Nominated it last year and took full responsibility for its dismal result.
However, this year could well be the year of the SEAHORSE. The small friendly loveable creature is actually one of the best hunters in the sea. Hard as nails. Deserves a shot.

The King's Gull
Well I guess the seagull that Brightons are most familiar with is the European herring gull, here's a lovely quote on the wiki page:
To the seagulls credit, they are quite willing to approach and attack people, who are debatably the deadliest creatures on the planet. You have to be pretty hard if you have the guts to spray poo all over them.

That's not really hard is it? Other than being strong that could be a bloke from Croydon with a half eaten box of Celebrations at home

A different kind of pasty
I am a massive SHARK fan, but I have a mate (Brighton fan as it happens) who recently went diving in Florida and dived CAGELESS with both Bull sharks and Tiger sharks and he wasn't eaten. For that reason, I can't nominate either.
I nominate [MENTION=232]Simster[/MENTION] 's mate. Cageless shark diving sounds pretty hard to me

Seconded.
First time, he actively went looking for Bulls to feed and found them. His FB feed includes this pic of a bull shark taking half a fish almost from his hand. Considering bulls are responsible for more shark attack deaths than any other (because they swim up large rivers in murky water as they can swim in both sea and fresh water), I thought he was a bit of a tit. Three days later he went looking to swim with lemon sharks and a fking MASSIVE tiger shark came to investigate.

No need for this years tournament. We have a WINNER!
Bet he wouldn't do that with a GRATE white SHARK though.I am a massive SHARK fan, but I have a mate (Brighton fan as it happens) who recently went diving in Florida and dived CAGELESS with both Bull sharks and Tiger sharks and he wasn't eaten. For that reason, I can't nominate either.
We should probably nominate the bloke who was IN the cage when this happened:

The competition proper will start on Monday. There will be four groups with the top four in each progressing to the second round. From the second round onwards it will be straight head to head contests. Each contest will last for 48 hours.
It's a competition about hardness and the many factors that go into making something hard. Get ready, your beasts will need you if they are to thrive.
*The Ramazzottius Varieornatus is a form of Tardigrade. It was brought to my attention that the Tardigrade is not actually a beast but a phylum(i.e class of beast) rather than a single beast. The R.V is a single species of Tardigrade and has been nominated to take the place of the phylum Tardigrade.

This seems like a good time to post this video of the deadly, vicious, oh-so-hard honey badger being held for 2 minutes by, umm, a weedy bloke in his garden. Mind you, I have to concede that he is using specialist protective clothing and equipment - comprising....a T-shirt and shorts.
"Have a look at how long and tough his claws are. They're used mostly for...digging" 
World's Hardest Creature? You're having a laugh.
Try doing that with a mantis shrimp - it'd knock your finger clean off.

I will post my annual picture of the cuddly honey badger.
