* [[The Grim Reaper]]: Locaha. And he's not as nice as Pratchett's other [[Discworld|Grim Reaper]].

** He acts cruelly uncaring, though some or even all of this might be [[Stealth Mentor|a ploy to make Mau figure things out himself]]. He's also more eager to claim lives than the [[Discworld]] Grim Reaper. However, the [[Just-So Story]] that opens the book depicts his creation as a necessity to avoid overpopulation and shows him taking a stand against Imo when Imo wants to wipe out the already-populated world and start over.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Mau goes through a pretty extreme version of this when he's sinking the bodies of his tribe in the ocean. Basically, his body's moving, but his mind isn't there any more. He doesn't even notice Daphne standing directly in front of him. He only wakes up just before drowning himself.

** Daphne gets a beneficial one via the Grandmothers to help her birth a baby.
