* TheDungAges: The immortal Hob thinks the ren faire is too clean and claims that people of the time regularly waded through animal shit, were covered in pests, and had all sorts of skin diseases. He is however grossed out by the toilets.
* {{Golem}}: The Endless create a humanoid being out of mud to act as emissary at the Necropolis. Delirium names him Eblis O'Shaughnessy.
