Pantheon / Craft
aka: Craft Lesser Gods

Craft, Decoration, and Workmanship

The Pantheon as a whole has been an ever-changing world that expands as more entities find their way in. The House of Craft is responsible for many of the architectural designs, paintings, and even some items that are prevalent in this extravagant world ever since its inception. While many parts of the Pantheon have different materials available needed to make something, this House contains all known materials readily available to use and dedicated sections to put those items to use in creating something.

While different Houses in the Pantheon are made with a variety of material, this House is very open about it to the point where there are sections of this House made entirely out of one material such as marble, steel, and LEGO to name a few (though there is a warning about being careful to not get feet injured when navigating LEGO-centric areas). These specialized sections are also where visitors can learn about the history and use of these materials before giving them a brief demonstration on how to make the most of these items. There are also dedicated classes to learn about craftwork held on a regular basis to offer more insight on these subjects.

In addition to the distinct visuals of the material present, there are sections of the House that have much more wild designs both on the inside and outside. Given how there are buildings that are bigger on the inside than they are on the outside, it’s expected that such architecture exists here, mostly to show the eccentricities of different buildings. There are buildings inside the House that are very strange such as staircases that lead to odd locations and rooms that seem to move at random. Compared to most other strange locations in the Pantheon, getting lost in these areas isn’t as hard thanks to convenient signs pointing visitors the direction of where the main hub for Craft is relative to their current location.

Visitors to this place are more than welcome to test their artistic merits through the use of instructors both from this House and elsewhere. The instructors are meant to be approachable when it comes to helping others understand the basics of painting, architecture and other related subjects and while some can be very demanding when it comes to wanting high-quality work, at the end of the day those instructors will have plenty of respect for those that can achieve great artistic feats. There are some who are lacking in talent that have made repeat visits to this House and while many have improved, others are stubbornly convinced that they themselves are artistic geniuses despite all evidence saying otherwise. While bad art does have a place there, it’s more to show what not to do, though different individuals have looked at the merits of such flawed pieces and learned to improve on them.

    Howl and Sophie Hatter 
Howl and Sophie Hatter, Divine Couple of the Famous Moving Castle (Howl: Howl Jenkins Pendragon, Wizard Howl, Wizard Pendragon, Jenkins the Sorcerer)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/howlandsophie.jpg
Howl and Sophie
  • Lesser God (Howl), Quasideity (actually a Lesser Goddess due to her hidden witch powers) (Sophie)
  • Symbol: The eponymous Moving Castle
  • Theme Song: Promise of the World
  • Alignments: Chaotic Good (Howl), Neutral Good (Sophie)
  • Portfolio:
  • Domains: Castles, Wizards, Witches, Magic, Love
  • Heralds: The inhabitants of the castlethem being... , Sophie's family namely... 
  • Allies:
  • Conflicting Opinion with: Issei Hyodo
  • Disappointed by: Merlin (for Howl)
  • Pities: The Monster House
  • Enemies: Baba Yaga, Eveline, Hagatha the Witch, The Wicked Witch of the West, Embryo, Shang Tsung, The Hag, Father (or more specifically his Grandfather)
  • Opposes: Barney Stinson, Macbeth and his wife (for Sophie)
  • Professional. Gentlemanly. Irresponsible. These words best describes the Wales wizard Howl. A proper wizard with a proper heart (for the girls at the very least), he is in truth a childish and foolish person, running away from all the responsibilities entrusted to him, and as a result was punished by Mrs. Pentstemmon by being banished to Ingary. This only fueled his freedom, as his success at both magic and girls grew in his new homeland, up to the point that he made a successful contract with a falling star, being the fire demon Calcifer, enhancing his magic further and building the Moving Castle he prides himself upon. This would all end in disaster after attempting to approach the Witch of the Waste, incurring her wrath. This lead him into being a pseudo-refugee, forced to work under different odd jobs (including one related to supporting a war by another kingdom) while being hunted down by said witch.
    • Some point whether by coincidence or by luck, he met Sophie Hatter, a woman who is told to be the heir of a hat shop and was living a dull life, during a stroll in the small town of Market Chipping. This meeting would land her into bad luck following the Witch of the Waste finding her connection to him after their first meeting and cursed her from her young looks into that of an extremely old lady. Realising this curse, she decided to take refuge in the Moving Castle, not only meeting Howl and his compatriots Calcifer and Michael Fisher but also fixing the castle, becoming its cleaner and eventually the key to freeing Calcifer and most especially giving Howl a new meaning to his life. That or the fact that Sophie might have been a much powerful witch that she never recognized this until its destruction.
  • One point during their return to the Castle, the structure itself managed to hit a bump, causing ruckus on the inside. It turns out that the castle hit the Pantheon's Main Gates and damaged one of its legs. Confused on where they landed if it was Wales or Ingary, the two stepped out and observed the place until security halted them. They would have been banished had Kiki not stepped in and allowed them to have a spot in the place, citing that they've finally arrived for years.
  • The Moving Castle was a byproduct of Howl and Calcifer's deal supposedly a humble abode to him and his inhabitants, if only others would agree. In reality, the "Castle" is a mess, large chunks of metal and wood are dangled or hanged on the exterior and on the interiors, its a dusty room from top to bottom. Thanks to Sophie being one of the inhabitants, the Castle was given a revamp and is much cleaner on the inside. Despite the Castle eventually getting destroyed due to Calcifer's release, the Court of the Gods decided to restore the Castle back to its original self, meaning Sophie will have to clean the entire place once more.
    • The Castle however has more interesting features outside of its exterior legs and movement. Since Calcifer is connected to Howl's heart, he controls the structure and by extension, the lifespan of the Castle. Howl's Magic can also create several doorways to certain places, often having 3, 2 of which are job-based and the other being the Castle's current direction. Due to the Castle's reconstruction, both features have been enabled, with Calcifer still in charge of the place, much to his dismay.
  • Their arrival has made several of the deities from the same studio that brought them back to life cheer as one of their own joined in. Sophie was at first overwhelmed at this but Howl calmed her down and was the one who was creating the cheering. On the other side the House of Magic and Sorcery have mixed reactions with Howl, stating that he should have taken his responsibilities rather than hauling himself as much as possible, annoying him further but Sophie agrees with their statement.
    • Whenever someone mentions their relationship, Sophie often blushes and ignores the topic, while Howl will pretty much talk smack about their progress. This is also responded with Sophie attempting to hit Howl in the back as she has not forgotten his other attempts to woo other women while he's still in love with her, reminding him of his habits.
