{{ManuelEntry|Baa'baa'bu'ran|*Besides paying homage to various ancient gods, stone temple carvings were also frequently used as warnings to would-be thieves. This one meant "Corridor Slippery When Wet".
*Baa'baa'bu'ran's priests were recognized by the extremely long white woolen socks they wore everywhere. There has apparently been a resurgance of this cult among schoolgirls in certain parts of The Distant Lands.
*Baa'baa'bu'ran was the god of many minor concepts and objects, including doorknobs, the smell of rain, open-faced sandwiches, and the ampersand. He was said to reside in the part of the underworld known as Misctlan.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|baa-relief sheep|*Carvings of sheep were believed to ward off many diseases, because it was also believed that diseases were caused by invisible demons, and invisible demons were believed to be afraid of sheep. People believed some weird things in those days.
*Stone wool was commonly used by ancient peoples to knit really dense and heavy sweaters, as well as a filling for supremely uncomfortable pillows.
*Engraved depictions of ancient sheep are actually quite accurate -- sheep really were that flat and angular back then. The round, puffy sheep of today are a relatively recent adaptation to modern atmospheric conditions.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|bacon snake|*Putting a Bac-Os Snake™ in a desk drawer is a fun prank to play on a coworker who is afraid of bacon snakes.
*Eating the flesh of a bacon snake will cure a hangover, but the venom in it will give you a different hangover, so it's kind of a wash.
*Bacon snakes, like all snakes, make terrible pets, unless you are a stripper, in which case it's kinda hot I guess, in a weird way.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Bad ASCII Art|*Kirby dance! <(o.o<) (>o.o)> ^(o.o )^ v( o.o)v
*Guy with huge buck teeth! :-B
*Disembodied mustache! ~---~}}
{{ManuelEntry|bag of Potatoes of Security|*Did you notice how there are French fries in the Kingdom, even though there's no France? Weird, right?
*There's no 'i' in team, and there's no 'e' in potato. Keep that in mind if you ever want to be re-elected as Vice President.
*Delicious Crash Potatoes: boil small red potatoes. Drizzle olive oil on a cookie sheet. Put potatoes on the sheet, smoosh with fork. Top with olive oil, salt, pepper. Bake in the broiler until tips are brown. you're welcome.}}
{{ManuelEntry|baguette lady|*The baguette lady has nobody to care for her, because all of her breadstick children went off to work in olive gardens.
*Her hobbies include wandering in parks and feeding parts of herself to birds.
*One day there'll be nothing left of her but croutons.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Bailey's Beetle|*Most hippies insist that they, like, totally drive better when they're stoned, man.
*The Beetle's biodiesel engine gets 40 miles to the hash brown.
*At least 70% of each of Bailey's Beetles is bailing wire, bong resin, or some combination of the two.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Bananubis|*Bananubis is the still-living god of death, tombs, and jungle fruits.
*Bananubis's father, Tangelosiris, is the god of the Underworld and citrus.
*Tangelosiris's mother was named Nut, and was the goddess of berries.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Bangyomaman Warrior|*In most cases, carrying a big gun means you're overcompensating for some other shortcoming. Bangyomaman warriors are short only on empathy.
*The Bangyomaman homeworld used to have three suns, but now it only has two, because one day they got mad and blew up the third one.
*Bangyomaman warriors love being scratched behind their ears. No, wait. I meant "hate" and "shot". The area behind their ears is ''really'' sensitive.}}
{{ManuelEntry|banjoccultist|*The banjoccultist is second only in nerdy dark magic to the occulticcordianist.
*Though the occulticcordianist is a more powerful figure on the Scrabble board.
*When banjoccultists meet, they duel for hours, until their fingers (and most of the rest of their bodies) are bleeding.}}
{{ManuelEntry|banshee librarian|*Banshee librarians have a pretty high turnover rate. Most go on to host primal scream therapy sessions.
*The banshee's wail is an E three octaves above middle C. It requires a lot of diaphragm control.
*A banshee's wail can shatter crystal. And concrete. And pretty much everything else.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bar|*The best way to fight a bar is to trip it, thereby lowering it.
*So a priest, a rabbi, and a stripper walk into a bar, and it eats all of them.
*To best visualize the bar population in the Distant Woods, I recommend making a bar chart.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Baron von Ratsworth|*Baron von Ratsworth made his fortune trading in steel futures, but nowadays he's mostly into real estate.
*Baron von Ratsworth's top hat is made out of the finest spider silk, spun by only the very best spiders from good old-money spider families.
