Revision as of 08:49, 8 April 2017
Check the results at Challonge or down below.
The Löwen Games are back for the final time! All Wesen species who appeared in "Pilot" though "The End" were eligible to compete. No humans, Grimms, non-Wesen beings, comic Wesen, novel Wesen or Wesen mentioned/seen in the Grimm diaries only were eligible. Zerstörer was also ineligible due to being overpowered compared to the other Wesen. Seedings were done using a random number generator. Numbers were assigned to each Wesen based on their names in alphabetical order. The Mauvais Dentes was awarded the #1 seed as the defending champion.
The rules:
- If you die, you lose.
- If you win, you live to fight another day.
- We are not responsible for band-aids or pain relievers. And if you get blinded, zombified, burned, or get any other non-life threatening injuries, toughen up.
Reporters
Matches are assigned to each reporter using a random number generator to help keep things balanced. The reporters write up the matches, and to avoid the possibility for the writers to sway the results based on their brackets, the results are heavily influenced by the Challonge polls, which are voted on by everyone who filled out a bracket. For example, if one Wesen receives 95% of the votes, then they will have a 95% chance of winning the fight, and if the Wesen with a 5% chance of winning ends up being victorious, the reporter will have to be much more creative in what they write up in order to explain the results.
The reporters:
- WesenZoo - 4th tournament reporting
- Bheadr27 - 3rd tournament reporting
- Grimmaniac - 2nd tournament reporting
Seeds
As the defending champion, the Mauvais Dentes automatically received the #1 seed.
Standings/Results
Wesen that won in the first 66 didn't get a higher seeding because they had an extra win and Wesen who lost in the first 66 were automatically tied for last place. Wesen that lost in the round of 64 were one place ahead of Wesen who lost in the first 66 even though they each had 1 loss.

Match Results
First 66 (April 5-6)
April 5
Gedächtnis Esser vs. Bauerschwein
| “ | Welcome to the 2017 Löwen Games! The crowd here is excited, woged, and ready to go! All factions of various Wesen are here, both in the stands, as well as among our competitors, which should make for all sorts of interesting matches. With our first match of the 2017 Löwen Games, we had two feisty competitors who had clearly been raised for the sole purpose of competing in this tournament. As the match was signaled to start, the Gedächtnis Esser and Bauerschwein charged straight at each other with no regard for what may happen next. The Bauerschwein actually put up a decent fight, ferociously swatting away at his competitor's tentacles to keep them from attaching to his head, even biting down on one, but this only seemed to enrage the Gedächtnis Esser even more, who simply picked up the poor Bauerschwein by the waist and performed a wrestling-like body slam on him. With the Bauerschwein momentarily stunned and grabbing at his back in pain, the Gedächtnis Esser attached his remaining useful tentacles to his competitor's head and drained all his memories and remaining sanity from him, leaving him an unconscious mess. The crowd cheered as the Gedächtnis Esser raised his hand in victory, but he quickly fled the arena as several Blutbaden descended from the stands, apparently to just feed on the helpless Bauerschwein. I'm sure this will go over well with the Bauerschwein onlookers in the crowd... | ” |
Scharfblicke vs. Skalenzahne
| “ | This match was hardly a match at all. The poor Scharfblicke stood no chance against the Skalenzahne, who many members of the crowd will recognize as the superstar power forward for the Portland Trail Blazers. The Skalenzahne stands at a massive 6'10" with fantastic speed and elite strength. The Skalenzahne quickly charged the Scharfblicke and proceeded to eat the owl-like creature's head! | ” |
Kackenkopf vs. Willahara
| “ | This young Willahara was in no way a ‚Hasenfuss‘, as he started his attack as soon as the fight was open but it was of no use. Without any decent claws or even teeth he was no real threat to the Kackenkopf at any time despite being fast on his furry feet. The Willahara managed to land a few swings but the exoskeleton of the Kackenkopf diverted all efforts. The latter clearly had no intention to risk any hits against the vulnerable part of his head and freed his competitor of his own by sinking his nasty teeth into the neck of the bunnylike Wesen. And oh… I think I saw some people in the crowd lifting sharp knifes probably going for the foot… | ” |
Höllentier vs. Unnamed Red Herring-like Wesen
