[[folder:Homunculi]]
All of them provide examples of:
----
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of a sin or aspect of human nature; and also a facet of Father's personality.
* ArtificialHuman: All of them except [[spoiler: Wrath]] were created by Father in order to create pawns and means for Father to achieve perfection
* DarkIsEvil: Varies among them but generally true.
** DarkIsNotEvil: Greed, who made a HeelFaceTurn twice. And Sloth and Gluttony don't seem actively malevolent, their only desire being to sleep and eat, respectively. [[hottip:*:Gluttony's favorite food is people, sure, but he's much too simple to understand that that's a bad thing.]]
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:In the manga and ''Brotherhood'', all seven of Father's creations are defeated in ways that reflect each of their respective deadly sins they represent!]]
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Except for Gluttony, who is bald and Father, who has blond hair.
* EvilGloating: Except for the dim Gluttony and Sloth, all of them are frequent perpetrators of this.
* FiveBadBand:
** BigBad: Father.
** {{The Dragon}}: Pride
** {{The Brute}}s: Envy, Gluttony and Sloth.
** {{Evil Genius}}es: Wrath in his role as TheMole, and Lust in her being a ManipulativeBitch.
** {{Dark Chick}}s: Lust and Greed I before he betrays the Homunculi.
** TheStarscream: Greed I
** SixthRangerTraitor: Greed II
* HealingFactor: Can recover from fatal injuries without much problem. However, "killing" them enough times exhausts their factor and renders them dead for real. Due to the method of his creation and the effects on his body it had, Wrath is the exception.
* HeroKiller: The heroes are terrified of them all, with Wrath, Pride, and Lust in particular living up to their reputation in combat.
* HumanoidAbomination: All are sociopaths (except arguably Greed and Sloth) made through unnatural means with superhuman powers fueled by a stone filled to the brim with disembodied souls screaming in despair.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Especially Father.
* LackOfEmpathy: In varying degrees depending on the individual--Greed's definitely the least so in this aspect and Pride and Father are definitely the most.
* MoralMyopia: Ed calls this out to [[spoiler: Pride]] and Ling does so to [[spoiler: Greed as well]]
* OurHomunculiAreDifferent: Obviously.
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: More like powered by a forsaken population of countless souls
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: All of the first 6 were created centuries ago by Father who himself is over 400 years old. Wrath and the Second Greed avert this rule.
* RedRightHand: Their ouroboros tattoos.
* SevenDeadlySins: Each of their code names [[spoiler: only King Bradley and Selim have names to the public eye]] are named after one because they are split from Father in order to become the perfect being. [[spoiler: They also all die in manners similar to the punishments in Dante's Inferno.]]
** [[spoiler: Except Pride. His death is more of a IronicDeath]]
* [[spoiler:TangledFamilyTree: Father is Ed and Al's much-older half-brother, if he's anything, and his 'children,' the Homunculi, are their nephews and niece. Despite being older. In one of the omakes they even try and beg a couple years of pocket money out of him.]]

The creator and leader of the homunculi. [[spoiler:His true name is Homunculus--he was the first artificial human, having a body made out of Philosopher's Stone, and all other homunculi are pieces of him. He is almost identical to Hohenheim, since he was created from Hohenheim's blood back in Xerxes. Was responsible for the destruction of Xerxes, which gave him immortality. He spread a corrupted form of Xerxes alchemy to Amestris.]]
->Voiced by: Iemasa Kayumi (JP), KentWilliams (EN)
-----
* AbusiveParents: Burning Greed alive in a vat of molten metal, for one thing. He raises his children specifically to act as pawns in his plan.
** He doesn't care when any of the homunculi die. He just [[PragmaticVillainy keeps them around because they're useful.]] [[spoiler:Ed eventually points this out to the physically crumbling Pride, whom Father abandons in order to go replenish his own philosopher's stone.]]
* [[spoiler: AndIMustScream: His final fate.]]
** [[spoiler:IronicHell]]
* AntagonisticOffspring: [[spoiler: In a bizarre way, he's this to Hohenheim.]]
* AntiMagic: He can turn off alchemy. Not just the alchemy of one person, but '''''all the alchemy in the country.''''' This only applies to Amestrian alchemy, so people like Scar or May Chang are immune to this.
** This is because [[spoiler:all the Amestrians have to go through a layer of his Philosopher's Stone to draw on energy. Once Scar activates a circle that nullifies it, Ed and Al resume throwing things at him.]]
* ArchnemesisDad: To Greed
* AssimilationBackfire: [[spoiler:After absorbing Greed again in the end for his Ultimate Shield, Greed rebels from within by turning Father's body into frail graphite.]]
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler: "Despair for the conceited"]].

* {{Bishonen}} [[spoiler: see OneWingedAngel, below]]

* BlondGuysAreEvil: Only in his Old Man Form [[spoiler:and his Final Form]] his True Form did not have hair [[spoiler:as well as his Blob Form and Giant Cyclops Form]]
* BodyHorror: He can do some ''really'' creepy stuff with it, especially when helping his Homunculi.
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:He's essentially Ed and Al's brother.]]
* TheChessmaster: With four hundred years of planning behind him.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He comes off as one, but only because his concerns are so far above humans' that they can rarely understand his thought processes.
* CreativeSterility: When it's pointed out to him that all he does is mimic humans, his response is essentially [[LetsSeeYouDoBetter "Fuck you."]]
* DarkIsEvil[=/=]LightIsNotGood: Started as a flask-dwelling creepy little black blob and afterwards reshaped his body into looking like Hohenheim's, meaning he became a noble looking old man wearing white robes, invoking traditional depictions of {{Top God}}s. [[spoiler: Afterwards, he became a human sized black blob with eyes everywhere. Then he became a gigantic cyclops. And THEN he reshaped his body once more into becoming a sexy teenage version of Hohenheim]]; the only consensus to be made out of this is that he is dark but prefers more attractive forms.
** Taken further to an extent in the anime. Whenever we're shown Father's lair, it seems to glow with a strange silver light. [[spoiler: When he sheds his human form and becomes the black blob during his fight with Hohenheim, the room becomes much darker, almost insinuating that his old body had been ''emitting that light''.]]
* DevilInPlainSight: During his early days as the [[spoiler:"shadow in the flask"]], he was obviously up to no good but unfortunately no one in Xerxes picked up on it enough to avoid becoming an UnwittingPawn.
* [[spoiler: DraggedOffToHell]]: Or the nearest equivalent in this universe.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He appears twice, each time for only a moment, in the first episode when he detects the Freezing Alchemist's huge transmutation circle in Central.
* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:His true form, a human-shaped blob of LivingShadow covered in massive eyes and mouths.]]
* ElementalPowers: [[spoiler: He gains a few after consuming The Truth.]]
** [[spoiler: BlowYouAway: Can created Tornadoes from his hands.]]
** [[spoiler: MagmaCumLaude: At one point, he summons a large lava stream.]]
** [[spoiler: ThePowerOfTheSun: So powerful is he, he can induce nuclear fusion and create mini-Suns in the palm of his hand. Goes great with his LightIsNotGood motif.]]
** [[spoiler: PureEnergy: He can fire massive, WaveMotionGun-calibre energy blasts.]]
** [[spoiler: ShockAndAwe: He uses it as a protective shield.]]
* EvilCounterpart: To [[spoiler:Hohenheim. They have contrasting appearance and goals and philosphy.]]
* EvilPlan: To achieve 'perfection'. Hohenteim states its actually [[spoiler: To escape his flask which only made bigger after the depopulation of Xerxes.]]
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: [[spoiler: His True Form]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Though he drops the facade after his first few appearances.
* GambitRoulette: Manipulating [[spoiler:the development of an entire ''country'']] to suit his plans.
* AGlassOfChianti: He swivels a glass around at one point, although that's [[{{Squick}} not wine he's drinking]]
* AGodAmI: Has this attitude throughout the manga; he believes all other life forms are too far beneath him to even be worthy of contempt. [[spoiler:Accomplishes it for real, but not for very long.]]
* GoodPowersBadPeople: Can pretty much heal any injury instantly [[spoiler:because he is a living Philosopher's Stone]]. Also counts as subverting NoCureForEvil.
* GrandpaGod: His appearance definitely invokes this, but he's really more like {{Satan}} than anything.
* HairAntennae: [[spoiler: After absorbing God]]
* '''TheHeavy''': Let me put this way, [[spoiler: Not only would Amestris not been created, but '''Ed''' and '''Al''' in addition to the rest of the cast would've never been born if it weren't for his plans]]
* HumanResources: Ignoring the obvious, we get to see essentially how the Homunculi are born in Chapter 106. [[spoiler: When Hohenheim makes a comment about Father's CreativeSterility, he recreates the bodies of the Xerxes souls... right before melting them down AGAIN and turning them in a WaveMotionGun.]] ItMakesSenseInContext, I swear.
* [[spoiler:IJustWantToBeFree: His initial reason for all he's done is wanting to escape the flask.]]
* [[spoiler:ImmortalityImmorality: The Philosopher's Stone is made by melting down the bodies of living people and trapping their souls within a red liquid.]]
* IronicEcho: During the final battle, he talks of how despair is truth. [[spoiler: After he's defeated and sent back to the gate, the physical interpretation of "Truth" throws these words right back at him before the gate pulls him in.]]
** [[spoiler:Also right before getting sucked back to the gate, he yells how he wishes to know everything and be free. Little does he realize that he actually gained everything he wanted when he got a physical body. Regardless, he chooses to imprison himself down the central command of Amestris, cutting contact with everyone else and therefore becoming no different from the time when he was living inside a small flask.]]
* [[spoiler: IronicHell: [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor "Despair for the conceited"]]]]
* LiteralSplitPersonality[=/=]MesACrowd: He "perfected" his soul by splitting off parts of it into separate bodies ([[spoiler: in this case, the parts corresponding to the seven deadly sins]]). Rather than destroying the beings created by this separation, he kept them around to do his dirty work for him.
* [[spoiler:{{Loincloth}}]]
* ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:More like "man behind the military".]]
* ManipulativeBastard: One of his last tricks involves [[spoiler: calmly having the rotting, moaning population of Xerxes emerge from his body. As a ''distraction.'']]
* MonsterProgenitor
* NamesTheSame: No, he's not the BigBad from ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', although their roles in their respective series are surprisingly similar.
* OmnicidalManiac: Well, it's more like [[spoiler: absorbing everyone in Xerxes and Amestris for the power of a god, which puts them in an AndIMustScream scenario,]] but the effect is pretty similar.
* [[spoiler:OneWingedAngel: In chapter 97, Hohenheim gets the souls forming his body to "vomit him up", revealing his true form, a LivingShadow in the shape of a man, covered in eyes. He undergoes a second transformation when his "perfect" form is that of Hohenheim as an adolescent.]]
* [[spoiler: PhlebotinumOverload: After the 50 million Amestrian souls are removed from him, Hohemheim invokes this on him, pointing out that "the few Xerxian souls [he has] left aren't enough to contain [his] so-called 'God'". After a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from the combined forces of the entire Briggs army, a blinded Roy Mustang, Greed and finally Edward Elric (with his arm restored) completely depletes his philosopher's stone, the power of God causes him to immediately ''implode''.]]
* PureIsNotGood: He claims to have purified himself of emotions by giving those aspects of himself to his "children", but as noted by Hohenheim, he's probably worse now than he was when he had those emotions.
** Though it's stated numerous times that Father has expelled all of his sins, it's interesting to note he acts in a way similar to that of the sins: He seeks power at all costs (Greed); views humans as "ants" (Pride); devours his home cooked meals with no self control (Gluttony); has a desire for a family like humans (Envy); prefers to let others do his bidding for him (Sloth); feels anger towards any opposition, principally Hohenheim (Wrath); and shows complete disregard and manipulation of human beings (Lust); so perhaps he didn't really lose them. Which leads us to…
* {{Satan}}: [[spoiler:He is the secret chief commander of [[TheIlluminati a deep shadow cult conspiracy]] using a country run by a military industrial dictatorship with a [[PoweredByAForsakenChild sinisterly]]-[[ManipulativeBastard manipulated]] source of prosperity and power, [[DiabolicalMastermind ALL essentially his doing]]. In spite of being responsible for all of the known mass bloodshed within the series universe, few know that he or his [[AncientConspiracy conspiracy]] even exists. His [[EldritchAbomination seed homunculi]], surrounded in [[EsotericMotifs occult symbolism]] the whole nine yards, largely born as the results and [[AnthropomorphicPersonification walking icons]] of [[SevenDeadlySins every single vice]] known to man and to his own personality, refer to him as "Father". He's about ten insidious layers of [[LightIsNotGood misguiding light]], and that's putting it mildly. The King of Xerxes made a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with him]] to become immortal at the expense of the freedom of every soul in his own entire nation only to [[UnwittingPawn quickly find out the hard way]] [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves how Faustian it really was for himself]], and Solf J. Kimblee is heavily implied to have wagered his own soul in a way just to see how the homunculi's games would play out; knowing this makes it fairly easy to connect the dots about all the main officers in Central Command. Still not convinced this guy's pretty much the ''FMA'' version of the "morning star"? Fine. '''His ultimate goal/desire is to conquer and replace {{God}}.''']]
* ShadowArchetype: To Hohenheim.
* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:As the Dwarf in the Flask. He needed to be this to fool Hohenheim into going along with his plan.]]
* ThirdEye: Although his true form has a lot more eyes than that, he's shown a couple of times forming a third eye on his forehead and pulling out a spare philosopher's stone.
* TinMan: Although he claims to have no emotions he actually does display them, sometimes as seemingly friendly ditziness, but also anger and great cruelty. If anything, it's more like his emotions are fairly low key. Hohenheim points out that while he claims to not want a family, the fact that he created seven "children" and had them call him Father betray his motives.
** Which takes Envy's entire existence into FridgeBrilliance if you think about it.
** It also foreshadows that Greed actually wants friends since he acts friendly after absorbing Greed; once he gives Greed to Ling he becomes a complete monster again.
* [[spoiler: {{Trickster}}: In his earliest days.]]
* [[spoiler:TrulySingleParent: Each one of the Homunculi is born from him. Each is a representation of one of his sins, or so he claims.]]
* TheUnfettered: He sees everyone, enemy and ally alike, as pawns or stepping stones to his goal.
* VocalDissonance: In the anime, he keeps his "elderly man" voice even after [[spoiler:transforming into his sexy younger form.]]
* [[spoiler: VillainousBreakdown: Undergoes a minor one in chapter 105, when he is OutGambitted by Hohenheim.]]
** [[spoiler:He then has a ''major'' one in 107, when he loses control of God.]]
* [[spoiler:ZergRush: It takes the combined efforts of Ed, Izumi, Mustang, Hawkeye, Major Armstrong, Zampano, Lan Fan, Darius, Greed/Ling, and ''an entire military company'' just to wear him down to the point to where Ed can move in to close combat]].

