As if pranking a bugbear wasn’t likely to be scaring enough….
What an adorable nightmare.
This is fear given form
I want a dozen
How do the pokemon-loving Finn brothers feel about Pokemon Go? (assuming that the story was set in 2016 etc)
The story is set in 2004/2005, so they are just getting/got FireRed and LeafGreen.
Doesn’t Alec look cute Nixie Spitified?
Look at what you’ve done. Look at what your careless words have wrought.
And the Nixie was told “please don’t do that again”.
And they didn’t… despite the bugbear’s pleas that they to it again.
Well we did ask for this.
Apparantly so did H. P. Lovecraft…
I wonder what Cthulhu would look like, Nixie Spitified…
I mean, he’s already an aquatic creature, so… nothing?
It might get some dolphin bits.
My only thought upon seeing this was “why” and you have answered that.
I accept no responsibility.
Welp, time to exterminate all nixies to make sure this never ever happens ever.
Well that’s harsh. How about a ban on Nixie spit so that this won’t happen again.
He looks proud to be an abomination, and that is a bugbear type of feeling when you look scary. He seems to be saying, “look what I did! Is it not amazing!”
WHAT HAVE WE DONE.
LOOK AWAY CHILDREN!
So CUTE! I’m in love.
Word of the day: “spitified”.
Bartender, I’d like a tall brain bleach, neat. I’ve just seen something I don’t want to remember. By the way, does the local sawbones do eye amputations? I want to make sure I never see it again.
I’ll have what he’s having. Also, if I give you 100 bucks will you beat me in the head with a hammer?
The hammer won’t work you need the Titanic dropped on your head.
What if I hit myself until I think I had the Titanic dropped on my head?
Still won’t work.
I have a better idea hit yourself with the Bismarck, the most feared and heaviest battleship of the 20th century (and yes i think it was really heavier then the enterprise of the 70s)
Maybe?!
or on the bugbear’s head
Removal of the eye (particularly the orbit) is called enucleation.
Spiny tentacles don’t seem terribly practical, but they’re cool anyway.
I dunno, vampyroteuthis has ’em.
More painful and scarier than mere suction cups. Like being caught in barbed wire :-o
How would you know?
Squid have hooks and claws on their suckers :D
They’re one reason sperm whales have so many scars.
Keep in mind that this is a bugbear. Them freaking out others is a responsibility, not a liability.
BUT SUCH A HAPPY NIGHTMARE.
Alex Hyde has a huge portrait of this on the wall of his living room. He should sell prints or maybe use it for an album cover. :-p
I just guffawed super loudly thanks.
Sorry Bugbears — no matter what form you’re in I only find you adorable. LOOKIT THAT HAPPY FACE JUST LOOK AT IT.
MORE NIXIE SPITIFIED CHARACTERS! BRING ON THE FISH BUTTS!
Vishisly adorable
Shark teeth! Omnomnom!
And there’s more than one row of teeth.
Look at the shadows in the toothy maw.
HOLY CRAP. @_@………….
NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE HIDING UNDER THE COUCH NOPE NOPE PLZ SEND VODKA NOPE NOPE
You really think a couch will save you? This is when you hide under a pile of coats.
Even THAT won’t hide you from a Bugbear
What will hide is hiding in a bugbears skin. That’s if a bugbear was mistaken for a regular bear and shot by a hunter. I am being hypocritical here guys so sorry if this is upsetting.
How does nixie spit interact with medallion use? Jim seemed to go fullform when he hit the water even though Merial kissed him in not-fullform. Does that always happen?
Easy answer ” ta da magic”
Wow. I’m impressed that a nixie would pull this. And you thought dumping honey on a bugbear would get you in trouble.
Considering the happy smile, I’d say the Bugbear actively wanted to be Nixie Spitified
I don’t think this guy is physically capable of closing his mouth. Look at all of those teeth!
The nixie needn’t have been directly involved. All that was needed was a prankster with a little bottle.
Back in the short piece “Nixie Spit”, Jimothy told Merial, “It’s sold as ‘Nixie Essence’ in the Liverpool Avalon. We used to cause all sorts of mischief, slippin’ it into drinks or what have you. Hit ’em with water and they go down all finny. Hilarious.”
Did the prankster declare Code Brown?
Indeed.
But the cheerful expression of the bugbear over what has happened, makes me think the bugbear wanted this, and it wasn’t the result of a prank.
If he didn’t actively want it beforehand, he definitely embraced it after the fact. Of course, the grin may have come after he put on a show of fury that scared everyone away.
Jimothy went (full size) fullform under the influence of nixie spit. A Q&A five years ago (!) showed a fullform bugbear standing eight or nine feet tall at the shoulders/withers when on all fours. In that couchant position (heraldic term), it would still be five or six feet, with the top of his head eight or nine feet off the floor. An impressive transformation.

Or he was less upset when he realized what was going on, and was ready to have some fun with the pranker
Oh my lord, I know it’s supposed to be scary but I want to squeeze it in a hug! XD
Are you an unchanged bugbear or something.
Reading through the archive of questions and I just have to say I love it <3
