Oberon's Children - Other Members

Other Members

Several other members of the Third Race were shown during the series, often in one-off appearances. In their own spotlight episodes, most of the following were not identified as children of Oberon, and were referred to only by terminology relevant to their own mythological roots. However, their heritage was made clear in the episode The Gathering, in which Oberon calls his children back to Avalon and they all attend. These other children are as follows.

• Anansi, voiced by LeVar Burton, is a west African spider trickster and popular folk hero. Appeared as a villain in an episode.
• Anubis, voiced by Tony Jay, is a death-god originating in Ancient Egypt. David Xanatos attempted to use him in his quest for immortality. If he is trapped, then no one in the world can die. Also, if anyone can become merged with Anubis to become the Avatar of Death, can control it and the process of age. However, he cannot play favorites nor bring anyone back from the afterlife. The Emir attempted to merge Anubis with him, only for the transfer to be interrupted by Jackal, who proceeded to bring death to the entire planet. Emir managed to transfer Anubis to his body and rechanneled the stolen energies. Also in this episode it is revealed that gargoyles age at approximately half the rate of humans. Jackal doesn't know this, and it costs him.
• Banshee, voiced by Sheena Easton, is a creature of Irish mythology whose powers are derived from her voice. She is an old enemy of the hero Cuchullain. Like Puck, she refused to return to Avalon for the gathering but was forced back by the Weird Sisters. She is gagged indefinitely by Oberon for her defiance.
• Unnamed centaur present at The Gathering (though given the mythological nature of many of Oberon's Children, Chiron might be a fair guess).
• Coyote, is a Native American trickster spirit who took the appearance of Peter Maza, father of Elisa Maza. Xanatos also tried to use him in his quest for immortality.
• Grandmother, an aged woman and Native American spirit that guides the destiny of Natsilane to battle Raven.
• Lady of the Lake, a water spirit from Arthurian mythology. In the Gargoyles universe, she lives in Central Park and helps King Arthur locate Excalibur when he comes to retrieve it.
• Merlin, the friend and mentor of King Arthur and a powerful wizard. Though never seen on the show, according to creator Greg Weisman, Merlin is in fact the literal child of Oberon and a human woman in the 5th century. Though Merlin and his father had a difficult relationship, Oberon granted Merlin's request to allow the mortally wounded Arthur to sleep on Avalon, as payment for an unknown favor Merlin had done him earlier.
• Odin, voiced W. Morgan Sheppard, the all-father of Norse mythology, lost his eye to Mimir that became a powerful artifact called the Eye of Odin. Eventually he battled Goliath to get it back. However, after Odin finally reclaimed his property, he and Goliath peaceably reconciled for their mistakes during their encounter.
• Pegasus (or a similar winged horse), seen in line at the Gathering.
• Raven, a devious trickster spirit from Native American mythology, he serves as the antagonist of Natsilane.
• Naught - Dapper looking cloaked figure that appeared to be paying fealty to Oberon during the Gathering Episode. Aside from his name, Greg Weisman has not given any details about the character. However, he strongly resembles DC Comics' Phantom Stranger.
• Medusa is seen on the second floor talking with a gargoyle.
• A Cyclops and Giantess is waiting on the side as Oberon's other's children go to bow to him.
