| - "Triumph" is a common theme mentioned older King's Quest lore, especially in the manuals, which discussed the ultimate goal was to 'triumph' in one's quest. In KQ8, Connor is told that only with the mask returned will he triumph. Triumph is not a horse, but some kind of weird giant rodent or marsupial like creature, he is referred to as a 'gerbil' in one line. He looks a bit like a giant hamster, a capyabara or a wombat, with rabbit-like ears (a King's Questions answer states that wombats have never been in KQ, this might have changed, with the introduction of this strange creature). Fifi le Yipyap threatened to feed Valanice to a three hundred pound hamster, now this might actually be possible punishment, as Triumph is a flesh eater who loves giant steaks.
