If you're wearing a hat, hold on to it because a storm is a brewin'. It's quarter final time and no quarter is going to be asked or given in these upcoming match ups. We have the eight most ferocious, aggressive, powerful, vicious, **** you attitude dismember beasts of 2016.
We want to find the hardest. Pound for pound. Who's got it all? Who's got the aggression to go with the raw power to go with the terrifying strength to go with the you might hurt me but I'm going to kill you attitude?
Both of our first quarter finalists have it in bucketfuls but there can only be one winner. That is your responsibilty. Exercise it wisely.
The combatants:
The Hippo

WHC IX performance:
2nd round: Beat Cassowary 61-43
Group E: 1st 30votes(25.86)
I'm running out of things to say about the Hippo. He's in his ninth consecutive quarter final and of the previous eight he's been in he's won seven. He's the 2010 champion. He's the third largest land mammal on earth and has the strength and power to go with it. His ace in the pack is his raw aggression. He's basically a herbivore(he has been known to eat carrion but not often and only if he stumbles across it and there's nothing else to eat). He's not particularly terrotorial either. So you might assume he's just a placid, lumbering BFG. You'd be so, so wrong. He is, in fact, a huge mound of muscular rage, possessing a distinctly unpredictable and volatile personality, he will attack anything just for the heck of it, because the mood takes him. And by anything, I mean literally anything. He lives in a part of the world teeming with not just deadly predators but apex predators. He will attack them. Not the other way around. He will attack them. So they, apex predators and all, do their best to stay out of his way. What's that passing 100 metres away in the river? A boat? He'll have that too. Yes, he attacks passing boats. Destroys them.

So hard there is a superhero named after him, the wolverine is having a wonderful tournament. So far he has defeated two former champs- the black mamba in group B and then WHC VII champion Mantis Shrimp in the second round. Now he's up against the 2010 champion. Facing the best brings out the best in this ferocious, vicious little killing machine with a strength that is disproportionate to its size. He is well known for taking on and killing animals many times his size and has even been reported taking on bears. If he is hunting you, you're in big, big trouble. Hide up a tree? He'll climb up after you. Get out in the river? He's swimming after you? Hide under twenty foot of arctic snow? This little ****er can smell you and will dig down and kill you. Then eat you. And leave nothing of you to be remembered by. He's already seen off two champions; is his heady mix of ferocity, abnormal strength and willingness to fight and kill much bigger beasts enough to see off a third?