| “ | It’s been an uneven fight from the beginning. The Höllentier woged, baring his teeth and launched himself with full speed at his opponent the instant the head of the latter bulged and turned red in his effort to woge in time. But it was too late. The Höllentier finished the fight with ripping the fish's… gills? out and sinking his teeth into the remaining flesh. Bon appetite. | ” |
Klaustreich vs. Musasat Alsh-Shabab
| “ | Many people had no idea how this match would go, and it ended up being a fairly evenly match fight. The Musasat Alsh-Shabab was trying his hardest to knockout or stun the Klaustreich to make it easier to attach his mouth to the Klaustreich's face. He finally manage to land a left hook squarely to the Klaustreich's face, knocking her to the ground and the Musasat Alsh-Shabab quickly took advantage to suck the Yanbue from the Klaustreich, but he wasn't quick enough as the Klaustreich manages to dig her claws into the Musasat Alsh-Shabab's neck, causing his blood to drip all over her face in victory. | ” |
Hässlich vs. Manticore
| “ | As some may have expected, this match was not one that tested the endurance and stamina of either competitor. The Hässlich was not particularly bright in his approach, and rather than try to keep at bay of the Manticore's deadly tail, he instead tried to charge right at him, but the Manticore was more than ready. The Hässlich practically impaled himself on his competitor's tail as the Manticore didn't even break a sweat in this one. With an Eisbiber due up next, the crowd expects another quick match for the Manticore; however, seeing as the competitors are quite literally fighting for their lives, it would probably be unwise for the Manticore, or any of the other fighters for that matter, to take his next opponent lightly. | ” |
Jägerbar vs. Reinigen
| “ | This was one of the fastest matches in March, or in this case April, Madness Löwen Games history. It appears that the Reinigen was deaf, so she did not hear the signal for the fight to begin, and for some reason she had her back to the Jägerbar, who simply ran up and snapped the Reinigen's neck. | ” |
Mellifer vs. Varme Tyv
| “ | Since it’s still early in the year the Varme Tyv looks like he was forced out of his Hibernaculum. Too bad for the little Queen Bee, she had very few at her hands to oppose this dire need for warmth. One Wesen ended his Winterschlaf – the other one will never wake again from her icy state. | ” |
Mauzhertz vs. Furis Rubian
| “ | This match posed two Wesen against each other that aren't known for having violent reputations. Because of this, there was a noticeable lack of energy and anticipation from the crowd for this one, but some unintentional comedy led to a pretty raucous crowd afterwards anyway. We hope the end result in this one was worth the price of admission! When the match got underway, both contestants woged, and the frightening appearance of the male Furis Rubian scared the Mauzhertz half to death. Immediately, the Mauzhertz tried to scurry off and run away from the Furis Rubian, but he was so panicked, he simply ran head-first into a wall. As the crowd burst into laughter, the Furis Rubian, a little unsure of what to do at first, simply walked over to the Mauzhertz and ended the poor Wesen's misery, quickly snapping his neck. | ” |
Lebensauger vs. Fuchsbau
| “ | The Lebensauger was very reluctant to woge but this tricky Fuchsbau-Lady left him with no other option as he faced her fangs coming at him, but he was too late. He couldn’t reach any part of her with this disgusting mouth. It took all of a few minutes till his body finally stopped twitching. | ” |
Taureus-Armenta vs. Ziegevolk
| “ | In an outcome that some considered to be an upset, the Taureus-Armenta emerged victorious in this one, though not without some side effects of the fight. Not one to fear much, the Taureus-Armenta charged at his competitor as soon as the match began. The Ziegevolk had charged up a great deal of pheromones, however, and quickly jumped out of the way of the Taureus-Armenta as he ran through a cloud of both dust and the Ziegevolk's charm. The Taureus-Armenta sniffed the air in a daze, momentarily rendered completely non-aggressive. The Ziegevolk, thinking he had the advantage, carelessly walked up to his opponent to make his next move, but he never got to. A Ziegevolk's pheromones have more potency when physical contact is able to be made, and before the Ziegevolk could strike, seeming to forget that he had not actually touched the Taureus-Armenta yet, the Taureus-Armenta snapped out of his stupor and swung his head around, impaling the Ziegevolk with one of his horns straight through the throat. On impulse, the Ziegevolk grabbed onto the Taureus-Armenta, finally touching him, but after a few seconds, his arms fell lifelessly to his side. The Taureus-Armenta was brought to his knees as well, however, as apparently this final physical contact had some effect. | ” |
