No, it was the same woman or giantess if you prefer. Angrboða gave birth to all three. He did transform into female horse to mate with a different horse one time but we don't talk about that.

Oh but Sleijpnir is so cute!

Depends on your rendition.

This is one of my avatars in Second Life, so I'm fine with that.

[Obbl]

I think it's cute

[Amazee Dayzee]

Probably shouldn't look for me being an authority on what things are cute and what things are nightmare fuel then. I'm that strange person that thinks cacti and grasshoppers are horrifying. <.>

[fenrirblack]

And this is why we don't talk about it.

[Amazee Dayzee]

Yeah I will agree with you there on that.

[NHWestoN]

I think it's cute

The critter makes me think of the old dice game, "Cootie". See, each player gets the plastic body parts of the cootie - body, head, two eyes, two antennae, six legs and you race to be the first to assemble your cootie by throwing dice and … oh … right … never mind. Just a thought. Bye...….

[Amazee Dayzee]

Hey are you saying that Sleipnir is a cootie? I wouldn't really doubt it but it seems weird but when I was thinking of him, I was thinking him with horse legs. Much less horrifying.

[NHWestoN]

Nope. Just made me think of an old dice game from the 1950s. From the same people who brought you Mr. (and Mrs.) Potatohead…..

[Amazee Dayzee]

They must really have liked games where you put together something's face. LOL

[NHWestoN]

....yeah, precursors to "Mousetrap."

[Argent]

Pretty sure I had that game when I was a wee nipper. I think it may have had a different name in Australia.

[Amazee Dayzee]

In Australia, Toltoys held the distribution rights over there and it used the title Creepy Critters.

YES! thank you.

[Dissension]

I definitely had Cooties when I was younger!

[NHWestoN]

I definitely had Cooties when I was younger!

It paired nicely with the board game, "Hoppity Goes to Town" ( based on the Fleischer Studio's full length cartoon, sometimes known as "Mr. Bug Goes to Town.")

[Amazee Dayzee]

Well you know my childhood was very dull because I never heard about either of those games. DX

[NHWestoN]

Somehow, amaz, I cannot imagine your childhood as "dull".

[Amazee Dayzee]

Things that interested me (like ceiling fans, fire alarms and where people parked their cars) probably would make most well-adjusted children at that age think that I was unhinged.

Not really. I was five when a group of us kids were standing around an outside fire alarm, debating whether or not the grubby old thing worked. I got tired of all the inconclusive blather so I decided to find out and pull the level. Since nothing happened after a couple of minutes, we all concluded the alarm was broken and wandered off. (Remember, we were 4, 5, and 6-year olds)

A few minutes later, we learned that it wasn't. Fire trucks are really impressive when you're a pre-schooler....

[Amazee Dayzee]

Did you ever get caught for pulling the fire alarm or did you get away with it?

[ZAR22]

Speaking of animals that were once something else....

How long do foxes live? Will Pete and dragon ALWAYS reincarnate together as siblings for atleast 8 to 9 more respawnings as animals? Or is there a chance they may reincarnate as non related people, and, of the great kitsune is willing to go very messed, have them become lovers in one live time to basically emotionally, psychologically, morally, and physically scar them? I hope not, because that would be a really low blow, and I hope some divine intervention keeps that from happening.

I believe that Kitsune said a full mortal lifetime, no sign of plural. It's been stated that an animal in this universe with proper care can on average live to 40. Wild animals significantly less, so I imagine things will get worked out to allow them to reach 60. Remember, human lifespans last I checked average at 80, but living longer is definitely possible. As to that second part here, let's not entertain that thought.

Would they even be Pete and dragon(seriously wished she had a actual name, I mean, why is the Griffin the ONLY demi god with a name? This feels complicated, especially with dragon, as we have seen atleast ONE other dragon make a appearance, so this could be very confusing.) Be considered those beings anymore? Even if they get their memory back, they have long lost their divine status, and how does one go about getting the powers of a deity back? Is it spontaneous? Is it a long process? What are the requirements? Also...

Guess it depends on what you consider their identity. They'll probably get their powers and status back as soon as their mortal times are up. Also remember, "Pete" isn't his name. Seems to be a nickname for mortals to actually pronounce. His real name was partially visible back in the Dog Days of Summer arc, and attempting to spell "Pete" in one of the traps in the temple caused an immediate failure.

