[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sq1_iwaoropenelep.png]]

* ShockAndAwe: Deals heavy Volt damage to the party with Voltwing (Thunderwing in the remake), which can also paralyze them.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sq1_forestcell.png]]

* AntiVillain: All the Wyvern does is minding her own business. In a sidequest, your guild ''is'' trying to steal one of her eggs, so it is only natural that [[MamaBear she will try to kill the party if she spots them stealing her children]]. And she is the very reason the Great Dragon hasn't stepped in the Primitive Jungle..

* UtilityPartyMember: While their damage output isn't as good as the other classes, they have access to all three foraging skills to allow for a party to gather materials to sell, on top of out-of-battle skills that make it easier to traverse the labyrinth. The remake also gives them Efficiency, which passively increases the potency of recovery items they use in battle. Combined with their high innate speed, they make for good emergency healers.

* ThePaladin: Protectors are known as Paladins in the Japanese version. They can equip the heaviest armor and most of their abilities revolve around protecting the rest of their party from harm. Their offensive power is decent at best compared to other classes, being bolstered by a ShieldBash skill, and they possess some basic healing abilities.

* StoneWall: The class is slow as molasses and can inflict decent damage at best (amplified with the Smite skill), but their HP and defense are excellent. While their offense will sometimes be the weakest of the front row, most Protectors will simply laugh at hits that would have overkilled other characters a few levels higher than they. They have skills that further increase their/ally's defense, attract enemy attacks towards themselves, resurrect themselves automatically once per battle, take hits for other, squishier units, and nullify, to add insult to (non)injury, physical attacks.

* PowerupLetdown: '''H. Touch''', as it heals for pitiful amounts and never heals past 40% HP. This is absent in the remake.

* StatusBuff: The standard HP regen and Immunize, which reduces all damage (likely intentionally despite some description ambiguity) and is a staple of many parties as a result. In ''Untold'', Immunize only reduces elemental damage and is weaker overall.

* ChoiceOfTwoWeapons: Swords or Axes. The class is known as Swordsman in the original Japanese, which is a little odd considering they can also use axes as well.

* FragileSpeedster: Possess the highest Agility stat among all the classes, but their offense options are rather lacking as they are designed more for support.

** Provoke, which (despite looking, at first glance, like the main point of the class) simply doesn't have enough of an effect to be worthwhile in the main games. On the other hand, it's one of the best abilities in ''Mystery Dungeon''.

* ShieldBash: When using Smite. The remake adds Shield Rush which is an area-hitting version of this.

* ChoiceOfTwoWeapons: Whips and Swords. Between these, whips are more iconic of the Dark Hunters.
* CriticalStatusBuff: The remake gives them Wrath Might, which increases their damage output should their health fall below a certain HP threshold.

* SeriesMascot: "Mediko" is a kind of "junior mascot" next to the Protector noted above; in the ''EOU II'' portrait DLC, Mediko is the only other classic character to get more than three portraits overall (clocking in at an impressive five).
** She also returns together with Shishou in ''EO V'' as a DLC portrait.

* StatusBuff: The standard HP regen and Immunize, which according to the game's text is only supposed to reduce elemental damage, but actually reduces ''all damage''. This made Immunize a GameBreaker, but only in the first game -- the remake makes it work completely as intended.

** The Anti(element) shields are actually a ''downgrade'' past level 5 (when they start making the element heal you instead of hurting you), since the most dangerous opponents have elemental attacks that inflict status effects, and you only avoid those status effects if you have the skill at exactly level 5 to reduce the damage to ''exactly'' zero. Doubles as a GuideDangIt, since the final boss is essentially impossible to beat without a Protector who has all three Anti(element) skills at exactly level 5. In the remake, skill levels past five instead lower TP cost and the skills absorb the element at max level.

* CatchPhrase: Expect to hear "Did you sign up a good crew? If not, you'll regret it later." quite a lot. He'll lampshade it later on, saying you're veteran explorers now and don't need his advice anymore.

