* ''Gedo''- A rare deviation from the fairy theme, it is named after Ged, the main protagonist of ''Literature/AWizardOfEarthsea''. Ged was a young but powerful wizard raised by a witch. Before becoming a powerful hero, he was an arrogant man who ended up hurting himself big time after a spell that causes disastrous consequences. It is likely either a reference to King Fauron, who was an arrogant king who did not realize the disaster he would bring by following Drake's wishes or rather Drake and his servants by summoning Upper Earthlings and creating Aura Machines that nearly devastated Byston Well.
* ''Goraon''- A derivation of ''groac'h'', a type of fairy in Breton mythology. Also known as a water-witch, it is one of the most powerful fairies in Breton waters and takes the form of sea creatures including walruses. Some interpretations depict them as well-intentioned fairies, if not overbearing. That could be a reference to how Foizon created the Goraon to confront Drake, but Elle and the others could feel a dark aura no different from his.
