The [del]wolf[/del] worg is okay, but I just re-read the update, and realized why I like Oona.

It’s because she treats MitD with respect, and converses with him. It’s as though she sees him as an actual being, with motivations, desires, and reasons for the things he does.

The way O-Chul did.

Although, it is a limited sort of respect, that recognizes only the possibility of him being on the “beast” side of the master/beast dichotomy.

And it’s really sad that that’s still more than most of Monster-San’s associates.

[1038 - Goblin to Goblin](http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1038.html) is up.

The grim specter of noogie hangs over us all. How true is that!

OK, now I’m sure Rich is just trolling\* us.

I’m reminded of the cat who’s currently boarding with my mom-- She’s so affectionate that she actually refuses to be fed until she’s had her noogie.

Oh, and confirmation that Oona is a bugbear, though I think that was pretty well consensus by now.

I guess at least Oona (and maybe Redcloak) understands Greyview so MitD doing so ain’t no big thing.

Heh, Nilbogs…

I sense that Rich is poking fun at the people trying to figure out who the MiTD is.

“Quick, kids: figure out which monsters have “trenchant political analysis” as a special attack!”

Hah! “Trenchant political analysis” as a Special Attack. I guffawed!

I am also pleased to see The Giant correctly spelled the plural of “shaman” as “shamans.” It used to always bug me how often World of Warcraft (both the game and its players) got that wrong.
