No, I am not.

EDIT - Since we're on a new page, reposting my clues -


Search for the words, before you proceed;
There is no warning, for you to heed.
See me for a moment or briefly;
It's up to you, how much you see.
You will see me elsewhere;
These are the clues I thought I'd share.
First you will see me before the sunlight;
But you will also see me before night;
But no matter how hard you've tried
You will never see me once you're inside.
When you first enter, darkness awaits;
Enter the word to seal your fate.
Prove to me you're worthy,
And it's me, you will see.

Are you ... um ... in the sea?

(I copied all your clues, plus my and NBS's questions and answers, into a notepad text file. That way, I never have to go hunting for them)

I am not.

(You should post'em)

Each time I think of something that fits, I find it's been excluded:

The unicorn? Not alive
Pandora's box? Not a inventory item

Are you found at the cemetery?

I am not.

Argh! Argh, argh, argh! *beats head against the wall*

OK, here is what we know:

What do we know so far?

- in KQ4
- not a place (e.g. cave/house/castle etc.)
- not alive
- not a zombie or ghost
- not an inventory item
- not in Lolotte's castle
- not in the mausoleum (or anywhere)
- not in the cemetery
- not in the sea

So ................. hmm. I thought it was the troll (darkness awaits), but he's alive so it can't be him.

Are you in Genesta's house?

I am not.

I can offer another clue?

Please do.

All right - Bonus CLUE!

I am easy to see when you play;
Because I am colored blue;
Against the nuetraul colors of grey;
It's something each of you knew.

Are you the Sierra logo?
"Search for the words..." In the manual as a copy protection check?
"You'll never se me once you're inside" as in playing the game
"Enter the word to seal your fate" Again, copy protection

And it is blue on gray

You are correct!

Search for the words, before you proceed;

Search for the word at the beginning (copy protection)

See me for a moment or briefly;
It's up to you, how much you see.

This is remarking how you can press ENTER to pass the screen with the logo.

You will see me elsewhere;
These are the clues I thought I'd share.

Indicating the Sierra logo is seen elsewhere as in other games.

First you will see me before the sunlight;
But you will also see me before night;

This was to indicate it's King's Quest 4. (Day/Night cycle)
But also - before both cycles - I was trying to say "it's before you see either - so it's before the game starts"

But no matter how hard you've tried
You will never see me once you're inside.

As noted, once inside the game, you won't see the beginning Sierra logo again.

When you first enter, darkness awaits;
Enter the word to seal your fate.
Prove to me you're worthy,
And it's me, you will see.

A cryptic clue that the copy right screen is all black (just a white box to enter the word)
Prove to me you're worthy is to indicate you have the word that the copy protection needs.

I am easy to see when you play;
Because I am colored blue;
Against the nuetraul colors of grey;
It's something each of you knew.

This was the one I knew would give it away; the colors.
And the "something each of you knew" as in you've all seen the Sierra logo before (in KQ4 or elsewhere) at the start of a game.

Argh, argh, argh. *head-desk*

Your turn, NBS!

I don't belong here (this seems to be a theme with me )
At least I'm not here for long
Did I deserve this?

Are you a Moose Head?

Are you the Black Bird?