  • The news of a wizard more eccentric than the Great and Powerful brought Oz to his curiosity as to who it was. Surprising him in everyway, Howl managed to be a wonderful one the moment they met. Being eccentric wizards also made their relationship more meaningful since both get to pride on their wizardry, though Sophie tends to see this as foolish sometimes and sees similarities with the two both prideful and great in their profession.
    • Though this did not work well the moment not one but two Wicked Witches of the West appeared to them. Thankfully one is a good sided member while the other is the original one. Howl's first reaction was to seduce either, but he instead got a slap from Thropp and was nearly zapped by the other had it not been for Sophie to stop the fighting and by accidentally revealing her secret powers as a witch herself despite being mostly human. This accidental revelation surprised both witches, especially the latter, due to her romantic connection to Howl and relations to her sisters and his compatriots.
  • More wizards took notice of Howl's skills and decided to put him to the test. Thanks to his profession of handling odd jobs, Howl's skills excelled, but Merlin, the one who handled the test felt he was a disappointment following his childish actions towards his responsibilities, something most wizards would mostly not do, especially for as old as him. He still sees him as a worthy wizard but demands him to never leave his duties behind, a reminder that he has gotten used to.
    • Meanwhile Gandalf appreciates his demeanor, though he states that his unfair price range between customers of both rich and poor to be abysmal, even with that said, he cannot deny that Howl has matched his expectations to be a decent wizard, and his stance against war, to the point of fighting the other wizards who participated in such.
    • Wizardry is something Hogwarts as a school is very known for and it would not take long till Harry Potter notified Dumbledore of his presence. Invited to a dinner session with the kids, Howl would be hired at one point to teach the kids some new tricks he himself has learned. The day after he was a substitute teacher and Harry and Dumbledore went back to Hogwarts, the kids suddenly were trying out different disguises, some even tried disguising as other teachers, with Howl impersonating Dumbledore right in front of him. This made him amused, but not impressed following him not being able to discipline the students very well.
    • In secret, he slowly envies Khadgar for several reasons. One is his knowledge of both magic and history, then again, the difference between a mage and a wizard is huge from a knowledge standpoint. Then comes the magic, which is something Khadgar has grown advanced of compared to his own. He has been inscribing teaching lessons from him, hopefully learning more at his own behalf. For Sophie, her similarity goes with their age, as they have also suffered a curse with their age, though on her case, she has learned to control it but prefers being her old self, which made the archmage laugh, only to receive a kick to the leg courtesy of Sophie.
    Sophie: Learn some manners! You're old too you know.
  • Womanizing is something the wizard himself has admitted to doing, so much that in Ingary, he was known for eating women's hearts all because he has been flirting to almost every woman he could find, and eventually angry relatives of said women would confront him for his negligence. While he may have stopped for a long time following his newfound relationship with Sophie, she has caught him multiple times attempting to do so once again and ended up romancing another woman, till he was forced to cut ties with her. She has been vigilant but thanks to his freedom in the Pantheon, this will be a challenge.
    • This placed him under a mutual understanding with both Jiraya and Issei Hyodo, both of whom are also womanizers with heart. While Jiraya has long quitted such following him growing old, he still does it on a certain basis, however Howl says he lacks class while doing so. As for Issei, let's just say he was never fond of the idea of a harem in the first place, something both him and Sophie will agree on. On the topic of womanizers, Barney Stinson also came in and made a rather, big conversation with the wizard. Stage magic and somewhat fond allies is one thing, but comedic sociopathy, a confusing alignment and his tendency for bringing villains to a good spotlight only hinders their understandings.
    • This cannot be said however for Embryo, who is pretty much not only an absolute narcissist, but a person who's pretty much has a lack of morals when it comes to women. Some say that he and Embryo could be opposites as well, as they have class, but one of the few things that keep both off is the harem aspect, something Howl has no interest on, but to be compared to him for being classy, that is something he greatly takes offense on.
  • Sophie Hatter was responsible for a hat shop, said shop would reduce her life to a dull type and basically left her to working by herself to the point that she got used to it. Had not Howl dragged her to his situation and got cursed by the Witch of the Waste, she would have been living through that till death, but said adventure changed her heart and made her a much more developed person as well as a few revelations including that war her country is in and her sudden powers as a witch which she never knew in the first place.
  • Being cursed is one thing but cursed to something else is another story. That was her discussion during her first meeting with the duo Tiana and Naveen who sees some similarities between the two and herself as they have been both cursed with certain transformations. It also helps both fell in love to the person that dragged them to it in the first place, something both Tiana and Sophie never get tired from. That brought light to the person who cursed them with said curse, the nefarious Dr. Facilier who she has noted to be worse than the Witch of the Wastes in every way, even his looks scream "evil doctor" in many ways.
    • Eveline took notice of Sophie's curse and seeing her controllable age made her rage, as her actual mind as a 3 year old made her jealous she has the ability to control her looks and her age. This anger is reflected by her tampering the castle and while Howl did intervene, her mind-control powers forced both of them to flee. She may have proven herself to be a threat to the Castle, and considering the family Howl has made with his apprentice and Calcifer, this only made her anger worse.
  • When she heard there were also artificial methods of de-aging and rapid-aging, she would approach said topic with hesitation as she has gotten used to her condition as she would not believe it, but a group of children would prove her that such thing would exist. Father's own compatriot Grandfather was the one pointed out and said children would be Sector V, as kids who also went through rapid aging thanks to said Grandfather. She would pity said children and has commented some of them were sweet, especially Numbuh 3.
    • Meanwhile, more news of the topic came and also pointed out other magical spells related to such. One of which was consuming souls to regain their age. Said practitioner, Shang Tsung terrified her and has since avoided his presence. The fact that he can also shapeshift to other people and at one point even shapeshifted as one of her sisters has made her paranoid of him.
  • She may be human but Hagatha the Witch knows more from Sophie especially her secret powers as a witch. This revelation has not only interested Hagatha, but is willing to bring her to her own side if means earning an army of evil witches to aid her. She is disgusted by this, claiming Hagatha to be worse than the Wicked Witch of the West or even the Witch of the Waste combined, and this news only scared Howl further considering that there are worse people than the witch who has been looking for him.
    • As if bad witches weren't enough, The Hag decided it would be a good idea to gift her some of her "delicacies" from the Weald, only to be shooed out of their Castle as she is disgusted by her habits and her horrid creations. If anything is to go by, she might be one of the more terrifying witches she has faced, and perhaps the most bizarre of them all.
