* EmotionlessReptile: Typhon, an anthropomorphic snake gorgon dragon, is a stoic, emotionless god who is shown to be rather disinterested and disconnected from the genocide he previously committed by trying to turn the world to marble.

Added DiffLines:

* LevelScaling: Every Elemental Dragon defeated will increase the maximum health of all the others. Depending on the order this is done in and when the player decides to start fighting them, this can result in unusual interactions such as Mandrake having the most health, or the resident {{Superboss}} having very little.


Added DiffLines:

* OptionalBoss: The Elemental Dragons are all found off the beaten path as parts of secrets; it's entirely possible to complete the game without encountering a single one, and none of them are required for anything outside of weapon upgrades and OneHundredPercentCompletion.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Superboss}}: Typhon is significantly more challenging than the other Elemental Dragons, with greater plot significance, a more tightly orchestrated fight, and access to a fast-acting OneHitKill attack with NoSavingThrow. Assuming that the player face the Elemental Dragons in order, he will also have far and away the most health. Defeating him is required to finish upgrading the Light Tome and Helios Communicatior, both of which with their own [[PurposelyOverpowered exceptional traits]] beyond the capabilities of other weapons.

* SkillScoresAndPerks: Has unique access to the Diplomacy stat, which determines the discount he gets at shops as a percentage.[[note]]So a 20 in Diplomacy is a 20% discount.[[/note]] This stat can only be leveled up by tracking down Books of Diplomacy in most towns, and maxing it out quickly is a key part of Baradus' later strategies.



* SkillScoresAndPerks: His ability to craft alternative ammo is measured by a stat on his Ammo Tool. Each individual piece of ammo crafted raises this score by one; unfortunately, Gremile needs to get the corresponding gun to fire said ammo, and most of the ammo can be purchased anyway. This is of particular issue [[EarlyGameHell early on]], as the only ammo he can craft is for a gun that he won't have access to for several dungeons outside of SequenceBreaking.



Zandro is a notorious undead mage from time immemorial, seeking to prove himself as the most powerful mage who ever lived; or un-lived, as it were. Equipped with a unique set of Sorcery Orbs, he can cast dangerous spells that can wipe rooms clean of enemies. In addition, he can craft potions out of the items dropped from enemies - including some that only he can brew.

Added DiffLines:

* PotionBrewingMechanic: Zandro is the only character than can craft potions with the otherwise weak component items dropped by enemies such as Nitro Gel and Mandragoras; some of these can only be made by him. Brewing more potions will gradually increase the variety of potions he can make, culminating in being able to brew the otherwise expensive Summon Potions.


Added DiffLines:

* SkillScoresAndPerks: His ability to brew potions is measured by a stat on his Potion Brewer item; brewing any potion increases it by one, and reaching certain thresholds unlocks more potions to brew starting from solely Health potions. Unlike Gremile, Zandro is immediately able to use the items he makes instead of needing to find the proper firearm first, and some of the potions Zandro can craft cannot be attained in any other way.

An Axe To Grind is no longer a trope

* BaddieFlattery: As you get further in the game, Steiner begins to compliment the Heroes of Light without a single shred of venom or irony.



* EvilGenius: Goes hand in hand with his MadScientist traits described below. Steiner demonstrates being one of the smartest characters in the setting, describing himself as such and ''demonstrating this'' with his numerous successful experiments with bringing life to inanimate objects [[spoiler:and later turning himself into a god.]]



* EvilWearsBlack: His robe is black and red [[spoiler:and his ''actual'' self wears a plain black robe.]]



* FauxAffablyEvil: Steiner speaks eloquently and respects the power of the Heroes of Light as they grow over the course of the adventure, even as he's relentlessly trying to kill them. [[spoiler:Even as he's being defeated, he doesn't drop his respectful facade.]]

* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler:Steiner used to be a plain, unassuming earth mage prior to being mistakenly turned into the genocial maniac he is by the time of the story by Typhon.]]



* InsaneTrollLogic: His rants about the various idols he trns into bosses makes him come across as this, as he goes from criticizing the people of the ancient civilizations for not apparently not worshipping their god hard enough, to worshipping their god too hard.

Added DiffLines:

* EvilIsNotAToy: You have the option to release Typhon after defeating him like every other dragon, though he's the only one who is outright evil [[spoiler:and previously tried to destroy the Land of Magic just as Steiner currently is. Of course, after you free him and defeat Steiner, Typhon gladly takes the opportunity to try and destroy the world all over again.]]


Added DiffLines:

* KillingIntent: [[spoiler:The Light Alchemist makes a comment about how he feels a familiar evil coming from Typhon's pact when you give it to him. Steiner also notes that he feels an evil presence with you if you release Typhon prior to the final showdown, calling you on your recklessness.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler:Typhon completely dismisses Steiner's desperate cries for vengeance after Typhon kills all of Steiner's brethren, with the quote at the top of this folder.]]

* NiceGuy: He has a very friendly and sweet personality, always speaking in an affectionate manner.



* PersonalityPowers: He has domain over the elements of water and ice, and he has a calm, yet refined and dignified personality, like a calmly flowing river or a cold sheet of ice.
* RevisitingTheRoots: He's the closest out of all the Elemental Dragons to the traditional depiction of a benevolent dragon, wise, dignified, and highly knowledgeable on many subjects.



* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He's notable for wearing a pair of glasses, and is very well-spoken and intelligent, not to mention an avid reader of literature.



* NinjaPirateRobotZombie: He's a godly dragon named after the Buddhist god of the underworld who is a mixture between a Sumo wrestler and a Kabuki actor with control over wind and lightning.
