19	Mampfen (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-1-688347889 here]]) is the Diamond Dog god of Mining, Tunneling, and Earth, and is a member of the Diamond Dog Pantheon.
20	----
21	* AccentRelapse: Inverted: he uses the typical Diamond Dog accent for the mortal Diamond Dog's benefit and to show he cares about them. He reveals this when he also reveals he's Crunch the Rock Dog, ascended to Godhood.
22	--> '''Rainbow Dash''': ...Did he just use pronouns?
23	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He is a Diamond Dog god who embodies Mining, Tunneling, and Earth.
24	* CanonCharacterAllAlong: It's heavily implied he's actually [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends Crunch the Rockdog]], who managed to Ascend to godhood in the First Age. This is eventually confirmed.
25	* {{Determinator}}: His entry notes that once he starts a task, he will stubbornly continue working until said task is finished.
26	* ElementalEmbodiment: He embodies Earth, and this shows up in his appearance as a Diamond Dog whose body is made completely of stone.
27	* GondorCallsForAid: When Firefly recruits him to rescue Wind Whistler from being Abaddon's warden and prison, he doesn't just join the party himself but emits a howl that summons his faithful from all over Diamondia to join him. This essentially adds and entire ''army'' to their forces.
28	* GoodIsNotSoft: {{Pun}} aside, he's friendly and easygoing when not working, and he is incredibly loyal to his friends. However, he loathes slavery in all forms and will not hesitate to banish Diamond Dogs who participate in it. He can also [[TakenForGranite turn people into stone]], which is used as his severest punishment. When fighting Abaddon to save Wind Whistler, he tears one of Abaddon's arms off and ''rips out one of his throats''.
29	* HardWorkHardlyWorks: ''Defied''. He wants and expects his people to be self-reliant and pull their own weight in everything they do, which is why he loathes slavery (though he also hates it for moral reasons). Anyone who uses slaves to do their work, such as the pack of Diamond Dogs who antagonized Rarity in Ponyville, would be banished.
30	* LackOfEmpathy: According to an InUniverse legend among the Diamond Dogs, he was once literally and figuratively 'heartless', and sought to turn anything he deemed 'soft' into stone. A legendary hero (implied to be Megan Williams) gave him a heart, giving him the ability to feel emotions and [[LoveRedeems turning him good in the process]]. This was true, being Crunch the Rock Dog.
31	* LoveRedeems: According to an InUniverse legend, he was once literally a heartless being who sought to turn anything 'soft' into stone. But after he was given a heart by Megan Williams, a legendary human heroine from the First Age, he gained the subsequent ability to feel positive emotions, [[HeelFaceTurn turning good in the process]]. The legend is true, and he is ''immensely'' grateful for Wind Whistler's role in that happening.
32	* MightyGlacier: When he's not tunneling, he's not very fast, instead being more of a 'tank' in terms of combat.
33	* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He abhors Diamond Dogs who participate in slavery. While he views it as morally wrong, he also hates it because forcing someone else to do the work will encourage laziness among his people. The Diamond Dogs who antagonized Rarity in Ponyville were revealed to have been banished by him for this reason.
34	* TakenForGranite: His most fearsome ability is to turn people into stone, as noted by his entry. According to a Diamond Dog legend, he once used it to turn anything he deemed 'soft' into stone. But after Megan Williams managed to give him a heart, he now reserves his ability for punishing those who committed severe crimes.
35	* TopGod: Subverted. Although he plays a major part in Diamond Dog society as one of their gods (and their evolution), he doesn't directly rule his people. Instead, he serves as a divine mentor for his people, instructing the Diamond Dogs on laws and other things. When asked why, his answer was this:
36	--> '''Mampfen:''' Mampfen God of Mining! Not God of Ruling!
37	* TrueCompanions:
38	** He treats all of his friends as this. While he's somewhat greedy like all Diamond Dogs, he sees his friends as part of his 'collection' and will not part with them for anything, not even material riches.
39	** He's this to Wind Whistler, after her playing a key role in him getting a heart. It's such that when informed of the mission to save her from being Abaddon's warden, he instantly agrees and summons his faithful to help without a moment's hesitation.
