Line 3:
** He's probably the Acheronian necromancer from the film's prologue. And if that's the case, they may have been planning to include him in a sequel at some point.
* I haven't read any Conan stories but how come Conan is always pictured as wearing barely any clothing or armor? Is he that sure of himself that he is never going to get cut or wounded?
** [[Covers Always Lie]]. Conan ''does'' in fact wear armor whenever he has the opportunity in Howard's actual stories, and one of his canon talents is the ability to remain stealthy and silent while wearing heavy armor. Though admittedly, there's quite a few stories where he ends up captured or something and stripped to his skivvies and is forced to fight near naked, but that's not the norm.
** Basically Conan gets shown mostly-naked for the same reason his girl-of-the-episode usually gets shown mostly-naked: to catch your attention and/or titillate.
* In ''The Hall Of The Dead'' there is a giant slug that spews acid and can't be killed with a sword.Conan eventually kills it by dropping gargoyles on it.My questions are
1:How can a slug grow that big?
2:How can the slug's skin be able to resist slashes from a sword?
Line 14 ⟶ 15:
** You're not terribly familiar with the concept of "fantasy", are you? [[Conan the Barbarian]] is [[Swords and Sorcery]]. Nobody's expecting the giant slug to be scientifically, biologically viable.
* What is the most vicious,terrifying creature Conan has ever fought?
** All of them. Or, if you want a more clever-sounding and pseudo-philosophical answer, "Man."
