The Gaming Zoo (Beat All Comers)

If we're going with great snakes from Smash Bros . . .

Spoiler:

 

Drunka tells it like it is. for the chuffster Muss.

I gambled on another humanoid gaining the right honourable Balladeer's approval but I threw one of these

Spoiler:

 

Oh it is on like Donkey Kong.

Aw, I thought I posted a post about spiders. Thanks Jas for filling the Gohma void I apparently missed .

Snakes, eh? Right now, I can only think of these feckers:

Oh another Dark Souls III one is the serpent men, I love the animation of when they run at you.

If you're going to talk about the Manserpent, at least use the awesome pun!

Ahh shit! I totally fucked that, didn't I?

I seem to recall from Guesstus that I was the only one who picked up on Manserpent

You wrongly Castled the legendary Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken. You need to research these things before idly throwing out the wrath of Castle.

Some snakes!

An upcoming snake:

 

A snake lady:

 

In response to Balla's Mother 3 snake:

 

Did I see a Portrait Of Ruin snake in there? Corking little game, that was.

Yep, my Medusa - CHARLOTTE! - picture was indeed from - JONATHAN! - DS classic Castlevania - CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! - game, Portrait of Ruin. CHARLOTTE!

Context in the first 7 seconds of this video - ignore the rest, couldn't find a better video.

Hoist by my own petard!

Still reckon the Bar from Policenauts shouldn't have got Castled.

It was Kojima self-referencing himself - think it was Castle-worthy in this instance.

I can't wait till the mantis week though, got a few lined up for that one.

Kojima's animal men will probably earn you a Castling... be warned.

Who said its a man.

Clarification: any human/humanoid with the animal somewhere in its name (or car - I saw that one) that doesn't look like into the animal in question gets a Castling from hereon out. Unless overruled by admins., by Castle himself, or (like Muss' original offering) it makes me laugh.

With which, here's Dunsparce, who's also based around the tsuchinoko.

Fancy Dunsparce:

 

So that's what happened to Henry Hatsworth's kit when he was 'retired'!

A bar is neither of those

Am... am I free from Balla's oubliette? There's some things down there, man.

Following the dramatic escape of Muss, it's time for a different animal.  It's lions.  I'm struggling to find many, so other big cats also welcome.  Not domestic cats though.  Bet you can't guess what the next animal will be.

Punk Lion:

 

Crazy tiger (probably a dog but I'm really struggling):

 

Cancelled Lion:

 

Bonus Tiger for those who've finished AA6:

 

Any sports teams colloquially of officially known as lions (or other types of big cats) are out, by the way.

Doesn't Bayonetta go all "Twilight Princess" on us at one stage and morph in to a panther? There should be more games starring panthers.

Does King from Tekken count?
