No no no... you gotta get washed first, then go in the spinner.

And wouldn't it be a garden war? Slaadi don't come from turf. We come from gardens. See, this is what comes from being so old... you don't know anything cause you're going senile.

Ignore him, he's afraid of cows. Goblins provide excellent nutrients which, when combined with cow stomach acids, make them invulnerable. As such, cows are constantly attacking the sad creatures.

No, I'm afraid of horses. And dogs. But not cows. Cows are fat and tasty.

How could Dan Qu, er, Potatoe Slaade be the father of a slaad? It'd have to be some very odd coupling, since we reproduce by laying our eggs in people.

Oh wait, maybe the gith got an egg in it, then died and Potato Slaad hatched from his body, then was resurrected.

No, no; this is the Maelstrom. How could we stand going to Hell? Way too orderly. Plus it would take like a massive plane shift on the entire thread, which is basically impossible even for a deity since Hell would reject it.
