A demonic parasite of another demon? Sounds pretty rad to me, and I can't say it doens't look the part. Though I wonder why they want to find Kore now.

Maybe Maglubiyet is actually True Neutral himself, and his "evil" reputation is just propaganda.

I agree. Demon parasite Toothy is super creepy but does not appear super dangerous. No aggressive movement or speech, carrying no obvious weapon, easy to avoid or outrun.

Just don't let him step on you...

No alternative timeline here, sorry.
Awesome, thanks for the links...I had completely forgotten about that, and I'd been thinking of it backwards (as if the voice was coming form the future, not the past).

It looks like it would smash easily. :whack:

Let me register my appreciation here for the fact that the parasite demon's approach is a rhythm:

UNK chitter chitter chitter
UNK chitter chitter chitter
UNK chitter chitter chitter

So creepy... and at the same time, strangely satisfying.

TEETH.

NOPE.
I thought this demonic manifestation was a sick and twisted parody of the Birth of Buddha.

Anyone else starting to think that Kore is covered in teeth under that armor? http://www.goblinscomic.org/01182011-2/

We've been wondering what those white markings under his helmet were for a while now.

We already know what's under his helmet at least ;) http://www.goblinscomic.org/10242014/

Holy crap, I can't believe I completely forgot about that scene. Has it really been two years?

Not sure if this has been said yet, as I know the Kore theory thread is huge and I haven't read it all, but what if Kore is an amalgamation of all of the paladins who created the axe? It would explain his size, the multiple faces under his mask, and could have been the result of the cursemail it would also explain why only one "core" paladin survived.

I know the parasite demon is important for plot exposition and all but don't any of our goblins or even Minmax realize how important it is to SMASH THAT THING BEFORE IT FULLY REFORMS!!!

Oh jeez.
Just introduce yourself and ask "them" to do the same.
This and Minmax's knowledge should be sufficient to rule the realm.

Would most demons fall for that or would it be common knowledge among them not to hand out names? I suspect the latter given that the demon god warned Complains-of-Names about it.

I would make for some fun if a Demon would fall for this, but seeing how Not-Walther was careful not to disclose his name....

Also, when transcriping, I noticed, the flea demon mentioned the demons cursed Kore.
This reminded me of the last Tempts Fate, where TF gets cursed to live forever, so that the Demon can regrow in the meantime and once he's back torture TF. This sounds very much alike....
They want to take revenge and to make sure Kore survives, they cursed him.