    • And that wasn't all, as a visit from a walking hut with chicken legs came in to light and the said deity would harass the two and especially Howl's apprentice Michael. When she heard that it was the actual Baba Yaga that visited them, she screamed in terror that the notorious witch would visit them. When she arrived once again, Sophie decided to make her stance clear against her by banishing her back to her forest homeland exposing her witch powers once again. This only aggravated the Baba Yaga and has promised to take their apprentice for her special meal.
  • While witches aren't the only problem, witch hunters are on another level, especially when Macbeth heard of her secret powers as a witch. Said news has brought with him a mob with Lady Macbeth watching from the distance of her husband carrying the deed. Thankfully Howl brought both her and the Castle away from the duo and should the mob ever arrive, they can always find another spot to occupy.
  • Their Castle isn't the only moving building in the pantheon, as some have also managed to accomplish this feat. Carl Fredrickson managed to bring his house to South America with just balloons, something that Sophie admires especially when he finally moved on from Ellie's death, something that she reminds Howl to always move on from things. The aforementioned walking hut from the Baba Yaga also counts, but she would rather not talk about that incident again.
    • Sadly, they discovered, some methods of moving a building can be downright macabre and even tragic; one house was also alive, albeit in a broken way. When the two ascended, several people warned them of the Monster House that was not only alive like Howl's Castle but also has its own soul, and a tormented one, at that. The only thing the two can express is sorrow and pity, as the owner of that soul deserved better, rather than being in the state that it's in now.
  • Following the truth of their movie being an adaptation of the books, many deities have been wondering which continuity the two follow. Much thinking later and the Court of the Gods, alongside the duo have made it clear both have merged their memories together from both the novels and the animated film itself. Hence the Castle being restored despite it being destroyed and Sophie's hidden powers being among the chief additions.
  • Sophie: "A heart's a heavy burden."
  • Howl: "I've had enough of running away, Sophie. And now I've got something I want to protect. It's you."

  • In the far future, long after the sea levels rose, ocean life gradually emerged from the sea, evolving to dwell on the earth. Two notable species are the Inklings and the Octolings (belonging to the Octarian population), the evolved forms of squids and octopi who took on a humanoid form, can shapeshift to a squid/octopus form, and are entirely made of ink. The two species lived together relatively well, until the sea levels started to rise again, forcing them to wage war against each other over territory. The Inklings won, forcing the Octarians to live in valleys and canyons. The Inklings would go on to build Inkopolis, the central hub of Inkling culture, where every squidkid participates in Turf Wars. Meanwhile, under the rule of DJ Octavio, the Octarians become more millitarized, waiting for the day to fight against the Inklings again while stealing Zapfish to power their crumbling homes. After a spetacular performance between DJ Octavio and the Squid Sisters, many Octolings made a journey to Inkopolis to escape from oppresion and live a better life amongst the Inklings.
  • Applies to both:
    • Originally, only the Inklings represented the Gunge-covering title, being brought into the Pantheon after Mario recommended them and the Court of the Gods playing their game. However, certain deities noticed a slow, but gradual growth in rather octopoid-looking Inklings among their population, blending in unnoticed due to the Inkling's not really noticing the differences. Eventually, the cat came out of the bag, and the Octolings were outed to the Inklings by one loudmouthed deity. Fearing backlash, the Octolings were surprised to see the Inklings accept them, not holding any grudges at all. The Court of the Gods decided to grant the Octolings divinity so they can share the title with the Inklings.
    • Ever since the Inkling's ascension, they brought in their main sport that became all the rage for Pantheonic youth: TURF WARS! In Turf Wars, the goal is to cover the stage with your team's ink, and you must cover more than the opposing team to win. There are also variations of the sport such as "Splat Zones" where both teams compete over control of specific parts of the map, "Tower Control" where the teams try to take a tower through checkpoints to the goal, "Rainmaker" where teams try to carry the titular Rainmaker to designated goals, and "Clam Blitz" where teams collect clams and deposit them in nets. Stages are held in special arenas in the Houses and are rotated every few hours, announced by the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook. Since much of Pantheonic Youth cannot submerge themselves in ink, certain accomidations have to be made for matches involving those participants. Thankfully, since ink quickly dissipates after a match, this means participants don't have to take a shower everytime they finish a match. Plenty of deities have tried out Turf Wars, even a Brachydios joined in on the fun! The Inklings and Octolings think it's totally rad that their new friends are enjoying their favorite sport.
      • Occasionally, Splatfests will be hosted, in which deities choose one of two sides and then duke it out for a few days, with the winning team of the events being announced at the very end. The Squid Sisters and Off the Hook host the events, with each member of the duos representing the different teams. Matches can get extremely heated as competitors race to get on top. Of course, regardless of who wins, the winning results of the Splatfest don't actually change laws due to the Pantheon's law system differing from Inkopolis'. Notably, certain Splatfests involved certain deities from other worlds and franchises. The first crossover Splatfest held was Autobots vs. Decepticons, of which Decepticons won. Megatron used this knowledge to rub in his "victory" in Optimus Primes's face of which the latter shoved him away. Next up was Pokémon Red vs. Pokémon Blue, with Blue winning. Marie revealing her love of Vulpix aside, certain Inklings became interested in becoming Pokémon trainers themelves. Next up was Spongebob vs. Patrick, of which Patrick won the Splatfest. Spongebob and Patrick met up with the Inklings with this info, and became fast friends. They introduced them to the delectable Krabby Patties but are disappointed with the difficulties in bringing them to Bikini Bottom due to the Inkling's weakness to water. Later, there were three Splatfests involvement of the TMNT, with Raphael and Donatello beating Leonardo and Michelangelo, with Donatello winning the entire competition. The turtles struck a quick bond with the ink people, finding them to be radical and sometimes give the pizza. There also was a three part Splatfest featuring Hello Kitty and her friends, with Hello Kitty and My Melody beating Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin, with My Melody winning the competition. Hello Kitty also gets along with the ink people even if she's not into the chaotic Turf Wars.
      • Later on, some Inklings and Octolings have taken a part time job under the employment of the mysterious Mr. Grizz in a profession known as Salmon Run, where they aim to harvest Power and Golden Eggs from the Salmonid swarms. Plenty of deities looking for jobs and combat experience also volunteer for the job, being loaned weapons to collect eggs and fend off against the hungry horde. Of course, due to most deities not being made of ink, certain safety precautions were added to ensure less deaths ensued during the job, though it isn't uncommon for deities to respawn in the House of Life and Vitality after a particularly disasterous run. Unfortunately, some Salmonid swarms sometimes pop up in other places like the Houses of Aquatic Life and Water and Moisture, requiring skilled exterminators to drive them off before the swarm becomes too much to handle.
