History Characters / MapleStoryEnemies

* EvilCounterpart: To Empress Cygnus herself. Controls the underground city of Azwan by force and has an army of skeletons and wolves at her disposal. Could also be one to Mercedes, considering she's queen of a city of elves.

* EvilCounterpart: To Empress Cygnus herself. Controls the underground city of Azwan by force and has an army of skeletons and wolves at her disposal.

* KudzuTrap: Those hats are still dangerous even after he's reduced to zero HP.

* KudzuTrap: The mirror still works after she's reduced to zero HP, potentially becoming this.

* KudzuTrap: If you reduce him to zero HP while he's in the middle of an attack, he still gets to finish the attack, and can potentially kill your character. This guy is just too mean to know he's beat.

* AbiguouslyHuman:The Showa Town look human at first, and the Boss is assumed to be such, but are classified as Devils in the Creature Codex. The actual BossBattle with him (showing him to be clearly not human) hints that the whole gang is more infernal than they look.

* ThowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: With Damien, you have to wonder if his weapon was ever intended to be used the way swords usually are. His standard attack is to throw it, and he can make a called shot by charging it for a second or two. During the second wave, the blade can turn into several at once as he throws them, and during the third, it can lock onto a target.

* FatalFlaw: He undermines emotions and attempts to remove them from his creations, but more than once his own creations either develop emotions or access emotions that he thought he had suppressed, causing them to turn on him. [[spoiler: This especially bites him in the ass at the end of Black Heaven when his robots, who he had just set to self-destruct, latch onto his escape pod because of their emotional attachment to their "father".]]

[[quoteright:101:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_inline_mxrvosgvlb1rs5ezb.gif]]
A powerful dream manipulator who came in contact with the Black Mage through his dreams while he was still sealed. Her primary use of her power is to break apart the Maple Alliance by plaguing Maple World with nightmares of a BadFuture where the members of the Maple Alliance have turned against Maple World and allied with the Black Mage.

* BulletHell: Her boss fight amounts to this, firing tons of projectiles and lasers that make it almost impossible to dodge.
* DreamWeaver: So powerful she can even manipulate the dreams of gods.
* MeaningfulName: As in Lucid Dreaming, the ability to realize one is in a dream and thus control it.
* TalkingInYourSleep: The Black Mage uses Lucid to confront Shade in their dreams so that he can laugh at his misfortune.

!Velderoth
[[quoteright:140:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mob_velderoth.png]]
Kaiser's and Angelic Buster's childhood friend. After being trashed by Magnus even with the backup of Kaiser and Angelic Buster (though there weren't near their full power yet), he leaves Pantheon to become stronger to defeat Magnus. Unfortunately, he loses sight of his goal and instead joins Magnus's forces, becoming what he hated most.

* ThowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: With Damien, you have to wonder if it was ever intended to be used the way swords usually are. His standard attack is to throw it, and he can make a called shot by charging it for a second or two. During the second wave, the blade can turn into several at once as he throws them, and during the third, it can lock onto a target.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: Was absolutely adorable as a kid as seen when he sees snow for the first time.
* WalkingWasteland: Starting at stage two of the battle, Damien can create a zone where opponents will gradually lose HP, potions and other consumables will be less effective, and Damien himself will take less damage.

Resident ButtMonkey and Orchid'd most loyal subordinate. As his title implies he uses puppets in combat but... he's not very good at it to say the least.

* KillItWithFire: In Chaos mode, she can set an enemy on fire, dealing a certain amount of damage over time, and she can do it multiple times, repeatedly for additional damage

* BelligerentSexualTension: Her Friendstory version has this with Magnus, with the goal of one arc of the story being to [[ShipperOnDeck ship them together]] in order to get them off the students' backs. [[spoiler:Do Friendstory a second time, and TheStinger for that chapter reveals they are still dating in secret.]]

* FauxAffiblyEvil: He gives the players a warm, exuberant "WELCOME!" before attacking them.

* FauxAffiblyEvil: When woken up, she gives a warm welcome to her guests, followed by, "Please allow me to mourn over your imminent demise!"

* MultipleHeadCase: She has four faces, each with its own attack.

