 Name: Isbjornson Bluford
Age:20 plus
Gender: Male
Species: Blue ice bear
Height: 62 ft on hind legs, 34 ft on all fours
Weight: 20 tonnes
Physical Description: Blue fur, blood, tongue, claws, intestines,skin, and eyes.
Clothing/Accessories/Weapons: Claws, paws, huge bulk, thick fur, and strength
Personality: Usually silent, friendly, faithful, compassionate, and contemplative
Backstory: Isbjornson Bluford was the largest of his kind. He was given the gift of speach by the Second Creator (Delivering King) and given power (blue energy) by the Third Creator (Blue Burning Fire). When the time to choose sides came, the blue ice bears remained loyal to the Three Creators and the largest blue ice bear used his breathe to blow away evil black death. Before being given the gift of speech and reason, the blue ice bears preyed on bull mammoths, bull rhinos, bull aurochs and other ungulates, seals, sea lions, fish, bull walruses, reindeer, and even whales like belugas and narwhales. After being given the gift of speech and reason, some of his former prey remained loyal to the Three Creators and they therefore became his allies (e.g. the belugas and narwhales). However, the blue ice bear still preys on the bull mammoths, seals, sea lions, bull aurochs, bull musk oxens, and other bull ungulates as well as rogue bull walruses which have defected to evil black death. The fish with short lifespan and weren't given the gift of speech and reason as well as the blue jellyfish and bright blue sea anemones remained or became part of his diet (main food on the menu). Isbjorn Bluford became a blue star after his kin was raptured to Kingdom of Life together with his allies (e.g. whales and dolphins and bright blue albastross).
Abilities:The blue ice bear is the strongest land animal in the universe. Powerful even by bear standards, the blue ice bear can even kill a mammoth or rhino with a single swipe and pull down up to 20 times his weight. A blue ice bear can defeat evil black death (even in his bright green dragon form) even before being given the gift of speech and reason. Immune to laser, nuclear bombs, and bullets.
Weaknesses: Like earth's polar bear, he is not adaptable to temperature change, however, this has been solved after Third Creator (Blue Burning Fire) gave him blue energy.
Additional Information: A blue ice bear defeating Green Light Bearer/ Evil black Death is like a blue star beating a black hole. |

Ankalagon megacolossus
Mesonychia
Eocene-Oligocene of central and western Eurasia
average shoulder height ~4 m, corresponding body mass ~10t, skull length roughly 2.5 m, bite force ~ 10-15 t (multibody-dynamics-based estimate)
This is a larger species of the Paleocene mesonychid Ankalagon. While A. saurognathus may not be a pushover for its time, it’s still wholly undeserving of its name. In order to at least somewhat correct this oversight, we need a second species that’s a little more worthy: this one is approximately the size of a very large elephant, and the largest mammalian and possibly the largest terrestrial predator of all time. While we could argue that "elephant-sized" is still a little disappointing with a name suggesting a beast three times the size of Mount Everest, this is the largest we can at least somewhat plausibly make it as a real animal, and at least a step up in the right direction from "bear-sized". Everything larger seems wholly implausible for a terrestrial predatory mammal (it’s too bad Ankalagon isn’t a genus of theropod, pterosaur or marine reptile, really. A giant mosasaur or a basal, toothed pterosaur named Ankalagon would have been way more awesome than some mammal).
Due to its extreme size, this taxon has a more graviportal leg morphology, however less so than an elephant, and more comparable to an indricothere, allowing it to be somewhat more athletic. It is thought that it was a pursuit predator, relying on moderate speed, very high endurance and sheer strength to chase down and finally overpower large herbivores, such as adult brontotheres and indricotheres. As one of the last known mesonychids, it was eventually displaced by new radiations of predators, such as creodonts, however not before it took a very heavy toll on them (perhaps it even destroyed a major mountain chain and contributed to sinking a subcontinent, since tectonics isn’t my strong suit, I guess we’ll never know). Up to this day, it is debated how such comparatively small competitors stood any chance in direct competition with this beast and indeed none of these would ever again approach similar sizes. Some smaller relatives of Ankalagon megacolossus are rumoured to have endured as living fossils into the second and third age of the cenozoic, but even these were very rare and pale in comparison to their earlier relatives.
Despite some early suggestions in the literature, misidentifying features of the forelimbs as indicative of bat-like wings and a curiously enlarged and (actually diagenetically) opalized larynx as adapted for breathing fire, these are only hoaxes. However it is thought that Ankalagon megacolossus’ breath might have been so pungent it could blind or render its opponents unconscious or even cause serious and sometimes fatal injuries, similar to contemporary chemical weapons.
Others have called this hypothesis sensationalist hyperbole meant to garner media attention, and "just as if someone tried to infer the existence if gigantic, ichthyosaur-eating cephalopods based on patterns in fossil vertebrae, or some BS like that".

theropodThink that can go in the Battle royale? Anyhow, I will be making 2 sets of characters, somewhat in accordance with one another: 'Pete 4', the 5.4 ton, AVA optimized Daspletosaurus with a taste for mammalian megafauna and a lust for vengeance against some other reptilian supremists of their type. It can also travel back and forward in time by running very fast with its mouth wide open should it encounter any tasty morsels along the way This Daspletosaurus is not your ordinary Daspletosaurus; it has very impressive track record in terms of prey head on. It's been able to kill an 8.2 ton woolly mammoth, 5 ton Elasmotherium, 11 ton Paraceratherium, and 7.8 ton American mastodon with no ambush. It's also taken down a Spinosaurus of 7 tons close to the water's edge, and likes to eat Therizinosaurus if it's feeling the need for a more extraordinary prey item. On a regular basis, it likes the taste of short faced bears, Smilodon populator, Baryonyx, and Allosaurus fragilis. It also likes juvenile Mapusaurus every now and again. And its worst enemies would never had been aware of its existence if it weren't for a small misstep on a long journey.

