Suggested by Myrmidon
Ganondorf (Legend of Zelda) will go up against Percy Jackson (book version).
The mighty King of Evil finds himself arriving in modern day New York through a dimensional rift.
Percy Jackson sees a horde of fleeing civilians and goes to investigate, where he finds himself face to face with Ganondorf himself. Drawing his sword, Percy prepares for battle while Ganon merely laughs.
Ganondorf is composite of all his appearances in the Legend of Zelda games. Percy is book version.
Who will win?
I’l side with Ganon for now.
I knew a fight like this was gonna happen.
Funny, I was expecting it to happen during a Tag Team regard with 2 other people on Percy, otherwise expecting WW or TP Ganondorf against Percy in 1-vs-1.
Percy is up against an Antichrist variant, or at least the closest the LoZ Multi-verse offers that’s obvious in the Son of Demise one way or another, I knew something like this was gonna happen sooner-or-later.
Something about this fight horrifies me, not gonna lie.
Heavenly Peace be with the onlookers, no lies.
—
I would also like to report that A New Camp Half-Blood Project is expecting to arrive early 2016 next year, it’s gonna change some things about the fight that’s for sure and Percy’s not a Main player this time around.
(At least part of me hopes not, this time.)Ganon’s durability will be a pain to deal with, that’s for sure.
Celestial bronze can harm gods and demigods, but not mortals. I suppose the difference is that the first two are immortal in some way. So Percy should have a weapon possibly capable of harming Ganondorf. The sword, Riptide, was used by Herakles himself. If the myth of Herakles is the same in the book, then it should come in handy.
Why did Herakles need a sword? That is like giving Goku a lazier. Anyway I am pretty sure that all Greek and Roman myth is canon to the Percy Jackson series.
Yeah, all the myths are considered canon and referenced by the gods and demigods of the series.
—
Celestial bronze can harm gods and demigods, but not mortals.
—
It can harm mortals if they’re special enough. Prime example being Carter, who is a mortal that knows magic. In a fight he had with Percy, Percy landed multiple hits on him and Riptide worked just fine.
—
If the myth of Herakles is the same in the book, then it should come in handy.
—
Just curious, why? It didn’t do anything for Hercules in the books.
@Nsl98
I’ve never read the series myself. I was just looking up information from a Wikipedia page. I thought perhaps if this was based on the actual myth of Herakles, that the sword would be effective in killing Ganondorf since the golden sword was used to cut the immortal head of Hydra.
Ah, ok. In the series its explained that Riptide can kill monsters and hurt other magical beings due to it being Celestial Bronze. In the PJ Verse, Riptide is given to Herc by Zoe, the forgotten daughter of Atlas.
Two versions of Ganondorf have had the completed Triforce- Link to the Past and Hyrule Warriors.
Petition to remove the Triforces of Courage and Wisdom from play to prevent a stomp.
Composite Ganondorf? As in Ganondorf having his own sword fighting skills, several other forms, and all the powers he’s displayed this far? Is Hyrule Warriors included as well, or is it just Canon appearances?
Percy really has gone up against a lot of Big Bads. Ganon, Dracula, Kain, we should throw him at satan(dante’s inferno) just for completion sake
Like everyone else I wonder: when people say composite in reference to LoZ, is HW included? I heard it wasn’t like Dissidia, HW is legit non canonical to LoZ…
—

