History Characters / DragonQuestXIVillains

* {{Irony}}: He appears on Veronica's SP Scout during [[VideoGame/DragonQuestTact Dragon Quest Tact]]'s ''Dragon Quest XI'' event, even after what he did to her.

* ArmCannon: Calasmos's left arm is a large cannon that can fire blasts of darkness and even [[RocketPunch be fired as a projectile.]] It is also used to summon darklings that power his Chaotic Kazaptrophe attack.

* ForcedSleep: He can put one of your party members to sleep with a glare from his eyes.

* BreathWeapon: Uses Dire Pyre in his Unbound and Unhinged forms

* JavelinThrower: Javelin of Judgement, which is used by his Unbound Form, as well as his Unhinged Form to damage all enemies with a shadowy javelin while also cursing them.

* FlunkyBoss: Summons a Gyldenaut and/or a Gyldenbritches during her boss fight.

* PowerIncontinence: Upon Gyldygga's defeat, their power goes haywire, and threatens to bring Gyldenhal down on top of the party.

Mordegon's general who has taken over the castle of Heliodor after Mordegon started his world conquest, and the first of the Spectral Sentinels to cross blades with the Luminary. The Luminary defeats him in order to regain the Purple Orb.

* DoppelgangerAttack: Summons a weaker copy of himself during the battle. As he can perform 2 powerful CombinationAttack's with his copy once he gets pepped up, it is best to remove the copy quickly.

-->'''Tyriant:''' Gegh heh... (cough) Heh... N-Nooo! [[PleaseDontLeaveMe M-My darling darkness...! Do not leave me...!]] Do not let the light...prevail...!

* CoolKey: Has the [[ReccurringElement magic key]], which she uses as a magic focus to mesmerize party members. Once she is defeated, you take it and can open any red doors in the overworld with the magic key's symbol.
* CreepyDoll: Her true form is a gigantic version of the Iron-Maiden type enemies.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: Unlike the Gloomnivore and Tatsunaga, she's nowhere to be found in the postgame despite not being a Spectral Sentinel and assumedly still being alive. Presumably she never came to power without Mordegon around.]]

* DarkIsEvil: A dark-purple manticore-type beast with a demonic voice that tortures his victims. He can breath a Malevolent Miasma to damage enemies, in addition to lowering their magical might and mending, and also casts Kazam and Kazammle during his Malicious boss fight for the latter spell.

* BrainsEvilBrawnGood: Jasper, the more intellectually inclined of Heliodor's two generals, ends up becoming a villain while Hendrik, who is known more for his martial prowess, becomes one of the main heroes.

* BadBadActing: [[spoiler:His attempts to maintain his cover as "Carnelian" in the new timeline ''reek'' of this (mostly thanks to him briefly not recognizing who Jade is as well as implicitly thrown offguard emotionally by the Sword of Shadow shard), though he regains his composure quickly. Naturally, the party and Hendrik become suspicious of him, Jade notably repeatedly expressing that while she knows they've been apart a long time and she can't expect everything to be as she remembers, she still feels like something is off as she doesn't feel like she's actually reunited with her father. Mordegon himself can't maintain the facade for long, so great is his desire to take the Sword of Light.]]

* 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, finding a shard of his own weapon that he hasn't made yet, 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.]]

Mordegon himself can't maintain the facade for long, so great is his desire to take the Sword of Light.]]

* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: Downplayed. In the new timeline he is ready to rage at the Luminary after being beaten, but then he realizes exactly how you managed to stop him after his defeat in the postgame timeline, and accepts it as he finds satisfaction in knowing the Luminary must now face a force worse than him.]]

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Becomes this to Calasmos. When Erdwin's Lantern, the prison containing the body of Calasmos, begins falling from the sky, Mordegon destroys the lantern to ensure that he alone rules Erdrea. In the postgame, Calasmos returns the favor by preventing Mordegon from stealing the Sword of Light while possessing King Carnelian, which inadvertently exposes him as Mordegon.]]

* 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.]]

* StatusInflictionAttack: Flashes a blinding red in both his Unbound and Unhinged forms to blind one enemy.

* BoltOfDivineRetribution: During the final battle, Calasmos will periodically summon four darklings who will begin praying to Calasmos. If they are left on the field too long, Calasmos will use them to summon the Chaotic Kazaptrophe, a highly damaging bolt of dark lightning.

