For those of us that read "The Tower of the Elephant," we know that Conan didn't have to fight Yag-kosha in the end. None-the-less, I always had a vision in my mind of "what if." What a creature Yag-kosha would have been in his prime or what if not all of his kind were as pacifistic as he was or magic weilders for that matter. Just a thought on my part.