A seductress of immense beauty and cruelty. Father's emissary to his pawns.
->Voiced by: KikukoInoue (JP), LauraBailey (EN)
-----
* ArtificialHuman
* AuthorAppeal: In addition to muscular men (see Armstrong), the author has acknowledged that she really likes drawing buxom women such as Lust ("Women should be ''vavoom''!").
* {{Badass}}: Takes a ridiculous amount of punishment before she even starts to consider dying.
** BadassLonghair
* TheBaroness: Sexpot version. She even seduces Havoc.
* BeastAndBeauty: With Gluttony, though in a brother/sister manner rather than a sexual one.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Gluttony and Envy's Brawn.
* CardCarryingVillain: She truly seems to enjoy being evil.
* CombatSadomasochist: Heavily implied. She's normally cold and collected, but in combat displays a truly sadistic streak, and is practically orgasming throughout her battle with Roy.
* [[spoiler:DeathByIrony: Burned to death by MrFanservice when she was about to kill the woman who almost certainly has a BodyguardCrush on him.]]
** [[spoiler: Lampshaded by Lust as she fades into dust]]
** [[spoiler: In Dante's ''Purgatorio'', the lustful are made to pass through a wall of cleansing fire before passing from Purgatory. Lust dies by being incinerated.]]
* TheDarkChick: The only female member of the Homunculi. She's also a manipulator on a team of arrogant sociopaths and brutes.
* DarkActionGirl: You had better believe it.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Her main attack is called the "Ultimate Lance" and can penetrate anything.
* DyingCurse: [[spoiler:To Roy]].
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* EvilGenius: She's probably the best at manipulating people and one of the more strategic of the Homunculi. Not ''The'' EvilGenius in a FiveBadBand sense (that's Wrath's job) but definitely ''an'' EvilGenius.
* FemmeFatalons
* {{Gainaxing}}: Complete with sound effects.
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile]]
* HotGirlsAreBitches
* InSeriesNickname: "Ms. Ultimate Spear", by Greed.
* [[spoiler: KillItWithFire: Roy roasts her repeatedly till her stone runs out. Just as her lance was an inch from spiking through his head.]]
* {{Lust}}: Well, duh! In her case it seems to be a lust for violence and chaos rather than being sexual in nature (though she's certainly an object of lust).
* LightIsNotGood: Her fake name Solaris is associated with the sun.
* {{Made of Iron}}: Even for a Homunculus the woman is tough, taking more punishment than the rest of her siblings put together. No explanation is really given, beyond her own raw {{badass}}ery.
* TheMagnificent: Lust The Lascivious
* ManipulativeBitch: On a far smaller scale than say, Father, but just look at what she did to Havoc.
* MoralityPet: Gluttony seems to be hers; she's genuinely fond of him.
* MsFanservice: What would you expect with [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a name like that?]]
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: "She's dust...I definitely cremated her." Sorry, Roy...
* OfCorsetsSexy
* OppositeSexClone: To an extent. There's some FanDisservice when you notice how she has some of Father's features.
* {{Pride}}: Very much so, despite it not being "her" sin.
* PlayingAgainstType: Both KikukoInoue and LauraBailey
* RavenHairIvorySkin
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Envy's red.
* [[spoiler:SacrificialLion]]: [[spoiler:Inverted/Played with. She's one of the most {{Badass}} Homunculi, yet was killed fairly early on the show to show that Mustang does ''not'' screw around. It's worth noting that her death is also the first real setback that Father has suffered in four hundred years.]]
* SarcasmMode: Switches to this frequently: "Oh no, did I get your ignition gloves all wet? Silly me."

* SmugSnake
* SuperiorSpecies: Believes Homunculi are innately superior to humans.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheVamp
* VaporWear
* WeHardlyKnewYe: A mild example, but she dies rather suddenly and much earlier than any other Homunculus (the others all survive until the last arc); and contrary to her incarnation in the 2003 anime, her character doesn't really get any development.
* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: "I've sent [[FatIdiot Gluttony]] and [[HairTriggerTemper Envy]]. They will not fail."
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Her reaction when Roy calls her a monster after showcasing her abilities and Philosopher's Stone. She claims that the homunculi are "the next link in the evolutionary chain" of humanity, however.

->Voiced by: TetsuShiratori (JP), Chris Cason (EN)
-----
* {{Acrofatic}}: Surprisingly quick for his size.
* BackFromTheDead: Scar once exhausted his HealingFactor and killed him for real. However, Father was nearby and able to ressurect him with all his memories without much trouble.
* BaldOfEvil
* BeastAndBeauty: With Lust. It's not [[BrotherSisterIncest romantic]], though.
* BigEater: As per his "sin", he is never ever full.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Lust's Brains.
* TheBrute: Very strong, none too bright, and used by Father and Lust as a living wrecking ball.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Can I eat him/her?"
** IronicEcho: [[spoiler:Pride says it to Greed after absorbing Gluttony and gaining his ravenous hunger.]]
* [[spoiler:DeathByIrony: Eaten by Pride.]]
* DumbMuscle
* ExtremeOmnivore: He practically embodies the trope.
* FatBastard: Though he's hardly mean about it.
* FatIdiot
* ImAHumanitarian
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Who would have expected that Gluttony would end up being eaten by someone else? Still AlasPoorVillain though.]]
* LetsGetDangerous: Face it, Mustang--he's one of the Homunculi. You should have expected him to be NotSoHarmless.
* TheMagnificent: Gluttony The Voracious
* NotSoHarmless: Easily the most docile and least evil of the Homunculi, but once he realizes that Mustang's the one who [[spoiler:killed Lust]], he goes ''ballistic''.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Gluttony is no more evil than a great white shark is. He's just hungry and completely unaware of concepts like morality.
* OneWingedAngel: His chest can open up in a fanged mouth. Unusual for the trope is that he can change back.
* PsychopathicManChild

For the sake of clarity, Envy will not be referred to by any gender-specific pronouns.
->Voiced by: MinamiTakayama (JP), WendyPowell (EN)
-----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Noticeably a lot more muscular in ''Brotherhood'' than in the first series.
* [[spoiler: AlasPoorVillain: Invoked by Edward during Envy's death.]]
* AmbiguousGender: [[WordOfGod Nobody knows Envy's true gender, not even Envy]]. That said, other characters refer to Envy with male pronouns.
* '''AxCrazy'''
* BareYourMidriff: A ambiguous version.
* BerserkButton: Envy really, really does not like being called "ugly".
* [[spoiler:BetaTestBaddie: And [[DrivenToSuicide it kills itself]] when someone points it out.]]
* BoisterousWeakling: Brags a lot, despises humans and is prompt to KickTheDog as often as it can. And gets its ass handed to it in pretty much every serious fight it has [[spoiler:except in its OneWingedAngel form… and ''even that one'' [[IncrediblyLamePun backfires]] horribly against Mustang.]] Made even more obvious when it turns out [[spoiler:its real true form is that of a minuscule larva-thingy.]]
* TheBrute: Arguably. Envy's got a HairTriggerTemper, a profoundly limited sense of subtlety, relies on brute force in combat, and seems to be relatively low on the Homunculi totem pole.[[spoiler: It is also the biggest homunculus]].
* ChewingTheScenery: "I'm ''ALLLIIIIIIIIIIIVE!''"
* [[spoiler: ClippedWingAngel]]: [[spoiler:Two ways: first, Envy's ''true'' form is a little [[FetusTerrible fetus-thing]] that you could kill by stepping on it. Second, Envy's attempts to go OneWingedAngel against Roy led to the response, "I can't believe you made yourself a ''bigger'' target." Cue OhCrap.]]