* ChekhovsGunman: His Tockle form appears in the very first cutscene, and shows up periodically throughout the game. Though you learn of the name "Calasmos" in the second act, its true purpose, and that of the black Tockle, doesn't become apparent until the postgame.
* TheCorrupter: Prior to the game, just as Erdwin was about to deliver the final blow, Calasmos managed to convince Morcant to kill Erdwin, promising him power beyond his wildest dreams. Morcant states he tried to resist, but his own thirst for power was enough for Calasmos to take advantage of and corrupt him in seconds. Morcant would kill Erdwin and take some of Calasmos' power to become the demon sorceror Mordegon. Once Calasmos regains his body in the postgame, his influence begins to spread across Erdrea, turning monsters "Malicious" and making them stronger, even resurrecting various dead monsters to become his servants.

* EvilVersusEvil: After Mordegon gains the sword of the hero, he wastes no time in destroying Calasmos's body and thereby ruining Calasmos's resurrection. In the postgame, the soul of Calasmos, which takes the form of a black Tockle, helps the heroes defeat Mordegon early since Mordegon is an obstacle to Calasmos's resurrection.

* DarkIsEvil: While he dons a white armor, he primarily uses Zam-type spells in both cutscenes and boss fights to highlight his sinister nature.

* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:His appearances in the second act build up his relationship with Hendrik, ending climatically in the final dungeon. In the altered postgame timeline, Jasper is killed much earlier, leaving Hendrik without any understanding of his motives and no closure. Aside from Mordegon claiming him as a scapegoat, he isn't mentioned again. Averted in the Definitive version which adds an extra quest where Hendrik encounters Jasper's spirit learns of his motivations again and make their peace with each other.]]
* FourIsDeath: [[spoiler:You fight Jasper four times over the course of the game from Acts 1 through 3: in Gondolia, [[HopelessBossFight the Heart of Yygdrasil]], the Fortress of Fear, and [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong the Heart of Yygdrasil rematch]].]]

* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:He already knows that Carnelian is possessed by Mordegon by the time the Luminary first meets him and the kingdom of Heliodor. It doesn't stop him from trying to reveal him when defeated Act 3, however.]]
* ShockAndAwe: His Unbound form has Silver Spark as a devastating AOE attack to attack all enemies, his former friend included.

* TheStrategist: He has a reputation of one.

* SoundOnlyDeath: After an enraged Jade reveals she can access and control her monster transformation and remembers everything Booga did to her, she proceeds to kill Booga offscreen by presumably kicking him to pieces, with the rest of the party unwilling to even look at what she's doing. Even the normally unflappable Hero closes his eyes at the carnage. All we see is the orb that was hanging off his neck roll away in the aftermath.

* DarkIsEvil: Uses explicitly Zam-type spells, can summon a shadow double of himself, and hates light with undying passion.

* TheNightThatNeverEnds: He is the source of it. Using the Purple Orb, Tyriant kept a thick blanket of dark clouds in the sky, keeping the land in perpetual darkness. Destroying him causes the clouds to lift.

* {{Sadist}}: While she may be a greedy walking handbag, she is more interested in the suffering she causes to those she steals from rather than the valuables themselves.
* PlayingWithFire: As expected from a dragon, she can cast Kasizz.

* FogOfDoom: In the first phase of the final battle, he can use Alizarin's Crimson Cloud to increase the damage your party takes in battle. [[spoiler:In the fight with him in the postgame, he has an attack called the Madding Cloud, spreading a purple mist that reverses the effects of healing items.]]

[[quoteright:295:[[labelnote:Click here to see him as Mordragon.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mordragon.jpg]][[/labelnote]]

* BreathWeapon: As Mordragon, he can breathe ice. The Sword of Shadows in its dragonic form can breathe fire and Sweet Breath that puts your party to sleep.
* CastingAShadow: Fights primarily using dark magic. He's called the "Lord of Shadows" for a reason, after all.

* DoppelgangerAttack: Like Tyriant, he can summon a LivingShadow clone of himself to fight alongside him.

* 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.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Mordegon's accent tends to jump around. In his normal form, he has a distinctly British accent, but when he becomes the Lord of Shadows, his accents drops into a more Scottish accent like Rab's which is especially noticable when he becomes Mordragon.

* PurpleIsPowerful: A powerful EvilSorcerer dressed in a purple robe.

* ShockAndAwe: One attack he has as Mordragon is Lightning Storm, which has him calling down lightning bolts.

* StatusBuffDispel: Like other endgame bosses, he can use a Disruptive Wave to remove any status buffs on your party.

