Man I love Auruagu! He’s the funniest RP style player in the comic! Reminds me of my everquest days when I’d never break character for hours n hours on end. Hyes!
Scrappy Doo was the only decent character in that entire show, eternally denied the fulfillment of his potential.
The rest of the cast were just pointless cowards always running from what inevitably ended up being another idiot in a mask.
Or worse. I expect if he had the Mucha Lucha theme song in the background, they four them them might go into fits of hysterical laughter, catatonia and/or rage.
I actually see him as more of an anti-Bandit. He’s a fast, unarmored fighter who’s also pretty sneaky (stealing the stick, ambushing Syr’nj.) He’s arguably the most personable of the group, poor first impression notwithstanding. But where Bandit is cocky in a quiet, sly way, Auraugu shouts his greatness everywhere he goes.
I’m with you. Also, with this, he’s the guy who’s from another group, but ended up with this “main” one. Only to contrast, he’s from an older, established group that’s gone/dead, instead of being in a newer group formed when the first was dead/gone
His teeth are protruding over his lower jaw. He has an overbite. Don’t make fun of it, unless you want him to show you why it includes the word “Bite”.
If Penk’s personality is dramatically altered by becoming an avatar he might have a penchant for having his teammates strike elaborate poses as part of the Penk Force.
But all jokes aside we do need to give him some credit.
He did manage to infultrated the woodelves, get there artifact and bring it back single handedly.
And he took out quite a few guards during that mission to.
He is also the only survivor from the raid quite awhile back. Stokla and Brix got killed, the former because she didn’t know when the retreat and the latter because he tried showboating. Though, given that Rana was Yalaria’s mate…that could complicate how he views Auraugu.
Yeah. He’s the adrenal glands. Which, due to the fact that they sit right on top of the kidneys, will make it so easy for him to piss the rest of them off.
He’s gotta be Ferris’ coworker. The one that looks like he just drank the entire inventory of a Starbucks.
not quite, the “H” is the trolls. you can see it on harkey’s belt buckle and on penk’s armor.
chapter-28-page-23/
i suspect the fist symbolizes that the world’s rebellion is united under harkey’s leadership. the fist looks a lot like harkey’s gauntlet.
the upside-down omega does look like it would represent the goblins more so than the svasi; i dont think the svasi are on the banner.
(sorry if multi post, but it isnt showing up… trying this time with out the link)
BEST CHAMPION RIGHT HERE! The luchador mask is great. By the dead, he might just be equalling Nicomo Cosca for most glorious bastard ever. Well, nearly.
What do you wanna bet that the real champion is going to shove him out of the way in the next page?
Also, these guys aren’t impressed with your show Aur, try tap dancing next!
I am rather curious as to the reasoning behind choosing this guy for champion status… All the other choices seem to have been fairly sound so far. Maybe he’s just there as bait and to keep Madame Arfa happy? Or just comic relief… I like him.
It’s a really good bet Harky was talking about him when he said that there was another champion who’d come if asked. Harky already saw him as a champion. Going by that one Gnoll Shaman who appeared to acknowledge this, it’s not just a self-given title. Well, looking at this guy, it probably was, but it’s not one confined to his own worldview. He stepped up, and his people seem to find him an acceptable representation. And why not? In the two major skirmishes he’s been in so far, he succeeded in his goals (summoning the giant sea monster, stealing the branch) and has survived contact with the enemy champions.
Yeah, he’s full of himself, but in the way that makes him always push to be the model of perfection he views himself as. But unlike best, who self centers it (i’m the greatest, who cares about the rest of you), he’s the generous sort. (I’m the greatest, and with me around, you can be the greatest you, cause what else could people become with such inspiration in their midst!).
He’s not really the anti-best as he fits the anti-bandit roll better, but it is another way the a role in this group dynamic could contrast that of the Guildies.
The problem with the champion thing is that there is now an adventurer’s guild, these guys aren’t just going to be fighting one counterpart, they will be facing off with a slew of adventurers led by another crew, who have had a lot of practice fighting moderately powerful warriors.
