I hate to be contrary but you just can't beat the Queen of Blades, there's nothing more satisfying than hotkeying your hives and important buildings then covering your entire base with Overlords so your enemey can't see what you're doing. Build up your base and your force, any attack by another player will target the Overlords first, and they're expendable . . . then, when you're ready, there's nothing scarier than moving the whole Overlord-Horde slowly, menacingly towards your enemy base, your entire land army hidden beneath them. What does your opponent see? A zergling here, a hydralisk there? No way to know for sure what's coming.
Of course agaisnt the AI this strategy is a pointless waste of resources, and though it can work in a rush game it's really best saved for "no rush" but when it does happen it's pwnsome! ;D

The closest the Protoss come is an invisible carrier swarm, and the best the Terrans can pull off is a mid-base siege tank drop. Both are effective but neither as totally jaw droppingly awesome as seeing the full force of the swarm creeping meaninfully towards your base.

Unless you play Brood War, then the Protoss just downright own because they can do all 3, but meh, none of my friends have Brood War so I never use it.




. . .



Oh wait, we're talking about Animorphs and battle morphs! Um . . . um . . . I would totally morph an infested Terran. I'd be a blast at parties!

I thought we were supposed to be saying "my animal could kick your animal's butt!"

Hmm.  Tough choice for me.  I like maneuverability and stealth more than anything else.

Puma would be cool.  Panther, yep.  But if you want sheer size-to-butt-kicking ratio: Mellivora capensis, the killer honey badger.

Quote from: Wikipedia
A popular internet video shows a honey badger bitten by a puff adder, one of the honey badger's preferred venomous snakes. The badger becomes paralyzed for about 5 minutes. Once its paralysis has subsided, the honey badger continues with its meal and resumes its journey. Even more tenaciously, the honey badger steals the snake's kill, and eats it for itself before continuing to hunt the snake. This ferocious nature of the badger has earned it its image as a formidable opponent.

Sweet.

I have very severe case of "ooh, I must acquire that" for Bubo virginianus and/or Tyto alba.  Large, silent, nocturnal.  Not really a fighter, but still very, very cool.

But, with all that considered, I'd pick Panthera onca.

I'm surprised not many people have chosen Hork Bajir! That would be my first choice. I'm sure that martial arts could be effectively applied towards them. They are fast, intimidating, and very similar to humans. Plus, they could attack from within a Yeerk regiment of Hork Bajir, creating more chaos and confusion.

And I'm surprised no one's said this: An Antarean Bogg.

Hey, Tiger sure, Anda-Bajir definately, but diffrent morphs would be needed for different situations so I think everyone should have an "Antarean Bogg morph for . . . taking a bite out of yourenemies."

They touch it and acquire it, duh  ::)

Seriously though? Genetic engineering, stop bothering with the mammoth, the mammoth ain't worth the trouble, revive the Bogg!

I would steal either Cassie's or Jake's.  I love wolves, and I think their awesome, but I think a tiger could do more damage.  So, probably tiger for me.  And if it can't be an Animorphs, probably a lion.

A lynx. I have seen one in wild once and I will never forget that. Or find words to describe it...

A lynx?  Good luck taking a bullet/dracon beam/Horky blade with that.

It's a glorified housecat!

A liger.

Yes it is a real hybrid that has been made not some crap made up on Nepolean Dynamite.
Plus it is pretty large because it has a genetic sideaffect of largness. Don't ask me how it is supposed to work.

Liger's are bigger, sure.  Not sure there'd be any real advantage over a tiger or lion themselves, though.  Probably not enough size difference to matter much.
