"Bane Names"

Is it that Charon, the soul in the other spire that gives you the horn of the souls is Pluto's moon? Also, Charon is the ferryman in the River Styx according to a greek myth. Any other similarities within the names of the Bane of the Cosmic Forge Community?

Queequeg is the name of the indian in the reknown book "Moby Dickk" by Herman Melville

EDIT: Had to add an extra 'k' to the book name, or the name would be censored by the board

Snoopcheri the stuffed beagle is clearly an allusion to Snoopy (who is also a beagle, just not stuffed ;) )

The name of the Amazulu race is obviously a mix of "Amazon" and "Zulu" races

Radames, a tough mummy-like monster in the Temple area, is the male hero in the Opera "Aida" (which takes place in Egypt).

I think the ghosts' names in The Tomb of the Damned must have any meaning either, but I have no clue... maybe names of Sir-Tech workers? ;)

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Don't forget the Caterpillar and the Alice in Wonderlandian red mushrooms that make you shrink!

There's also the Minos demon on the River Styx, all Greek myth throwbacks, and the Bane King is initially named "Dracula."

There's the oracle of Delphi as well.
