A Northern Territory MP once said the toads were such a menace that people should attack them with golf clubs to keep them at bay.

What with all these Omegatoads, Ultrarats and Megabugs going around it would seem the end is inevitable. Human beings are taller and fatter than we ever were. Is time for the rest to have their turn. Are we soon to be under the thrall of an iron-tentacled Hypersquid?

Woo me with your tales of suspiciously large animals....

You can also take part in the amusing poll.

That toad was fcuking ugly man. Last week I was on the train and we were stopped at longford, with the door open. A beetle flew in and fell from mid air onto teh ground-he was about an inch long, and two wide with wings out. Freaking looking baxtard. He proceeded to walk down the aisle and scare many full grown men. Fortunately he was travelling the opposite direction to me.

Also, do you think people from Darwin are really evolved, or less so?

Once the bird population figure out that all they have to do is swoop down and peck our eyes out we're doomed.

What??? So in Origin of the Species he told us that we are all evolved from him? Egocentric so and so, Darwin!:)

I, for one welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality,
I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

No, he means Darwin, the Australian city. And it being Australian, no, they are not evolved.

Hey! I'm from Darwin!

As did I. Superbreasts; they have the ability to make a man orgasm at 100 feet

Where is the Giant Chimp option...?

Giant fish might be alright, as long as there are still some dry places left to hide.

A chimp would obviously be a benevolent ruler which is boring. If you're going to be ruled by a giant animal wouldn't you want it to be "a totally sweet Ant lord" etc?

There's no escape from the Fish Emperors land based minions though.

How giant is giant? Because a "giant" version of most of those would still be about as big a man.

And you wouldn't have a problem with that?

Not to he point where i would worry about it too much. I reckon we could give them a good fight.

I like my mighty rulers to be HUGE, if i'm gonna be bossed around by a Giant Anything then he better be legit, and not just "man sized".

Thats just false advertising!

"Hi there, i'm here for the Giant Toad woshipping?"
"That would be me."
"But your not giant, your just mansized."
"Excuse me?"

"But, but...look at those toads over there. I'm clearly a giant to them."

"then go lord it over them then."

Exit giant toad stage left, tail between its legs. (toads have tails right? Well now giant toads do. So there.) Dragan sits on bench patiently, waiting for the next possible megaflora overlord. Occaisonally he takes 50kg dumbell and does hammer curls with them, you know, just coz. End scene.

How handy or in the fishs case, finny would a fish be with a whip? I doubt they would posses the cranial capacity or opposable digits to rule their bipedal subjects for too long. I think they would bounce off in terror at the mere sight of our colourful giant nets and dazzling array of various seafood restaraunts.

Mmm I'll have a giant cod and mutant potato zombie chips, please.

Of course! I'm talking GIANT, for example if it were a Squid Overlord then it would most likely be several miles long and possible come equipped with some form of beam and/or ray...

WindSock

Ah but theyre dolphins. a far more distressing situation than the fishes.

Okay cool, then i say Squid. If only for the image of it's mighty tentacles stretching from city to city!!!!

I voted for the giant dog, because if I am about to be smote (smited?) by it than I'll just fling a big stick and when he runs after it; as he is legally obliged to do, just leg it in the opposite direction with one of his frisbee size choccy drops under my arm for sustenance.

Good idea, but it'd have to be a big, big stick, at least telephone-pole sized. When we rebel against our cruel canine overlords, we'll need an army of Scotsmen who are skilled in tossing the caber.

Will these Giant dogs be of varying breeds, like great Danes and Chihuhuahahuuaas?

A crab is the best option obviously as you could just stand in front or behind it when you didn't want it to get you.
