The last quarter final of WHC VIII. You know what to do. You've got 24 hours to do it in.
The Combatants:
Seagull
Group Stage: Won Group C 4th place play off against Japanese Giant Hornet
2nd Round: Defeated Mantis Shrimp
Seagull is the surprise package of WHC VIII. Although he was always likely to have some support due to his affiliation with the Worlds Greatest Football Club, he has done outstandingly to reach the quarter finals for the first time in his WHC career. In a group containing Honey Badger and Hippo it was always likely that he'd be fighting for the final qualifying places. He showed his mettle when he tied for fourth and had to go head to head with the more experienced Japanese Giant Hornet. He smashed it, winning the play off comfortably. He was then drawn against Mantis Shrimp, the reigning champion and in the shock of the tournament sent him packing too. So whats his secret? Well, first up it is a highly intelligent and brave bird. It has been known to fly into the mouths of surfacing whales to peck out flesh to eat. It loves to dive bomb its victims and will eat just about anything. Will have a go on its own but also loves to attack in a mob. Can take out prey on land, at sea or in the air. That's been enough to get it this far, is it enough to take it further?

Vs
Wolverine
Group Stage: Winner Group A
2nd Round: Defeated Mongoose
Wolverine is another beast who is having a great WHC tournament. Often its a struggle to get out of the group stage but this year the usually underrated wolverine has got the popular support its talents deserve. Small and muscular with razor sharp teeth and claws it has a strength disproportionate to its diminutive size and is famed for its ferocity, defending its kills against much larger animals such as wolves and bears. It has been observed trying to take a kill away from a bear and in one account attacked and killed a Polar Bear by biting and clinging to the Polar's throat until it suffocated. Is it enough to see off the Seagull? You have the power to decide.
