D&D Context
- This is the first time Durkon is seen casting Thor's Might, a fictional game feature. The spell is most likely the same as (or a variation of) Righteous Might.
- Characters must make a Saving Throw against effects to prevent them. Ghast's paralyzation is usually a Fortitude Saving Throw, not a Will Saving Throw though.
Trivia
- The title is a reference to Apache Chief, a character in the cartoon Super Friends, who would shout "Inukchuk!" to grow to enormous size.
