* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Even before ''The Phantom Pain'' goes into more detail, his son had previously mentioned how three generations of Emmerichs have ended up contributing to nuclear weapons, leading to become TheAtoner for their past mistakes.

* ZeroApprovalGambit: [[spoiler:See BreakHisHeartToSaveHim.]]

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:See Amanda and Miller's entries.]]

* ReassignedToAntarctica: Implied to be the reason why Coldman was made the CIA Station Chief of Central America shortly after losing his job as CIA Director. See TheExile.

* BlackSheep: His father had a "MyGodWhatHaveIDone" realization after the construction of the atomic bombs in the Manhattan Project while Hal genuinely believed he wasn't making a Metal Gear to launch a nuke with a railgun. Huey may have been born in [[UsefulNotes/AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki August 6th, 1945]], but there's no sympathy given to him in ''The Phantom Pain''.

* FasterThanTheyLook: Though it doesn't has rocket thrusters like the Pupa, the Cocoon is rather fast and can catch up to Snake if he tries to run away.

* BellyFlopCrushing: If Snake tries to hide beneath it, the Cocoon will simply lower itself to crush him.

* Irony: After what's transpired by the events of ''The Phantom Pain'', his son is [[ProperlyParanoid practically right]] about how much disaster [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom their family has ended up causing]]. [[spoiler:Unlike Huey and more like his grandfather, [[AtLeastIAdmitIt he was able to acknowledge the consequences]].]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:Having become a delusional {{Jerkass}} suffering from a horrific case of NeverMyFault, one can't feel too sorry about the torture he suffers at the Diamond Dogs' hands. If anything, you'll wish Skull Face or ''Coldman'' kicked him down a bigger flight of stairs.]]

** And a major one in the ''Ground Zeroes'' after [[spoiler:being tricked into believing that Paz is dead, specially since he believes that [[ItsAllMyFault it is his fault]] for [[MoreThanMindControl taking Skull Face's offer]]. When Snake asks him Paz's location and when the tape of her torture was recorded, all Chico is capable of replying is that she is dead [[ThousandYardStare with an empty look inside his eyes]]. [[ColdBloodedTorture Considering what]] the [[RapebyProxy kid]] has been [[ForcedtoWatch through that past week]], it's not that surprising.]]

* TraumaCongaLine Beginning at the end of ''Peace Walker'' [[spoiler:and developed in ''Ground Zeroes''. After the revelation that Paz was actually a spy, Chico, who has feelings for her, felt immense guilt at not being able to stop her from hijacking ZEKE. After he learns of her survival and is informed that MSF has no intention of rescuing Paz, he goes and tries rescuing her himself. Unfortunately, he gets captured, [[ColdBloodedTorture tortured]], [[ForcedToWatch forced to watch Paz being tortured]] and then participate, broken into talking, tricked into believing Paz hates him, and then [[ItsAllMyFault being led to believe Paz is dead because of him]]. And that's before Snake even finds him. Then he dies in the helicopter crash offscreen at the end of ''Ground Zeroes'']].

* ChildSoldiers: Downplayed. Despite their "do good" appearance, they employed 2 [[spoiler:(well, technically 1 but they didn't know that)]] children as members of their ranks. With Big Boss personally recruiting Chico (who was only 12-13 years old at the time. They also employed a young girl named Paz, [[spoiler:granted she was actually in her mid 20s, but she appeared to be a pre-teen or early teenage girl and the MSF thought she was a child]]. Granted, neither of them are ever sent into combat or given training, and Chico is mainly there because [[PromotionToParent Amanda]] is there, and he has nowhere else to go.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:Besides his [[NeverMyFault inability to accept blame for anything]] and his BlatantLies that he demonstrates throughout ''The Phantom Pain'', Huey's designs for Sahelanthropus turned out to be a massive oversight when he designed it to work with the AI Pods from Peace Walker without even bothering to get Skull Face's input on the matter. The result was an impractical mis-management nightmare that barely managed to force a cockpit into the machine -- that only a child could hope to fit inside (which opened its own [[MurderByInaction can of worms]] between Huey and Strangelove). The AI Pods went neglected due to Cipher not wanting to further involve them with the project, Huey earned Skull Face's ire even before his ChronicBackstabbingDisorder came into effect, and Skull Face had to get a powerful psychic to basically brute-force the Metal Gear into operation. Crosses into DidntSeeThatComing when this single major flaw also gives [[ChildSoldier Eli]] the convenient opportunity to hijack the damn thing with said psychic's aid.]]

