T-Rex who ate the Bonerdagon
- Though technically carnivores, T-Rexes were really only in it for the bones.
- They enjoy eating the marrow, but again, it's sort of secondary to how badly they want to chomp on those crunchy, crunchy bones.
- The T in T-Rex stands for "totally gonna eat all your bones."

Table-Bussing Trainbot
- You know what they say -- you can bus a table on a train, but you can't train a bus to build a table.
- The single perk a busser gets is being able to secretly eat peoples' leftovers, and Trainbots can't do that. It's tragic.
- Bussing does not make Trainbots feel good.

Table-Waiting Trainbot
- This robot's programming is very simple: WHILE (1) WAIT();
- The nice thing about fully automating your wait staff is that people no longer have to worry about tipping.
- Unless the waiter robots are really top-heavy, in which case tipping becomes an all-too-dangerous possibility.

taco-clad Crimbo elf
- Taco Dan's Taco Stand cannot be found on any map; it can only be reached through its fliers.
- But you've got to give Taco Dan credit for taking a chance on the Crimbo elves and hiring them, so they don't have to go back to Hobopolis.
- Taco Dan's first name really is "Taco." So it was either rebel against the name his parents gave him, or embrace it.

tacobuilding elf
- Taco Dan's Crunchtabulous™ shell is rated four and a half out of five on the Taco Institute's Table of Crunchtabulosity.
- Granted, Taco Dan is the only member of the Taco Institute, so it's possible their research is biased.
- Still, give him points for honesty and ambition; he left himself a half star of room for improvement.

tapdancing skeleton

Tasmanian Dervish

Tektite
- Tektites spin webs, but they're generally square instead of circular.
- Tektite silk is 100 times stronger than human hair, but human hair kind of sucks, so that's not saying much.
- Oh, wait. . . those dots on its back aren't its eyes. It just has one big eye in the middle at the bottom. Weird.

ten skeletons
- Yes, the two skeletons in the center-left are totally high-fiving.
- A skeleton may not have the guts to attack you, or the nerve, but certainly has the backbone.
- I'm not sure skeletons are all that terrifying. I mean, would you be more creeped out by a magically animated skeleton, or a magically animated what's left after the skeleton gets taken out?

Terrence Poindexter
- Terrence Poindexter loves two things. Logic and reason.
- You might think this would make for a boring life, but you'd be wrong. Terrence was born without the part of your brain that allows you to get bored. He's like the Alex Honnold of tedium.
- He's not without his indulgences, though. Sometimes, during the holidays, he'll treat himself to a slice of toasted white bread with his breakfast.

Terrence Poindexter (true form)
- In this form, Poindexter can unhinge his jaw to say boring stuff even louder.
- The thing that frustrates Poindexter the most about this form is having nowhere to hang onto his receipts.
- If Poindexter eats something large while he's in this form, it is critical that he finish digesting it before reverting to his normal human size.

- It probably sucks to be a mutant, unless you really like surprises.
- If you had a mutated ant of uncertain breed, would it be a mutt mutant ant? And if its crotch got poisoned, would that be a tainted mutt mutant ant taint?

terrifying robot
- Robots are frequently used in block-based construction projects because human builders tend to get distracted by exploring nearby caverns and fighting zombies.
- Don't let this little robot's cuteness throw you into a false sense of security; it is in fact a brutal killing -- oh look, it's trying to solve a Rubik's Cube! Oh that's adorable.
- This robot is actually a rather old model -- more modern versions are sleeker, more mobile, and astoundingly, even cuter.

- Fortunately for the arachnophobes out there, this is the Loathing game that doesn't have animations.
- Most spiders are a little scary just because they're so different and alien-looking. These ones are scary because they look like that (gestures at picture).
- Oh and also they are psychotic and want to murder you as messily as possible. That's also a scary thing about them.

- Prospectors have long scraggly beards because that is how they keep their beef jerky safe and warm.

tetchy pirate

the abstract concept of poverty
- If this encounter seems kind of grim, you should've seen it when it was "poverty-stricken children". And then I was like "Oh wait, this is a comedy game huh"
- Poverty isn't very funny. And that's pretty much why this fight isn't either I guess.
- St. Nicholas helping the poor is kind of an important part of the Santa Claus mythology though, so like, what're ya gonna do?

The Author
- The Author actually mainly deals in novels. Comics are more of a side-project she does for fun.
- The jacket photo on her most recent novel is shoulders-up, so you can't see the straitjacket.
- Where does she get her ideas for her novels? Mostly by writing "And then The Author had an amazing idea for a novel!"

The Avatar of Boris
- Boris could crack walnut shells between his mighty buttocks. You might think you'd like to see that, but trust me, you're wrong.
- Boris and Jarlsberg's friendly rivalry began to sour as Jarlsberg tested his magical abilities on Boris. The day he turned Boris's Helm into a dormouse for a half an hour was a particularly dark one for the friendship.
- Boris consistently scored slightly higher on intelligence tests than Jarlsberg did. Which only served to fuel the mage's jealous rage.