* {{Blackmail}}: Attempted to do this in his youth, after finding out about King Carnelian's secret passageway from his room to the kitchens. Unfortunately for him, Hendrik got caught leaving his quarters and exposed them both before anything could come of it.

* MakeMeWannaShout: One of his attacks as Mordragon is Ferocious Roar, letting out a loud shout that can occasionally stun your party members in addition to damaging them.

* CoolKey: Has the [[ReoccurringElement magic key]], which she uses as a magic focus to mesmerize party members. Once she is defeated, you take it and can open any red doors in the overworld with the magic key's symbol.

* FangThpeak: She slightly slurs all of her sentences so that that many of the words end up having a "th" sound injected into them. Even her ''name'' is a slurred version of "[[{{Greed}} avarice]]"! Erik's character episode reveals that all monsters of the professaurus-type speak like this.

* StatusEffects: In addition to Fizzle above, she has Kabuff to increase her defense, Kasnooze to put your party to sleep, and Anathematise to lower your resistance to magic.

* DarkIsEvil: A dark-purple manticore-type beast with a demonic voice that tortures his victims.

* VillainousGlutton: He'll drag out the victims' suffering as long as he can just to get that perfect meal, and savors it as well.
* WeakenedByTheLight: [[spoiler:The reawakened light and power of the Luninary dispersed The Gloomnivore's darkness and soured his appetite.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dqxi_jasper.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see Jasper Unbound. '''SPOILERS!''']]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jasper_unbound.jpg]][[/labelnote]]

* BossBanter: Whenever he's fought, his voice lines tend to mock the party repeatedly. [[spoiler: Even more so after transforming into Jasper Unbound.]]

* DidYouActuallyBelieve: Says this near verbatim before the Luminary and his allies can face Mordegon.

* DualWielding: Wields a pair of platinum swords in battle, though when he's faced the second time, he leaves one in his quarters, which can be found later during the Luminary and Hendrik's infiltration of Heliodor Castle.
* DuelBoss: [[spoiler: Hendrik's final confrontation with his spirit in Act 3 is a one-on-one duel.]]

* KickTheDog: Not only does he [[spoiler:set Cobblestone, the hero's hometown, on fire and razed it with cannonade, he had attempted to execute all of its inhabitants as well. Thankfully, Hendrik prevents the latter from happening and only imprisons them]].
** [[spoiler:While somewhat pragmatic in nature, he still cursed Placido into silence.]]
** You have to stoop to a pretty deep low to [[spoiler:make an illusion of a deceased party member to try and break morale and expect it to work.]]

* MasterOfIllusion: [[spoiler:As part of his skill set in Act 2, though certainly likes to think he is one. The only reason his illusions work when he confronted the Luninary and Hendrik at Heliodor Castle in the beginning of Act 2 was because [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Hendrik was too emotional]]. The other two times he used illusions was with the fake Veronica prior to his third boss fight and the 5 "revived" Spectral Sentinels the party previously defeated before they could fight Mordegon, and in both occasions, the party overpowered them.]]

* WeaponTombstone: In the Definitive Edition [[spoiler: after his now purified soul passes on, his platinum sword remains planted in the balcony of Heliodor Castle, with Hendrik even placing his old friend's emblem on it.]]

* BloodKnight: He greatly enjoys watching the good and innocent suffer. His invasion of Nautica is proof of that.

* PsychoForHire: He has no problem doing the dirty work.
* {{Sadist}}: He is one of the most sadistic villains in the game as well as the Dragon Quest franchise.

* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Because Alizarin was out suffocating any and all resistances in the sea and single-handedly bringing ocean travel to a halt, the people of Gondolia, Nautica, and Lonalulu all but crow over his defeat.
* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:Does not take his loss of his barrier well, then when he realized he lost to the Luminary, he uses the last of his strength to warn Mordegon the Luminary has returned. Now whether he heard or ''cared'' about Alizarin's warning can be a matter of debate.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/booga.jpg]]

* KavorkaMan: Zig-zagged. Humans find him rightfully repulsive, but he apparently genuinely ''is'' seen as a ladykiller and romantic extraordinaire within the monser community.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Booga turning Jade into his minion ended up giving Jade Re-Vamp once she's freed, a transformation that buffs all her stats for several turns.
* RingOnANecklace: For a lack of a better trope. He kept the Green Orb on his person as part of a necklace around his fat neck.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dqxi___indignus.png]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gyldygga.jpg]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tyriant.jpg]]

A group of six powerful monsters under the command of Jasper who were handpicked by Mordegon to serve as his generals during his takeover of Erdea. Each of them was entrusted with one of the six orbs. During their quest to retake the world from Mordegon, the Luminary and his allies defeat these generals and reclaim each of the orbs.

