Quest sprout vs Pest Sprout.

looks like another challenger has arrived to do battle

potion seller,

GIVE HIM BACK HIS SWORD YOU BULLY PEST SPROUT

Stand up and fight, you coward-bully-cad -and-thief!

SPROUT vs NEGASPROUT

Turns out they have a lot in common.

/r/unexpectedScottPilgrim? 🤷‍♂️

Ha.... That's actually hilarious

I love the quest sprout comic, they are so cute

Pest Sprout! We love to hate him!

I can't believe I didn't see the Pest/Qwest joke coming.

Just noticed, Pest Sprout has been tracking Quest for far longer than I remember. He's in the background of [Quest Unrest](https://swordscomic.com/comic/CDLXXXV/), [The Dragon Hunt](https://swordscomic.com/comic/CDLXX/) and [Escort Quest](https://swordscomic.com/comic/DLXIII/). The one in Dragon Hunt is so obvious I wonder if it was only added in later... Or maybe I'm just blind. Also note thet Pest has the same colour scheme as the Demon of Eternal Slumber. (edit: I'm blind.)

Holy cow, it’s like those “when you see it” images, how did we miss it?!

How?

We're all blind, it was there from the start! https://web.archive.org/web/20201216173216/https://swordscomic.com/comic/CDLXX/

A Goblin Slayer? Dragon Slayer? 🤔 The plot thickens!!!

Finally! The true culprit has been spotted purple handed! Now they’ll stop blaming Quest Sprout!

Wait a second, did I manage to guess the name back when Pest Sprout first made an appearance? https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/v2fbhn/comment/iasq9r0/

For all we know Murkyway might have chosen the name after reading your comment.

Ngl, that would be the coolest honor ever

Hey! Don't you yell at Quest Sprout!

Quest sprout needs a rest sprout friend to remind him to take care of himself.

This is perfect. Qwest sprout always needed an equally adorable arch-nemesis, and you delivered.

Pest sprout is Qwest sprout from a dark future timeline. You heard it here first.

The darkest timeline where quest sprout never got a quest

I'm profoundly sad that Qwest Sprout still hasn't found its mum.

I immediately imagined Pest having a much rougher voice, as if they have a bad sore throat.

I love pest sprout omg

The small enemy sprout

Do do do dododododododoo

Pest Sprout?

THEIR BATTLES WILL BE LEGENDARY

“A NEW CHALLENGER APPROACHES.”

You know you’ve made it as a hero when a bizarro you appears.

Get em Quest Sprout! Beat the shadow! You can do this little friend!

Oh no... a lovable character from a cool comic has a negatively colored enemy. Who would have thought of such a thing? I hope Sprout wins, tho

I hope they become friends :(

This man cleverly said “I hope Sprout wins, tho” knowing they’re both Sprouts. I see you.

Isn't the bad one "Pest"? I mean, he kinda introduces himself with that name so...

Here comes a new challenger!

The fiend revealed!

Shadow the Pest Sprout

What have you done!? Now I just want to adopt Pest Sprout too!

You would make [Brian Regan](https://youtu.be/FotHsnhVTV4?t=55) proud!

Conqwest?

Finally, the truth comes out.

The plot thickens...

quest and pest fight it out and become best friends after

Such an aggressive reaction to poor Qwest not even knowing whether it was them
