[IronyOwl]

Is it the Skeleton General?

Not familiar with him.

[Criptfeind]

I am not hearing a no...

I WIN!

Anyway, than I have no idea who it may be.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

Famous thanks to cinema and appeared in a novel? Not Satan, nor Death, but another famous man of wealth and taste:

Dracula.

EDIT: Shit, never mind. Dracula's all over the Castlevania games.

also, dracula has been to space

perhaps murnau's nosferatu? tough he didn't properly appeared in any novel, unless you count stokers dracula itself

[IronyOwl]

Okay, this is my fault. I thought I was picking an easy character, and I'm sure almost everyone here is at least aware of said character.

The trouble is, one of the questions is a riddle. It's technically true, but it's also arguably false, and more importantly not what people first think of. The legs are a lie.

Interestingly, and I suspect this is usually true, there's some hints in the places me and Akinator disagreed.

[Josephus]

PROFESSOR X.

Wait

EVIL PROFESSOR X.

Wait

EVIL PROFESSOR X.

Does your character stand on two legs?   Yes   Yes (True, if you count his mechanical leg thingies)
Is your character famous thanks to cinema?   Yes   Yes (False, Xavier is famous before movie)
Is your character gigantic?   No   ? (Onslaught is large in his own form)
Does your character appear in a well-known or prestigious novel?   Yes   Yes (False, comic is not a novel)

Still stumped.

[Giant Snowman]

Sauron?

[IronyOwl]

Sauron?

Correct!

And therein lies the trick. Akinator and I thought of "original" two-legged Sauron walking around prior to his little accident; most people (I would now assume) probably think of just the floating eye.

[Josephus]

BUT

SAURON HAD HAIR.

And in battle he was the same size as Morgoth, who was Hueg.

[Criptfeind]

Also Sauron was the skeleton generals alter ego.

[IronyOwl]

BUT

SAURON HAD HAIR.

This I did not know. Nor did Akinator, apparently.

And in battle he was the same size as Morgoth, who was Hueg.

I wondered about his size, but I went off the movie version where he was big but not godzilla big.

Also Sauron was the skeleton generals alter ego.

I heard he was sometimes referred to as "The Necromancer" in the books, so I wondered if there was some connection. A quick search didn't reveal anything though.

Here's to hoping Giant Snowman will pick someone less... controversial?

[Criptfeind]

Mine was a joke by the way. He has nothing at all to do with the skeleton general.

Then unless he's an RO monster, I still have no idea who he is.

[Criptfeind]

What the heck is RO?

[IronyOwl]

Excellent. My attempts to pick a well-known character have turned into a cunning game of oneupsmanship for obscure lingo.