Dämonfeuer vs. Wettbewerbsgewinner
| “ | The Wettbewerbsgewinner stood absolutely no chance against the Dämonfeuer. Before the Wettbewerbsgewinner could even think about his first move, he was already burning alive. | ” |
Aswang vs. Schakal
| “ | How unfortunate for the Schakal that she was pregnant. The Aswang stuck her long tongue into the Schakal's bellybutton, which shocked the Schakal long enough the the Aswang managed to tackle her to the ground and beat her to death. | ” |
Quijada Vil vs. Hasenfussige Schnecke
| “ | The Hasenfussige Schnecke couldn’t keep himself from woging, leaving the audience disgusted at best, some people even looking sick. Gladly the Quijada Vil was no coward and quickly ended the misery for his opponent - and the spectators. | ” |
Cupiditas vs. Hexenbiest
| “ | Word spread before this fight that the Cupiditas had stolen the hair of the Löwen who was primarily in charge of running this match, but seeing as almost anything goes in these tournaments... nobody seemed to really care! The match was signaled to begin, and the Cupiditas could be seen spitting into some sort of vial she had with her. No doubt this was an impromptu making of Amor de Infierno, a first in the Löwen Games. The Hexenbiest was not fazed at all though and stood her ground. She watched her opponent intently as the Cupiditas was cautious to approach her. Somehow, the Cupiditas was going to have to get the Hexenbiest to drink what was in that vial, and the Hexenbiest clearly knew this. She ominously started to slowly walk towards the Cupiditas, cornering her in the arena. Once she was too close for comfort, the Cupiditas suddenly became aggressive and threw the vial at the Hexenbiest's face, but the vial and its contents froze in mid-air inches from the Hexenbiest's face, before harmlessly dropping to the ground. As the Cupiditas watched in horror, she fell to her knees and desperately begged the Hexenbiest for mercy, knowing she was overmatched. The Hexenbiest glanced over at the Löwen, who smiled, flashing those vicious teeth of his, and turned his thumb down. The crowd cheered in delight as the Cupiditas then horribly started screaming in pain, but these screams quickly turned into a gurgling sound and then abrupt silence as some of the Cupiditas' internal organs were telekinetically pulled out of her mouth. ...And with that, I think I'm gonna be sick! | ” |
Krampus vs. Skalengeck
| “ | It's only early April, but the Skalengeck has already been very naught according to Krampus. The Skalengeck used his agility to get some hard hits in against Krampus, but the Skalengeck caught too close one too many times as when he went in for an attack, Krampus kicked the Skalengeck in the knee causing severe damage as his knee was suddenly very crooked. As the Skalengeck screamed in pain, Krampus walked up, knocked the Skalengeck onto his back, and stomped his face as hard as he could, crushing the Skalengeck's skull with the result resembling when Negan bashes skulls with Lucille. | ” |
Nuckelavee vs. Luison
| “ | The Luison tried to charm his neck out of this fight, but the female Nuckelavee didn’t fall for it. She gestured him like a pro-boxer to come forth and try to get her straight to the face, but he hesitated. Looking around and realizing there was no escape for him he actually tried his best, but he didn’t really stand a chance against the hooves, never allowing him to get close enough to do more damage than giving a few scratches on her arms. After a couple of minutes the audience seems to get restless and gather their things. I know it’s the last fight of the day, geez… why are they in a hurry all of a sudden? The Löwen in his VIP Lounge seems mildly bugged by this behavior. Lifting his glass of Champagne he obviously gave his security chief a sign as all of a sudden all the iron gates were closed with a notable thump. Irritated, the Nuckelavee lifts her gaze at the Löwen but he winks at her to continue while emptying his glass. As a last resort it seems the badly wounded Luison finally went for the legs of the fierce woman, giving her at least a nasty cut across her right tibia. He seemed to have forgotten, that this move brought him in return near her feet, but it didn’t matter anymore, since her powerful hoof crushed his skull in a nasty wet sound… So much for the first day, be sure to return tomorrow for the next preliminary fights. See ya soon. | ” |
April 6
Stangebär vs. Königschlange
