LICKER (Fusion) 169-57-7 Half-elf - Pole Ax, Open Hand, Pole Ax

Licker was inspired by Burning Butterfly, who died young, but was tearing through people when I made Licker, and he turned out better than I could have hoped; living to be the 4th longest lived Helf in BP history, and taking records for best 100 fight Helf, Best 150 fight Helf and second best 200 fight Helf as well as placing well in the overall win/loss records with number 8 at 100, number 2 at 150 and number 4 at 200 fights.    

Big thanks to Dux and Vic for keeping those records.  I hoped Licker would be the first Half Elf to 250 but it was not to be; damn Balrog!

Licker was 25(18)-22(14)-20(12)-21(14)-12(3)-10 with masters in Pole Axe, Dodge, Parry, Charge, Lunge, Init, Feint, Brawl, and Sweep.

Here's his final fight so you can enjoy the triple perm that gave him his last tummy ache.
