That was a free-for-all though, right?

Because you just gave me an idea...

I just tested sperm whale man vs. elephant seal man 1v1 7 times. In 6 battles, the sperm whale man short work of the elephant seal man, and only lost in the seventh because the water was too shallow and it drowned. If it didn't last long enough to air-drown in your tests, something else must have killed the sperm whale man, probably the venom from one of the venomous snake men.

It seems that I waited too short of a time to determine if the whale air drowns. I came back just a moment ago and found its corpse where as the reports says it did indeed drown.

I set up an ultimate showdown of ultimate anthropomorphic destiny myself. Elephants seal man won for me too. It was a little bruised and missing its teeth, but otherwise fine. It reached master fighter, great wrestler, and dabbling armor user(somehow). But how? Is there something more to this than their size? I know larger creatures have a layer of fat thick enough to stop a steel axe, but the sheer number of opponents the seal man had to face, including the ones with venom, it perplexes me.

Yes, that to fascinates me. All of the winners of my test has the curious side affect of gaining armor using skills. I came to the same conclusion that perhaps their natural fat or hides is being counted as armor.

I'd say the elephant seal man's fat counts as armor, if not for skill rolls for actual protective value. I tried killing one unarmed with a proffesional-level human. punches and kicks are useless against these things. Scratches had little success too. Biting didn't get far because it kept shaking me off. I gonna say it's a combination of large size and protective fat that keeps them going through these melees. If someone had brought a weapon to the fight, it might have gone differently, but that's not the case.

Has spacing of opponents in relation to each other affected when they die? I mean the Elephant Seal Man I don't believe will change in terms of whether it'll win or not, but other weaker ones might become immediately eliminated because of advantageous traits of adjacent foes.

On that note, would giving a weaker -man who lacks venom, and certain traits a weapon, of shoddy or such quality really give him much of a better chance?

I say more gladitorial testings should be done.

Perhaps when the elephant man and giant elephant are finally added, the results of the first two tests will change accordingly.
Giant elephants?
We are going to need more magma.

I had all the creatures in the same exact square for each test
