ruzuzu Those soldier animals are always welcome to enlist over on oh-yeah--you-and-what-army (assuming I haven't already yoinked them). Dec 5, 2012
fbharjo And then there are weaponized plants....infant tree???? Dec 5, 2012
deinonychus Sure, go ahead and add them if you like. I think the best animals are the ones where I can imagine som sort of cyborg monster (like, the knife-footed frog is a frog with actual knives for feet) but other violent animals are also welcome. Dec 5, 2012
ry Would the various "soldier" animals belong here? E.g., soldier beetle soldier fly, soldier fish, soldier crab, soldier bug etc. Dec 5, 2012
deinonychus I couldn't help making another list now, with zoomorphic-weapons... Nov 17, 2012
deinonychus Honorable mention: flail snail (found when exploring the addictive prefix search of Wikipedia.) Nov 17, 2012
deinonychus Ooh, thanks for the kukri snake, I would never have found that myself since I didn't know what a kukri was. Nov 14, 2012
Wordplayer sawfish for an improvised weapon, archerfish, crown-of-thorns starfish, kukri snake Nov 13, 2012
deinonychus Glad you all like it! And, of course, feel free to add your combatants.
(The club-foot whiting might be more dangerous than you think...) Nov 13, 2012
hernesheir archer-fish, dart-snake? Nov 13, 2012
hernesheir Great list, reminiscent (to me) of the Bird Fish and Organism Orchestra lists. Nov 13, 2012
sionnach This is indeed an awesome list. I feel a host of regrettable jokes bubbling up, like "Don't bring a jack-knife fish to a pistol shrimp fight".
But I wonder if maybe the club-foot whiting might not feel out of place on this list? Nov 13, 2012
ruzuzu What a great list! Nov 13, 2012