* FauxAffablyEvil: When woken up, she gives a warm welcome to her guests, followed by, "Please allow me to mourn over your imminent demise!"

!!Tropes associated with Crimson Queen

* CastingAShadow:
* FemmeFatalons: Her main weapons are her claws, and they have a different effect depending on which face she currently has. Simmering [[PowerNullifier Seals your Skills]], Wrathful causes blindness, and they Poison in Sorrowful and Joyous.

[[folder: Other Monsters and Antagonists]]
!Lord Balrog
A demonic beast that was once sealed in the Underground Temple in Sleepywood long ago, it has been resurrected from the darkness via unknown means. If not sealed again, Maple World is in grave danger.

!!Tropes associated with Lord Balrog

* AttackReflector: Only when reduced to 50% HP, but when that happens, it can be lethal, given the level of players at the time.
* BreakingTheBonds: It’s trying to do this. When each limb is reduced to zero HP, the chains around it are re-secured, and when all limbs are secured, the body is vulnerable.
* CognizantLimbs: Its arms and body are separate, and you have to defeat all of them in turn.
* HealingFactor: It can heal itself of a massive amount of damage every few minutes; hitting the nearby pillars can halt this.
* HeroKiller: The legendary hero Tristan defeated it in the first place, but sacrificed himself to do so. He lives on as a benign spirit.
* LoneWolfBoss: It seems to have no connection to the Black Mage at all. In fact, it wants to rule Maple World itself.
* MonsterProgenitor: While not outright stated, he's a huge version of a Barlog, smaller demons that are seen often in the game.
* ObviouslyEvil: Guy's got [[HornsOfVillainy horns]], [[GoodWingsEvilWings wings]], big claws, the whole Evil package.
* SealedEvilInACan: And the players have to keep it sealed.
* StationaryBoss: This guy is way too big to move, so he stays still, attacking the players with magic.
* UnwinnableByMistake: Currently, there are two quests involving it that are impossible to complete due to the level cutoff. Both require defeating it 200 times, which cannot be done without passing the cutoff level and no longer having access to the quest.

!Zakum
Once a peaceful tree spirit who lived deep in the minds of El Nath, Zakum was corrupted by the greed of humans who tore the caves apart in search of ore. After subjugating the townsfolk, it forced them to build it a powerful body out of stone. Since then, the now-evil spirit resides in the statue, and has recently woken up once more.

The upgrade into v.172.2.0 has greatly changed Zakum, making him far more powerful in Chaos Mode, but made the experience and treasure rewarded better.

!!Tropes associated with Zakum

* CollapsingCeilingBoss: Originally, this occurred through the entire fight; after the upgrade, only when his arms are blown off, but they do much more damage.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: Ironically enough, his lair is one of the few places in the Dead Mine where lava can’t hurt you at all, being there just for show.
* DidntNeedThoseAnyway: He's actually far more dangerous without its arms.
* EenieMeenieMinyMoai: Not only does he look like a big one, all the mobs he summons look like small ones.
* ElementalPowers: Originally, he attacked with lightning, fire, and ice. He uses mostly physical attacks after the revamp, but can still set the floor on fire, which can kill you quickly unless you hop on the platforms.
* GiantFootOfStomping: Giant ''hands'' of stomping! And once he loses them, he doesn’t need limbs to do it at all! He can also smash a player between them once he loses about 50% health.
* MookMaker: Originally, he could summon waves of small, flying Moai to attack the players; seeing as they were more of an annoyance than a threat to most players, this stopped post-revamp.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Zigzagged. Originally, his six arms were destroyed fast, and he could only be hurt afterwards. However, after the revamp, they cannot be blown off until his health is reduced to about 25%, and before that, are lethal, able to squash even high level characters flat instantly.
* LoneWolfBoss: Maybe. When defeated on chaos Mode, two of the Black Mage’s henchmen appear and make an ominous threat. Possibly, he was planning to recruit him.
* StarterVillain: Seeing as you can access Easy Mode as early as Level 50, he’s likely the first major Boss you’ll come across.
* StationaryBoss: Originally, he was this, given its size and shape. Post-revamp, he can move clumsily once its arms are blown off, and can crush a player under his bulk.
* TookALevelInBadass: AND HOW! Originally an unintentional joke villain, the latest upgrade made his Chaos form far deadlier, far harder to hurt and able to crush six foes at once with all his arms.
* WhenTreesAttack: Well, uh, the spirit of a tree in a {{Golem}}’s body, [[ItMakesSenseInContext sort of.]]

