** It's been established that dwarves have a bit of a taboo against thinking about gods and the metaphysical. And trolls (at least above tree level) are, not to put too fine a point on it, not too bright. That would predispose both species against inventing an anthropomorphic personification of death.
*** Actually, it's trolls BELOW tree level, where it's warm, that are not bright. Above the treeline I the snow, their brains work much better

* Why can Doreen Winkings resist the song of the Mall? I get that it only works on humans, and things like werewolves and vampires and zombies are just non-human enough not to count - but Doreen is explicitly ONLY a vampire by marriage. On a biological level she is 100% human, and should have been affected like everyone else.

*** Trolls don't actually die of natural causes, they simply become more and more stone-like until they simply stop moving, becoming a living rock formation, and there are very few ways to actually kill a troll, there probably isn't really enough Trolls who believe in the concept of dying to really form a sub-manifestation of Death during the events of the book.

** Azrael is just too big a concept for a mere Demon King to converse with, and the death of the universe is also the death of everything ''in'' the universe. Imagine if just the Discworld was destroyed, and we were seeing it from the perspective of [[Literature/TheAmazingMauriceAndHisEducatedRodents The Big Rat That Lives Underground]]. He'd meet the Death of Rats, dealing with the massive influx of every rodent on the Disc, but that doesn't mean Death isn't there as well.

* Azrael is the Death of Universes. That's cool and all...only two books previously and only a year ago in publication time, we actually say the death of the universe, in Eric. And Azrael was nowhere to be seen. It's just the regular old Death whose there...Unless the Death that the Demon King speaks to is, in fact, Azrael, but then it's be a bit strange for Rincewind to be so infamous that Azrael reacts with such intensity to his presence. So apart from the obvious "Pratchett hadn't conceived the idea yet", what reason is there for Azrael not showing up at the death of the actual universe?
