20 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Sebastian is half-human (his father's side) and half-elf (his mother's side). As a result, he has PointedEars, causing most people to mistake him for an elf, and him having to awkwardly explain that he's only half-elf. |

29 | ** Later on, they encounter giant, dinosaur-like creatures called yarkles. |
30 | * SavageWolves: The aforementioned lupers. |
31 | * ThreateningShark: The kelfers are this in spades, especially a particular kelfer who is big, white, covered in scars, and seems to be following the heroes... |
