[[folder:In General]]
!!The Chronophage
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ez_chronophage_anime.png]]

A space monster that passes through the universe and devours the time of planets, rewinding them to an earlier state and leaving alternate histories in their place.

* AccidentalHero: [[spoiler:By eating Mother's time and turning her back into Earth by the time Ziggy reached her, the Chronophage is unwittingly responsible for [[CreateYourOwnHero creating]] a [[TemporalDuplication temporal duplicate]] of Shiki whom Ziggy rescued, saving Shiki from dying like the original Shiki did when Earth went into Overdrive 20,000 years ago.]]
* BeastOfTheApocalypse: Any world caught in the Chronophage's path suffers [[ApocalypseHow a planetary level Class Z]], and nothing can stop it. The only way for anyone to save themselves from this creature is to get far, far out of its way.
* ClockRoaches: As revealed in the Lendard arc, [[spoiler:the Chronophage is attracted to planets where someone has gone against the flow of time, since it can sense time fluctuations and home in on them like a beacon. Such is the case with Rebecca's time-leaping, though it's not necessarily a guarantee one will appear.]]
* CreateYourOwnHero: [[spoiler:The Chronophage is the reason that Shiki--who is actually a [[TemporalDuplication temporal duplicate]] of a human who died as an infant when Earth changed into Mother 20,000 years ago--was able to be taken in by his own future self, since he wouldn't have existed had the Chronophage not eaten over 20,000 years of Mother's time and changed her back into Earth.]]
* DiabolusExMachina: The Chronophage shows up in the Guilst arc while the ''Edens Zero'' crew is in the middle of rescuing Sister, leading to a harrowing escape scene. This creature's actions also unleash Drakken Joe into the universe when he's forced to escape the planet as well.
* DubNameChange: It's known in the series' native Japanese language as ''Tokihami'', which roughly means "time eater" in much the same way as its English name.
* EldritchAbomination: Its nature and abilities are completely alien. The first image of it feeding on a planet only reveals a [[DraconicAbomination strange, vaguely draconic shape]] made of energy ribbons. It reappears in the Guilst arc with more defined serpentine traits, with its most discernible feature being a gaping maw full of sharp teeth that unhinges like a snake when it eats a planet.
* EnergyBeings: Its body has no physical mass, evidenced by the way one swallows Guilst whole and moves straight through it while the planet remains in the same spot.
* GreaterScopeVillain: The Chronophage is considered to be a greater threat to the cosmos than any of the villains the heroes face, simply because absolutely nothing can be done to avoid or undo the damage it causes by erasing planets and displacing parts of history. [[spoiler:The Chronophage is also the reason that Ziggy's mission of heading to Universe Zero and saving Mother ended with him crashing onto Granbell and being TrappedInThePast without his memories, setting up the events that lead to Ziggy's adoption of Shiki, the creation of the Four Shining Stars, and the construction of the BigBad, the ''Edens One''.]]
* MeaningfulName: The word "Chronophage" means "time-consuming", which fits its [[SpacetimeEater description]] perfectly.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: The anime adaptation gives the Chronophage a red and black coloration to go with its nature as a great cosmic evil.
* SingleSpecimenSpecies: The Chronophage is the only one of its kind. This leads to a DubInducedPlotHole across all official English translations that posit there is more than one Chronophage, which persists until the final arc when [[spoiler:Shiki makes it his mission to destroy the Chronophage to end its to the cosmos menace for good.]]
* SpacetimeEater: It devours the time of planets they visit, permanently rewinding those planets to an earlier state and [[TemporalDulication creating a copy of everything on those planets at that point in history]]. The only thing that remains of the planet's original form becomes a cloud-like energy field called a "spacetime wall", which makes leaving the planet impossible for all but the most skilled pilots.
* TemporalDuplication: As a side effect of the Chronophage eating a planet's time, it replaces said planet with an older copy of itself and everyone who lived on it up to the point where the Chronophage finishes eating its history, all without triggering a TemporalParadox since the past remains changed. Such is how a younger version of Weisz is able to leave the planet and [[DuplicateDivergence live a radically different life]] without affecting his present-day self, who escaped the planet.

* MalevolentMaskedWoman: She wears a cat-eared mask with no facial features except a single, glaring, pupilless eye surrounded by crack-like veins.
* RapunzelHair: She has long, wavy hair that nearly reaches the base of her feet.
* SamusIsAGirl: The core of the Chronophage is a mysterious woman whose desire to regain her lost time fuels its hunger for the time of planets.

!Heavenly Knights of the Dancing Sakura

[[folder:In General]]
!!Heavenly Knights of the Dancing Sakura
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ez_heavenly_knights.png]]

An order of twelve heroes who lived and protected the Sakura Cosmos during the Dark Ages. Its members are memorialized as colossi at Iron Hill, a monumental satellite that orbits Blue Garden.

