mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Superman

Is the source of the myth Scandinavian?

Boolbar

It's a mythtery.

(Superman) From Scandinavian myth? NO

Knobbly

Are we in the world of Tolkien?

Boolbar

(Knobbly) Tolkien related? NO

blamelewis

Is the original origin piece of fiction something that was originally published in English?

Boolbar

(blamelewis) Origin fiction in English? YES

Bismarck

Belonging to a class of mythical creatures, the specific animal was originally from an English piece of fiction from over twenty years ago (but possibly re-used since). Not a heraldic animal, nor a monster, not from Tolkien, not Scandinavian.

Bismarck

Is the animal a canine?

Bismarck

Was a song written about it?

Boolbar

Who let the dogs out?

Note : English language but not necessarily English. And as I put it "belongs to a group that is based on creatures of myth" but that won't help much.
(Bismarck) Doggy? NO
(Bismarck) A song? YES (more of a by-product) and at least one other obscure and dreadful song that I know of.

Bismarck

Is the animal bit human?

Reckon the animal bit us the wrong track. There's bet free that aren't heraldic, or monstrous.
