[DS] Scribblenauts - God on a skateboard with a shotgun

I'm slowly playing through this game, and found myself stuck in a rut of always summoning:
a. WINGS / PEGASUS if space allows
b. WINGED SANDALS / PTERODACTYL if space allows
c. JET PACK / PTERANODON if space allows

For killing things, I've found the following nigh invincible (except for the third):
a. VAMPIRE
b. BLOB
c. GOD / DEITY / ZEUS

For pushing things, nothing beats:
a. FAN (Tool)
b. AIR VENT
c. LARGE AIR VENT (totally different from no. 2!)

For the vast majority of stages. I am trying very hard to NOT use convenient things like Black Hole, Anything, and Nothing.

A GAS TANK seems to be the only thing that blows up really good, without Maxwell having to prime it. I'm trying to find alternatives, without putting random adjectives in front of it, like BIG gas tank, YELLOW gas tank, etc.

Game's still fun, although I abhor stages with lava pits, since I can't seem to summon anything that floats on the stuff

Jam it back in, in the dark.
