I bet you the Rook isn't a bird at all.

I bet you the bird IS the Rook attack but it's sent by the Rook, like Elphaba's flying monkeys or Selina Kyle's cats. I bet the Rook is a lot more like Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget!

  • Or maybe it's just a foot soldier, sent by a much bigger Rook, like soldier bees being sent out by the queen. Or am I reading too much into this?

  • Or a puppet. Of a Giant. On a lark.

  • It's not a bird, it's the physical embodiment of destruction.

  • Maybe not everyone sees a bird. Maybe the bird is what you see. Maybe I see a dragon. Or a wererabbit.

    Maybe a rook is merely a pigment of someone's imagination.

  • @Juniper - That was an intentional mis-typing - not a violation needing the grammar police.

    It was a joke. A play on words.

  • I didn't notice that. I guess now that I did, I'll change 'harm' into ham :)

  • Snakes swallowing tails would mean that the Rook took Tinkering III.  Which would mean The Rooks is not a bird, but a Glitch.

  • Your snake swallowing its tail was just eaten by my phoenix, who happens to be named Möbius.

  • In chess terms, a rook is the castle shaped piece, not the most important piece. Wonder if there's a king or queen behind the shadows controlling the rook (as "pawns").

  • The "Rook" is really a Glitch, that was driven from Ur centuries ago, for being a Black Magician. He found the Rooks in the baren wasteland that he inhabits, enslaved them and took on the name "Rook". For centuries, he has been plotting his attack - his revenge. And now, the time has come. He's starting with small attacks on individual streets, but that's only the beginning. It's going to get much, much worse. Soon, he'll start attacking countries - Groddle Meadow, Jethimadh, Groddle Forest, etc. Eventually, once we're weakened, he'll start a full-scale attack on the whole of Ur. We must stop him before he is too strong.