      • One day, while a majority of the pantheon was going about their day, suddenly, for some reason, the skies above the pantheon turned pink. Almost immediately, many houses reported huge swathes of Salmonids invading their temples. According to some gods that partook in the Grizzco Salmon Runs, this was the start of the Big Run, a seasonal event in which mass migrations of Salmonids would be invading from place to place, destroying anything in their pathway. Almost all the gods in the Pantheon that were combat capable immediately reported to Grizzco Industries, where Mr. Grizz would be deploying teams into areas of the Pantheon that the Salmonids invaded, but did not waive the Golden Egg quota for the teams, as Mr. Grizz cared more about the egg quota than if the Pantheon was successfully defended. After a few days, the Big Run ended, prompting a mass cleanup within the Pantheon. No one knows when the next Big Run will take place, and are reinforcing themselves for when it happens.
      • Nekron has taken interest in the Salmonids after the Big Run ended and is currently thinking of ways to implement them into the GUAD. The other alliances are worried about what this could mean for the Pantheon.
    • If there's any music artists the Inklings and Octolings are obsessed with, it's the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook. The two duos have a massive following consisting of the ink people, so they often turn up at their concerts dancing and cheering to their songs and performances. Things get even more exciting when they host Splatfests, as the area they're performing in turn into a massive party. The two duos sometimes hang out with their fans from time to time, and even sign autographs, much to their joy. The Octolings in particular adore the Squid Sisters, as their song, "Calamari Inkantation" was the catalyst for making them flee to Inkopolis in search of a better life.
    • There are a few notable members of the ink teens that are worth a mention, namely for having actual combat credentials out of Turf Wars. They're the ones most likely to throw themselves in actual combat situations within the Pantheon.
      • The first is Agent 3, an Inkling who was recruited into the New Squidbeak Splatoon by Cap'n Craig Cuttlefish, who aims to fight the Octarian army and take back the Great Zapfish powering Inkopolis. Agent 3 proceeded to storm through Octo Valley, fightng Octarians and taking back the Zapfish, and eventually saving Cuttlefish and the Zapfish from DJ Octavio with the help of Callie and Marie. Later on, they became the new Captain of the New Squidbeak Splatoon.
      • The second is Agent 3, another Inkling recruited into the New Squidbeak Splatoon by Marie, who is searching for the missing Great Zapfish and her cousin Callie. Agent 4 would tear up Octo Canyon, fighting the Octarian army and rescuing the Zapfish. Eventually, they fought against DJ Octavio and the brainwashed Callie, who managed to break control thanks to Marie's intervention, and so DJ Octavio was defeated yet again.
      • The third is Agent 8, an Octoling who wakes up in the Deepsea Metro with Cap'n Cuttlefish and without memories. They are told by a mysterious telephone that they can escape to the "promised land" should they collect the four "thangs" and complete tests. Agent 8 would complete the harrowing tasks, collect mem cakes (physical manifestation of their memories) and the "thangs", bringing them to the telephone. When all four "thangs" were collected, they were combined into one contraption which turned out to be a blender, which nearly killed Agent 8 and Cuttlefish if it weren't for Agent 3 saving them. Agent 8 would then escape the facility, with them fighting a brainwashed Agent 3 near the end. Their troubles would be over, if it weren't for the telephone revealing itself as Commander Tartar, an ancient AI hellbent on destroying both the Inklings and Octolings and replacing them with a "ultimate life form" made of the blended test subjects, with the gigantic NILS Statue prepping to fire at Inkopolis. Together with Pearl and Marina, Agent 8 prevented Tartar from realizing its genocidal ambitions.
    • The Inklings and Octolings love to spray and cover the surrounding areas with their ink that they create with their bodies. It's even the main concept of the Turf Wars, to cover as much turf as possible in your teams ink color. This lead to the two species bringing the attention of two deities who utilize graffiti art; Beat and Miles Morales. Beat is a part of the rudies culture, who are gangs that compete for turf by tagging areas with graffiti, while Miles occasionally tags some buildings as a hobby. While the two enjoy the hecticness of Turf Wars, they also aim to teach the Inklings and Octolings the art of graffiti so they can spray their ink in a more focused, artsy manner instead of just messy splats. So far, some Inklings and Octolings got the hang of graffiti and spread their art around the urban landscapes, but most are content to just keep spraying their ink in the way they like it.
      • Occasionally, Born would accidentally find himself in the middle of a Turf War, so he tries to dodge the wild spray of ink flying everywhere. As Born has the power to place colored paint in the area, this can lead to confustion with a third unexpected color being placed on the stage. Plus, each color gives a unique effect to Born, which puzzles many Inklings and Octolings.
    • The Inklings and Octolings are composed entirely of ink, which they can utilize with a variety of tools to spray around the surrounding area. They can also submerge and swim in their ink, replenishing their ink supply. Bendy is also a being composed of ink, who had a messy history of people trying to properly bring him to life. The Inkings and Octolings are forbidden to be in the same area as Bendy, as their ink can cause him to enter his monstrous beast form if he absorbs too much. While most Inklings and Octolings just avoid him, some are mischievous enough to try to douse him with their ink and make a run for it, usually with disastrous results. Bendy's beast form tends to look much more colourful when doused in their ink, though he is no less dangerous.
      • Speaking of Living Drawings the Inklings and Octolings aren't allowed near, Ramo, Lola, and Quill are very wary of the inky cephalopods, as they accidentally damaged their painting with their ink when they brought their splatting sessions too close to the painting. Thankfully, they owed up to their mistake by telling them about Amaterasu, who is able to fix their painting with her Celestial Brush. While the Inklings and Octolings do try to restrain themselves more when it comes to splatting, the denizens of the painting generally see them as harbingers of the apocalypse thanks to that unfortunate incident.
    • By default, the Inklings and Octolings take the form resembling a human but with some squidlike or octopoid features. They are able to freely shapeshift into a squid or octopus form, which enables them to swim within their own ink, allowing for faster travel and farther jumps. Garfield Logan aka Beast Boy is able to freely morph into multiple animal forms, while Tobias is stuck as a hawk most of the time, even if he's normally supposed to freely transform. Garfield quickly bonded with the Inklings as he enjoys their high energy activities, while Tobias prefers the company of the more reserved Octolings. While Vaporeon has a similar ability to turn herself into water for fast travel due to her bilogy, the ink people are a bit hesitant to apprach her given her Water typing, not wanting to be dissolved.