** DontYouDarePityMe
* DoesNotLikeShoes
* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide]]
* EldritchAbomination: Most people freak the hell out when they see Envy's true form. And I'm not just talking about the characters. [[spoiler:And its ''true'' true form would result in pity.]]
* EnemyMine: Briefly worked with Ed and Ling to escape [[spoiler: Gluttony's stomach.]]
* {{Envy}}: [[spoiler:Toward humanity, who can always rise to improve themselves no matter how crushed beyond redemption.]]
** [[spoiler:TheResenter]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: To be fair, it has admitted this. [[spoiler:And [[BetaTestBaddie it pisses it off]].]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Its attempts at being cordial only underscore the fact that it doesn't give a shit about the other character's hatred.
* FalseFlagOperation: [[spoiler:Envy took the form of an Amestrian soldier and fired the shot that started the Ishvalan War]]. Years later, [[spoiler:Envy took the form of Father Cornello to stir up unrest in Lior]].
* [[spoiler: FetusTerrible]]: [[spoiler: [[ClippedWingAngel Its true form]]]].
* ForTheEvulz
* FriendlyEnemy: Likes to ''play'' this role. [[SubvertedTrope It's all lies, of course.]]
* HairTriggerTemper: Hates being insulted, by anyone, about anything, and has a fuse ''shorter than Ed's''.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Loves to cause pain and agony and laugh giddily over it, but if the tables turn expect Envy to bitch and moan about it the loudest of any of the Homunculi.
* [[spoiler:HumiliationConga]] [[spoiler:OutGambitted into its fetus form and carried around. Moments after regaining its powerful form its hunted by Mustang. Then driven to suicide by Ed pointing its fatal flaw.]]
* [[spoiler:HybridMonster]]
* [[spoiler: IJustWantToBeYou]]
* [[spoiler:InferioritySuperiorityComplex: So very much.]]
* {{Irony}}: One of Envy's abilities is to transform into humans. [[spoiler:Which must really tick Envy off, because even though Envy can pass off as a human, deep down Envy knows it can never be one. The one thing that turns the tables in a fight against any of its opponents is that it can only use information it finds out about anyone it transforms into- Hawkeye uses this against it (by [[DoubleSubversion bluffing that Mustang calls her Riza.]])]]
** Is the one who most consistently makes fun of Ed's height, [[spoiler:is later revealed that its true form is [[FetusTerrible a little fish-thing]] that you could hold with two fingers.]]
* JerkAss: To psychopathic levels.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Excels at this. It often backfires, though.
* KickTheDog: Constantly and enjoys it immensely.
* TheMagnificent: Envy The Jealous
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Lust's blue.
* OhCrap: There's no other possible way to describe Envy reaction when Envy realizes [[spoiler:just ''how'' bad of an idea pissing off Roy was]].
** There's also a more minor one when Hawkeye [[BluffTheImposter implies there is something going on between her and the Colonel]] [[spoiler:when Envy is disguised as Mustang]].
* [[spoiler:OneWingedAngel: A giant green monster.]]
* PsychoForHire
* SayItWithHearts
* {{Shapeshifter}}: Ties with UnlimitedWardrobe.
** ShapeshifterBaggage: Averted. Ling notices [[spoiler:that Envy's footprints are unusually deep, indicating the extremely high density of Envy's body, which is due to the enormous size of his/her true form.]]
** ShapeShifterGuiltTrip: Works on Hughes, fails horribly against Roy.
** VoluntaryShapeshifting
* SissyVillain: Unlike the previous adaptation of [[AdaptationalBadass Envy]], this one is effeminate.
* SlasherSmile: Always has one of these--[[spoiler:Envy's true form is composed of a bunch of horrible faces, most bearing this expression as well.]]
* StupidEvil: Not consistently, but pretty often. Envy is just way too sadistic to restrain the urge to brag about its atrocities at times when it's clearly not a best idea. This is also probably why Envy's UnskilledButStrong--Envy just lacks the self-control to be a better fighter.
* UnskilledButStrong: Envy is a ''terrible'' fighter in the manga/''Brotherhood'' adaption. Thanks to its shapeshifting abilities, and the [[spoiler: sheer weight Envy can put behind every blow]], this doesn't often matter [[spoiler: at least until the encounter with Roy]].
* [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown: '''Completely''' loses it after realizing it's outmatched during its "[[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown fight]]" against Roy.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Started the war in Ishval by deliberately shooting an Ishvallan child in the head, while disguised as a soldier.]] Years later, Envy still seems to think of this as one of the most enjoyable things it has ever done.

->Voiced by: YuuichiNakamura (JP), ChrisPatton (EN), [[spoiler:TroyBaker (Second Greed, EN)]]
-----
* AffablyEvil: He's undeniably the most polite, classy, and the least violent Homunculus of all. Greed even once showed some condolence towards Al when given the false impression that "the brother that attached his soul to the armor" was actually dead and was a touchy subject.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Inverted, his ambition was what drove him to separate from Father and become an AntiVillain.
* AntiVillain: [[SlidingScaleofAntiVillains Type I]] --> [[spoiler: AntiHero: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type IV]]]]
* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead: An unusual variant as Father "absorbed" him and then later injected him into Ling. At first you could think of the second incarnation as a different person, with Greed himself trying to assert that, but he eventually regains the first one's memories.]]

* BigNo: After [[spoiler:killing [[EliteMook Bido]] triggers him to regain the memories of the rest of his fallen comrades]], it leads him into an [[HeroicBSOD Anti-Heroic BSOD]].
* BookEnds: [[spoiler: Is both the first and last of the "sin" homunculus to die in the series.]].
* {{Catchphrase}}: "I'm called Greed, because I'm greedy. I want money, I want power, I want women, I WANT EVERYTHING!"

** [[spoiler: Twice.]]
* [[spoiler:DemonicPossession: Of Ling.]]
* [[spoiler: TheDogBitesBack: The only Homunculus to openly rebel against Father. In the final fight, he goes as far as to pull a HeroicSacrifice in order to weaken Father for a final blow]]
* DramaPreservingHandicap: Of the psychological variety- his vanity keeps him from covering his good-looking face with the Ultimate Shield if he can ''possibly'' avoid it, [[spoiler:even when fighting ''[[OneManArmy Wrath]]'']].
* [[spoiler:DyingMomentOfAwesome]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards
* EvilLaugh (or at least Evil Chuckle): very frequently in ''Brotherhood.''
* EvilSoundsDeep: Not in the dub, though.
** [[spoiler: It is now, as TroyBaker voices his second iteration. Also kind of a subversion when you think how his voice was switched to a deeper one in the incarnation that was destined to fight alongside the heroes.]]
* FangsAreEvil: Sort of.
* {{Foil}} / ShadowArchetype: To both Ling and [[spoiler:Wrath]].
** Edward too, they share arrogance and an OedipusComplex.
* GameFace: He looks ''very'' different when he extends the Ultimate Shield over his head.
* [[spoiler: GoOutWithASmile: Both his first and second incarnations in the manga and ''Brotherhood.'' The second is more a traditional example.]]
* {{Greed}}: Obviously.
* HandsomeLech
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]]
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: A variant, since the Ultimate Shield is less armor than it is a part of him, but he never extends it to cover his head, and rarely even his neck, unless he absolutely has no other choice. He says it's because it obscures his pretty face ([[GameFace and to be fair, it does]]), so this also makes his vanity a DramaPreservingHandicap
* HunterOfHisOwnKind

* InSeriesNickname: "Mr. Ultimate Shield", by Lust.
* InstantArmor
* ItsAllAboutMe: While [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation a more positive spin could be placed on his actions]] than the one on that page (see trope below), he is, by the nature of the sin he represents, undeniably a massive egomaniac.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold[=/=]HiddenHeartOfGold: He's a selfish greedy (well, it's his NAME) bastard for sure, but he's also shown to genuinely care for his subordinates and he does have a sense of honor.... even if he tries his very hardest to deny it or justify it as his way of keeping his "possessions" in top condition. Also worth noting is that by having the chimeras work for him, he was accepting those who would've very likely otherwise been shunned from society.

* NobleDemon: Greed is obviously far from a saint (seeing as he's supposed to be the embodiment of a ''SIN''), but he's the only Homunculus willing to work with the good guys as long as it suits his ends. He's so obsessed with his own desires that senseless murder in Father's name doesn't interest him, as anything that he could help Father get Greed would rather obtain for himself. [[spoiler:Not to mention the fact that Wrath killed Greed's minions means that Greed has a bone to pick with Wrath, and by extension is against all the other homunculi as well]]. He also has a code of honor that none of the other Homunculi seem to have.
* NotSoDifferent: Just before their final assault on Central, Greed lectures Ed on their similarities -- Ed is motivated by hope and Greed by avarice, and what are hope and greed but different words for desire?
** Now, if we take into account [[spoiler:what Greed truly desires and what Ed is willing to do without alchemy for]], the above actually takes on a new meaning.
** Also interesting is Greed's OedipusComplex toward Father compared to Ed's resentment of Hohenheim for abandoning him as a child, especially since Father and Hohenheim look alike.
** Greed once mocked Ed for being the type of person who can handle taking a beating himself but goes [[BerserkButton nuts]] when people he cares about get hurt. Guess what happens when Greed [[ItsPersonal remembers what happened to his subordinates?]]
** From another angle, in a recent chapter, Father commented on how much Greed reflects his own motivations, indicating ironically that the same qualities that made Greed fight alongside the "good", make Father truly evil.
* OddlySmallOrganization: Despite his often stated interest in world domination, he's never had more than a handful of followers [[spoiler: which was probably foreshadowing of his ''true'' desire for friends.]]
* OneManArmy: He takes out a lot of Central's troops and destroyed a truck with his bare hands.
* TheOtherDarrin: He's voiced by ChrisPatton until [[spoiler: he's reborn in Ling's body (which sort of justifies the trope considering he is in a new body with different vocal chords)]], after which he's replaced with TroyBaker. Greed's voice remains unchanged throughout in Japanese; the switch was necessitated by Patton leaving the voice business.
* [[spoiler:[[RedemptionEqualsDeath Redemption Equals]] HeroicSacrifice: His final death can be seen as this for Ling. When Father absorbs Greed into his arm, Greed has Lan Fan chop it off so a) Father can't possibly absorb Ling as well anymore and b) so he can [[TakingYouWithMe wreak havoc in Father's body]].]]
* RegretEatingMe: The first Greed, once it becomes apparent what Father is going to do to him.
* TheScream: [[spoiler:After killing Bido triggers his old memories to return.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: [[spoiler: While Ling and Lan Fan lay the hurt on Gluttony in the dark, Greed sits back inside Ling and watches, commenting on how Ling's "quite the stud, having a fine woman like her hidden away"]]
** He also compliments Ed on his choice of "possessions" after meeting Winry.
* SlasherSmile: In his normal form, he has unusually pointy teeth which very much resembles those of a shark, but he arguably has a friendly version of this; his Ultimate Shield form is a more traditional example (it has no lips, so his teeth are always on display).
* TheStarscream: Greed I was this to Father. Greed II is more SixthRangerTraitor.
* TakeOverTheWorld: His ultimate goal in life. [[spoiler: ....Supposedly.]]
* TokenHeroicOrc
* TrueCompanions: What he, no matter how he denies it, had with his chimeric "possessions" before their deaths. [[spoiler:And ultimately, the one thing he desired the most.]]
* VillainsNeverLie: "It's my policy to always tell the truth".
** [[spoiler: Subverts it for the first and last time to spare Ling from being dragged along in his HeroicSacrifice.]]
* [[spoiler: [[WhatTheHellHero What the Hell, Anti-Villian?]]: Gets this harshly from Ling after killing Bido, which pushes him into his MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment.]]
* WhiteSheep: The only homunculus who isn't either a casual murderer or psychopath, nor does he see particularly see humans as beneath him.
* WildCard: As befits a creature devoted solely to his own desires.
* WouldntHitAGirl: "I don't fight women, I'm not that kind of guy."
* [[spoiler:YouWillBeAssimilated: Father tries this on Greed after he loses control of God. [[DyingMomentOfAwesome It backfires magnificently.]]]]

