"Wow, SHQ says, that he has now a Catastrophe equipped. Think, thats not fair, opponents should not get better equipment, so younger battlers will have it much harder to beat him. Will there be a second one at another time of day, so others can try their luck, too?"
Actually personally I think its fair, since when his set was last done, he had some of the best items available at the time, so it only makes sense that he would be updated to keep up with the stronger weapons made available to us. So he's still just as hard as he was last time he was out.
Boo. I missed him. 
It would be nice if they made this one a permanent challenger

I can understand the disappointment of certain users. I wasn't interested in attempting to defeat him, but I think the complaints are valid. Especially if this has happened several times and their chance only comes once per year.
Perhaps I'll be ready to take him on next time he comes around 
My pet is getting there at least 
I saw him this time, but wasn't ready equipment-wise.
Darn, totally missed this...maybe next time I guess. I didn't realize they only get released one at a time.
Thats sad, I was hoping to fight one this time around. Oh well. I do hope another might be coming soon?
"urgh, final boss and it was beaten in an hour? Cool..isn't it time to increase the difficulty here? or new boss if i may say? giggles"
I'd assume thats probably because the people winning have the strongest pets? If its difficulty were increased, it would still be the same ones of us winning, others would just have even less of a chance. After all it started with a bit over 1 million HP.
Where it was going. I can't found It!!!
Good morning nice -.-
They only release a single one altogether? So what's the point of this?!
Also I find it ... strange ... (just looked at the high scores) that it's always the same and just right those very 3 people, who get to challenge him, esp. at such a weird time of day - erm, night? How come?
"urgh, final boss and it was beaten in an hour? Cool..isn't it time to increase the difficulty here? or new boss if i may say? giggles"
More complaints will come. 
Also, if you kill it once...then twice, the difficulty of the Hydragellos does go up quite dramatically. So if someone wins, it'll be harder the next time. The only thing that makes the Hydragellos easy is the fact it doesn't do much damage, and pets with high HP will clean house with Turkey Quill or God/Goddess Weapons.

"Lmao, i only saw your first post (not the bit that was cut off) so, you can see how my reply makes sense if you hadnt corrected whatever went wrong
So the last idea to be attacked by me, i take back? XD"
Then I take my response back too xD
"3. Limited amount of times someone can beat something? How about no? Heard of the word bitter before?"
That's quite the educated and mature response.

"There's many ways to release a rare challenger while still allowing a lot of people the chance to beat it. Release one once an hour (at a random time each hour) for a day or two. That gives people in different time zones and with offsite obligations (ie jobs) a chance at killing one if they desire to. Or you could release one once a day at varying times, or heck, release more then one at a time.
I think though that a limit should be placed on how many times you can beat something like this when its released."
My message got cut off...
Just to add on to the end, I don't mean to say that you can only ever beat the guy X amount of times, but a time delay like most activities on here have would be nice. For instance, you could only beat one once ever 4 hours or something, if they were to do a staggered hourly release or release a bunch of them at one time.
And grats Phenomenon on beating him!
I have to agree with Distinction on this one. There's typically more then 800 users on here at a time, generally more then 1000 if the sites been up long enough. Releasing /one/ battle opponent isn't fair in any sense of the word. Sure, maybe you aren't trying to be fair, but in my mind its sort of like a slap in the face to everyone who wanted a chance to try their luck against the opponent.
Considering that only 8 of the things have been released on the site, I don't think saying "There's next time" is any sort of consolation. Whose to say the next time won't be over a year from now, or even at all really.

congrats to whoever took him out it was fun figuring out how to take huge chunks off him, my invisible cloak did the job nicely =D
wow LOL. I've been fighting and waiting for this thing to appear for three days and it's gone in an hour. That's.. just great
10:33 the news, now it's 11:33 (4 o'clock in the morning! mere chance I drop in now) and none of them there anymore? I've never seen one of those in the 3 times (?) they have been around. This is getting annoying! Obviously they are not easy ones, anyway, so how come/why are there not enough for everyone to at least try them?
"if you were unable to battle it, clearly, there is a next time."
Well, after a year and a half on the site, I have to say that there is most certainly a next time, and I will just as certainly miss it evidentally.
A lot of things about the site are luck. People have to.. just learn to deal with it I guess? Not everyone gets items that are released in the token shop, or whatever. Just try again next time, I suppose.
"Like too way too many other things here, it all comes down to being on the site at exactly the right time."
I think you will find, im very inactive now, but it doesnt take much 'common sense' to realise, that he would be released when the Golems were all, or nearly all gone, so... it wasnt hard to time being online at the right time
Either way, i had some fun here again, and... thats the most important thing?
And now im back up there as one of the more unpopular users, i can go and finish watching Lost
Decrease stat multiplier upon winning...that's my suggestion. Took me almost 45 minutes. x_x Ouch.
Well, would it be so bad to just plan it ahead of time and say "x challenger will be here at y time"? That way it would give more of the interested parties a chance at playing along, instead of it just being a luckfest. And lest I be misunderstood - no, I'm not saying that it's luck to defeat the opponent I know that takes training and weapons. But whether or not you even get to join the fray is all about luck.
Yes, of course.
We can say.
sMail us when you're online, so we can release it while you're online!
Opponents are released when they are released. if you were unable to battle it, clearly, there is a next time.
I'm more than happy to listen to suggestions from the people who feel disappointed - how would you like to see this be 'fairer' for you?
This business of special opponents on this site is getting to the point of being repeatedly disappointing. Like too way too many other things here, it all comes down to being on the site at exactly the right time. And for the third time since this challenger has been released, I of course wasn't at the computer. I know that not all of life is fair, but there's got to be a better way to handle this than the way it's being handled now.
xD
Lets not even comment on this one.
The past 2 where letdowns as well.

He is gone ;-;
If you look at the high scores, it says that The_Phenomenon beat him a third time... It was only two times earlier.
O_o I don't see it there... Did someone beat him?
Total Damage: 1269 LOL he called me a Loser XD
He's not unlimited, I think his HP just goes down everytime he's defeated...
His difficult display has been fixed.
And there's only one, so it shouldn't be displaying as unlimited. :/
xD Yay I can live through one round with him! err...that's not good
Haha is there a reason he's listed as easy? I thought for a minute there he might be like Punch Bag Bob over on Neo, but he's definitely not!
How many of him are there? He looks... unlimited, which, sort of ruins the big boss thing?
How do you get to him?
Dang,
I just might have to give that a try.
He looks like jelly.
I wonder if he's edible too? o.0
oh boo, not enough health yet, eh gotta keep plodding long then one day... pow zing you're mine
e.e
o.o holy smacks no way I'd beat him
Why is he listed as easy?
UUUUUUUUGLY