Agree
—

—
Don’t forget Deadpool, the baddest of bads
I don’t think we have to worry about Ganondorf using the Triforce anyway, since he never wishes to win or to even prevent Link from ever existing. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hyrule Warriors was included, simply because Myrmidon is a fan of the LoZ series. I wonder if he’d be up for having composite Link fight a single incarnation Samus.
@Mea
Would it really even help if it was composite Percy? I mean, the movie version hasn’t really shown much.
Well what all can Ganon do?
—
I don’t think Movie Percy is necessary (not that it would do much) They’re in NYC, so water galore. Percy could continuously trap or pound Ganon in water. And if the fight came to swordsmanship I’m confident Percy could at least hang for awhile. Percy has beaten TP and WW Link on FP before, both of whom were able to match Ganon in swordplay. HW is still up for debate.
Well, since it’s composite ganondorf, he has all the powers he has in the games (with the exception of maybe Hyrule Warriors and Skyward sword…We need to be cleared up on whether or not those games are included). Meaning, he can levitate into the air and use some sort of energy blasts, like he does in Ocarina of Time. He can surround and Trap Percy into a small-scale arena with Twilight magic. He can also apparently endure fatal injuries because of the Triforce of Power. That Triforce piece also seems to give him the ability to transform into other forms, and create a phantom of himself. There was also a time in Ocarina of time where he was able to create a portal to “The Gap Between Dimensions”, where he banished that phantom after it was defeated.
–
Of course, those are only some powers I know of.
Meaning, he can levitate into the air and use some sort of energy blasts,
—
It’s gonna be pretty hard to levitate when winds that toss around cars and 40 ft crocs are a blowin’. And the energy blasts are slow enough that Percy could play Dead Man’s Volley if he’d like. Or just dodge them.
—
He can surround and Trap Percy into a small-scale arena with Twilight magic.
—
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Midna break one of Ganon’s barriers? Percy should be > than her in the strength department. And what if he just shot upward riding a waterspout to get over the barrier?
—
He can also apparently endure fatal injuries because of the Triforce of Power
—
What classifies as “fatal” to Ganon?
—
where he banished that phantom after it was defeated
—
He’d have to defeat Percy first if that’s the case.
“It’s gonna be pretty hard to levitate when winds that toss around cars and 40 ft crocs are a blowin’. And the energy blasts are slow enough that Percy could play Dead Man’s Volley if he’d like. Or just dodge them.”

Can Percy conjure these up quickly? Or does he need time and concentration? Also, he’d still have the phantom Ganons to worry about.
=
“What classifies as “fatal” to Ganon?”
–
I don’t know what classifies as fatal for Ganon, specifically, but he has been shown to survive impalement through the chest with a magical sword, as well as a deep stab into his face with the Master Sword. He survived those, and was simply sealed into another dimension, or turned to stone for one reason or another in Wind Waker.
=
“He’d have to defeat Percy first if that’s the case.”
–
That’s also debatable. He simply saw his phantom as useless after Link won, and banished it on a whim. Of course, he doesn’t use it on Link, but I think that’s only because of whatever sense of honor he seems to have in these games. Still, he never used it on link, so I guess Percy would still be safe from it…don’t know though.

That one from CV uses manga scans, which aren’t canon, yes? The gifs show some good durability and powers though.

I was actually hoping everyone would ignore the manga parts, as we’re specifically using composite Ganon from the games.

—
Well his small ones can still toss shields and man sized targets around so it should still disrupt the whole levitation thing. Just on a smaller scale.
Double post, sorry
—
I think the phantoms could be dealt with fine as long as Percy is careful. His battlefield awareness should help him in a potential 3 on one scenario.
It would help, but with their range attacks, close range attacks and teleportation, it would whittle him down a bit, and make things harder.
but with their range attacks
—
That are slow enough for Link to dodge. Percy was a casual multi arrow blocker at the start of the series, he’s much faster now.
—
close range attacks and teleportation
—
Percy has the ability to notice and predict muscle movements. He can keep track of a couple dozen things going on at once and has singlehandedly stomped entire Roman and momster squadrons solo. It would take alot to overwhelm him.
So Ganon is invulnerable to the Master Sword’s normal attacks in LTTP. It requires either a Spin Attack, which is explicitly empowered by Link’s inner power, or having the Golden Sword.
–
Either way, Ganon’s defenses in LTTP are considerably more formidable then compared to his other incarnations.
–
Ganon in LOZ was just invisible except when he was struck, and even then he would turn invisible again soon afterwards. He was throwing fireballs while invisible.
–
OoT he can fly. TP; teleport. WW; swordsman on top of being a wizard.
–
So Percy is fighting a nearly invulnerable, flying, teleporting, wizard that can fight beat all but the best swordsmen. … Oh and in FSA he was sending people into the Dark World where they would be corrupted by the area and bent to his will.
–
Also if the entire area go dark then Ganon can use his Darkness Technique and become one-way intangible.
–
Oracles Ganon could confuse his enemies too (shown mechanically as reversed controls).
–
He’s generally immune to magic attacks too, unless they are Holy or Anti-Demon type attacks. Divine fire? merely slowed him down in WW enough to allow Link and Tetra to escape. Link’s spells in any game? Useless unless it is Light Arrows or Silver Arrows (which have an unexplained, unknown, magical property to them that allow them to harm him, so they are probably identical to Light Arrows anyways).
–
Would Agahmin’s abilities be included with Ganon?
Agahmin was a fragment of Ganon’s soul given form. While he is the first case of Dead Man’s Volley in the series, he typically doesn’t share any other trait with Ganon’s skill set. Duplication, teleportation (TP Ganon shares this due to him gaining Twili-magic), transdimentional BFR (again, TP Ganon from Twili-magic; I guess FSA Ganon also had that), Dead Man’s Volley (common to many), shoots Lightning Bolts from his hands ala Emperor Palpatine, and peculiarly can electrocute Link through touch whenever he attacks him with the Master Sword (means that Agahmin can’t be beat from sword strikes), which almost nobody else in the series has (except Chu Chu’s…. damn electric gelly men).
–
EDIT:
Also if Ganon can get Percy to stand still for about 10 seconds, he can cast his Crystal Prison spell on him. That’s how he got Zelda in OoT.
A hurricane with 40 m/s winds on a scale of radius 60 km. generates 1.3 * 10^17 joules per day.
–
www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/D7.html
–
There’s 86,400 seconds in a day, so this would be equal to 1.505 * 10^12 J/s, or 1.505 terawatts per second. Not even an atomic bomb would be able to stop a hurricane.
–
A fully developed hurricane produces up to 50 terawatts and more, according to Wolfram | Alpha. Even Live Science agrees with this. “The heat release, Landsea wrote, ‘is equivalent to a 10-megaton nuclear bomb exploding every 20 minutes.'”