    • The Inklings and Octolings general asthetic is rather 90's flavored. Bright colours, energetic rock and pop music, totally fresh slang, an obsession with being cool and fresh... many deities who lived throught the 90's may feel a pang of nostalgia when looking at Inkling culture. 90's Dude, obsessed with the 90's, adores the Inklings and Octolings, and indulges in their culture while also telling them about 90's culture in his world. He just appreciates that there are people out there who won't mock him for his obsessions.
    • Being creatures composed of ink, they are easily dissolved by water, so being submerged in the liquid will result in them melting. Thankfully, there are respawn points placed around the Pantheon for a quick ressuraction in case they get splatted or dissolved. It is for this reason that they avoid the Houses of Aquatic Life and Water and Moisture like the plague, as both Houses contain tons of water unfit for their living needs. They are also wary of those who have power over water or otherwise dwell in it like the denizens of the aforementioned Houses, Katara, and especially the Flood, with its corruptive behaviour scaring the carp out of them. Of said denizens of the Houses, they are incredibly mortified by Davy Jones for the tales of people drowning whenever they enter his lair and the Kraeken for being ancient demons of the sea.
    • There is a grim past behind the colorful world of Splatoon; it takes place 12,000 years after the sea levels on Earth rose thanks to global warming and multiple world wars, with a nuclear warhead impacting Antartica melting the icecaps being a major factor. Much of the Earth's landmass was submerged underwater, driving many species, including humanity, to extinction. This lead to creatures of the sea evolving to dwell on the land, resulting in the birth of species such as the Inklings and the Octolings. Both species are aware of humanity's past existence, so they are excited to see living humans within the Pantheon, and they are ready to learn more about them. It turns out there happens to be others who happen to supplant humanity as the dominant species or otherwise live long after their extinction or disappearance. Kaban and Serval live in Japari Park, a multi-island zoo inhabited by Friends, animals turned into Little Bit Beastly women, and the park has been abandoned a long time ago by humans, with their survival unconfirmed to this day. The duo struck a quick bond with the ink people, and sometime partcipate in Turf Wars while planning to introduce them to the Friend of Japari Park. 2B and 9S are androids that live many years after humanity died out, perpetuating a war under the lie that both humanity and the aliens are still alive. the two YoRHa androids also bonded with the ink people, finding them a nice reprieve to their stressful lives, and somewhat envy them for having much more carefree and prosperous lives than them. Dr. Zaius, Caesar, and Koba live in a Earth where the apes were uplifted by the Simian Flu, and eventually they overthrew humanity as the dominant species. Dr. Zaius finds the Inklings and Octolings fascinating, and decided to study them, especially their unique biology. Caesar and Koba generally avoid them, with Caesar noting that they luckily didn't have to war against humans and Koba distrusting them due to looking like humans.
  • Excusive to the Inklings:
    • The Inklings are a race of evolved squid who have taken humanoid forms and are made entirely of ink. There aren't many squid-based deities around in the Pantheon, but there does happen to be Ika Musume, a squid girl (it's in the name) who aims to conquer the world as a form of revenge for humanity polluting the oceans. When she heard of the history of their world, namely that humanity was driven to extinction by rising water levels, she couldn't help but chuckle, believing that her goals were accomplished in that world as humanity got a karmic punishment and the sea-dwellers displaced them as the dominant species. The Inklings seem to accept her as one of their own and consider her an honorary Inkling, much to her surprise, but she grew fond of them overtime even if she was frustrated that she can't really add them to her army due to them dissolving in water. She enjoys battling in Turf Wars (even if she'd never admit it) and even noticed some Inklings wearing clothes similar to hers.
    • The Inklings in general are quite hedonistic. They are very preoccupied with the Turf Wars, dressing in the latest fashions, and aiming to be "fresh", their idea of coolness. They often visit the House of Costumes to purchase the freshest gear around, enter the House of Sports for Turf Wars and other exciting sports, and tour the House of Gaming to play some arcade games. The other hedonists of the Pantheon, namely Emperor Calus, like the Inklings for their hedonism with Calus in particular thinking that they are better spending their time enjoying their hobbies and interests and not worrying about conflicts and war. Other, more serious Deities dislike their frivolity, especially when their splatting activities end up accidentally causing harm and mayhem.
      • The Inklings have also managed to get along with the Mann Co. mercenaries and the Tenno for a reason wouldn't expect other than originating from online shooters. The mercs tend to be obsessed with collecting and wearing headwear, ranging from mundane to ludicrous, so much so that many joke about them being obsessed with hat collection more than fighting each other. The Tenno, when not fighting threats like the Grineer, the Corpus, and the Infested, tend to customize themselves in elaborate ways a lot, sometimes grinding for material just to unlock more styles. Both groups get along with the Inklings quite well for their customizing obsessions, and sometimes compete over who looks "fresher". They also get along with the Octolings, where besides freshness, the Octolings like to inspect their weapons and technology, curious to see how they function.
    • Among the Inklings more unlikely friends is Glitchy's Mario, who happened to become close pals with a former Inkling named Meggy when he first visited Inkopolis. Plus, he does try to be on his best behaviour when around Meggy, which is quite unprecedented for someone like him. Glitchy's Mario is disappointed that Meggy didn't ascend with them, but hopes that she could come visit one day.
    • Eight lucky Inklings were chosen to attend the fifth Super Smash Bros. tournament, bringing along their inking weaponry to the battlefield. Their weapons have been strenghthened for the tournament so it can damage and throw opponents off the stage. Their introduction was... intimidating, especially since they were the first newcomers invited. Like all other participants, they hate Galeem and Dharkon for their destructiveness, especially since they got zapped by Galeem's lasers and their bodies were used to host the brainwashed spirits, so they're ready to splat them should they cause mayhem again.
      • Even before their induction to the tournament, some deities noticed that Futaba Sakura heavily resembles an Inkling with long orange tentacle hair. When Futaba first saw the lookalike Inkling, she thought that the Inkling looked adorable and tried to take her home, resulting in her getting soaked in ink. Futaba managed to make it up for the incident, and they became good acquaintances. She later introduced them to the Phantom Thieves of Hearts when they all ascended and beded on their good graces too. They got to know and bond with Ren Amamiya much more when he also got into the fifth Smash Bros. tournament.
