Zoofights/Characters: Difference between revisions

The contestants for Zoofights 1 were not given names initially, although several of them received names towards the end. Most of them are therefore referred to with [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]] names, except when a [[Fan Nickname]] takes hold.

* [[Everything's Better Withwith Monkeys]]

* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]

* [[Everything's Even Worse Withwith Sharks]]

* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]] - The pigs lose their first match when they commit suicide. But one survives, the soft bacon tank collapsing and preventing him from shooting himself. After enduring "the living hell of being entombed" with his dead brothers in a tank made from pig corpses, a "seriously angry pig" emerges from the wreckage and gets some significant upgrades, becoming Porky Punisher, a pig wearing Master Chief-style armor and armed with a Desert Eagle handgun. His ensuing wave of support made him a serious Ensemble Darkhorse. He even survived the tournament!

* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]

{{quote| '''Major Failure''': He can leap tall buildings in a single bound, but his bones break upon landing. He can shoot webs, but they're usually speckled with his own blood. Poor bastard.}}

* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]

Retired police chief John Burnell, from ''America’s Scariest Police Chases''! He appears near the end of Zoofights 1 to battle Sega Gorillesis in an exhibition match, but soon winds up joining Mechos, Hulkaphant, and Porky Punisher in the final battle against Swanmass.

* [[Everything's Even Worse Withwith Sharks]]: Taken [[Up to Eleven]].

{{quote| '''Major Failure''': What we found, after four days of fruitless searching and our men being dragged screaming into tiny passages beneath the earth, was pure zoofights gold: 20 survivors of the Owl Patrol Project, still dressed in khaki rags, clutching rusted, jagged fragments of rifle parts and caked in three decades of blood, filth and horror. We had finally created the most insane organisms on the planet.}}

As such, it would seem his hacking abilities may no longer be limited to machines.}}}}

{{quote| {{spoiler|Ironichide via The Major: "He had killed the rest of the Kray team out of 'what looked like spiteful thrills' and begun a cult of other animals who guarded his new home at the head of the river on the starboard face of the volcano.

The damnable machine fulfilled its purpose of disassembling the hippo at an atomic level and rebuilding it in a living state in the next room - but it also worked its grisly magic on the brute's entire stomach content. Tragically, this meant that the hippo, when reborn, was fused with the remains of eight crowd members and Sawz, the hapless pangolin who was devoured by it at the very start of their duel.}}}}

* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]] / [[Stealth Pun]]: Their name manages to combine both.

{{quote| [[The Sociopath|Friendship Is A Redundant Concept Only Held By The Weak.]]}}

The big boss, the one behind it all. Sometimes referred to as "The Major" or "The Good Major". His roleplay persona of choice is [[Character Asas Himself|Major Failure]] – an ex-military man with vast wealth who forces animals to brawl for his and others’ amusement. He also posted occasionally as Al Swearengen in Zoofights 3.

* [[Blatant Lies]]: Every tournament Major Failure assures the audience that nothing will go wrong this year. And every year he's wrong. He was especially insistant about it in Zoofights IV, a year when ''three'' competitors became [[Eldritch AbominationsAbomination]]s.

* [[Everything's Better Withwith Penguins]]: Spoonsy is a big fan of penguins, and he added one to Zoofights 4 as one of Glaciosaur’s upgrades.

* [[Heartwarming Orphan]] / [[OrphansOrphan's Ordeal]]

* [[Is It Something You Eat?]]: Gezora is certain its done that at some point.

* [[Not Even Bothering Withwith the Accent]]: "Herb" tended to go off on H.H. Johnson-style intellectual rants, sometimes not even making a cursory effort to correct himself after he realizes what he’s saying.

{{quote| "I am Agent Johnson, a representative of, let us say, a covert branch of the United States Fish and Wildlife service, here with the full cooperation of the British government."}}

* [[Shout -Out]]: Maybe to [[The Question]], who's also detective without a face, and The Question's own expy [[Watchmen (Comic Bookcomics)|Rorschach]], who has amoeba-like blobs on his mask.

* {{spoiler|[[Spanner in Thethe Works]]: Major Failure said later that there were big plans for The Snapture, but they had to be discarded due to his loss. The climax of Zoofights V, initially planned to center around The Snapture, wound up becoming focused on Croctopus instead.}}

* [[Mecha -Mooks]]: Robotnik’s army of Eggrobos.
