![]() He retained his position as librarian despite his condition because "he's the only one who knows where all the books are" and the fact that he could screw a man's head off with his feet. Most of the grimoires are highly dangerous to people, sometimes consuming them, but the Librarian is no person, and no longer requires a ladder to reach those tricky high-up shelves. Discovering that being an orang-utan has certain advantages for a librarian (climbing the book shelves and using his hands and feet for sorting books being one such advantage), he refused to be transformed back into a human, and has remained an orang-utan ever since. The Librarian first appeared in the first novel of the series, The Colour of Magic, and was transformed into an orang-utan in " The Light Fantastic" as the Octavo fired a beam of magic upwards (a sort of systemwide, in this case universe-wide, update intended to save the Eighth Creation Spell (and thus Rincewind) from falling off the disc). ![]() The Librarian of Unseen University is a character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of fantasy novels. ![]()