Quintuplet of African Trouble:
These Nile crocodiles, all carbon copies of Gustave at 1.09 tons each and plenty of hunger to back it up, are on the hunt for a prehistoric nemesis - a cousin of T rex who is their worst competition.
They first started having issues with one another when Pete 4 appeared and stole an elephant carcass they had worked very hard to kill. One of the crocodiles latched itself onto Pete 4 in the midst of the fight, and after it came to a draw the clamped croc, who had not let go, was whisked away. The others followed as fast as they could go, and to this day all 5 stalk in Pete's shadow. Every now and again they will get into a fight, with so far mutual draws; Pete has trouble walking for several days afterwards and many crocodiles have smashed armor and missing appendages, but everyone has survived. Which team comes on top in the Battle Royale?

theropodThink that can go in the Battle royale? You'd probably need a group of them. And preferrably some artistic liberties so that they can breathe fire.  Nice animal, by the way. It reminds me of a line in my post where I described my potential Jurassic Park in the LBM thread (http://theworldofanimals.proboards.com/post/35926/thread ). There, I called the T. rex an "elephant-sized lion". Well, now we have something that comes much closer. |

@creature
2 things:
1: what do you mean artistic liberties? This is a fantasy animal, it can be as unrealistic as needed
2: What animal? Pete 4? I agree, seems like an elephant sized lion as well

No this is a fictional animal…not likely that it ever existed of course, but biologically plausible. There’s another thread for fantasy creatures, right?
Anyway, do what you want with it. You can also make your own fantasy version that actually does fly and breathe fire if you need one. I guess using the actual Ancalagon the Black in any of those battle royals would be a bit too much of a mismatch…

Well, I'd bet on 1 of my AVA Mapusaurus being able to beat it.
Not that much size difference, the carnosaur(s) are armed with impressive weapons, and can only die when the Ankalogon wants to kill itself from all the effort exterted

Wait, a multi ton terrestrial mammalian carnivore is actually plausible? Or is it solely the size aspect and not its predatory habits?

1: what do you mean artistic liberties? This is a fantasy animal, it can be as unrealistic as needed 's profile heavily implies that the evidence of it sprouting wings and breathing fire is too weak to be taken seriously and about as plausible as the giant Triassic kraken (plus, it's treated like a bit of a joke). 2: What animal? Pete 4? I agree, seems like an elephant sized lion as well Wait, a multi ton terrestrial mammalian carnivore is actually plausible? Or is it solely the size aspect and not its predatory habits? I think theropod was seeing it from a biomechanical rather than an ecological point of view. You always have to take some artistic liberties if you want something truly cool (like an Ankalagon that even remotely resembles the dragon). It's at least in principle possible to come up with a headcanon in which A. megacolossus had a yet undiscovered plethora of mega-mammoths to prey on (and/or that it was also an omnivore). No this is a fictional animal…not likely that it ever existed of course, but biologically plausible. There’s another thread for fantasy creatures, right? Ironically, the thread you are referring to so far only contains two rather biologically plausible alien animals while this thread here is mostly filled with superman-bears. It's almost the titles should be switched. Well, I'd bet on 1 of my AVA Mapusaurus being able to beat it. Not that much size difference, the carnosaur(s) are armed with impressive weapons, and can only die when the Ankalogon wants to kill itself from all the effort exterted Theropod was referring to Ancalagon the Black, AKA Tolkien's super-dragon. |

Infinity Blade : Well, I meant as in, if you put a set of giant carnivorous jaws on a Paraceratherium body, it would not cause it to die under its own weight or anything like that. Of course something like this would probably never evolve in reality, I just meant purely mechanically and physiologically it could work. I made this as big as a terrestrial mammal seems to be able to get. To grow larger (sauropod territory) you’d probably need special adaptations that mammals don’t have (such as pneumaticity, extreme neck elongation…), in short, you’d need to be a sauropod, or at least have very sauropod-like features. And indeed dragons have rather long necks, and are probably extensively pneumatised, even if something that large of course would never be able to fly in reality. That small thing there that looks like a fly is Smaug, which could effortlessly destroy an entire city. And if anything, this is a conservative estimate for Ancalagon’s size, if we consider its body covered and destroyed the three peaks of Thangorodrim when it was slain, each of which is suggested to have been 35 000 feet tall and 5 miles accross. He also certainly contributed a fair degree to the sinking of Beleriand, I.e. essentially the destruction of a small continent. Sorry, but your Mapusaurus would likely be too small for it to even bother with.

Sorry, but your Mapusaurus would likely be too small for it to even bother with. Yeah, you may have a point. I probably see a stalemate there*, or edge to Ancalogon *Remember, the Mapusaurus only forfeits when the other animal wants to kill itself from all the effort EDIT theropod, I was referring to the animal you made when I said that. Sorry for any confusion regarding that |

Didn't you drop that invincibility thing when I pointed out how it turned your matchup with Dunkleosteus terrestrials into a mismatch?

Post by dinosauria101 on Sept 18, 2019 20:36:01 GMT 5
Yes, I did.
And it's not invincible. But by the time it forfeits to the other animal/character, the other wants to kill itself from all the effort.
So no, not invincible. Just very hard to defeat

Barring some sort of nigh-invulnerability, how is it going to prevent Ancalogon from just stepping on it though? I don't see how the scenario you're having in mind is even remotely close.
