Editing List of The Sandman characters (section)

==Other beings==
The following are not in the categories of the above:

===Siamese Cat===
An unnamed '''[[Siamese cat]]''' is owned by a wealthy couple namd Paul and Marion. When it mated with a tom cat, Paul had the kittens drowned. The Siamese cat later found itself in the Dreaming while it slept where a dead crow directed it to a cave where the "Cat of Dreams" resided. After getting by the [[#Gate Keepers|Wyvern, Griffin, and Hippogriff]] that resided outside, the Siamese cat met with the Cat of Dreams (a form of Dream) who showed her a time when cats ruled over the humans. Following this experience, the Siamese cat became a prophet and goes around informing all cats about this knowledge hoping that they will one day use what they learn to reclaim their world.

In the podcast, the Siamese Cat is voiced by [[Bebe Neuwirth]].

In the Netflix series, the Siamese cat is voiced by [[Sandra Oh]].

===Skull Crow===
The '''Skull [[Crow]]''' is a dead crow with an exposed skull. When an unnamed Siamese cat ended up in the Dreaming, the Skull Crow directed her to the cave where the "Cat of Dreams" resided.

In the Netflix series, the Skull Crow is voiced by [[Neil Gaiman]].

===Barnabas===
'''Barnabas''' is a sarcastic talking dog who belonged to Destruction and was assigned to guard Delirium. His origins are unknown.

In the podcast, Barnabas is voiced by Harry Myers.

===Basanos===
The '''Basanos''' was a living [[Tarot]] deck created by the [[seraph]] Meleos to duplicate the divining power of [[Destiny (DC Comics)|Destiny]]'s book. They are incredibly powerful due to the fact that they control probability, making whatever outcome they desire not only likely, but inevitable.

After escaping from Meleos, the Basanos took possession of Jill Presto, a cabaret worker. Lucifer Morningstar sought them out for a [[Tarot#Use of tarot cards in divination|tarot reading]], which they granted.

When Lucifer created his new universe, the Basanos moved to take control of it so that they could breed (something that is impossible in God's cosmos). Though initially successful in their plan, forming an alliance with Lucifer's enemies, their ability to control randomness was severely limited by Lucifer's creation, and Lucifer was able to outmaneuver them. Lucifer finally gave them an ultimatum: destroy themselves or risk letting the egg they laid in Jill Presto die. The Basanos chose death and extinguished themselves.

''Basanos'' is Greek for [[Touchstone (assaying tool)|touchstone]]. Such a touchstone may be a piece of [[slate]] used to test [[gold]], or it may be a metaphor for [[torture]] or torment to test truthfulness. Why Meleos chose this name for his creation is unknown.

===Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine===
'''Charles Rowland''' was the only boy left at his boarding school during the holidays when [[#Lucifer|Lucifer]] closed Hell, sending its former inhabitants back to Earth. While the adults of the school are preoccupied with the dead spirits who came back into their own lives, Charles is tortured and killed by three dead boys who used to go to the same school.

'''Edwin Paine''' is a previous victim of the trio, his body still trapped on the grounds. He befriends Charles, but is unable to keep him from dying. When Death shows up, Charles refuses to go with her and she lets him go, preferring to focus on all the other trouble Hell's closure has brought her.

As [[ghost]]s, they later appeared in other books as the [[Dead Boy Detectives]] where they investigate supernatural crimes.

In the podcast, Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine are voiced by Mack Keith Roach and Harry Tuffin.

===Chiron===
'''[[Chiron]]''' is a [[centaur]] who appeared as a patron of the "World's End Inn".<ref>''The Sandman'' Vol. 2 #51. DC Comics.</ref>

===Eblis O'Shaughnessy===
'''Eblis O'Shaughnessy''' is a [[golem]] and envoy created by the Endless to obtain the Cerements and the "Book of Ritual" for the funeral rites of their brother Dream. Five of the Endless participated in the creation of Eblis O'Shaughnessy and Delirium named him. He thereafter accompanied them at the funeral.

He reappears in the Vertigo story ''The Girl Who Would Be Death'' (1999).

===Alianora===
'''Alianora''' was first introduced in ''[[A Game of You]]'' as the original inhabitant of The Land, an island region of the Dreaming that Barbie has visited since childhood and is being threatened by the Cuckoo. After the Hierogram is broken and The Land is dissolved, Alianora appears and speaks to Dream. Her history is expanded in ''The Sandman: Overture,'' where it is revealed that she was created by [[Desire (DC Comics)|Desire]] to be Dream's lover and to help him escape imprisonment after the Dreaming is invaded by two unspecified gods. Together, they vanquish the Gods, but Dream is unable to make her happy so he creates The Land as a place in which she can be free and contented.

Alianora's ghost later appeared at the funeral of Dream in ''The Sandman: The Wake''.

In the podcast, Alianora is voiced by Charly Duley.
