Et tu, Terminus?
Not entirely sure what’s happening, it looks like Terminus unwraps the dagger and then stuck it into the table? But it isn’t exactly clear that’s what happened, it looks more like he’s *reaching* for the dagger in the last panel. Maybe a sound effect or something between the last two panels would be a good idea, just to make it more clear?
I fixed it!
In fact, it is a good idea to improve the meaning…
I,m curious about how Noxians deal with criminals.
They don’t have jail. Little things can be worked off, bigger things might require banishment from guilds or certain liberties… big things, like spending time on purpose with a human and teaching them all about Nox and having any sort of relationship is cause for a very grave form of punishment. Banishment and in extreme cases… death.
So, either a slap across the wrist with a limp lettuce leaf or (dun, dun, duuuunnn) … execution!
Let’s just say there isn’t much crime in Nox.
And the body count (of criminals,{fornicators with humans, too) as a percentage of Noxian total population?
Under or over 15%?
I don’t know, man. XD
P – I see… Then you found the door.
T – It’s my destiny…
P – Poor child… Do you know that you needhybrid blood to make it work?
T – Sure I know.
P – And do you know that that kind of hybridation doesn’t work?
T – Of course, I tested it by myself.
P – WHAT???
Nightmare facepalm.
Just a question.
How is banishment done?
I mean… they are obviously not human, so send it to our world is not an option if there is some magic involved to turn into humans before send them.
There is another place where they send them perhaps? A region of Nox where there is no return (at least not easily) and without magic and access to Earth?
It’s a interesting line plot. A subculture of “banished” people like in the “Divergent” trilogy?
I guess than in the deepest places of Nox, without magic nor artificial light filled with foul air it should be a challenge to survive.
They are just banished out of the guild. There are people who don’t belong to either faction, like Eclipse, for instance.
I wonder how this scene will end… If he supports Terminus’ plans then does that make him an antagonist?
Hey Brandon what are they talking about. And will we shadow and Tim soon or later. How many page are left in chapter 4
You aren’t following this? and I have no idea how many more pages. It doesn’t really get planned out that way.
If you backtrack, you’ll see that Terminus and Nightmare found a set of doors Terminus couldn’t open. Implication: they’re the doors to this Core Pax is referring to.
Or at least Terminus thinks so? He probably has a reason for this… but then there’s also wishful thinking. We don’t know yet.
Drama tag being pulled in 3… 2…
That tag was pulled a while ago, I’d say.
I might have to go back and read again from the beginning, just to make sure I know all that’s going on.
In any case I like this strip and I like the characters. 🙂
Always a good idea, every few months or so.
Happy new year dude🎆🥳. Are you still updating pages every Sunday?
Maybe not every Sunday, but I’m still updating when I can, yeah.
Will you ever change Tim’s bedroom to the attic like you did in the ancient texts? If so cool. If not. Why did you ever put him up there? I always thought it had cool aesthetic…
Is it not on an upper level already? On page #13 there is an additional short flight of stairs to Tim’s room, and on page #142 Tom refers to Shadow as being “still up there”.
I don’t think so. We haven’t been given enough angles of Tim’s room to be positive. From what I could gather, kid Tim’s bedroom is the same as teen Tim’s. Im picture a like 1990s attic bedroom with the slanted walls and the window to the roof. Idk probably not a point of concern for the plot anyways.
In the original story, Tim’s bedroom was moved to the attic. Hearing Shadow’s hooves on the floor were what alerted Tom and Ruth to Shadow’s visits.
Obviously, that is completely obsolete now in the current story.
“Hooves”, hahaha!
Hooves? Shadow has claws, not hooves…
The way I figure it from what we’ve seen, Tim’s room is like a walled-in mezzanine area. The short flight of stairs from the doorway is more half-height that full-height, so is not leading up to a second (or rather third) level.
definitely loving the direction of this plot. I can see what things that Tim said he and Shadow went thought might be.
Ok I am an absolute fan of this and I have a question for Brandon
1:is it ok with you if I wrote a book about this like with the same like story (I’m give you credit)
2:are you accepting suggestions for Reuters pages because if you are I handicraft the next like 7
You mean like fan fiction? That’s fine. If you were planning on writing a NOVEL or something I’d probably have to nix that idea.
No like I write little stories in class and stuff and I thought I could share your story with people and one again I love this comic and I can’t wait to see where it goes
I also had a little fiction too
Quick Question: Do Noxians have last names or just first names?
Well dude welcome it’s an honor to a new fan for the comic and ya you can read this much as you want plus we do needed new fans to make this comic ongoing for a long time well I hope you have fun reading this
Just first names, except in special cases where titles are bestowed upon individuals for one reason or another.
There should be a Wiki for all things related to The Monster Under the Bed. A complete lore and more would really tie us over till the next page. Someone should start one and you can fill in the details as you get time to do so. And any one wanting to write a fanfic like I am, can do it here –>https://novels.mega-anime.net/
If that is OK with you Brandon?
Some of us would really like something more Monster Under the Bed related content till the next page.
There’s just not that much of lore yet. Let’s hope there will be more, it looks like fun.
Well, I suggest that a cast of characters is a place to start (some have two identities) and Brandon once published in Patreon an image of tail shapes. The famliial connections could be suugested, then.
Just starter suggestions.
That is good starting point, thanks. I’ll look into that.

Oh shit sorry Brandon
And all manner of Shiitake mushrooms are about to hit the fan.
