My treasure
My treasure
@davidrevoy FYI on the alt-text (not intended as criticism): that particular type of monster is generally known in English as a "Mimic" given that they 'mimic' treasure chests. And in panel two she throws a bone 'at' the mimic, not 'to' it ('to' implies she's intending for the mimic to catch it, while 'at' implies she wants to hit it with the bone).
For some reason this reminds me of "The Luggage" from Discworld... (basically a mimic that acts like a very overprotective dog, and also happens to function like a self-propelled larger-on-the-inside luggage trunk)
@davidrevoy @becomethewaifu I have a hard time believing that any reasonable person would think the name "mimic" is copyrightable. Might not even be trademarkable.
Unfortunately corporate legal teams in general, and WoTC's in particular, aren't known for being reasonable. You probably made the right call.
@becomethewaifu True! Unfortunately, lawyers do a lot of things that risk sanctions, if they think they can get away with it. (See: Most of US politics the past few years, and anyone representing a billionare.)
Besides, two *competing* companies own (or owned) the name of an entire genre of comics. US trademark law is bonkers. Or at least what does and doesn't get enforced, even where the actual law itself makes some degree of sense.