40	* UndyingLoyalty: He has this to Wind Whistler for her role in him having a heart, as it was her who allowed him to be beaten and given one. As such, Mampfen jumps at the chance to save her from being Abaddon's prison and warden, and brings an entire army of his worshipers with him.

72	\
73	Schmerzen (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-55-861846716 here]]) is the Diamond Dog goddess of Pain, Fear, and Protection, and is a benevolent, protective member of her pantheon despite what she embodies.
74	----
75	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a Diamond Dog goddess who embodies Pain, Fear, and Protection.
76	* BadPowersGoodPeople: Despite being a goddess of Pain and Fear, she also embodies said concepts when they are used for positive purposes, such as detecting potential disasters and figuring out how to heal serious injuries and illnesses. This is very important in Diamond Dog society, since lots of mining accidents happen. She has also stated that pain and fear are how a body responds to danger, which informs people how to lessen pain and danger in the future. This is reflected in how she herself embodies ''Protection''.
77	* BarrierWarrior: As a goddess of Protection, she is capable of producing barriers and shields.
78	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a motherly and kind Diamond Dog goddess who, despite embodying Pain and Fear, deeply cares for her mortal subjects and wants to protect them and alleviate their pain. As a result, she's beloved by the Diamond Dogs, and images and temples are created in her name so they could pray for protection. However, as noted by her entry, it's advisable not to enrage her, as being a goddess of Pain makes her extremely dangerous when she wants to be.
79	* DishingOutDirt: As a Diamond Dog goddess, her racial magic gives her geokinetic abilities.
80	* EmotionEater: As a goddess of Fear, she gets stronger from it.
81	* GentleGiant: She's noted to be a large Diamond Dog goddess, though she's smaller than Mampfen due to her divine 'age'. She's also a motherly and kind goddess who, despite embodying Pain and Fear, loves her mortal subjects very much and wants to help remove pain.
82	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Her entry notes she can unintentionally come across as patronizing due to constantly talking in a motherly way.
83	* IShouldHaveBeenBetter: One of her flaws is that due to her emotional attachment to her subjects, she tends to take it extremely hard whenever she fails to protect them somehow.
84	* MadeOfEvil: She was an entity born from the pain and fear that resulted from various mining accidents the Diamond Dogs would suffer over the course of history. However, it's subverted; under Mampfen's influence/tutelage, she would not develop into a 'constructive Evil' goddess, but instead a purely benevolent goddess who embodied the positive aspects of pain and fear so the Diamond Dogs would have someone to teach them how to alleviate pain and make mining safer.
85	* MeaningfulName: Schmerzen's name translates to "pain" in German, and she's a goddess of ''Pain'', but is a purely benevolent one who uses her domain to help alleviate pain and make mining safer for Diamond Dogs.
86	* SupernaturalFearInducer: As a goddess of Fear, she can unleash howls that strike fear in those who hear them.
87	* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Averted. She's described as appearing as a scarred, white-furred wolf appearance-wise, and she embodies Pain and Fear. However, she has not a single mean bone in her body ([[BewareTheNiceOnes though it's advisable not to anger her]]) and wants to help alleviate pain, whether from illnesses or accidents. This is reflected in her domain of Protection.

90	[[folder:Sicher Moufette]]
91	!!!'''Classification:''' Ethereal
92	!!!'''Portfolio:''' Safety, Workers, Health
93	!!!'''Rank:''' Divine (Tier III/Intermediate)
94	\
95	Sicher Moufette (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-58-873294164 here]]) is the Skunk/Diamond Dog hybrid goddess of Safety, Workers, and Health, and is a benevolent person who promotes mine safety in Diamondia.
96	----
97	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a Skunk/Diamond Dog hybrid goddess who embodies Safety, Workers, and Health.
98	* BenevolentBoss: Especially to her worshippers, viewing the well-being of her workers as an utmost priority. It's justified by her portfolio, which encompasses Safety, Workers, and Health.