The Avatar of Jarlsberg
- Jarlsberg only weighed about 110 pounds, and most of that was hat.
- Jarlsberg wasn't always such a germophobe. When he was three years old, a filthy kid like all kids, he went to the zoo and an elephant sneezed on him, coating him in mucus. He got a horrible cold and was never the same.
- Jarlsberg didn't have a lot of friends, but not because he was a nerd. He didn't have a lot of friends because he was also kind of a jerk.

- Sneaky Pete's shades were mirrored for maximum checkin' out the ladies action.
- Sneaky Pete was both a man's man and a ladies man. Women wanted him and men wanted to be him. And occasionally vice versa. It takes all kinds.

The Bat in the Spats
- The Bat in the Spats has an army of tailors,
At whom he swears like a number of sailors.
- The spats on the Bat are constructed of flesh,
That was flayed from the damned, it was harvested fresh.
- The Bat's got renown for his rantings vainglorious,
His self-centered raving has made him notorious.

The Big Ignatowicz
- What's red and orange and looks good on a hippy? Anything. Their fashion style is so versatile that they can wear pretty much whatever and it looks fine.
- How can you tell if a hippy has been rooting around in your fireplace? They haven't. No hippy would ever disrespect your privacy like that.
- Why did the hippy cross the campfire? Probably to share food or drugs with somebody on the other side. They love sharing almost as much as they love camping.

- What with the beard and all, you probably thought he was a giant, but he's not that big. I mean, he's not small, he's like 6'1", but you've definitely seen bigger.
- Disregarding the height thing, it's still not really accurate to call him The Big Wisniewski, as that label actually refers to someone else. But, y'know, whatever. Let's just go bowling.

- He was educated at one of the finest military boarding schools in the Kingdom, where he was sent because his parents were too busy to love him.

The Clownlord Beelzebozo
- Beelzebozo is frequently stopped on the street by people who have mistaken him for Tim Curry, which annoys him to no end.
- Opinions differ on what clowns actually are -- some say they're simply a different breed of demon, while others think they're projections into our universe of creatures from an altogether different and more horrible reality.
- Whatever clowns actually are, though, everyone agrees on this fact: they aren't funny.

The ghost of Ebenoozer Screege
- Well, look, you can't expect a ghost to keep up to date on the financial industry. When he was alive, Wall Street was just an open sewer canal.
- Besides his miserliness, Ebenoozer Screege was also famous for writing the famous poem: "Beans beans, the magical fruit / the more you have, the greater your power and ability to control the lives of others."
- Ebenoozer Screege died at the unveiling of his gold-plated silo, which he had constructed so he could swim around in his precious beans. Unfortunately, he made the mistake of ordering the silo to be filled while he was standing inside it.

The ghost of Jim Unfortunato
- Unfortunato has been imprisoned for a very long time, so he's had a very long time to think up new insults. He's also had a very long time to become totally out of touch with the current vernacular.
- To be honest, Unfortunato is less angry about being walled up in the cellar than the fact that his cell didn't actually contain the cask of brandy he was promised.
- Although nobody knows exactly why Lord Spookyraven walled Unfortunato up in his cellar, it was probably because he has a big mouth.

The ghost of Lord Montague Spookyraven
- Lord Maurice Spookyraven murdered his father in order to take over the family fortune early. Lord Montague Spookyraven naturally took a strong exception to this.
- After being mercilessly haunted by his father for several years, Lord Spookyraven moved to Seaside Town to escape. It didn't work, because he used his father's old suitcase, and the ghost took up residence in it for the duration of the journey.
- Did Lord Spookyraven the Elder's ghost contribute in some way to the fall of the Spookyraven household? ...Sure, maybe?

the ghost of Monsieur Baguelle
- Monsieur Baguelle was not the actual inventor of the bagel, but it was named after him. By someone who didn't know how to spell his name.
- He was revered as a master among master bakers -- so well-respected that nobody ever made the obvious joke.
- Many think his death at the hands of an industrial doughnut-hole punching machine was a deliberate protest against the mechanization of his art. Unfortunately, the truth will never be known for certain.

the ghost of Oily McBindle
- "Oily" Sam McBindle was the inventor of the bindle traditionally carried by hoboes, though few remember him for this now.
- Oily McBindle got his nickname by sleeping in trainyards, such as the one that eventually became the Overgrown Lot as Seaside Town's railroad fell into disuse.
- Rumor has it that Oily McBindle died from being crushed and subsequently drowned when a precarious stack of oil drums tipped over on his sleeping form.

the ghost of Phil Bunion
- Phil Bunion's feet were not the direct cause of his death, but it probably felt that way to him much of the time.
- Shoes that are too tight are bad for your feet. Seriously, be good to your feet. Wear comfortable shoes.
- It takes a lot of practice and concentration for a ghost to be able to attack a living person directly, especially if they don't have the good fortune to be trained by Vincent Schiavelli.

