Young, late teens maybe, but tough to say in a universe where Agatha turned 18 twenty years ago and hasn't seen her 19th birthday yet (I think).  Gil and Tarvek are still in their early to mid-20s.

So, it’s not only us who are hazy on the specifics about the Polar Lords. Interesting!

I thought at first it said "Why do you stoop?" which added a note of further interesting oddity to the situation as it wasn't clear to me who or what was stooping and it might have indicated something about the thought processes of whoever was saying it; but it appears to instead be a drawn-out "Why do you stop?"

Same!  It's sort of the same as emphasising 'cute' as 'cuteeee' But our big ugly there can say whatever they want, i think the troops know the command voice.

Oh, oh boy oh boy oh boy the return of Agatha's darling little clanks!  What sparky devilry will they commit this time? Will they drill into the earth and bring (improbable) magma under our affronted noble?  Will they connect together into a perimeter to construct a heat field?

Looks like your second guess might be closer.

I was more than half expecting a Very Large Flamethrower. I should have known it wouldn't be; she's already built one of those, so it wouldn't have been interesting enough for her.

Somehow, I wasn't expecting brown fur.

(If that is fur.)

"A horror such as you"?

From Ixthalion's point of view? Or do they know something we don't know?

Or are they just going on the basis of previous Heterodynes?

They have seen A Lot of Heterodyne history and effect, and then along comes this newest whelp wielding deadly sparky tech.  A reasonable assumption, methinks.

I think an opportunity was wasted by not making its (his?) fur green.

KITTENS! Kitty-kitty-kitty-kitty-kitty-kitty-kitty-kittens!

Um, rather bitey kittens, aren't they? (yes, I know, kittens bite. But all of them biting at once?!) and eight? that's a large litter.

I wonder whether this is supposed to be canon?

 -- wait a minute, there are nine! I missed one.

Agatha suddenly has a lot of lieges, but maybe hereditary rights  don't exist in this instance.  (Bitey-heel kitten, that one's drawn from life I warrant.)

Tarvek understands that suggesting to Agatha that she needs to be rescued is a Bad Idea.

Oh yes, Agatha is steadily in the rescuer camp rather than a rescuee!

Did anybody else think for a moment that the weasel was skreeching because Tarvek somehow got wasped? It (she? him? other?) appears to just be really glad to see him.

And while I'm not surprised by wisps of hair, I think it's really odd that those otherwise fully-skeletonized remains still have eyeballs. I wonder whether that means something.
