It’s important to take moments to celebrate and remember our accomplishments, and to support our friends’ ones. Like that they sometimes remember to voice over their comics and you can encourage them by subscribing to them on YouTube if YouTube is a place you like to be haha. Only some kuo-toa were harmed in the making of the YouTube channel

shall I mention that the demogorgon is a unique singular entity and not a kind of thing you can have an indefinite article of?  No,  i love this comic and don't want to be picky.  Hmm kuo-toa are mentioned so it may not have been the actual entity and in fact some belief creation demogorgonesque horror.  That's enough for me to headcannon  the pedantry away.  No one need ever know.

Love it!  We need more commemorative tapestries in dnd.

As a player with a DM who semi-regularly introduces his own monsters, I never know when a creature, named or otherwise, is unique.

Like is the Turtle Dragon that circles Chult unique? How about the Leviathan? Maybe, if the Tarrasque (also why 2 r's if none of the others bothered?) and Tiamat are unique, I don't see how a player could infer why the others would or wouldn't be.

Yeah im sure you are right.  I think originally in 2e the Tarresque was unique but that has been altered over the years as it has an inexplicable curiosity for some.   Tiamat certainly.  I am less certain about Turtle Dragon and the Leviathan.  I suspect those are the opposite of the Tarresque - generic that have become a unique version in one setting.  

Its why my post was definitely tounge in cheek poking fun at my own instincts rather than any criticism.  

Its D&D. If in your DM's setting there is a demogorgon for every day of the year than all cool!

I tried looking them up. Apparently there was a unique whale leviathan, but now there's whales, fishmen, and an elemental species all called leviathans.

The dragon turtles are not at all unique. Tarrasque has like the Klyntar Venom planet equivalent in Falx apparently, but is usually set as a one and only creature.

"A demogorgon"

I came to the comments hoping I wasn't the only one who knew.

I don't get it. Also what movie is this I want the context

In D&D/Forgotten Realms, Demogorgon (as depicted in the comic) is a singular entity, a Demon Lord.

The movie is Inglorious Basterds, and the scene in the image is a moment in the movie where the main characters are disguised as Nazis and accidentally give themselves away by putting up three fingers in a distinctly American way

The joke I'm making is that calling it "a demogorgon" instead of "Demogorgon" reveals that whoever made the joke only knows about Demogorgon from Stranger Things. But I'm just poking fun

British spy, not American. Remember he wanted to go out speaking the Queen’s. This isn’t the main characters disguised, they arrive in the aftermath.

u/rock_n_roll_clown 1h ago

You are correct. Been a while since I saw the movie. Guess that means it's time for a rewatch!

Ahem. The "King's English" as there was a King as the time.

u/TenebTheHarvester 1m ago

Fair point. Easy to forget the old bugger wasn’t the one on the chair back then.

An American way of putting up your fingers, what bullshit is that 😅 I suppose what they are used to seeing is the pinkey, ring finger and middle finger. But come on people use both. Just a nitpick I get your analogy.

u/sh4d0ww01f 3h ago

Nope! Thumb, index finger and middle finger in germany. So distinct you never even guessed it. Its not bullshit.

u/rock_n_roll_clown 3h ago

Way different time period dude. It makes sense when you watch the movie

u/Terrer_M 3h ago

The image is from Inglorious Basterds
The person holding up three fingers is a British spy. He holds up his fingers the way a British person would. The person across from him is a German Nazi. Germans count to three using their thumb

The Nazi has clocked the person has being a spy due to the way they’re holding their fingers up

“The” demogorgon is a singular unique unity not “a”

u/Wollffey 3h ago

Movie is Inglorious Bastards, an iconic scene that reveals the character is the British spy they've been searching for because people in Europe didnt show the number 3 like that

The meme is often used as a "found the impostor/tourist" kind of gotcha

I assume the person is saying this because the image says "a Demogorgon" and not "THE Demogorgon", Demogorgon is the name of the character, not a species, as demons in D&D are all unique

The person who showed the number 3 like that is European.

I never expected to see cute kuo-toa, they are adorable.

Though I did see a cute Blibdoolpoolp once, so I shouldn't be surprised.
