@story I'm trying to think of a good way to make a word that sounds like "sisyphean" involving his name.

Stupid unexpected pagetoppers.

Eeyup, half human, half bull. But Iron Will just looks like an anthro-bull. The tie is a nice touch.

Wait. What components make up a minotaurs? 0_0

I'm sure humans are in there

Nope he's still at 500, though he was thinking about moving up to 600. Which is pretty bad since the normal rate for this thread is closer to 900.

@ Ginger: Half man half bull.

Iron Will has fingers, that's about it.

Wait for the r34...

Yeah, it's half human half bull. So, uh, I guess that implies humans are around somewhere. Or were.

Yeah, Kegi checked out as soon as the preview clip popped up. He'll be back tomorrow.

Yeah, that's why I was surprised when he turned out to be a Minotaur. Of course Manticores are also supposed to be part human so maybe they'll just ignore that.

@story Really? I honestly have no idea what one of those is.

I meant in reality.

The lion thing in the pilot was a manticore.

He's half Bull half Diamond Dog

and yeah Manticores are NOT human, there a Lion/Scorpion hybrid, sometimes with some sort of bat like wings added on.

@Seraph The Diamond Dogs are probably my favorite villains. No one else really seems to like them, though.

It's so nice to actually be able to chat again instead of just seeing boring MTG discussions.

I don't see why the creature's mythological origins in our universe would have anything to do with its biological origins in theirs.

Diamond Dogs were cool, I'd like to see them again.

Wikipedia says it's part human.

No story, don't call attention to it or you'll draw its gaze back upon us.

@Perp I'd just like to know what's a manticore is, since I've never heard of it. Greek mythology, I assume?

EDIT: Oh, Persian, cool. I never really learned other mythologies than Greek/Roman.

What are you referring to? The manticore or the thread?

So, there's this Manticore Artifact in Magic. It's got 6 attack and 1 defence and it can deal 3 damage to anything at the beginning of every turn, but you have to discard one card every turn or it dies. IIRC.

Ugh, jeeze that woodcut is ugly...

@Story: I was actually referencing your post about MTG discussions but you had to go and make another post before me so now I just look crazy.

See? This is exactly what I was talking about.

To be fair, I only know about it from Age of Mythology, where they are on the Greek side.

Re: Pony MTG

Rainbow Dash, who hates losing more than most other things, would be primarily a Spike player (and possibly a bit of a Timmy). Rarity would be a Johnny, as would Twilight Sparkle, but for different reasons. Rarity likes to win with style, while Twilight Sparkle prefers to mix up strange combos and see how the different cards complement each other. Pinkie Pie would be pure Timmy, playing cards like Scrambleverse just because it's funny.

Fluttershy doesn't really play, she just collects cards with pictures of cute critters. Applejack doesn't really see the point in any of it.

The Diamond dogs were indeed awesome. We need more villains around their threat level
