Pygmy Hippo's "The Very Beginning vs. The Grand Finale" Edges

Offense:The Ghoul's arsenal is a lot more conventional than supernatural. Claws, teeth, and a paralyzing touch that likely isn't going to affect other supernatural beings. Slendy has longer range with his tendrils, mental attacks with the Slender Sickness, and of course, one of the Ghoul's own weaknesses in pyrokinesis. Edge:Slender Man

Defense:Slendy has teleportation and the ability to stalk people with complete ease. Unfortunately, the Ghoul's shapeshifting doubles as an attack in some cases, it can regenerate from any injury that isn't decapitation, and can even grow more powerful from eating people. Edge:Arabian Ghoul

X-Factors:The Ghoul takes Brutality and ties in Physicality. Slender Man takes Intelligence and Versatility. Edge:Slender Man

Final Verdict:I've always loved mythological beasts from the Greeks, Egyptians, and the Norse but I've had a recent soft spot for the modern virtual horror genre ranging from When They Cry and Outlast to Five Nights at Freddy's. But I have to admit, I'm not an expert at either of these two but I can tell that Slender Man is going to win. The Arabian Ghoul has better shapeshifting but other than that, it's outclassed in the range and variety of attacks. Add in that it's likely to get outsmarted as well and it's clear that the faceless stalker wins.

Winner:Slender Man
