Laraine Newman, a comedian, actress and voice artist who was featured in the original cast of NBC's "Saturday Night Live," voiced Windcrag.
Windcrag mentions that she and Sargous played Hoppety Dunk back in the day, which is a reference to the song we initially heard in episode 201, when a group of kids were playing the game and singing the song.
Episode 203 offers some particularly great insights into the lore and history of Niko's world, especially in regard to the Amulet of Power and how it nearly destroyed all of civilization.
Look in the background of the bazaar in Episode 203 - there's Frog Cart Guy! A favorite character of the animators and staff.
The name Garlika Flower is a play on the word "garlic," which would explain why it's so smelly.
The steam-blast system the Aeroglyder utilized in Episode 203 was based on mach speed jet footage.
The Venus Fly Trap-esque plant that nearly devoured our heroes is called a Barrel Biter.
The Forest of Fangs is named such because most of the plant life there actually has fangs.
Windcrag is a Hermit Crabalump.
Nar Est's scene in the bazaar posed an interesting challenge. The creatives wanted him to be comedic and vulnerable, but not make him look too weak. After all, he was Lord of Darkness at one point...
