Okay, before I even read this, I HAVE TO KNOW: why is he wearing a glowing candy corn? This is seriously going to bother me.

Regarding the black rams: well, I think the color's obvious. I doubt the game writers intended to make some oblique joke about his "wearing the horns", so I'm going to guess it's just a desire to avoid the idea of the "black sheep"?

*must stop laughing to type* It's a party hat! ...As depicted in third-hand Youtube screencaps.

And black rams are a low-level enemy in the game (they're the only sheep who fight back when you try to harvest them for life force) but sheep are a sort of running joke in the series. I suspect that's the simplest explanation, as much as I like the 'black sheep' associations. :p

It's a candy corn! And now it's trying to pull it's horrible Halloween trick on me months early! I AM UNPREPARED FOR THIS MADNESS! :P

Ah, that would make sense. I guess it gives the target a vague chance of fighting back?

Ha! Minions are good, but axes are better!

[lord_it_over]

Well, I have axes and minions.

And minions to make the axes.

[vvardenfelldown]

...I need to get some axe-making minions.

Unless you plan to pledge yourself to the powers of darkness, that's going to be difficult.

...

Do you?