| “ | This was a closer match than many had previously anticipated! The Königschlange showed off his fast reflexes several times in this fight, ducking and dodging the swinging arms of his dangerous opponent, the Stangebär. In what started to resemble a lightweight boxing match, the Königschlange proved to be the one lighter on his feet. Eventually, the Stangebär's stamina failed him, and the swings of his arms started becoming more and more uncontrolled. A lunging swing of his right arm that simply hit air caused the Stangebär to stumble forward a few feet, and the Königschlange finally was able to capitalize on the opportunity as he sunk his teeth into his opponent's neck from behind, delivering his deadly toxin that immediately took effect. The Stangebär collapsed to the ground in a lifeless heap, as the Königschlange continued to show off afterwards, taking several quick victory laps around the arena. He certainly looks like he could fight in another match right now! | ” |
Spinnetod vs. Coyotl
| “ | Girlsfight! I guess a female opponent is not such much tasty for our beautiful Spinnetod, but nonetheless is she fighting like crazy. Haven’t seen that much shrieking, scratching and pulling out each other’s hair like this… both take turns in gaining the upper hand. Ouch, now the Coyotl snatched half of the Spinnetod fingers and bites them off. That really got the pretty blonde on her bad side and finally she vomited her poison into the other female’s mouth. The Coyotl managed to throw her off, but it took only seconds for her to start shaking uncontrollable. Breathing heavily the Spinnetod sat up, holding her bloody left hand and watching the Coyotl die. Before the Cleaning crew arrived the blonde crawled back to the dead body and bit into her belly. Enjoy your meal… | ” |
Blutbad vs. Raub-Kondor
| “ | This was a bloodbath to be sure! The Blutbad and Raub-Kondor exchanged several blows, bites, slashes, and kicks as they fought in close quarters with each other. The Blutbad's strength proved to be the deciding factor, however, as he pushed the Raub-Kondor around the arena for most of the fight and set the tone. For every slash the Raub-Kondor landed, the Blutbad seemed to do twice as much damage with his punches and vicious bites. The Raub-Kondor couldn't keep up the fight as he lost more and more blood, and the Blutbad finally ended the match by ripping off the Raub-Kondor's arm and biting out his throat. The Löwen look most impressed by this Blutbad's brutality! | ” |
Folterseele vs. Steinadler
| “ | The Folterseele was hoping to use her looks as an advantage in this match, but the Steinadler was having none of it. He pretended like he had a crush on the froggy beauty, but when he acted like he was going to kiss her, he snapped the Folterseele's neck. | ” |
El Cucuy vs. Wildesheer
| “ | This match should have turned out much differently. The El Cucuy was using her claws to slice up the Wildesheer's face, but it wasn't affecting him too much. He was messing around with the El Cucuy as she was super confused why her attacks were hardly doing anything to the Wildesheer. If only she realized that she needed to cut the Wildesheer long hair to defeat him. Eventually, the Wildesheer got bored and beat the El Cucuy to death. | ” |
Geier vs. Gevatter Tod
| “ | It’s the first time the Löwen managed to get a Gevatter Tod to join this spectacle. Maybe he thought he could be of use with some of the unlucky contestants? Didn’t anyone tell him this is a Battle Arena and not just a decent sports match? Oh well… Anyway, the Geier woges, stretched his long fingers and revealing the long talons. His eyes firmly set on his competitor he moves his head in a very vulture like manner but the Gevatter Tod seems to be unfazed. Still looking like a nice middle-aged uncle he just observe the Geiers action, as if this had nothing to do with him. The Geier slowly approached him, still wary but seemingly getting more exalted by the ‘nonreaction’ with every step. Finally, he jumps at the Gevatter, talons extended, going for the throat. Confident of his victory he screeched what obviously had to be a battle cry. My poor eardrums… But wait, the Gevatter Tod grabs the Geier in midair and throws him over his shoulder in a seriously Kung Fu-like move. Stunned for a second the Geier jumped up and tried another attack only to find himself again lying down with his mouth full of sand. Now the real fight starts. Hand-to-hand both competitors fight, the Gevatter Tod slowly gaining the upper hand. Finally he caught the Geier in a firm grip, woges and injects his poisonous saliva into the Geiers nostrils. The Tod always wins in the End… | ” |
Wildermann vs. Wendigo