*If you want to hit the Baron where it hurts, hit him in the wallet. Or, y'know, the kidneys. That'll do.|attack=20|defense=18|hp=25}}
{{ManuelEntry|barrow wraith|*Is a monster that is sneaking up on you in pitch-darkness scarier if I tell you it's also invisible?
*What if the monster... ''is'' the darkness?
*What if the monster is the ''cave itself?'' You're already eaten!|name=barrow wraith?}}
{{ManuelEntry|basaltamander|*Don't ask what keeps its stone armor from re-melting.
*Basaltamanders are one of the few animals that are already pre-cooked when they're still alive.
*Misunderstood reports of basaltamander sightings by early explorers resulted in the myths and legends of elephants. Those early explorers were ''really'' hard to understand.}}
{{ManuelEntry|baseball bat|*The baseball bat is made out of cowhide, which raises bizarre evolutionary questions.
*The stitching on the baseball bat is organic, and disturbing.
*Scientists who have dissected a baseball bat have found simply string wound around a cork. Scientists in universes where magic works have constant headaches.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Bashful, the Reindeer|*Bashful is usually in the back of the pack come sleigh-pulling time, because he's too shy to ask for a better spot.
*He has a huge crush on one of the other reindeer, but would totally just die if they ever found out.
*I suppose we could have done a joke like, his name is Bashful because he likes to bash people. But nah, he's just shy.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|BASIC Elemental|*This BASIC elemental is blind, because it hasn't upgraded to Visual Basic.
*BASIC stands for "Bacon As Soon as I Can." or at least I'd like it to.
*Most BASIC elementals are docile creatures who just want to know how many stars you want.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bat|*What we take to be a bat's eyes are actually just really badly-designed nostrils.
*The old idiom "as blind as a bat" was originally "as blind as a bat smells."
*How does a blind bat smell? Terrible, thank you.}}
{{ManuelEntry|batbugbear|*Batbugbear dung is still called "guano," because guano is a funny word.
*Batbugbears sleep upside-down, but frequently wake up dizzy with all the blood rushing to their giant heads.
*Batbugbears, despite their frightening appearance, eat mostly mosquitos and fruit.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Batburglar|*Batburglars specialize in climbing vertical surfaces to break into buildings and steal stuff. You know -- like a bat.
*Deep down, Batburglars are really just trying to steal back their childhoods, which were stolen from them.
*In an alternate universe where McDonald's sells burgers made of bat meat, the Batburglar would be a harmless mascot instead of a formidable foe.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|batrat|*The batrat's favorite delicacy is cheese-covered mosquitos.
*Batrats sleep upside-down in holes chewed into baseboards.
*Orphans who are frightened by batrats tend to spend the rest of their lives in institutions, rather than become vigilantes.|defense=20}}
{{ManuelEntry|Batsnake|*The Batsnake used to have a utility belt, but it kept sliding off because snakes don't have hips.
*The Batsnake doesn't have a Batjet or Batmobile, but it does have Batstench.
*The Batsnake lives almost exclusively on the robins that fly into the cave and pass out from the smell.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Battlesuit Bugbear Type|*Bugbear battlesuits are equipped with blue lasers, so all of their attacks are in high definition.
*A bugbear battlesuit allows its pilot to survive any environment, from the vacuum of space to the bottom of the sea. The only thing it can't do is climb stairs.
*Bugbear battlesuits run on a powerful combination of fusion technology and magic. Bugbears themselves run on fusion cuisine and magic mushrooms.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Battlie Knight Ghost|*The Galaxy Battles chronicles are best read in the following order: Chapter four, Chapter five, Chapter two, Chapter three, Chapter six. Just skip Chapter one.
*Although some purists insist you should only read the last three chapters, because they were written first, back before the God who created Duke Starkiller went insane with greed and lust for power.
*Still others say that you should just read the Serene Chronicles of Captain Reynold Malcolm instead, because you get all the spacey goodness with none of the crap.|attack=76|defense=64|hp=40|image=aboo_wars.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|batwinged gremlin|*Gremlins delight in disassembling things, such as vehicles, computers, factory machinery, and adventurers.
*The rule about never feeding a gremlin after midnight is complicated by the fact that it's always after the previous midnight, so when can you start feeding them again? And what about time zones? Man it's like it was *designed* for someone to screw it up.
*If, while fighting a bat-winged gremlin, you happen to see a tinier gremlin on the first one's wing, don't bother trying to tell anyone about it, because they won't believe you.|defense=153}}
{{ManuelEntry|batwinged gremlin (quest)|*Batwinged gremlins are sometimes attacked by other tiny gremlins who sit on their wings and try to sabotage their flight.
*Batwinged gremlins don't have sonar, and must navigate by either checking a map before they leave or turn-by-turn GPS.
