Huh, well it does confirm that psionics exist in the oots world at least.
That strip also proves incarnum is also in existence, with at least 1 18th level user in the world, although it might be even more obscure than psionics.

That and when Roy met his mom in Heaven, part of her proving that she was really his mom was to remind him of how she read to him "The little Psion that could" every night. . . "I think I can, I think I can. . ."
 

On the note of the high AC versus DR, ethereal etc. You may note that when Belkar attacked him it said stab, stab, stab, stab, stab . . . for all his attacks. You may have noticed that attacks that miss are usually indicated as such in OotS. (by a 'swish' or something, its a poor example but see Roys 'swish' in the first battle with miko here. Hits are indiacated by words like slash, stab, wunk etc.)

This means that the attacks connected but caused no damage, ie 0 for 5. This means high DR. It probably me means the MitD also has a relatively low AC.

ANother example that is full of misses is here . I still absolutely love belkars line of "Wow, its almost like I'm a seasoned warrior and your both glorified pick-pockets."
 


My present guess is one of the supposedly deceased (Greek) gods, or perhaps more likely, some progeny thereof. (The latter overlaps with the Abomination theory.) If the former, it somehow got lobotomized when its colleagues were getting killed.
 



At this point, Rich's "you should be able to guess what it is" is about as valid as Robert Jordan's (RIP) "it's obvious who killed Asmodean."

BTW, I think MitD's "wishful thinking" is a red herring. I'm willing to bet that the two were somehow pulled by Durkon or V's master (V's mate probably went to his master to inform him of V's soul sale and he likely took interest).

How did Kyrie--an apprentice Baker--get to Vaarsuvius' master's domain in the 20 or so minutes since V left?

Hmm, i would not risk a guess on MitD's AC, it does not seem to be actively trying to defend itself so could well be flat footed.
With that in mind i would also put my money on high DR.

So from the info supplied i would either go for a pseudonatual solar or my first choice...
An abomination between the Snarl(or some other entity) and a Barghest.