A hulking brute. Incredibly lazy, he has to be forced to work non-stop or he'll doze off. Not particularly bright. Father's workhorse and, after Greed goes AWOL, bodyguard.
->Voiced by: FumihikoTachiki (JP), PatrickSeitz (EN)
-----
* AnimalMotif: The sloth by both his sin and his physical appearance being similar looking to a sloth
* TheBrute: A classic example.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "What a pain." and "Can I rest now?" Sometimes translated as "too much work."
* ChainedByFashion
* DarkIsNotEvil: Not only is he neutral, he's also only a threat if ordered to be.

* HeavySleeper
* HulkSpeak
* [[spoiler:ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice]]
* TheJuggernaut
* LazyBum: In a physical and moral sense. Not only is Sloth constantly falling asleep, but he lacks the willpower to say "no" to the other Homunculi, and usually goes through objects and people rather than around them. In a weird way, his laziness is what makes him dangerous.
* LetsGetDangerous: When he reveals [[spoiler:his SuperSpeed]]
* [[spoiler:LightningBruiser: When he wants to move, he [[FlashStep can move so fast that he can't be seen]].]]
** [[spoiler:{{Irony}}: So the fastest moving Homunculus is the one who'd rather not move at all?]]
* MadeOfTitanium: On top of the standard homunculus HealingFactor, to boot. Anything less than a tank round won't even put a mark on him.
* MadnessMantra: ''"Too...Much...Work..."''
* TheMagnificent: Sloth The Indolent
* MonsterSobStory: [[spoiler: Poor Sloth isn't even malevolent unless ordered to be. All he wants to do is sleep, but his physical strength makes Father force him to do all the digging in to make the nationwide transmutation circle.]]

->Voiced by: [[spoiler:YukoSanpei (JP), BrittneyKarbowski (EN)]]
-----
* {{Badass}}: He can control shadows that can rip apart and kill people with little effort at all. That's undeniably {{badass}}.
* BadPowersBadPeople: Gee, what a surprise. The most unrepentantly evil Homunculus is the one who uses living shadows to eat your soul. Who'd've thought it?
* BigBrotherMentor: In a weird sort of way he seems to view himself as one to Wrath, who is the youngest of the Homunculi.

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:He prefers not to force anyone through the "Gate", since it takes a large toll on him.]]
* [[spoiler:DeathByIrony: Massively underestimates both his opponent and someone who he'd [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness absorbed]], and [[AssimilationBackfire consequently gets his own attack turned back on him]]. PrideBeforeAFall indeed.]]
* [[spoiler:DeliberatelyCuteChild]]
* DevourTheDragon: Repeatedly. Pride callously murders [[spoiler:Gluttony, Kimblee (though in this case, he was already dying), and the alchemic doctor]] to gain their abilities and/or knowledge.
* DissonantSerenity
* [[spoiler: TheDogWasTheMastermind]]
* TheDragon: To Father.
* TheDreaded: ''No one'' wants to fight against Pride, considering both his abilities and his cruelty. Even Greed considers him to be a CompleteMonster.

* [[spoiler: EnfanteTerrible]]
* [[spoiler:EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas]]

* GrandTheftMe: Attempts this on [[spoiler:Edward Elric. Backfires when Ed invades him instead.]]
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: [[spoiler:Until his reveal.]]
* HeelFaceMindScrew: In the course of destroying Pride, Ed somehow knows to rip out Pride's [[spoiler:true form, a helpless, miniature baby. As a result, Pride has no memories of his past and is purged of his malicious personality, and this, coupled with being raised by Mrs. Bradley, means that he becomes the good little boy [[BecomingTheMask he had previously pretended to be]].]]
** To clarify, [[spoiler: not his true, true form of the Lilliputian infant. It's his creepy shadow that's his regular true form inside the Bradley container that creeps people out]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Turns out [[spoiler:absorbing [[MoralSociopathy Kimblee]]]] wasn't a good idea.

Disturbingly, after he eats Gluttony, Pride comments on inheriting Gluttony's ravenous hunger for people. However, he doesn't think of it as cannibalism, but rather absorbing them into his collective mind.]]
* [[spoiler: InfantImmortality: He is the only homunculus who looks like a child, and also the only homunculus who survives.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: Personified. Pride ''can't'' give a damn about anyone else, due to the nature of his sin. [[spoiler:Flipped around after his rebirth, when he asks his mother if [[FriendToAllLivingThings an injured bird can be "fixed"]]]]
* [[spoiler:LastOfHisKind: Lost memories notwithstanding, he is the only Homunculus to survive the events of the story.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: Many of Pride's cruel acts came back to bite him in the end.
** [[spoiler: When you think about it, being raised as a human child, with his memories erased? From his original perspective that's a FateWorseThanDeath]]
* LightIsNotGood[=/=]DarkIsEvil: He can use shadow only if there is light and if the location is completely dark he can't use his shadow
* [[spoiler:LossOfIdentity: After his "death", he is essentially reborn with the mind of an innocent child.]]
* [[spoiler:LoveRedeems]]
* TheMagnificent: Pride The Arrogant
* MegaManning
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Mrs. Bradley]] is the sole human to whom Pride shows any sympathy.
* {{Narcissist}}: Unsurprisingly. Pride can care about other people if he really, really tries (see Mrs. Bradley and Father), but he's far more interested in himself, to the point of bordering on out and out psychopathy.

* [[spoiler:PrideBeforeAFall: Feel free to laugh.]]
* [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really Three Hundred Years Old]]
* SiblingYinYang: Subtly has this with Wrath.
* ShapeshifterBaggage: Seemingly played straight, unlike Envy above. Drawing his shadow back into his "container" doesn't seem to affect his weight or mass at all, despite the fact that the shadow itself is large enough to extend throughout the tunnel of the nationwide transmutation circle.
* SlasherSmile: Gains one after [[spoiler:eating Gluttony]].
* SmugSnake: Boy is he ever.
* [[spoiler:StepfordSmiler: As Selim Bradley.]]

* {{Troll}}: Enjoys teasing Ed about his height [[spoiler: while under the disguise as King Bradley's cute, innocent, and of course well-guarded son. He even delights in the fact that it annoys Ed.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: Nearly every single thing he does, he does to further Father's plan.
* VillainOverride: [[spoiler: Forces Roy to perform human transmutation, at the cost of his power.]]
* [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown: Literal and figurative. His body begins to flake apart when he uses it to force Mustang into performing human transmutation. Later on, he finally snaps when Ed calls him out on his blind loyalty to Father, who doesn't give a shit about him, and "dies" screaming hysterically and begging for his life.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: [[WeakenedByTheLight Bright flashes of light can hurt him]] and his shadow-based powers are useless in complete darkness and outside of the national transmutation circle and Central Area.

* BadassLabcoat: An old skinny man who nevertheless shows no fear when confronted by [[PersonOfMassDestruction Roy]], [[{{Badass}} Ed]], [[HeroKiller Scar]], [[ColdSniper Riza]], and the Chimeras, stays totally cool under fire, and manages to defeat them through careful planning and the judicious use of {{Elite Mooks}}. He's repulsive, but that earns him some {{badass}} cred.
* BodyHorror: Whoever he paid to bling out his mouth must be pretty creepy indeed, but it gets a whole lot worse. [[spoiler: After being pushed through the Gate, he ends up as a hideously deformed "ball"]]
* ChekhovsGunman: He's first seen [[spoiler:performing the fusion of a human with a Philosopher's stone]] in Bradley's flashback, but becomes quite important later on.

* [[spoiler:FateWorseThanDeath: Implied - he's not present in the usual omakes that show the dead characters, hinting that the he's still alive in that deformed "ball."]]
* FishEyes: Behind his glasses. These ones are ''not'' funny in the slightest however, and only serve to make him look more unbalanced.
* ForScience
* GoldTooth: Obviously. Somehow the resulting [[TwinkleSmile twinkle]] only makes his constant SlasherSmile more disturbing.

Not referred to as hommunculi, but are similar in being another group of {{Artificial Human}}s. They are hideous, one-eyed, cannibalistic and hard to kill monsters created by ripping out people's souls and putting them in artificial bodies. The Military Conspiracy planned to use them as an unstoppable army, but when released, things didn't exactly go as planned...
-----
* AndIMustScream: They are trapped in freakish bodies and feel constant pain.
* BigDamnVillains: They eat several participants in the GovernmentConspiracy and prompt the troops loyal to Central to pull a HeelFaceTurn to have help fighting them off.
* FromACertainPointOfView: The officer who decides to release them does so informed they will be loyal to their father. This almost certainly means they will only obey orders from Father, and unsurprisingly, the officer is immediately devoured by them.
* GoneHorriblyWrong
* HiveMind: They seem to have one to some degree, as others will react when one of them is injured and they scream in unison.
* ImAHumanitarian
* MonkeyMoralityPose: Three of them do this in one of the anime's eyecatches.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Also referred to as "the Immortal Legion".
* NightOfTheLivingMooks
* PsychopathicManchild: They creepily evoke children in the way they cry out in pain and to voice their hunger. It's possible that some of them actually do contain children's souls.

[[folder:Homunculi]]
All of them provide examples of:
----
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of a sin or aspect of human nature; and also a facet of Father's personality.
* ArtificialHuman: All of them except [[spoiler: Wrath]] were created by Father in order to create pawns and means for Father to achieve perfection
* DarkIsEvil: Varies among them but generally true.
** DarkIsNotEvil: Greed, who made a HeelFaceTurn twice. And Sloth and Gluttony don't seem actively malevolent, their only desire being to sleep and eat, respectively. [[hottip:*:Gluttony's favorite food is people, sure, but he's much too simple to understand that that's a bad thing.]]
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:In the manga and ''Brotherhood'', all seven of Father's creations are defeated in ways that reflect each of their respective deadly sins they represent!]]
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Except for Gluttony, who is bald and Father, who has blond hair.
* EvilGloating: Except for the dim Gluttony and Sloth, all of them are frequent perpetrators of this.
* FiveBadBand:
** BigBad: Father.
** {{The Dragon}}: Pride
** {{The Brute}}s: Envy, Gluttony and Sloth.
** {{Evil Genius}}es: Wrath in his role as TheMole, and Lust in her being a ManipulativeBitch.
** {{Dark Chick}}s: Lust and Greed I before he betrays the Homunculi.
** TheStarscream: Greed I
** SixthRangerTraitor: Greed II
* HealingFactor: Can recover from fatal injuries without much problem. However, "killing" them enough times exhausts their factor and renders them dead for real. Due to the method of his creation and the effects on his body it had, Wrath is the exception.
* HeroKiller: The heroes are terrified of them all, with Wrath, Pride, and Lust in particular living up to their reputation in combat.
* HumanoidAbomination: All are sociopaths (except arguably Greed and Sloth) made through unnatural means with superhuman powers fueled by a stone filled to the brim with disembodied souls screaming in despair.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Especially Father.
* LackOfEmpathy: In varying degrees depending on the individual--Greed's definitely the least so in this aspect and Pride and Father are definitely the most.
* MoralMyopia: Ed calls this out to [[spoiler: Pride]] and Ling does so to [[spoiler: Greed as well]]
* OurHomunculiAreDifferent: Obviously.
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: More like powered by a forsaken population of countless souls
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: All of the first 6 were created centuries ago by Father who himself is over 400 years old. Wrath and the Second Greed avert this rule.
* RedRightHand: Their ouroboros tattoos.
* SevenDeadlySins: Each of their code names [[spoiler: only King Bradley and Selim have names to the public eye]] are named after one because they are split from Father in order to become the perfect being. [[spoiler: They also all die in manners similar to the punishments in Dante's Inferno.]]
** [[spoiler: Except Pride. His death is more of a IronicDeath]]
* [[spoiler:TangledFamilyTree: Father is Ed and Al's much-older half-brother, if he's anything, and his 'children,' the Homunculi, are their nephews and niece. Despite being older. In one of the omakes they even try and beg a couple years of pocket money out of him.]]