* LegacyBossBattle: Outside of the first game and its remake, Fenrir appears in ''The Fafnir Knight'' as part of the "Treasures Untold" DLC BossRush and as the boss of the Alpha Plains side labyrinth.

* EvilKnockoff: Zig-zagged, as they are already villains to being with. You encounter much weaker clones of them protecting the resting place of the Forest Cell.

** Her occasional appearance in promo material for the other games, such as the punny final panel of the short comic at the back of ''EO 4'', reinforces this notion. [[spoiler:Not to mention the fact that she basically appears as one of the selectable Imperials.]]

* AntiVillain: All the Wyvern does is minding her own business. In a sidequest, your guild ''is'' trying to steal one of her eggs, so it is only natural that [[MamaBear she will try to kill the party if she spots them stealing her children]]. Not to mention, she is the very reason the Great Dragon hasn't stepped in the Primitive Jungle..

* ShockAndAwe: Sky Ray/Burning Ray[[labelnote:*]]高空からの閃光[[/labelnote]] deals Volt elemental damage to a target, and [[TheParalyzer may cause paralysis]].
* TailSlap: Tailwhil/Tail Strike[[labelnote:*]]テイルストライク[[/labelnote]] causes massive Bash damage to one party member, and splashes to adjacent ones.

* LegacyBossBattle: She appears as an optional quest boss in the Molten Cave in ''The Drowned City'' under the name "Wicked Queen". She's also part of the "Treasures Untold" quest in ''The Fafnir Knight'' alongside her ants, and the boss of the Seditious Colony side labyrinth in ''Nexus''.

* LegacyBossBattle: Returns as a Oceanic Quest boss in ''The Drowned City'', and is also part of the "Treasures Untold" quest in ''The Fafnir Knight''.

* LegacyBossBattle: One of the most recurring bosses in the series, appearing in every game except ''Legends of the Titan'' and ''Beyond the Myth''. It's a postgame boss in both versions of the second game as part of the sixth stratum, is an Oceanic Quest boss in ''The Drowned City'', and the guardian of the Giant's Ruins sub-labyrinth in ''Nexus''.

* LegacyBossBattle: It returns as an Oceanic Quest boss in ''The Drowned City'', but outside of that is has only appeared in the "Treasures Untold" BossRush in ''The Fafnir Knight''.

* HealThyself: Grown/Eternal Trunk regenerates 900 HP at the end of turn, and lasts 3 turns tops. He will use it when his HP drops to to %30, and only once.

** Resolve/King's Resolve removes the whole party buffs, and only uses it if the party has more than 5 distributed buffs.

* HealThyself: Grown/Eternal Trunk regenerates 900 HP at the end of turn over 3 turns.

* SpamAttack:
** Thorns/Thousand Nails deals moderate stab damage to random targets, and may hit 2-4 times. It is far more powerful than Cyclone.
** In ''The Millenium Girl'', he gest Tempest, which is an deadlier version of Thorns/Thousand Nails; It deals 5-7 random cut attacks across the party, and hits harder.

* StatusBuffDispel: Can randomly use Resolve/King's Resolve to remove all the party buffs, should they have large amounts of buffs.

!!Rosa (ローザ)
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eou10.png]]
The default guildkeeper. Specializes in cordials that regenerate stats for your party in battle. The gifts she gives you tend to be Medica and various oils.

* {{Meido}}: In both looks and personality.
* RelationshipValues: The game will helpfully point out when your relationship with Rosa has increased or reached its max value (which happens very soon into the game). This results only in the gifts and teas generally being of better quality and a few new voice clips that make her sound a bit more like a Doting Housewife (with no actual romance involved).

