Well, does the Death of Rats appear?  Because, technically, the Death of Rats is a part 
of Death.  He was created when Death was fired, and later when Death was reinstated, 
he allowed the Death of Rats to remain seperate from himself.  

Now that I think of it, I don't think Death himself shows up in The Amazing Maurice 
and His Educated Rodents, but I know that the Death of Rats does.

And, by the way, you would know if Death appeared.  He's a seven-foot tall skeleton 
who TALKS LIKE THIS.  Pretty noticeable.  Also, the first thing most people tend to say 
to him is, "Here, you're Death, aren't you?"