* BackForTheDead: Right before the final battle with Mordegon, the Sentinels are resurrected in a final effort to stop the heroes... And they are defeated as quickly as they were resurrected.

** Booga's Green Orb lets him cast [[ManaDrain Giga Drain Magic]], allowing him to drain your party's MP.

** Gyldygga contains a corruption of "gold", or yellow for this case.

* ChickMagnet: Several female [=NPCs=] gush about his looks, and his pretty face was a big enough influence to manipulate Krystalinda into assisting him with his plot in Sniflheim.

* DemonOfHumanOrigin: After his 'promotion' to Spectral Sentinel by Mordegon in Act 2, Jasper fully casts away his humanity to become a demon, gaining purple skin in the process. His Jasper Unbound transformation adds long sharp horns and wings to complete the look.

* FlunkyBoss: Occasionally summons a Balhib to aid him during the final main story battle with him.

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:In his final moments, thanks to some kind words from Hendrik.]]

* HistoryRepeats: Jasper's relationship to Hendrik is very similar to the one that Morcant and Erdwin had with each other. [[spoiler:The way his jealousy of a more renowned and physically capable but less intelligent friend brings about his fall to villainy essentially makes him Mordegon in miniature.]]

* {{Irony}}: Jasper's biggest desire was to be ''the'' star of Heliodor by exceeding Hendrik and getting the attention he feels he deserves. Whenever he's on screen, he'll go out of his way to [[LargeHam chew the scenery]], and is incredibly persistent [[spoiler: in trying to stop the heroes from reaching Mordegon in the Fortress of Fear at the end of Act 2.]] Fitting, then, that his [[spoiler: final]] demise [[spoiler: in Act 3 has him play a thoroughly bit role at the very beginning, and that his death only serves to motivate Hendrik. He'll do anything for attention, but gets very little at the end of his life.]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: He recalls an incident where [[spoiler:Hendrik, triumphant after returning from Dundrasil, returns to the castle showered by the adulation of the people. Jasper, also present, extends his hand in their childhood gesture of friendship, but Hendrik either doesn't notice or doesn't care, striding right past his friend and straight to the King. While this doesn't even slightly excuse the actions he'd go on to commit, it does illustrate that Jasper's resentment wasn't exactly built on nothing. The extra Definitive version quest involving him elaborates on this more revealing that Mordegon, in his guise as the King, intentionally started snubbing Jasper and favouring Hendrik specifically to drive a wedge between them and turn Jasper towards the darkness.]]
* KickTheDog: Not only does he [[spoiler:set Cobblestone, the hero's hometown, on fire, he attempts to execute all of its inhabitants as well. Thankfully, Hendrik prevents the latter from happening and only imprisons them]].

* MagicKnight: He is skilled with both swords and magic, especially [[CastingAShadow Zam]] and its upgrades.

* OlderThanTheyLook: He is the same age as Hendrik and yet appears significantly younger.

* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:He already knows that Carnelian is possessed by Mordegon by the time the Luminary first meets him and the kingdom of Heliodor. It doesn't stop him from trying to reveal him when defeated in the new timeline, however.]]
* ShootTheHostageTaker: What truly kills Jasper in the end was getting hit with the inner lights of the Luminary's party, after he tried to put the Luminary in a SadisticChoice between joining his friends or going alone to fight Mordegon.

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

* CursedItem: The origin of Gyldygga's powers is a cursed necklace said to "make sure gold is never far from their fingertips".

* SoundOnlyDeath: After an enraged Jade reveals she can access and control her monster transformation and remembers everything Booga did to her, she proceeds to kill Booga offscreen by presumably kicking him to pieces, with the rest of the party unwilling to even look at what she's doing. Even the Hero closes his eyes. All we see is the orb that was hanging off his neck roll away in the aftermath.

* CoolKey: Has the [[ReoccuringElement magic key]], which she uses as a magic focus to mesmerize party members. Once she is defeated, you take it and can open any red doors in the overworld with the magic key's symbol.

* ForcedTransformation: 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 does notes it's more difficult to transform someone the better a person they are, with Jade having taken him a lot of effort, which can be seen with how Jade is still human-looking and not a monster like other denizens of Octagonia have become.

