* PetTheDog: For ''once'', the troglotroll does a genuinely good thing when he helps Krete pull Ensel out of the meteor lake. He immediately goes back to his usual self afterwards, but still, for him, that's quite an achievement.

[[caption-width-right:341:Heimweh Nach Zamonien?[[note]]Feeling Homesick for Zamonia?[[/note]] ]]

The second book in the Zamonia-saga, [[BadExportForYou sadly not released outisde of germany]], and a pastiche on the classic german fairy tale of ''Hänsel und Grete''.

The story follows two young ''Fernhachens'', a race of ever-cheerful Zamonian people, as they venture into the newly-open-for-tourists Great Forest and come across [[FantasyKitchenSink all kinds]] of weird creatures, some friendly, some [[AlwaysChaoticEvil not so much]].

The story is told by ''Hildegunst von Mythenmetz'' (known in English as Optimus Yarnspinner), who was in mentioned in Literature/TheThirteenAndAHalfLivesOfCaptainBluebear and then became the protagonist in Literature/TheCityOfDreamingBooks. As usual, Creator/WalterMoers is [[LiteraryAgentHypothesis just translating into German]].

On occasion, whether it's appropriate to the story [[CueCardPause or not]], Mythenmetz will chime in and stop the story dead in it's tracks to go ahead and just kind of talk about whatever he feels like. He calls these ''Mythenmetz'sche Abschweifungen''.

!!The Great Forest is just filled with all of these tropes:
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The troglotroll makes a come-back.
* ArcWords: '''Hexen stehen immer zwischen Birken!'''[[note]]You can always find witches between birch trees.[[/note]]
* AuthorFilibuster: The ''Mythenmetz'sche Abschweifungen''. Taken to it's logical extreme when he fills an entire page with nothing but Brummli Brummli Brummli Brummli on repeat.
* BigDamnHeroes: Boris Boris.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: So much that we are approaching there being NoFourthWall.
* CausticCritic: Laptantidel Latuda, if Mythenmetz is to be believed.
* ChekhovsGun: A whole bunch are set up in the first ''Mythenmetz'sche Abschweifung'' although only [[ItMakesSenseInContext the drawer full of raisins]] is fired.
** Also Boris Boris.
* TheCynic: A professor from the University of Gralsund named [[MeaningfulName Humri Schiggsall]] has invented a new kind of super-pessimism based on a glass of water The argument goes as follows:
--> Although this glass is now full, it will be empty once I drink it. That is depressing. If I don't drink it the water will evaporate. That is even more depressing.
** Once a student recommended just enjoying the moment, so Schiggsall replied that he was thirsty and threw the glass at the student who then had to be brought to the hospital.
* FantasticSlurs: ''Du kannst mir mal die Schere spülen!''[[note]]Go ahead and rinse my scissors![[/note]]
* ImmediateSequel: Played with. From our perspective it could take place immediately after the end of Bluebear's tale, but InUniverse who knows when Mythenmetz wrote it.
* MetaFiction: Oh boy.
* OverlyLongGag: Brummli Brummli Brummli Brummli Brummli Brummli Brummli Brummli.
* RhymesOnADime: Mythenmetz feels very irritated about the firemen of the Great Forest being required to sing a four-line song on repeat, with what he feels are very poor rhymes.
** Mythenmetz also has a drawer full of green tea, which apparently makes him rhyme uncontrollably.
* ShoutOut: To many classic german Fairy Tales.
