A Grand Battle

An organism that rapidly proceeds through stages of its life cycle, growing more complicated and advanced every so often. A robot that is building itself a new body from its framework skeleton. A dragon, but dragons are actually chunks of dead gods and they collects souls to shepherd them into the next life. A space marine with post-traumatic stress disorder from fighting too long against the insectoid aliens. A pair of anthropomorphized cephalopod disc jockey techno wizards. An individual who's from an evolutionary branch of humanity and carries with him the memories of his now-extinct human forefathers. An overgrown psychic alien leech inside of a life-support pod mounted on tank treads. A giant bat.
