Nilbog Jones's page

I'm 100% sure we'll never do anything with nilbogs.

But wacky surprises are fun!

(Just kidding, I could care less if we have nilbogs. I think they're an early interesting step in the maturation of the game from the early days to where we are now. 1st Edition had unusual ideas in terms of what made a good monster, and in some cases a lot of cool material was reverse engineered from something that started out as just a visual effect (ropers for example).. and in some cases it didn't, like the nilbog.)

To save the nilbog, we have to kill it, right?

You got a point there.. VERY CLEVER!

It's time to kill this thread again by mentioning the nilbog.

(Because any mention if nilbogism, as it was described in terms of a disease in the 1st edition of the Fiend Folio, is guaranteed thread pesticide)

Save the nilbog.
Because if you're going to save the flumph, you might as well.

Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I'll fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how flumph's get down the stairs
Flumphs to the left of me, nilbogs to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Who exactly is this "Great Gazoo"?

Lord Master of DumDums?

You know... silly creatures attract...curios requests:P

SAVE THE FLUMPH AND ALMIRAJ!

It's a shame the nilbog doesn't look any sillier than a goblin.

All joking aside, the nilbog is the King of the Monsters of Suck. I almost want people to hate it so that it can be saved.

The problem is the nilbog is only silly in premise and mechanics, not appearance... unlike the Flumph.

Well there's a little nilbog raisin' hell inside of a corner shop
He's been yellin' down there, yellin' half the day
They never ever seem to have the time
He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground
He gets to his feet and he says;
"What About me, it isn't fair
I suck bad too, now I want my share
Can't you see? I wanna live!
But you just take more than you give..."

Well there's an ugly flumph floating behind the counter of a corner shop
It's been floatin' back there, floatin' for it's dream
And dreams walk in and out, they never stop
Well it's not too proud to cry out loud
It hovers to the street and it screams;
"What About me, it isn't fair
I've had enough now I want my share
Can't you see? I wanna live!
But you just take more than you give..." (More than you give)

Take a step back and see the little monsters
There's nothin there but the words that make the big Editors big
So listen, as they whisper;
"What about me? ..."

Now we're standin' on the corner of a world gone home
Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved
And I'm feelin' red-lined out
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got...
"What About me, it isn't fair
I'm fun and quirky now I want my share
Can't you see? I wanna live!
But you just take more - What about me?!
It isn't fair!
I've had enough now I want my share!
Can't you see? I wanna live!
But you just take more,
You just take more,
You just take more than you give...

What about me?
What about me?
What about me?

Not me! I hope it never comes!