*Each batwinged gremlin can eat up to a pound of mosquitoes a night. They just choose not to, the little jerks.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bazookafish|*Bazookafish bubble gum is a natural secretion of the bazookafish. Again, it's all about making scientists freak out.
*Bazookafish have a short life cycle, as their mature form is incapable of eating. They really should have thought that one through.
*Do not attempt to operate a bazookafish without reading the safety manual, and watch out for that recoil.}}
{{ManuelEntry|béarnaise zombie|*Ironically, before the zombie became a béarnaise zombie, its name was Bernice.
*Despite the name, no bears are harmed in the making of béarnaise sauce.
*Tarragon was named after the famous ranger who took some midgets to throw a ring in a volcano.}}
{{ManuelEntry|beanbat|*It takes approximately 144,000 beanbats to stuff a single beanbatbag chair.
*If you grind up a beanbat and pour boiling water over it, you probably have some mental problems.
*A beanbat is best eaten refried with some rice and cheese.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bearpig topiary animal|*Would bearpig be considered an unclean animal? Or could it be kosher if you only ate the bear parts?
*The bearpig has man arms, though. It probably didn't have the right to bear arms. And yes, we are going to keep making that joke, because it's funny. It's always funny.
*Maybe the topiary artist was really ''good'', and there really is a bearpig running around somewhere? Nah..}}
{{ManuelEntry|Beast with X Ears|*Part of the reason the Beast is so angsty is he has swimmer's ear in all of his ears. Ugh.
*The Beast produces more wax in his ears every day than a hive of bees produce in a month.
*Several of the Beast's ears are cauliflowered, but it doesn't like to talk about them.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|Beast with X Eyes|*These beasts are very difficult to sneak up on, but on the other hand, they're very susceptible to that Three Stooges trick.
*Eyebeasts don't bother to show up at Fernswarthy's Basement community meetings any more, because they got sick of people making the "The eyes have it!" joke.
*Eyebeats never wear eyeliner or mascara -- partly because it would take too long to apply it all, and partly because they don't have any hands.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|Beaver|*Beavers aren't actually very eager, and tend to whine and bitch incessantly while they're building their dams.
*Beavers use their wide, flat tails to press sandwiches, to make them more flavorful.
*Beavers don't actually eat wood, they just gnaw on it to keep their teeth in shape. This is yet another thing that cartoons have lied to you about.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bee|*A bee's favorite Shakespeare quotation is "Two bees? Why yes, two bees."
*Bees can't read.
*Bees also can't write or do math, because every time they try to learn the 3 Rs it's too cold and they have to leave.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bee swarm|*It would be incorrect to assume that bee swarms hate skaters. What they hate is people who aren't skating.
*Roving swarms of bees are frequently hired as security enforcers at skate parks. How this got started or what the bees are paid with is unclear.
*It would take a swarm of more than 3,400,000 bees to equal the approximate average weight of the Incredible Hulk.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|bee thoven|*Bee thovens attack in a series of rigidly-defined movements.
*The buzzing of a bee thoven is so loud that it makes each individual bee effectively deaf.
*You can defeat a bee thoven by causing it to roll over, which disorients it.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|beebee gunners|*The beebee gunners aren't involved in honey-making, but they do make some delicious chutney on their days off.
*Beebee gunners aren't terribly accurate with their shooting, but they can always sting as a last resort.
*The beebee gunners stole their rifle from a Red Rider named Daisy.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|Beebee King|*It might initially sound strange for a bee king to be a mere military commander, but remember that bees are led by a queen, and she can have as many husbands as she damn well pleases.
*Notice that, although a beebee is a two-member team, the beebee king flies solo. This is to help spread out the chain of command, and... you know, actually it isn't very interesting. Never mind.
*The beebee kings do not emply grand viziers. Well, some of them do, but they generally have them executed for treason right away, to save trouble later.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|beebee queue|*Did you know that the best remedy for a bee sting is to immediately get another bee sting in the exact same place?
*Unfortunately, this is almost never possible, because bees are like lightning.
*The primary way in which bees are like lightning is that dogs do not like them.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|beefy bodyguard bat|*Each beefy bodyguard bat can lift three times his body weight, provided he has a water bottle and a good spotter.
*The beefy bodyguard bat's wings aren't actually lettuce leaves. They're just really bulky regular ol' wings.
*You may think the beefy bodyguard bat is just a dumb slab of muscle, but he actually reads poetry and writes short stories in his spare time.}}
{{ManuelEntry|beelephant|*The first beelephants were actually a cross between a bee, and eel, and an elephant. They had much longer trunks, and eventually died out because they kept getting them tangled around things.
