Suggested: The page currently says that Wonse and Throat are original characters. I think it's fairly clear that Throat will be Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler, and Wonse will be Lupine Wonse from ''Guards! Guards!''.

Suggested: The page currently says that Wonse and Throat are original characters. I think it's fairly clear that Throat will be Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler, and Wonse will be Lupine Wonse from Guards! Guards!.

I don't know how clear that is when they're both female and other characters are similarly transformed. Presumably they fill similar roles, but changing sex would make them and others fairly original.