| “ | We may have our first fairly big upset of the Löwen Games thus far! ...Though this might not be quite the upset if it was known that the Wildermann in this match seemed quite opposed to fighting at all. When the match started, it became clear the Wildermann would have to be agitated in some way to get him to become aggressive. The Wendigo, on the other hand, had no such issues. He understood what was at stake here and began running towards his opponent. The Wildermann must have thought that the Wendigo was interested in striking up a friendly conversation about the weather rather than being out for blood, as that's the only way to explain why the Wildermann just simply stood there and did nothing to defend himself. The Wendigo delivered a slashing uppercut to the Wildermann's throat, which proved to be a critical blow. The Wildermann's eyes quickly widened in shock as he reached for his throat, blood squirting out profusely. Perhaps he realized at this point what he was in for, as the Wendigo continued to slash away at the Wildermann. The Wildermann delivered one huge kick to the Wendigo in self-defense, sending the Wendigo flying back several feet, but the damage was done. The Wildermann collapsed to the ground as he bled out, and the Wendigo took awhile to get back up but eventually got to his feet and glared menacingly at his fallen opponent, barely celebrating this first round victory. | ” |
Huntha Lami Muuaji vs. Fuchsteufelwild
| “ | The Fuchsteufelwild simply had a better way of using his highly corrosive acid than the Huntha Lami Muuaji did in this match. The Huntha Lami Muuaji, in the end, couldn't manage to get close enough to touch the Fuchsteufelwild, who cut his opponent in half with one devastating slash of his long fingernails as soon as the Huntha Lami Muuaji got too close for his own good. | ” |
Wældreór vs. Seltenvogel
| “ | This was one of those early round matches that hardly felt like a match. The Seltenvogel stood no chance against the rabid Wældreór, who quickly knocked the Seltenvogel to the ground and tore out her throat with his teeth. | ” |
Weten Ogen vs. Apgadnieks
| “ | The Weten Ogen had a rough time dealing with that Apgadnieks, probably because she didn’t know if she could kill someone looking that young. But the teenager finally helped with his ruthless attack from behind. He sank his teeth deep into her right shoulder, making her cry out in pain. At that point the Apgadnieks was merely a punching bag, finally ending as a bloody mess dumped like garbage in the sand of the arena. | ” |
Cracher-Mortel vs. Matança Zumbido
| “ | Now THIS, ladies and gentleman, is what I call a highly anticipated matchup. As soon as the fight began, the Cracher-Mortel tried to catch his opponent by surprise right away and spit a huge blob of his dangerously toxic saliva right at the Matança Zumbido's face. The Matança Zumbido had clearly scouted his opponent well before the match, however, as he had electrically charged the air around him to the point that the toxic saliva seemed to fry in mid-air before it could reach him, rendering the toxins useless. The Cracher-Mortel, still determined, prepared to fire another glob of spit, but the Matança Zumbido quickly closed in before he could spit another round. The Cracher-Mortel delivered a quick jab and a side-kick to keep the Matança Zumbido at bay, and the Matança Zumbido and Cracher-Mortel both eyed each other nervously, waiting for any type of opening. Again, the Cracher-Mortel quickly tried to fire his spit at the Matança Zumbido, but he was ready once again and dodged it as it flew over his head, striking an unfortunate random spectator in the crowd instead. The Matança Zumbido again closed in, trying to get into a grapple with the Cracher-Mortel. The Cracher-Mortel wisely chopped down the Matança Zumbido's arms and delivered a headbutt, knocking the Matança Zumbido back. He followed this up with a combo of two quick jabs to the face and a leg sweep, knocking the Matança Zumbido to the ground. The Cracher Mortel took this opportunity to gather up another "round" of saliva; the Matança Zumbido, perhaps sensing his vulnerability, desperately tried to jump off the ground and grab a hold of one of the Cracher-Mortel's legs, but he was met with a swift kick to the side of the head from the Cracher-Mortel's opposite leg. The Matança Zumbido lay on his back, significantly hurting from this last blow, and it seemed he had not scouted the Cracher-Mortel's fighting skills quite as well as his toxic saliva. The Cracher-Mortel then bent over his opponent's face and delivered a point-blank shot of his toxic spit right to the Matança Zumbido's face. His body twitched and crackled with electricity as he went into momentary spasm, before turning gray and lifeless. Man, what a match! | ” |