*Most varieties of beelephant can only sting once before dying. This is because, like regular bees, part of their internal organs are pulled out with the stinger. Unlike regular bees, this is much much more disgusting to witness.
*Okay, the scientists are ''totally sure'' this time -- that thing should ''definitely'' not be able to fly.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Beer Batter|*The beer batter holds approximately 80 liters of beer, or almost enough to make a booze giant slightly tipsy.
*The beer batter's bat is made of aluminum, or "lorry" if you're British.
* The beer batter's favorite color is beer.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Beer Bongadier|*Frat boys scientists have experimented with methods of getting drunk even faster than is possible with a beer bong, such as reverse stomach pumps, whiskey IV drips, and the World's Worst Enema.
*Frat boy scientists take very meticulous notes of their experiments, since typically nobody is able to remember how they went otherwise.
*Attempts have been made to combine the beer bong with a regular bong, but this generally results in either drinking a lot of hot ashes, or drowning.|defense=175}}
{{ManuelEntry|befouled straw house|*Just as you should never build an igloo out of yellow snow, you should never build a house with straw from the stables.
*One reason befouled straw houses stay so gross is that if you try to scrub or power wash them, they fall over.
*Actually, no matter what you do to a straw house, it's pretty much guaranteed to fall over. No point blaming the wolf.|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|bellhop|*The bellhop's brother does the same job, but has no arms. I don't recall his name, but his face rings a bell.
*In his spare time, the bellhop tries to make dogs salivate at the ring of a bell. He's all the way up to making hamsters twitch slightly.
*The bellhop doesn't have a hunchback, but he does have a slight speech impediment.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|Best Carpet Ever|*You can use salt to get bloodstains out of a carpet, and a tarp to avoid getting bloodstains on your carpet in the first place.
*The Best Carpet Ever makes the plushest shag you've ever walked on feel like thorny concrete in comparison.
*The Best Carpet Ever is hypoallergenic, stain resistant, and possibly sentient.}}
{{ManuelEntry|best-selling novelist|*It's said that one of the worst sentences the best-selling novelist ever wrote was "The famous man looked at the red cup." In fact, he never used this line, but he has written much, much worse.
*The author's works belong to a genre known as "airport novels", which are called that because if an engine explodes and your plane goes down in a ball of flames while you're reading one, you won't mind so much.
*Some argue that you should not be too harsh in judging a popular author on the quality of his prose -- after all, his job is to entertain, and people obviously enjoy the books. Therefore, it is the readers who should be flogged for not knowing better.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Bettie Barulio|*Bettie's old suitors, so many and varied,<br />filled up their own cemetery when buried.
*Bettie's removal to realms immaterial<br />was due to a full set of diseases (venereal).
*I wouldn't describe her as being a nympho,<br />but only because there is no rhyme for 'nympho'.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|biclops|*Biclops are more commonly called, "dudes who have the standard amount of eyes," but that's a little unwieldy for everyday use.
*Biclops are ridiculed by Triclopses, who can see in three dimensions and beyond the veil of death.
*Quadroclopses are just biclopses with glasses on.}}
{{ManuelEntry|biker|*The earliest bikers rode motorcycles made out of stones and animal bones.
*Every year, bikers compete for the coveted "Most Flatulent-Sounding Exhaust" award
*Bikers adhere to a strict moral code, and are thus only allowed to beat one another up over territory disputes and also for any other reason.}}
{{ManuelEntry|big creepy spider|*This spider has eight legs, four eyes, and three mixtapes it made for its girlfriend.
*Spider silk is incredibly strong, but is dry-clean only.
*One time, a bunch of scientists gave spiders a variety of hallucinogenic drugs to see if it changed how the spiders spun their webs. Scientists really know how to party, man.|attack=1|defense=0|hp=1|image=spider1.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|Big Meat Golem|*The big meat golem would be tastiest pan-seared, rare, with some cracked pepper and butter.
*The big meat golem is worth approximately 12,000 dense meat stacks.
*If he were made into jerky, the big meat golem could cause an entire junior high school to lose their fillings.}}
{{ManuelEntry|big swarm of ghuol whelps|*Swarms of ghuol whelps have been known to skeletonize an entire dead cow in minutes, completely ruining many a summer barbecue.
*Since the picture doesn't give much sense of scale, you might like to know that ghuol whelp heads are about the size of chick peas.
*Ghuol whelps are born in clutches of about 30-50. Most of them will die before reaching adulthood, but you shouldn't feel sad about that. Seriously, these things aren't cute at all. They're super-gross.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Big Wheelin' Twins|*The Big Wheelin' Twins are actually both over the recommended maximum weight for their tricycles, so they have to keep reinforcing the plastic frame with duct tape.
