Also, Hogfather is another one. The Hogfather is a god, essentially Discworld's Santa Claus, and the whole story is about a plot to kill him off.

What makes Hogfather interesting is that I might argue that he is not a god. At least for taken meaning of what a god is and acts like in/on Discworld. He is more so a force of nature like Death. Or a thing like tooth fairy.

Such entities have a special existence on Discworld.
