Big talk from the Pharaoh with the means to turn humans into crocodile food.
-
Nah, I was thinking more of the hilarious fact that when it comes to 'racial purity', white supremacists got things exactly the wrong way around.

Twitch. It is H. sapiens neanderthalensis and not all modern humans possess Neanderthaler genes. Practically all the descendants of those who migrated out of Africa do because they crossed paths with the still-extant Neanderthalers but descendants of those who remained in Africa mostly did not. This is changing in modern times because of even more interbreeding but nonetheless.

Hrm. Good point. I suppose that might make Diane h. sapiens supernaturalis or something like it.
-
Not a bad bet given that he was genetically engineered to take down Damien. But really, I am not sure that whatever EGS is confronting is necessarily an entity, alive or dead, physical or non. The villains of EGS have always tended to be tangential to the real impetus of the story, which is character development and interaction as well as life in general. I am not sure I can really phrase this in a way that makes sense, but the closest parallel I can think of is Season Six of Buffy about which Joss Whedon was supposed to say, "In this season, life is the Big Bad."

Beats me. I just wanted to point it out. Still, no harm done, I hope. *scratches head*
-
That was me, not Wyrd42. Pffft. Colonel Sanders barely registers as a speed bump. No, the final boss is whatever Lord Tedd is getting ready to fight.
-
Maybe miniboss then? The detail level is very fine and the design rather intimidating.
-
*sigh* 1787 reputation. I guess I need to get started on that Constitutional Convention. Pharaoh, you get to be John Hancock. But no bollocking cartouches around your signature, get it? It's big enough already.
-
Yeah, and remember that Ellen wanted to kill herself while fighting it? I said these things are depressing to fight! I warned you! But did anyone listen? Nooooo.
-
We do, we are just improvising our careful planning.
-
In other words, this entire thread is a post script.
-
Every little thing she does is magic!

Yeah, that must have been it. I've seen variations of that but I think that one is the most extreme. There's also elemental bosses who take double damage from their opposition element as a related example.
-
There was, I think, a Final Fantasy boss that was undead and powerful and took an insane amount of time to kill -- unless you used a raise dead item on it, which killed it on the spot. Kinda anticlimactic.
-
At least he isn't a giant scoopful of pudding. These get to be depressing to fight after a while.
-
Me too. Mostly because of a lot of other humans.
-
He jumped the whale?
-
Well, he obviously needed Ellen to fire the beam that allowed Magus to take over Elliot's body and since Sirleck was in the story anyway him possessing her was by far the simplest way to achieve that. But you nonetheless raise good points.
-
He liked it better than Ellen having no role whatsoever in this story save that of possession victim. I can kind of relate to that.
-
In theory her unknown mother's last name could enter the picture, too. But if we are to go with strict biological naming, her actual family name is homo sapiens sapiens.
-
To be more serious, nothing keeps us from asking Dan, which is what this thread is about. Finding questions to ask. I mean, it can't hurt.