* FlunkyBoss: Summons a Balhib to aid him during the final main story battle with him.

* HopelessBossFight: The battle against him at the Tree of Life is unwinnable. [[spoiler:This changes in Act 3 where the hero travels back in time to prevent Mordegon from getting the sword of the ancient hero.]]

* {{Irony}}: Jasper's biggest desire was to be ''the'' star of Heliodor by exceeding Hendrik and getting the attention he feels he deserves. Whenever he's on screen, he'll go out of his way to [[LargeHam chew the scenery]], and is incredibly persistent [[spoiler: in trying to stop the heroes from reaching Mordegon in the Fortress of Fear at the end of Act 2.]] Fitting, then, that his [[spoiler: final]] demise [[spoiler: in Act 3 has him play a thoroughly bit role at the very beginning, and that his death only serves to motivate Hendrik.]] He'll do anything for attention, [[spoiler: but gets very little at the end of his life.]]

* KickTheDog: Not only does he [[spoiler:set Cobblestone, the hero's hometown, on fire, he attempts to execute all of its inhabitants as well]]. Thankfully, Hendrik prevents the latter from happening [[spoiler:and only imprisons them]].

* EnemyWithout: Mia being rescued should have ended Gyldygga's existence, but Gyldygga still briefly returns as a separate entity alongside Mordegon's other generals in the Fortress of Fear.

* MidasTouch: Almost exactly like the original.

* StatusBuffDispel: Via Rake 'n' Break, which also damages one enemy.

* VoiceOfTheLegion: She speaks in tandem with her regular Mia voice and a beastly sounding voice after transforming into her OneWingedAngel form.

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

* 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]].

* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:Does not take his loss of his barrier well, then when he realized he lost to the Luminary, he uses the last of his strength to warn Mordegon the Luminary has returned. Now whether he heard or cared about Alizarin's warning can be a matter of debate.]]

* UndyingLoyalty: Say one thing for him, he doesn't have a treacherous bone in his body. Even as he dies, his only thought is to desperately warn Mordegon that the Luminary is still alive.

* ForcedTransformation: 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 does notes its more difficult to transform someone the better a person they are, with Jade having taken him a lot of effort.

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.

* {{Sadist}}: However, she is more interested in suffering she causes to those she steals from rather than valuables themselves.

* VerbalTic: She slightly slurs all of her sentences so that that many of the words end up having a "th" sound injected into them. Even her ''name'' is a slurred version of "[[{{Greed}} avarice]]"! Erik's character episode reveals that all monsters of her type speak like this.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: Unlike the Gloomnivore and Tatsunaga, she's nowhere to be found in the postgame despite not being a Spectral Sentinel and assumedly still being alive.]]

* AndIMustScream: Inflicts this on his King Irwin as he repeatedly relives the Fall Of Dundrasil.
* DarkIsEvil: A dark-purple beast with a demonic voice that tortures his victims.
* EmotionEater: He enjoys the taste of despair and even makes his victims as miserable as possible before eating.
* MindRape: His method of drawing out the despair as to make the victim relive their most painful memory nonstop.

* VillainousGlutton: He'll drag out the victims' suffering as long as he can just to get that perfect meal.

* LordBritishPostulate: After encountering him for yourself, Alizarin boasts that he is untouchable by mortal means thanks to the Red Orb infused into his lure. [[spoiler: Worked into the story. You cannot beat Jasper at the end of Act 1, but you're told ''why'' you can't do it, and going back in time to fight Jasper with that immunity thoroughly addressed is what kickstarts Act 3.]]

** Alizarin's Red Orb renders him invulnerable to harm and in his boss fight, let's him generate a [[FogOfDoom Crimson Cloud]] that [[DamageIncreasingDebuff increases the damage your party takes in battle.]]

* CastingAShadow: He fights primarily with Zam-class spells. [[spoiler:It's implied that Mordegon granted him dark magic in return for his services.]]

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Late in the game, he tries to dishearten the heroes by showing them [[spoiler: an apparition of Veronica, telling them that she hates them for letting her die and wishing them all dead.]] The initial shock aside, nobody falls for it, least of all Serena, who calmly explains that they all know [[spoiler: Veronica willingly gave her life to save them and believed in her heart that they would save the world without her.]] Jasper is furious that they saw through the ruse so easily.

* EvilIsPetty: His meddling in Sniflheim was not meant to impede the Luminary, but rather to get Hendrik killed. Given Krystalinda's recounting of events, this whole thing happened ''before'' the Luminary's quest began; it just took a while for Hendrik to get the news.