* AmbiguousGender: The statues are completely covered in armor from head to toe, so it's impossible to tell the gender ratio from sight.
* BadassCape: At least eight members have worn them, if their colossi are anything to go by.
* MemorialStatue: Iron Hill is a colossal, cherry blossom-shaped satellite with a statue of each Knight standing at the tip of one of its petals, serving to "guard" Blue Garden as they supposedly did during the Dark Ages. It's such an enormous construct that Hermit looks to be about the size of an ant when perched on top of one of the colossi's heads.
* PrecursorHeroes: They're well known to have guarded the Sakura Cosmos during the Dark Ages.
* SinisterScythe: One of the Knights' statues is shown carrying one.
* StaffOfAuthority: The hero Arcelik allegedly carried an elaborate staff with a bird of prey perched on top of it.

[[folder:Dragons]]
!!Dragons
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ez_dragons_anime.png]]

Gargantuan creatures that soar through the cosmos like comets. Countless dragons swarm in a hazardous region of space bordering the Sakura Cosmos called Dragonfall.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: Rebecca's ''Aqua Wing'' is hardly as big as a dragon's eyeball, yet a dragon itself is about the size of a firefly compared to [[GiantWoman Mother]].
* BreathWeapon: The dragons built by God Acnoella can fire a WaveMotionGun from their mouths as if they were breathing fire.
* CyberneticMythicalBeast: If not for the fact that they're confirmed to be living, independent creatures, one could easily assume dragons to be spaceships in the shape of one.
* GiantFlyer: A variant that's dreadnaught-sized and flies through space.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Dragons are among some of the most powerful entities in the series, marked by their universally golden coloration.
* MechaMooks: God Acnoella mass-produces dragons through her Möbius System, making them more resilient and destructive than the ones in Dragonfall.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Dragons in ''EDENS ZERO'' are {{Cybernetic Mythical Beast}}s that live exclusively in space and can devour spaceships whole.
* RedHerring: The series' introductory scene features Shiki, Ziggy, and Michael spotting what appears to be a comet while stargazing, and questioning whether or not it's really a dragon. By the end of the first chapter/episode, it appears to be confirmed as a dragon when Shiki has his first proper sighting of one after mistaking it for a comet. Just before the final arc, however, the scene [[OnceMoreWithClarity repeats]] to show what Shiki saw that day was actually [[spoiler:neither a dragon nor a comet; it was the ''Edens Zero'' itself traveling back in time to Universe Zero.]]
* ThatsNoMoon: They're so massive and luminous that they can easily be mistaken for comets from a distance.
* WaveMotionGun: God Acnoella's dragons have a hyperthermic laser beam as a BreathWeapon, which can instantly incinerate several spaceships at once.

[[folder:Kawpicatt [=S4=]]]
!!Kawpicatt [=S4=]

Mimetic alien parasites that copy the appearances of humans. They're considered to be pests due to their tendency to infest ships.

* CombatTentacles: Their forearms can change into tentacles that extend and secrete adhesive slime to attack and ensnare their victims.
* DubNameChange: "Kawpicatt" is a close approximation of their original Japanese name, ''Nīteru'', which is a [[PunnyName pun]] on the word ''niteru'', meaning "similar-looking".
* OctopoidAliens: Shiki thinks they're some kind of space octopus going by their tentacle limbs, though when one reverts to its actual form, it's a small, slimy {{oculothorax}}.
* PunnyName: "Kawpicatt" is a corruption of the word "copycat", suiting their nature as mimickers.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: The Kawpicatts' default form is that of a tiny little BlobMonster with a single eye.
* {{Shapeshifting}}: They can mimic the appearance of humans using traces of DNA. Once incapacitated, they revert to their base forms.
* SkullForAHead: The Kawpicatt mimicking Elsie has a terrifying skull face with GlowingEyesOfDoom.
* WakeUpCallBoss: The one imitating Elsie is the first opponent Shiki faces whom he truly struggles against. It takes awakening his partial [[SuperMode Overdrive]] for the first time in order to defeat it, and even then, Elsie boasts that the creature is far weaker than she is.
* ZombieGait: They slowly shamble around like zombies, though their CombatTentacles help pick up the slack with their elasticity and long reach.

[[folder:TB 7000]]
!!TB 7000

A training android that can copy the appearance, personality, and combat abilities of any fighter.

* DittoFighter: The TB 7000 can be programmed with the information of any warrior, mimicking not just their techniques, but their appearance, voice, behavior, and memories. The only things they can't account for are raw power and skill, which is how Homura is able to beat a TB 7000 disguised as a replica of her MasterSwordswoman teacher.
* HolographicDisguise: This bot uses holograms to convincingly pass off as anyone the programmer wants.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Xiaomei [[InvokedTrope invokes]] and [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructs]] this trope by programming a TB 7000 to act like a replica of Valkyrie, which shares all of her knowledge and memories of Homura with the real version, but none of the emotional attachment. This serves as a warning to the crew of what they would get if they ever tried to bring Valkyrie BackFromTheDead.

