toys of my youth question

[azal]

guys I need some help...

I can't remember what these thing were called and it's absolutely killing me.

I had like 200 of them.

They are really small, warrior like creatures, with an emblem on their chests that you rub and it reveals either water, fire, or wood.

and then you'd fight with them.....water beats fire, fire beats wood, wood beats water......

it was like the physical and commercial manifestation of rock, paper, scissors...

what were they called????

and pics are appreciated because I've lost them all.

battlebeasts were not nearly as creepy as pokemon is.

Ok, I have a similar question. There were these ads in some magazine, maybe Boys' Life or something, for little ghosts that lived in a closet, and the ad was the first paragraph of a story and ended right as they were about to pass through the Heaven's Gate-style keyhole. You were supposed to then buy the toys and books to find out what happened!

WHAT WERE THEY???

For some sick reason, the penguin was one of my favorite Battle Beasts-- second only to the creepy purple spider-thing.
