The Turritopsis Dohrnii aka immortal jellyfish can live forever by transforming back into their juvenile polyp state after reproducing. They retract their tentacles, their bodies shrink, and they sink to the ocean floor and start the life cycle all over again. They only die by being eaten by a predator or contracting a disease.

9897 Dragons Challenge

Once again, the Mega Bloks Dragons box designers don’t know how to use apostrophes.

So it’s pretty obvious what this set is: a chess set, with Warfang and Valtheran warriors in place of the pieces.  Which is supposed to be white and which is supposed to be black, I have no idea.  The instruction booklet asserts that “the light color pieces play first,” but is that the Warfang or the Valtheran?  Neither really seems lighter- or darker-colored than the other to me.

It came with a coppery-scaled dragon with a red crystal.  I couldn’t find a photograph of it.

It also came out in 2002, which puts it three years ahead of LEGO’s first chess set (the Knight’s Kingdom chess set), if I’m not mistaken.

EDIT:  According to @thegreatgodofmineworld, the dragon’s name is Darkwraith.

Thunder hold on beat Spurs 98-97, even series at 1-1 (Yahoo Sports) The Oklahoma City Thunder nearly gave the game away in a wild final sequence that referees acknowledge should have been blown dead before it started.
