Order of the Stick Trivia XIX: It's Always the Demon Roaches
This is the 19th section of the Order of the Stick Trivia thread
If there are any newcomers, here are the rules:

- If that player doesn't have a question immediately in mind, then state "Open Question" ("OQ") and let someone else ask.
- Questions have to have an answer that is demonstrated by at least one, and no more than three, canon online strip. (No bonus material either online or in the books)
- No counting questions with more than 3 parts. For example: how many times has Roy said "the".
- If the answer given is not the answer expected, but still technically answers the question, allow it. You can rephrase and ask your question again later.
- There's a difference between rephrasing—finding a different, more precise way to word the question so it has a smaller number of possible answers—and just simply rewriting to rule out the last answer. Over and over again. Don't do the latter.
- If an answer is given that in no way is correct, then players can call attention to the fact. At that point, there may be 2 questions occurring at the same time. The 1st question that was incorrectly answered is the valid question. The second question may be answered, but for no prize (aka asking the next question).
- If your response is ninja'd, that is if someone beats you with the correct answer, please edit your post stating, "ninja'd, please answer above question".
- After 24 hours without an answer, please provide a hint. After an additional 24 hours pass, please provide the answer and take pride that you have stumped us all.
- Recognize that this is a game. It is supposed to be quick and fun. If a question seems to go beyond the rules, assume that the author is not familiar with the rules, and point them out. If the author affirms that the question is allowable within the rules, then continue with the game. If the question turns out to be not allowable, it becomes an open question. Groan and move on.
- Questions along the lines of "when was the first time X happened/was mentioned" are not allowed because to prove that they never happened before, one would have to link to every strip before it, which is unreasonable and would break the no-more-than-three-strips rule.

No. Half of the threads ran to 51 pages, and one ran to 56 pages. This thread can be pretty fast, we fill a page of 30 posts before you can blink. You were right to start a new one.

This one's a toughie, it got me occupied for a long time. The only non-humanoids with hair that I can recall are the lizardfolk, horses, dogs, cats. We see lizardfolk in #676 (prostitutes), #413 (throwaway joke for pre-painted miniatures in randomized boosters), #777 (Ganji and another gladiator), but they all have green skin. Lizardfolk probably aren't supposed to have hair because they're reptiles, not mammals, but everyone was too preoccupied with the boobs so that didn't get much attention. Kobolds are yellow and have no hair, although the Oracle is wearing a shower cap to protect his nonexistent hair and a shower brush to wash his scaled body, and he even calls the humans “disgustingly-hairy mouth-breathing ape-people”. Dragons are of various color and usually have no hair, although one of Tiamat's head has a suspicious attachment. #55 has a blue monster with red eyes and red hair among the monsters imprisoned by Dorukan's amulet. It must be horses then. In #173, Haley is riding a horse with black skin and black hair, but Durkon is riding a yellow-skinned horse with brown hair, so that's only half of the pair. In #141, we see that Vaarsuvius's horse has brown skin and gray hair. And in the tenth panel, it's walking right behind Haley's horse with the black skin and black hair, so that is my answer. Is that what you were thinking, qbits, or did you have some other monsters in your mind?
OQ.

I generally don't just search for phrases of the question in the transcript anymore unless I already know what strip I'm looking for, because it feels cheap, and it only answers easy trivia questions anyway. But looking at the index of strips about the MitD is another matter altogether, because I compiled that index. The descriptions in the first half of the index suck, I should rewrite them at some point to include all the important details. For example, they don't mention popcorn at all. Anyway, in #82, the MitD is eating “Nifty Pop” popcorn while watching the scrying ball. He's eating popcorn again in #369 when watching the fight between Redcloak and Miko, but the brand isn't identified. OQ.

Durkon tries to help her mom doing the washing up, and she ends up dropping them and breaking. Since Durkon's mom is in it, it must be in one of the flashbacks that Durkon shows to Greg, but I think it's one of the earlier ones presented in the comic. I think it's right before the giant frog scene. Yup, here it is all right in #963, first panel. The second stack of plates is still on the table. OQ.

Ah, #207 matches the description better because the horses are standing in place rather than trotting.

OQ if that's right. (Also, if it is right, this might be a good reminder to try to keep questions based in something directly in a strip image or text rather than based in inferences.)

The intended answer was Andi but I suppose that works too.
Anyway, last person gave an OQ, so find me a half-elf with no visible ears.
(The ears are never visible, not just invisible in one frame. You don't have to prove they're never visible by posting every frame they're in, just don't pick a zoomed in picture of Pompey. If you've found the right person, you'll know.)
