Entwife

Creature related to an ent, mentioned but never encountered in Lord of the Rings. The Entwives tended flowers in what is now the Brown Lands, whereas the Ents preferred the forests. A confusing idea - did ents and entwives produce little acorns? In which case, are they really one species, instead of two? And how did they manage it, if one lot lives in plains and the other in forests?

I always wanted to know what happened to the entwives and hoped they would turn up later in the book, but they didn't. Bugger.
Where the hell did the entwives go?

I've not seen him in three days - he's as elusive as an entwife.

You should tie up your loose ends - you don't want to leave entwives lying around.

Targetmaster

Powermaster

A type of TransFormer which has a Nebulan companion (a small humanoid) which transforms into its engine in vehicle mode. This engine is needed to transform between modes, and/or to release other features of the robot.

Action Master

A type of TransFormer which does not actually transform, but which is instead an action figure with advanced articulation (similar to a GI Joe figure). Half the Action Masters were converted versions of earlier characters, and all look like they should have alternative modes. They also have transforming companions or accessories. They are very controversial among transformers fans, because many feel that they aren't transformers if they don't transform.
Action Master Soundwave, unlike the original Soundwave, could no longer transform into a cassette player; he also could not eject cassettes. He did, however, have a companion, WingThing, which transformed into his weapon.

Magnamund

The world in which the Lone Wolf and World of Lone Wolf gamebooks are set. Divided into two parts, with a huge rift between them, Magnamund consists of dozens of small countries and also some very scary wild areas such as the Hellswamp, Maakenmire, Doomlands of Naaros, etc. The final stage for the showdown between good and evil (!). The latter is represented mainly by the Darklords and their armies of monsters, but also by a variety of unpleasant beings ranging from the humanoid Drakkarim and Shadakine to the demonic Agarashi and the rat-men known as Vazhags.
Lone Wolf lives in Sommerlund, in northeastern Magnamund.

If my sister lived in Magnamund, she might get eaten by a gourgaz.