[[folder: In General]]

* AmazonBrigade: Extremely difficult but possible to make every single soldier in [=MSF=] female, excluding unique characters like Chico and Huey.
** Averted in canon, as most [=MSF=] members shown in ''[=MGSV=]'' are male.
* AnimalThemeNaming: Every single member of [=MSF=] comes with an animal-themed codename. This is a reference / carry-over from Big Boss's previous unit: [=FOX=].
* BadassArmy: Gameplay-wise, all [=MSF=] soldiers function similarly to Big Boss, with only variations in Psyche, HP, and weapon accuracy.
* BandOfBrothers: PlayedStraight, as far as was shone, every member of the [=MSF=] was ready and able to die to save each other. [[spoiler:Except Huey...]]
* BigDamnHeroes: When Big Boss is surrounded by the Peace Sentinel unit, and their leader threatening to activate the Peacewalker AI weapon, [=MSF=] sends everything its got to back Big Boss up. Infantry, choppers, boats, if [=MSF=] had it they were throwing it into the fight to save Big Boss.
* ChildSoldiers: Downplayed. Despite their "do good" appearance, they employed 2 [[spoiler:(well, technically 1 but they didn't know that)]] children as members of their ranks. With Big Boss personally recruiting Chico (who was only 12-13 years old at the time. They also employed a young girl named Paz, [[spoiler: granted she was actually in her mid 20s, but she appeared to be a pre-teen or early teenage girl and the MSF thought she was a child]].
** Granted, neither of them are ever sent into combat or given training, and Chico is mainly there because [[PromotionToParent Amanda]] is there, and he has nowhere else to go.
* DecapitatedArmy: After ''Ground Zeroes'', when Big Boss/Snake lands in a coma after [=XOF's=] attack, the entire organization of MSF essentially collapses along with him. A cassette tape found in ''The Phantom Pain'' reveals that Miller tried to recruit some [=MSF=] survivors to Diamond Dogs during the nine-year TimeSkip, but they refused to come back simply because [[MagneticHero Snake]] wasn't there.
* DrivenToMadness: Around 10 [=MSF=] soldiers were off-site during the MSF massacre. To honor the memory of their once great organization, they wandered the plains of Afghanistan and Central Africa for 9 solid years, never even taking off their uniforms, until [=MSF=]'s successor came to save them. Needless to say, they were basically zombies by the time you can encounter them. They get better, luckily.

* JumpedAtTheCall: As [=MSF=] and Big Boss's reputation grew during the events of Peacewalker, soldiers from all over the world sought to join the [=MSF=]. Upon the return of Big Boss to the world stage [[spoiler: well, his body double]], several former [=MSF=] members readily sought him (and his new "Diamond Dogs" unit) out to be able to fight alongside the legendary soldier once again.

* NGOSuperPower: Well, [[SubvertedTrope sort of]]. While they start out as a [[PrivateMilitaryContractors private military company]] and never claimed to be anything otherwise, by the end of Peace Walker, they have grown to rival the military power of a small nation, and even have their own nuclear weapon. But they essentially function as their own micronation, with territorial waters, culture, and even their own currency.

* ShoutOut: Their name ''Militaires Sans Frontières'' ([=''MSF''=]), meaning "Soldiers Without Borders", is a reference to the real world ''Médecins Sans Frontières'' ([=''MSF''=]), meaning "Doctors Without Borders".