The creator and leader of the homunculi. [[spoiler:His true name is Homunculus--he was the first artificial human, having a body made out of Philosopher's Stone, and all other homunculi are pieces of him. He is almost identical to Hohenheim, since he was created from Hohenheim's blood back in Xerxes. Was responsible for the destruction of Xerxes, which gave him immortality. He spread a corrupted form of Xerxes alchemy to Amestris.]]
->Voiced by: Iemasa Kayumi (JP), KentWilliams (EN)
-----
* AbusiveParents: Burning Greed alive in a vat of molten metal, for one thing. He raises his children specifically to act as pawns in his plan.
** He doesn't care when any of the homunculi die. He just [[PragmaticVillainy keeps them around because they're useful.]] [[spoiler:Ed eventually points this out to the physically crumbling Pride, whom Father abandons in order to go replenish his own philosopher's stone.]]

* AntiMagic: He can turn off alchemy. Not just the alchemy of one person, but '''''all the alchemy in the country.''''' This only applies to Amestrian alchemy, so people like Scar or May Chang are immune to this.
** This is because [[spoiler:all the Amestrians have to go through a layer of his Philosopher's Stone to draw on energy. Once Scar activates a circle that nullifies it, Ed and Al resume throwing things at him.]]

* BodyHorror: He can do some ''really'' creepy stuff with it, especially when helping his Homunculi.
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:He's essentially Ed and Al's brother.]]
* TheChessmaster: With four hundred years of planning behind him.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He comes off as one, but only because his concerns are so far above humans' that they can rarely understand his thought processes.
* CreativeSterility: When it's pointed out to him that all he does is mimic humans, his response is essentially [[LetsSeeYouDoBetter "Fuck you."]]
* DarkIsEvil[=/=]LightIsNotGood: Started as a flask-dwelling creepy little black blob and afterwards reshaped his body into looking like Hohenheim's, meaning he became a noble looking old man wearing white robes, invoking traditional depictions of {{Top God}}s. [[spoiler: Afterwards, he became a human sized black blob with eyes everywhere. Then he became a gigantic cyclops. And THEN he reshaped his body once more into becoming a sexy teenage version of Hohenheim]]; the only consensus to be made out of this is that he is dark but prefers more attractive forms.
** Taken further to an extent in the anime. Whenever we're shown Father's lair, it seems to glow with a strange silver light. [[spoiler: When he sheds his human form and becomes the black blob during his fight with Hohenheim, the room becomes much darker, almost insinuating that his old body had been ''emitting that light''.]]
* DevilInPlainSight: During his early days as the [[spoiler:"shadow in the flask"]], he was obviously up to no good but unfortunately no one in Xerxes picked up on it enough to avoid becoming an UnwittingPawn.
* [[spoiler: DraggedOffToHell]]: Or the nearest equivalent in this universe.

* EyesDoNotBelongThere: [[spoiler: His True Form]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Though he drops the facade after his first few appearances.

* AGlassOfChianti: He swivels a glass around at one point, although that's [[{{Squick}} not wine he's drinking]]
* AGodAmI: Has this attitude throughout the manga; he believes all other life forms are too far beneath him to even be worthy of contempt. [[spoiler:Accomplishes it for real, but not for very long.]]
* GoodPowersBadPeople: Can pretty much heal any injury instantly [[spoiler:because he is a living Philosopher's Stone]]. Also counts as subverting NoCureForEvil.
* GrandpaGod: His appearance definitely invokes this, but he's really more like {{Satan}} than anything.
* HairAntennae: [[spoiler: After absorbing God]]
* '''TheHeavy''': Let me put this way, [[spoiler: Not only would Amestris not been created, but '''Ed''' and '''Al''' in addition to the rest of the cast would've never been born if it weren't for his plans]]
* HumanResources: Ignoring the obvious, we get to see essentially how the Homunculi are born in Chapter 106. [[spoiler: When Hohenheim makes a comment about Father's CreativeSterility, he recreates the bodies of the Xerxes souls... right before melting them down AGAIN and turning them in a WaveMotionGun.]] ItMakesSenseInContext, I swear.
* [[spoiler:IJustWantToBeFree: His initial reason for all he's done is wanting to escape the flask.]]
* [[spoiler:ImmortalityImmorality: The Philosopher's Stone is made by melting down the bodies of living people and trapping their souls within a red liquid.]]
* IronicEcho: During the final battle, he talks of how despair is truth. [[spoiler: After he's defeated and sent back to the gate, the physical interpretation of "Truth" throws these words right back at him before the gate pulls him in.]]
** [[spoiler:Also right before getting sucked back to the gate, he yells how he wishes to know everything and be free. Little does he realize that he actually gained everything he wanted when he got a physical body. Regardless, he chooses to imprison himself down the central command of Amestris, cutting contact with everyone else and therefore becoming no different from the time when he was living inside a small flask.]]
* [[spoiler: IronicHell: [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor "Despair for the conceited"]]]]
* LiteralSplitPersonality[=/=]MesACrowd: He "perfected" his soul by splitting off parts of it into separate bodies ([[spoiler: in this case, the parts corresponding to the seven deadly sins]]).

* [[spoiler:{{Loincloth}}]]

* ManipulativeBastard: One of his last tricks involves [[spoiler: calmly having the rotting, moaning population of Xerxes emerge from his body. As a ''distraction.'']]
* MonsterProgenitor
* NamesTheSame: No, he's not the BigBad from ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', although their roles in their respective series are surprisingly similar.
* OmnicidalManiac: Well, it's more like [[spoiler: absorbing everyone in Xerxes and Amestris for the power of a god, which puts them in an AndIMustScream scenario,]] but the effect is pretty similar.
* [[spoiler:OneWingedAngel: In chapter 97, Hohenheim gets the souls forming his body to "vomit him up", revealing his true form, a LivingShadow in the shape of a man, covered in eyes. He undergoes a second transformation when his "perfect" form is that of Hohenheim as an adolescent.]]
* [[spoiler: PhlebotinumOverload: After the 50 million Amestrian souls are removed from him, Hohemheim invokes this on him, pointing out that "the few Xerxian souls [he has] left aren't enough to contain [his] so-called 'God'". After a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from the combined forces of the entire Briggs army, a blinded Roy Mustang, Greed and finally Edward Elric (with his arm restored) completely depletes his philosopher's stone, the power of God causes him to immediately ''implode''.]]
* PureIsNotGood: He claims to have purified himself of emotions by giving those aspects of himself to his "children", but as noted by Hohenheim, he's probably worse now than he was when he had those emotions.
** Though it's stated numerous times that Father has expelled all of his sins, it's interesting to note he acts in a way similar to that of the sins: He seeks power at all costs (Greed); views humans as "ants" (Pride); devours his home cooked meals with no self control (Gluttony); has a desire for a family like humans (Envy); prefers to let others do his bidding for him (Sloth); feels anger towards any opposition, principally Hohenheim (Wrath); and shows complete disregard and manipulation of human beings (Lust); so perhaps he didn't really lose them. Which leads us to…
* {{Satan}}: [[spoiler:He is the secret chief commander of [[TheIlluminati a deep shadow cult conspiracy]] using a country run by a military industrial dictatorship with a [[PoweredByAForsakenChild sinisterly]]-[[ManipulativeBastard manipulated]] source of prosperity and power, [[DiabolicalMastermind ALL essentially his doing]]. In spite of being responsible for all of the known mass bloodshed within the series universe, few know that he or his [[AncientConspiracy conspiracy]] even exists. His [[EldritchAbomination seed homunculi]], surrounded in [[EsotericMotifs occult symbolism]] the whole nine yards, largely born as the results and [[AnthropomorphicPersonification walking icons]] of [[SevenDeadlySins every single vice]] known to man and to his own personality, refer to him as "Father". He's about ten insidious layers of [[LightIsNotGood misguiding light]], and that's putting it mildly. The King of Xerxes made a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with him]] to become immortal at the expense of the freedom of every soul in his own entire nation only to [[UnwittingPawn quickly find out the hard way]] [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves how Faustian it really was for himself]], and Solf J. Kimblee is heavily implied to have wagered his own soul in a way just to see how the homunculi's games would play out; knowing this makes it fairly easy to connect the dots about all the main officers in Central Command. Still not convinced this guy's pretty much the ''FMA'' version of the "morning star"? Fine. '''His ultimate goal/desire is to conquer and replace {{God}}.''']]
* ShadowArchetype: To Hohenheim.
* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:As the Dwarf in the Flask. He needed to be this to fool Hohenheim into going along with his plan.]]
* ThirdEye: Although his true form has a lot more eyes than that, he's shown a couple of times forming a third eye on his forehead and pulling out a spare philosopher's stone.
* TinMan: Although he claims to have no emotions he actually does display them, sometimes as seemingly friendly ditziness, but also anger and great cruelty. If anything, it's more like his emotions are fairly low key. Hohenheim points out that while he claims to not want a family, the fact that he created seven "children" and had them call him Father betray his motives.
** Which takes Envy's entire existence into FridgeBrilliance if you think about it.
** It also foreshadows that Greed actually wants friends since he acts friendly after absorbing Greed; once he gives Greed to Ling he becomes a complete monster again.
* [[spoiler: {{Trickster}}: In his earliest days.]]
* [[spoiler:TrulySingleParent: Each one of the Homunculi is born from him. Each is a representation of one of his sins, or so he claims.]]
* TheUnfettered: He sees everyone, enemy and ally alike, as pawns or stepping stones to his goal.
* VocalDissonance: In the anime, he keeps his "elderly man" voice even after [[spoiler:transforming into his sexy younger form.]]
* [[spoiler: VillainousBreakdown: Undergoes a minor one in chapter 105, when he is OutGambitted by Hohenheim.]]
** [[spoiler:He then has a ''major'' one in 107, when he loses control of God.]]
* [[spoiler:ZergRush: It takes the combined efforts of Ed, Izumi, Mustang, Hawkeye, Major Armstrong, Zampano, Lan Fan, Darius, Greed/Ling, and ''an entire military company'' just to wear him down to the point to where Ed can move in to close combat]].

