Unattractive and known for his rather large mouth, Tharos, the Announcer of Delos, announces worldwide events such as the ones staged in the Matsuhama Arena, as well as Foozles, Riddles, Bandersnatches, and Egghunts. During events he often spurs on the contestants with witty remarks and sometimes random bits of otherwise useless bits of information. For instance, of all the types of tumtum fruit, the triskaidecahedral ones are his favourites.
Tharos has an ongoing rivalry with a town crier from a distant world, Bruyan of Loramere.
