Welp.

Time for Episode 2 of 'Laius is a Dog' Boogaloo.

I dunno... we did recently have the genderswap omake... Maybe it'll become canon!

Did the fairy turn into a staff, or does she just show up when it's unsummoned?

Also, it seems elves are poor judges of emotion... Really adds to their otherworldly aura. Happy to see them? Angry? They just see lesser beings doing whatever such creatures do.

Man, Dullahan are no joke. I wonder how many monsters could earn the 'Run, don't bother trying to fight it, just run" command from Laius.

And then it hits its head on the ceiling twice.

I think, maybe? I got more the impression that they were some kind of spirit or something. At least, not a classic, has-a-phylactery, style lich.

Maybe the whole dungeon is the phylactery!

On the other hand, he's perfect when succubi show up. Instantly stabs the idealised double of the party member you crush on. "They were an inch taller, and their hair was shinier."

Everything in the manga is pleasing. They could reskin Chichack into a rampant sex-pest pervert, and they'd make it a satisfying story about some kind of dungeon-parasite that infected him and culminate in Laius getting fondled while Senshi cooks an antidote.

That rabbit just broke Laius' neck! Good thing Marcille has extra protection there, but if the rabbits are smart enough to lure them to an ambush, they may be smart enough to go for somewhere less instantly-crippling but still devastating, like a kneecap...

My first kobold encounter was Baldur's Gate, where they were yipping things that came in swarms and decayed your metal gear. Lizard-ish, but pretty low resolution.



To muddy the waters even further, I imagine plenty of people's first Kobolds were from WoW. You no take candle!



Rat-people.


Oh, and Lufia may have been janky translation, but apparently cobalt was named after the Germanic mine spirits because of it's tendancy to poison ores, like the Baldur's Gate kobolds. Most accurate depiction? Maybe not. The traditional kobold was, like classic goblins, pixies and other mischevious sprites, basically a short ugly person, but one of it's distinguishing characteristic is that it typically took the form of a humanoid, an animal, a fire or... a candle.

Alita was a full-on intentional renaming rather than a mistranslation. It's really more of a Bulma Clause.