How are a dragon and a Griffin, two different animals (don't use the whole "their mythical animals so it doesn't matter" approach to justify things about them, because it just seems lazy) minus the demi God status thing, brother and sister? Is it actually step sister and step brother? Is it adoption? If so, which one? So many questions on those two.

Welp, guess you're gonna have to settle for the "lazy" option. Remember, Pete and Cerberus were confirmed dating for a long while.

I wonder if we will see Cerberus'es BROTHER (who may now be gender bent in this universe to her sister, because if I remember correctly, the real world cerberus is a dude, with rare exceptions in MODERN media where ONE head is a girl poodle, or if I remember correctly, another version that's fully a female poodle.) Who may have a new role, maybe not as big, but has some level of authority and may step in. Or we may get the chimera lady, as she looks like a demi goddess, being that in greek mythos the chimera is ALSO a sibling of Cerberus, and Cerberus has ALOT of siblings that are famous. I wonder if this demi God steps in to deal with marron. I know it will most likely not happen, but I want more demi God shenanigans, again!! But hopefully with less of a cosmic level threat involved.

Heh, I recall proposing that Orthrus was now in Cerberus' old job as gatekeeper of Hell.

Also, anyone wanna take bets on whether or not Thomas will go full on native with Sophia? I heard it's the trendiest thing right now...

Right now, probably not. He's obviously trying to retain his humanity.

Sorry I never saw this, my phone doesn't alert me on all responses for some reason.

Really? Kitsune said ONLY one? I thought it was like decades of mortal lifes....

I guess we can't have some cheat to have pete and spirit back.

Also, pete ISN'T his real name? I thought it was. How IS his real name spelled? What is his real name? Does spirit dragon even have a name, besides "spirit"?

I don't get though how the pete and cerberus dating reflects the relationship between spirit and pete though.....

Yo, how'd you know which of her siblings I was talking about? And are you sure about his (or maybe her, as I was just wanting a big brother to probably get on pete about dissing his little sis, but orthrus as CEBERUS'es little sister or brother could work too, or as her big sis) status presently? Wasn't he guarding sheep, aka living mortals, so thus would be more active with mortal affairs, and guarding their souls like cerberus did when pete tried to steal a soul from her guard?

Also, are you sure about Thomas retaining his humanity?

[VeryAngryDeer]

A vacation to mortality, with a minimum of 60 years.

Kitsune doesn't specifically say multiple lifetimes, but I can see where you're coming from. Life expectancy for a wild fox in the Housepets universe is probably around 30 years, half of their mandatory minimum.

Also, pete ISN'T his real name? I thought it was. How IS his real name spelled? What is his real name? Does spirit dragon even have a name, besides "spirit"?

Pete was the name given to him by Peanut in Grape's dream, because he couldn't pronounce Pete's real name:

Pete's real name appears written down on some paper in the third panel:

[NHWestoN]

Peanut's Akkadian lessons apparently didn't prepare him to handle Pete's given name. And isn't that a great picture of Kitsune in "Tails"?

[Amazee Dayzee]

I really think that picture of him in the panel is just totes adorbs! ^.^

[D-Rock]

Peanut's Akkadian lessons apparently didn't prepare him to handle Pete's given name. And isn't that a great picture of Kitsune in "Tails"?

I thought I read that Akkadian pronunciation is only guessed, as it was a long dead language by the time it was rediscovered? I believe the site I read mentioned that they guessed pronunciation based on related languages that were still in use.

[Obbl]

'Tis indeed a bit of guesswork, just fairly well founded guesswork
But it isn't necessary that Pete's name is Akkadian, just that the temple door was written on in Akkadian

Which is why historians love graffiti - the people's literature.

I heard that Pompeii had preserved graffiti with things like "(Roman name) was here" and things like that on it. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

[ZAR22]

Still would like to know his real name though.


But also spirit dragon's name. What IS her real name?

You heard correctly, Deer. And a lot of other "very oldies But goodies" ("Silvanius loves Portia", "Silvanius is a *@#$%&!", "I hate the Army", etc.).