[[folder: Paz Ortega Andrade/Pacifica Ocean]]

* AmbiguouslyBi: [[spoiler:One of the tapes reveals that she was positively ''captivated'' by Strangelove after the latter makes a clear attempt at seducing her (by [[IntimateLotionApplication: sensually applying suntan lotion all over her body]]). Paz remarks that she enjoyed it and was "spellbound."]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She initially appears to be a sweet, peace-loving girl, to the extent that Snake largely agrees to partake in the mission to Costa Rica for her sake. [[spoiler:Paz turns out to be an AxCrazy ManipulativeBitch. Don't take our word for it; just listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVeGrGWG2Po&feature=related her audio diary]] and you'll agree. Though, as stated above, she gets better through BecomingTheMask; not that it stops her from becoming the FinalBoss.]]
** [[spoiler:It might serve more as a horrific statement of just how far Zero had fallen, over the previous decade. Her diaries make clear that she was far more terrified of him than of death, to the point of [[FateWorseThanDeath saying exactly that]]. Considering what happens to her in ''Ground Zeroes'', her fear is well founded.]]

* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:To say Paz loses it is somewhat wrong - she lost it a ''long'' time ago.]]
** DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: [[spoiler:For a power you only know about from the other titles in the series.]]

* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler: Her final act in ''Ground Zeroes'' cements this.]]
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler: In ''Phantom Pain'', Paz seemingly survives the events of ''Ground Zeroes''. Finishing an optional side-quest reveals a MindScrew scene where Paz pulls out a bomb in her body and blows up. This unlocks a cassette tape which explains that Paz did die at the end of ''Ground Zeroes'' and the Paz Venom was seeing and interacting with, was just a guilt-induced hallucination the whole time. And just to make things more confusing, the person who says this is Paz herself, which suggests the ''tape'' is a hallucination too! It gets even more screwy when you remember that you're introduced to her in a scene where Miller and Ocelot are also involved meaning there's another layer to hallucation.]]

* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:She jumps out of the MSF helicopter in order to save Big Boss and the MSF survivors. Unfortunately, the blast radius of the explosion ends up derailing the helicopter anyway - but by being outside of the helicopter, she at least saved Miller, Morpho, the Medic, and Big Boss.]]

* ThatManIsDead: When [[spoiler: she appears in ''The Phantom Pain'', she's reverted back to her "Pacifica" mole personality,]] and [[IRejectYourReality refuses to accept any explanations or details that do not corroborate with it]]. Of course [[spoiler: it's not actually her.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Just about everything about her in the endgame is ''not'' what the player is led to believe. It makes it impossible to actually discuss her character and her history without spoiling too much on her true presence in ''Peace Walker''[='=]s story. [[spoiler:This is also true for her appearance in ''Ground Zeroes'' and ''The Phantom Pain''.]]

* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler: Eventually develops this towards Big Boss. She refuses to sell him out under extreme torture, and her last act before dying is to sacrifice herself for him and the survivors of MSF.]]
* WhyAmITicking: [[spoiler:She has a bomb stuck in her stomach in ''Ground Zeroes''. Snake and Chico are able to pull it out of her - but they don't know of the ''other'' bomb stuck in her body until it's way too late.]]
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Well, she didn't actually get around to [[spoiler:destroying anything]], although that's only because [[spoiler:Snake heavily damaged ZEKE and launched her into the water before she could get the chance to do so,]] but reading the diaries afterwards, and a few times before, you can't help but pity her for what she has to put up with. [[spoiler:''Ground Zeroes'' only serves to crank this up.]]

[[folder: Amanda Valenciano Libre]]

[[folder: Ricardo "Chico" Valenciano Libre]]

The twelve-year-old brother of Amanda and another member of the Sandinista National Liberation Front. An amateur cryptozoologist who possesses a surprising amount of in-depth knowledge on [[Characters/MonsterHunter a variety of monsters.]]