!Horntail
An evil, three-headed dragon who lairs deep within Minar Forest, it rebelled against the Nine Spirits' rule and distorted the area with evil in order to kidnap an egg of the benign Nine Spirit Dragon and consolidate its power. Lurking inside the Cave of Life, it now desires to rule the forest and subjugate the peaceful Halfingers.

!!Tropes associated with Horntail
* BreathWeapon: Fire from his central head, ice from his left, and lightning from his right.
* CognizantLimbs: It’s three heads, legs, two arms, and tail must all be defeated separately, and each has its own function. You have to fight the left and right head before fighting Horntail as a whole.
* CollapsingCeilingBoss: You have to deal with falling rocks through the entire fight.
* DeadlyGas: He lashes his tail frequently, sending out gas that can inflict the Poison condition.
* DragonsPreferPrincesses: Well, Morai isn’t a princess, but she’s still an attractive young woman that is being held hostage by Horntail; while you cannot free her, she can give you some good advice and information.
* FlunkyBoss: Summons ''swarms'' of Drakes during the Battle.
* HealingFactor: So long as his wings are intact, they can heal every part of him.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons
* HypnoRay: So long as his hands are intact, he can inflict the Seduce condition, an annoying ability that keeps a character from moving, attacking, or using skills, which is hard to undo.
* GiantFootOfStomping: His feet can do a lot of damage so long as they are intact.
* LoneWolfBoss: Maybe again. Much like Zakum, two Black Mage minions appear when he’s defeated on Chaos Mode.
* StationaryBoss: He's even bigger than Zakum, and doesn't move from his spot once the main battle starts.
* TakenForGranite: Happens to him when defeated.
* WalkingWasteland: Minar Forest was a nice place before it showed up, and while some of it still is, half of it is a scarred badland with savage reptilian beasts and undead monsters close to the Cave of Life, which now is anything but.

!Pink Bean
A strange being accidentally summoned summoned through the Goddess' mirror by a wizard named Kirstun, who was actually trying to bring back the Black Mage. Don't let his adorable appearance fool you!

!!Tropes associated with Pink Bean
* AwesomeButTemporary: As a playable character, players only got to keep him for a few months, and this was fortunate, as he could have become a TierInducedScrappy quickly.
* AttackReflector: Both him ''and'' the statues can do this. Ironically, many of his Skills as a playable character can avoid this annoying defense.
* BackgroundBoss: You have to defeat the five statues in the arena before he joins the battle.
* BreakoutCharacter: Seriously, the players ''love'' this guy. Pink Bean costumes, chairs, mounts, and equips (Cash and in-game) are everywhere in Maple World.
* BroughtDownToNormal: He's far less powerful as a playable character, of course, due to a curse cast by Black Bean.
* CombatMedic: While in a party, his Everybody Happy! Skill buffs the whole party with bonuses to EXP, Speed, Attack Power, and Magic Attack Power.
* ComedyAsAWeapon: Among the gadgets he uses in a fight are pogo sticks, [[ParasolOfPain umbrellas]], and yo-yos.
* EvilCounterpart: He has one named Black Bean, although little is known about him.
* GreenThumb: As a playable character, his Instant Garden Skill grows a ManEatingPlant to help him.
* NoSell: The statues take half-damage from ''all'' attacks except Physical; Pink Bean himself is tougher, resisting that too.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Come on, this guy just wants to have fun! Problem is, his idea of "fun" can be lethal.
* OddJobGods: Most likely, he's a Transcendent much like the Black Mage is, and Kirstun simply summoned the wrong one. Exactly what his purpose is remains unspecified.
* MookMaker: He can create Mini-Beans to attack the players, and during events, players can get them as Pets!
* PintSizedPowerhouse: So much that one of his Skills as a playable character is Pink Powerhouse.
* LethalJokeCharacter: He was originally intended as an April Fool's character, [[SureWhyNot but was so popular the designers made him permanent]], even having an event where he was a playable character.
* LightIsNotGood: A lot of his attacks are Light-based, including his own version of Genesis.
* SkewedPriorities: He doesn't take the fight seriously; as he watches the statues fight, he enjoys himself by snacking on Meat, sipping lemonade, playing an electric guitar, cooling himself with a motorized fan, and simply lying back and dozing.
* SoreLoser: When beaten, he cries like a baby, throws a tantrum, and flees.
* YouShallNotEvadeMe: One of his attacks can pull opponents towards him.