These champions won’t just have to be the best of the best, they’ll have to be very effective at crowd control as well… Unless they happen to have a diplomatic mission (hahaha)
Adventurer’s are split up though. Many of them are going to be scattered, or doing the jobs the military can’t at home, like the pitch to the heads went. So it’s likely that the first and any future group vs group fights will likely be even numbers.
My question is… do other people hear his theme music when he makes one of these entrances? Or does he have to hum it himself? You know he’s already got it composed in his head either way.
Discussion (102) ¬
Hyes.
WOW! I mean… WHAT!?!?! WHAT THE… MY GOD! WHAT A TWIST! Man that’s the last guy I was expecting to walk in.
Nobody could’ve seen this one coming!
NOBODY EXPECTS THE CHAMPION OF THE FUZZY PEOPLES!
HNO! D:<
Or the Scooby Doo to their Mystery Inc.
More like Scrappy.
Nah. This guy’s actually kinda funny.
They don’t think the same judging by their expressions.
Hatred of Scrappy is largely on the side of the audience, which is obviously not the case for Auraugu.
…so was Scrappy
How dare you.
Man I love Auruagu! He’s the funniest RP style player in the comic! Reminds me of my everquest days when I’d never break character for hours n hours on end. Hyes!
Scrappy Doo was the only decent character in that entire show, eternally denied the fulfillment of his potential.

I think he’s the colon.
But when he wants to, he can hit like a truck!
Would that make him the semi-colon?
And he can kick like a mule, it’s a real mean team.
But we can love…
He may not be the bollocks of the group, but he certainly has the testostorone-aggressiveness for it…
Enter the face.
It would have gone better with some theme music to accompany him.
Or worse. I expect if he had the Mucha Lucha theme song in the background, they four them them might go into fits of hysterical laughter, catatonia and/or rage.
More like:
Well now we know who the body model for Auggie was…
You mean it wasn’t Chyna? o_O
Also, he is the anti-Frig.
Ya beat me to it LOL. I was thinking the exact same thing :-D
Are you implying that when you hear someone singing their own praises, the hero who you immediately think of is… not Payet Best?
I actually see him as more of an anti-Bandit. He’s a fast, unarmored fighter who’s also pretty sneaky (stealing the stick, ambushing Syr’nj.) He’s arguably the most personable of the group, poor first impression notwithstanding. But where Bandit is cocky in a quiet, sly way, Auraugu shouts his greatness everywhere he goes.

You bet your ass he is.
In this case, his ever-improving majesty appears to be extra arm wrappings.
Oh, and pants!
Of course…One simply CAN’T be a real hero without pants. A hero is no hero at all when the villains keep laughing at you.
Where’s Hammerhead’s lower jaw? I know it’s kind of Simpsons-esque, but there should be something.
His teeth are protruding over his lower jaw. He has an overbite. Don’t make fun of it, unless you want him to show you why it includes the word “Bite”.
He got hungry and ate it.
Hyeeesss!
Seconded. Let’s form an Auraugo fanclub. Hyes.
Looks like Rana just laid an egg.
The name! Is Auraugu!
It rhymes! With “I’ll-trounce-you*!”
And the Gaaastonian Peacemakers
Are! Now! Screwwwwwed!
*Yes, a pale attempt at parodying DBZ Abridged requires some creative syllabic structure.
If Penk’s personality is dramatically altered by becoming an avatar he might have a penchant for having his teammates strike elaborate poses as part of the Penk Force.
I think Auraugu is supposed to be the Funny Bone of the Champions…This is going to be humerous.
is…. is that a raised eyebrow on hammerhead?
Yes. Yes it is. I am also duly impressed.
I say we eat him. -Hammerhead
Well he could be the nose….or the laugh of the team..
Maybe he’s the humor of the team…that could work right?
But all jokes aside we do need to give him some credit.
He did manage to infultrated the woodelves, get there artifact and bring it back single handedly.
And he took out quite a few guards during that mission to.
He is also the only survivor from the raid quite awhile back. Stokla and Brix got killed, the former because she didn’t know when the retreat and the latter because he tried showboating. Though, given that Rana was Yalaria’s mate…that could complicate how he views Auraugu.
