As barbarians, Pex and Grignr swear by foreign gods. Pex worships Triballus (a barbarian god from Aristophanes' The Birds) and Grignr proclaims "By the surly beard of Mrifk!" (a phrase directly lifted from The Eye of Argon, the story from which Grignr originated).

Monopods (dwarflike creatures with a single foot) get an early mention in Aristophanes’ 413BC The Birds. Pliny the Elder in his Natural History (77CE) recounts travelers tales that these monsters are to be found in India.
