History Characters / MinecraftDungeons

* Superboss: An optional boss that can only be accessed by beating the main game once, and poses a much bigger challenge than its campaign counterpart, with constant barrage of exploding mushroom projectiles and no Redstone Cores to deal extra damage to it.

* OmnicidalManiac: The Wretched Wraith and the Tempest Golem are said to be attempting to cause a world wide weather phenomena that would wipe out all, or least a large amount of, life.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Unlike other summonable mobs in this game, who are originally from the base game, Soul Wizards can only be found in this game.

* BaldOfEvil: Quite possibly the only Illager that avert this.

* MasterOfIllusion: Similar to their original variant, they can create multiple duplicates. However, the original one will not turn invisible and the duplicates can act independently and are able to attack players.

* AmbiguousSituation: It's relationship to the End. In Echoing Void DLC, it's implied to rule over the End dimension with Enderlings and Endersents trying to stop the player from reaching it, with 6 of the latter type taking Eyes of Enders off the End Portal to prevent entry. However, the fact that its true name shares the same naming conventions as the artificially made Eyes of Ender, and the fact that it's an sentient object itself implies that it's an artificial creation, which raises a lot of questions surrounding it, it's origins, and the End itself.

* EldritchAbomination: Sure, it's manifestation has the physical characteristics of a generic Enderman- The pitch-black body, the [[GlowingEyesOfDoom piercing]] [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]] eyes...but that's where the similarities end. Its torso is made of dark smoke, it has [[MultiArmedAndDangerous six arms]], and its mouth is constantly [[GhostlyGape gaping open]], [[ThroatLight showing a glowing void inside]]. And that's without covering its vast assortment of powers. It also has, as indicated by its true name, a large connection to [[EldritchLocation the End]].

** Archie even suspected that the Orb had manipulated even the events that lead him to it in the first place, through using the Undead and hostile mobs to herd him to its resting place.

* BlackEyesOfEvil: Unlike its main counterpart, the Mooshroom Monstrosity has black eyes with it's middle eye being completely black.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: There's no indication that there's another Redstone Monstrosity around, and the mission it's found on has no foreshadowing to its existance.

* Superboss: An optional boss that can only be accessed by beating the main game once, and poses a much bigger challenge than it's campaign counterpart, with constant barrage of exploding mushroom projectiles and no Redstone Cores to deal extra damage to it.

* BlackEyesOfEvil: Unlike its main counterpart, the Mooshroom Monstrosity has completely black eyes.

* StatusInflictionAttack: They can inflict freezing on players, which slows the player's movement and attacks, by throwing a snowball at them.

* DemonicPossession: Once you defeat the Arch-Illager, he loses control of the [[ArtifactOfDoom Orb of Dominance]], which causes the Heart of Ender to burst from the staff. Throughout the battle, the Arch-Illager is trapped in its torso, wailing and laughing.
* EldritchAbomination: Sure, it has the physical characteristics of a generic Enderman- The pitch-black body, the [[GlowingEyesOfDoom piercing]] [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]] eyes...but that's where the similarities end. Its torso is made of dark smoke, it has [[MultiArmedAndDangerous six arms]], and its mouth is constantly [[GhostlyGape gaping open]], [[ThroatLight showing a glowing void inside]]. And that's without covering its vast assortment of powers. It also has, as indicated by its true name, a large connection to [[EldritchLocation the End]].

[[caption-width-right:300:It's Orb form]]

* ManipulativeBastard: In the prequel novel, the Orb, at first, treated Archie with kindness and encouragement only to become apparent later on that it's using and corrupting Archie into becoming its servant. Near the end of the novel, not only did Archie realized that many of the novel events were orchestrated by it, but the Orb even outright tells Archie that he serves it, not the other way around.

* GravityScrew: One of its attacks pulls the players towards it regardless of range, following up with and explosion that deals massive damage to anything caught in it.

* UndergroundMonkey: They're the snow version of creepers. They look the exact same except they have snow particles hovering around them.

* EnemySummoner: It can summon zombies and vindicators during its boss fight, which it can heal off of if they are defeated. It can also summon purple, ranged slimes on occasion.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/archillager_9.png]]

* BodyHorror: Its final form have cracks across its body, with its Enderman skin looking like is flaking off, revealing its glowing insides, not to mention the [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyes]] lining its upper body.

* MacGuffinGuardian: Each one that appear in mainland possesses one of the eyes of ender. These variants also comes with different enchantments.

* AdaptationalBadass: They can sting more than once without killed off immediately unlike in the original game, where they quickly die after one sting.

A mid-boss that can appear on occasion. While they can randomly appear in all mainland levels on the highest difficulty, they are guaranteed to appear on the secret paths of certain levels added in the Echoing Void DLC.
One appears as the boss of Creeper Woods in the arcade version.

