Character page for the enemies (minions and main antagonists) of ''VideoGame/KingdomRush''.

* HeavilyArmoredMook: The Brigands, Marauders and Raiders all have very good armour. The Pillagers trade out their armour for Magic Resistance, making them very annoying.

* HeavilyArmoredMook: The Troll Breakers have a lot of armour on them.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Carries around a colossal spiked shield... which actually works.

* HopelessBossFight: He's the villain of an [[EndlessGame endless level]] where the enemies get progressively tougher and stronger and the only way to end the level is via losing all your lives.

* HeavilyArmoredMook: Giant Scorpions have a huge amount of armor to go with a good amount of HP, necessitating magic towers to damage them.

* PromotedToPlayable:
** The Fallen are playable in ''Vengeance'' via a usable item that summons a sarcophagus similar to those spawned by the Sand Wraiths.
** Dune Terrors can be summoned by the Sandworm Hollow tower in ''Vengeance''.
** Isfet the Warlock is essentially a playable Sand Wraith HeroUnit. There's also one that spawns 3 mummies to aid you in exchange for 120 gold in the stage "The Lost Empire".

* GiantMook: [[KillerGorilla Gorillons]] are huge gorillas with a lot of health and attack an area. Fortunately, they're slow.

* HeavilyArmoredMook: Deviltides have 50% physical armour, Blacksurges have 70%. Bloodshells have extreme amounts of physical armor (95%) and are immune to artillery.

* PromotedToPlayable: In ''Vengeance'', the Hero Jun'Pai is a playable Bluegale, while the Deep Devil's Reef allows you to play as Greenfins, Redspines (when upgraded) and Bluegales.

* PromotedToPlayable: Ghosts and Zombies are playable as tower units in ''Vengeance'', Margosa from ''Vengeance'' is essentially a playable Vampiresa, and Jack O' Lantern becomes a playable hero in ''Vengeance''. Ghouls aren't directly playable as towers or heroes, but can be summoned by the hero Jack O' Lantern as allies.

* PromotedToPlayable: In a limited way. ''Origins'' allows you to buy his services for a sum of coins, and he'll torch all the enemies on the lanes. He appears to become fully playable as a HeroUnit in ''Vengeance''... while working for Vez'nan.

* HopelessBossFight: He's the villain of an [[EndlessGame endless level]] where the enemies get progressively tougher and stronger and the only way to end the level is via losing all your lives.

* HopelessBossFight: She's the villain of an [[EndlessGame endless level]] where the enemies get progressively tougher and stronger and the only way to end the level is via losing all your lives.

* WeakToMagic: Blood Gnolls are the only enemies in the series that have a magic ''weakness'', causing them to take extra damage from magic.

* HopelessBossFight: She's the villain of an [[EndlessGame endless level]] where the enemies get progressively tougher and stronger and the only way to end the level is via losing all your lives.

* GiantMook: Crystal Demolishers are golems with slow speed but high HP and hit insanely hard while also dealing massive amounts of area damage when killed. While they lack armour, they can gain armour from nearby Anurian Channelers, and they also appear in greater numbers than [=MechaDwarf MK.9s=], Frost Giants, and High Sorcerers.

* BornAsAnAdult: The velociraptor enemies can lay eggs that hatch into a fully-grown velociraptor after a few seconds. The raptor nests will also spawn fully-grown raptors.

* HollywoodPrehistory: Cavemen Dwarves are living alongside dinosaurs in an previously-undiscovered area of the Dwarven caves.

* RockBeatsLaser: These primitive Dwarves are much more dangerous and durable than their more technologically-advanced cousins. Prehistoric Dwarves have more health than the [=MechaDwarves Mk. 9=] and hit harder, despite wearing caveman clothing and wielding a stone hammer for a weapon.

* DropTheHammer: His throne mech's other melee weapon is a hammer.

* ProactiveBoss: Constantly harasses your forces in the ''Silveroak Outpost'' level by either shooting them with her bow or by summoning Elven Rangers to attack you. Although she's attackable, you're not required to beat her to win.

* FinalBoss: The final boss enemy encountered in the game. You have to face three of them, one after another.

* MakeMyMonsterGrow: They're human sized units who take a growth potion to become huge in order to face off Vez'nan's giant Archdemon. They shrink back down to normal when killed.

* ActionBomb: Goblin Zappers blow up upon death.

* FantasticRacism: The Orcs, Goblins and Ogres used to have this for each other, however, the raids by the bandits, as well as the heroism of ''Veruk'', allowed them to tolerate each other and lay their grudges for each other to rest, forever. Currently, this is directed towards the humans (but mostly the bandits).

* GiantMook: The Ogre and the Forest Trolls. The former is encountered early and has very high health and attack but no armor, while the latter is more stronger than the Ogre and has regeneration.

* MookCommander: The Shamans could be considered this, since they are important to the enemies' attack.
** MookMedic: They are definitely this though.

