[[folder: Gregor and Dane]]

A huge two-headed giant known as an Ettin that Saga meets in the Boneface Tribe's camp. They tag along for the remainder of the journey.

* TheBlindLeadingTheBlind: Gregor spends a lot of time describing things to his blind other head, usually in over-exaggerated ways.
* BodyHorror: Dane's head is particularly malformed, with a smashed nose, jagged teeth, a skinless scalp, and no eyes.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Gregor might be one of the nicer creatures Saga encounters, but he's still a giant more than capable of holding his own.
* CreepyGood: In spite of being a two-headed giant (and having a horrific second head in Dane), they're the most polite characters here.

A tribe of cannibals (or Ferals, as they are known) residing in the Heartwyld. While they can be hostile, they ultimately prove to be decent allies to Saga.

* AerithAndBob: Their ambassador is named Jeremy.
* CannibalTribe: Somewhat. Yes, they eat their fellow man, but it's only ever the losers of fights between rival tribes. Most of the time, they're content to feast on the meat of animals.
* InsaneTrollLogic: They view plucking food off of trees as an act of cowardice. Fittingly, almost all of them have scurvy.
* NoPartyLikeADonnerParty: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] Saga thinks that's what's in store for them, but not only does this tribe show a degree of restraint in eating random people, but Moog gifts them the food-summoning hat, solving the whole starvation problem.

There are mercenaries, and then there are bounty hunters. Out of all the latter, few are as notorious or feared as Larkspur. She is an especially rare breed of winged humanoid known as a daeva, and like a bird of prey, she never gives up the chase. Her past wasn't pretty, but she sure is thanks to her uncanny ability to weaken the wills of all men around her. When Lilith hires her to get back Matrick, Saga is put in more trouble than they could ever bargain for.

Arcandius Moog may have never been the greatest wizard around, but he was still more than a good fit for Saga as the sole wielder of magic. It helps that, in spite of his eccentricities and almost child-like fascination with the unknown, he's incredibly knowledgeable about the world, and is more than capable of pulling off an impressive trick or two. Sadly, his time in Saga ended when his husband Fred lost his life to the Rot, causing Moog to seclude himself in his tower to fruitlessly find a cure. And it's both the promise of finding that cure and the simple joy of being with his old friends that pulls him out of retirement.
