"Order of the Stick: More speculation on the Thing in the Box" Topic

So, following Alxbate's previous curiosity TMP link , I think we know have definitive proof of at least one aspect of the identity of the Thing in the Box (or the Thing in the Darkness): As I suspected, it is definitely an immature monster of some sort.

So, anyone else have thoughts?

Will we ever know?

Is that the same thing that hides in the shade of a pink parasol?

I kinda like the unknown aspect of the thing in the box.

Man, I have no idea. I like your ideas of it being a small young earth dragon, and I agree with your assessment of it being Neutral (but probably really scary looking, easily confused with an evil monster – I think that Xykon thinks it's evil-er and smart-er than it really is).

As for what level the players are, Rich Berlew has said himself he hasn't given them a specific level; he likes the flexibility of being able to use them however for a joke to work.

Poor O-Chul. But at least he's not Miko…

Is that the same thing that hides in the shade of a pink parasol?

One and the same.

You know, I can't recall… is there a reason it's in a box now and not using the parasol?

Probably too many temptations around in the Big City.

You FOOL you've doomed us all!

(Someone had to say it )

Parzival, that comic is really<./i> disturbing, especially panel 9.

Duh. It's a grue. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

:-)

Nah, it's clearly a young-ish hybrid offspring of a Terrasque and a Giant Space Hamster. The real question is what *type* of Giant Space Hamster…

My favorite Giant Space Hamster was always the Miniature Giant Space Hamster.

It's a weasel on meth . . .

Boooooo….
