Death (Discworld)
Death is a fictional character in Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series and a parody of several other personifications of death. Like most Grim Reapers, he is a black-robed skeleton usually carrying a scythe. His jurisdiction is specifically the Discworld itself; he is only a part, or minion, of Azrael, the universal Death. He has been generally used by Pratchett to explore the problems of human existence, and has become more sympathetic throughout the series.
Death (Discworld)
The Death of Rats, like Death, speaks in , but has a vocabulary consisting of words such as ' and ', the last used when it laughs, although its speech can be interpreted from context much like the Librarian's.
