A wild steve appears!

Steve is the product of a secret military program to fuse a human with an echidna. Steve was horribly aged and disfigured in the process. He now only comes out at night to dwell on people's front porches, peering through their windows for a glimpse at the weather channel. He has a deep desire to destroy all young whippersnappers....bloody youngin's... with their pacman's and their 8 track tapes!

Grimlor

Grimlor is haunted by a past life of torment where hanging by the flesh from meathooks was a daily ritual. When relaxating, Grimlor can be seen drifting through the air, bound to this past life, he finds no rest from his ancestors torture. The memory of this pain is strong, in the arena it courses through his veins and powers every attack with unrelenting rage, Grimlor is an opponent to be feared. He also has boob spears.

Crablor

Crablor is a true monster, born of the shattered dreams of men it knows only the will to destroy.
It does not understand the concept of fight, the words win and lose mean nothing. Its sole purpose is to destroy everything in its path, to not do this, Crablor will simply not be.
Other monsters only exist because they have yet to meet Crablor!!!

Barbossa the Badder is ofcourse Entrant #1 in the challenge as he prides himself on winning any fighting competition in the galaxy (he's 'badder' then anyone else - but in his books good-bad, not bad-bad).

Monster Fight!

Illustrate your entry in the Ultimate Monster Fight Challenge – any shape or form goes! Inter-dimensional, extraterrestrial, supernatural, it doesn't matter. Entries for the first official Monster Fight Challenge must be posted on the blog by end of day December 31st to be valid.

Entries must adhere to the following rules:

• One hour drawing limit. Monster must be finished within 60 minutes. Any medium is acceptable – sketches are fine.
• Monsters mustn't be larger or heavier then a large elephant (around 3 meters across the back and 5000kg). They must be 'material', and not ephemeral or energy beings (all entrants must all be able to 'hit' each other).
  
• A Monster must be given a name by the creator.
• The creator may give a one paragraph background description of the creature.
  
• The creator can assign the Monster three key words to describe it's abilities. For instance, fast, savage, lean etc. Keywords may not include obvious exploits such as impervious, immortal etc.
• More then one monster may be entered into the Monster Fight, but will be treated as separate entries in regard to fighting and advancing in the competition (They'll fight each other).
• Each monster will fight each other, winners determined by a general office vote to be tallied. Ties for the most undefeated creature, or what is considered a valid keyword, will be judged by an impartial body, probably Admin.
