View source for Aniger

Oh goddess of Squashed Animals, which nowadays mainly consists of animals that have been run over by carts. Recently Aniger has been growing a bit more powerful among [[the gods]] of [[Discworld (world)|the Disc]], because better roads and faster carts mean more drivers thinking: ''"Oh god, what was that I hit?"'' (see ''[[Book:The Last Hero|The Last Hero]]''). Aniger has not yet featured in a ''[[Discworld]]'' novel, or even a painting, but has been mentioned a few times.

Mrs [[Georgina Bradshaw]], in her handbook  [[Book:Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook|Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook]], mentions that in the town of [[Little Swelling]] there is a popular shrine to Aniger that attracts her believers. It is set in the cobbles in the middle of a bridge. Once a year it is scrubbed clean of the remains of small dead animals and a wreath is laid, amidst much ceremony. The local general stores sells iconographic postcards of the shrine and helpful books on how to recognise track-kill and all the things you can cook it into. 

Technically, Aniger may rate as Discworld's second known ''oh'' god (after [[Bilious]]).
