User blog:Pygmy Hippo 2/Ancient Terror Part 2:Carver (Blair Witch) vs. Champawat Tiger (Real World)

The wilderness is full of horror stories about what lives in forests or jungles and what they'll do to whoever wanders in. This is common throughout fiction and reality with either deranged lunatics or monstrous beasts waiting to kill or devour the poor souls that they find. Today two of those beings shall clash for the right to claim the title of the most terrifying woodland killer.

Carver or Ellis Lynch, a former military soldier and police officer who kills and kidnaps for the Blair Witch in Burkittsville!

The Champawat Tiger, the infamous Bengal maneater of India and Nepal who eats humans in the daytime!

Who is Deadliest?

Carver
"Or what? You'll kill me? Killing is always the solution, isn't it? But you're far too weak... Too scared. Your hands are trembling, even now." "You're just a lamb to the slaughter. Pathetic. Get up! Fight. Do what she demands!... (insane chuckle) No, you're not. You ARE me. I'm all you've ever had. I am what you become."-Carver to Ellis Lynch

Bio:Carver is the future version of Ellis Lynch who has lost his mind to the Blair Witch's influence and his PTSD from his military and police careers. He now carries out her will to kill even former friends and kidnap children to lure his former self to him. He has an obsession with skinning animals and people and likes making the Witch's symbols. Carver's end goal is to lead Ellis down the path to becoming him so that he can finally rest after he kills him. But if Ellis rejects the Witch, he inadvertently breaks the cycle himself by stabbing his past self, mortally wounding him, before dissapearing.

Primary Weapon:Ka-Bar Knife

Carver's blade is 11 inches long, weighs 0.7 pounds, and is made out of steel with a clip-point perfect for stabbing victims, gutting deer, slitting throats, and skinning flesh but he can be disarmed.

Secondary Weapon:Hands

Carver's bare hands with five fingers are more than enough to overpower most victims, even ripping an axe out of a man's hands with one hand, and he can even take a pistol shot to the body without stopping.

Special:Witch Totems

Carver has made several of these crude wooden sculptures that he hangs from trees in the woods, doesn't seem to have much use but considering animals like dogs are afraid of them and stay away from them...

Champawat Tiger
"I had spent many nights in the jungle looking for game, but this was the first time I had ever spent a night looking for a man-eater. The length of road immediately in front of me was brilliantly lit by the moon, but to right and left the overhanging trees cast dark shadows, and when the night wind agitated the branches and the shadows moved, I saw a dozen tigers advancing on me, and bitterly regretted the impulse that had induced me to place myself at the man-eater's mercy."-Jim Corbett

Bio:The Champawat Tiger is perhaps the deadliest man eating animal of all time with an estimated 436 deaths attributed to her. A Bengal tigress who had her teeth broken by bullets, she couldn't hunt natural prey anymore and moved to humans in Nepal. After evading hunters and being chased by the army into India, the Tiger would kill her victims in broad daylight and her roars terrorized the populace until Jim Corbett hunted her down after killing a 16-year old girl and with the help of a village-organized beat, finally put an end to her reign of terror by shooting her dead.

Primary Weapon:Damaged Teeth

The Tiger's fangs are 3 inches long and she can bite down with a force of 1,050 PSI but they are made out of bones and can be broken as one tooth on her upper and lower jaws show.

Secondary Weapon:Claws

The Tiger's paws have 4 inch retractable razor-sharp claws that can grasp and hold onto prey and she can leap up to 30 feet with them along with being able to run 35-40 MPH in short bursts.

Special:Enhanced Senses

The Tiger has night vision to see in the dark, whiskers to tell her where to bite, can hear high-frequency sounds like from her victims, and can smell her prey although that sense is the weakest.

X-Factors
Experience:Carver is trained in field dressing and other things by the U.S. Army and Burkittsville police force and has killed a sheriff and veteran with almost no difficulty along with possibly dozens of other victims. The Champawat Tiger didn't always hunt humans and it's likely that she hunted down and killed Chital and Sambar deer, gaur bovines, and wild boars along with possibly some other predators like crocodiles and bears.

Tactics:Carver catched the sheriff off-guard and uses the environment to kill sometimes like a table saw with the veteran. He's a master of getting people to do what he wants with threats but can just chase his victims down if he feels like it. The Champawat Tiger is an expert ambush predator like other big cats and can stalk and sneak up on victims before killing them with a throat bite. She would probably resort to grappling in a head-on fight however.

Weaknesses:Carver is completely insane to the point that he doesn't care about his own safety and will do anything the Witch wants, including letting Ellis kill him, and prone to fits of rage that can cause him to doom himself anyways. The Champawat Tiger's broken teeth obviously cause her great pain and she isn't used to prey that fights back any more, preferring to avoid armed humans if possible.
