History Characters / DragonQuestXIVillains

* RippleEffectProofMemory: [[spoiler:He briefly recognizes the Sword of Shadows when the Luminary uses it to block the dark waves that weakened the party in the original timeline, but shakes it off, boasting it [[TemptingFatewould take more than that to defeat him]].]]

* DoubleWeapon: His WeaponOfChoice.

-->'''Jasper:''' [[VillainiousBreakdown No... I am not...beaten... I cannot...be... Master, just...one more chance... Please...]]

* SamusIsAGirl: It's intally thought that Gyldygga is a male, but when confronted, it turns out to be [[spoiler:Mia, Erik's sister.]]

A minor underling kidnapping maidens from the Hotto hot springs and draining them of their magic, with the hopes of using the collected power to revive his dark master.

* LivingShadow: Has these serving as his minions.

* ShesAManInJapan: Has a male voice actor in the Japanese Switch version.

* AdoredByAll: Though he may not know it due to his envy at Hendrik's swag, humans praise him for his devotion to protecting Heliodor, while monsters share the same praise, albeit for his service to Mordegon, with a Magic Marionette saying he wants Jasper leading him rather than Booga.

* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: [[spoiler:This is what leads to Mordegon's final demise in the new timeline. Mordegon is still [[DemonicPossession in control of King Carnelian,]] but the combination of the Luminary foiling his plan and him being unable to get the Sword of Light [[VillainousBreakdown infuriates him to no end.]] Rather than wait for a better moment to strike, Mordegon desperately tries to get the Sword of Light by sneaking into the Luminary's room, but he is caught and his cover blown. Shortly after, the heroes confront and kill him.]]

* StuffBlowingUp: He can use the Boom-class spells.

* AnIcePerson: One attack in the final battle's first phase is Kacrackle Crash, which has him coat his sword in ice and attack with it. He can also use Kacrack and breathe ice from his mouth as Mordragon.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Calasmos first appears as a tockle that talks a lot of doom but ultimately doesn't seem very dangerous. Then Mordegon exits the picture and Calasmos reverts to his true form.

* DualWielding: Wields a pair of platinum swords in battle.

* WeaponTombstone: In the Definitive Edition [[spoiler: after his now purified soul passes on, his sword remains planted in the balcony of Heliodor Castle.]]

* StatusBuffDispel: The Blue Orb lets him unleash this, making him the party's first encounter with Disruptive Wave in the form of Blazing Blue Blast.

* BattleAura: Calasmos begins the fight wreathed in a shroud of shadows that drastically strengthens him. The shroud must first be removed by the Super or Supreme Sword of Light for the party to stand a chance against him.

* GuideDangIt: Much like [[VideoGame/DragonQuestIII Zoma]], he begins his boss fight significantly powered up and needs to be weakened for the party to stand a chance. The way to do so is by using the Sword of Light as an item to break his Cloak of Shadow. However, the only clue the game gives is by talking to a Watcher at Drustan's Labyrinth that tells you how to remove the shroud.

* {{Expy}}: Ryusei Nakao's polite speech patterns and NoblewomansLaugh will all evoke memories of [[Manga/Dragon Ball Frieza]] among Japanese players.

One of Mordegon's Spectral Sentinels. When Mordegon took over the world, Booga took over the town of Octagonia and turned it into a casino for monsters while enslaving the residents. In her side story, Jade arrives to free Octagonia from his rule, only to be defeated and turned into his personal servant. Later, the party defeats him in order to free Jade and regain the green orb.

Mordegon's general who has taken over the castle of Heliodor after Mordegon started his world conquest. The party defeats him in order to regain the purple orb.

Mordegon's general who ambushes the party at sea. The party defeats him in order to regain the red orb.

Mordegon's general who terrorizes the city of Sniflheim by spreading an illness that turns people into golden statues. See Mia's entry in Other Characters for the tropes associated with her regular self.

* RetGone: [[spoiler:In act 3, where the events that caused Mia to turn into Gyldygga in the first place never happened.]]
* TakenForGranite: As Mordegon's general, she terrorizes the city of Sniflheim with this power, granted by her necklace. It is reflected in her boss battle as an attack that turns whoever it hits into a golden statue, disabling him/her for two turns.

* NighInvulnerability: Due to the protection from the red orb, Alizarin cannot be harmed by attacks from humans until [[spoiler:the hero regains his Luminary powers and strikes Alizarin with lightning to remove the protective shroud from his body]].

* BitchInSheepsClothing: For those who cannot be tempted with the promise of good fortune, she takes on the appearance of an innocent child and asks them to go to the mural.

* BalefulPolymorph: He transforms many of the townspeople of Octagonia into demons who serve him without question. It's implied doing this to the people his casino attracts is also his goal to expand his forces for Mordegon's army. He notes its more difficult to transform someone the better a person they are, Jade having taken him a lot of effort.

* {{Biseinen}}: His slender build, sharp features and trendy hairstyle make him look a good deal younger than his actual age.

* EyeBeams: Can fire laser blasts from her eyes, inflicting heavy fire damage to the entire party.

* LifeDrain: During the boss battle against her, she summon large vines to do this to one party member.

The ancient evil that once attempted to cover the world in darkness. The demon god fought against the original luminary Erdwin and his allies and lost. Unfortunately, just as Erdwin was about to deliver the final blow, he was betrayed and killed by the mage Morcant, who proceeded to take Calasmos's power and become the demon sorceror Mordegon. Without the Luminary, the Dark One could not be destroyed so Erdwin's allies sealed the Dark One's body and sent it to the heavens, which later became known as Erdwin's Lantern.

* ArmCannon: Calasmos' left arm is a large cannon that can fire a blast of darkness, fire the cannon itself like a projectile, a small shot of energy, can be used to summon darklings, or can function as a gatling gun.

* BigBadWannabe: A very downplayed version of this in the original timeline as Mordegon destroys its body just as it's about to re-unite with it, preventing it from getting its power back leaving Mordegon as the sole Big Bad till the postgame changes this where [[TheDogBitesBack Mordegon is rendered the Big Bad Wannabe]].

* CapsLock: His text is in all caps with the words running together.

* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler: In the Definitive Edition, it turns out Mordragon managed to ''[[BeyondTheImpossible survive]]'' [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat the original history's erasure]], transcending spacetime to return as the [[GoldenSuperMode Timewyrm]], an exclusive BonusBoss. His defeat here seems to cement his final destruction, [[GameplayStorySegregation albeit the Luminary can just turn back time to fight him as much as he likes]].]]

* DespairEventHorizon: In the original timeline, after Mordegon destroys Erdwin's Lantern, the prison containing his body, all he can do is collapse on the floor of the ruins where it would've landed, knowing that he is now completely powerless. [[spoiler:When he realizes that the party intends to wind back time, he uses this to his advantage.]]

* DespairEventHorizon: In the original timeline, after Mordegon destroys Erdwin's Lantern, the prison containing his body, all he can do is collapse on the floor of the ruins where it would've landed, knowing that he is now completely powerless.
