Powerful shape-shifting monster from the Darklands, in the world of Magnamund. Appear most prominently in Lone Wolf 2: Fire on the Water and the corresponding novels (Legends of Lone Wolf 3 in Britain, 3 and 4 in America).
In its true form, a Helghast looks like an undead creature with a rotting face and glowing red eyes, and wears a long hooded cloak. Helghast can, however, disguise themselves as humans and other creatures, and are often used as spies and assassins. Very strong (for a monster encountered at this point in the series), they are also immune to ordinary weapons and can only be damaged by magic weapons. (Because Helghast are undead, the Sommerswerd does them double damage).
Lone Wolf is tracked and attacked by a number of Helghast while attempting to reach Durenor. Most importantly, the tunnel into Hammerdal is overrun with the creatures. There is also a Helghast in the Ragadorn Ale-House Brawl board game.
The word is both singular and plural.

Lone Wolf fought the Helghast with his magic spear, but still had problems overcoming the immensely strong creature.

Get the Helghast mug.A small mouse-like humanoid which lives in tunnels coming off the main transit tunnels into Hammerdal (in the Lone Wolf series, or more specifically, in book 2). Noodnics are scavengers which survive by stealing small items and gathering anything which is discarded. They are hoarders, and are somewhat afraid of outsiders.
They appear to be sentient, although the effectiveness of Lone Wolf's animal kinship discipline in communicating with them suggests that they are as much animal as humanoid.

The Noodnics might help Lone Wolf defeat the Helghast near Hammerdal, if he is able to obtain their support.

Get the Noodnic mug.Singular Nadziran. Evil wizard-creatures in the employ of the Darklords in the Lone Wolf series. Their evil powers include the ability to distort perceptions and change people's memories to drive them mad, as illustrated with the character Qinefer in the Legends of Lone Wolf novels.
They appear as dark shadows containing multicoloured flickering lights.

Get the Nadziranim mug.A world in Ian Watson's Warhammer 2000 novels. It is a hive world in which humans live in vast enclosed cities or "hives", while the remainder of the planet remains wild.
The world is destroyed by the Empire at the end of the first book, to eradicate Genestealers and a demonic hydra-creature which had been planted at its core by a secret cabal.

It's a pretty strange name for a planet. Like, a Russian dictator who's put on weight? I'm surprised anyone settled there.

Get the Stalinvast mug.A base established on a moon. In particular, the two bases established by the Autobots on the two moons of Cybertron prior to Transformers: The Movie. Given the highly original names "Moonbase One" and "Moonbase Two" (!!), these were to be the base of operations for recapturing Cybertron from the Decepticons. They were meant to be secret, but the Decepticon Laserbeak was able to infiltrate them. Before any attack could be launched, the moons were devoured by Unicron.
Jazz: "Some ginormous planet-looking thing has just showed up in the suburbs of Cybertron"
Bumblebee: "And it's attacking Moonbase 1!"

Get the Moonbase mug.1) any large, powerful monster or creature.
2) a giant whale in Greek (or is it Roman?) mythology.
3) a similar giant whale in Final Fantasy games.
4) title of a book by Thomas Hobbes, which gives an authoritarian argument that flaws in human nature make the state necessary.
5) a name for the state, especially an authoritarian and far-reaching state, derived from Hobbes's book.

The front cover of Hobbes's book shows a picture of a giant king, the state, made up of lots of little people.
The irony is that Hobbes is effectively advocating the creation of a "monster", which is what Leviathan initially was.

Get the Leviathan mug.Armoured band of cunts in the Republic of Ireland, equivalent to pigs everywhere else. These baton-wielding yobs act much the same way as their sister organisations elsewhere, beating up foreigners and protesters and generally making the world a nastier place.
Like the IRA, they wear all black and cover their faces with masks (the riot squad do, anyway). Unlike the IRA, they don't even PRETEND to be fighting for liberation.