!20,000 Years Ago (Unmarked Spoilers)

[[folder:The Eight Precursors]]
!!The Eight Precursors

A group of eight humans who lived on Earth before its transformation into Mother 20,000 years ago. Ziggy discovered their bodies along with Shiki after the Chronophage briefly reverted Mother to her planetary state, using them as the basis for the Four Shining Stars and Four Dark Stars.

* DeathByOriginStory: They gave their lives to ensure humans like Shiki could have a future, while the Four Shining Stars and Four Dark Stars were built in their image.
* NoFullNameGiven: Only their first names are known, excepting Killer's human model whose name isn't mentioned.
* PosthumousCharacter: Flashbacks show that they cooperated to develop the Ether Overdrive theory that transformed Earth into Mother 20,000 years ago. Sadly, they still died when Earth was destroyed by natural disasters.
* PrecursorHeroes: Although most of them were ordinary citizens of Earth, their efforts to Overdrive their planet directly led to the creation of Mother and the Grand Shiki Cosmos.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: They're only seen alive in flashbacks from 20,000 years ago, but their actions are crucial to the creation of Mother and the Grand Shiki Cosmos. Ziggy also used the data he gathered from them to create the Four Shining Stars and the Four Dark Stars.
* TogetherInDeath: As Earth was being destroyed, the eight of them stayed together until their final moments. Ziggy discovered their bodies, all closely lying together in the same room.

* DisappearedDad: He died when his son Shiki was a baby.
* HappilyMarried: He was married to Regret, and they looked happy together.

!!Ivry

A woman who was college friends with Regret and Yuna. To cure her terminal illness, Yuna used her as a test subject for Ether treatment. She was Sister's model.

* CheatedDeathDiedAnyway: Cooper used Ether therapy to cure Ivry of her terminal illness, but she still died when Earth was destroyed by natural disasters.
* DelicateAndSickly: Ivry suffered from a SoapOperaDisease that left her weak and bed-ridden, a far cry from her brash and energetic android duplicate. After Cooper cured her, she behaved closer to how Sister does.
* IOweYouMyLife: After getting cured of her SoapOperaDisease thanks to her friends and Cooper, Ivry spent the last months before Earth's destruction trying to make it up to them all.
* UnwittingTestSubject: Yuna used Ivry as a guinea pig while Ivry was undergoing an experimental Ether treatment to be cured of her terminal illness, which helped Yuna's research in sending Earth into Overdrive.

!!Cooper

The doctor who healed Ivry from her illness. He was Clown's model.

* AccidentalHero: Cooper was the first man on Earth to practice Ether therapy--stimulating a person's Ether to remove all abnormalities from it--as a way of stopping an unknown plague with no known cure. While this is heroic in and of itself, it also gave Yuna and Mio the idea to use the same method on their dying planet's Ether to send it into Overdrive and save it from total ruin.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: When Earth was being destroyed, Cooper prioritized getting his patients to safety instead of trying to save himself.
* NiceGuy: He was a very kindhearted and selfless man who was devoted to saving his patients.
* SuperDoc: He was a master-class surgeon people called an "acrobat of operation", and successfully cured Ivry of a seemingly untreatable disease by stimulating her body's Ether, something no other doctor had put into practice before.

* {{Joshikousei}}: She was a young Japanese girl and wore a classical SailorFuku female school uniform.
* TeenGenius: Mio was a computer genius capable of hacking into the Large Hadron Collider and using it to send the Earth into Overdrive.
* TokenMinority: Mio and her ''senpai'' were the only Japanese among the eight PrecursorHeroes, as the others were American.

!!Mio's ''Senpai''

An upperclassman from Mio's school. He was Killer's model.

* NoNameGiven: Killer's human model is only addressed as Mio's ''senpai''.

!!Yuna

An American physicist who develop the Ether theory when Earth was heading towards destruction. She was Valkyrie's model.

* TheAce: Yuna was both a renowned physicist and a professional surfer.
* IgnoredExpert: Yuna scientifically proved the existence of Ether beyond all doubt, yet her plan to replenish Earth's Ether by sending the planet into Overdrive didn't receive the government's approval, as they deemed it to be insane. When the Earth started getting destroyed by worldwide natural disasters as a result, [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight Yuna decided to force an Overdrive anyway]].

!!Howard

An American surfer who had a close relationship with Yuna. He was Brigandine's model.
----
* AmbiguouslyRelated: He has the same skin and hair tone as Yuna, and they had a close and trusting friendship, but nothing is said for certain about how the two were connected.
* SatelliteCharacter: Compared to all the others, Howard has no role or agency outside his support for Yuna.
* SurferDude: {{Downplayed}}. He doesn't speak like a stereotypical surfer, but has the laid-back and simple-minded attitude, and makes surfing a part of his identity.

* SpacetimeEater: It devours the time of planets they visit, permanently rewinding those planets to an earlier state. The only thing that remains of the planet's original form becomes a cloud-like energy field called a "spacetime wall", which makes leaving the planet impossible for all but the most skilled pilots.
