What is a Dooley
-
I know strictly speaking is wasn't a Frightknight because they were midnless mechanical things where as the Bohemath was probably an Ogre is a suit of armour. I only called it a frightknight because Gundrada did.
No one has been able to tell me what a Dooley is.

Calling nanes are real names. "Elves wouldn't dream of giving their names away." this is becuae they could get summonned and Pickle didn't like dungeoneres giving away their real names.
Magi could because they could deal with however called them, e.g Merris, Malifact and even Merlin.
Greystag probably couldn't have dealt with Lord Fear though.

It's a shame you never felt any inclination to speculate on this yourself.
This question did arouse my curiosity, and I have spent a lot of time puzzling over it. I've looked up every conceivable spelling of dooley in every dictionary I can lay my hands on, I've searched online... but I remain clueless. The best I can come with is to conjecture (unconvincingly) that perhaps Dooley was an in-joke: the surname of someone known to the Knightmare production crew.

i thought a dooley, is something that doesnt belong somewhere. everytime is has been used,it has been used in the negative. i.e "and you brought a dooley with you." The elf kingdom was sacred to elves. which is why Velda gets a little stroppy to another team for entering it!

In the first qhest of series 3 Velda accused the dungeonere of bring a dooley with them, this rurned out to be Tregurd. Also when Team 5 called her to deal with a Frightknight she called it a dooley.
What could dooley mean?
I think this may be from the Irish name Dubhlaoich (pronounced Dooley), meaning "dark warrior". Seems a fitting description for both Treguard and the Behemoth.

That works for me. Thank you. How about a Lexicon entry to seal your victory over this mystery?
