3. Who was Crombie's father?

The crossbreed Smash actually figured out the key to operating Goldy's wand after he had been made the victim of an IQ vine.

5. Who did Grundy rescue Rapunzel from?

Answer: The Sea Hag

The Sea Hag's talent was that her soul wouldn't die as long as she could jump into a willing host's body. She raised Rapunzel so that she could eventually use her body after the one she was in had died.

6. Why did Mare Imbrium stop delivering bad dreams?

Answer: She acquired half of a soul.

Mare Imbrium acquired half of a soul during Smash's adventures in Ogre, Ogre. She didn't release it like she was supposed to, and it started regenerating. This made her lose her nightmarish edge.

Lacuna's talent was to magically create words on surfaces. Com-Pewter was able to manipulate its own reality by changing text. She changed its reality using its own magic.

Xap was Xavier's steed. Xavier fell in love with Zora the zombie, whose talent was to increase the rate of aging.

9. How does one enter the gourd?

Answer: Look in to the peep hole

Many of the main characters throughout the series become trapped in the gourd by accidentally looking in to the peep hole. Once a person is trapped in the gourd, they can only be freed by someone else who interrupts the line-of-sight with the peep hole.

10. Which one of these characters was not originally a main character?

Answer: Okra Ogress

Okra Ogress was told that there were two characters considered for the status of "main character". Nothing too bad ever happens to main characters in Xanth, and they get happily ever-afters. Okra was rejected and Jenny Elf was chosen. Interestingly enough, the character for Jenny Elf was based on a living girl who was in a coma.
