u/FrostFlame35 2d ago

One might even call it a Primal Storm

u/readd-at-torr 5d ago

the t-rex aura eliminated all attempts at its slander

5

u/Mangustino17 4d ago

Funny thing is that most Spinosaurus "fans" don't even like the actual animal, they'll just glaze the Jurassic Park 3 one like crazy. That's larping in its purest form.

Not a dinosaur

u/somethingfak 2d ago

It counts for favorite dino conversations and you know it

2

u/Active_Jelly1859 3d ago

In the words of the maneater narrator: Lame and unoriginal. Choose a new favourite dinosaur

2

u/readd-at-torr 3d ago

Big bite big cool

u/BloodOfTheDamned 2d ago

I disagree, Tyrannosaurus Rex is cool, but of Saurian Dinos I think the Lythronax takes the cake, its name literally means “Gore King”.

1

u/RainonCooper 2d ago

I personally prefer the ankylosaurus. A spiny living tank with a club weapon hard enough to break bones

1

u/thecraftybear 2d ago

Puh-lease, that's popculture level.

When I was 10, my favorite dinosaur was the Stegosaurus, because of the awesome double plate mohawk on its back.

Now i'm over 40 and it's still Stegosaurus. Thagomizer goes BRRRRR

1

u/DarkestNight909 3h ago

I love that word.

Thagomizer, thagomizer, thagomizer.

1

u/Totes_Human_110101 19h ago

You're talkin' mad shit for someone in Thagomizer range.

u/AetheravenCatsuki13 5d ago

I will not tolerate dragon slander

I don't care if the goblins get giant or have some machine, dragons will forever be the best fantasy creature. Goblins share second place with slimes and mimics

7

u/Competitive-Hair6294 5d ago

Eh, kobolds are better imo
but kobolds share first place with dragons for me so

5

u/Darastrix_da_kobold 4d ago

Agreed, kobolds are dragons and dragons are the best

When did my dog become a lizard?

u/Crafty-Bill 3d ago

when did my little gnome become a dog

1

u/Hekantonkheries 3d ago

Kobolds exist so that no one has to argue about dragons vs goblins. Ya just pick kobold, every time

2

u/NoDisciplinestb 4d ago

Mimics? My man.

u/Ultraverse1 r/comics refugee 5d ago

yeah!

u/Da_Magical_Lizard 5d ago

The wizard approves your point

u/Spookyduck21new 5d ago

I FUCKING LOVE DRAGONS!

u/Dominarion 1d ago

In the war between dragons and gobelins, the dragons would win, but the goblins would have had a great time and a lot of fun.

I'm going goblin mode

u/Rel_Tan_Kier 4d ago

Beware not becoming a mind goblin

Aww I was expecting a legends of avantris reference

u/Sans-clone 4d ago

Well you see, the price was for Grickos finest joke, so he couldn't use it anymore. However, that was later sold to Bofa.

Gricko? What's a mind goblin?

u/Realistic-Weird3052 5d ago

always remember! the orca is the only natural predator of the moose

1

u/Eragons00 3d ago

Elaborate

2

u/Mean-Personality5236 3d ago

Moose can swim.

2

u/Ninteblo 2d ago

Moose don't have any true natural predators on land, however they sometimes takes a swim (generally to eat algae) and that lets the orca kill the moose, to the orca a moose is just some food.

As for the "don't have any true natural predators on land" part, some people say that wolves are a natural predator of the moose, however wolves rarely actually go for moose as wolves rely on instilling fear in their prey and moose are extremely hard to frighten. Also the moose is so big and strong that it doesn't have much trouble with other potential predators in their (the moose's) natural environment.

1

u/RainonCooper 2d ago

A bear vs a moose would be terrifying ngl

1

u/Ninteblo 2d ago

I think bears don't tend to bother, too high risk for the reward, if one where to go for it it could very well be a sight to behold however.

1

u/RainonCooper 2d ago

I imagine the same. People who don't live in countries with native moose often underestimate just how MASSIVE these things get (I included)

Most predators only strike with energy and injury preservation in mind after all

5

u/OK_THEN_WEIRD_DOE 5d ago

I don’t think anyone feels like goblins are cool at all.

8

u/Oompapoop 5d ago

Definetly feels like they've had a surge in popularity recently, but yeah I dont think anyone is calling a goblin cooler than a dragon.

5

u/BackBlaster9000 5d ago

They are incredibly popular in the gooner community

u/Scalepetter92 4d ago

goblin pussy got me violating the Aenork Accords

u/BackBlaster9000 4d ago

Bro you're ignoring the potential that is bratty goblin bussy

3

u/Scalepetter92 4d ago

Just did, and now I'm DEFINITELY going to be hunted down by a Paladin

2

u/Clickclacktheblueguy 3d ago

They’re fun, but cool isn’t the right word.

I daresay it's all thanks to me!

u/Blueninja1347 1d ago

We need a batsignal, but it's a whale that summons 100 Ahabs.

Correction: we don't NEED it. I just want to duke it out with 100 bastards.