- In fact, Agent Cockingham choked to death on his own bile when he misheard a Smut Orc talking about a sick duck.
- Now that he's a ghost and can walk through bedroom and bathroom walls, Agent Cockingham finds obscenity everywhere he goes.

The ghost of Sam McGee
- He came from desert sands in the Distant Lands, to this place of ice and snow. And no one was told why he braved the cold, at least no one I know.
- The climb, it was rough, but old Sam was tough, and he knew he'd succeed if he tried. He climbed up that peak though it took him a week, and there at the top's where he died.
- So when you've got a task that's a difficult ask, just keep working and things'll get better. But if it gets cold, don't be overbold -- remember to put on a sweater.

- Trashblossom Gorton was one of the protestors who attempted to stop the Old Landfill before it was even the New Landfill. It wasn't a very successful protest.
- Her plan was to chain herself to the gates, so that the dumptrucks couldn't enter. However, since there wasn't actually a wall around the site, this wasn't very effective.
- Trashblossom eventually died buried under several tons of trash and scrap. Which is sad, but at least she's managed to accept the landfill as part of her personal philosophy or whatever,[sic]

The ghost of Waldo the Carpathian
- Waldo the Carpathian was a military commander who, informed that his sins had damned him to hell, decided to march there himself and deal with the devil on his own terms. Is it metal? Oh yeah.
- Neither Waldo nor any of his troops returned from their campaign. For a while, everyone wondered where he had gone, and searched for him, but he was nowhere to be found.
- Nobody knows what artist painted his portrait, in such magnificent detail that it was able to serve as a literal window to hell itself. But it's not surprising that the Spookyravens were a fan.

the gunk
- The gunk is equal parts artificial sweetener and pure malice.
- The gunk is low-calorie and all-natural, which means nothing.
- The gunk is even technically organic, and certified gluten-free. But it will still kill the crap out of you.

The Headless Horseman
- Some people think the Headless Horseman is the actual origin of legends about centaurs. Other people think those people are weird.
- The Headless Horseman is undoubtedly a soldier from some past war, though nobody knows which army she fought for. Except, presumably, the losing one.
- Some people say the Headless Horseman deliberately cut her horse's head off so it wouldn't impede his sword-swings. Other people say it was an accident. Nobody knows for sure.

The Icewoman
- This lady used to deliver ice, back in the days when an 'icebox' was a thing you kept a literal block of ice in, to keep your food cold. If that sounds like a real pain in the butt, well, it's better than eating salt-cured beef jerky for every meal.
- It seems that Lord Spookyraven -- in his later, more murderous years -- decided that killing this ice deliverywoman and trapping her spirit in the icebox would be a more practical way to keep the food cold. Evil, yeah, but it worked.
- It's a good thing for me the Spookyravens weren't more modern -- otherwise I'd have to figure out how to write a ghost made of freon.

- "The Jokester" is his real name -- he had it changed legally. It's on his driver's license.
- The Jokester is only considered Batfellow's most dangerous villain because Batfellow has no sense of humor and risks an aneurism every time they fight.

- The Landscaper's leafblower is, of course, a Dust Devil. I mean come on, like he's gonna use a Black & Decker? That wouldn't be funny at all.
- The second most annoying noise you've ever heard was when your neighbor's parrot started mimicking the radio's Emergency Broadcast Network test signal.

Without it, he'll twitch and he'll shiver and stutter!

Is a foul-smelling substance that's blacker than pitch.
- Treat this advice like it was booze! Take a boss sip!
Ignore the snitch and then he can't spread his gossip.

The Mad Libber
- Most feminists, when they say "Smash the patriarchy!" don't mean it quite so literally.
- Not that "Smash the patriarchy" is what she says any more. Not exactly. But that's probably what she means.
- She's distantly related to William S. Burroughs, so her odd malady might actually be genetic.

- The Man doesn't personally keep anyone down. He has a legion of hired goons and unpaid sycophants to do the down-holding for him.

- The Mariachi with No Name is the fastest draw in Bordertown. Fortunately, he's also the worst shot.
- The Mariachi with No Name was born Quincy Leslie Droolypants the Third. So ditching the name was a wise choice.
- The Mariachi with No Name grows stubble so fast that his 5 o'clock shadow shows up at noon.

the realization that everyone you love will die someday
- It's a good thing that people die, because otherwise your rent would be absurd.
- In a sense, nobody ever truly dies until everyone alive has forgotten about them. So uh... yeah, everyone still dies. But it takes longer!
- The flipside of everyone dying someday is the fact that everyone will be born someday, which means we're going to run out of possible people. That seems even more worrying!