[[folder:Booga]]
!!Booga
->'''Voiced by:''' Timothy Watson (English), Creator/YuuichiNakamura (Japanese) [Definitive version]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/booga.jpg]]

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 by the Hare-Raising Suit's magic and turned into his personal servant. Later, the party defeats him in order to free Jade and regain the Green Orb.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Jade. The moment he saw her, it was lust at first sight. Naturally, Jade doesn't reciprocate his "affections".
-->'''Booga:''' You're ''goorgeous!'' Hair as glossy as a Great Sabrecat's coat... The flawlessly toned physique of a Gigantes... Oh yes, you're right up Booga's alley! We musn't waste another moment! Please! Say you'll be mine! Let me shower you with gushing lashings of affection every minute of every day. Forever and ever and ever!
-->'''Jade:''' Ugh, I can't think of anything worse.
* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite his gut, Booga is surprisingly agile, able to dodge a kick from Jade in her side story and will occasionally dodge your party's attacks during the boss fight. That said, running takes a lot out of him.
* ChivalrousPervert: While he's clearly a lecher, forcing Jade to wait on him in a skimpy bunny suit and all, Jade's side story in the Definitive version reveals that he is shockingly chaste; he didn't start holding hands with his girlfriend until after ''[[ExaggeratedTrope ten years]]'' of dating! [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything And when he first transforms Jade into his love slave, he starts giggling at the possibility of holding hands with her as well]]. He may be a disgusting pervert, but he most certainly takes his ''time'', enough that you can be certain that he didn't lay a finger on Jade during their time together.
* FatBastard: A rotund, sadistic demon who enjoys turning people into his personal pets.
* ForcedTransformation: 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 does notes its more difficult to transform someone the better a person they are, with Jade having taken him a lot of effort.
* ForTheEvulz: Initially played straight as rather than kill his enemies he sends them to a pocket dimension where they are forced to fight until their minds and bodies break, presumably simply because he enjoys it. Once this dimension is destroyed by Jade killing Boodica, and his casino gets going he becomes rather indirect compared to most monsters, with his plans apparently being to trick humans into enjoying the casino where they basically win all the time only to crush that happiness when they find that the "house" (him) always wins in the end as he gets control of them and turns them into his minions.
* HiddenDepths: Jade's sidestory reveals him to be shockingly romantic toward his girlfriend Boodica, with there being enough of his sappy writing to her to fill up an entire book, as well as ''extremely'' restrained when it comes to making relationships more intimate (he considers holding hands to be something done to commemorate a couple's tenth anniversary). He's also viewed as a genuine ladykiller and expert in all things romance by the rest of monsterkind.
* HoldingHands: He is so chaste that he considers holding hands an extraordinary step in developing a relationship. It is also something that he hopes to do with Jade some day after he brainwashes her.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's nasty in every attribute, even lusting over Jade despite already having a girlfriend.
* KavorkaMan: Zig-zagged. Humans find him rightfully repulsive, but he apparently genuinely ''is'' seen as a ladykiller and romantic extraordinaire within the monser community.
* LaughablyEvil: A threat, but an amusing one.
* ManaDrain: The Green Orb lets him sap large amounts of the party's MP for himself with Giga Drain Magic.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Booga turning Jade into his minion ended up giving Jade Re-Vamp once she's freed, a transformation that buffs all her stats for several turns.
* SickeninglySweethearts: With Boodica in Jade's sidestory.
* SoundOnlyDeath: After an enraged Jade reveals she can access and control her monster transformation and remembers everything Booga did to her, she proceeds to kill Booga offscreen by presumably kicking him to pieces, with the rest of the party unwilling to even look at what she's doing. Even the Hero closes his eyes. All we see is the orb that was hanging off his neck roll away in the aftermath.

Mordegon's general who stands guard at the gate of Mordegon's sky castle. The party defeats him in order to regain the Blue Orb.
----

* WeHardlyKnewYe: One of the Spectral Sentinels, but probably the one with the least screen time. He gets a bit more time to shine in Erik's sidestory as the one who found Erik and imprisoned him in the Rock of Wrong.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tyriant.jpg]]

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.