      • In addition, some Inklings were invited to kart races with Mario alongside Link, Villager, and Isabelle. The Inklings have an utter blast cruising around the track and pelting the rival racers with items.
  • Exclusive to the Octolings:
    • While the Octolings evolved from octopi instead of squids like the Inklings, they are very similar to the Inklings biology-wise. They managed to interact with what octopus deities there could be in the Pantheon. They encountered Octodad, who they initially mistook for a funny looking Octoling only to realized that he's an octopus in a suit. They were baffled that barely anyone in his world could see through his disguise, but they figured that the humans in his world must be rather inattentive like the Inklings, who saw them as Inklings with exotic hairdos. They bonded with the octopus and are trying to teach him how to play in Turf Wars without much flailing around. They were initially confused when they met Inkling the Octopus as he's named the same after the squid people, but they got along in time, with him being fascinated by their unique biology. They also met up with Squidward, and became good associates of him despite his usual cranky behavior, providing a captive audience when he plays the clarinet. They initially thought that Dr. Octopus was an actual Octoling too, but realized soon that he was just a villainous human scientist with mechanical tentacles. They stay away from him as he's very interested in experimenting with them, and they don't want to become someone's guinea pigs. They are rather afraid of the Kraken, an octopoid creature residing in the deep ocean, knowing that it can use its tentacles to drag them down the watery abyss. To say nothing of Cthulhu, as not only does he somewhat resemble a monstrous octopus and dwells in the ocean deep, his presence also gives the Octolings a massive headache, so they'd rather not encounter him anytime soon.
    • The Octolings are generally more reserved than the Inklings, and so get into less trouble than their squid friends. While still passionate over Turf Wars and fashion, they are rather fascinated by weapons and technology in general, as they lived in the militarized Octarian society. It's for this reason that they like to visit the Houses of Machinery and Technology and Weapons to examine the varied technologies and weapons within the Pantheon. Both Houses have also gained an interest in Octarian tech and weaponry, and wish to acquire it somehow.
    • The ascended Octolings used to live in the Octarian habitats deep withing Octo Canyon and Octo Valley, residing there after ending up as the losers of the Great Turf War. Octarian society took a militarized turn, with children being trained to fight at a young age and anti-Inkling propaganda being incredibly prevalent. The Octarian society kept prepping itself up for an eventual invasion against Inkopolis, with the looming energy crisis also making them steal zapfish from Inkopolis. However, the Squid Sister's performance of "Calamari Inkantation" during Agent 3's fight against DJ Octavio made many Octolings wake up and realize the greener pastures that lie outside of their crumbling homes, making them escape and travel to Inkpolis to integrate to Inkling society. The Octolings feel unnerved by the Grineer, as they are a race of clones made just to serve in a militant cause, so they give the Octolings bad memories of their past lives. The Grineer just see them and the Inklings as more inferior beings to kill. They do relate to those who ditched the army and ran away, with the Steel Meridian being made up of Grineer deserters and humans fighting to protect others, and want to tell their stories to those Grineer.

  • Foil to: Shukuro Tsukishima
  • Avoids: Hermes
  • Rohan Kishibe is just one of many bizarre individuals that Josuke Higashikata has encountered in the strange town of Morioh. A successful, but reclusive mangaka with a very strong eye for detail, Rohan also happens to have his own Stand known as Heaven’s Door, which allows him to not only literally read people like a book, but he can write in commands inside a person’s “pages” that drastically alter the life around them. Although he has a bit of a jerkish attitude to go along with his eccentric traits, Rohan has a bit of a softer side thanks to his friendship with Koichi Hirose, a fan of his mangaka, and with the motivation of Reimi Sugimoto, a girl who he met when he was a kid and the sole survivor of an attack that killed her, he and Josuke’s friends were able to defeat her killer Yoshikage Kira. Beyond his adventures with Josuke and company, Rohan has had his own share of coming across strange events while looking for inspiration to write his stories.
  • As Rohan continued to work on his manga and looked for new ideas to write about, he started to hear rumors spreading around Morioh that a mysterious world identified as “The Pantheon” was connected to that town and that Josuke and his friends were a part of that strange world. Looking to see just how much truth there was to it, Rohan decided to investigate, hoping that what these rumors entailed could help him come up with an idea for a story. During that time, Rohan encountered someone who identified themselves as being a part of “The Pantheon” and proceeded to tell Rohan many things after being questioned by the mangaka about the rumors that were circulating through Morioh. Not only was Morioh part of the Pantheon, but so were many other worlds that Rohan had never heard of before, not to mention that a number of foes who Josuke and his friends fought against, most notably Yoshikage Kira, were part of the Pantheon and that no one can truly stay dead in the Pantheon. Rohan was surprised at what he just heard, which only grew after using Heaven’s Door on the entity he was talking to and discovering that whoever he was talking to had existed for a long time, well before Morioh even existed. With that in mind, Rohan managed to discover a lot more than he realized and not only has he continued to make manga, but has gotten involved in the myriad assortment of adventures the Pantheon has to offer.
  • He would quickly find out that he’s not the only mangaka in the Pantheon while looking for stories to write about. Rohan would learn about the works of Muto Ashirogi and how they would overcome a multitude of personal challenges to become successful and was able to arrange a meeting with the two behind that identity, Moritaka Mashiro and Akito Takagi. The two were quite eager to meet up with another mangaka and were willing to talk to Rohan about their own methods of success. It was through Muto Ashirogi that Rohan learned of another rival mangaka named Eiji Niizuma, who was a bit like Rohan as far as eccentric, but talented writers are concerned and that comparison wasn’t lost on Mashiro and Takagi even if Eiji is nicer than Rohan. Both parties maintain a friendly rivalry with each other when it comes to making mangaka for others in the Pantheon, with Rohan having come up with an idea for a storyline involving competing writers to write about at a later point in time.
    • Mio Naganohara was another mangaka who Rohan met while he was on lunch break, with Mio sharing a table with him after learning who he was. Mio showed him some of her work and mentioned that she uses his manga, among others, as a reference for what she writes. Rohan then noticed some of her friends in some crazy scenarios and asked Mio if there was anything unusual about what was going on, to which she replied that it was all normal for her and her friends. Admittedly, everyone had their own definition of normal and Rohan’s happened to be “get involved with supernatural circumstances that will probably be used as reference for future stories”. The two have maintained a good friendship with each other and have had subsequent lunches with each other, provided that those meetings don’t involve a random outside party messing with Mio’s meals.