—
Could said swordsman read muscle movements and predict accordingly and effortlessly beat entire squadrons of trained soldiers? I don’t think Ganon has fought a swordsman quite like Percy. Plus he should have a faster combat speed than Link (fights as a blur to the human eye and can blitz enemies before his friends even react).

Also if the entire area go dark then Ganon can use his Darkness Technique and become one-way intangible.

Percy only uses his hands when doing the water hands or the mega hurricane. Otherwise the water control is thought based.

You know, I may actually consider delving deeper into science than I originally planned, thanks in part to the good calcers of this site. Would you recommend it? Like as a side major in college or something.
” I don’t think Ganon has fought a swordsman quite like Percy. ”
–
I don’t think Percy has ever fought an invisible, nigh-invulnerably, flying battle mage before. Though I agree that Percy is probably faster than Link. Some of Link’s speed feats (depending on how you interpret them) can lead to some pretty funny conclusions, like Link being able to run significantly faster than an arrow (using Pegesus Boots in LTTP to outrun arrows).
–
“Celestial Bronze and Imperial Gold have worked on ghosts and wind spirits before.”
–
Explain the ghosts and wind spirits, please. I’d like more context to make a better comparison or contrast to LoZverse ghosts and spirits. I’d guess the best question would be can ghosts and wind spirits be hurt by anything that is not Celestial Bronze?
–
“How does he go about doing this?”
–
Easier to show you. It’s when the floor changes color, 1:10 into the video. This is from the Oracles games, where Ganon had just been brought back to life from a failed resurrection spell and is extremely weakened.

“Percy doesn’t use magic, just a sword specifically meant to harm magical beings. And his hydrokinesis which also includes moinor geo and aerokinesis.”

In a different place, different time, that’s called magic. I could easily simply say that if it isn’t Holy or Anti-Demon (or sufficiently close to either) based then it flat out isn’t going to work against Ganon. I’m being generous in how I’m describing his abilities. Fantastical energy manipulation is generally under the purview of “magic”.
–
I’m not going to bother responding about Agahmin until I find out if that’s actually going to be included in this match.

Cool thanks! I figure it’d be best for me to start planning now instead of right before I begin my next great step in life.
@Nsl98 Um…the X-Men weren’t demigods though. They’re genes just happened to have mutated and brought about abnormal abilities. Percy was born the son of the Greek god of the Ocean, so his powers stem from him.
I’m not sure if it’ll matter, but in Wind Waker, Ganondorf is immune to the Fire and Ice arrows, the latter of which can freeze an active volcano for five minutes. Worth noting is that during this battle, Ganondorf did NOT have the Triforce of Power’s protection.

