Gugs

[Orrex]

Unclean giants.

1. Yes, but they keep the ghast population in check.

[Orrex]

4. It's the Circle of Life

Take that, Simba!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. It's the circle on undeath, technically.

Or the cycle of dreams, if you want to get referential.

[Orrex]

7. I can barely read most of his dream-cycle stuff

Too plodding for my tastes, but I'm fairly familiar with the arc of the story.

Good call on the undeath.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. Well that's where the gugs come from.

:shrug:

[Orrex]

10. Oh, I've read it

Not recently, but still. I doubt I could re-read the whole thing, but I occasionally page through it to check on a thing or two.

2. Did you already know that word

or did you just search for a bunch of stuff ending in 'ug' till you found one?

:P

[Orrex]

3. Any fan of Lovecraft would know that word

Who could forget the abhorrent rites that condemned the gugs to their underground imprisonment?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. Uh, everybody?

[Orrex]

9. Well, now that you mention it...

I guess that was kind of the point of banishing them.

Oops.
