Title: Water-dwelling monsters
Post by: BadgerLordFiredrake on November 18, 2013, 04:30:57 PM
In a bunch of books, there are monsters that live in the water.  Any ideas if they're related, freaks of nature what?  I can't seem to remember to books, but I know one is in High Rhulain.

The one in High Rhulain is called the Slothinoug, or something like that...I can't remember any other ones off hand, though. :-\

I believe he is refering to creatures such as The Deepcoiler and Snakefish.  ;)

I think he's meaning all of those.

Yeah...that too.  ;D. Anyway, I doubt any of the others were related the Slothy.

I think the one from High Rhulain was just a living dinosaur or something. The others are all just really big, rare, or strange animals. I don't think they're related.

How on earth could a hare take down a dinosaur?

Because he is a hare and hares are awesome, therefore he was awesome, and his awesomeness was greater than that of the dinosaur. He out awesomed his enemy. His awesomeicity saved the day. It's a ratio, really, the dinosaur had 87% awesome and Frunk had 99543% awesome. That overgrown lizard didn't stand a chance, let's be honest here.

Hehe.

The Snakefish scene was creepy to me.  It made my skin crawl.

.......Does anybody else have a REASONABLE, PRATICAL and RATHER ACSEPTIBLE theory? ;D

I have already stated my reasonable, practical explanation but I will state it again: Anything will die if you stab it through the brain

If you guys want to be boring. ;D Stabbing somebeast through the brain is a surefire way to kill 'em, unless they've got the bloodwrath. Then it might take three or four attempts, I imagine. I accept your theory, Jet.

Major Frunk, was in the middle of a serious Bloodwrath attack when he took down the dinosaur (forgotten how to spell its name) And he stabbed it in the brain, and throat. And the creature couldn't stop him, b/c he was on its back. Simples.  ;D

Do you think the water-dwelling monsters were based on the Loch-Ness monster in Scotland? That might be what Brian Jacques was trying to imitate.

I'm pretty sure Slothanog was based off Nessy.  ;)

Hmmm....well, Slothanog could just have been a complete creation of BJ. But it might have been based off Nessie.

I can't remember the exact description, but on the map at the front of the book it sports an image similar.
