Interesting information in those omakes Triggerhappy. And sounds like there are quite a lot of bosses still out there, that no one really feels like even trying to beat. Hopefully if they ignore them long enough, some of them will die or otherwise become harmless.

Oh you would be able to kill Tanngjostr easily. You just lure him into a First-Rater's worth of cannon fire and then have 30+ mages nova AOE spells until the rock starts to vaporize.Quickshot0 said:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Exiting the hidden entrance tunnel to his older brother's sanctum Tanngrisnir shed the cunning disguise he had procured and let his eyes adjust to the orbs of flame that flickered to life at his presence.
He made his way with a tranquillity and lack of haste that he doubted the Fae would believe of him, bypassing traps and dead ends to reach his brother. The [<Tunnel Wyrm]> he dragged behind him would likely be enough to rouse his older brother from all that "Meditation".
Coming to his goal, Tanngrisnir quirked a brow at the dozen or so Beastmen (and women) scurrying out of the chamber where his brother was trying to commune with their fellow Beast Gods through the World Tree's ever present conduit. That or sleeping, he couldn't tell the difference and his brother always opted to box his ears rather than explain it.
His thoughts came screeching to a halt when he beheld the sight of Mighty Tanngjostr, the Demon Knight, the Vanguard of the Beast Gods, Wiser and Stronger then his brother by far. Not bothering to hold back his deep bellows of laughter, Tanngrisnir dumped his cargo on the floor and tried not to explode with mirth while he waited for the smell to reach his brother.
Tanngjostr woke (though he would later insist he was emerging from Meditation) with the speed of a Warrior and the discipline of a true Stoic. Then ruined the effect by gaping openly at the shrine that had been built around his body. The mark of the Beastkin was plain to see, elaborate and beautiful construction from entirely primitive materials, they had incorporated his posture perfectly. They had also shown no thought for what would happen when their honoured target of worship wanted to get up.
Tanngjostr spoke with the voice of thunder, "Thrym take the-!"He cut himself off in time, oaths like that had power and he would give none of his own to the machinations of the enemy. Turning his attention to his younger brother's uproarous laughing he snapped, "This is the fourth time!"
Tanngrisnir promptly fell to the floor with the force of his amusement.
EDIT: To be clear, he is mostly genuinely meditating. He just doesn't bother to move when he decides to catch a short rest.
EDIT 2: I may write one for [<<i]Vedolfnir the Withering Winds[/i]>> too.
EDIT 3: In case anyone cares, my decidedly non-canon thoughts on mindset.
Like Beastkin and Beast Gods they are neither hostile to Fae nor truly allied.
Tanngrisnir is a vaguely honourable Blood Knight, prone to Bestial Fury when roaming and total Ice-cold Berserker Rage when in true combat.
Tanngjostr on the other hand is a truly honourable Dark Knight type. Somewhat of a Warrior Poet, he shares his brother's eager love of battle and consideration of entering it as akin to permission to kill, however this is tempered by genuine wisdom and a (slightly grumpy) appreciation for all life.
Certainly, like all truly aligned with the Wise Beasts and/or the World Tree he would never harm a Pixie and will fight the Jotun (and the Aesir, should they too attempt conquest) to the very end.
Unfortunately, given that he truly loves his brother and considers himself honourbound to protect and guide the Beastkin; few players if any ever entered his Sanctum without immediately triggering [<Homicidal Rage Flag]> due to having killed the aforementioned.

Robo Jesus, the misspellings bother me as well, but Triggerhappy probably won't go back and fix them if you just post them here. If you really want better spelling in his (her?) snips, PM Trigger and ask if you can beta or something.

The reporting of mistakes in the chapters is something that has been happening since the very beginning of this story, and from several sources at that. Robo Jesus isn't the only one.TheLeadingMan said:
TH has come out and thanked people for their corrections, also. Part of what I've noticed about Space Battles is this forum as a whole tends to count as a beta reader.

There will then be an elaborate side quest where Kirito will meet Tanngjostr and is taught the ways of doing battle as a Beast God. As in the normal vain of a character receiving incredible power, getting by on brute force, and then getting their ass kicked and retrained by a master in how to actually use that power. Cause there are differences between being a Fae/human sized critter and a twenty meter tall mass of barely contained, magically enhanced killing machine. Cue Tanngjostr doing stupid shit like making Kirito balance an egg in a human sized spoon, or hold his Bestial Form transformation until his mana pool is completely dry and he collapses from exhaustion.Anzer'ke said:
And then there's the sparring practice.
[<The two Baphomet's faced each other, almost completely blocking the corridor like a pair of living walls. Behemoths of raw, physical power, children of a time when the world was still young, a place of ice and fire. Although both were of the same build and massive size, identical in virtually every way, there was a distinct impression that one was the young and uncertain student and the other the wise master.
"And most importantly you must remember my student." Tanngjostr said solemnly as he raised a single clawed finger. "When you do honorable battle, you must allow your opponent a chance at victory by not using your most powerful attack or changing your attack patterns until you are almost dead!"
The second Baphomet stared hard at the first, a dark haired Faerie girl atop his head nodding sagely as she took notes. Kirito had to admit, transforming into a titanic monster did have its benefits. He didn't even have to try or subtlety. His facepalms could shake mountains.]>

The idea that the monster behind Kirito's gleam eyes form, Tanngrisnir is an ambush predator would terrify me to unending amounts if I had to deal with it.
Twenty meter tall super quick firespewing death machine that focuses on stealth based combat is bad news on a whole new level.
The only question left is how good is its stealth abilities, are we talking regular good or 'Creed' good?

I keep having this hilarious image of Myoz getting her hands on a GM card/terminal just as Kirito and Asuna arrive to stop her.slugboy said:
Luckily, Bishop detects the intrusion and locks her out almost immediately, unluckily, she had acess just long enough to neutralize Kirito and Asuna. When hte reinforcements arrive, they find nothing but two piles of discarded clothes and two ragout rabbits, one black and one white. (Thankfully Silica was their to facilitate basic communication and clarify that they aren't for eating.)
Hilarity ensues as they race to get their hands on the card and return to their normal bodies. While stuck with the form and stats of a normal Ragout Bunny