* BodyHorror: In ''Ground Zeroes'', he [[spoiler: has screws and bolts drilled into his heels to prevent him from running away, as well as a ''headphone jack'' in his chest]].

* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler: A Cassette Tape in ''The Phantom Pain'' confirms that Chico did not survive the helicopter crash in ''Ground Zeroes''.]]
* ChildSoldier: Chico is constantly pissed at everyone treating him as a kid. Unlike most of the more tragic examples of this, Big Boss makes sure Chico is a volunteer, and also doesn't actually send him to go out fighting; Chico is a scout.

** And a major one in the ''Ground Zeroes'' after [[spoiler: being tricked into believing that Paz is dead, specially since he believes that [[ItsAllMyFault it is his fault]] for [[MoreThanMindControl taking Skull Face's offer]]. When Snake asks him Paz's location and when the tape of her torture was recorded, all Chico is capable of replying is that she is dead [[ThousandYardStare with an empty look inside his eyes]]. [[ColdBloodedTorture Considering what]] the [[RapebyProxy kid]] has been [[ForcedtoWatch through that past week]], it's not that surprising.]]

* ReunionKiss: [[spoiler: Has one with Paz in ''Ground Zeroes''. He is quick to object, though, prompting her to apologize.]]

* TheStoolPigeon: Lacerated Larry type: He was captured by the Peace Sentinels early into the game, and ended up revealing the locations of his comrades due to his being tortured by them. It's also implied that this happens to any FSLN member who is captured, and that most of them don't even live to see the light of day after they end up breaking from it.
* TraumaCongaLine
** Beginning at the end of ''Peace Walker'' [[spoiler: and developed in ''Ground Zeroes''. After the revelation that Paz was actually a spy, Chico, who has feelings for her, felt immense guilt at not being able to stop her from hijacking ZEKE. After he learns of her survival and is informed that MSF has no intention of rescuing Paz, he goes and tries rescuing her himself. Unfortunately, he gets captured, [[ColdBloodedTorture tortured]], [[ForcedToWatch forced to watch Paz being tortured]] and then participate, broken into talking, tricked into believing Paz hates him, and then [[ItsAllMyFault being led to believe Paz is dead because of him]]. And that's before Snake even finds him.]]
** [[spoiler:And then he dies in the helicopter crash offscreen at the end of ''Ground Zeroes''.]]

[[folder: Dr. "Huey" Emmerich]]

* BelievingTheirOwnLies: In ''The Phantom Pain'', he seems to have deluded himself into believing that [[spoiler: he really didn't know that the "nuclear inspection" he arranged for [=MSF=] during ''Ground Zeroes'' was actually a Trojan Horse operation run by XOF]]. Taken to ludicrous extremes when [[spoiler: he continues to adamantly insist that Strangelove was DrivenToSuicide even in the face of solid evidence that he locked her in the Peace Walker A.I. pod to suffocate]]; it's to the point TruthSerums are barely effective on him. Ocelot even lampshades this, remarking that the hardest man to break is "the type that's fooling himself."
-->'''Ocelot''': Changing your lies to suit the listener, and getting by slipping through the cracks. Building layer upon layer of convenient stories until nothing means anything to you anymore. You're happy all the time, because you don't even notice you're doing it.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:Besides his [[NeverMyFault inability to accept blame for anything]] and his BlatantLies that he demonstrates throughout ''The Phantom Pain'', Huey's designs for Sahelanthropus turned out to be a massive oversight when he designed it to work with the AI Pods from Peace Walker without even bothering to get Skull Face's input on the matter. The result was an impractical mis-management nightmare that barely managed to force a cockpit into the machine - that only a child could hope to fit inside (which opened its own [[MurderByInaction can of worms]] between Huey and Strangelove). The AI Pods went neglected due to Cipher not wanting to further involve them with the project, Huey earned Skull Face's ire even before his ChronicBackstabbingDisorder came into effect, and Skull Face had to get a powerful psychic to basically brute-force the Metal Gear into operation. Crosses into DidntSeeThatComing when this single major flaw also gives [[ChildSoldier Eli]] the convenient opportunity to hijack the damn thing with said psychic's aid.]]

