In "The Magic Pouch," I wanted to bring some of the familiars such as dragons, witches and wizards, but it was important to me that they have a twist. A troll was not good enough, so I created a toadtroll. The orcs were still orcs, but not in the fashion in which you might expect. The elves are not regular elves, but moss elves who have a devilish side to them and some magic powers. I felt this was necessary because of the evil that they must fight.