* ArtShift: He looks dramatically different from the other Undead foes in the game, being modeled more like Jasper and Hendrick (if they were skeletons).
* BaitAndSwitchBoss: He emerges from behind Carnelian's throne, after a series of scenes setting up Jasper to be the ''actual'' "usurper" of Heliodor Castle.
* DarkIsEvil: Uses explicitly Zam-type spells, can summon a shadow double of himself, and hates light with undying passion.
* DemBones: He is a skeletal monster wearing heavy armor.
* DoppelgangerAttack: Summons a weaker copy of himself during the battle. As he can perform 2 powerful CombinationAttack's with his copy once he gets pepped up, it is best to remove the copy quickly.
* DualWielding: Wields two blades.
* FaceDeathWithDespair: After his defeat, he begs the darkness not to leave him.
-->'''Tyriant:''' Gegh heh... (cough) Heh... N-Nooo! [[PleaseDontLeaveMe M-My darling darkness...! Do not leave me...!]] Do not let the light...prevail...!
* GlassEye: The Purple Orb, placed within his head, acts as one.
* TheNightThatNeverEnds: He is the source of it. Using the Purple Orb, Tyriant kept a thick blanket of dark clouds in the sky, keeping the land in perpetual darkness. Destroying him causes the clouds to lift.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Doesn't get much screen time compared to other Spectral Sentinels, particularly in the Definitive Version where Booga and Indignus get some additional scenes.

[[folder:Gyldygga]]
!!Gyldygga[[note]]Horus in the Italian translation[[/note]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Lauren Mote (English), Creator/InoriMinase (Japanese) [Definitive version]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gyldygga.jpg]]

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

* EnemyWithout: Mia being rescued should have ended Gyldygga's existence, but Gyldygga still briefly returns as a separate entity alongside Mordegon's other generals in the Fortress of Fear.
* FlunkyBoss: Summons a Gyldenaut and/or a Gyldenbritches during her boss fight.
* MeaningfulName: When said aloud, you get "Gold Digger".
** To somewhat preserve the pun in the Italian translation, the name is changed to Horus. Say it out loud, and it sounds like 'Oro', the Italian word for Gold.
* MidasTouch: Almost exactly like the original.
* OneWingedAngel: For her boss fight.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Appears to be a wolfish dragon, also made out of gold.
* RetGone: [[spoiler:In Act 3, where the events that caused Mia to turn into Gyldygga in the first place never happened.]]
* SamusIsAGirl: It's initially thought that Gyldygga is a male, but when confronted, it turns out to be [[spoiler:Mia, Erik's sister.]]
* StatusBuffDispel: Via Rake 'n' Break, which also damages one enemy.
* 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 Kaching Kaclang, an attack that turns whoever it hits into a golden statue, disabling him/her for two turns.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: She speaks in tandem with her regular Mia voice and a beastly sounding voice after transforming into her OneWingedAngel form.

!!!Minor Antagonists
[[folder:Jarvis]]
!!Jarvis
->'''Voiced by:''' Timothy Watson (English), Creator/KenyuHoriuchi (Japanese) [Definitive version]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jarvis.jpg]]

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 become his dark master's right hand man and "urn" his respect.

* DegradedBoss: Not too long after defeating him, you'll start encountering regular-enemy versions of him like the Jargon.
* DramaticIrony: He desires to collect a lot of magic, especially Veronica's so he can be [[spoiler:Mordegon's right hand man]], unaware that [[spoiler:Jasper already has the position.]]
* EnragedByIdiocy: He berates his Shadows for letting Veronica get away from his grasp.
--->'''Jarvis:''' Are you potty!? You come here and tell Jarvis that you let that lovely, juicy specimen escape, and you think an apology's gonna cut it? Ooh, this jars! D'you crackpots think sorcerers like Veronica come along often? D'you have any idea what we'll have to do to nab a specimen like that again? You knew I wanted to drain all her magic so I could urn the Lord of Shadows' respect when he came back! All my plans, shattered!
* {{Irony}}: He appears on Veronica's SP Scout during [[VideoGame/DragonQuestTact Dragon Quest Tact]]'s ''Dragon Quest XI'' event, even after what he did to her.
* LivingShadow: Has 3 of these serving as his minions.
* PungeonMaster: Much like the rest of his species, he primarily in pottery-themed wordplay.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's encountered very early on and dealt with in minutes, but he's the reason Veronica spends the whole game in the form of a child.
* StarterVillain: A LaughablyEvil, low tier minion, far removed from the deeper intrigue of the story, who can nonetheless prove a challenge to a low level party.