* ImplausibleDeniability: In ''The Phantom Pain''. [[spoiler: Even when faced with indisputable evidence that he sold MSF out to Skull Face and locked Strangelove up in the Mammal Pod to suffocate, Huey continues to adamantly insist that he thought the nuclear inspection was real and that Strangelove was DrivenToSuicide]].
* Irony: After what's transpired by the events of ''The Phantom Pain'', his son is [[ProperlyParanoid practically right]] about how much disaster [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom their family has ended up causing]]. [[spoiler: Unlike Huey and more like his grandfather, [[AtLeastIAdmitIt he was able to acknowledge the consequences]]]].

* KickTheDog: A rather literal example when [[spoiler: he insists D.D is not a dog, but ''[[InsaneTrollLogic a wolf!]]'' and that the Diamond Dogs are a bunch of wild dogs for loving him.]] Considering the fact D.D is one the kindest, friendliest (on base anyways...) characters in the game, this just makes [[spoiler: Huey look even more guilty to the Diamond Dogs.]]

** [[spoiler: After being set adrift, the boat he's in begins to leak from the weight and to save himself, he's forced to dump his precious robotic legs in the ocean.]]

* NoSocialSkills: He's a brilliant scientist but a social dunce. For instance, his response to [[spoiler: Snake arriving to retrieve him from XOF]] is to enthusiastically greet him as an old friend, not picking up on [[spoiler:Snake's]] obvious contempt and distrust.
* NotMeThisTime: Even though he eventually [[spoiler:turns out to be a complete waste of oxygen,]] Huey truly didn't know how Skull Face got Sahelanthropus working without a pilot or AI, comparing this feat to the Wright Brothers making it to the moon in terms of how impossible it was.

** [[spoiler:In ''[=MGS5=]'' we learn this is also the reason why he betrayed MSF: Cipher offered him a more profitable job with leniency attached. He accepted with no shame whatsoever, and then proceeded to delude himself into believing it was for the best.]]

* WithFriendsLikeThese: When he's recovered in ''The Phantom Pain'', the Diamond Dogs are quick to subject him to ColdBloodedTorture [[spoiler: because they know he sold their previous group out to XOF]], but keep him around for his scientific knowledge. He tries to keep this sort of relationship with Snake, [[WhatTheHellHero giving him shit]] for perceived transgressions before returning to his work without bringing up the torture much. [[spoiler: In reality, he's become a FalseFriend and was out for his own interests the entire time, only pretending to be friendly to continue his research and be less likely to end up on Venom Snake's bad side. [[LaserGuidedKarma The Diamond Dogs don't take kindly to this.]]]]

[[folder: Cécile Cosima Caminades]]

[[folder: Hot Coldman]]

* AxCrazy: His idea of world peace and nuclear deterrence is to [[spoiler: ''start a nuclear war by nuking Cuba'' because in his view no human being is actually capable of retaliation, and that their realization of their weakness would lead to a period of detente. While his optimism in man is bizarrely heartwarming, it's also heavily misguided, and he almost ends the entire human race.]]

** He could also be one of [[VideoGame/MegaManX Sigma]], given his status as a FallenHero, having caused a catastrophe involving missiles, similar physical appearance (both being BaldOfEvil, and both constantly shown flashing a SlasherSmile) - the two even share voice actors.

* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Its a long stretch to call this man even remotely "Good", but the entire reason for the Peace Walker project is because he genuinely believed that even the most strong-willed humans would be too moral to retaliate against a nuclear strike and would gracefully accept death instead if it meant not bringing about a nuclear apocalypse. He went so far as to have Peace Walker transmit false data to NORAD in order to force the military to decide whether or not to retaliate, firmly convinced that they would stop at the last second, thus proving the need for Peace Walker's existence. [[spoiler: Posthumously, Coldman is proven wrong when the military actually ''does'' try to order a retaliatory strike, and are only prevented from doing so when Peace Walker drowns itself in Lake Nicaragua to stop the data transmission]]. Venom Snake even lampshades it on a cassette tape in ''The Phantom Pain''.
-->'''Venom Snake''': "Humans are incapable of destroying themselves?" Turns out he never knew ''what'' humans are capable of.

