Hopefully I'll remember to come back later to finish the Summoners section when I remember the appropriate tropes.


* EliteMooks: More powerful than the regular enemies you fight like Bandits, Hobbes, Balverines. In fact Minions are the strongest enemies that can be summoned with the Summon spell.

Added DiffLines:

* FearlessFool: It's mentioned they fear nothing except their master and the Dreadwings.


Added DiffLines:

* TheVoiceless: They make no noise other than metallic noises from their armor plates grinding against each other. It's not clear if they can actually talk.

[[folder: Summoners]]
!! '''Summoners'''

In the times of the [[{{Precursors}} Old Kingdom]], an evil Will user named Halik was cast out for his dangerous powers. In revenge he created incredibly dangerous monsters by reanimating the corpses of fallen warriors. Though Halik was the summoner, his creations eventually carried on his title. They show up in ''The Lost Chapters'', having allied themselves to Jack of Blades.

* BossInMookClothing: Straddle the line between EliteMooks and full-on mini-bosses, they're definitely a late game threat. In fact they have 6000 HP (by comparison, Ice and Rock trolls have 5000!).
* TheDreaded: Their reappearance in Albion centuries after the fall of the Old Kingdom is cause for alarm, and even Scythe is worried.
* ShockAndAwe: They have lightning attacks, which do x3 damage against you if you're wearing plate armor ([[LogicalWeakness because metal is conductive]]).
* UndeadAbomination: They were once great warriors, but dark magic has twisted them into something unnatural. Even the regular Undead look more "human".

* AnythingThatMoves: Assuming the main player is hot enough, he'll hit on her/him the instant he sees them. He continuously hits on Page after meeting her, even while threatening (and ''trying'') to get her killed. ''VideoGame/FableIII'' disturbingly implies that his sexual deviance at least occasionally includes [[BestialityIsDepraved Balverines and chickens]].

* ItCanThink: At one point the White Balverine will ambush you and after you drive it off the mayor of Knothole Glade will wonder how the White Balverine knew where you were going, implying it has higher intelligence. Given that the White Balverine [[spoiler: used to be a professional hunter]], it is possible it still retained memories on laying traps for its quarry. Moreover, both Fable II and Fable IIII show that Balverines can eventually regain their intelligence as well as the ability to shift at-will between human monster forms. This eventually culminates in the Balverine Order in the eponymous tie-in novel, a secret society of Balverines led by a White Alpha intent on taking over a kingdom by infecting members of the nobility with the curse.

* JokerImmunity: Becomes glaringly apparent in ''VideoGame/FableIII''. Despite having tried to kill the player character, being a strong supporter of [[FascistButInefficient King Logan]], and also being a casual murderer who has slightly less regard for people's lives than he does pocket lint, you aren't allowed to punish or penalize him even as King of Albion. It's not that the game points out that he may be essential, or he himself makes a case for his continued usefulness: [[ButThouMust you apparently just accept Reaver being there]].
