BG1's "Monster Inc." Edges:

Werewolf vs Tatzelwurm vs Dingonek
Short Range: The Tatzelwurm's bite is a double-edged weapon - if the bite don't kill you then the poison in it will EDGE: Tatzelwurm

Medium Range: Comparing claws to a horn is like comparing a trident to a sword - the horn can easily kill in one hit and has a longer 'blade' than the claws but the claws are more devastating (the more sharp points, the more devastating the kill) EDGE: Even

Special/X-Factor: The werewolf's senses may be good as he may be able to smell the poison coming from the dingonek and perhaps hear the tatzelwurm and dingonek sneak towards him but he has that one major disadvantage of turning into a human when the sun goes up which I guess is how the battle might proceed. The tatzelwurm's scales give it enough protection against any attack from the other two animals but since the scales and tails are from a snake, the tatzelwurm might be weighed down and have the same speed (if not slower) than a snake. The dingonek's poison tail is great against the werewolf if the werewolf doesn't smell it coming and against the tatzelwurm, the dingonek will have to hit it in an unscaled area. In the end I may have to give this to the tatzelwurm for being like a walking tank with those scales and large tail. Sure the dingonek has scales too but not enough to defend itself like the Tatzelwurm. EDGE: Tatzelwurm

Winner: Looking at the edges, the Tatzelwurm wins this but I have to give this to the dingonek; while the Tatzelwurm is a walking tank with good protection, it has the limited slow movement of a snake - that's ok if the Tatzelwurm plans an ambush attack but other than that, the scales and tail are a hindrance

Mothman vs Kongmoto vs Owlman
Short Range: Claws, beak and teeth... well the claws here win out for their superior range when it comes to attacking. EDGE: Mothman

Medium Range: The shriek here has a very far outstanding range than the claws plus it has the effect of making Kongmoto and Owlman not use their claws to attack. EDGE: Mothman

Special/X-Factor: In terms of wings, I would have to say that Mothman's wings are not only used just for transportation but also for attack since they are big enough to batter someone down. The other two flyers have the same type of wings but they aren't as big or sharp as mothman's EDGE: Mothman

Winner: Easily, this one goes to the Mothman for gaining all the weapon edges plus his advantage in size and perhaps brutal animal instinct.

Sasquatch vs Agogwe vs Yeti
Short Range: The Sasquatch and Yeti have larger hands that allow for a more crushing defeat but against each other, then... I don't really know which monster has the greater hands - its what they do with them that counts. EDGE: Even

Medium Range: The boulders are very good projectile weapons but they can be easily dodged or, in the case of the yeti, caught. The yeti is bigger meaning he may be able to wield bigger sticks allowing for perhaps better use as a clubbing weapon or, if the Yeti's intelligence allows it, to shape it into a very large spear. EDGE: Yeti

Special/X-Factor: All of them would perhaps have an equal level of intelligence but I would have to say that the Agogwe may have an intelligence similar to that of a normal human being and that the Sasquatch and Yeti are primarily driven by animal instinct. I think in the end, the combination of primal instinct and human (maybe sub-human-but-still-human) intelligence means that the Yeti and Sasquatch would easily overcome the Agogwe but between the two, again its what the monsters do with their intelligence that matters EDGE: Even

Winner: The Yeti is a very ferocious creature but put it in a terrain that is not mountainous or perhaps snowy and it perhaps has a disadvantage due to its large amounts of fur meant for protection against the cold. Between the Agogwe and the Sasquatch, then this is a 'David vs Goliath' battle again but 'Goliath' is a bit smarter. Therefore the winner of this category is the Sasquatch

Chupacabra vs Bunyip vs Beast of Bodmin
Short Range: All the creatures here have sharp teeth - but the Bunyip and Beast of Bodmin have more of them, and the Bunyip has the larger set of them. EDGE: Bunyip

Medium Range: With regards to each set of claws, the Chupacabra would definitely have the sharper claws out of the three but then again, the Bunyip has the larger claws. EDGE: Even

Special/X-Factor: Chupacabra's spike act as a very good defensive measure especially against the Beast of Bodmin. The screams of the Bunyip might instil fear and perhaps cause the same effects as the shriek of the Mothman. Also both Beast of Bodmin and Chupacabra have night vision which means they may be able to spot each other and perhaps the Bunyip but I have the edge to Bunyip due to his more terrifying appearance. Also the bunyip may have the thicker skin meaning that it crushing the chupacabra may hurt the bunyip but not kill it. EDGE: Bunyip

Winner: The Bunyip since it is more intimidating and more ferocious than the Bodmin cat or the tiny chupacabra plus (also said by SPARTAN) its ambush tactics that contribute to the intimidation factor

Manipogo vs Mokele Mbembe vs Heavenly Lake Monster
Short Range: The stomp of the Mokele can stop the other two river monsters from opening their mouths but if the teeth are bared open, then the stomp may not do good. As for the teeth, I don't have a clear picture about how many teeth the Heavenly Lake monster has but I will assume it is about the same as the Manipogo EDGE: Even

Medium Range: All three of them have very deadly tails but I am assuming that fact for the Heavenly Lake Monster. And I also assume that all the tails are of the same (if not similar) extremely long length. EDGE: Even

Special/X-Factor: The Mokele easily takes this because while all three are the same length (the manipogo is wider than the other two monsters), the Mokele has a more aggressive and violent primal instinct that would make it trump over the Heavenly Lake Monster and Manipogo since the two come out only when necessary EDGE: Mokelo

Winner: As SPARTAN stated, the Mokelo is the winner here as it is the more adaptive creature being able to attack on both land and water. And despite its stomp's weakness against the teeth, I can see the Mokelo use its tail to snap the jaws of the other creatures shut then stomping on them

So we have these creatures in the end: Dingonek, Sasquatch, Mothman, Mokelo, Bunyip - 3 Afro-Australia, 2 American. Well we can see somethings happen here. The first to go would be the Sasquatch because, despite its smarts, it will fail to effectively attack the larger Mokelo or the ambushes of the Bunyip. The Dingonek may be next due to its lack of protection and despite the poison, it wouldn't be able to reach Mothman. So we have Mothman vs Bunyip and Mokelo - an air creature vs a water and amphibious creature - well the Mothman has to come down to attack its prey and that would allow either the Bunyip to catch it with its claws or (if the mothman gets away and/or kills the Bunyip) the Mokele snatching the legs of the Mothman just as it flies away with its tail (or perhaps its mouth if its big enough?). Therefore the winners would be the Afro-American Cryptids
