I love that the playerbase collectively decided on code for things. The butterflies are all Birds. The candletree ghosts are all Old Codger. And of course, we cant forget the ever-elusive Fort, Night.

Don't forget we must encourage skeletons too

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

It's just a dog. Plain and simple. This is just objective reality

[@Zigthrill]

All turtles are dogs except for the Turtle Pope.

Just created a new old codger, what should I name him?

[@SanOcelotl]

Elden Ring is so popular that someone though about explaining this

[@darkvidou4633]

dude talked of many things but not answer the title

[@pavelzabak5276]

And I thought it was Borat reference

[@JReybabay]

So why are they called dogs? You didn’t answer the question

[@AndroidNoir-L06k]

Or maybe its a joke from the show maincharacter borat.
