Editing MythAdventures (section)

==Characters==
The stories mostly revolve around the adventures of a few central characters:
* '''Skeeve''', a youngish [[journeyman]] [[Magician (fantasy)|magician]] from the backwater [[Parallel universe (fiction)|dimension]] of Klah.
* '''Aahz''', a green, scaly "[[demon]]" (short for "dimension traveler") from the dimension of Perv, a world known for its foul-tempered [[reptilian humanoid]] inhabitants. Aahz (short for Aahzmandius) takes Skeeve on as his [[apprentice]], despite having lost his powers through a prank pulled by Skeeve's now-deceased mentor, Garkin, at the beginning of the first novel.  Later on, he and Skeeve dissolve their mentor/apprentice relationship and become partners in a magician-for-hire enterprise called M.Y.T.H. Inc.
* '''Gleep''', Skeeve's excitable pet, a baby [[dragon]] with a one-word eponymous vocabulary ("Gleep!") that belies his incredible intellect. However, in the twelfth book Gleep speaks simple, short phrases.
* '''Massha''', a woman of truly monumental girth with bright orange hair and a gaudy fashion sense; she begins the series as "only" an expert user of magical weapons and tools, but eventually apprentices herself to Skeeve.
* '''Guido''' and '''Nunzio''', a pair of hulking and highly capable [[bodyguard]]s attached to Skeeve as a favor from the interdimensional [[Mafia]]'s  Fairy Godfather, '''Don Bruce'''. Nunzio seldom talks, while Guido speaks in a [[Damon Runyon|Runyonesque]] dialect, which is explained as being an aftereffect of having been in a production of ''[[Guys and Dolls (musical)|Guys and Dolls]]''.  Both are much more intelligent than their stereotype suggests.
* '''Chumley''', an enormous but quite gentle and erudite [[Troll]] whose professional persona is a monosyllabic muscle-for-hire called '''Big Crunch'''.
* '''Tananda''', a.k.a. '''Tanda''', a professional assassin and Chumley's nymphish Trollop sister.
* '''Bunny''', '''Don Bruce's''' beautiful niece and '''Skeeve's''' assigned [[Gun moll|moll]]; she is an accomplished and intelligent [[accountant]] and is in love with '''Skeeve''' (though he does not know it).
* '''Markie''', a small doll-like girl who is actually a character assassin in disguise. Cupys (small, doll-like people) are from the Cupid dimension.

The [[Phil Foglio]] comics based on the books also involve '''The Winslow''': A small fuzzy alligator which happens to be utterly indestructible and presumably immortal, and figures prominently one way or another into fully three-fourths of the galaxy's known religions.