On Ghosts and Wind Spirits:
Is there any indication that the tangibility of either of them can change at their discretion? Is it possible for a normal object to hit a ghost if the ghost chooses to be tangible?
–
I’m trying to draw parallels to Poes (ghosts from LoZ). Poes transition through a couple different phases. Either they are selectively solid (mundane swords hit here, but walls and the ground don’t), or they are invisible and unable to be hit (unless you have wolf senses apparently, and being able to notice them allows you to him them, in which case they act like the previous phase).
–
So I’m basically wondering if maybe the ghosts there might simply have gotten hit before they could render themselves fully intangible.
–
“A near instant ground attack that may or may not give Percy an epileptic seizure would be pretty effective.”
–
It is not inherently attached to the ground. Jumping does not cancel out the effect.
–
“What about Anti monster?”
–
How generic? How specific? Is there anything closer to Holy or Anti-Demon, or Anti-Evil? Something so generic probably wouldn’t work. Not specific enough. … unless it is shown to work against demons really well. Does it work on demons in-universe? Do demons even exist in that universe?
–
“I don’t think Myrmidon will show. We kinda pissed him off over on Kharn vs Spider-Man”
–
I’ll just nix the Agahmin abilities then. I don’t actually think they add much of anything. On second glance, most of Agahmin’s abilities are covered by some version of Ganon anyways.
–
“Would you consider the mutant abilities of the X Men magical?”
–
As far as Ganon’s defenses are concerned? Yes! Some of them anyways. Storm’s ability. Sure. Ganon’s No-Selled more impressive weather manipulation spells than what she’s pulled off. Pyro’s fire? Ganon wouldn’t give a shit. Even psychic powers are not entirely outside Ganon’s experience; he even has some of his own, although he rarely uses them. Some of the more exotic stuff would have to be settled on a case by case basis though. Limited pool of samples, out of context problems, orders of magnitudes of difference in scale… there are a lot of things to consider, but just as a blanket statement… yeah, I’d say that their powers would be effectively identically to magic where similarities overlap.

So…. technically a poe and the wind spirits are intangible…. but the wind spirits seem to be intangible because they are made of gas? whereas poes shit have a solid form that things just pass through. Would we treat those as the same thing??? Gas is still in of itself tangible. Where as LoZ intangibles are solid masses that things pass through….. it that makes any sense….

Jason started fighting them off after Piper’s failed strikes. So they would have already been in intangible mode.

Every time Percy slashed one of them down, the ghost reformed immediately.

As a general rule ghosts tend to have a selective relationship with tangibility. Different takes on ghosts can have different rules though.
–
I’m going to concede on Celestial Bronze being able to strike intangible targets though.
–
“LoZ has people who can manipulate and create storms on a continental to planetary scale?”
–
Specifically Ganondorf has similar abilities. Not quite the same, but similar. Depending on how you interpret an event in Wind Waker, either Ganondorf created a storm that was so huge it covered all of Hyrule for days on end and blotted out the sun. Or he stopped the planet from rotating while also creating a huge storm that covered all of Hyrule. In game dialog refers to it as “stopping time” but that isn’t quite right because time still progresses, but the dawn never arrives. Naturally, he uses magic to accomplish this.
–
Link could summon storms in OoT and MM too by using magical music. There are gods in WW that are in charge of the weather.
–
Also something to keep in mind is that I was referring to Storm from the movies and animated shows. I know that wasn’t clear though. Sorry for the confusion. Also mind you, the entire premise for Wind Waker is that the entire world has been flooded via divine intervention from the top three Goddesses of the series in order to stop Ganondorf (along with a bunch of other people doing other stuff to stop him too)… He got better.
“Ramkin’s back! Yaaaaay!”
–
eh… kinda.
– – –
“I’m going to concede on Celestial Bronze being able to strike intangible targets though.”
–
Im not.
Storm spirits seem to turn into gas, so even though objects can pass trough them, a metal that specifically kills monsters that passes through them will come into contact with the particles that make up the monster and therefore kill it.
–
Something that can be legitimately intangible. Can not actually be touched by the metal in any way, and therefore the effect will not work. Is the way i see it. If you show me celestial bronze hurting something that has no physical form at all, not even gas, then i concede the point.
“Well he is a dragon god.”

