Tournament - The Kraken (Clash of the Titans) vs. Leviathan

[Culwych1]

Welcome to the Great Zoo

 

Get up close to some of this dimension's most Exotic Creatures. Ever wanted to see every animal that you could never see in your world? Grow up on stories about dragons, films featuring dinosaurs, games with zombie dogs, or wonder about the gargoyles adorning cathedrals? Well imagine no more, for you can see all of these magnificent beasts up close (safely behind our see-through force shields) in the largest zoo in this dimension. We boast a mid-sized planet dedicated purely to your enjoyment where you can:

 

• Picnic in the desert underneath the shadows of the colossal Sandworms 
• Wonder safely through a theme-park where every species of dinosaur roams free
• Take a dip in the sea with our playful mermaids and sirens
• Watch the lunchtime wild pack hunt of the lycanthropes
• Test your brains with the riddles of a real life Sphinx
• Take a canter around our range with unicorns, griffins, nightmares and pegasus
• Check out our budding village area where goblins, kobolds, ogres, orcs, trolls and hobgoblins start their journey towards basic civilisation
• Hack and slash your way though our jungles which are teeming with life. Can you spot our grumpy Rancor or our elusive Totoros
• And much much more!

 

Here are the Great Zoo we pride ourselves on catering for every age. You can rest assured that your little ones can enjoy every attraction, but look out for the "age appropriate" stickers to be sure you catch anything you may not want them watching. 

 

About Us

 

The Great Zoo is a non-profit conservation and educational center dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and preservation of our dimension's most wondrous and exotic animals. Sometimes plucked from the moment of planetary extinction, our staff work around the clock to research, capture and rehabilitate these amazing creatures. 

 

In association with several time bureaus and Gallifrey, we have many specialist "locate and capture" teams who are primed and ready to drop back, forward and sideways in time to the moment of a creature's doom. From that point we pluck it out of it's own timestream and place in a familiar environment to live a happy and safe life. Through the use of advanced artificial intelligence,  high and low magic, augmented and hyper reality, and gene-splicing, the creatures are not even aware that they are in the zoo so will act completely naturally. 

 

Occasionally we do like to mix things up a bit, for example allowing the creatures to encounter others they wouldn't normally do so, just to see what would happen. These encounters are always visitor friendly and live-streamed through our own channel so you can watch it remotely or in person. Tickets book up within minutes however so please ensure you log your interest ASAP. All encounters are mindwiped and we heal the creatures immediately afterwards so there are no lasting effects (apart from your endless thrills and enjoyment)!

 

Learn

 

As well as exclusive, once in a lifetime, thrills, we also offer a range of educational options. We have partnered with over fifty thousand schools in various realities to allow for a full suite of programmes and curriculums; we have a 100% money back guarantee that your little ones will learn something during their visit to the Great Zoo.  

 

Shop

 

At the end of your trip, please don't forget to swing by our Megatropolishop. This town is dedicated to all things wonderous to do with our creatures. You can find pixie wings, megalodon teeth, loch water, and much more. For those looking for the next addition to their family, swing by PetLand: mogwai, imps, aurumvorax, the list is endless. And if you shop in November, we have a special 2 for 1 on our mechanical and cloned dogs! CHOMPS, K-9, Robo-dog, Snowy, Lassie or Benji, we guarantee we have the dogs for you. 

 

Dine

 

We are especially proud of our 5 star cuisine which we are sure you will not want to miss. Using the latest in cloning technology, we are able to bring you lab grown meats from all our creatures! Anything you have seen at the park can be made to order and served at your table in less that 15 minutes. We do not use any artificial additives or genetic enhancers in our mix, so you can be sure that the taste is 100% authentic. We cook to your specification, so you can have your meat roasted, grilled, boiled, poached, fried, raw or any of the sixty other ways! And for you non-meat eaters out there, all of our thousands of exotic plants are available for sampling using exactly the same method.

Special Events

 

November: WATER PARK GIGANTIZMO. In November we GO BIG,  bigger than ever before! Join us in our first ever exclusive battle of the sea monsters (PG13+), available to view live from one of our state of the art hoverships*. From the deep dark depths of Norse, and more recently Greek, mythology you will find the Kraken. Watch out for this one's tentacles! And joining him with a tsunami or two comes the primeval Leviathan, from the old Books. This is truly the competition of the ages as our South Deep Ocean only has space for one of these amazing legends. So we have decided to pit them against each other for your enjoyment. Don't worry, our healing tech is on standby to ensure that both will be treated immediately. as well as their memories of the fight erased. The loser will sadly be moved to our smaller Northern Sea, a fitting downsizing for failure. 

 

*Seats are available to book right now. Discounts available for holiday packages or tables of 10+. Free Kraken Burger or Leviathan Dog with every ticket. 

 

We hope you enjoy your time here at the Great Zoo, and look forward to welcoming you back very soon!

Wow! This was awesome! It was creative and original!

This is a tough one... hmm... I've seen more stuff about the kraken in more forms of media. I feel like this would definitely be a close one. I think the leviathan would be ther underdog and so I may vote for him for that reason.

But their battle will definitely lend to the popularity of the park. Merchandising will sky rocket with t shirts, toys, games, food,drink, and whatever else goes into merchandise.. 

[Fox]

I am absolutely ready to get out of the house and visit the Great Zoo.

A very creative set-up with two rarely seen contenders.  And I can see from their fight record that they have never met in a match before.

Think I'm going with Leviathan here.  If this had been the Kraken from Pirates of the Caribbean then I would have taken that.  I was unimpressed with the Clash of the Titans version.

Thanks for the entertaining read.

 

[SSJRuss]

This was such a cool idea. I love this and want to see more of the Great Zoo in the future. Bravo for writing something that felt so real.

I think I'm with Fox. Leviathan takes this fight against the weaker Kraken.

[Culwych1]

Wow, thanks guys for the comments. Creating a place I'd want to visit was at the forefront of my mind when I started writing, so glad that came through a bit.

I had completely forgotten about to Pirates of the Caribbean Kraken, but other than that think it is probably right that this leaning in Leviathans favour. 

Who knows, the Great Zoo could well feature again! 😆

[JohnnyChany]

It's very rare to see a setup that hasn't been done in some variation before, but at least for myself I can't say I have ever seen one put together like this. That in of itself deserves recognition, and you put it together very well.  Its a cool concept, and I also wouldn't mind a return trip should the inspiration strike you.

I'm all in on Leviathan

[DSkillz]

Great entry, Culwych! Honestly, who wouldn't want to visit this Great Zoo after reading the brochure?  

As for the match, I'd have to concur with the others here. The Leviathan just seems to be a bit more powerful than the Kraken, at least this version of it.
