Tonberry 

The Tonberry race is a proud one. Aproxomatly knee-high, maybe a little higher, the average Tonberry is a scavenger, roaming the desert landscape he inhabits to discover food, to slaughter it with his chef's knife, and to return to his tribe to share the catch. These little creatures are also equipped with lanterns to see their way home at night, as their large yellow eyes require a lot of light to see anything at all. They are green, slightly leathery and soft to the touch, with little beaklike mouths and no opposable thumbs of note.

The Tonberry society is hierarchical, there seems to be some sort of a King position in some circles, though how the King is chosen is unknown. The King is responsible for protecting the others, so it is likley that he does less hunting and more training. All of the tonberries wear simple burlap-like robes and shoes, but the King also wears a gold crown that hovers a few inches over his head.

Tonberries are quite intelegent and capable of speech. However, the speech is not so much oral as telepathic, as their mouths are not refined enough to produce speech.

It is very difficult to kill a Tonberry, but to prove one's strength to the Tonberry order, one must often kill many to lure out the King, in order to defeat him. A Tonberrry is a valuable ally.
The Tonberry King stepped ahead of the band of Tonberries to present the adventurers with a treasured gift - his lantern, by which the adventurors could summon him in battle.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
