Who's your favorite character, and (of course) why?

*I suppose this could include spoilers.*

The Luggage. It's terribly frightening and hilarious at the same time.

Definitely the luggage!

Oy veh ... I couldn't stand the 'luggage.' Way too much power for the storyline IMHO and not particularly funny to me; in fact, the gods throwing dice was better (cliche ... but definately better).

Of the main characters ... my vote goes to Hrun the Barbarian (with the Dragonlady a close second). Over-all though, my favorite is actually a minor unnamed character ... the iconograph imp (with Sir Not Appearing a close second).

My favorite character is the luggage also (though a close second would be Hrun). I loved how the luggage is so determined to stay with his master. I love the whole description of the luggage, and how it lured Hrun to save it's master.

I hadn't thought about the imp as a character, but it is a highlight of the book.

I couldn't agree more Angie. I loved the determination of the luggage. I don't know what it was, but the luggage had me laughing out loud. An easy second for me is Hrun. And I love his follow-up appearances in other Discworld books as well.

I thought the luggage was funny, but I didn't think of it as an actual chaacter....my favorite character was Hrun the Barbarian.

I loved the luggage - but I also liked Twoflower. And I was happy when Hrun and the dragonlady left the plot. I liked the 'dead' dragon master much better.
I liked the luggage because of the fierce loyalty he showed to Twoflower. And I just like the phrase 'sapient pearwood.'
Why I liked Twoflower is a little harder to determine - he had a quality of innocence that transcended the dolting tourist image.

I loved Death. He was so matter-of-fact in carrying out his job.

The simplistic and ferocious focus of the luggage was also great.

Yes, definitely The Luggage.

I love The Luggage too. But Death is one of my favourite characters from the whole series. He has some fantastic moments in later books!

Ah yes, "sapient pearwood." Ok, now I'm convinced I have to make time to reread this.

I think that The Luggage really comes into its own a little later, but The Colour of Magic is a good introduction.

Sapient pearwood though - genius!

Not going to lie...I liked the luggage best of all. Single minded, loyal, persistent. Every hero needs a side-kick this awesome.
