History Characters / Zoofights

[[spoiler:Defeated by Count Smackula via a nasty plunge from extreme heights, he was reshaped into a RoboCop-inspired mechanically-enhanced dolphin with laser guns and was once again soundly trounced, but spared, by SEGA Gorillensis Mk. 2. The two went on to the Royal Rumble as a team, but their friendship failed to gather support comparable to that of Mechos and Red Banana, so Gamma Constrictor turned both of them to dust with his time beam.]]

[[spoiler:He destroyed the Great Leap Forward without much effort, but Round 2 saw him knocked out by the Seal of Disapproval due to getting distracted by a gorillon dollar bill. Come the Royal Rumble, he '''nearly''' destroyed Gamma Constrictor (as the latter's time ray only made him [[MakeMyMonsterGrow grow bigger]]), but caused a violent time distortion by damaging sensitive mechanisms. Nevertheless, he somehow survived the fight despite getting fused to an aircraft carrier.]]

AfterTheEnd, America has gone underground, trying to avoid the worst of the nuclear holocaust wrought by Seanet. Unfortunately, the Americans have not escaped unscathed – they mutated, went crazy, and elected a giant bull elephant seal as their president-god-emperor. The Seal has subsequently entered the tournament to prove his might.

* CallBack: He revives a clone of Drillbjorn as a zombie during the battle against the Presidential Seal.

The first ever Zoofighter from North Korea! Great Leap Forward was originally created to assist the peasant folk with day-to-day challenges like farming, but he can fight when he has to.

[[spoiler:He returns for Round 2 with Seanet tentacles grafted into him, but [[FaceHeelTurn goes rogue]] in the process. Despite the enhancement, he cannot overcome Draaaainage, who sucks him dry. He fights in the losers' Rumble as Squidiot, a braindead brute who '''genuinely''' needs orders from an incompetent team to function. He is promptly eliminated by Chernoble.]]

[[spoiler:He loses his fight with Dreadnautilus and returns in the Losers' League as Hog Wild, riding a weaponized wheelchair pulled by a team of hyenas. His need to prove himself a worthy fighter to a crown that detests him causes him to lose horribly to Snake Pilgrim.]]

[[spoiler:Croctopus was probably the most successful monster in Zoofights' history. Despite never receiving any major upgrades aside from some better power tools and the occasional self-built boat (none of which lasted over a few minutes), he went on to defeat Pride and Prejudice, Sturgeongrad, Brutish Petroleum, and Fists O'Batahan to become the champion of the tournament, and then he destroyed [[BigBad Ouroboros]] to restore the Zoofights timeline.]]

[[spoiler:After a humiliating defeat to Croctopus in round 1, they were modified into a single giant lion with a raingun in its mouth, shooting artificially grown lion heads. E.M.M.A. was able to defeat Newer Labour by the skin of its teeth, using a DesperationMove that shot its own head off. Advancing to the Royal Rumble as Purrslaysion, a floating giant lion head with smaller lion heads orbiting it and armed with laser blasters, it gathered almost no support whatsoever and was immediately killed by Ro-Boto Cop with an axe to the brain.]]

Japan’s entrant this time around was an adorable pink river dolphin. Of course, river dolphins aren’t worth much without some sort of upgrade, so Mr. Ro-Boto sits inside a bipedal mecha tricked out with numerous weapons. Later he exchanges it for a more form-fitting battle suit with laser guns.

One of the more sympathetic monsters Zoofights has seen, Sting Kong has the body of a gorilla, scorpion tails for arms, and the head of a wasp. He was created by a mad scientist on a faraway tropical island, and was left to fend for himself when the scientist succumbed to his own creations. Although he has lots of fighting experience from his time on the island, Sting Kong has only fought to survive. Later on his wasp head is replaced by a Sega Genesis and he becomes closely linked with the original Sega Gorillesis.

The Indian entrant. Patel Industries's finest ship destroyer, Croctopus spent his life before Zoofights breaking down decomissioned boats into scrap metal. “A top quality crocodile with the arms of a top quality octopus”, Croctopus is completely insane (due to his past, he thinks his purpose in life is to build boats) and in possession of many, many power tools. Not a good combination.

!! Pride and Prejudice / E.M.M.A. / Purrslaysion

After some controversy (both in and out of universe) about having human entrants in Zoofights after Zoofights 3’s Two Drunk Guys and Father Leo [=McGarry=], Major Failure instituted a “no humans” rule. That didn’t stop the Zoofights 5 British team from entering Smash Gordon, [[LoopholeAbuse who is a Neanderthal caveman and thus is not quite human]].

Smash Gordon’s pet bulldog, described as much more intelligent than him. Gordon relies on Nelson to help him figure out what to do when not fighting. Nelson proved far more popular than Gordon.