!!Austin (オースティン)
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eou11.png]]
A master detective and possible guildkeeper after you complete his quest-tree, who acts like he owns the place and sees no problem with performing experiments in it. Specializes in telling the party stories that give one bonus per battle, whether it be negating one status ailment per party member, doing the same for binds, or resurrecting the whole team if wiped out. His gifts are low to mid level accessories.
----
* ArchEnemy: Has in one Baroudeur. Austin describes him as a criminial genius and a MasterOfDisguise whose only distinguishing characteristic is his twisted lip. While you can't act upon or tell Austin about it, one of the regular bar patrons is called a 'man with a twisted lip', who will regularly ask your party about Austin and his activities.
** [[spoiler:Once you max out his RelationshipValues, Austin will tell you he confronted Baroudeur at the top of a waterfall, ending with the latter's apparent death. Austin will express mild doubt, stating he thought it would take more to stop a man like Baroudeur. True enough, if you to the Golden Deer Pub afterwards the man with the twisted lip is gone, but a 'girl with a strange smile' will be there asking after Austin. Talk about a MasterOfDisguide indeed...]]
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: He has this to say when he's about to start offering a bindblocking service:
-->It's a fact that you'll want to avoid having your arms and legs bound as much as possible. In the forest, at least.
** It is also possible for him to give you a ring accessory, tell you that it's as thanks for everything you've done to him, and this being accompanied with the "This is something special"-voice clip.
* {{Expy}}: Of Literature/SherlockHolmes. (Though he tried having a Watson with him, it apparently didn't work out.)
* HeroOfAnotherStory: As your relationship value increases, he'll have one of these, which culminates in [[spoiler:Baroudeur (a Moriarty expy)'s apparent death, subsequent 'revival', AndTheAdventureContinues]].
* MasterOfDisguise: He briefly impersonates Valerie to demonstrate that, according to him, it's not a difficult feat to replicate.
* RelationshipValues: Like with Rosa. He starts off sounding irritated whenever you visit, you know, ''your own guildhouse'', but eventually warms up to you and even asks "Leavin' already?"

!!M.I.K.E. (マイク)
The main computer system for the ancient Gladsheim ruins, which the Highlander was hired to investigate.
----

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Gladsheim Bosses]]
!!Coeurl (クァール)
A creature kept by Gladsheim's researchers for unknown reasons, until he escaped captivity and was let free to roam around the ruins.

* FlunkyBoss: If you don't kill the 2 Carmine Beaks flaking it, they'll quickly join Coeurl once you engage him. And this will make the fight a lot harder, since they are [=FOEs=].
* ForcedSleep: Whenever his HP is low, Coeurl will use Dark Cradle to inflict Sleep on the party. Usually followed by Avidya Apostle on the next turn.
* InvisibleMonsters: You can't hit this guy if you don't turn up the lights.
* HopelessBossFight: Zig-zagged. Since Coeurl hides in the darkness, he cannot be damaged normally, and you're supposed to run away from the fight. It's still possible to kill him via poison, but that would take a long-ass time.
* PantheraAwesome: Resembles a big black panther.

!!Queen Bee (クイーンビー)

The ruler of a bee colony in Gladsheim.

* InsectQueen: The Queen Bee serves as the second boss of the remake-exclusive Gladsheim. She's not aggresive by nature, but since she's nesting in the power source (which your party needs to activate), fighting her will be an unfortunate necessity.
* NonMaliciousMonster: This creature is not really hostile, but the party is forced to fight her since the Queen Bee is nesting on Gladsheim's power, causing critical power surge all over the place. Naturally, she fights back, and is more than capable to do so.
* PoisonousPerson: Spreading Shot will randomly hit 2-4 targets and may also inflict Poison.

!!Gudanna (グアンナ)

A bull-like creature found on the third floor of Gladsheim.

* ShockAndAwe: Thunderstrike deals Volt damage to the entire party.
* StatusBuff: Wild Breath increases his attack power for 3 turns.

!!Gimle (ギムレー)

An enormous tank-turret stored in the lower reaches of Gladsheim. [[spoiler: M.I.K.E. orders it to attack your party once you oppose its plans to activate Gungnir.]]

* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: All of Ren's skills can be learnt by playable Bushidous, but some of hers have additional effects.
** Her Kesagiri/Slantwise Cut hits random targets 3 to 6 times (4-6 in the remake). Yours only can hit an enemy once.

* SecretAIMoves: Tlachtga has Curse/Chaos Curse, which may inflict random status ailments on the entire party (except Instant Death). Your Hexers can't learn this skill.

!!Wyvern (ワイバーン)
->'''Also appears in''': ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIIHeroesOfLagaard II]]'', ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyNexus Nexus]]''
A draconic beast who nests midway through the Primitive Jungle.
----
* BeefGate: The Wyvern can technically be fought as soon as it's encountered during the main quest, but its immense stats and level advantage ensure that it can't be beaten for a long time.
* LegacyBossBattle: She shows up as postgame quest boss in ''Heroes of Lagaard'' and its remake. In ''Nexus'', she notably takes over as the guardian of the Primitive Jungle (with Cernunnos being relocated to the Lush Woodlands).

!!Golem (ゴーレム)
->'''Also known as''': Silver Gate Guard (銀色の門)
->'''Other variations''': Golden Gate Guard (金色の門兵)
->'''Also appears in''': ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIIHeroesOfLagaard II]]'', ''Mobile'', ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIIITheDrownedCity III]]'', ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyNexus Nexus]]''

An animated stone giant notorious for its powerful defenses and regenerative capabilities.

* CounterAttack: Some of its later appearances give it an elemental counter it can throw out randomly, for the purposes of one-shotting any SquishyWizard who exploits its elemental damage weakness.
* LegacyBossBattle: One of the most recurring bosses in the series, appearing in every game except ''Legends of the Titan'' and ''Beyond the Myth''. It's a postgame boss in both versions of the second game as part of the sixth stratum, is an Oceanic Quest boss in ''The Drowned City'', and the guardian of the Giant's Ruins sub-labyrinth in ''Nexus''.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are fully red.
* RevivingEnemy: A consistent trait across all of Golem's appearances is the ability to restore itself up to half its max health the first time it gets "defeated".
* OneSteveLimit: Averted in the Japanese versions with the introduction of the Amalgolem in the fifth game. They share the exact same name, which may be the reason the Golem from ''V'' received a DubNameChange.
* PaletteSwap: Another version of him called Silver Gate Guard appears as a MiniBoss in the mobile game. And the third mandatory boss of the Mobile game is a golden variant of him.

!!Iwaoropenelep (イワォロペネレプ)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sq1_iwaoropenelep.png]]
->'''Also appears in''': ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIVLegendsOfTheTitan IV]]'', ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIIHeroesOfLagaard Untold II]]'', ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyNexus Nexus]]''
The guardian of the Forest Folk.
----

!!Manticore (マンティコア)
->'''Also appears in''': ''Mobile'', ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIIITheDrownedCity III]]'', ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIIHeroesOfLagaard Untold II]]'',
->'''Other variations''': Super Beast (超獣)
A tough-skinned hybrid beast who specializes in inflicting dangerous ailments.

* LegacyBossBattle: It returns as an Oceanic Quest boss in ''The Drowned City'', but outside of that is has only appeared in the "Treasures Untold" BossRush in ''The Fafnir Knight''.
* InformedAbility: Supposedly he can [[ItCanThink speak]], but is never shown doing that.
* PaletteSwap: A green-colored version called Super Beast appears in the mobile game.
* PoisonousPerson: Can inflict poison to the whole party with his ranged stab attack Poison/Poison Tail.
* TakenForGranite: With Petrify/Petrivoice, he has a chance to petrify the entire party in a shot. This skill is only available to the Manticore in the first game, although in Nexus he gets Petravoice, which may induce either petrify or panic to the party.

!!Alraune (アルルーナ)
->'''Also appears in''': ''Mobile'', ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIIITheDrownedCity III]]'', ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIIHeroesOfLagaard Untold II]]'' , ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyNexus Nexus]]''
->'''Other variations''': Eriophylla (エリオフィラ)
A toxified Forest Folk merged with a flower who uses a wide variety of attacks.

