Trivia

 * The Lich is still referred to by his old name, Lich King, in various official episode summaries and clip descriptions on Cartoon Network's site, indicating that the name change may have been done very late in production.
 * The original name, Lich King, was only changed because this name already belonged to a World Of Warcraft character, and Frederator Studios was afraid that they would be sued. The design of the Lich is also very similar the design of a character in the Warcraft license, Kel'Thuzad, a human changed into a Lich.
 * In fantasy fiction, a lich is a powerful magician who has transformed himself into an undead creature to achieve immortality.
 * The Lich is the first world threat that Finn and Jake have dealt with, the second being Flame Princess and the third being Gunter.
 * The Lich was redesigned at least once; the creators felt that his original design wasn't scary enough.
 * The Lich's final design is similar to that of the Horned King from the 1985 Disney film The Black Cauldron, which is an adaptation of Lloyd Alexander's series of novels The Chronicles of Prydain.
 * On CartoonNetwork.com, you can set your profile picture as the original Lich.
 * Pendleton Ward originally wanted to cast Tom Waits as the Lich.
 * In France/Belgium, there was a translation problem with Lich King's name. During his appearance in "His Hero," he is called "Le Roi sangsue," which translates to "Leech King."
 * In "The Lich," when Jake asked The Lich (disguised as Billy) how many gems were left, he told him without speaking. This could be because The Lich couldn't talk to Jake since he was holding the power gems.
 * Despite being undead, he can apparently eat, as seen in "The Lich" when he was disguised as Billy.
