Final. Griffin vs. Leviathan

[Typhoid]

So it comes down to the final. Finally.
If this is to carry on anymore, I personally think it should be back with Animal Wars.
Possibly user-submitted suggestions, to add a touch of personal vendetta.

Griffin:
http://www.how-to-draw-cartoons-online.com/image-files/griffin.gif

- According to the Oxford English Dictionary: "the regular modern spelling is griffon, in other senses usually griffin, though gryphon is used by many writers as having more dignified associations."

-Griffins are normally known for guarding treasure.



Leviathan:

In a legend recorded in a Midrash called Pirke de-Rabbi Eliezer it is stated that the whale which swallowed Jonah narrowly avoided being eaten by the Leviathan, which generally eats one whale each day.

Legend speaks of a beast
Three hundred miles from it's tip to it's tail
None have seen it, yet all know it's name
Like the ark of the covenant, or the holy grail

We set out on a quest
In search of the lair, where the creature doth dwell
On a ransom to bring back it's head
Our journey would take us to the depths of hell

His eyes shine like the rays of morning
His mouth is as a burning flame

Leviathan
Cresting the waves
Leading us all to the grave
Leviathan
Slaying all foes
Who dare to oppose
Tearing bodies limb from limb
Eviscerating on a whim

The skies turned to black
The oceans fell dead, no winds dared to blow
Then out the darkness with a thunderous roar
Leviathan rose up from the depths below

Cannons fired, and swords tasted blood
As the beast turned to strike with rage in it's eyes
From it's mouth came a great ball of flame
It was then we all knew, that the end was nigh

His eyes shine like the rays of morning
His mouth is as a burning flame
His nostrils seethe with fumes of brimstone
He is the beast that can't be tamed

"GRYPHONS" ATTACK!!

[Angrist]

Leviathan definately. My brother owns a pretty good SF book about it (also titled Leviathan). About people who want to prove its existence or something, I need to read it.


Anyway, I like gryphons... but they're not as cool as the Leviathan.

[BreakABone]

Only one of them was ever a megazord...

Go Leviathan.

I vote leviathan because the Gryphon could only have beaten the Kraken if this contest was wrigged ;) and it should not be in the final. The Kraken's underling must therfore fight the good fight, it could devour entire flocks of Gryphon's.

[Angrist]

Wow, amazing drawings. Are there larger versions of those?

[BreakABone]

This is going to come down to the wire, but Griffin Thunderzord power!

[Teuthida]

It's a robot foot. How can you take a mythological beast in the form of a foot seriously?

[TheSlyMoogle]

Thunder Megazord Anybody?

[ZebraRampage]

I'm still not sure which one to vote for. The poll doesn't close for another day and a half, so I have time. Try to convince me to pick one!

[Professor S]

Gryphon wins via versatility.

It's a mythological beast

Bribery? Really? That only shows how weak the Leviathan's argument really is. How it got past the Chupacabra I'll never know...

[Swan]

I have stuck with Leviathan this whole competition for one reason.


Awesome album titled Leviathan.


I will leave it at that

[Typhoid]

If it ends in a tie, get ready to put your per suasion pants on.

[Angrist]

I have to admit that I've been wearing the wrong shirt these last days...

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3430/3883278839_35e0df9ee4_o.jpg

As for per suasion: a Griffin isn't even a monster! It usually lets people ride on its back. Leviathan just eats people. And boats. And whales. And Kraken (sorry Ric). And Griffin if they're stupid enough to get close to the seas.

[Teuthida]

I usually think of the breed of dog first:

http://www.littlepawz.com/dog_images/griffon.jpg

It looks like it has the head of an ewok. Freaks me out.

[ZebraRampage]

If it ends in a tie, get ready to put your per suasion pants on.

It won't because I have yet to vote. Though there are plenty of other member that could change that, but they would have voted by now if that was the case.

[Bube]

Ok, this should win it for the Leviathan... The huge tank from Unreal Tournament!!!

And you cant make an origami leviathan

http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/origami-gryphon.jpg

[Teuthida]

Because Leviathan has too much decency to be folded by filthy human hands.


I present to you the papercraft Leviathan...forged from the deep sea. That's right, made of paper so tough it actually came from the water. It would take 4 million years of sitting perfectly still in acid to see any sort of damage. And then it would just look even cooler.

[Fox 6]

Hahaha, had to cheap out and use tape.

[Fyacin]

Leviathan.
It's a Final fantasy summon I beleive. Also heats griffin's for breakfast. Also, amazing album. Also, I LIKE 'EM

[Teuthida]

You want the almighty Crab to be seen with his foolish birdcat? Leviathan and the King Crab in all his Crabbiness go hand in hand...like hands...in hand.

[Fox 6]

But neither have hands!

Therefore: COMMUNISM!

[Teuthida]

Who needs hands with these cool moves.

Apparently Teuthida is being selective with his pictures.

I see hands.

[Teuthida]

Those are obviously the hands of a momma Leviathan.


More for me and my Leviathaners.

http://twobeerguys.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/imperial_ipa_4pk.jpg

And I don't even drink. Proves how dedicated I am.

[Teuthida]

So I think it's clear the Leviathan is a fiercer looking beast but...

it's also far cuter as a baby than a birdcat.

[ZebraRampage]

It looks like my vote might end up being the deciding vote. I already knew which one I wanted to vote for, I just though it would get everyone involved if I made it seem like I didn't haha. Maybe Earl is rubbing off on me, trying to get more activity and such...

[Teuthida]

You cheeky bastard. All for naught. :( Be careful though. Last time Earl rubbed off on me I got the most horrible rash.....

The leviathan is the true winner to the folks that matter

[Fox 6]

The knights templar?

[Ric]

Blasphemy :mad2:

[Teuthida]

So I keep having these dreams about this girl I had a crush on in college. Decided to check the website of the store she works at. A bunch of fancy wine and cheeses and such. Not somewhere I'd ever go...although then I see their wine of the week is

http://www.deandeluca.com/ProductImg/500/LEV07RE3.jpg

Wouldn't that be quite the opening line. "So at this gaming forum I belong to we has these monster polls and the Leviathan...blah blah blah...." *sigh*

[Angrist]

You could buy the wine and say how much you like the animal. It's better than anything Bond has with the Danish girl. ;)

[Typhoid]

I think the gaming forum thing would go over hilariously, depending on the girl. And of course, depending on your delivery and level of creepiness while saying it.
