The Creature

"The Creature from the pit...well from Rhyl, and really gruesome. Really."

- Jonathan Pearce

The Creature (from the Black Lagoon) was a competitor in Series 4 of Robot Wars. It was a dome shaped robot with two lifting tusks resembling Matilda's as its primary weapons. It was built by a team of ten people, who covered the machine with paper mache design, as was customary in the team's robots; the team's other, slightly less successful entrant, Twn Trwn, was also designed in this way over three and a half months. The machine was made entirely from one wheelchair except for the go-kart wheels.

Series 4
Invertabrat and Berserk 2 were The Creature's opponents. It locked together with Invertabrat at the start, until Refbot broke them apart. As Invertabrat became beached on its flipper, Berserk 2 lifted The Creature slightly. However, with Invertabrat no longer mobile, The Creature made it through to Round Two. "The Creature goes naked!"

This fight was against Gemini, and the clusterbot split up and flipped The Creature. This then shed its paper mache shell, but bounced back onto its wheels. Both halves of Gemini flipped The Creature against the arena wall, and they both put their flipper beneath the Creature's wheel, flipping simultaneously and throwing the Creature out of the arena. "Its not over until the fat lady sings, and the fat Creature's singing now."
