You are going into battle against 100 soldiers on the back of a creature, What are you riding?....

Obvious big scaries: fire-breating dragon (too environmentally destructive); Cthulhu (too apocalyptically destructive); Kraken (dies when it surfaces); dracolich (probably wins very easily then takes over the world, starting by raising a unit of 100 undead soldiers with assault rifles); sonar worm from Half Life (utterly bulletproof and grenade proof but riding it would be fatal too and they might just retreat); something that sprays out Tyrannobdella rex [http://news.discovery.com/animals/leech-with-enormous-teeth-discovered.html] (just not practical); my daggerfall character (too easy); a green worm mass (too corrosive); one of the Nephilim (we don't know enough to make such a choice); the boar god from Princess Mononoke (too pig-headed); Megalodon Landshark (Fine unless he's chewing on an air bottle or a mains cable, right?); Luke Skywalker (which makes me Yoda and the enemy f_____!) and finally the great and terrible Gelatinous Cube (which is horribly lost in a forest with no solid ceiling and would digest my legs, so no).
I think it has to be the Jedi.
Oh, hey ... Ancient Olthoi Queen.
You know the Alien Queen?
Imagine her with extra arms, each tipped with a five foot blade, and ... followers. Not the little walktopus things and the occasional warrior from the movie but followers in the numbers you'd expect from a Queen Ant. Yes, Ant. All she has to do is smell like she wants a thousand scary eight-foot-tall giant ants and a thousand even scarier four-foot-tall giant ants to come boiling up out of the ground, rush through the forest and shred the intruding mammals and it'll happen, with some really gory special effects, too. They call the wide red ones Eviscerators because that's what they do. The same applies to the Mutilators.
Of course, then I have to come up with a way to not get the same treatment.
Then the forest is full of giant ants and my people can no longer live or forage there.
Then it becomes a wasteland of giant ant nests, the fungi they tend (yes, they're gardener ants as well as army ants and slavedriver ants) and the steam vents from the deep tunnels they dig (yes, they're miner ants too) and noone would want to live there anyway.
Okay, back to the Jedi. Can I ride the Jedi?
How about a Tardis? Does that count?

The Star Forge...
It's practically a living thing...
Then I just send out an infinite fleet manned by droids.

Hmmm. I can think of so many things that would kill them instantly. In the interest of cool, I say... A dragon. I just love dragons.ddon said:
