    What's the name of the monster that says "Yerwhatyerwhatyerwhat"?'


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 534 ✭✭✭bozzie


    wrong it wasnt Queen Ynci (she never existed)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin


    Originally posted by bozzie

    He's only partly wrong..

    Old King Lully had the armoue made, so "technically" it was him who owned the helmet. But then he had it made for Ynci so in the spirit of Discworld, it probably was hers :p

    In Anycase, Yob Soddoth is the monster.