*The Big Wheelin' Twins eat three times their body weight in cheese each day, so they can maintain their physique with all the exercise they do.
*Since the pedals are mounted directly to the front wheel, the Big Wheelin' Twins' trikes technically count as fixies, and the twins themselves as hipsters.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Big Wisnaqua|*The Big Wisnaqua splits his time between attacking adventurers and running through channels designed to guide rainwater. Strikes and gutters, man. Strikes and gutters.
*You could call the Big Wisnaqua an aquaman, but that's not the preferred nomenclature.
*The Big Wisnaqua can frequently be found bubbling through the glass sculptures hippies use to inhale the smoke from herbs.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bigface|*The most famous bigface was a bigface known as Todd. Along with his band, the Monsters, he was the indie darling of the grunge era.
*Some cryptozoologists insist that bigface should be known as "littlebody," but that name never really caught on.
*Bigface has some kind of natural camouflage that makes it impossible to take an in-focus picture of him.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bizarre construct|*El Vibrato punchcards make terrific bookmarks.
*Not much is known about El Vibrato island and the strange constructs that inhabit it. Which makes these factoids extremely difficult to write.
*It may seem strange that such greatly advanced technology would operate with paper punchcards. This is because it is, in fact, strange.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bizarre construct|*Honestly, all of the El Vibrato constructs are pretty bizarre. I'm not sure why this one is being singled out.
*El Vibrato constructs are made from vibritanium, which is difficult to describe, but is sort of like an alloy of diamond, titanium, and graham crackers. Yeah, difficult to describe, like I said.
*Although the El Vibrato constructs are not supposed to possess individual emotions or desires, this particular one has discovered that it really really likes improvisational jazz.}}
{{ManuelEntry|BL Imp|*BL Imps are fat because human souls are very high in calories. Diet souls exist, but they just don't taste as good.
*Last year's Hey Deez Halloween Costume Contest was won by a BL imp, who went as Violet Beauregarde.
*If BL imps danced, the number of them that could dance on the head of a pin is three, if the pin was about as long as a subway train and had a proportionately-sized head.}}
{{ManuelEntry|black adder|*Black adders usually live in rowan trees.
*Black adders are more deadly than puff adders; although, since the naming conventions changed, puff adders are just called "p. addys."
*How is black adder venom like a beautiful woman? Both can stop a man's heart with a single flick of the tongue.}}
{{ManuelEntry|black cat|*The cat lost its other eye battling a troll that was trying to steal a little girl's breath while she slept.
*The shape of a cat's tongue means that, even if the cat could talk, it couldn't pronounce the word "hibachi."
*The average cat has the same level of intelligence as a two-year-old human, and the same level of malevolence and capacity for destruction, too.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Beast|*Well, you'd be angsty too, if your tail grew straight up out of your back like that.
*Also, if you were totally unable to close your mouth because of your giant teeth. I know that'd make me kind of crabby.
*Furthermore, I definitely would not enjoy it much if my body were a potato.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Beetle|*There are approximately 400,000 species of beetle. Probably a third of those are just species we've already counted moving fast and wearing disguises, though.
*Like all insects and some circus performers, beetles have six legs.
*Ladybugs are a species of beetle. Did you know that? I didn't. That totally blew my mind when I learned that.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Constellation|*The Black Crayon Constellation, made of five five-pointed stars, is the most evil thing ever drawn on the back of someone's Algebra notebook.
*Sadly, the five-star drawing only got two stars from the Emo Kid's teacher.
*When you wish upon a black crayon star, the only dreams that come true are the ones based around black wax.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Crimbo Elf|*For some reason, the black crayon crimbo elf is wearing a pope hat.
*Crimbo elves don't color with crayons; they just lick lollipops and smear them on the paper.
*The whole candy shtick is pretty much all crimbo elves have going for them.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Demon|*Black crayons in the Kingdom are dyed with squid ink. Just thought you should know.
*Just kidding. They're actually dyed with blackberries, so they're the most delicious crayon in the box.
*Please tell me that you just ate a crayon. It'll make my day.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Elemental|*Although it may try to convince you that it's any number of different kinds of elementals, it's actually the most important element of all: imagination.
*If you ask him, the kid will say he only uses black crayons because of the torment in his soul or some nonsense like that. It's actually because he's red-everything colorblind.
*The artistic goth kid's crayons are made from the fat of witches, which he steals from the dumpster behind the fat witch liposuction clinic.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Fish|*The fish smiles like that because it knows something you don't know. (I don't know either.)
