Are we still calling this flavour of DnD "Thuntonian", what with Elli changing her name? I assumed that's what Kirktopode was referencing.

This is the gargoyle. Elli changed the name and the design, big deal.

When they manage to get it out of Kore's lump perhaps it will have a design more similar to Elli's sketch, remember that we are not seing the true face of the creature, but the distorted face melted with Kore's skin.

Ears was always gay (she tweeted about it years before it came up in the comic), and the point of him being "outed" is that it's completely unimportant. Irrelevant to the story. And of no consequence to the GAP. It's just part of who he is, and his friends accept that without hesitation. His liking hair (which goblins generally don't have and aren't attracted to), now that, they'll tease him about.

As for our new friend... I'm guessing it's a gargoyle.

Unfortunately, the whole hair thing only highlighted that Fumbles is a racist. The GAP's village might not have goblins with hair, but we know from Dies Horribly's story that there are goblin ethnicities for whom it is perfectly natural to grow hair (see Saves-A-Fox, the Viper Clan and several of their slaves). Which makes hair in goblins a phenotypical trait, similar to, say, the epicanthic fold or skin colors in humans, just one that isn't usually expressed in Fumbles' phenotype. Treating someone as abnormal or inferior due to a differing phenotype is the textbook definition of racism and that's exactly what Fumbles is doing in that scene.
If you doubt this, go into that scene, replace every instance of "hair" with "black skin" and see if you're still laughing.