  • Rohan had been used to encountering odd circumstances, both related to Stands and events that otherwise had nothing to do with them. He then began to read reports about incidents involving people who had something similar to Stands, but were different from such, prompting Rohan to figure out what they were. During that time he met Yusuke Kitagawa, one of the people mentioned on that report and it was through him that the whole “other Stand users” matter was resolved. As it turned out, Yusuke and a whole bunch of other people like him used Personas, which are like Stands as far as the use of Fighting Spirit is concerned, but otherwise have very different abilities. Those Persona users also had their own personal baggage that they had to deal with, which in Yusuke’s case was him being an eccentric artist like Rohan and coming to terms with the fact that his mentor was abusive and learning about how both the intrinsic value and monetary value of art can coexist. The two have kept in touch with each other following the meeting and have taken an interest in each other's work outside of dealing with their own unusual happenings.
  • At his core, Rohan is a writer and he managed to learn about a multitude of other authors through reading their books as reference for future projects. Among those Pantheonic authors included Richard Castle, Subaru Mikazuki, and Alan Wake, all of whom had plenty of unique traits Rohan noticed while talking to them. To some extent, mystery writer Richard was a bit like Rohan when it comes to being a writer investigating odd events, though what Richard deals with is much more mundane in comparison. Alan Wake was another writer who had to deal with strange going-ons in a small town, though they were much more personal and darker (figuratively and literally) in nature. Like Richard, Subaru is also a mystery writer, but doesn’t put himself in any danger thanks to his introverted character, not to mention the fact that he takes care of Haru, a cat he’s really fond of. Subaru found what Rohan went through rather intriguing and Rohan seems to be aware of how popular stories involving cats are. Rohan sometimes has some casual conversations with the three on separate occasions, sometimes related to how things have been for them and sometimes related to later stories they’re planning to work on.
  • Besides Koichi Hirose, there are plenty of fans of his manga in the Pantheon such as Kyle Rayner. While some have relatively restrained admiration in that regard, there are others who tend to get a bit obsessive about their interest to the point of being dangerous. Although Annie Wilkes hasn’t read manga yet as far as anyone is concerned, Rohan considers her possessive and manipulative behavior towards a writer she kidnapped and forcing him to comply with her demands regarding a story to be repulsive enough that if anyone ends up having a problem with his work and attempts to directly ask him to have a story turn out the way they (as in, a handful of specific people and not the general audience that enjoys his stories), he won’t hesitate to fight back. A similar thing also applies to anyone who directly tells him that they don’t like manga in general.
  • Not only does Heaven’s Door allow Rohan a glimpse at every bit of important information inside of whoever he’s interacting with, but he can write commands inside of the “pages” of that person (and he can also write those commands in himself) and can alter their memories as well. Rohan’s written-in actions are something that he only does if he and his friends are in a bad spot and he would learn of another individual who also had the power to alter memories named Shukuro Tsukishima. Like Rohan, Shukuro can look into people’s past and memories and alter them if need be, but the latter has a very different method of activating his powers and while Rohan uses Heaven’s Door in dire circumstances, Shukuro uses his memory manipulation powers in order to fulfill some sort of goal he has. Giving the relatively similar set of powers, Rohan knew how bad things would be if that kind of power was put in the hands of a villain and while Shukuro isn’t as evil as he was back then, all Rohan has to do to see if something is wrong with someone is to use Heaven’s Door on anyone that isn’t acting like themselves and find any “pages” altered by Shukuro. Shukuro seems to know how similar Heaven’s Door is to his own abilities, but he’s opted to ignore Rohan for the time being unless he ends up really interfering with his plans.
  • While Rohan has dealt with a number of strange events that he’s come across, one of his most notable endeavors outside of writing was stopping Yoshikage Kira, a serial killer responsible for murdering several people, including Reimi Sugimoto (who Rohan had met at a young age prior to witnessing her death at Kira’s hands). It was one thing to have to deal with Kira again even with the multitude of other Pantheonic denizens capable of defeating him, but the fact that there are plenty of other serial killers beyond Kira proved to be problematic for Rohan, especially if said killers are willing to target his friends. One such killer was Jack the Ripper, who had a lot of mystery surrounding him to the point that it’s very hard to find out exactly what his background is, even if Rohan attempted to use Heaven’s Door on him. Although the majority of these serial killers don’t share the same kind of power that Kira has and some have their own twisted motivations, that hasn’t stopped Rohan from hating those kinds of individuals given what he went through back then.
  • One of Rohan’s adventures involved buying forested mountains to use as reference for a story he was writing and subsequently learning about some strange events that took place. This was traced to a yokai he dubbed as Mutsukabezaka, a creature that passes its curse (its victims bleed almost endlessly) onto descendants related to its victim(s) and whoever ended up being attracted to said victims. Nate Adams ended up reading about Rohan’s encounter with such an unusual and creepy yokai and ended up meeting the mangaka directly. Rohan decided to tag along with Nate for a bit after learning that a large building that Nate often passed by (and what Rohan was planning to use as reference for later) was being haunted by yokai. As the two investigated to see what was causing the structure to scare away others, Rohan noticed that Nate had access to friendly yokai and even befriended a few of them that they encountered along the way. The duo eventually encountered a yokai neither had met before and it required Nate’s skills and Rohan’s wits to make it out of that battle alive. For all of Nate being called “average” and “generic”, Rohan found him to be rather interesting, especially where his profession is concerned and the two have remained on good terms with each other since that encounter.
  • By his own admission, Rohan considers the time where he engaged in a rivalry against an arrogant model to be a low point for himself. Yoma Hashimoto was obsessed with his body to the point of murdering others for getting in the way of his workout regimen, a revelation that disturbed Rohan upon learning of it. Not only that, but Rohan noticed that Yoma had become an avatar for Hermes, better known as the god of speed and referred to by Rohan as the God of Muscles. Although Rohan was able to outwit Yoma, he’s still wary that Hermes is still vengeful towards him and the fact that Hermes himself has a presence in the Pantheon and is alive didn’t sit well with the mangaka. Despite being told by some that Hermes is a friendly fellow despite his trickery, Rohan doesn’t believe those claims (especially since if Hermes hates someone, he really hates them) and has done whatever he can to avoid Hermes and make sure he doesn’t incur his vengeful wrath.