* LegacyBossBattle: She appears as a post-game quest boss in ''The Drowned City'', as part of the DLC BossRush in ''The Fafnir Knight'', and as the guardian of the Blossom Bridge optional dungeon in ''Nexus''.
* PaletteSwap: She herself does not appear in the mobile game, but a recolored version of her called Eriophylla.

!!Elemental Dragons
!!!Great Dragon (偉大なる赤竜, ''Great Red Dragon'')
!!!Blizzard King (氷嵐の支配者, ''He Who Rules Over Blizzards'')
!!!Storm Emperor (雷鳴と共に現る者, ''He Who Appears With Thunder'')
->'''Also appear in''': ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIIHeroesOfLagaard II]]'', ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIIITheDrownedCity III]]'', ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIVLegendsOfTheTitan IV]]'', ''Mystery Dungeon'', ''[[VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyNexus Nexus]]''
A triad of legendary dragons specializing in each of the three elements, consisting of the fiery Great Dragon, the frozen Blizzard King, and the electrified Storm Emperor. They appear as superbosses in almost every game in the series.

* DubNameChange: The trio was originally known as Wyrm (Great Dragon), Drake (Blizzard King), and Dragon (Storm Emperor) for the DS era of the series, getting their current names starting with ''Legends of the Titan'', which do resemble their Japanese names a bit more.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** The dragons didn't start increasing characters' level caps upon defeat until ''The Drowned City'', since increasing the cap wasn't possible in the first game and was tied to retirement in the second.
** The first game features DegradedBoss "clone" versions of the dragons that were fought in the leadup to the TrueFinalBoss. While these were retained in ''The Millenium Girl'' for consistency, the concept isn't present in any other game.
* EvilKnockoff: Zig-zagged, as they are already villains to being with. You encounter much weaker clones of them protecting the resting place of the Forest Cell.
* FireIceLightning: Each dragon focuses on one of the elemental damage types, often at a level so powerful that defensive classes' "Wall" skills are necessary to survive them.
* LegacyBossBattle: The sole mainline game the dragons aren't in is ''Beyond the Myth'' (which deliberately includes no enemies from previous installments); they even appear in ''Etrian Mystery Dungeon''. They are also absent in the mobile game (and replaced by some [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Suspiciously Similar Substitutes]]).
* MultipleHeadCase: The Blizzard King has three heads, each one with three yellow eyes.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: They don't show up in the mobile game, but a trio of post-game dragon bosses appear in their stead. They all share the [[PaletteSwap same design, but recolored]]; a bipedal and muscular dragon with his skull fully exposed.
** The Great Dragon's substitute is called He Who Manipulates The Explosive Flames [[note]]爆炎を操る者[[/note]].
** The Blizzard King's replacement is called He Who Spreads the Frost [[note]]氷陣を敷く者[[/note]].
** The Storm Emperor's stand-in is called He Who Wields The Thunder Blade [[note]]雷刃を駆る者[[/note]].
* TokenEvilTeammate: They are all to be feared on their own right, but the Blizzard King is notorious for his actions throughtout the franchise. He's been involved in the deaths of tons of side characters. And unlike the Great Dragon and Storm Emperor who simply react to human hostility, it is implied that the Blizzard King is actively seeking to harm them and other similar races.


!!Yggdrasil Core (フォレスト・セル, ''Forest Cell'')
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sq1_forestcell.png]]

The core of the Yggdrassil Tree, corrupted by all the pollution it absorbed.

