Tis the Christmas season (or Advent to be theologically accurate), and in the spirit of the season, the lovely blogger over at Later Levels has decided to celebrate the 12 Days of Christmas a few days earlier with 12 gaming related questions for all of us good, little gaming elves out there.  These are my responses.

🎅   21 December 2017:   You receive a call from Santa, as the elves desperately need a hand in the workshop getting all the toys ready. Which video game character would you recruit to help out?

In order to have extra hands, you have to have extra arms, and one of the best “armed” creatures out there is an octopus.  Obviously, we’d have to get Ultros to cooperate, and that’s the real Christmas miracle.

Just look how much he can lift!

He does wind up employed by the Coliseum, so I suppose he could be convinced to do some respectable work, so long as no kids tease him, and none of the elves attempt to make seafood soup.

Who would you pick to help out Santa and his crew?  Would it be someone with multiple limbs?  Super speed?  Strength?  Let’s discuss in the comments!
