Default Shapeshifter vs. Goblin

Here's the deal.
I won't be doing them in order of the bracket, for the reason then people don't say "Oh, ___ will be facing ___ next round", so it will still be a 'secret'.

Also, I will be posting tiny little bios taken from wikipedia to describe what I deem the best (being most hilarious, or least useful) fact about the said creature.


So, let's get this going.



Shapeshifter:


Quote:
While the popular idea of a shapeshifter is of a human being who turns into something else, there are numerous stories about animals that can transform themselves as well.


Goblin:


Quote:
According to some traditions, goblin comes from Gob or Ghob, the king of the gnomes , whose inferiors were called Ghob-lings.

Shapeshifter wins, because he could turn into the Goblin's son Harry Osborn and because of the Goblin's insanity render him emotionally and therefore physically defeated.

Plus the Shapeshifter can turn into a kitten. WIN.

Well one you assume the only Goblin is the Green Goblin.
Two, you assume he actually loves his son.

This can go either way, and gonna research goblins some more.

Goblins are awesome. Shapeshifting is cool but Goblins are crafty and strong. Gotta give props to the Middle Earth Goblins.

Gotta go with the shape shifter on this one. I reckon I could take a pansy assed goblin but a shape shifter, fuck that, it could turn into so many things I have no defence against. A bazooka for example, or a giant net to ensnare me. Yes, a shapeshifter could smash a goblins face in, and so could I.

Death to the Goblin!

Here is an episode of one of my favourite t.v series Red Dwarf, just to iterate what a shape shifter can do. Worth a watch

Waah, that last movie... now I know where the Alien creature designer got its inspiration...

A shapeshifter could transform into that shark. And into an Alien. Into you.

Bah, that means the shapeshifter is gonna win the entire thing since it can turn into the monster it's facing.

Stupid everything monster.

Aren't traditional shifters just people who turn into animals though?

No no no, the shapeshifter IMO can change shapes, but it does not inherently get the same powers as the shape it shifts into. It only has the powers (if any) that it had originally, which is probably very few since his main power is shapeshifting.

So unless the shape evokes some psychological response from the shapeshifter's enemy, it doesn't really have any effect.

Yeah, I think we need to clarify the limitations of the Shapeshifter. They can take on shapes/identity of other creatures/people/animals, but they can't emulate those creatures powers and abilities.

Honestly I think that makes shapeshifters fairly limited in the monster world, except for disguising themselves and hiding.

Goblins are smart, crafty, strong...I really have no idea how Shapeshifters are winning.

Is this a popularity contest, or a 'who would win if pit against each other' thing?

Because the shapeshifter got my vote because it's way cooler, not stronger.

Yep, just as I suspected. The contest is whatever you want it to be.

I also thought shapeshifters were limited in their ability to shift by what they interact with?

Or are we assuming they can do it just on sight as well?
