Universal Monsters vs wild animals (who would win ?)

[Gorn Captain]

Are you guys aware that the Wolf Man was actually going to wrestle a bear in the 1941 film?

Those scenes were filmed (there are photos of it left), but they felt it was too violent. Animal cruelty was no problem in those days...

Hell Cow, appeared in Howard the Duck.

That would be Bessie, the Hell Cow...LOL!

What if the bear ate the werewolf?
Would it turn werewolf also?

after the battle I'm getting a vision of South Park's "Manbearpig"

>surely a grizzly could decapitate a werewolf with one blow from it's paw

That's a tricky one. Werewolves are said to be immune to damage from non-silver weapons.... but what exactly does that mean? It's possible (if we adhere to this notion) that a bear swipe wouldn't be able to damage the werewolf at all, (but could knock him around) or would inflict damage that healed extremely rapidly and had no tangible effect, or would take the head right off which wouldn't affect the werewolf. (Maybe 'cos it could be put back on, or would slink back together a-la "Monster Squad," or would eventually heal.)

I hate to break it to you...but we are...

Well, I'm certainly right there with you, GC.

I know about werewolves and silver, but surely a grizzly could decapitate a werewolf with one blow from it's paw. I mean, werewolves are still made of muscle and bone, right? Do we have any monster biologists here on the boards to help us out with a ruling on this? Where's Wayne Barlowe when you need him?

BTW, we all sound like huge nerds.

Whenever we have visitors, and they see all the toys, and they ask "how old are your kids?", I just have to grin sheepishly and explain why a 45 year old guy plays with dolls...

>Dracula vs a rhino

Hmmmm.... I think Drac would be fast enough to avoid it, but probably couldn't inflict any real damage. Unless his hypnotism worked on it, I'd say draw.

>Frankenstein vs a lion

Interesting.... the lion would be faster, but if Frankenstein (I'm assuming you mean the monster and not the doc....) got ahold of it, he could probably rend a lion pretty easily. I think Frank would take some damage, but would ultimately win.

>Mummy vs a bull

Another odd choice.... The bull would definitely have the physical edge, although I don't know if the mummy would/could take lasting damage from physical attacks. If you go back to the Karloff one, he didn't actually have to fight you; he sort of squinted at you in his scrying pool and you died. It's also possible he'd have power over a bull. This one I can't call.

>Wolfman vs a grizzly bear

Wolfman. Physically they'd be on par (although the Wolfman is probably faster) but only silver harms a werewolf.

What's it called?
Count Mooh-ula?

Hell Cow, appeared in Howard the Duck.

Dracula losing to a Rhino?...Seriously? He can turn into mist or a bat for Pete's sake.

I think that would just slow down the inevitable trampling/goring he'd get from the rhino. Unless he changed into a mist, entered the rhino's lungs, then solidified into some form, suffocating the beast.

Dracula's powers worked on a cow.

I've been hearing a lot lately that Hippos are one of the most aggressive and dangerous large animals, but "Hippopotamus Vs. Dracula" doesn't have much of a ring to it.