A seductress of immense beauty and cruelty. Father's emissary to his pawns.
->Voiced by: KikukoInoue (JP), LauraBailey (EN)
-----
* ArtificialHuman
* AuthorAppeal: In addition to muscular men (see Armstrong), the author has acknowledged that she really likes drawing buxom women such as Lust ("Women should be ''vavoom''!").
* {{Badass}}: Takes a ridiculous amount of punishment before she even starts to consider dying.
** BadassLonghair
* TheBaroness: Sexpot version. She even seduces Havoc.
* BeastAndBeauty: With Gluttony, though in a brother/sister manner rather than a sexual one.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Gluttony and Envy's Brawn.
* CardCarryingVillain: She truly seems to enjoy being evil.
* CombatSadomasochist: Heavily implied. She's normally cold and collected, but in combat displays a truly sadistic streak, and is practically orgasming throughout her battle with Roy.
* [[spoiler:DeathByIrony: Burned to death by MrFanservice when she was about to kill the woman who almost certainly has a BodyguardCrush on him.]]
** [[spoiler: Lampshaded by Lust as she fades into dust]]
** [[spoiler: In Dante's ''Purgatorio'', the lustful are made to pass through a wall of cleansing fire before passing from Purgatory. Lust dies by being incinerated.]]
* TheDarkChick: The only female member of the Homunculi. She's also a manipulator on a team of arrogant sociopaths and brutes.
* DarkActionGirl: You had better believe it.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Her main attack is called the "Ultimate Lance" and can penetrate anything.
* DyingCurse: [[spoiler:To Roy]].
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* EvilGenius: She's probably the best at manipulating people and one of the more strategic of the Homunculi. Not ''The'' EvilGenius in a FiveBadBand sense (that's Wrath's job) but definitely ''an'' EvilGenius.
* FemmeFatalons
* {{Gainaxing}}: Complete with sound effects.
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile]]
* HotGirlsAreBitches
* InSeriesNickname: "Ms. Ultimate Spear", by Greed.
* [[spoiler: KillItWithFire: Roy roasts her repeatedly till her stone runs out. Just as her lance was an inch from spiking through his head.]]
* {{Lust}}: Well, duh! In her case it seems to be a lust for violence and chaos rather than being sexual in nature (though she's certainly an object of lust).
* LightIsNotGood: Her fake name Solaris is associated with the sun.
* {{Made of Iron}}: Even for a Homunculus the woman is tough, taking more punishment than the rest of her siblings put together. No explanation is really given, beyond her own raw {{badass}}ery.
* TheMagnificent: Lust The Lascivious
* ManipulativeBitch: On a far smaller scale than say, Father, but just look at what she did to Havoc.
* MoralityPet: Gluttony seems to be hers; she's genuinely fond of him.
* MsFanservice: What would you expect with [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a name like that?]]
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: "She's dust...I definitely cremated her." Sorry, Roy...
* OfCorsetsSexy
* OppositeSexClone: To an extent. There's some FanDisservice when you notice how she has some of Father's features.
* {{Pride}}: Very much so, despite it not being "her" sin.
* PlayingAgainstType: Both KikukoInoue and LauraBailey
* RavenHairIvorySkin
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Envy's red.
* [[spoiler:SacrificialLion]]: [[spoiler:Inverted/Played with. She's one of the most {{Badass}} Homunculi, yet was killed fairly early on the show to show that Mustang does ''not'' screw around. It's worth noting that her death is also the first real setback that Father has suffered in four hundred years.]]
* SarcasmMode: Switches to this frequently: "Oh no, did I get your ignition gloves all wet? Silly me."
* TheSchlubPubSeductionDeduction: [[spoiler:Poor, paralyzed Havoc...]]
* SmugSnake
* SuperiorSpecies: Believes Homunculi are innately superior to humans.
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TheVamp
* VaporWear
* WeHardlyKnewYe: A mild example, but she dies rather suddenly and much earlier than any other Homunculus (the others all survive until the last arc); and contrary to her incarnation in the 2003 anime, her character doesn't really get any development.
* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: "I've sent [[FatIdiot Gluttony]] and [[HairTriggerTemper Envy]]. They will not fail."
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Her reaction when Roy calls her a monster after showcasing her abilities and Philosopher's Stone. She claims that the homunculi are "the next link in the evolutionary chain" of humanity, however.

->Voiced by: TetsuShiratori (JP), Chris Cason (EN)
-----
* {{Acrofatic}}: Surprisingly quick for his size.
* BackFromTheDead: Scar once exhausted his HealingFactor and killed him for real. However, Father was nearby and able to ressurect him with all his memories without much trouble.
* BaldOfEvil
* BeastAndBeauty: With Lust. It's not [[BrotherSisterIncest romantic]], though.
* BigEater: As per his "sin", he is never ever full.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Lust's Brains.
* TheBrute: Very strong, none too bright, and used by Father and Lust as a living wrecking ball.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Can I eat him/her?"
** IronicEcho: [[spoiler:Pride says it to Greed after absorbing Gluttony and gaining his ravenous hunger.]]
* [[spoiler:DeathByIrony: Eaten by Pride.]]
* DumbMuscle
* ExtremeOmnivore: He practically embodies the trope.
* FatBastard: Though he's hardly mean about it.
* FatIdiot
* ImAHumanitarian
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Who would have expected that Gluttony would end up being eaten by someone else? Still AlasPoorVillain though.]]
* LetsGetDangerous: Face it, Mustang--he's one of the Homunculi. You should have expected him to be NotSoHarmless.
* TheMagnificent: Gluttony The Voracious
* NotSoHarmless: Easily the most docile and least evil of the Homunculi, but once he realizes that Mustang's the one who [[spoiler:killed Lust]], he goes ''ballistic''.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Gluttony is no more evil than a great white shark is. He's just hungry and completely unaware of concepts like morality.
* OneWingedAngel: His chest can open up in a fanged mouth. Unusual for the trope is that he can change back.
* PsychopathicManChild

->Voiced by: MinamiTakayama (JP), WendyPowell (EN)
-----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Noticeably a lot more muscular in ''Brotherhood'' than in the first series.
* [[spoiler: AlasPoorVillain: Invoked by Edward during Envy's death.]]
* AmbiguousGender: [[WordOfGod Nobody knows Envy's true gender, not even Envy]]. That said, other characters refer to Envy with male pronouns.
* '''AxCrazy'''
* BareYourMidriff: A ambiguous version.
* BerserkButton: Envy really, really does not like being called "ugly".
* [[spoiler:BetaTestBaddie: And [[DrivenToSuicide it kills itself]] when someone points it out.]]
* BoisterousWeakling: Brags a lot, despises humans and is prompt to KickTheDog as often as it can. And gets its ass handed to it in pretty much every serious fight it has [[spoiler:except in its OneWingedAngel form… and ''even that one'' [[IncrediblyLamePun backfires]] horribly against Mustang.]] Made even more obvious when it turns out [[spoiler:its real true form is that of a minuscule larva-thingy.]]
* TheBrute: Arguably. Envy's got a HairTriggerTemper, a profoundly limited sense of subtlety, relies on brute force in combat, and seems to be relatively low on the Homunculi totem pole.[[spoiler: It is also the biggest homunculus]].
* ChewingTheScenery: "I'm ''ALLLIIIIIIIIIIIVE!''"
* [[spoiler: ClippedWingAngel]]: [[spoiler:Two ways: first, Envy's ''true'' form is a little [[FetusTerrible fetus-thing]] that you could kill by stepping on it. Second, Envy's attempts to go OneWingedAngel against Roy led to the response, "I can't believe you made yourself a ''bigger'' target." Cue OhCrap.]]

* [[spoiler:DeathByIrony: [[DrivenToSuicide Commits Suicide]] when Ed realizes why Envy is... "Envy."]]
** DontYouDarePityMe
* DoesNotLikeShoes
* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide]]
* EldritchAbomination: Most people freak the hell out when they see Envy's true form. And I'm not just talking about the characters. [[spoiler:And its ''true'' true form would result in pity.]]
* EnemyMine: Briefly worked with Ed and Ling to escape [[spoiler: Gluttony's stomach.]]
* {{Envy}}: [[spoiler:Toward humanity, who can always rise to improve themselves no matter how crushed beyond redemption.]]
** [[spoiler:TheResenter]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: To be fair, it has admitted this. [[spoiler:And [[BetaTestBaddie it pisses it off]].]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Its attempts at being cordial only underscore the fact that it doesn't give a shit about the other character's hatred.
* FalseFlagOperation: [[spoiler:Envy took the form of an Amestrian soldier and fired the shot that started the Ishvalan War]]. Years later, [[spoiler:Envy took the form of Father Cornello to stir up unrest in Lior]].
* [[spoiler: FetusTerrible]]: [[spoiler: [[ClippedWingAngel Its true form]]]].
* ForTheEvulz
* FriendlyEnemy: Likes to ''play'' this role. [[SubvertedTrope It's all lies, of course.]]
* HairTriggerTemper: Hates being insulted, by anyone, about anything, and has a fuse ''shorter than Ed's''.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Loves to cause pain and agony and laugh giddily over it, but if the tables turn expect Envy to bitch and moan about it the loudest of any of the Homunculi.
* [[spoiler:HumiliationConga]] [[spoiler:OutGambitted into its fetus form and carried around. Moments after regaining its powerful form its hunted by Mustang. Then driven to suicide by Ed pointing its fatal flaw.]]
* [[spoiler:HybridMonster]]
* [[spoiler: IJustWantToBeYou]]
* [[spoiler:InferioritySuperiorityComplex: So very much.]]
* {{Irony}}: One of Envy's abilities is to transform into humans. [[spoiler:Which must really tick Envy off, because even though Envy can pass off as a human, deep down Envy knows it can never be one. The one thing that turns the tables in a fight against any of its opponents is that it can only use information it finds out about anyone it transforms into- Hawkeye uses this against it (by [[DoubleSubversion bluffing that Mustang calls her Riza.]])]]
** Is the one who most consistently makes fun of Ed's height, [[spoiler:is later revealed that its true form is [[FetusTerrible a little fish-thing]] that you could hold with two fingers.]]
* JerkAss: To psychopathic levels.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Excels at this. It often backfires, though.
* KickTheDog: Constantly and enjoys it immensely.
* TheMagnificent: Envy The Jealous
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Lust's blue.
* OhCrap: There's no other possible way to describe Envy reaction when Envy realizes [[spoiler:just ''how'' bad of an idea pissing off Roy was]].
** There's also a more minor one when Hawkeye [[BluffTheImposter implies there is something going on between her and the Colonel]] [[spoiler:when Envy is disguised as Mustang]].
* [[spoiler:OneWingedAngel: A giant green monster.]]
* PsychoForHire
* SayItWithHearts
* {{Shapeshifter}}: Ties with UnlimitedWardrobe.
** ShapeshifterBaggage: Averted. Ling notices [[spoiler:that Envy's footprints are unusually deep, indicating the extremely high density of Envy's body, which is due to the enormous size of his/her true form.]]
** ShapeShifterGuiltTrip: Works on Hughes, fails horribly against Roy.
** VoluntaryShapeshifting
* SissyVillain: Unlike the previous adaptation of [[AdaptationalBadass Envy]], this one is effeminate.
* SlasherSmile: Always has one of these--[[spoiler:Envy's true form is composed of a bunch of horrible faces, most bearing this expression as well.]]
* StupidEvil: Not consistently, but pretty often. Envy is just way too sadistic to restrain the urge to brag about its atrocities at times when it's clearly not a best idea. This is also probably why Envy's UnskilledButStrong--Envy just lacks the self-control to be a better fighter.
* UnskilledButStrong: Envy is a ''terrible'' fighter in the manga/''Brotherhood'' adaption. Thanks to its shapeshifting abilities, and the [[spoiler: sheer weight Envy can put behind every blow]], this doesn't often matter [[spoiler: at least until the encounter with Roy]].
* [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown: '''Completely''' loses it after realizing it's outmatched during its "[[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown fight]]" against Roy.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Started the war in Ishval by deliberately shooting an Ishvallan child in the head, while disguised as a soldier.]] Years later, Envy still seems to think of this as one of the most enjoyable things it has ever done.