*Crayon drawings of fish have even worse memories than actual fish, and often forget about the existence of things while they're still looking at them.
*It is unclear whether that fin is growing out of the top of the fish's head, or if he's offering you a high-five. Maybe you should go ahead and high-five him, just in case. You wouldn't want to leave him hanging.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Flower|*The word "jejune" means boring or insipid. It also means that you can immediately stop listening to anyone who uses it in a conversation.
*Flowers are not actually pedestrian at all -- they don't have feet or legs, and cannot walk. So who's the dummy ''now'', Mr. Gothy Arteest?
*Coincidentally, this is actually a very realistic rendering of a rare flower known as the Loathingian Scribblily, the seeds of which are used to treat certain forms of intestinal parasites.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Frat Orc|*It's possible that the Black Crayon Frat Orc isn't actually wearing a baseball cap, but rather a headband. With like one loose end trailing off, see? Isn't that weird?
*This may be one of the Artistic Goth Kid's best examples of portraiture -- look at that dazed, slightly confused, drunken facial expression. How true to life!
*The Artistic Goth Kid has also been known to draw a Sorority Orc from time to time, but he doesn't show those pictures to anybody.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Goblin|*True goblins have been absent from the Kingdom for years. Only their mutated, stunted progeny, the Knob Goblins, remain.
*True goblins were taller and smarter than Knob Goblins, like just about everyone.
*True goblins had neither a king nor a harem. They had an enlightened phagocratic society, in which whomever could eat the most of his rivals got to be rule.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Golem|*Golems have mystical words inscribed on a scroll and stuck in their heads. This one's scroll just says, "rainy soul miasma pain blood."
*The black crayon golem's eye-beams hurt at least four times more than being hit with an iron i-beam.
*You can get wax stains out of clothing by ironing the affected spot and blotting up the wax with a paper towel.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Hippy|*Black crayons are technically just really, really burnt sienna.
*A true black crayon would absorb light into itself, making it almost painful to look at it. Y'know, like a goth kid's hairdo.
*The official name for the color of the Goth Kid's crayon is "Eldritch Night." It's also the name of his Sisters of Mercy cover band.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Hobo|*A black crayon hobo is 90% less likely to steal a pie left cooling on your windowsill.
*Black crayon hobos have a higher concentration of stearic acid than other black crayon creations.
*Black crayon hobos don't have anything in their bindles except crayon shavings.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Man|*Fun fact: Jick drew all the black crayon art with his left hand.
*Funner fact: Mr. Skullhead's left-handed drawings are about as good as Jick's.
*Funnest fact: Mr. Skullhead is left-handed and Jick is not.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Manloid|*Other creatures that look human but aren't include: elves, knob goblins with their helmets on, gnolls when it's pretty dark or maybe you aren't wearing your glasses, and bureaucrats.
*That little arm sticking out of the manloid's stomach is pretty puzzling, isn't it? Even the manloid himself seems a bit confused by it.
*Manloids tend to have shorter lifespans than regular people, due to the unusual stresses on their spine and internal organs. They also find it very difficult to buy clothing off the rack.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Mer-kin|*Mer-kin generally avoid swimming though any sort of miasma, because it is bad for their gills.
*If this particular Mer-kin seems sad to you, it is because he is missing his... gills? Head fins? Frills? What are those, anyway?
*A real Mer-kin would be offended if you described him as being half fish and half human. In fact, they refer to both fish and humans with the same word, which roughly translates to "half Mer-kin, half idiot".|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Penguin|*If you're going to draw something on white paper with a black crayon, your options are limited to penguins, polar bears, zebras, and nuns. Or some combination of thereof.
*Black crayon penguins feed their young by regurgitating crayon shavings into their mouths.
*Black crayon penguins are not natural swimmers, since their legs are just two little sticks.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Crayon Pirate|*Most pirates have an eyepatch because they have a hook-hand and pet allergies.
*Some pirates are experimenting with different kinds of hook-hands. For instance, crochet hook-hands are good for passing the time on long sea voyages.

*And finally, for all you Hitchhiker's fans: Fenchurch.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Black Knight|*The black knight didn't seem racist at first, but now it kinda does.
*The reason it seems racist is that most people haven't seen the movie Black Knight, starring Martin Lawrence, so they don't recognize the references as references, rather than random expressions of stereotypes.
*The reason most people haven't seen that movie is because it is ''godawful''.}}
{{ManuelEntry|black magic woman|*The proper greeting for a black magic woman is, "¿oye, como va?"

{{ManuelEntry|black panther|*Black panthers are not actually a distinct species of cat -- they are actually jaguars or leopards that are affected by a genetic anomaly similar to albinism, but in reverse. I bet you weren't expecting to get a real fact here!