Musai vs. Naiad
| “ | Whoever organized this fight forgot to give the Naiad some water to soak in recently, and she was severely dehydrated before the fight even began. She collapsed to the ground, dead, less than a minute into the fight, so the Musai basically got a free win without even having to take more than a couple steps. | ” |
Phansigar vs. Schinderdiv
| “ | Whoever told the Phansigar to try to strangle a Schinderdiv with this freakishly long tongue of his headfirst was… a complete idiot. Though the tongue was long, the gigantic tusks of the Schinderdiv were a more effective weapon, especially when you found yourself tangled hanging in midair and ending squashed between these tusks and the concrete wall of the arena. It left the Phansigar completely tongue-tied… | ” |
Yaguaraté vs. Murciélago
| “ | The answer leading into this match was if the Yaguaraté was fast enough to be able to attack the Murciélago before she could emit her high pitched shriek, and looking at the Yaguaraté now, the answer was a resounding no, as he lies dead on the ground with his eyeballs popped out, and blood running down his face from his nose, ears, and what was once his eyes. | ” |
Siegbarste vs. Gelumcaedus
| “ | This was a highly anticipated fight for sure. Both types of Wesen are known for their stamina, being hard to kill, but the first couple of minutes they only stared at each other while slowly circling the arena. The spectators demanded both fighter to show what they got and stop pussyfooting around each other. Maybe that’s been the spark that was needed, as suddenly both jumped a surprise double attack and crashed into each other with full force, grabbing the hands of the opponent and pushing against it like trying to break the others wrists. And being who they were, this turned into a test of strength. The Gelumcaedus tried to tear off the Siegbarste’s arms, but with these strong bones it was futile. The massive Wesen didn’t break a sweat over this. But it took him a long time to come with a way to kill the reptile Wesen. Finally it hit him – or rather the Gelumcaedus – as the Siegbarste finally started using his head… as a battering ram! Not sure if this was the fight the Löwen had hoped for, but after some dozen head-butts the Gelumcaedus sank seemingly beeing only semiconscious onto his knees, giving the Siegbarste the opportunity to clasp this massive arms around the other Wesen's head and… well, let’s say, the Siegbarste helped the reptile to wrack its brain completely. | ” |
Dickfellig vs. Luisant-Pêcheur
| “ | This match simply turned into a foot race as soon as it was signaled to begin. The Luisant-Pêcheur eyed the pool that was installed specifically for Wesen like him and started sprinting for it, but the Dickfellig went into a full-out charge towards the Luisant-Pêcheur to try to beat him to it. He proved to be faster and delivered one heck of a blow to the Luisant-Pêcheur's side with his horn, sending the Luisant-Pêcheur flying in the air right into the pool waters. The lifeless body of the Luisant-Pêcheur floated to the surface as his blood stained the pool water red, a huge gash visible where the Dickfellig had hit him. Hey, at least he still ended up in the pool! | ” |
Round of 64 (April 7-8)
April 7
Mauvais Dentes vs. Gedächtnis Esser
| “ | The Mauvais Dentes tried to keep his distance while also trying to get some scratch attacks in. Normally he'd be far more patient, but 15 minutes into the fight, the Mauvais Dentes took a chance and tackled the Gedächtnis Esser to the ground. Before he could kill the Gedächtnis Esser, the Gedächtnis Esser attached his tentacles to the Mauvais Dentes' head and started causing him to lose his memories. However, the Gedächtnis Esser's adrenaline was so high, that he didn't realize that the Mauvais Dentes' claw was slowly going further into his neck. The Gedächtnis Esser suddenly realized what was happening and released the Mauvais Dentes. The Mauvais Dentes was a bit confused, but managed to finish off the Gedächtnis Esser while he was trying to stop his neck from bleeding. | ” |
Skalenzahne vs. Kackenkopf
| “ | The Kackenkopf might have had an easy win with the Willahara in his first fight, but it was clear as day, that it wouldn’t be the same with his next opponent. The crowd cheered for their Trail Blazer Superstar as soon as he set his foot into the arena. He sure didn’t disappoint the spectators with his performance and the amount of blood he shed while tearing the unfortunate Kackenkopf apart. | ” |
Wasser Zahne vs. Höllentier
