Now, for contestants of the scrab fights: add your story about how you found your scrab! Here is mine.

THE STORY OF COOL PARAMITE AND HIS SCRAB, PART ONE: THE JOURNY
As you know, I'm a paramite, and I grew up in the mudomo vaults. One day, I decided that I wanted to see more of the world. So, after two days of traveling, I reached the exit. And then I saw: NECRUM! I walked around there, and decided to go to the Mudanchee vaults. There where rumored to be "scrabs" there. And I saw a lot of them. One day, I was chased by a scrab. I saw a wall with plants on it and climbed it. Plants are just like webs! ;) I climbed up and up and up and up... untill I reached the top. There was a magnificent temple there, with scrab rockpaintings and scrab statues. The door was open. I walked in and saw a big, round chamber with a nest in the middle. In the nest was one egg. An egg that was as big as me! And then, a scrab came out... :eek: It was big for a baby-scrab, and light gray. What kind of scrab could it be? :confused: He tought I was his mother, and followed me when I tried to walk away. I explored the temple and discovered a portal. The scrab and me jumped trough it, and I was back in the Mudomo vaults...

TO BE CONTINEUD (please forgive spelling mistakes, I'm from the Netherlands :))

C'mon, add your scrab-story too!

I think that you heard about my Irafaz at the Scrab fights topic... i found this Irafaz in a big forest. He were hurt by a bigger Scrab as he wanted to join a big Scrab Herd. He was a baby at this time, nobody wanted him, he was turned away from the other Scrabs....he was allone. His life was dark, empty and cold till i found him...i'm sort of glad that i've found him.
He is harmless. As i found him, his skin was icecold, the rain patter the whole night on him. He was haggard and half-famished.As i went to him he tempted to stand up and attack me, but he was too weakly. One leg was broken and the claw was ripped. I taken along and cultivated him.

We know us really long, and i wanted that he fight with other Scrabs in an arena. And he was winner...that was the first time he was stronger than an other Scrab!

This message has a sad mudokon icon because it's the saddest part of the story of me and my scrab Gray Dead.

To Alector: Yes, I've heard about Irafaz at the scrab fights, it's an impressive scrab, 8 legs, claws... Me and my scrab Gray Dead take part too (see page 2 of the scrab-fights.).

THE STORY OF COOL PARAMITE AND HIS SCRAB PART TWO: THE BANISHMENT
When I returned to the Mudomo vaults, the other paramites were scared of my scrab, but I convinced them he was'nt dangerous, and he could stay. The first 3 years of his life, he was called Gray Cutie, because he never attacked someone. He eated plants. But during that years, a big horn and a long, spiked tail begun to grow. And when he was 3, he killed one of the other paramites. I then changed his name to Gray Dead, because he wasn't cute anymore, but that did not help. Gray Dead and I where banished from the Mudomo vaults, to go as far as possible.
:( We travelled far away for two months, untill we came by a desert. I said to him: "We must separate, you stay here and I will seek a forest." But he STILL tought I was his mother (As I said in the scrab-fights, he is definitly not smart.) So when he looked away, I ran away as fast as possible. We were both on our own (Is that good english, you know, I'm from the Netherlands.). I later found a big forest (Maybe the one where Irafaz, scrab of Alector, comes from?) and stayed there for 9 years, 9 years of sorrow, untill I heard of the scrab-fights...

TO BE CONTINUED!

Okay, here is the final part of my story!

THE STORY OF COOL PARAMITE AND HIS SCRAB, PART THREE: THE FIGHT!
I have lived 9 years in the big forest. One day, I saw two sligs walking trough the forest. They where talking about "Scrab-fights", where only the strongest scrabs could survive. I tought: Let's see Gray Dead again, and ask him or he wants to fight. I traveled to the desert and what I saw... Gray dead became huge in the 9 years I left him alone, twice as big as a normal scrab! His horn and tail where bigger then ever. I said: "Gray dead, do you recognize me? I am Cool Paramite, your parent. Listen, I have heard about scrab-fights. Do you want to take part?" He said yes, it's one of the few words he can say. We travelled to the Scrab-fights and posted this message there:
---------------------------------------------
This is my scrab:
NAME: Gray Dead
AGE: 12 years
BIRTHPLACE: A secret temple in the Mudanchee Vaults.
CHARITY: The "We want Munch on PC" fund.
WHAT MAKES HIM DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SCRABS: Gray Dead has a big horn on his head. He also has a long, spiked tail. Gray dead is very, VERY strong. Already 237 sligs and 45 other scrabs has seen his tail and no one survived. And if not hit by the tail, it will be the horn. Gray Dead is twice as big as a normal scrab and light-gray. Unfortunatly, Gray Dead is'nt perfect. He is a little bit slow and definitly not smart. But strong he is!!!

Can he take part?
---------------------------------------------
Yes, he could take part. After a while, I heard he had to fight against Robo-Scrab. I was shocked. Robo-Scrab was a light-speed fast scrab, with lasers and a forcefield. But Gray Dead won! Here is the story of the fight, done by Paramite5!
---------------------------------------------
todays fight is between robo-scrab and gary dead
the scrabs are being loaded into the ring
(note)
we disabled robo-scrabs lazer and force field as it gives him an unfair advantage.

gary runs towards robo-scrab and kicks him down which gives him a hurt leg robo scrab gets up and pushes gary into the ropes. gary
charges towards robo-scrab and knoks im into the post in the corner of the ring. then gary keeps charging at robos-crab until his head comes off and he explodes.

the winner is gary dead

the next fight is between the next 2 scrabs

scrab fights is sponsored by scrab cakes :)
---------------------------------------------
He's a winner!!!!!!!!!!!! But, Paramite5, you switched the R and the A!

Now, after the fight, we are travelling together, again, and now forever. We are now friends for life!

A HAPPY END! :)