The ever-suffering (still had not won a match by this point) Russia’s entry for Zoofights 5. The Sturgeon General is a truly giant sturgeon attached to the bottom half of a tank (The resulting hybrid is 25 feet tall). [[FanNickname The Sturge]] is an intelligent, calculating creature who, in the words of one spectator, is “probably the absolute sanest being ever to enter Zoofights”. A definite departure from the usual Chaotic Stupid monsters.

* AlternateUniverse / BadFuture
* BigBad: As always in Zoofights, it’s not clear at first, and in Round 2 he even shows an incredibly sympathetic side, but after he [[NotQuiteDead bursts from the wreckage of the Aircraft Carrier Full of Hate]], screaming as [[ObviouslyEvil lightning flashes across the sky and]] [[GlowingEyesOfDoom his dead, unseeing eyes light up the area like lighthouses]], it becomes rather clear that he no longer has good intentions.

* CombatPragmatist: Pretending to be unable to move, blinding his opponent with rage with acts of vandalism, and ''distracting his opponent with an arm-wrestling match'' are some of Smackula’s more notable techniques.

* GoodOldFisticuffs

* BlingOfWar

* FourStarBadass

* MakeMeWannaShout: His main weapon is a jet engine embedded in his throat.
* PowerArmor

* TheStoic

* CoolBike
* [[spoiler:Crack Defeat: One because his opponent was vastly underpowered and one because he had the majority vote but lost to the random number generator.]]

Representing an AfterTheEnd BadFuture New Zealand, The Walrus is a humanoid walrus. That’s it. He’s got a gun and a broken pool cue for offense. Kind of an underdog.

* EldritchAbomination: After returning from deep space, Inquisipede slowly evolves into one-- Elohim.
* AGodAmI
* KnightTemplar (ironic, considering what the Inquisition did to the Templars)

* BigBad
* BodyHorror
* CreateYourOwnVillain
* EldritchAbomination

* JokeCharacter

Mechos is generally recognized as the champion of Zoofights 1 - although there was no clear winner, Mechos and his teammate The Red Banana are among the most popular and remembered of the original tournament - only Swanmass is more recognized.

* CombatTentacles
* DefeatEqualsFriendship}}: Mechos becomes close friends with a gorilla from the team of gorillas that faces him in Round 1. The two of them save each others’ lives as the tournament progresses.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys

* Music/HeavyMetal

Gezora is a giant {{Toku}} squid who tends bar, occasionally with [[{{Deadwood}} Al Swearengen]].

The contestants for Zoofights 1 were not given names initially, although several of them received names towards the end. Most of them are therefore referred to with MeaningfulNames, except when a FanNickname takes hold.

[[spoiler:Despite its numerous powers, The Mess lost out to Project K during the first round. It later fought in the Loser's League, having gained the power of ArmchairPsychology in the process.]]

* [[spoiler:ArmchairPsychology: His loser's league upgrade gave him the ability to use this against enemies.]]

* {{Cannibal}}: "Eats Kobe beef every night. That is f*cked up, man."

* {{Cannibal}}: There WOULD be six of them, but two didn't make it.

The contestants for Zoofights 1 were not given names initially, although several of them received names towards the end. Most of them are therefore referred to with ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin names, except when a FanNickname takes hold.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin / StealthPun: Their name manages to combine both.

* ShoutOut: Maybe to ''WatershipDown''[='s=] [[GrimReaper The Black Rabbit]] and [[BigBad Woundwort]] since he's British and ''NightOfTheLepus'' 'cause he's huge.

* ShoutOut: Mr. Ro-Boto and Sting Kong are just one Shout Out after another – together they reference a few films and several video games, including RoboCop and Mortal Kombat.

* BlatantLies: Every tournament Major Failure assures the audience that nothing will go wrong this year. And every year he's wrong. He was especially insistant about it in Zoofights IV, a year when ''three'' competitors became EldritchAbominations.

* ButtMonkey: Pretty much the ultimate example in the world of Zoofights.

* [[spoiler:OhCrap: We never see the fight, but we certainly hear [=McGarry=] freak the hell out before From Hell obliterates him during the final days of the tournament.]]

* UnstoppableRage: Oh so very much.

* MixAndMatchCritter: Basically everything in Africa that can kill you is in there.

* CrazyPrepared: In round 2, Punchules had apparently been studying {{Batman}} comics, because when his Bane-inspired opponent broke his spine the clever bat revealed he brought a spare.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Literally.

* ThisIsADrill / DropTheHammer / EpicFlail (SpikeBallsOfDoom) / DeadlyDisc: The Pangolins are armed (literally) with drills, hammers, morningstars, and, um, circular saws.

* TakeAThirdOption: The many friendship votes for him and [[spoiler: the Two Badass Pangolins]]. Subverted (of course) when Dio's idea of "friendship" is to [[spoiler: summon Ballz to reunite his brothers in death]].