A homunculus so greedy he won't play second fiddle to anyone, not even his creator. Bodyguard and watchdog to Father, that is until he goes rogue.
->Voiced by: YuuichiNakamura (JP), ChrisPatton (EN), [[spoiler:TroyBaker (Second Greed, EN)]]
-----
* AffablyEvil: He's undeniably the most polite, classy, and the least violent Homunculus of all. Greed even once showed some condolence towards Al when given the false impression that "the brother that attached his soul to the armor" was actually dead and was a touchy subject.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Inverted, his ambition was what drove him to separate from Father and become an AntiVillain.
* AntiVillain: [[SlidingScaleofAntiVillains Type I]] --> [[spoiler: AntiHero: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type IV]]]]
* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead: An unusual variant as Father "absorbed" him and then later injected him into Ling. At first you could think of the second incarnation as a different person, with Greed himself trying to assert that, but he eventually regains the first one's memories.]]
* {{Badass}}
** [[spoiler:BackToBackBadasses: With Ling.]]
** BadassBaritone: Especially in the Japanese Dub.
** BadassLongCoat: Starts wearing one after [[spoiler:possessing Ling's body.]]
** [[spoiler:BadassLonghair: When in Ling's body.]]
** CulturedBadass
* BadGuyBar: The Devil's Nest, his hideout.
* BenevolentBoss: To his minions--or, as he calls them, "possessions".
* BigNo: After [[spoiler:killing [[EliteMook Bido]] triggers him to regain the memories of the rest of his fallen comrades]], it leads him into an [[HeroicBSOD Anti-Heroic BSOD]].
* BookEnds: [[spoiler: Is both the first and last of the "sin" homunculus to die in the series.]].
* {{Catchphrase}}: "I'm called Greed, because I'm greedy. I want money, I want power, I want women, I WANT EVERYTHING!"
** Let's not forget "There's no such thing as 'no such thing.'"
* CodeName: The Ultimate Shield
* CoolShades
* [[spoiler:CradlingYourKill: Does this to Bido, right before his BigNo.]]
* DarkChick: Was this before he betrayed Father.
* DarkIsNotEvil: When he defects from the other Homunculi and eventually sides with the good guys.
* [[spoiler:DeathByIrony: Greed 1 was boiled down for his most valuable part.]]
** [[spoiler: Greed 2 died performing a selfless act and, in his last words, stated that he had gotten all that he could ever want.]]
* DefectorFromDecadence
* [[spoiler:DefiantToTheEnd: He mocks Father and his siblings and laughs like a madman as Father kills him]].
** [[spoiler: Twice.]]
* [[spoiler:DemonicPossession: Of Ling.]]
* [[spoiler: TheDogBitesBack: The only Homunculus to openly rebel against Father. In the final fight, he goes as far as to pull a HeroicSacrifice in order to weaken Father for a final blow]]
* DramaPreservingHandicap: Of the psychological variety- his vanity keeps him from covering his good-looking face with the Ultimate Shield if he can ''possibly'' avoid it, [[spoiler:even when fighting ''[[OneManArmy Wrath]]'']].
* [[spoiler:DyingMomentOfAwesome]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards
* EvilLaugh (or at least Evil Chuckle): very frequently in ''Brotherhood.''
* EvilSoundsDeep: Not in the dub, though.
** [[spoiler: It is now, as TroyBaker voices his second iteration. Also kind of a subversion when you think how his voice was switched to a deeper one in the incarnation that was destined to fight alongside the heroes.]]
* FangsAreEvil: Sort of.
* {{Foil}} / ShadowArchetype: To both Ling and [[spoiler:Wrath]].
** Edward too, they share arrogance and an OedipusComplex.
* GameFace: He looks ''very'' different when he extends the Ultimate Shield over his head.
* [[spoiler: GoOutWithASmile: Both his first and second incarnations in the manga and ''Brotherhood.'' The second is more a traditional example.]]
* {{Greed}}: Obviously.
* HandsomeLech
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]]
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: A variant, since the Ultimate Shield is less armor than it is a part of him, but he never extends it to cover his head, and rarely even his neck, unless he absolutely has no other choice. He says it's because it obscures his pretty face ([[GameFace and to be fair, it does]]), so this also makes his vanity a DramaPreservingHandicap
* HunterOfHisOwnKind
* [[spoiler: IJustWantToBeLoved[=/=]IJustWantToHaveFriends: What turns out to be his truest desire]]
* {{Immortality}}: His goal in life.
* InSeriesNickname: "Mr. Ultimate Shield", by Lust.
* InstantArmor
* ItsAllAboutMe: While [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation a more positive spin could be placed on his actions]] than the one on that page (see trope below), he is, by the nature of the sin he represents, undeniably a massive egomaniac.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold[=/=]HiddenHeartOfGold: He's a selfish greedy (well, it's his NAME) bastard for sure, but he's also shown to genuinely care for his subordinates and he does have a sense of honor.... even if he tries his very hardest to deny it or justify it as his way of keeping his "possessions" in top condition. Also worth noting is that by having the chimeras work for him, he was accepting those who would've very likely otherwise been shunned from society.
* ALadyOnEachArm: How he's introduced.
* LightningBruiser: [[spoiler:The Second Greed was able to fight on almost equal terms with fellow {{Badass}} and LightningBruiser Wrath/Bradley.]]
* MadeOfTitanium: His Ultimate Shield makes him durable even by ''[[NighInvulnerable homunculi]]'' standards.
** MadeOfPlasticine: If he were to take his abilities in the opposite direction. [[spoiler:Which he used to weaken [[BigBad Father]], who was in the middle of absorbing him, quite a bit.]]
* TheMagnificent: Greed The Avaricious
* MoralityPet: His ''possessions.'' [[spoiler: This later extends to Edward and Ling.]]
* [[spoiler:MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Greed kills Bido whom he is unaware is the last of his former minions, the incident, combined with Ling's reprimanding, affects him so much it triggers his memories to come back.]]
* NobleDemon: Greed is obviously far from a saint (seeing as he's supposed to be the embodiment of a ''SIN''), but he's the only Homunculus willing to work with the good guys as long as it suits his ends. He's so obsessed with his own desires that senseless murder in Father's name doesn't interest him, as anything that he could help Father get Greed would rather obtain for himself. [[spoiler:Not to mention the fact that Wrath killed Greed's minions means that Greed has a bone to pick with Wrath, and by extension is against all the other homunculi as well]]. He also has a code of honor that none of the other Homunculi seem to have.
* NotSoDifferent: Just before their final assault on Central, Greed lectures Ed on their similarities -- Ed is motivated by hope and Greed by avarice, and what are hope and greed but different words for desire?
** Now, if we take into account [[spoiler:what Greed truly desires and what Ed is willing to do without alchemy for]], the above actually takes on a new meaning.
** Also interesting is Greed's OedipusComplex toward Father compared to Ed's resentment of Hohenheim for abandoning him as a child, especially since Father and Hohenheim look alike.
** Greed once mocked Ed for being the type of person who can handle taking a beating himself but goes [[BerserkButton nuts]] when people he cares about get hurt. Guess what happens when Greed [[ItsPersonal remembers what happened to his subordinates?]]
** From another angle, in a recent chapter, Father commented on how much Greed reflects his own motivations, indicating ironically that the same qualities that made Greed fight alongside the "good", make Father truly evil.
* OddlySmallOrganization: Despite his often stated interest in world domination, he's never had more than a handful of followers [[spoiler: which was probably foreshadowing of his ''true'' desire for friends.]]
* OneManArmy: He takes out a lot of Central's troops and destroyed a truck with his bare hands.
* TheOtherDarrin: He's voiced by ChrisPatton until [[spoiler: he's reborn in Ling's body (which sort of justifies the trope considering he is in a new body with different vocal chords)]], after which he's replaced with TroyBaker. Greed's voice remains unchanged throughout in Japanese; the switch was necessitated by Patton leaving the voice business.
* [[spoiler:[[RedemptionEqualsDeath Redemption Equals]] HeroicSacrifice: His final death can be seen as this for Ling. When Father absorbs Greed into his arm, Greed has Lan Fan chop it off so a) Father can't possibly absorb Ling as well anymore and b) so he can [[TakingYouWithMe wreak havoc in Father's body]].]]
* RegretEatingMe: The first Greed, once it becomes apparent what Father is going to do to him.
* TheScream: [[spoiler:After killing Bido triggers his old memories to return.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: [[spoiler: While Ling and Lan Fan lay the hurt on Gluttony in the dark, Greed sits back inside Ling and watches, commenting on how Ling's "quite the stud, having a fine woman like her hidden away"]]
** He also compliments Ed on his choice of "possessions" after meeting Winry.
* SlasherSmile: In his normal form, he has unusually pointy teeth which very much resembles those of a shark, but he arguably has a friendly version of this; his Ultimate Shield form is a more traditional example (it has no lips, so his teeth are always on display).
* TheStarscream: Greed I was this to Father. Greed II is more SixthRangerTraitor.
* TakeOverTheWorld: His ultimate goal in life. [[spoiler: ....Supposedly.]]
* TokenHeroicOrc
* TrueCompanions: What he, no matter how he denies it, had with his chimeric "possessions" before their deaths. [[spoiler:And ultimately, the one thing he desired the most.]]
* VillainsNeverLie: "It's my policy to always tell the truth".
** [[spoiler: Subverts it for the first and last time to spare Ling from being dragged along in his HeroicSacrifice.]]
* [[spoiler: [[WhatTheHellHero What the Hell, Anti-Villian?]]: Gets this harshly from Ling after killing Bido, which pushes him into his MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment.]]
* WhiteSheep: The only homunculus who isn't either a casual murderer or psychopath, nor does he see particularly see humans as beneath him.
* WildCard: As befits a creature devoted solely to his own desires.
* WouldntHitAGirl: "I don't fight women, I'm not that kind of guy."
* [[spoiler:YouWillBeAssimilated: Father tries this on Greed after he loses control of God. [[DyingMomentOfAwesome It backfires magnificently.]]]]

* [[spoiler:DeathByIrony: Worn out after a long fight.]]
* DumbMuscle
* EarlyBirdCameo: Gets a two-panel appearance thirty-four chapters before he's incorporated into the plot.
* EpicFlail: His chains
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile: He's happy that he has an excuse to just not work anymore.]]
* HeavySleeper
* HulkSpeak
* [[spoiler:ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice]]
* TheJuggernaut
* LazyBum: In a physical and moral sense. Not only is Sloth constantly falling asleep, but he lacks the willpower to say "no" to the other Homunculi, and usually goes through objects and people rather than around them. In a weird way, his laziness is what makes him dangerous.
* LetsGetDangerous: When he reveals [[spoiler:his SuperSpeed]]
* [[spoiler:LightningBruiser: When he wants to move, he [[FlashStep can move so fast that he can't be seen]].]]
** [[spoiler:{{Irony}}: So the fastest moving Homunculus is the one who'd rather not move at all?]]
* MadeOfTitanium: On top of the standard homunculus HealingFactor, to boot. Anything less than a tank round won't even put a mark on him.
* MadnessMantra: ''"Too...Much...Work..."''
* TheMagnificent: Sloth The Indolent
* MonsterSobStory: [[spoiler: Poor Sloth isn't even malevolent unless ordered to be. All he wants to do is sleep, but his physical strength makes Father force him to do all the digging in to make the nationwide transmutation circle.]]
* NighInvulnerability: Probably the toughest and undoubtedly the strongest of the seven Homunculi.
* PunchClockVillain: Compared to the other Homunculi, all Sloth wants to do is sleep.
* SmashMook
* SuperStrength
* [[spoiler:SuperSpeed]]
** [[spoiler:TooFastToStop: Speed of a cheetah, agility of an 18-wheeler.]]
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Has the least screentime out of any of the Homonculi.

