Wizard 101/Fridge

Throughout the game, everything you fight against are fairies, ghosts, skeletons, demons, talking fish, golems, walking trees, literal cat burglars, and a massive number of other creatures as you get closer to Malistaire. When he's defeated, his ghost finally reconciles with his dead wife and leaves for the afterlife. He was quite alive before you got your hands on him.
- Similarly to Malistaire, Krokhotep is alive and well before you fight him, but is a ghost when you meet him again later in the Tomb of Storms. In this case, thankfully, defeat helps bring him to his senses and he becomes your ally in the fight to recover the Krokonomicon.
- In Krokotopia, the only female Krok is Krokopatra, and there are no female Manders. So where did they all come from again?
  - Actually, a few of the Krok guards in Krokopatra's dungeon are wearing feminine-like outfits.
  - Also, neither crocodiles nor salamanders in real life have distinguishing gender characteristics externally (you have to check internally to know) so it's possible they differentiate less overall or we did meet a lot of females, but didn't know. After all, neither species has mammary glands, so some Krok guards/Mander slaves without shirts could have been female without alerting censors.
