@elaruu is known outside of scratch mostly because of Elaruuians opening portals to @elaruu in the SOSC, Gaehive, GWDFI, the Scratch Awards and the Scratch Winter Olympics (where @elaruu competed as a country, first alone and then merged with Team Australia).
Many Griffpatchers believe that Elaruu is overrated.
However, the current dormant war is no longer between @elaruu and @elbrus or elaruu and the griffpatchers but between Elaruu and the Scratch Team.
