Yakslapper. Doesn't necessarily invoke fear, does it?

Slapping the Yak... euphemisms abound!

Wow,they're not exactly inspiring. You kinda wonder if they just picked them at random.

How is it you know the list? I don't see it on the site yet.

Fleshweaver AND Fleshcleaver? That's redundant...and kinda unorigional. What about like Gorgon Fleshbeaver? I could live with that. Yeah...I'm starting to regret being really wasted when I entered because this contest sounded easy to win

then your creativity should have flourished with the 'liquid courage' Im still routing to see Gurru Trollsmasher ... come on Anet ... you know you want to. Poor Alex and Gaile are plagued by these guys ... make the enemies a giant with a gw t-shirt ripped on the arms and a mullet.

just thought of an edit ... he could have a monster only skill like giant stomp but it could be called UAS gas - "for 4 seconds nearby foes are struck by poison and cannot communicate (whine), and all player skills are blacked out"

Forgerunner! My entry did it! The strange thing is, I was thinking more along the lines of wheel of time seanchan forerunners/forgerunners. For some reason the rushers never caught on. Anyway, 4 more character slots for me!! :P Thank you ANET!!

Lol, you know what would be cool? If you get a quest for Sorrow's Furnace saying "go outside of town and kill Tarnok Forgerunner". Then you go out and hit him, but instead of fighting back, he turns of Mending, Balanced Stance, and Charge and and then starts running away, and you have to chase him all the way through Lornar's Pass (previews and clues seem to hint that Sorrow's Furnace may possible be located somewhere on this path) to Droknar's Forge.

Congrats, Jason.

Grognard Gravelhead is only worth a T-Shirt for me.

But I can accept this, for Yakslapper clearly outshines the rest.

And I can totally accept that pair of Fleshcleaver and Fleshweaver ... after all, presumably unrelated people came up with such similar names, seems cool.

Oh, nice, congrats to you, too. We kept coming back to your name as being very cool sounding, with a very Dwarven connection. Excellent job!