!Velderoth
[[quoteright:140:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mob_velderoth.png]]
Kaiser's and Angelic Buster's childhood friend. After being trashed by Magnus even with the backup of Kaiser and Angelic Buster (though there weren't near their full power yet), he leaves Pantheon to become stronger to defeat Magnus. Unfortunately, he loses sight of his goal and instead joins Magnus's forces, becoming what he hated most.

!!Tropes associated with Velderoth:
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Started the Helisium Force to liberate the home of the Nova from Magnus the Betrayer's grasp. He eventually betrays his friends and joins Magnus in his occupation of the city before finally fighting Kaiser in a duel to the death. [[spoiler: Though Kaiser ultimately lets him run off in shame, never to be seen again.]]
* CantCatchUp: Gets hit with this ''hard'' over the course of Kaiser and Angelic Buster's stories. Your accomplishments don't look like much when your friends have been bestowed with the powers of a legendary hero and a Dragon God respectively. His feelings of frustration are even displayed on his sprite, which gradually goes from smiling, to disappointed, to flat out depressed, to full on scowling after his FaceHeelTurn.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: A rare villainous example. He joins Magnus's forces after being beaten by him during Kaiser's and Angelic Buster's storylines. However, this fact is not apparent until much later.
* EverythingIsBetterWithSpinning: Many of his attacks involve spinning in a circle.
* FaceHeelTurn: One of the most tragic ones in the series.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: As mentioned earlier, his expression changes as Kaiser and Angelic Buster's stories continue. Hi evens sprite vanishes from its usual spot in Pantheon after he leaves.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: Sadly, he falls under the the purple and green portion of evil before switching to black at the end.
* GreenEyedMonster: He was envious of Kaiser's powers, spurring him to leave on his training trip in the first place. Unfortunately, this jealousy turned into hatred, making him join Magnus's forces.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Has this opinion upon seeing Kaiser and Angelic Buster in action. No matter how hard he tried, he was never able to catch up to the two who had their powers bestowed upon them, leading to his FaceHeelTurn out of jealousy and misunderstanding.
* LightIsNotGood: He seems to coat his sword strikes in white light in some of his attacks.
* LightningBruiser: Hits hard and fast. While many bosses have to stop moving to attack, he can hit you from half way across the room while dashing to close the distance so he can land more hits. He also has an above-average amount of health for a boss at this level.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Inverted, he ends up as the weakest of his friends due to not being bequeathed any additional power until his FaceHeelTurn.
* TechnicolorFire: He can also cover his sword in black flames.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Used to be an idealist who dreamed of freeing Helisium and becoming a hero, but his jealousy overcame him after repeated defeats at the hands of Magnus and his feelings of powerlessness due to Kyle inheriting the powers of Kaiser instead of him.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Of Magnus's Lieutenants. While the other two could be handled without much trouble, Velderoth is ''much'' harder at the level you're supposed to be fighting him. Don't be surprised if he hits for 9000-15000 damage per hit, enough to 2-Shot most Kaisers at that stage of the game. His health bar is nothing to sneeze at either. Hope you brought your potions, you're going to need them. Don't even get started about how hard [[ThatOneBoss ''his'' boss is.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Kaiser and Angelic Buster.
* WingedHumanoid: All the Nova are this.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Though this pigmentation is also shown on other Nova such as Tiron.

!!Gerald Damoor
Grandis world's own Transcendence of Life. He reigns over Heliseum with Magnus as his commander.

* LethalJokeCharacter: He was originally intended as an April Fool's character, but was so popular the designers made him permanent, even having an event where he was a playable character.