* IronicName: Combined, his name makes no sense.
** Actually, it does when one remembers the Hot Cold War phases, which were the most tense phases of the Cold War, with both being in the 60s and the 80s. The ironic part comes from the fact that he's a main character in the Detente Era (the 70s), which was the most peaceful phase of the Cold War.

* VagueAge: Coldman is clearly an adult but his exact age is unknown.

[[folder: Dr. Strangelove]]

* CovertPervert: Unlike most examples, she really doesn't let it be known until well after the main game is over - and that's if you bother to listen to tape files. Paz has no idea she's getting fondled by her.

* DeathByIrony: It seems almost poetic that one who spent decades pining and obsessing over a long dead woman who'd never love her back, ends up [[spoiler: dying ''inside'' an A.I. pod meant to house said woman's "personality" and "memories". Her last recording takes it further, mentioning that since she'd sold out most of The Boss's A.I. data to Cipher already, she considers it fitting that the pod she dies in is nothing but an empty husk, having ultimately failed to follow her will.]]
* DepravedHomosexual: A rare female version that isn't a true example of the PsychoLesbian at least pre-HeelFaceTurn, but her interactions with Cecelia and Paz are shown to be rather predatory (which mind you Paz is [[AllGaysArePedophiles no older than sixteen]] [[spoiler: or so it seems, but even then it's unclear if she knows her real age]]), although the game itself plays these moments for [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale fanservice]].
* DespairEventHorizon: Her husband sends her rocketing over this [[spoiler: when she realizes he's not going to help her out the A.I. pod she's trapped in. Strangelove is reduced to begging for a quick death as she realizes the severity of her situation.]]
* DoesNotLikeMen: Dr. Strangelove doesn't even bother to hide it. It's not ''impossible'' for her to respect or be attracted to a man, but in general, they really aren't her thing. Then again, most ''women'' don't measure up to her criteria either; there's only been one woman she's really loved.
** Understandably subverted in the case of [[spoiler: her only child, Hal.]] Regardless of his gender, [[spoiler: she gives her life in trying to save him from her insane husband's attempt at making him a guinea pig in the ST-84 tests they were conducting.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: Subverted: She ''did'' consider committing suicide or at the very least embracing death after the Peace Walker project was completed, but she changed her mind after [[spoiler:The Boss/Peace Walker sacrificed herself again to avert nuclear war.]]
** And then in ''The Phantom Pain'', Huey claims [[spoiler:this is what happened to her when Diamond Dogs finds her corpse inside the Mammal Pod. Naturally, since Huey has already been established as a pathological liar by that point, nobody believes him.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She's disgusted with the fact that she has to torture Snake, even though she strongly dislikes him.
** Strangelove is a pretty callous individual who usually doesn't care about much other than her work, [[spoiler: but she's genuinely horrified when Huey suggests using their own son to pilot Sahelanthropus and attempts to defy him at the cost of her own life.]]

** SenselessSacrifice: While she manages to save [[spoiler:her son from being used to pilot Sahelanthropus]], years later, her plan to [[spoiler:keep Hal away from Huey for as long as possible]] ends up falling through, and [[spoiler:Hal's childhood is awful because of it.]] She also highlights [[spoiler:during her final speech]] that had she been quicker to respond or unafraid of possible injury, she could have [[spoiler:made it out of the pod alive,]] making these events possibly preventable.