Serves as TheDragon to Father. The eldest and deadliest of the Homunculi. Father's second-in-command and minder of the other Homunculi. [[spoiler:In a shocking twist, it is revealed that he is living in Central under the disguise of Selim Bradley, King Bradley/Wrath's son.]]
->Voiced by: [[spoiler:YukoSanpei (JP), BrittneyKarbowski (EN)]]
-----
* {{Badass}}: He can control shadows that can rip apart and kill people with little effort at all. That's undeniably {{badass}}.
* BadPowersBadPeople: Gee, what a surprise. The most unrepentantly evil Homunculus is the one who uses living shadows to eat your soul. Who'd've thought it?
* BigBrotherMentor: In a weird sort of way he seems to view himself as one to Wrath, who is the youngest of the Homunculi.
* BookEnds: [[spoiler:He is the first homonculus Father created and the last of them left.]]
* CastingAShadow
** LivingShadow
* [[spoiler:CompulsorySchoolAge]]: [[spoiler:He looks like a child and goes to school, but he is actually the oldest of the homunculi at over 300 years old.]]
* [[spoiler:CreepyChild]]
* [[spoiler:CuteAndPsycho]]
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:He prefers not to force anyone through the "Gate", since it takes a large toll on him.]]
* [[spoiler:DeathByIrony: Massively underestimates both his opponent and someone who he'd [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness absorbed]], and [[AssimilationBackfire consequently gets his own attack turned back on him]]. PrideBeforeAFall indeed.]]
* [[spoiler:DeliberatelyCuteChild]]
* DevourTheDragon: Repeatedly. Pride callously murders [[spoiler:Gluttony, Kimblee (though in this case, he was already dying), and the alchemic doctor]] to gain their abilities and/or knowledge.
* DissonantSerenity
* [[spoiler: TheDogWasTheMastermind]]
* TheDragon: To Father.
* TheDreaded: ''No one'' wants to fight against Pride, considering both his abilities and his cruelty. Even Greed considers him to be a CompleteMonster.
* EldritchAbomination: A living shadow composed of eyes, teeth, and tentacles which follow you everywhere.
* [[spoiler: EnfanteTerrible]]
* [[spoiler:EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas]]
* GameFace: [[spoiler:Once his identity is revealed, he's drawn with much sharper, edgier features in contrast to Selim's rounded, almost chibi looks. Especially apparent after he eats Gluttony.]]
** UhOhEyes: His GameFace has PurpleEyes with very small pupils.
* GrandTheftMe: Attempts this on [[spoiler:Edward Elric. Backfires when Ed invades him instead.]]
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: [[spoiler:Until his reveal.]]
* HeelFaceMindScrew: In the course of destroying Pride, Ed somehow knows to rip out Pride's [[spoiler:true form, a helpless, miniature baby. As a result, Pride has no memories of his past and is purged of his malicious personality, and this, coupled with being raised by Mrs. Bradley, means that he becomes the good little boy [[BecomingTheMask he had previously pretended to be]].]]
** To clarify, [[spoiler: not his true, true form of the Lilliputian infant. It's his creepy shadow that's his regular true form inside the Bradley container that creeps people out]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Turns out [[spoiler:absorbing [[MoralSociopathy Kimblee]]]] wasn't a good idea.
* {{Hypocrite}}: For all his talks about how worthless humans are, he at the end is willing to [[spoiler:steal Edward's body]] just to escape his predicament, to keep himself from dying.
** "I can't believe you could treat your own brother with such hostility, Greed! Honestly, [[spoiler:I might have to eat you!]]"
* [[spoiler:IJustWantToBeLoved]]
* [[spoiler:ImAHumanitarian: Likes to eat his allies when they are no longer of use ([[{{Irony}} Gluttony]], Kimblee, and the creepy gold-toothed doctor). Disturbingly, after he eats Gluttony, Pride comments on inheriting Gluttony's ravenous hunger for people. However, he doesn't think of it as cannibalism, but rather absorbing them into his collective mind.]]
* [[spoiler: InfantImmortality: He is the only homunculus who looks like a child, and also the only homunculus who survives.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: Personified. Pride ''can't'' give a damn about anyone else, due to the nature of his sin. [[spoiler:Flipped around after his rebirth, when he asks his mother if [[FriendToAllLivingThings an injured bird can be "fixed"]]]]
* [[spoiler:LastOfHisKind: Lost memories notwithstanding, he is the only Homunculus to survive the events of the story.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: Many of Pride's cruel acts came back to bite him in the end.
** [[spoiler: When you think about it, being raised as a human child, with his memories erased? From his original perspective that's a FateWorseThanDeath]]
* LightIsNotGood[=/=]DarkIsEvil: He can use shadow only if there is light and if the location is completely dark he can't use his shadow
* [[spoiler:LossOfIdentity: After his "death", he is essentially reborn with the mind of an innocent child.]]
* [[spoiler:LoveRedeems]]
* TheMagnificent: Pride The Arrogant
* MegaManning
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Mrs. Bradley]] is the sole human to whom Pride shows any sympathy.
* {{Narcissist}}: Unsurprisingly. Pride can care about other people if he really, really tries (see Mrs. Bradley and Father), but he's far more interested in himself, to the point of bordering on out and out psychopathy.
* NietzscheWannabe
* ObfuscatingStupidity
** Or rather, [[spoiler:Obfuscating Childhood.]]
* ParanoiaFuel: InUniverse example for Riza Hawkeye.
* {{Pride}}
* [[spoiler:PrideBeforeAFall: Feel free to laugh.]]
* [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really Three Hundred Years Old]]
* SiblingYinYang: Subtly has this with Wrath.
* ShapeshifterBaggage: Seemingly played straight, unlike Envy above. Drawing his shadow back into his "container" doesn't seem to affect his weight or mass at all, despite the fact that the shadow itself is large enough to extend throughout the tunnel of the nationwide transmutation circle.
* SlasherSmile: Gains one after [[spoiler:eating Gluttony]].
* SmugSnake: Boy is he ever.
* [[spoiler:StepfordSmiler: As Selim Bradley.]]
* StrongerSibling: Compared to his younger siblings.
* TaremeEyes[=/=]TsurimeEyes: [[spoiler: Physical eye difference from Selim to Pride]]
* {{Troll}}: Enjoys teasing Ed about his height [[spoiler: while under the disguise as King Bradley's cute, innocent, and of course well-guarded son. He even delights in the fact that it annoys Ed.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: Nearly every single thing he does, he does to further Father's plan.
* VillainOverride: [[spoiler: Forces Roy to perform human transmutation, at the cost of his power.]]
* [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown: Literal and figurative. His body begins to flake apart when he uses it to force Mustang into performing human transmutation. Later on, he finally snaps when Ed calls him out on his blind loyalty to Father, who doesn't give a shit about him, and "dies" screaming hysterically and begging for his life.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: [[WeakenedByTheLight Bright flashes of light can hurt him]] and his shadow-based powers are useless in complete darkness and outside of the national transmutation circle and Central Area.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Implied to be one of his motivations when [[spoiler:Ed asks why he obeys Father in the first place, pointing out that Father doesn't really care about him.]]

Not a Homunculus, but a human in cahoots with them. A mysterious alchemist working for Father, this unnamed doctor is a master of biological alchemy.
->Voiced by: Bon Ishihara (JP), Mark Stoddard (EN)
-----
* BadassLabcoat: An old skinny man who nevertheless shows no fear when confronted by [[PersonOfMassDestruction Roy]], [[{{Badass}} Ed]], [[HeroKiller Scar]], [[ColdSniper Riza]], and the Chimeras, stays totally cool under fire, and manages to defeat them through careful planning and the judicious use of {{Elite Mooks}}. He's repulsive, but that earns him some {{badass}} cred.
* BodyHorror: Whoever he paid to bling out his mouth must be pretty creepy indeed, but it gets a whole lot worse. [[spoiler: After being pushed through the Gate, he ends up as a hideously deformed "ball"]]
* ChekhovsGunman: He's first seen [[spoiler:performing the fusion of a human with a Philosopher's stone]] in Bradley's flashback, but becomes quite important later on.
* EliteMooks: Controls the failed Fuhrer candidates and uses them as his muscle, acting as the [[BrainsAndBrawn brains to their brawn]].
* EvilGenius
* EvilOldFolks: Older even than Bradley and it shows.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Maintains a cheerful and even somewhat jokey demeanor while throwing his subordinates to die against the heroes and [[spoiler:slitting Riza's throat.]]
* FanNickname: Due to his [[NoNameGiven lack of name]], fans had to be rather creative. Most people use a variation of "Bastard Doctor with the Gold Tooth," "That Bastard in White," or "[[spoiler:Bastard Doctor Who Slit Riza's Throat]]."
* [[spoiler:FateWorseThanDeath: Implied - he's not present in the usual omakes that show the dead characters, hinting that the he's still alive in that deformed "ball."]]
* FishEyes: Behind his glasses. These ones are ''not'' funny in the slightest however, and only serve to make him look more unbalanced.
* ForScience
* GoldTooth: Obviously. Somehow the resulting [[TwinkleSmile twinkle]] only makes his constant SlasherSmile more disturbing.
* GoodPowersBadPeople: Knows medical alchemy, but uses those abilities for sick experiments and other evil purposes.
* [[spoiler:HoistByHisOwnPetard: Taken out by about seven of his own creations, all of whom hated him.]]
** Six. Heinkel was absent.
* MadDoctor
* MadScientist: The alchemic equivalent.
* ManInWhite: His labcoat and white shirt.
* TheMedic: Villainous example.
* MisanthropeSupreme: Sides with the Homunculi, who seek to eradicate all of Amestris and regard his species as lower than insects.
* NoNameGiven
* ScaryShinyGlasses: That picture up there.
* SlasherSmile: Constantly sports one.
** TwinkleSmile: Courtesy of his gold tooth. The result is creepy as hell.
* SmugSnake: Altogether too pleased with himself about his various bastardly actions.
* [[spoiler:WeHardlyKnewYe: Dies with very little (but effective) characterization after only appearing in a few random scenes through the entire series.]]
* WeHaveReserves: Discards his EliteMooks like the expendable pawns they are.
* [[spoiler:YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness]]

[[folder:Mannequin Soldiers]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mannequins11_7183.png
Not referred to as hommunculi, but are similar in being another group of {{Artificial Human}}s. They are hideous, one-eyed, cannibalistic and hard to kill monsters created by ripping out people's souls and putting them in artificial bodies. The Military Conspiracy planned to use them as an unstoppable army, but when released, things didn't exactly go as planned...
-----
* AndIMustScream: They are trapped in freakish bodies and feel constant pain.
* BigDamnVillains: They eat several participants in the GovernmentConspiracy and prompt the troops loyal to Central to pull a HeelFaceTurn to have help fighting them off.
* FromACertainPointOfView: The officer who decides to release them does so informed they will be loyal to their father. This almost certainly means they will only obey orders from Father, and unsurprisingly, the officer is immediately devoured by them.
* GoneHorriblyWrong
* HiveMind: They seem to have one to some degree, as others will react when one of them is injured and they scream in unison.
* ImAHumanitarian
* MonkeyMoralityPose: Three of them do this in one of the anime's eyecatches.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Also referred to as "the Immortal Legion".
* NightOfTheLivingMooks
* PsychopathicManchild: They creepily evoke children in the way they cry out in pain and to voice their hunger. It's possible that some of them actually do contain children's souls.
** "Possible" nothing- at least one of them was ''calling for its mommy''.