*Black panthers were once very politically active, and attempted to cause government reforms by stalking and eating corrupt politicians. They were eventually discredited and disbanded through the use of smear tactics and snare traps.
*The rarest type of panther of all is of course the mauve panther, which feeds exclusively on foreign detectives.}}
{{ManuelEntry|black pudding (monster)|*Black pudding is not chocolate-flavored, in case you were wondering. I fact, it's practicially the ''opposite'' of chocolate-flavored.
*The edible type of black pudding is also known as "blood sausage", due to the fact that it's made from congealed animal blood. The mostrous sort of black pudding is also largely made of congealed blood, except it gets it from adventurers.
*In Soviet Russia, pudding eats you. Ugh, yeah, sorry about that.}}
{{ManuelEntry|black widow|*Black widow bites are rarely fatal if you receive immediate medical treatment. Black Widow Bites are also a terribly marketed type of candy.

{{ManuelEntry|bog skeleton|*The skeletons in the corpse bog are mainly upset about their commanding officers deciding that a swamp was a good place for a battle. After a while even the guys who were winning wished they were dead.

*If skeletons are permitted to steal skins unchecked, the whole thing quickly snowballs into an epidemic, like Japanese umbrellas.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bogart|*Bogarts do in fact know how to whistle.
*Most bogarts are not actually named Steve. That's just kind of an in-joke.
*Humphrey Bogart was actually one of the founding members (and the original leader) of the Rat Pack; Lauren Bacall is said to have coined the name. This doesn't actually have anything to do with this monster, but I thought it was interesting.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bolt-cuttin' elf|*Out-of-work bolt-cuttin' elves often find bicycle theft to be a profitable alternative to honest work.
*An elf once tried to cut a bolt of lightning in half. It didn't work, but it did result in the modern-day cryptozoological phenomenon known as Nessie.

*Despite their bright blue color, booth slimes do not taste like blue raspberry, and it is not recommended that you lick them.

{{ManuelEntry|box of Batter Mix of Hope|*Make your own pancake mix: a cup of flour, a tablespoon of baking powder, two tablespoons of sugar, two tablespoons of butter, one egg, a cup of milk.
*No one ever wants to try my beer-batter pancakes. Maybe it's that I use malt vinegar instead of syrup.
*What wizardry is batter! You can pour it in a cup and it's a cupcake, or cook it on a griddle and make a pancake, or dip things in it and deep fry them. It's, like, the duct tape of comestibles.}}

{{ManuelEntry|Bread Golem|*Many bread golems are made out of pumpernickel bread. This is because 'pumpernickel' is German for "farting goblin", which is hilarious.

*Bread makes you fat.}}

{{ManuelEntry|Bullet Bill|*Bullet Bills fly so slowly that they would take a full minute to go through an average person. A very unpleasant minute.
*Bullet Bills are all left-handed.
*Bullet Bills' arms appear to be made of skin, muscle, and bone, leading some to speculate that the whole organism is a guy in a suit with his arms poking out.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bulwark bull seal|*Bulwark bull seals are often afflicted with sebaceous cysts, which makes them angry all the time. It also makes them gross.
*As children, bulwark bull seals use their constant supply of disgusting sweat to turn every available surface into a Slip-n-Slide.
*Bulwarlk{{sic}} bull seals often use a combat maneuver called "the flop sweat," in which they flop on top of an opponent and then sweat on them until they drown.}}
{{ManuelEntry|bunch of drunken rats|*The metal beer keg was invented as a defense against drunken tavern rats, who kept chewing through the old wooden barrels.
*Some tavern owners have tried to get rid of drunken rat infestations by setting out shots of alcohol laced with poison, also called "Mickeys".
*Rumors that many famous beers include dead rats as a secret ingredient are false, but many brewers do use the number of drowned rats they find in the vats as an indicator of when the recipe is finally perfected.|attack=20|defense=18|hp=16|image=ratbunch.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|bundle of Meat of Happiness|*Medium Rare maximum. Otherwise, you're eating shoe leather or charcoal. There is no negotiation on this.
*Just kidding about the 'hippy' thing in the monster description. Plenty of reasonable people choose to not eat meat. The best of such people never make a big fuss about it, though.
*Pan-searing meat doesn't really lock in the juices, as people mistakenly believe. But it does lock in the deliciousness.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Bunsen burner and beaker|*The first Bunsen burners were invented by Robert Bunsen, an avid camper who wanted to figure out how to make s'mores inside.
*"Beakers" are so named because the spout on the front looks like a bird's beak.
