Cuendali (Old Lore)

## Introduction

The Cuendali are a unique class of animals that inhabit the dimension of Chalderia. They share features of both birds, mammals and reptiles and are adepted to the changing climate of their homeworld.

## Biology

Cuendali are believed to have been created from birds to populate the lands of Chalderia. They have the ability to controll their bodytemperature by will and have stronger bones and muscles then their ancestors.

### Anatomy

Most Cuendali have an anatomy close to that of mammals with four legs, a tail and a head on a long neck. Altough all of them have beaks, they also have large and flexible ears close to that of foxes or owls. Their legs end in four-fingered claws who are either covered in thick skin or protective feathers. The frontlegs usually grow larger and sharper claws used to catch prey, climb trees and walls or defend themselfes against attackes. Their hindlegs gow duller claws, sometimes enforced by a poisinous spur. Their entire body is covered in feathers. They fufill the same role as fur for mammals but can absorb and hold much more heat.

This standart form of Cuendali is the bodyplan for almost all of their species. Some remain closer to their ancestors and grow their frontlegs into large wings while keeping their light muscles and hollow bones.

### Reproduction

For choosing partners, courtship display plays a central role among the Cuendali. Males either perfrom dances, sing or compare the size and brightness of their feathers. Cuendali which are organised in herds or packs determine their partner threw their social rank. After two partners found each other, they will stay together for the rest of their lifes and raise their young each spring anew.

While smaller or flying Cuendali still lay eggs, their larger cousins have developed viviparity. Yet they raise their young until they reach adulthood. Both male and female produce a nutritous liquid close to milk in their goiter. They feed their young threw disgorging it into their open mouths until they are old enough to eat regular food.

## Notable species

Cuendali inhabit the entire mainland of Chalderia.

Zygoa

## Introduction

The Zygoa are a class of arthopodic species that naturally inhabit Xyrillia. They are the most complex form of Arthropods known across the dimensions; adapted to larger and stronger forms. They are believed to have evolved from crabs and prefer humid climate, mostly inhabiting swamps and coasts.

## Structure

The body of a Zygoa is composed of many segments, which are grouped in three major segments: head, thorax and abdomen. Unlike their crustacean cousins, their head is seperated from their thorax, making it freely movable. In order to overcome the problematics of molding their entire body at once, their exoskeleton split up in a total of up to 38 chitin plates. They are connected threw thin skin that is extremly flexible. When ever they grow, their chitinplates spall off. This allows them to grow to much larger sizes without the problem of molding. Yet many species fuse certain bodyparts together to develop certain forms.

Their head is usually rather small compared to the rest of their body and relativly flexible. It is crowned by 1-3 pairs of antennas which usually function as a sensory organs to feel and in most cases taste their enviroment. Their mouth concists of the *Cobinchia,* a couple of claw like jaws that can specialise in many forms. The Zygoa salvia is usually acidic, predigesting food while chewing it.

Their thorax develops between 4 and 12 segments, each bearing a pair of legs. Each of these legs can either specialise as *pereiopods* (walking legs) and *maxillipeds* (feeding legs), however their frontlengs usually consist of larger legs, enforced with a strong chitinshell. Those frontlegs often develop claws or sharp edges in order to hold and shred food.

>
>

**Sophie Woodstone** or was the previous owner of Woodstone Mansion, which was then inherited by Sam and her husband, Jay, when she passed away.

## Biography

Not much is known about Sophie only that her son, David Woodstone died prior to the series This allowed Samantha Arondekar and Jay Arondekar to inherit the house. She had a very long life though did become rather frail towards the end of her life which resulted in the house falling into a state of great disrepair.

She never knew about the ghosts which inhabited the house and so was unaware they'd been keeping vigil at her bedside during her last hours. At the moment of her death her spirit leaves her body as a partially transparent entity which floats above her bed for a short time. Hetty informs her that she is the ghost of her great great grandmother. Flower tells her she was attacked by a bear on the property in the 1960s. As Isaac tells the ghosts not to overwhelm her with introductions and begins his speech Sophia is then sucked up which some of the ghosts find nice although Thor points out its unfair since he has been a ghost for a millennium while Sophia went to the afterlife right after her death.

Sophie is mentioned during Pete's Wife as Pete used his final moments to send one of the girl scouts he was mentoring up to the house to use the phone to call 911. After Pete died, he mentioned that Sophie put his book on a shelf where it laid forgotten until he had Sam find it and use it as excuse to bring his widow to the mansion to retrieve it.