* DubNameChange: Called Forest Cell in Japan, and renamed Primevil in the localization. In ''The Millenium Girl'', the name is changed to Yggdrasil Core (although there is a cutscene where its Japanese name is displayed on a computer screen).
* FinalBoss: Of the Story Mode from ''The Millenium Girl''. When fighting it in this context, its attack and defense are dropped for both phases, its health is drastically lowered for phase 1, and the party’s offences are just as greatly increased for phase 2.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: There's nothing that even implies it exists before you fight it in the original, nor are you ever given much information about it afterwards. Averted in ''The Millenium Girl'', where it plays a much bigger role in the Story Mode.
* OneHitKill: Always starts the fight with the party-wide Necrosis skill, which can inflict instant death if it lands. While the initial hit rate is low, it will eventually use a buff to increase its chance of landing ailments. If the buff is not dealth with before it uses Necrosis again you're looking at an almost guaranteed party wipe.
* StatusBuffDispel: Can randomly use Resolve/King's Resolve to remove all the party buffs, should they have large amounts of buffs.
* {{Superboss}}: The Yggdrasil Core hides at the very bottom of the Labyrinth. It is much stronger than Etreant or the three dragons, having access to many party-wiping abilities such as Necrosis, requiring the player has advanced knowledge of the game’s mechanics just to (maybe) stand toe-to-toe with it.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Gets a new skill called Armageddon in the remake, which can easily hit for thousands of damage while your HP is capped at three digits without the use of buffs. Worse yet, it is typeless damage meaning it can't be resisted by any means. Most strategies revolve around killing it before it evers gets to use this attack.

The Highlander is the main character of ''The Millennium Girl'''s Story Mode. He hails from a respected tribe from afar. When Radha Hall requests aid, he is sent over to help Etria. The Highlander class specializes in both attacks and buffs, though many come with [[CastFromHitPoints a small price in HP]].

->'''Ren voiced by''': Creator/HiromiHirata (Drama CD, ''The Millennium Girl''; Japanese), Minae Noji (''The Millenium Girl''; English)\\
'''Tlachga voiced by''': Creator/KanaAsumi (Drama CD, ''The Millennium Girl''; Japanese & English)
Ren & Tlachtga are two veteran adventurers who work for the Etrian government, the Radha. They are usually stationed in the labyrinth to prevent adventurers to go too far without permission. Ren is a Ronin, and Tlachtga is a Hexer.

* ATasteOfPower: While in the party during the mapping mission in ''The Millennium Girl'', their levels are in the early thirties.
* TheComicallySerious: Unnoticeable in the game itself due to the low resolution, but take a look at their in-battle illustrations in the official artbook and you will notice their facial expressions are rather silly. This is averted in the remake, where their 3D models have more serious-looking facial expressions. The HD remaster kept said funny expressions.
* DualBoss: Confronted together early in the fifth stratum. The paired characters use skills based on certain explorer classes, so they also qualify as {{Mirror Boss}}es; and by the time you face them you realize their intentions aren't as benevolent as you originally thought.
* DubNameChange: Tlachtga's name in Japan is Tusukur.
* CityGuards: [[spoiler:Including one instance where they try to ''kill you'' for trying to go deeper.]]
* CrutchCharacter: Don't rely on them to much because they're not going to stick with you for long.
* FieryRedhead: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Tlachtga. She's very soft-spoken and somewhat shy.
* GuestStarPartyMember: They're the Highlander's first party members in ''The Millennium Girl'' during the first mission.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:The reason for them opposing the party in the fifth stratum.]]
--> [[spoiler:'''Ren''': The town only prospers from the people burning to discover the Labyrinth's secret. Do you understand now? No one must be allowed to actually solve the forest's mysteries. Curiosity is welcome up to a point, but those who learn too much are troublesome... Thus, the Radha has charged us with eliminating you before you learn the truth of Yggdrasil.]]
* IaijutsuPractitioner: Of the three Ronin stances, Ren's skills are focused on the Iai/Drawing Stance.
* MirrorBoss: Can be invoked by the player by including a Ronin and Hexer in the party.
* SecretAIMoves: Tlachtga has Curse/Chaos Curse, which may inflict random status ailments on the entire party (except Instant Death). Your Hexers can't learn this skill.
