Okay mythic woodcamprs, lets get this on!!!!

1. Le Melee

Ancient Fear has a larger number and variety of melee weapons. Stiletto knife, brass knucks, mafia ice picks, all of which are superb melee devices. However, he also has a sword, knife and garotte that have shape shifting capabilities, and the Garotte can slither back to him, without his needing to retrieve it in the heat of battle.

Keratosis fires back, literally, with gauntlets and an axe of flame, not to mention a syringe that can increase his physical power (and, when the juice within is gone, could be utilized as a melee weapon in its own right). However, the garotte (which can morph into a 20 ft long weapon) and his medo blade (in whip form at least, seems likely to outdistance the fire axe (more ibnformation is needed) will outrange the melee devices of Mr. Keratosis.

EDGE: Ancient Fear

2. Long range

Ancient fear seems to rely on mass swarm projectile strikes: the malice shot can create a horde of gloves that can themsevles create weapons, while the eye can launch firestorms in teh shape of critters and bat attacks. he can even summon a horde of razor fanged, razor clawed bats himself without need of the eye. These particular bats he summons on his own can turn into hunting horros from the Cthulhu mythos: the appearance of monsters from that mythos often cause devistating mania and even death. This gives ancient fea rone heck of a psychological weapons advantage.

Keratosis has a wide variety of projectile weapons that are devistating in their own right, but not one of them has the vast swarming effect and variety of death dealing effexctiveness as Ancient Fear's weapons.

EDGE: Ancient Fear

3. Magic

Squids, pee, that's fair and goody enough, but Ancient Fear's fear magic will bring Keratosis down for the count. Combined with his huntign horror bats, his victory is all but 100% assured. fear can cripple without wound

EDGE: Ancient Fear

4. Mounts

Ancient fear's mount can shape shift to mountain sized forms, and most of the shapes it takes are of vast creatures, even flyhing ones. Kertosis' mount is a mixture of power animals (jaguar, ostrich, squid), yet it cannot fly nor generate lightning or hurricans to surround it, nor can it change form.

EDGE: Ancient Fear

Ancient Fear wins this hands down; he dominates in melee and long range weaponry, he has the more devistating magical prowess, and his mount is powerful enough to crush Keratosis without the need of Ancient fear...NO CONTEST

ANCIENT FEAR FLATTENS TO A PULP SCUDDERS P. KERATOSIS (AND IS HOME IN TIME FOR TEA AND CORNFLAKES)!!!!!!!