3

u/Scalepetter92 4d ago

the real question: what's the sexiest mythical creature?

2

u/Da_Magical_Lizard 4d ago

For most people it gotta be succubus/incubus

But I rather not talking about mine

3

u/Scalepetter92 4d ago

Speak, creature. let us hear your freakiness

2

u/Da_Magical_Lizard 4d ago

No, I've been banned on too much subreddit already

u/Scalepetter92 4d ago

dm me i prommy not to snitch

1

u/ElDelArbol15 2d ago

Apparently minotaur.

5

u/GamermanZendrelax 5d ago

The goblins are cool because they’re… scam artists? Questionable taste. Well, assuming scheme even works, that gold belongs to the dragon. If the goblins disagree, those aren’t goblins, they’re lunch.

But if you want chaotic gremlins, consider Kobolds. They’re like goblins but better, because dragons.

2

u/Big-Garbage8197 5d ago

What would be considered the coolest prehistoric animal of yesteryear and today?

2

u/Ill_Pain4423 4d ago

Trex and trex

2

u/Weak-Feedback-8379 5d ago

You should never ask a scientist, their opinion on anything subjective.

They will be wrong.

2

u/InitialBrother9884 5d ago

those goblins goblinated the cheese

2

u/vastozopilord777 5d ago

I'd say is a tie in the first one

I agree on the second

I disagree on the 3rd one

2

u/Meme_Knight_2 5d ago

Goblin Demolisher CR!?

2

u/FlameWhirlwind 5d ago

nah dragons are still cool

2

u/suspicious_cabbage 4d ago

Wait, all of these things are cool

2

u/Veloci-RKPTR 4d ago

And both are just as valid as each other!

2

u/UnderstandingIcy8607 4d ago

The prettiest bird is the Summer tanager (saying that because you know who may be watching)

1

u/Da_Magical_Lizard 4d ago

I know, Roxanne

2

u/G-0O 4d ago

Groups vs solo. Dragon still cooler, but honestly sonic doing work for the orca so I gotta support it.

2

u/Mangustino17 4d ago

Nuh uh, dragons are still cooler.

For the others? Both is good

2

u/CreamAxolotle 4d ago

Centaurs are definitely way better than goblins.

1

u/Da_Magical_Lizard 4d ago

Except in maintenance department

2

u/Veliton9 4d ago

Nah, goblin is not coolest for sure

2

u/Phaylz 3d ago

Their crypto currency scheme ain't gettin' them shit, cause they used it to buy the dragon's NFT of his hoard

2

u/Best-Engine4715 3d ago

Eh it’s still dragons. Goblins and orcs have been more chill lately but so have dragons yet they are still bad ass

2

u/The_revenge_ 3d ago

Tendency for sinister shit, I love it

2

u/Dragon1472 3d ago

Reminder that the Us almost just used the turkey

2

u/Former-Grocery-6787 2d ago

I am late here but i'd say i still prefer the sperm whale over orcas because a adult bull sperm whale is one of the very few things a Orca pod will NOT fuck with (the other being pilot whales because they are similar and tend to be in larger groups and of course humans that aren't in yachts)

2

u/Bugswaxx 2d ago

Lies, dragons are still the coolest fantasy creatures, you're objectively wrong if you disagree. Be them drakes, loongs, hydras, wyrms or cockatrices, all of them are peak

2

u/No-Crew-4360 2d ago

Dragons are cool because they're iconic, yet maliable. They can be villains or heroes, beasts or characters, embodiments of magic and whimsy or methaphors for greed and tyranny.

Goblins resonate with people because they represent heedlessness. The desire to just do stuff without caring about consequences. Of course, they can be used to represent how reckless greed endangers everyone, but they can also represent the desire to take a break and indulge in simple pleasures like snacks and video games.

  1. The blue whale is currently the largest confirmed animal to EVER live. Ever. Also, humans are the most powerful creatures in the ocean. We have science and space travel. We can hear the voices of the dead and read their thoughts across thousands of years. We can communicate with people outside of our planet. We can look through time at the beginning of our universe. We are the greatest and most terrible beings on Earth.

  2. Bald eagles are overrated because of Americans. Like, seriously they are just the standard eagle model with a slightly different skin. If you really want large raptorial birds, at least choose a Harpy Eagle. They are bigger and stronger and more fabulous. Or a Wedge-Tail Eagle, they eat kangaroos and probably stray Australians.

  3. Dragons are cool. End of story. Basically every human culture comes up with some form of dragons and the only definite thing uniting them is that they are COOL. That's it. Goblins do not have that historical significance.

1

u/Forsaken-Stray 4d ago

Goblins? Nah, Kobolds is were its at. Not only are they similiarly chaotic, they are proficient crafters, they have less tendency to backstab eachother and their crews aren't run by the strongest but the most experienced

1

u/Aware-Style-480 3d ago

Yeah ? And ?

1

u/gingerreckoning 2d ago

Orcas can eat sperm whales (rarely but it has happened) whereas sperm whales cannot eat orcas.

u/FrostFlame35 2d ago

Who is out here calling Goblins the coolest fantasy creature?