I would possibly say the blood, what keeps the team fired up and raring to go, but maybe the whole body part metaphor is going a bit too far.
He’s the manly pecs of the team.
Rana’s face in panel 4 cracks me up.
Rana agrees.
Considering, as someone else said, Auraugu left Rana’s mate behind, we may finally hear him speak, and less than charitably, of good ol’ Auraugu.
Oh right, forgot about that. Though, Rana’s probably blaming the Gastonians way more than Auraugu, anyway.
I don’t think he’s serious: he didn’t say “fo realsies.”
Clearly he is not a body-part per se. He is THE ADRENALIN of the team.
Also hurray.finally the most important member has Arrived.Go Auraugu Go.*no.1 of the Auraugu Fan-club.*
Yeah. He’s the adrenal glands. Which, due to the fact that they sit right on top of the kidneys, will make it so easy for him to piss the rest of them off.
He’s gotta be Ferris’ coworker. The one that looks like he just drank the entire inventory of a Starbucks.
Just finally got the iconography I think, going clockwise
Fist-Trolls, Wings-Avians, Footpad-Gnolls, H-ish symbol-Dwarves, Face Silhouette-Goblins, Jaws-Landsharks
not quite, the “H” is the trolls. you can see it on harkey’s belt buckle and on penk’s armor.
chapter-28-page-23/
i suspect the fist symbolizes that the world’s rebellion is united under harkey’s leadership. the fist looks a lot like harkey’s gauntlet.

(sorry if multi post, but it isnt showing up… trying this time with out the link)
Maybe Auraugu will take that as compliment?
He seems like the kind of guy who takes everything as a compliment.
Ain’t nobody gonna break his stride.
BEST CHAMPION RIGHT HERE! The luchador mask is great. By the dead, he might just be equalling Nicomo Cosca for most glorious bastard ever. Well, nearly.
He’s the ego.
And what a fine ego he is.
“Who invited this guy? Doesn’t he know it’s invitation only?”
Actually a good point since we didnt see madam Arfa reccomend him (not that he needs it after that operation he survived but still). Kinda odd.
looks like he’ll be learning humility
I love how they go from supprised, to wtf, to ugh, this guy? Seriously?
I think I know what I’m changing my name to.
Hairy Fuckin’ Bollocks? Excellent choice!
Hyes!
How do you pronounce this guy’s name? Because right now I’m just going with “AUUUHHH-WHoo-hoo-hoo!!”.
I pronounce it “Aur-ra-ugu” but I usually just go with “Aur” or “that crazy gnoll guy”
it sounds like “Au-rau-gu” in my head.
Is that anything like ‘Kajagoogoo’?
Personally calling him ‘Augie’ (sounds like ‘dawgie’)
What do you wanna bet that the real champion is going to shove him out of the way in the next page?
Also, these guys aren’t impressed with your show Aur, try tap dancing next!
Okay, so he’s the Champion of the Fuzzy Peoples.
What I want to know is, who’ll be the Champion of the Wuzzy Peoples?
A bear… But he wasn’t there when they tried to contact him.
He did not care to be contacted
So the most obvious choice was the one chosen?
I guess that’s one way to do it.
That, or this guy’s about to be beaten up to show how badass the real champion of the fuzzy people is…
No, he is the Champion of the Fuzzy People, he’s just not part of this Championship
I am rather curious as to the reasoning behind choosing this guy for champion status… All the other choices seem to have been fairly sound so far. Maybe he’s just there as bait and to keep Madame Arfa happy? Or just comic relief… I like him.
Cause he’s the champion of the fuzzy peoples.

well put goblaurence.
My question is… do other people hear his theme music when he makes one of these entrances? Or does he have to hum it himself? You know he’s already got it composed in his head either way.
Either way, Penk probably knows how to play his already, so he’s a step ahead of Aur
Actually, considering he’s known Penk for a while, he probably TAUGHT it to the kid.
Man, I love this guy!
Can’t not voice him like Macho Man…just can’t.
