These are the ones that I could recall after being jogged from my memory ;) by this site http://home.concepts.nl/~lwmkeijs/bb000.htm.  They also have some “less” famous ones, but being a media “junkie”, if I haven’t heard of them, they can’t be nearly as famous!  Email me if you think I missed a famous one!  There are some real good ones from Warner Bros and Chuck Jones, but I can’t recall their names at this point.

Our Favorite: Samantha (Berthilda’s got nothing on her :)  We did stumble on "Ophelia" for some reason…!



Here’s some famous Gem Eaters…



•    Hehe, there are none, this is a total fabrication by Franz X. Lanzinger, the creator of Crystal Castles!  Although many see           them as “Mutant” Caterpillars or Centipedes…



Here’s some famous Trees…(animated) 


•    TreeBeard, an Ent (book & movie, Lord of the Rings)
•    Possessed tree (movie, Poltergeist)
•    Talking Apple trees (movie, Wizard of Oz)
•    Wise Old tree (movie, Wizard of Oz)
•    Minion trees (game, Crystal Castles)

•    Trevis [pron. “Tree-vis”] (TV, ST: Voyager Holodeck character, episode Once Upon A Time)


OK, we need help in this category!!!  Send your recall of any famous (animated) trees to us!

Our Favorite: Minion Trees (Crystal Castles), even though we hate them for being so evil!



Here’s some famous Wizards… 

•    Merlin the Magician (sorcerer of Arthurian legend)
•    Harry Potter (if you don’t know who this is, you’ve been in jail for the past 10 years)
•    Wizard of Oz (well…u may know the truth on this one :))
•    Gandalf (book & movie, Lord of the Rings)
•    Saruman [evil] (book & movie, Lord of the Rings)
•    Sauron [evil] (book & movie, Lord of the Rings)
•    Disciples of D'Sparil [evil] (video game, Heretic, ID)
•    D'Sparil [evil, one mean dude!] (video game, Heretic, ID)

Well I guess my pick of "wizard I love to hate" is Disciples of D'Sparil, they had these errie chants that gave me shrills when I first played the game.  But because of D'Sparil, I never did finish the game!  We'll give you our consensus later on who our pick is for Wizards! 



Disciple D'Sparil
