On the island of Theodoria every four years all the monsters of the land would have a monster Olympics. Each of the four tribes would choose their colors, their teams and the beasts to ride. This year's main event is an obstacle-filled race across Theodoria. The victorious team wins a crocodile (which is an island tradition for victorious tribes). The Buckeye tribe has been winning the Olympics for the past 20 years but this year the furious tribe of Wolverines vow revenge and promise to bring the crocodile home to their village. The remaining tribes plan on winning as well. The race begins with all monsters yelling with a mighty roar. The Boilermaker tribe jumped the river first while the Spartan tribe was kicked out of the race for throwing a camel in the way of the Buckeyes. The mighty tribe of the Wolverines won the day by making a flying leap over the lake and the goalposts. With great enthusiasm they carry the crocodile back to their village while giving a mighty roar so that all of Theodoria knows that the Wolverines are the leaders and the best tribe on Thodoria. The end.
