BUHL-ee-WUG, there is even a song.

I just realized that by pronouncing it the second way I have unequaled the score for my way of speaking... scary, specially with so many votes... I would say either way is right. I pronounce that way because it is more natural in my mother tongue.

I thought they were original to Dwellers of the Forbidden City?

Sorta. I1 (Dwellers) came out in print in 1981, but was originally run as a Tournament module at Origins 1980. The Fiend Folio debuted at the 1981 Games Fair convention (the book was originally slated for release in late 1979, but was delayed).

I believe the great Dungeon Master said it best when he said, "Dear Me - Bullywugs!" And disappeared to a nearby tree branch.

And yes, I have that cartoon on tape.

When you say the great DM, do you mean EGG?

How did he pronounce it?

I hope this will solve the matter because poll is neck-to-neck at the moment!

He means the DM from the D&D cartoon...

He means the DM from the D&D cartoon...

I see, and how did he pronounce it?

I think if we get his pronounciation we might get pretty close to the truth coz EGG co-produced the D&D cartoon.

You mean some people say "Booley-wug"

If you use "oooh", then why not go all the way, just call it a "Booley-woog"

*scratches head*

DM: "As the party enters the dungeon, you see an evil booley-woog emerging from a side corridor, followed by a boogbear, a roost monster, a moomy, and a sookyouboose demon."