- Besides being really hot, the mouth of hell is also uncomfortably humid, and smells terrible. Because of hellitosis, ha! ha! ha!

- The Snake with Like Ten Heads has a vast repository of dirty jokes at its disposal. Most are even more filthy than the one about the Plowman's Daughter.

His body is green, but some parts are all blue.

- Whenever the horse stopped (which it did very often), he fell off in front; and, whenever it went on again (which it generally did rather suddenly), he fell off behind.
- And they understood, of course the time-honored allegory of the Trick Top Hat, which was just a symbol for the brain.
- "Freedom Hall here, folks!" he screams in his phoney Texas accent. Ten-gallon hat and cowboy boots still on, he dances the Liquefactionist Jig, ending with a grotesque can-can to the tune of She Started a Heat Wave.

- If a tiny-screwing animelf meets her quota for three consecutive Crimbos, she gets a tiny power drill to help out. But knowing Uncle Crimbo, she'll only be employed for this one Crimbo.

tipsy pirate
- The tipsy pirate has to drink at least two drinks an hour to hold onto his buzz.
- The tipsy pirate has never been seen using the men's room, as he hasn't 'broken the seal' yet.
- The tipsy pirate prefers to drink grog, but in a pinch he'll drink just about anything with booze in it, all the way down to vanilla extract and mouthwash.

toilet papergeist
- The toilet papergeist is one-ply, as Lord Spookyraven was a cheapskate. C'mon, guys. Two ply at the minimum.
- Wait a minute . . . if a "ply" is a layer, then it's called "plywood" because it's made of layers of wood. Woah.
- But I'm not sure where pliers fit into that, or how you ply someone for information. Words, man.

- Does it make it better or worse, from the tree's perspective, that the toilet paper's only 1-ply?
- I mean, seriously, who buys 1-ply toilet paper? That's just not enough plys, y'all.
- Woah. if "ply" means "layer," then they call it plywood because it's made of different layers of wood glued together. Dude. I have to lie down for a minute.

tomb asp
- Tomb asps generally hide either in urns or in asp holes.
- In ancient times, asps were killed, stuffed, and used to adorn the crowns of kings. Thus the leader was referred to as the "asp hat."
- Tomb asps live on the mummified flesh of the tomb's deceased occupant. So really they're less like snakes and more like limbless scaly ghouls.

- Ancient people believed bats to be holy spirits, because they sleep hanging upside-down, just like angels do.

tomb rat
- Ancient tomb-owning nobles did little about the rat problem, because having lived with the damn things for their entire lives, they couldn't really imagine an afterlife without them.
- Prevalence of rats in your grain storage was actually seen as a good omen, because it meant that your grain was not yet 100% rat droppings.
- Since cats were revered as gods, a little bit of that holiness rubbed off on the rats. After all, if God leaves half a dead rat in your shoe, you can't just throw it away.

- Tomb servants weren't paid a salary, but they did have excellent health care benefits, including crocodile dung and honey for birth control.

tonic water elemental
- Tonic water glows under ultraviolet light, due to the presence of quinine, which is made from scorpions.
- Tonic water elementals were originally devised as an experimental defense against malaria. Like most magical experiments of this nature, things got a little out of hand.
- Attempts to breed tonic water elementals with djinn have been largely unsucessful, because nobody can think of a good punchline. If you have one, please send it to our home office in Sioux City, Iowa.

toothless mastiff bitch
- The Loathing Toothless Mastiff is an unusual breed of dog, which was bred with the rather suspect logic that, if a dog's bark is worse than its bite, then if it's really bad at biting, it will bark even less. They aren't very good guard dogs.
- Of course, the whole "bite/bark" thing doesn't take into account the animal's ability to howl pretty much all the time. They aren't very good pets, either.
- What they are good at, though, is being delicious. Ha ha, no, just kidding. They taste terrible.

toothy pirate
- It's estimated that, if all the toothy pirates on the sea had their gold teeth melted down, there'd be enough gold to make two and a half solid-gold ferraris!
- Due to gold's high conductivity, gold teeth make the best site for secret government-implanted surveillance radios.
- Gold teeth were invented by Dr. Silas Crunroe, a dentist who noticed the way people kept biting gold coins, and decided to cut out the middleman.

- Ordinary kiwis do that second part too, but we're not generally freaked out by it because their prey are gross bugs and crayfish and stuff.

- The Creature's huge ears make it an excellent listener. So, y'know, if you want to just talk about this stuff, man, it's there for you. Just call.
- Oddly enough, the Creature is a pretty lousy swimmer. That's probably because the Gray Lagoon is only three feet deep.

- Federal regulators eventually outlawed physical railroad track switches after they got fed up with people talking about the trolley problem all the time.