Sam travels to Ohio with Jay to see if her mother has become a ghost now that she can see and hear them since she never got the chance to say goodbye or reconcile with her mother. When they do arrive, Sam can see three ghosts, Sondra, Peggy Sue, and her mom Sheryl. Their reunion appears to be going well until the topic of Sam's job comes up, and Sam lies about working as a freelance remote journalist for *The New York Times* while also running the B&B with Jay on the side. Sheryl's nitpicking eventually causes Sam to storm out, and Jay tries to reason with his mother-in-law, saying that she can be a bit too critical and she should try to meet Sam halfway. After talking with Sondra, who’d been her friend while she was a ghost at Mojitown, Sheryl realises that if she has "some kind of breakthrough" with her daughter, she could move onto the afterlife.

When Sam returns, all seems to be forgiven until she realizes her mother is only playing nice to move on. However, Sondra and Peggy Sue later reveal that Sam is all that Sheryl ever talks about. Sheryl admits to Sam that she was so tough on her because she only wanted her to be happy. She invites Sam to return to Mojitown next Thanksgiving so they can reconnect, but Sheryl is suddenly shrouded in pure white light. In her last moments before her ascent, she tells Sam how proud she is of her and they say their final goodbyes. Sheryl then moves on to the afterlife, leaving her daughter and Jay there in the restaurant.

Notably, a young PA at a “workplace party” in the Ghost of Christmas. While in her late thirties or early forties, Margot fell pregnant and had gave birth to a baby girl, which (although never actually said), seemed to displease him as he’d hoped for a boy. Margot was a housewife and spent most of her time looking after her baby, Rachel. Whenever Julian was around, Margot would be oblivious to his cheating and unfaithfulness. Margot would often phone Julian around Christmas time to ask if he’d be home to see them for Christmas Day and he’d make up a lie or something every single time: “Oh, I’m so sorry darling, but I’ve got to clear something up whilst I’m still in Brussels.” Or “Oh no, I’m so sorry sweetheart, but…something’s just come up.”

It’s heavily implied from there since a year later in Dumb Deaths that the producers of the show had learned about Flower and Ira from their story going public that was the reason they wanted to do the segment on Flower. However the episode nearly didn’t happened since the Network didn’t wanted an repetitive cause of death done by a animal so they almost did a episode based on Pete however that ended up being tossed after a on-site incident. Sam and Jay agreed not to sue if they went back to original episode plan of covering Flower’s death completed with Sam being in the episode playing Flower to make Flower more comfortable about the fact she would be featured on TV.

Poached Guests

**Poached Guests** is the fifth episode of Series 4 of *Ghosts* and the 25th episode overall. It premiered on 21 October 2022.

## Plot

Alison and Mike discover their neighbour, Barclay has been scheming behind their backs – his outlandish tactics threatening the success of their guesthouse business. For Alison, this warrants all out war and she sets about playing Barclay at his own game. If she is going to stoop to such trickery however, she’ll need the help of one of the Ghosts, known for their crafty and coercive skills: Julian.

Mike attempts to mix things up for future guests at the gatehouse by secretly investing in some not-so-cheap entertainment that Alison will definitely not approve of. The Captain makes a discovery, leading the other Ghosts to make a new friend nearby. They all relish the time they spend with their new friend – uplifted by the addition to the group. Things soon become competitive between the Ghosts however as they force their new acquaintance to choose a favorite – but not one of them predicts what comes next...
Mathew Baynton

**Mathew Baynton** is one of the creators, writers and executive producers of *Ghosts*. He co-wrote the Series 1 episodes "Who Do You Think You Are?," "Free Pass" and "Getting Out." He also plays the role of Thomas Thorne in the series. He is well known for his role in *Horrible Histories* on CBBC. In the American adaptation of *Ghosts*, he guest starred in the episode "Dumb Deaths."

Baynton is from Southend and studied at Southend High School for boys. He supports the football team Tottenham Hotspur, as he mentions in the Inside Ghosts podcast, season 5 episode 2 and 3.

## Roles

Baynton co-stars in almost every episode of British Ghosts in the role of Thomas Thorne, an over the top, exaggerated character who is the ghost of a lovesick poet. Baynton also acts one of the Plague ghosts, Mick. This is a character who is quite odd, like the other plague ghosts, but also has a touch of someone who tries to be nice but failed, as Mick did when he tried to be nice by giving everyone furs from London, but realised they were infected with plague.

## Other work

In December 2023, Baynton will star in Wonka, the Tinothee Chalamet led prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, followed by roles in BBC's Christmas adaptation of Murder is Easy, and a TV version of Holly Jackson's Young Adult novel A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

Meanwhile, Thorfinn uses his powers to accidentally set the front yard gazebo on fire and feels guilty when Sam and Jay blame one of the young vandals.