* EldritchAbomination: Sure, it has the physical characteristics of a generic Enderman- The pitch-black body, the [[GlowingEyesOfDoom piercing]] [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]] eyes...but that's where the similarities end. Its torso is made of dark smoke, it has [[MultiArmedAndDangerous six arms]], and its mouth is constantly [[GhostlyGape gaping open]], [[ThroatLight showing a glowing void inside]]. And that's without covering its vast assortment of powers. Overall, it gives the [[{{VideoGame/Minecraft}} Wither]], or even the [[VideoGame/MinecraftStoryMode Wither Storm]], a run for their money in this department.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: PlayedWith. The Heart of Ender is barely foreshadowed. Maybe some hints could be taken at the End's influence from decorations of the Ender Dragon lining Highblock Halls, or Endermen appearing as mini-bosses, but nowhere is it hinted at that an EldritchAbomination resides within the Orb of Dominance. Somewhat averted for readers of the prequel novel, as the Orb's sentience is made ''much'' more apparent there.

* ManipulativeBastard: In the prequel novel, the Orb, at first, treated Archie with kindness and encouragement only to become apparent later on that it's using and corrupting Archie into becoming its servant. Near the end of the novel, the Orb outright tells Archie that he serves it, not the other way around.
** It's implied that the Orb had even manipulated the events that lead Archie to it in the first place, through using the Undead and hostile mobs to herd him.

* NothingIsScarier: At the end of it all, nothing is explained on what it actually is, how it came to be, why it wants to rule the world, and why it was in the cave, where Archie had found it, all this time.

* EnemySummoner: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], it only can activate 2 out of 8 Squall Golems from the back of the arena after recovering from being stunned. After all 8 Squall Golems are destroyed, no more will appear for the rest of the fight.

* MechanicalAbomination: Much more than Redstone Golems, it's an Arch-Illager's war machine.

* WeakenedByTheLight: Averted. Even when encountered in missions take take place outside during the day, spiders will still try to attack you.

* ActionBomb: Like normal creepers, they explode when a player gets near. However, they also inflict a [[StatusInflictionAttack freezing effect]] after exploding.
* UndergroundMonkey: They're the snow version of creepers. They look the exact same except with snow particle around them.

%%* BlobMonster: Yes.

* LightningBruiser: They can take more hits then any mobs, and can leap towards players and deal heavy damage.

* UndeadCounterpart: In addition to the basic kind, an undead zombie variant can spawn as an enemy.

* {{Fireballs}}: Like in the main game, their main attack is to shoot fireballs at the player, though as mentioned they can no longer be deflected by hand.

* AquaticMook: They're only encountered in the Hidden Depths levels, which are all underwater. They also appear on floors that are underwater in The Tower.

* HitAndRunTactics: Well, hit and {{teleport|Spam}}, but its still the same idea. The Enderman will teleport near the player and run up to them to hit them once or twice before teleporting away and repeating the strategy.

* KillItWithWater: Also [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. They‘re not inconvenienced in the slightest by water.

* StaticScrew: Whenever the player is in close proximity to an one, their screen will have a static effect overlaid on it. This will stop if the player either gets far enough from the enderman or if the enderman is aggravated.

* MightyGlacier: They're quite slow compare to other mid-bosses, but they hit a lot harder to compensate.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After the heroes defeat it, it tries to flee, but was held back by Archie, holding onto the staff its on, trying to keep hold of its power.

* EnemySummoner: Summon Mooshrooms to aid it in combat rather than Redstone Cubes like its regular counterpart.

* PlantMooks: They're cactus looking mobs.

* UndergroundMonkey: To the Whisperers, who themselves are already one of these to the Geomancer.

The FinalBoss of the base game and also the main antagonist. The true form of the Orb of Dominance. A [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever giant]], [[KingMook Enderman-like]]...[[EldritchAbomination thing]].

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: The Heart of Ender is barely foreshadowed. Maybe some hints could be taken at the End's influence from decorations of the Ender Dragon lining Highblock Halls, or Endermen appearing as mini-bosses, but nowhere is it hinted at that an EldritchAbomination resides within the Orb of Dominance. Somewhat averted for readers of the prequel novel, as the Orb's sentience is made ''much'' more apparent there.

* EnemySummoner: Most of its attacks summon swarms of endermites. It can also summon endermites enchanted with Sharpness on occasion.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: It's called the Vengeful Heart of Ender, after all.

* {{Necromancer}}: Just like the Necromancer, they can summon the undead to fight the player, though it summons drowned in this case. They are called the Drowned ''Necromancer'' after all.

* ItIsDehumanizing: The Nameless One has been refer to as 'it' in both the Guide and the prequel novel.

* AGodAmI: In the prequel novel, Archie describe himself having the view of a bird when looking at a landscape via the orb, only for the orb to correct him as having a view of a ''god''.

** The Tempest Golem and Ancient Guardians were just protectors of their home (Gale Sanctum and Abyssal Monument, respectively), before the shard of the Orb causes them to start branching out. The pre-Orb wraith could also be this.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Considering what some of the bosses' are trying to do, it's clear that the Orb was not... happy being fragmented.

* SuperEmpowering: Their main ability. This makes gives the player all the more reason to prioritize them before other enemies.

* UndergroundMonkey: They're the Howling Peaks version of Vindicators, except they use [[PowerfulPick mountaineer pick]] to attack players.

* HarmlessEnemy: Small slimes avert this as they are able to deal damage in this game. They can also turn into a big threat for the player provided with the right enchantments applied.

* RandomDrop: They will drop a Gilded gear when defeated. The type of gear drop, depends on the Ancient.
