I really, really like the sci-fi/fantasy combo presented within, nd am going to steal all sorts of ideas from it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Just wondering if anyone knows anything more about the 'goonda's' in the boo. Are they human or some sort of humanoid race, because they're never fully explained - described as impossibly thin, willowy, and when he hits one on the head he hits a bit made out of wood. I know their extra-arm prosthesis is a mechanical device, and it fits a human, so they must be fairly human-shaped, but what about the rest of them?They're just incredibly cool <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> so I was wondering if there's any basis in Indian myth for them or if the author invented the entire conecpt himself.</blockquote>