| “ | This match was decided rather quickly, as the Höllentier went into this match perhaps a bit overconfident going up against another Wesen that favors water. The two creatures went at each other early, with the Wasser Zahne cleverly luring the Höllentier slowly but surely to the water's edge of the built-in pool inside the arena. While the Höllentier may have thought he was controlling the tempo of the match, it was all a ruse; as soon as the Wasser Zahne lured the Höllentier close enough, he grappled the Höllentier and threw him into the pool, where he jumped in afterwards and finished him off, killing him via drowning. The Wasser Zahne absorbed some blows that he blocked in order to carry out his plan, but no blood was drawn, so he shouldn't be any worse for the wear going into his next match. | ” |
Vulpesmyrca vs. Klaustreich
| “ | It’s the first fight for the Vulpesmycra, but the Klaustreich already had an encounter with a Musasat Alsh-Shabab two days ago and… oh… didn’t she looked a lot… younger last time? Now her brown hair shows streaks of silver and white and she seems to be… way more fragile than a woman in her twenty-something should be. Probably a side effect from losing some of that precious Yanbue to the Musasat. Too bad, she was rather pretty before that. The Vulpesmycra on the other hand didn’t seemed too sad about it and attacked straight on, woging while running with remarkable speed. But the Klaustreich wouldn’t give up that easily. She blocked the attack and struck him with her razor sharp claws across his chest instead. That’s one tough woman! The Vulpesmycra clearly got agitated over this injurie and advanced again. Both went hand-to-hand, blocking, hitting, slashing and attacking again. But a few minutes later it became obvious, that her previous fight had cost the Klaustreich dearly, as her hair turned even whiter still, her movements becoming more and more feeble and finally faltered altogether. The Vulpesmycra noticed the changes in his opponent’s appearance and behavior and stopped. Warily he took two steps back, probably wondering what’s happening with her. With pure horror showing in her face the Klaustreich finally fell to the ground, resembling an old hag by now, her pure white hair flowing around wrinkled skin, pale as parchment. The audiences loud cheers had faded to a shocked murmur while watching the now old lady die of age. The Vulpesmycra sure didn’t look too pleased with this outcome. He seemed rather worried about what had caused that rapid aging and checking his wounds for any signs of infections, making him an old man within minutes as well. | ” |

Eisbiber vs. Manticore
| “ | To make this match a bit more interesting for the onlookers, the Löwen infected this Eisbiber with Fluvus Pestilentia. I have no idea if this is actually legal or not, but the Löwen make the rules, so no use in debating their tactics unless you want to find out what the inside of a Löwen belly looks like. Despite the Eisbiber being particularly more aggressive than normal, the match was still extremely short. The Eisbiber snarled as the Manticore got down into a ready position and steadied himself, preparing for the Eisbiber to charge at him. Sure enough, that's what happened, and, yet again, another opponent practically impaled themselves on the Manticore's deadly tail. No upset in this match, as the Manticore moves on to the next round. | ” |
Genio Innocuo vs. Jägerbar
| “ | There are a couple fighters who have had little resistance against them so far, and one of those fighters is the Jägerbar. He cruised through this match using his sharp claws to slice up the Genio Innocuo, before sticking his large claws into the Genio Innocuo's throat. | ” |
Hundjäger vs. Varme Tyv
| “ | Score another win for the Varme Tyv, this time a pretty big upset. The Varme Tyv walked into the arena a shivering mess, and the Hundjäger flashed a sinister smile. Underestimating his opponent, however, the Hundjäger was too aggressive in going in for the kill. Varme Tyv that are on the cusp of freezing to death can prove to be all the more dangerous, and, serving as the perfect example, the Varme Tyv seemed to transform from a shivering, harmless shell of a creature into a ferocious beast in an instant. As the Hundjäger went to bite the Varme Tyv's throat, the Varme Tyv grabbed the left arm of his opponent and spun him to the ground, flipping him over his shoulder. The Varme Tyv then immediately jumped on top of the Hundjäger and sunk his teeth into the Hundjäger's throat. The Hundjäger desperately tried to push the Varme Tyv off of him, but the bite was locked in. In his last surviving moments, the Hundjäger tried to claw at the Varme Tyv's head and face, but as his warmth was stolen from his body, his last attempts to survive were noticeably weaker, and the Varme Tyv eventually climbed off of his frozen opponent, refreshed as if he was good as new. | ” |