[[folder:Dora-in-Grey]]
!!Dora-in-Grey
->'''Voiced by:''' Alex Kelly (English), Creator/AiKayano (Japanese) [Definitive version]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7c1f86772c284c364d6e9a7d135a429b.png]]

The demon posing as a painting in the mural at the town of Phnom Nonh. It lures people to the mural by promising good fortune or disguising itself as an innocent child. Once its unwitting victims are at the mural, it sucks them into the world inside the painting and drains them of their life force in order to grow stronger.

* {{Blackmail}}: Attempted to do this in his youth, after finding out about King Carnelian's secret passageway from his room to the kitchens. Unfortunately for him, Hendrik got caught leaving his quarters an exposed them both before anything could come of it.
* BossBanter: Whenever he's fought, his voicelines tend to mock the party repeteadly. [[spoiler: Even more so after transforming into Jasper Unbound.]]

* ChickMagnet: Several female [=NPCs=] gush about his looks, and his pretty face alone was enough to manipulate Krystalinda into assisting him with his plot.

* HopelessBossFight: The battle against him at the Tree of Life is unwinnable. [[spoiler:This changes in the extra scenario where the hero travels back in time to prevent Mordegon from getting the sword of the ancient hero.]]

* {{Irony}}: Jasper's biggest desire was to be ''the'' star of Heliodor by exceeding Hendrik and getting the attention he feels he deserves. Whenever he's on screen, he'll go out of his way to [[LargeHam chew the scenery,]] and is incredibly persistent [[spoiler: in trying to stop the heroes from reaching Mordegon in the Fortress of Fear at the end of Act 2.]] Fitting, then, that his [[spoiler: final]] demise [[spoiler: in Act 3 has him play a thoroughly bit role at the very beginning, and that his death only serves to motivate Hendrik.]] He'll do anything for attention, [[spoiler: but gets very little at the end of his life.]]

* LordBritishPostulate: [[spoiler: Worked into the story. You cannot beat Jasper at the end of Act 1, but you're told ''why'' you can't do it, and going back in time to fight Jasper with that immunity addressed is what kickstarts Act 3.]]

* OneWingedAngel: In his final confrontation against the party, he transforms into a purple muscular demon with wings.
* PetTheDog: He spares the Luminary from him and the revived Spectral Sentinels' dark bindings so he can face Mordegon, though without his allies.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Hendrik were inseparable friends throughout most of their lives, and are still known as such by the general public, but they've grown distant from and even hostile to each other by the beginning of the game. Any pretensions about their friendship are thrown out the window after it is revealed that Jasper arranged for Hendrik's death, which Hendrik shows disappointment, but not surprise, over upon finding out. [[spoiler: Jasper's last moments show that both of them still hold affection for the other deep down.]]

* ChivalrousPervert: While he's clearly a lecher, forcing Jade to wait on him in a skimpy bunny suit and all, Jade's side story in the Definitive version reveals that he is shockingly chaste; he didn't start holding hands with his girlfriend until after ''[[ExaggeratedTrope ten years]]'' of dating! [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything And when he first transforms Jade into his love slave, he starts giggling at the possibility of holding hands with her as well]]. He may be a disgusting pervert, but he takes his ''time'', enough that you can be certain that he didn't lay a finger on Jade during their time together.

* ForcedTransformation: 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.

* SoundOnlyDeath: After an enraged Jade reveals she can access and control her monster transformation and remembers everything Booga did to her, she proceeds to kill Booga offscreen by presumably kicking him to pieces, the rest of the party unwilling to even look at what she's doing. Even the Hero closes his eyes. All we see is the orb that was part of his body roll away in the aftermath.

Mordegon's general who stands guard at the gate of Mordegon's sky castle.

%%* DoubleWeapon:

* WeHardlyKnewYe: One of the Spectral Sentinels, but probably the one with the least screen time. He gets a bit more time to shine in Erik's sidestory.

* TheNightThatNeverEnds: He is the source of it. Using the Purple Orb , Tyriant kept a thick blanket of dark clouds in the sky, keeping the land in perpetual darkness. Destroying him causes the clouds to lift.

* MeaningfulName: When said aloud, you get "GoldDigger".

* PungeonMaster: Speaks primarily in pottery-themed wordplay.

* 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]].

* TheNightThatNeverEnds: He is the source of it. Using the Purple Orb, Tyriant kept a thick blanket of dark clouds in the sky, keeping the land in perpetual darkness. Destroying him causes the clouds to lift.

* MagicKnight: He is skilled with both swords and magic.