** BusCrash: [[spoiler: In an effort to save her son, Huey indirectly kills her, sealing her inside a mammal pod]].

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her research into AI turns out to be key to [[spoiler: spurring Cipher into creating AI to run the global and economic systems. However, she would've been fairly innocent of this if she had lived to continue that research and fulfill it the way she planned; Huey's MurderByInaction caused the research to fall to Sigint instead, who tossed Strangelove's idea of empathetic AI aside to focus on analysis and self-growth as a purely logical machine, giving birth to the [[GreaterScopeVillain Patriots.]] Thus Huey essentially took the small flame she created and [[FromBadToWorse turned it into a continental wildfire.]]]]

* WickedCultured: Is ''very'' well read and enjoys movies - she often uses movies and literature to explain her inspirations to science, her methodology, and her philosophies toward life. She [[spoiler:[[HeelFaceTurn becomes considerably less "wicked" by the end of the game,]] though.]]

* YourHeadAsplode: While it isn't seen in action, the huge sphere depicted as Peace Walker's head is actually a hydrogen bomb, meaning that it can waltz up to enemy territory and blow itself up there. [[spoiler: Huey repurposes the idea for Sahelanthropus, using ''the Metal Gear itself'' as the bomb.]]

* ArtificialIntelligence: Like the rest of Huey's creations, ZEKE is designed to be control by an AI. [[spoiler: However, Paz secretly made modifications to it, allowing it to accommodate a human pilot.]]

[[folder: Ramón Gálvez Mena/Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zadornov]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Apparently, Zadornov did not plan on Coldman actually going through with launching the nukes, and he certainly did not plan or want Coldman to leak the fake missile data to NORAD.]]
** Given the above mention of [[spoiler:not planning on Coldman actually going through with the launch]], it also qualifies under GoneHorriblyRight.
* GutturalGrowler: Comes with the territory of his [[SmokingIsNotCool old smoking habit]] and [[Creator/SteveBlum English voice actor]]. Overlaps with EvilSoundsRaspy, although he's a relatively minor villain in the grand scheme of things.

[[/folder]]

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Huey" is actually nickname given to him by Strangelove, derived from the disabled service droid from the film ''Film/SilentRunning'' as a reference to his handicap and submissive personality.

* AmbiguouslyBi: [[spoiler:One of the tapes reveals that she was positively ''captivated'' by Strangelove after the latter makes a clear attempt at seducing her (by sensually applying suntan lotion all over her body). Paz remarks that she enjoyed it and was "spellbound."]]

* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:As revealed in her diaries.]]

%%FemmeFatale

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: [[spoiler:Or not.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: As horrible of a person as he becomes, he's ultimately in it for himself; the end of the world doesn't interest him, because that will mean no place to do his research. Huey may be a self-serving DirtyCoward, but [[EvilVersusOblivion he has his limits on the morally terrible things that he's willing to do]].

A non-canon BOptionalBoss added to the game as part of the ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' collaboration, Gear REX is a Brute Wyvern-class monster that mutated an acid-spewing turret on its back [[ExcusePlot due to nuclear tests or something]]. A monster battled on Isla Del Monsturo (along with Rathalos and Tigrex) by Big Boss. Attacks with hurled spikes and a tail-like limb that sprays a corrosive fluid.

A monster battled on Isla Del Monsturo (along with Rathalos and Tigrex) by Big Boss. Attacks with hurled spikes and a tail-like limb that sprays a corrosive fluid.

* BonusBoss: Alongside Rathalos and Tigrex as part of the ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' {{Crossover}} Extra Ops. This monster in particular is worthy of the title as well; the fourth fight can be potentially harder than ''Peace Walker Custom''.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Like many other monsters, it can roar, which depletes Snake's PSYCHE. Unlike other monsters, it can also shoot its scales at you, which then resonate when it roars, thus extending the roar's range, before exploding. This can harshly burn through Snake's PSYCHE extremely fast, unless you equip the [[ProductPlacement Sony WALKMAN]], which simulates ''Monster Hunter'''s "Earplug" effect or equip the cardboard box which can protect you from it once it occurs.
