TF Zoo: The Scout
After taking a hard look at the TF2 cast, I took it upon myself to create several comparisons between the cast we know and love, and several animals. Join me as I jump into a world of excitement, danger, and metaphors.
Today we will be comparing the scout.
Think about the Scout’s play-style: Scouts are fast and aggressive, but not too strong. He should keep his distance on bigger classes, such as the Heavy and the Soldier. He should usually go for them while they are wounded or retreating.
Now think about the Scout’s personality: He loves to laugh at other people’s expense, he always seems to be some-what happy, but at the same time he also seems to be very angry.
Now which animal comes to mind?
Since I’m the one writing, I get to choose. So shut up.
Closest Relation: Spotted Hyena
They usually hunt in packs (Have you ever seen a scout rush into 3 enemies alone?), they are very aggressive when it comes to hunting, aren’t the biggest and strongest of predators, and scavenge very often.
As for the personality, I’ll assume you’ve seen The Lion King.
This concludes the Scout portion of TF Zoo. Visit us next time as we dive deeper into the class list.
Another new author! They seem to be breeding. Everyone shake hands with the CrabGuy.

just to point out the hyaena is the second largest carnivore in Africa but everything else you said is spot on looking forward to the others,

What’s the spy, then? A baboon with an ass for a face?

Spy would be more like an owl you do not see, him you do not here him until it is to late and he burns pretty good ( no I do not set birds on fire butt feathers burn pretty well). Another Option would be a mosquito you do not see it coming and when it makes anoying sounds *BZZZZZZ* “Mosquito is sapin my sleep!” And you are very, satisfied when you kill it before it stings. (Try to facestab my rocket punk!)

“Butt feathers burn pretty well”
That made my day.

So true. Coolest thing on Ubercharged since the Ubercharged server opened and it’s been flooded with weird in-server jokes.

I was about to say, Hyenas are mean little bastards. I do think they are cute tho. Always laugh, like the scout. Not that I think the scout is cute mind you.

Damn, I want to watch the Lion King again now.
Or dub it with Team Fortress 2 sounds.
BOTH.
