Selph is a deleted Nightmaren boss from the 1996 SEGA Saturn game "NiGHTS ito dreams." Although the character's theme song, "Know Thyself!", remains on the official NiGHTS OST, Selph was never given any serious development and was cut from the game before its release.

Selph's existence was discovered by accident deep within the files of the game, as an "empty slot" in a boss list. The list names all 7 of the existing NiGHTS bosses, but also includes a slot named "#M7:SELPH" immediately before Wizeman's slot. This strange name file contains no data of its own, however, and instead links back to the final boss, Wizeman. No further information is known about this list.

In a November 2007 interview with Takashi Iizuka, one of the lead designers for NiGHTS into dreams, Iizuka stated that "the idea for the character (Selph) existed, but he was never actually created."
As a result of Selph's unknown past, many fans of the NiGHTS series have created their own backstories and theories for the character.
Selph is the elusive 'missing boss' from NiGHTS into dreams.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
