Arnold roped other humans into helping him, until two more legendary creatures appeared and claimed they had come to punish the Kospego. Arnold and the other minions gave up on the Kospego and decided to worship "Sideswingo" and "Bumbeego" instead. As the Kospego Commands!
Notes
[edit]- The Kospego is very loosely based on the Algonquian myth of the Wendigo. However, it's based more on the popular modern depiction of a half-deer half-human beast; the original Wendigo from Algonquian folklore was a gaunt, corpse-like cannibalistic giant with a literal frozen heart.
- The Japanese name for the Kospego, "Shikapyon" (シカピョン), is a portmanteau of "shika" (鹿, "deer"), and "pyonpyon" (ぴょんぴょん), a mimetic adverb which means "hopping" or "repeatedly jumping" (as deer are known to do).
Foreign names
[edit]- Japanese: Shikapyon (シカピョン)
- French: Cospego
- Mandarin: Kospego (科斯佩戈 Kēsīpèigē)
