I have a confession to make guys. This census has been really hard on me. Why is that you may ask? Because being a complete ass for the lulz is not my natural state of being, except when confronted by stupidity. So all of you with the exception of Shlup have made it fairly difficult to keep this up over the course of the entire census. So I think we'll tone it down a bit for today and likely tomorrow since up next we have:

Favourite Non-Boss Enemy

I mean it really is hard to smurf this one up since there are so many great monster designs in this series, and well, you guys actually didn't smurf it up. In fact, I'd go so far as to say the only way to smurf it up would have been to vote for an FFXIII specific monster or variant. And that's not just me trolling FFXIII as I usually do, I mean it. Most of the enemies in that game were pretty poorly designed. But looking at the results I don't see any FFXIII specific names that I recognize so well done folks.

I'm also not going to bother dragging out the reveal of first place this time since this census was already twice the length of the last one and this reveal is dragging on long enough as it is.

So in third place on this one we had a tie between:

Bomb (2 votes)

and Behemoth (2 votes)

What can you say really. Both really embody their names quite well. I mean if the name Bomb wasn't a dead give away I'd still be surprised if that guy didn't blow himself up. And Behemoth, despite some questionable visual interpretations on occasion, is basically the living embodiment of power and rage, and let's be honest here, when we saw this guy for the first game in whatever game we first played, just seeing him scared the crap out of us.

In second place we have:

Cactuar (3 votes)

Again, he looks pretty much like what you would expect from seeing the name. Not to mention being a relatively simple design that not only gets the point (no pun intended) across right away and has become a mascot for the series for a reason. And no, not because he looks ready to slurp his way to the top of the mascot pile if you no what I mean (and seriously, if he offers, say no).

Finally, in first place is:

Tonberry (4 votes)

Another simple, understated design, made slightly creepy by the way he brandishes that knife and inches menacingly towards your party. His cuteness obscuring the very real danger he poses to you and everyone you love. A well deserved first place.

And because I (pretend) to like you guys so much, we'll finish off today with:

Favorite Boss Design

I'm picking a third place finisher to show at random because everyone who wasn't in the top two tied for third. So what will I choose?

Third PlaceCidolfus Demen Bunansa

Why Cid? Because FFXII doesn't get nearly enough love on this forum and I'm running this show mother smurfers.

And in second with a miniscule 2 votes we have Black Waltz. I'll admit I'm a little disappointed here since it doesn't specify which Black Waltz. But I guess all of us Black Mages must look the same to you people huh? So here's a picture of Black Waltz No. 3:

Racist hicks...

And finally, in first place we have Ultima Weapon with 3 votes. Like a lot of picks in the last category he's gone through a lot of variations over the years, so here's my favourite one, and the one I think is by far the most menacing:

Six smurfing legs and literally exhales badass? Yeah, I had dreams of this guy hunting me down when I was a kid.