99	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold her own flaws]], Sicher is very empathetic and protective towards the Diamond Dog miners she watches over, and tries to promote workplace safety for them. Thus, she is enraged when people don't take mining safety seriously. Exploiting and/or abusing miners, as well as cutting corners in safety regulations out of greed, will be promptly sprayed in the face by Sicher as punishment.
100	* DishingOutDirt: Being half-Diamond Dog, Sicher has earth elemental magics.
101	* TheEmpath: As a goddess of Workers, Sicher has an [[PsychicLink empathic connection]] with the miners she watches over.
102	* GodOfGood: Sicher is a goddess who embodies Safety, Workers, and Health, making her the divine patron of Diamond Dogs who work in the mines. Fittingly, her powers relate to healing and protecting miners from the dangers of their job.
103	* HealerGod: Sicher is a goddess of Safety, Workers, and ''Health'', and thus has powers that relate to healing injured workers and protecting them from harm while they work in the mines. She takes her job ''very'' seriously, and thus is naturally enraged whenever Diamond Dogs try abusing or exploiting their workers without care for their health.
104	* HealingFactor: As a goddess of Health, Sicher heals quicker than normal.
105	* HealingHands: As a goddess of Health, Sicher can heal any disease or injury, as well as cast protection spells that ward off illnesses.
106	* IChooseToStay: Justified. Having seen miners die to unsafe workplace conditions daily thanks to greedy Underholds exploiting them and cutting corners, Sicher chose to stay as a member of the Diamond Dog pantheon to help protect these miners. Her father, Moufette, respected her decision.
107	* TheImmune: As a goddess of Health, Sicher is immune to all diseases.
108	* IShouldHaveBeenBetter: Being the patron goddess of Diamond Dog miners, Sicher tends to take it really hard whenever a miner got injured, sick, or died without her knowledge or intervention.
109	* IWillShowYouX: When a corrupt Diamond Dog baron tried to get away with not buying emergency supplies or ensuring proper safety conditions for his miners by [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections invoking his scent ties]], Sicher in her fury would promptly spray him in the face -- a punishment made worse by the Diamond Dogs' [[TheNoseKnows keen sense of smell]].
110	--> '''Sicher Moufette:''' What do baron [CENSORED] mean mine couldn't [CENSORED] afford [CENSORED] emergency supplies?! That [CENSORED] greedy [CENSORED]!!!\
111	'''Corrupt Diamond Dog baron:''' Baron have scent ties!\
112	'''Sicher Moufette:''' ...Scent ties?! Sicher [CENSORED] show baron [CENSORED] scent ties! ''(sprays Diamond Dog baron in the face)''
113	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sicher is hot-tempered and [[LadySwearsALot foul-mouthed]], but she genuinely cares for the Diamond Dog miners she looks after and is enraged whenever people endanger them, intentionally or not.
114	* LadySwearsALot: Despite her empathy and benevolence, Sicher has a ''very'' foul mouth, which mostly shows up whenever she's chewing out Diamond Dogs for not taking mining safety seriously, intentionally or not. It's noted to be a flaw of hers as her cussing can cause problems at times.
115	* MeaningfulName: Sicher's name translates to "secure" in German, and she is a goddess of Safety, Workers, and Health who tries to promote work safety and health benefits for miners.
116	* MixAndMatchCritters: As a Skunk/Diamond Dog hybrid, Sicher has a Diamond Dog's body type, but with a Skunk's front legs and tail, and a head that combines traits of both races. She also has black stripes running down her head, back, and tail.
117	* ModestRoyalty: Sicher is the hybrid daughter of Moufette, the leader of the Great Skunk Pantheon and creator of the Great Skunks, which technically makes her royalty. However, she prefers to wear the attire of a mine foreman.
118	* NoOSHACompliance: '''''Defied.''''' She punishes those who cut corners and endanger their workers for the sake of profit.
119	* TopHeavyGuy: Downplayed; Diamond Dogs are normally this, but Sicher being half-Skunk made her body type look less so compared to her pure-blooded peers.
120	* YouNoTakeCandle: Like all Diamond Dogs, Sicher speaks this way. It's justified as part of the Diamond Dogs' language involves scents, which can't be translated, so what Sicher says comes off as uncultured and rudimentary at best.
