Three Clues - Who Am I?

[Tawmis]

Are you an inanimate object (e.g. an inventory object, a piece of background scenery, etc.)?

Yes

Are you in a King's Quest game that has an odd number (I, III, V)... because that will tell me if I am on the right track.

No (Remember: Earth)

Oh! Damn it. That's right.

[Tawmis]

Are you in an EcoQuest game?

[Rath Darkblade]

I think I know what you are...

Give me a chance to try and figure it out, too!

Are you an inventory object?

[Tawmis]

I think I know what you are...

Give me a chance to try and figure it out, too!

I was on the wrong track - forgot Earth was one of the "Yes" answers.

I was thinking it was the Dragon from KQ1...

Near others like me <-- Dragon in the clouds from KQ3
Only one of us you need <-- Only need to defeat the one in KQ1 (for KQ1 since ye can't get to the one in KQ3 until KQ3)
Short with bad breath <-- size wise, the dragon in KQ1 is quite small, and the bad breath could reference the fire breath

But - again, I was off track because of the "Earth" part.

Are you in an EcoQuest game?

No

Are you an inventory object?

No

[Rath Darkblade]

Are you a piece of background scenery?

[notbobsmith]

Are you a piece of background scenery?

No

[Rath Darkblade]

Hold on. I asked "Are you an inanimate object (e.g. an inventory object, a piece of background scenery, etc.)?" and you said "yes".

But you are not an inventory item, or a piece of background scenery ... or male, or female. So what are you?

Does the main character interact with you?

[Tawmis]

So - not a Conquest game and not an EcoQuest game...

But a Quest game that takes place on Earth...

Are you in a Police Quest game?

[notbobsmith]

Does the main character interact with you?

Yes

Are you in a Police Quest game?

Yes

[Tawmis]

Are ye in a Jim Walls PQ game? (This would help rule out PQIV, rather than asking odd or even)

[Rath Darkblade]

It'd also rule out the SWAT games.

Are you in an odd-numbered PQ game? (That would rule out PQ2 if yes, and confirm PQ2 if no)

[Tawmis]

It'd also rule out the SWAT games.

I wouldn't call those Police Quest games; I think they simply went by SWAT when it changed.
And we know it's a game with "Quest" in the title.

So I'd assume SWAT would be ruled out.

I'm actually not sure how to consider the SWAT series. (For the record it's not in a SWAT game since it is in a Jim Walls game) Both SWAT 1 and SWAT 2 still have "Police Quest" in the title. The name is dropped with SWAT 3.

[Tawmis]

Are you in a Police Quest game higher than 3? (There, that will either rule out the SWAT games or not)
