend the land through brutal territorial combat. It's main tool for offense lay in the knobby horns that protrude out of its insulated cheeks. They provide a fatal shock to any animal subjected to its violent electrocution. When fighting against another Rahg Rawhk the beast must gain speed with its strong segmented legs and ram the opposition's shell. After flipping its armored opponent, its defenseless underbelly becomes exposed and blown apart in an explosion of sparks.

Beast Battle 4

2008-11-06T07:39:00.000-08:00

Summoner Blue won this week proving that it's not just a platypus.

Summoned Beast:

Ytl'paups

Lore:

Despite it's mammalian appearance, the Ytl'paups is actually a small form of water dragon. They use their shovel shaped noses to root through the mud of the various rivers they call home, where they eat mostly small invertebrates. The Ytl'paups can travel at alarming speeds against the currents thanks to their webbed feet and large paddle like tails. If provoked, they can defend themselves with their two large, venom laced spines.

Beast Battle 3

2008-11-06T07:18:00.000-08:00

Summoner Blue prevailed this week with a slim victory.

Summoned Beast:

Arri

Lore:

Found deep in the southern jungles of Corpus Callosum, this sleek striped beast is an expert predator. It's large body resembles that of a tiger found on Earth, but it's physical resemblance ends there. Its elongated head can plunge into narrow Kupercee burrows, one of its main prey. The most interesting feature by far is muscular tentacles that are rooted in their face. These powerful tentacles rip its prey from the normally safe tunnel with ease. The Arri is also capable of great speed and precision while traveling through the dense jungle, partly due to it's long tail which allows it to virtually change direction in mid air.

Beast Battle 2

2008-11-06T06:54:00.000-08:00

Summoner Red was the victor with his awesome gremlin concept!

Summoned Beast:

Skrifchule (Chaos Gremlin)

Lore:

Small humanoid creatures, chaos gremlins thrive on disorder. Because of their natural curiosity and pursuit of hi-jinx, a tribe of Chaos Gremlins found a way through the portal and started secret colonies on earth. They are commonly found lurking in the shadows or in the filth of larger beings, especially in places crowded with objects. Typical characteristics include large, pointed ears that stick above their heads, wide, oval eyes, and a sparse layer of fur. What perhaps is their most prominent feature however, is their oversized feet. Any scraps left behind from slobs or children will only attract them, it is a large part of their diet. Their favorite pastime is to steal people's left shoes, for they rather enjoy causing chaos and disarray.

Beast Battle 1

2008-11-05T14:34:00.000-08:00

The results are in and it looks like the first BEAST BATTLE was a TIE! Hopefully we will see a solid winner in the next match up.

Summon:
Turar'zul

Lore:
This fork-jawed "demon" levitates over the steam pits of western Corpus Callosum. Most of its intelligence is used for sustenance. Its specialized forked jaw can quickly scoop up giant beetles that tunnel in the dense clay. Although two of its quad eyes are quite large compared to its bulky limbless body, they are merely capable of simple motion detection. The large eyes are nestled behind two large horns which protrude downward to defend against it's struggling prey. It's smaller eyes rest above it's characteristic hog nose. A knobby top horn crowns this "demon's" head. In battle he is a fearless hunk of teeth capable of great speed with its levitation ability.
