Underground Monkey: Difference between revisions

** This was parodied in the webcomic ''[[Order of the Stick]]'': in one comic, a paladin discovers the titular party has killed a dragon. She then accuses them of possibly killing a creature of benevolence and wisdom, and asks why they thought it deserved death, to which Roy Greenhilt replies, "Erm... its scales weren't shiny?" which placates the paladin. Elan then breaks the [[Fourth Wall]] by winking at the reader and saying, "Dragons - now [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]]!"

*** Ironically, the comic does this itself with goblins/hobgoblins/ghouls.

** The Elves of D&D come in high, wood, sea, grey, wild and several other varieties.

** The third edition of ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' features ''templates'', giving uncreative GMs the opportunity to color-code ''any'' monster into a water monster, a fire monster, slime monster, etc.