Well Percy is gonna have a rough time then.
—
So will Riptide at least be enough to slow Ganon down? Otherwise Percy is stuck fighting a nigh unkillable wizard death machine. Percy has some good endurance, but Ganon might just be too durable for Percy to make a difference.
“I thought he was some kind of…. guardian…. thing….. hmmm dragon deity it is then..”
–
Guardian spirits are minor deities in LoZ. Lord Jabu Jabu, Great Deku Tree, and the four Light Spirits from TP are also gods.
–
“Oh, my bad. Sorry.:”
–
It’s fine. I wasn’t clear at first.
–
“Well Percy is gonna have a rough time then.”
–
Took Ganon a while though. Centuries. But there were also other magical forces sealing him away aside from just an ocean of water.
–
I think Percy does have a chance. Since Friendly says Riptide can kill demons, that should be enough to at lease qualify it as an analogy to Evil’s Bane. That basically equates it to the Master Sword, more or less. Against most versions of Ganon this is enough to allow someone to fight on relatively equal footing in a sword match. Against LTTP Ganon, and his buffed up defense, this means that only the strongest attacks from that sword would be making any significant damage.
–
As for Percy’s weather control, regardless of whether or not it is viable for direct damage against Ganon, he should be able to use it for battlefield control. Blocking off areas, creating/destroying cover, putting distance between himself and Ganon, creating choke points. If he gets creative this can be a valuable advantage.
–
On the flip side, Ganon can do that too to some degree. TP Ganon created magic barriers to prevent Link from escaping (or Midna from interfering during the first phase of that boss fight). Same with OoT Ganon creating a fire barrier to keep Zelda from helping out. LttP Ganon’s Darkness Technique involved him deliberately darkening the battle arena, and shortly before he creates pit falls to throw Link down (mechanically speaking this causes Link to exit the battle and forces the player to restart the battle from phase one all over again). So Ganon isn’t afraid to alter the battlefield to his advantage either, but I think Percy’s weather control can do so more dramatically, and Ganon doesn’t often fight people who can actually pull stuff like that off so it is a bit out of his normal experience range.
–
Of course Ganon being able to fly and be constantly invisible is some pretty handy trick that does mitigate a lot of a battlefield advantage.
Here’s going on based with what I’d know:
Percy without any Enhancements(Styx-related or otherwise) and/or Chameleon Armor or Nemean Lion Armor vs either OoT, WW or TP Ganondorf = A fight that’s potentially anyone’s game depending on who makes the fewer mistakes, both are bloody Physically Strong on top of Supernatural Might on their side.
Percy(w/out with I’d list above) against Ganondorf with OoT, TP and WW Powers and showings allowed = the Uphill campaign starts rolling in and nothing less than all the stops being pulled onward is gonna help Percy.
Percy (w/out any of the above) vs a Ganondorf based on one of the 3 Great LoZ Timelines and/or Hyrule Warriors!-Ganondorf = The Uphill Campaign keeps escalating, The Son of Demise is clearly going for broke, if Percy don’t do the same on TOP of using all his Martial Skill and Prowess, he’s beyond screwed at any rate.
Percy vs Total Composite Ganondorf = If Percy has none-of-the-above I listed up at this point, well this much horrifies me, I’ll not deny it.
Given that the fight is in New York, the best Percy’s got to divert TC!-Ganondorf long enough to close in before its too late relies on tossing as many Vehicles the opponent’s way as possible, Bloodlust or Despair are the only ‘known’ ways thus far for Percy to pull out his Trump Cards unless he’s got the Skill and Discipline needed to do so without such things by now.
Percy’s best bet is to hazard undergoing Poison to embrace the Bloodlust or Despair, but even with Poison Control regarded this move’s a double-edged weapon at best as Percy needs to be in constant control of all that Poison he’d have to risk.
I can’t believe I’m suggesting a Risky proposition to consider, no lies.
I just know that Percy hits quicker and harder if/when bloodlust or despair kicks in, that goes for his Supernatural Might as well while Supernatural Skill be up-for-grabs.
Any attempts at Poisoning Percy = SOMEONE’S GONNA DIE unless the Poison gets purged and Percy snaps out of it.