*In a pinch, a beaker and Bunsen burner can be used to heat up a bowl of ramen. Just make sure you wash out the beaker, or at least add some sriracha to mask the chemical aftertaste of whatever was in there.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Burly Sidekick|*The burly sidekick is terrified of flying! His buddies had to drug his milk to get him on the airship.
*The burly sidekick does have an arm inside that gun, which is less hardcore than having your arm replaced with a gun.
*The burly sidekick is secretly having an affair with the spunky princess! The quiet healer knows, but . . .|defense=90}}
{{ManuelEntry|Burnglar|*The advantage of burning a place down after you've robbed it is that nobody knows anything was stolen.
*Gas stations, smoke shops, and kerosene stores are also popular targets for burnglars, of course.
*Some extra-enterprising (and brave) burnglars also steal the fire trucks.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|burner|*Also, why limit yourself to just burning men?
*You have to admit though, the videos of the exploding robot dinosaurs are pretty awesome.
*If not captured, these guys will eventually burn themselves out.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0|image=blankmook.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|Burning Snake of Fire|*The Burning Snake of Fire is a burning thing, and it makes a fiery ring.
*The Burning Snake of Fire is bound by one desire: to cook and eat you.
*The Burning Snake of Fire takes its name from a song by a musician who was not at all punk, yet whom all punk rockers inexplicably revere.}}
{{ManuelEntry|burnout|*Winners don't use drugs.
*Socrates was a winner.
*Therefore, hemlock is not a drug.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Burrowing Bishop|*I swear to you, for years now I thought that picture was a weird-looking hat. But it's actually two legs and a robe sticking out of the ground.
*The burrowing bishop is a formidable foe, both in the sky and on the chess board.
*The burrowing bishop's biggest find was the actual skull of Saint Osteus, a saint who performed miracles despite having no flesh on his head.|defense=146}}
{{ManuelEntry|Bush|*Astronomers have named the three berry stars in the constellation: the top left one's Chuck, the top right is Halle, and the bottom one is Hannabar.
*The bush's resemblance to a head cocked quizzically to the side was ignored by astronomers, since that didn't lend itself to genital slang.
*Oops, I guess I just let the cat out of the bag with the constellation names. Sorry, everyone.}}
{{ManuelEntry|business hippy|*Business Hippies are necessary because regular hippies only understand commerce in the form of bartering for clay beads, and they need someone who understands money to go out and buy the fancy polymer clay they like.
*Business hippy briefcases are generally made of hemp, although sometimes a particularly cunning hippy will have a briefcase made from naturally-shed snake skins.
*The most famous business hippy in history is said to have traded a few miles of worthless coastline in exchange for a huge pile of really awesome beads.|attack=35|defense=34|hp=25|image=bushippy.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|Bustle in the Hedgerow|*A group of hedgerows is called a "maze."
*A group of mazes is called a "maze book."
*There have never been enough "maze books" alive at the same time for anybody to name a group of them.|defense=130}}
{{ManuelEntry|Butterknife of Regret|*Never bring a butterknife to a steak knife fight.
*Ironically, a butterknife is nowhere near sharp enough to cut a stick of butter that's been in the fridge. Then again, nothing is.
*You're honestly better off with some spreadable margarine for toast. That way you won't risk destroying the bread while you're trying to butter it. Science!}}
{{ManuelEntry|buzzard|*The term for a group of buzzards is a "blizzard".
*Buzzards and vultures are basically the same thing, but buzzards are more "old-westy" for some reason.
*A buzzard's gizzard is called a guzzard.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|buzzerker|*The buzzerker's love for you is like a truck, in that he'd like to run you over.
*The buzzerker drinks only fermented honey, for maximum sugar rush/booze rage.
*The buzzerker's helmet horns are actually ant mandibles.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|Buzzy Beetle|*The Buzzy Beetle's shell is the third hardest thing in the Kingdom. Only diamonds and Gnollish Algebra are harder.
*The Buzzy Beetle's shell is coated with secreted oil on the bottom, so it goes far and fast when kicked. Also, it's gross if you try to pick it up.
*Buzzy Beetle's are impervious to fire, but sensitive to the "burn" of a well-placed insult.}}

==Unobtainable==
{{ManuelEntry|Best Game Ever|unobtainable=1|*Does it seem like an exaggeration to call this the Best Game Ever? Well, it isn't. It's just an objective fact.
*The Best Game Ever is notable for having an excellent player community, despite the fact that the playerbase is suuuuuuuper stuuuuuuupid.
*Although this game is of course the Best Game Ever, and always will be, the next one is going to be even better!|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
