In order for something to look like a Deibu it simply needs to have a gourd shape. As for sounding like a Deibu, all this one is doing is asking a question. I don't know- maybe in order to qualify for a Deibu it needs to ask questions in the most offensive, belligerent way possible?
"Tssk, stupid Mister, bring Deibu some sweet-sweets and lick Deibu's anyaru. But before that, tell Deibu if Mister is going to tell Deibu a bedtime stowie. Are you stupid? Wanna' die?"
Is that good enough for Deibu status or should I throw in a few more stupids and death threats?
I thought it was clear from the book, but it does seem that Deibu's trademark is extreme stupidity and selfishness. Not to extreme like that what was above, but that does seem to be the norm for them.
A creature that appears cute and adoptable when its enjoyment isn't at stake is a much greater threat to yukkuri-kind than one instantly identifiable as Deibu.
Because of this, Patchouli is writing a new book: Dribbling Dingobats, my Daughter is a Deibu - Distinguishing Deibus from Reimus.
I think he's after an edition of "Dribbling Dingobats, my Daughter is a Deibu - Distinguishing Deibus from Reimus". And if it's full of glorious examples and images, I wouldn't mind, either...
Welcome to the boards, by the way. Not often an artist crops up here.