* MookMaker: The Necromancer can create Skeletons and Skeleton Knights around them at any given time.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: The Chieftain, Pathfinder and Breaker, use a drumstick, sled and log as weapons, respectively.

* MookMaker: Spider Matriarchs lay eggs that hatch into three Spider Hatchlings.

* MookMaker: Just like Spider Matriarchs, Noxious Creepers spawn smaller spider units at a rapid rate.

* TinTyrant

* EatingTheEnemy: How he deals with soldiers and reinforcements.
** Your troops are later seen eating ''him'' in the Heroic and Iron Challenges, roasting his eyeballs over a campfire and his legs on a spit, turning above the campfire.

* FallenHero: Much to the surprise and grief of your troops. His recently revealed StartOfDarkness through the [=Ironhide=] Games website reveals that this went into affect after his lands were attacked by brutal raiding parties, and his insistence on an ancient, dangerous spell, cast by the coven of white witches who served him. This resulted in TheCorruption of his lands in the long term and forced him into a state of undeath, determined to finish what he started.

* MookDebutCutscene: It's not so much a cutscene as it is a glorified animation, but the Executioner gets a pretty awesome one in Buccaneer's Den when he cuts down an entire path through a forest, causing a new enemy entry point in the level.

* ColdSniper: The Deathcoils are enemy snipers with a range of around half the screen.

* LightningLash: The Brutes wield a pair of enormous plasma whips that are ''deadly'', especially whenever they use their [=AoE=] "Cool Energy Whips" attack.

* SquashedFlat: The Warlord when Quincon is defeated and falls on his back.

%%* DropTheHammer:

** All of them have quite a bit of Magic Resistance as well.

* HeavilyArmoredMook: The Blood Ogres and Ogre Magi have 50% and 75% magic resistance respectively.

* CloudCuckooLander: Bram's brother, who seems to be still alive after his head was cut off and mounted on a pike. He is rather crazy and comical, talks illogically and frequently leaves comments that have no relation to what Bram (who survives his decapitation as well) says.

* FieldPromotion: This is the Troop Captain's ability. Their FlavorText shows that they're the ones in charge of training Linirea's Recruits, and when on the field they will promote Recruits into [[HeavilyArmoredMook Footmen]] by shouting.

* HeroKiller: While not an InstakillMook, the Winter Lords are capable of ensuring the death of a HeroUnit in a single strike, thanks to the persistent frostbite their attack inflicts. The only characters who can survive are Jigou via his regeneration, and Asra, Tramin and Jack O' Lantern with their fast transport abilities that remove the status, any other hero can only [[YouAreAlreadyDead wait for the inevitable]].

* HeavilyArmoredMook: Cave Dwarves are armored, gregarious dwarves.

* RockBeatsLaser: These primitive Dwarves are much more dangerous and durable than their more technologically-advanced counterparts. The Prehistoric Dwarves have more health than the [=MechaDwarf Mk. 9s=] and hit harder, despite wearing caveman clothing and wielding a stone hammer for a weapon.

* MiniBoss: [[WarElephants War Elephants and Drum Elephants]] like Cerberus from the first game. Both elephants are [[MightyGlacier slow, but insanely tough]], have huge armor, can't be blocked since they ''[[TrampledUnderfoot trample anything in their way with constant damage dealt]]'', and count as this trope which means they have full ContractualBossImmunity against slows, stuns, and instant kills. If that's not enough, each elephant comes with an added ability: War Elephants house Legion Archers that shoot your troops that is out of elephant's range, while Drum Elephants play an inspiring beat that improves the stats of nearby foes. Thankfully, they only appear in later stages and are introduced in later waves of stage 4, having the tendency to come out in quantity of one person lane, but that is a small relief if you have to deal with this thing and other enemies at the same time. Come stage five, one even spawns as soon as ''wave 6!''

** Djinnis will turn your troops into useless animals. It's not a OneHitKill like in ''Frontiers'', but instead disables them for a long time.

* WarElephants: Two of them, both of which serve as {{Mini Boss}}es with ContractualBossImmunity. They have a giant amount of health, [[TheJuggernaut cannot be blocked by troops or stunned]], instead causing troops touching them to be TrampledUnderfoot. War Elephants have archers on top that rain arrows on your troops, while Drum Elephants have a drummer [[MookCommander that buffs Hammerhold troops around them]].

* DropTheHammer: Their main weapon of choice is a huge spiked hammer.

* WeakToMagic: Downplayed. While they sport both armour ''and'' magic resistance, their 60% armour and 40% magic resistance means they are more vulnerable to magic damage than physical assault.

* HeroKiller: His abduction attack can instantly kill your hero regardless of their health.

* MightyGlacier: The Gulaemons and Cerberus are very slow, powerful enemies.

* ThouShaltNotKill: The Djinni's flavor text mentions that they are bound to pacts and must protect the desert without harming people. Yet, they don't need to be deadly to be terrific protectors, as your troops/heroes [[ForcedTransformation turned into goats/ostriches/foxes]] can attest.
