* BassoProfundo: Fafhrd is a bass but pitches his voice tenor to sing. When he gets religion in ''Lean Times in Lankhmar'', this starts gossip that he accidentally castrated himself when he broke his sword over his knee.

* TemporaryBulkChange: In ''Lean Times in Lankhmar'', the Mouser's new easy life of riches leads him to gain a prominent gut. He is forced to work-out a lot to lose it in the sequel story, ''Their Mistress, the Sea''. The reverse happens to Fafhrd, who loses a lot of weight due to his new ascetic life, and has to regain his former muscle mass by the next story.

One of the most seminal pieces of SwordAndSorcery was Creator/FritzLeiber's ''Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser'' series of short stories and novellas. Set in the world of Nehwon (except for one story set on Earth), often in the city of Lankhmar, it starred Fafhrd, a seven-foot tall {{barbarian|Hero}} from the North, and the Mouser, a trickster [[LoveableRogue thief]] and former wizard's apprentice, who find and befriend each other one day. To quote Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}: "They spend a lot of time drinking, feasting, wenching, brawling, stealing, and gambling, and are seldom fussy about to whom they hire their swords. But they are humane and -- most of all -- relish true adventure."

* ComicBookAdaptation: During the height of ComicBook/ConanTheBarbarian's popularity over at Creator/MarvelComics, [[Creator/DCComics DC]] tried launching a series based on Fafhrd and the Mouser. It didn't last very long, but did result in a very fun (if improbable) [[CrossOver crossover]] story with ComicBook/WonderWoman.
