This is a wolverine. They are also known as skunk bears, nastycats or quickhatches, goddamn



My friend and I were curious why they were reputed to be such badasses, so we looked up some youtube videos and it quickly became my new favorite animal.

I saw a video of one attacking a bear who wandered into his area. I saw a video of a wolverine chasing off two fully grown wolves from a fresh kill and then chowing down. To paraphrase wikipedia: In another account, a wolverine attacked a polar bear and clung to its throat until the bear suffocated. Holy loving poo poo. These things weigh like 50 lbs. They're medium dog sized. If you were impressed by the honey badger then this is a hulked out version of that.

This is a loving badass critter and I can't wait to learn more about it.

Really? What's the reason for this?

I know a crap ton of people who are short as gently caress and for that reason decided to get gorilla jacked. I'd never want to fight a short muscley guy, it'd be like throwing down with the Wolverine.

I can't tell what the scale is, but is that housecat armor?

The SR-71 is truly cool as gently caress.

A good story deserves embellishment, as the man said.

Also chiming in that AoS is pretty good, in my opinion. Very dynamic and has a great cast. Gotta check the new season out. I love that this show always takes you to places you'd never except them to go.

When he dies, his body will still be clutching his battleaxe and he'll be surrounded by heaps of his enemies' corpses.

Simmunitions are the worst, I was the active shooter in some drills a local police department did a few years ago and I was covered in welts and bruises despite body armor and lots of clothing. I felt pretty badass at first as I was skipping around popping random shots off until I turned a corner and got absolutely lit up by 3 officers. Then we ran the scenario another five times...

Hah, my buddy did some similar training with sim rifles. Some guy turned the corner and blasted my friend almost point blank in the back and sides. He got bruised pretty bad and actually still has some scars on his sides where there was no plate protection.

Anyway they should do dueling with these

It's basically a compressed air launcher that fires big rear end slugs of paint or irritating powder.

Fair point. The first response from my friends/family was "that's so cruel and gross! Why would they do that?" which set my hackles up for posting it here I guess.

Tell them that hundreds of thousands of chickens die every day to become meat, but not this chicken. This chicken was born and became a science chicken.

The body is a flesh meat puppet Gundam which is being driven by the tiny man inside aka the brain. Which is a piece of meat haunted by a ghost called a soul. We're all just haunted meat suits, can't we just get along :unsmith:

Hahaha both of those videos are great. I love how nonplussed the ZOMBIE SKIN girl is while she's singing.