I dunno what horrifies me more, the fact I’m saying more beyond the initial post, the idea I just proposed, or me working to get it together for a fight like this after all that’s happened?
I’ve no doubt if the Triforce of Power gets factored in, Ganondorf’s Defenses and Might(both Physically and Supernaturally Speaking) are Amped accordingly, that’s gonna threaten Percy’s Magic-Resistances in general no doubt.
I also remember that Percy fought Non-Godly Magic-Users before, some of whom are Magic Knights as well when noting on Carter Kane and other folks.
this means that only the strongest attacks from that sword would be making any significant damage.
—
Well off the top of my head, his strongest sword strikes have caused the ground to shake beneath him. His more casual ones have him effortlessly cutting through stone and various types of metal.
—
In terms of his non striking strength, he can pick up and throw a Minotaur, and a quick Google search reveals that the average bull weighs anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000 pounds. He can also strangle large sea monsters bare handed and literally beat a Cyclops to near death.
—
TP Ganon created magic barriers to prevent Link from escaping
—
How tall are these? Percy can leap 20 ft into the air without a running start.
—
Same with OoT Ganon creating a fire barrier to keep Zelda from helping out.
—
Percy has some degree of heat resistance. Could the fire be put out with water? Or feirce hurricane wind?
—
Ganon’s Darkness Technique involved him deliberately darkening the battle arena
—
Percy’s Demigod senses and awareness have allowed him to fight while blinded before. Riptide also glows and he’s used it as a light at various points in the series.
—
Those prolly won’t help him against the pit fall resets though. How would the reset thing translate into an FP fight? Would it literally restart?
—
If he gets creative this can be a valuable advantage.
—
Most likely. They are in New York, so there won’t be any shortage of water for him to use.
“Since Friendly says Riptide can kill demons, that should be enough to at lease qualify it as an analogy to Evil’s Bane. That basically equates it to the Master Sword, more or less.”
–
Even then, I don’t think it’d be enough, given that the. Triforce of Power has allowed him to survive even a stab through the face against the Master Sword itself in OoT.

“Percy has some degree of heat resistance. Could the fire be put out with water? Or feirce hurricane wind?”

I think it’s somewhat debatable, considering there was a time where Ganon froze things with Red Ice, which could only be melted by a magical Blue Fire that was exceedingly cold.

What about repeated sword strikes to the face? Percy is alot stronger (striking wise) and faster than Link…

That’s….weird. How does that effect fire though? Has he only done it with ice?
@OriginalA
Valoo is more accurately a sky spirit and a guardian spirit. You could say these are equivalent to being a god, but as a tutelary god, Valoo would seem to only have power of a local area, or he would be seen as a god of a particular people or culture. Athena of Athens would be an example. I’m not sure how his flame is sacred fire. Put another way, if a god urinates, is his urine effective against a demons?

BankGambling: a place where questions only like this would be asked.
“What about repeated sword strikes to the face? Percy is alot stronger (striking wise) and faster than Link…”

He seems to take that as well, if the ending of Ocarina of time is anything to go by. Link did hit him a few times before the stab, and even then Ganon still had to be sealed into another dimension in order for them to be victorious.

Like I said, it’s debatable. He has only done it with ice, but it was created by Ganon using magic. Considering the flames that Ganon uses to cut Link off from Zelda in Ocarina of Time only rose because of his own doing, and only fell, because he was stunned, it seems likely that those flames were created through magic as well, and may not have the same properties as normal fire.
Again, this is more like speculation, so…

Believe it or not, I have in my possession a series where this is actually a thing. All the various humors from the Gods can be used for magic and shenanigans. A God spits on a dagger and turns it into a dagger that heals you as fast as it cuts you; he then stabbed the protagonist in the shoulder with it and left it in for a few minutes.
And yes, all of the bodily humors can be used in different ways. Another God uses his sweat to flash freeze a large chunk of the ocean.

Hmmmm…..
I think one of the only other ways for Percy to end this would be for him to get the Olympians to make a special prison or something. But that’s outside help, so never mind.
—

—
In this case, its probably justified. The fire may very well be tied to his will.

@Friendly
What series is this?!?!
@Friendlysociopath
That’s funny.
What series is this?!?!
–
It’s called the Godslayer Chronicles.

I’ve been tempted to try getting Tylar a match but he’s kind of hax. The shadow-thing inside of him will literally destroy anything it touches that isn’t the same sort of shadow-thing.
I might have to check it out then. Been meaning to find new material.
