I need to stop confusing bugbears and owlbears.

Also how come owlbears are related to birds, but bugbears aren't insectoid? :P

Sod if I know. I gave up long ago trying to mix D&D with any kind of logic or consistency.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

I know you're just being tongue-in-cheek, but it's because bugbears are much older than owlbears.  The latter were made up for D&D, apparently based off a cheap Chinese toy.  The former, due to Gygax's unabashed willingness to crib from every source he had a fondness for, date back to the mythology of the early British Isles and Germany, where the "bug" comes from a similar root word as bogill (Scottish goblin), bwg (Welsh goblin), bögge (German, likewise), or...well, actually, the English "bug" that today serves as a term for any creepy-crawly; one suspects that whomever applied it to various land-dwelling arthropods back in the 17th century was not particularly fond of the many-legged critters.  A bugbear is sort of a specific bugaboo, I suppose. :P

They could also be arctic goblins, though the skin color's probably not right for that.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

You could just go to the comic link on the Op and check yourself. After checking it on my own however, it seems like it hasn't.

Lets use the ancient naval art of training war parrots. No one will realize they have been boarded by space war parrots until it is to late!

You can fake being able to run on water. You can't fake looking cool when you break your foot on a door and hit your head on the floor.

Which monster has "trenchant political analysis" as an attack? Is it Redcloak?

I thought that the implication was that the demonroach was talking about the MitD.
