Hey, Capcom somehow managed to get a one-eyed octopus-type thing to fit
the fighting game format (Marvel Super Heroes, Marvel vs. Capcom). When
you're dealing with cartoon characters instead of digitized fighters
like Mortal Kombat, you have a lot of leeway. Another example of this is
the Tekken series, which features lots of bizarre fighters including a
bear, a kangaroo, a velociraptor and Gon (a cute li'l dinosaur from a
Japanese manga).

It'd be cool to (copyright issues aside) see the BSD daemon waving
around his pitchfork like Darth Maul :)