    Wallace & Gromit 
Wallace & Gromit, Gods of Overly Complex Inventions
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/walace_and_grommit.png
  • Demigods
  • Symbol: A slice of Wensleydale Cheese
  • Theme Song: Wallace & Gromit theme
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio:
  • Domains: Machines, Invention
  • Allies: Steve?, Sackboy, Nagisa Momoe, Mr. Peabody & Sherman, Ludwig von Drake, Tails, Monterey Jack, Phineas & Ferb
  • Rivals: Pinky & The Brain
  • Enemies: Gaston, Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, The Lepus
  • Mixed Relations: Penta Penguin (moreso in Gromit's case)
  • The good-hearted, if eccentric, cheese-lover Wallace and his silent, but loyal, dog Gromit go on a series of adventures and Wallace's inventions often play an important role in them. These inventions are often built with pretty cheap material, among them a rocket built inside their basement in order to go to the Moon and get some cheese there. Beyond that, many of Wallace's inventions tend to be extremely complicated variations of doing a simple task, such as getting out of bed and making breakfast as the wake-up process is happening. While Wallace is a skilled inventor, a good number of his products end up malfunctioning at some point, prompting Gromit to fix whatever mess is going on.
  • When some gods of the Pantheon woke up one day and found a sprawling and expansive device made out of ordinary materials, they knew something was up. Some of them managed to find the creators and discovered an eccentric man and his silent dog, known as Wallace and Gromit respectively. Wallace decided to show off his visitors what that invention is and explained how he made it. It took a bit of time for the process to be completed. It did work, though it was not without a hiccup or two. In any case, the general reception to Wallace and Gromit's invention was well-received and the duo was allowed a spot in the Pantheon to continue their work.
  • If there is one kind of food that Wallace really likes, its cheese, with Wensleydale cheese being a particular favorite of his. He likes to visit the House of Food to try out different types of cheese, with Gromit tagging along whenever the pair isn't busy with their work. The two even managed to find a couple of cheese-loving deities for Wallace to talk to in Nagisa Momoe and Monterey Jack, with the latter sometimes exchanging different types of cheese for Wallace to try out (with Wallace returning the favor as well).
  • As Wallace & Gromit went across the Pantheon to find other creative minds, they managed to find two unconventional deities named Steve? and Sackboy. After Wallace asked the two to see what they're capable of, both managed to impress Wallace and Gromit with now only their creative streak, but how Sackboy in particular was able to come up with contraptions and layouts far more elaborate than what Wallace could ever come up with. Regardless, Sackboy and Steve? both earned Wallace & Gromit's approval and they have hanged out with each other frequently to review contraptions that they are coming up with.
  • In a broader sense, it was fairly easy for Wallace & Gromit to find a plethora of inventors and get along with most of them. They were a bit surprised to see the lineup of inventors, which included a two-tailed fox, a kooky duck whose attitude is similar to that of Wallace at times, and two adventurous kids. They were able to get along with these specific set of inventors, though Wallace & Gromit learned from them that there are a handful of people who are willing to use their inventions for nefarious purposes. This unsettled Wallace and Gromit for a bit as they didn't want their designs to fall into the wrong hands.
  • Of the various inventors throughout the Pantheon, Wallace & Gromit have taken a liking to Mr. Peabody, a talking dog who happened to be an inventor. The duo later learned that Mr. Peabody is a very smart dog taking care of a human named Sherman. Given their respective lines of work, Mr. Peabody and Sherman was willing to travel across time with Wallace and Gromit to meet up with other famous inventors and discover something interesting along the way. Even if Wallace and Gromit were unable to accept the offer due to a number of commitments made in the field of inventions, both are willing to talk to Mr. Peabody and Sherman whenever they have the time to do so.
  • During one of the pair's various adventures, Gromit found a cage that had Pinky & The Brain inside. The two mice witnessed some of Wallace & Gromit's inventions and The Brain figured that these elaborate devices could be used as a means of taking over the world. Gromit ended up overhearing them and it largely fell onto him to make sure the two don't go near them. For the time being, The Brain has been focused on finding a way to get Gromit out of the way so that the mice can trick Wallace into handing over an invention to them.
  • Among the adversaries that the pair has crossed paths with was Feathers McGraw, a criminal penguin that attempted to steal a diamond and known to have made some inventions of his own later on. Gromit spent a little bit of time looking for penguins to see if Feathers was still around and what he found was an assortment of other penguins that aren't anywhere near as malicious as Feathers was (though some ended up being a bit of a handful for Gromit). Penta Penguin ended up being the only penguin in the Pantheon that Gromit had concerns about given how the former acted a bit devious on occasion. When Wallace found Gromit with Penta, Wallace simply saw a harmless penguin that Gromit was with, though the dog still has his doubts about Penta's real behavior.
  • Gaston was someone whom the pair has had a number of problems with, mainly due to how similar he is to a man named Victor Quartermaine. Both Gaston and Quartermaine are rich and boorish hunters who were trying to win the hearts of a certain lady and resorted to deadly measures to try and get rid of a kind-hearted if frightening creature that was getting in the way (in Wallace's case, it happened when he was transforming into a Were-Rabbit as a result of an invention of his being used incorrectly). Gaston cares little about what the duo thinks of them, but did get irritated after hearing about the Were-Rabbit story.
  • Speaking of the Were-Rabbit, Wallace & Gromit did have to deal with some troublesome rabbits during that time, which ended with the rabbits being given a separate habitat. From time-to-time, the pair does their business in making sure problematic rabbits don't bother certain deities. This was when they learned about The Killer Rabbit and The Lepus, both of whom are a group of deadly hungry rabbits that are much more menacing than the rabbits that Wallace & Gromit were used to. Wallace & Gromit were shocked to learn that The Killer Rabbit and The Lepus went after humans and not just vegetables, prompting Wallace & Gromit to come up with inventions designed to deal with those kinds of ravenous rabbits specifically.
  • As fun as it is to watch the pair's elaborate inventions, some have expressed concern about it causing significant harm to anyone should a malfunction occur. Wallace made an attempt to assure the doubters that the inventions are harmless and only meant to improve other people's lives. That was when he and Gromit were told about some fickle supernatural entity that would end people's lives in over-the-top ways and that there's a possibility that it might use some of Wallace's inventions to further its goals. The only thing that Wallace & Gromit could do is try to be safe and not get involved whatever calamity that entity may cause.
  • The idea of making complex devices akin to what Wallace does is very much not an easy task if some who attempted such a thing in the past has anything to say about it. One failed attempt came from Tom the Cat attempting such a contraption to capture Jerry, though that failed when the mouse made a last-minute modification to the blueprints for said contraption. Gromit isn't really amused in such instances, though he and Wallace have seen other contraptions not made by them that have worked reasonably well in their time in the Pantheon.