Löwen vs. Furis Rubian
| “ | The Furis Rubian was hoping that this match would be like his previous fight with the Mauzhertz in terms of his opponent being afraid of him, but he was very, very wrong. The Löwen was very aggressive and quickly used his large teeth to bite onto the Furis Rubian's face, biting it partly off before biting the Furis Rubian's throat to win the match. | ” |
Ungeziefer Greifer vs. Fuchsbau
| “ | Like in her previous fight, the Fuchsbau had no problem in catching and killing her prey within only a few minutes into the match, even though the Ungeziefer Greifer tried his hardest to avoid the sharp fangs. In the end she was quicker on her feet and her teeth were sharper. Let’s see if that Lady is going to have another easy win in the next round. | ” |
Drang-Zorn vs. Taureus-Armenta
| “ | The Ziegevolk's pheromones that the Taureus-Armenta encountered in his last fight had a significant effect in this match, which really wasn't a fair fight from the start, not that any of the Löwen really care. The Taureus-Armenta clearly did not have the focus and fighting attitude in this match that he would typically have. From the get go, he came stumbling into the arena, almost as if he was drunk. The Drang-Zorn wasted no time in finishing off her opponent, delivering fatal slashes to the Taureus-Armenta's belly and throat. One can only hope the Ziegevolk's pheromones helped make this a (mostly) painless death for the Taureus-Armenta. | ” |
Fuilcré vs. Dämonfeuer
| “ | Another day, another easy win for the Dämonfeuer. This was her second match to start the tournament that last less than 15 seconds before she burned her opponent alive. She is already getting overconfident, saying "there is no one who can stop me from being crowned the champion of this tournament. I will cook everyone alive before they can even make a move..." | ” |

Pflichttreue vs. Hexenbiest
| “ | The Pflichttreue is known for being a particularly stealthy and clever Wesen, but there's not much of an advantage these traits have over a Hexenbiest's telekinesis, especially when both creatures are in an open arena with no place to hide. The match began, and the Pflichttreue was hesitant to make the first move, but the Hexenbiest, like a statue, just stood in place. The Pflichttreue then picked up some dirt in one of its hands and started to slowly approach the Hexenbiest in a stealthy crouch. Without warning, the Hexenbiest raised both her hands, and a huge cloud of dust overtook the Pflichttreue, almost as if to mock the Pflichttreue's plan of using that dirt it had picked up. The Pflichttreue came running out of the dust cloud, almost running blindly, and he was immediately picked up off the ground telekinetically, turned upside-down, and dropped straight on his head, breaking his neck. | ” |
Lausenschlange vs. Krampus
| “ | What just happened? Krampus was heavily favored to win this match, with hardly anyone giving the Lausenschlange a chance. However, apparently no one told the Lausenschlange that because he DOMINATED this fight. He used his quickness and smaller size to his advantage going for Krampus' legs. Once the Lausenschlange managed to knock Krampus to the ground, the Lausenschlange strangled Krampus until he passed out. The Lausenschlange then used his sharp fangs to bite Krampus' neck. Krampus then slowly proceeded to bleed out until he was pronounced dead. | ” |
Alpe vs. Nuckelavee
| “ | The Nuckelavee didn't have much time to heal from her last fight with the Luison, and she entered the fight a bit banged up, sporting a deep gash across her left tibia that was bandaged up and had blood seeping through. The sadistic Alpe looked to take advantage and give the Nuckelavee one "nightmare" of a fight, but the Nuckelavee still had her wits about her. Not moving much, the Nuckelavee stood in a ready position. The Alpe obliged the open invite to attack and came charging at the Nuckelavee, but she was met with a huge uppercut to the jaw. The Alpe's jaw appeared to be broken, and her mouth hung open as she dusted herself off the ground. The Nuckelavee motioned the Alpe to come at her once more, and she dove for the Nuckelavee's legs, trying to bring the beast down. She had no such luck, however, as the Nuckelavee still had a sturdy enough base to maintain her balance. She proceeded to deliver several punishing blows to the Alpe's head with her hoof-like fists, ending the match with yet another opponent's head left completely unrecognizable. The arena has been an absolute mess so far in the 2017 Löwen Games, and there's nothing the crowd here loves more than that! | ” |
