|---|---|---|
| Demon name "Astfgl" | Discworld | A demon Lord, king of Hell, and his modern, go-ahead attitude is driving the other demons to distraction. Discworld |
| Goddess name "Astoria" | Ephebian | Goddess of love, held in extremely low regard by the god Om and sister to the goddess Patina. Mentioned in Small Gods and Discworld Noir. |
"Auditors of Reality" | Discworld | Supernatural entities and celestial bureaucrats. They make sure that gravity works, file the appropriate paperwork for each chemical reaction, and so forth. Discworld |
| God name "Azrael" | Christian | Also known as the Great Attractor and the death of Universes, is apparently not a worshipped god on the Discworld, but he exists nonetheless, and is an entity of enormously unthinkable scope and size. |
"Binky" | Discworld | The horse ridden by death. Discworld |
| Goddess name "Errata" | Discworld | The Goddess of Misunderstandings. This little known goddess was the cause of the Tsortean wars; not, as most people believe, Elenor. Understandably not the most liked goddess, Errata wasn't invited to many weddings. Discworld |
| God name "Fedecks" | Discworld | Fedecks is the Messenger of the Gods, who appears as a radiant figure in a winged hat, winged sandals and a winged fig leaf. Discworld |
| God name "Flatulus" | Discworld | The Ephebian God of the winds. His name comes from "flatus", Latin for breaking wind. Discworld |
| God name "Foorgol" | Discworld | The Ephebian God of Avalanches. Discworld |
| Goddess name "Glipzo" | Discworld | The Howondalandish tribe of this Goddess believed that their ancestors resided in the moon. After a signal from their ancestors they were urged to kill anyone who didn't believe in Glipzo. Three years later the tribe was destroyed by a rock falling out of the sky, as a result of a star exploding a billion years before. Discworld |
| God name "God of Evolution" | Discworld | Is found 'sculpting' animals and since he hasn't figured out reproduction yet, he makes every animal unique. Although no-one believes in the God of Evolution, he survives thanks to his own strong belief. He does not believe in himself, because he is an atheist, but he believes in what he does. Discworld |
| God name "Herne the Hunted" | Discworld | The God of Hunted animals. Herne appears as a small figure with floppy rabbit ears, small horns and a good turn of speed. He has the unfortunate job of being the constantly terrified and apprehensive god of all small furry creatures whose destiny it is to end their lives as a brief, crunchy squeak; it has been said that he arose from the feelings of prey animals during the hunt, whereas other gods of the hunt arose from the påśśions of the hunters. Discworld |
| God name "Hogfather" | Europian | The Discworld's version of Father Christmas or Santa Claus. He wears a red, fur-lined cloak, and rides a sleigh pulled by four wild boars, Gouger, Rooter, Tusker and Snouter. In earlier times he gave households pork products, and naughty children a bag of bloody bones. Earlier than that, he was a Winter god of the death-and-renewal kind. The modern version is a jolly toymaker, with vestiges of the earlier myths (such as his Castle of Bones, a vast palace of ice which has nothing notably bony about it, except for the suggestion of a protruding femur or scapula here and there) still clinging to him. |
| God name "Hoki the Jokester" | Discworld | A nature god usually found haunting the deep woods of the Ramtops, in which he manifests himself as an oak tree or a flute playing half-man, half-goat figure. Thought of by many gods and people alike as a bloody nuisance and a bad practical joker, he was eventually banished from Dunmanifestin for pulling the old exploding mistletoe joke on Blind Io. Discworld |
| Goddess name "Hyperopia" | Discworld | The Goddess of Shoes. She has a small following that gathers in the Temple of Small Gods and worships the Sacred Lace of Hyperopia. Named after the technical term for long-sightedness, and it is possible that she is inspired by the Greek goddess Nike, and the shoes named after her. Discworld |
"Ice Giants" | Discworld | Similar to the Jotuns of Norse mythology, the Ice Giants are apparently necessary for the Apocralypse. When this came close to occurring during the events of Sourcery, the Ice Giants, described as huge beings made of ice with tiny, coal-like eyes and riding tame glaciers, hurtled down towards the civilised world. They spoke with a pronounced Nordic accent. Discworld |
| Goddess name "Ikebana" | Discworld | The Goddess of Topiary, worshipped by the Militant Servitors of Ikebana. She is named after the Japanese art of formal flower arranging. Discworld |
| Demon name "Imps" | Discworld | Imps are tiny demons that perform minor tasks rapidly. A number of Discworld labour-saving devices exist which function by trapping small imps. The most notable is the iconograph, but others include watches, food processors, razors and personal organisers. The imps in these devices seem not to mind their jobs, although they get sarcastic if overworked or asked to do things outside their purview. Discworld |
