Trivia

"Thanatophobia" literally means "Fear of Death".
- It is a compound word consisting of Θάνατος ("Thanatos") the Greek name of Death and -φοβία ("-phobia") the Greek suffix used to form nouns describing a fear of a specific thing.
In the Game files, Thanatophobia is often misspelt as "Thatanophobia".
The icon of Thanatophobia is also used for the "Custom Game" Tab in the main menu.
