* BroughtDownToBadass: Being sealed in mortal form weakened her considerably, but she learned magic and obtained a lot of artifacts to compensate, making her still extremely dangerous. It's noted it actually made her ''more'' dangerous than before once she ''is'' unsealed, as it means she's now far more skilled and knowledgable than she was before.

--> "Mortals! Give into your inner beast! Let it loose! Let it roam wild and free! Society says let it rot away behind bars in the zoo, but I say let it loose upon the world were it belongs! I am the temptation of power! I am lust! I am power's corrupting influence! I am the selfish black heart we all have! I am the devil on your shoulder that tells the angel to be still! I am the force that draws ponies to the Alicorn Amulet and all the rest! I am all of you sapient deep down! I am ISPITA LILITH SET! TEMPTATION UNBOUND!"

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a Draconequus goddess who embodies Anarchy, Disorder, and Insanity. She used to embody the heroic and benevolent aspects of her domains, but after Discord corruptd her for Ispita's plans, she snapped from the abuse and now embodies the worst aspects of her domains due to her insanity.

* TheUnfavorite: Implied. Compared to her older and younger siblings, she lacks true reality-warping abilities, which gave her an inferiority complex, and left both envious of her more powerful sibilngs and hungry for her parents' approval. This would become a sore spot that would quickly infuriate her if pressed, a weakness that Rainbow Dash exploited in the "Temptation Unbound" conflict by goading her about her insecurities.

** As he's a spirit, deities with a Domain granting them power over spirits can actually harm him. As such, Princess Marea was able to beat him into submission and further seal his power, and could even kill him should she desire (but didn't want to execute him in cold blood).
* EmotionEater: He feeds off feelings of despair, grief, and depression.

* DivineParentage: He's Ispita's son through a Grief Demon who once worked for Queen Dark Crystal in the Second Age.
* EmotionBomb: As a god of Despair and Depression, he can emit waves of despair and depression, eroding the willpower of his victims. However, he can only do this to others (besides his targets) by becoming corporeal via DemonicPossession.
* EmotionEater: He Due to his unique nature, he feeds off feelings of despair, grief, and depression.depression and grows stronger from them.
* EvilFeelsGood: Even before his FaceHeelTurn, he enjoyed spreading "[[NecessarilyEvil Constructive Evil]]" a little ''too'' much, requiring him to be kept on a tight leash by Temnobog. When his mother, Ispita, became a Fallen goddess, he embraced this trope eagerly and wholeheartedly, joining his mother and spreading massive amounts of death and suffering under her bidding.



%%* GodIsEvil:



* LogicalWeakness: His target can only get rid of him by their death...but that works both ways. If they overcome him and render him powerless, he can't run away and find another mark, rather they become his jailer. This is worsened when some person is an immortal goddess.

to:

* LaserGuidedKarma: After centuries of spreading despair out of unadulterated sadism, as well as possessing innocent people and using them as his unwilling hosts, he ends up meeting his match when he tried possessing Twilight/Amicitia with intent to make her kill Spike. Thanks to Spike, Twilight/Amicitia not only overcomes her DemonicPossession, but also [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech verbally tears into her attacker]], terrifying him enough to flee to the Castle of Friendship's basement. And because of how his powers work, he is eternally bound to Twilight/Amicitia, who is an immortal goddess and has ''no'' intent of letting him go. Even worse, Twilight/Amicitia has him rendered even ''more'' harmless by bringing in Princess Marea, whose domain of Spirit allowed the latter to seal away his power further and leave him with the threat of being killed permanently hanging over his head.

* MeaningfulName: His name translates to "despair" in Czech, which is fitting as he is a genuinely evil and sadistic god of Despair, Grief, and Fear.

Added DiffLines:

* TokenEvilTeammate: Even among Temnobog's family of infernal deities, he stood out because he enjoyed spreading "Constructive Evil" too much by their standards, forcing Temnobog to keep him on a tight leash. When Ispita became a Fallen goddess, he eagerly sided with his mother and embraced his inner sadism, becoming a powerful force of death and suffering afterwards.
%%* TransformationOfThePossessed:
%%* WhiteHairBlackHeart:
* WouldHurtAChild: Like the Babadook, he used a children's book to find his victims, and following his sealing, Ispita would use him as an assassin to murder her targets, including children, by planting his book inside their homes. What led to his defeat, however, was when he possessed Twilight/Amicitia, exploiting her grief and stress over Ispita being unleashed with intent to kill Spike. Thanks to Spike, Twilight/Amicitia managed to overcome her possession and force him to flee to the Castle of Friendship's basement, where he would effectively be imprisoned indefinitely due to his would-be host being a goddess as well as aid from Princess Marea, who as a goddess of Spirit had the power to render him harmless and even destroy him utterly if she chose.

* DealWithTheDevil: Her MO: as Spirit of Temptation, she tempts mortals into making deals with her. Originally she was supposed to punish them for giving into temptation and taking the deal, now she's far more keen on ruining the lives of innocent people.



* RealityWarper: Like Discord, however unlike him she's normally far weaker...unless she's granting a wish or performing a deal, in which case she's actually ''stronger''.

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Subverted: being sealed in pony form forced her to learn magic and steal artifacts to compensate for her diminished strength, and thus when her seal is broken, she's actually ''more'' dangerous than she was before. Pakak would've prevented this, but Discord sealed him away, allowing her free reign.

* CainAndAbel: He's a [[SemiDivine demi-divine]] half-brother of the Four Terrors due to sharing a mother in Ispita. It's justified in that unlike the Four Terrors, who represent '[[NecessarilyEvil constructive Evil]]', he's genuinely malicious and represents '[[ForTheEvulz careless/diabolical Evil]]' that the Four Terrors absolutely despise. After he was defeated and killed by Celestia using ThePowerOfLove on him, his soul would be dragged down to the Four Terrors' hell-realms where he would be eternally punished for his crimes.
