* NoSell: Being a skeletal undead makes him immune to the [[ShockAndAwe Electric]], [[PoisonousPerson Poison]], and [[AnIcePerson Ice]] elements and greatly resists slashing and thrusting weapons because he has no organs to damage. He cannot be critted, life-drained, mentally attacked, hit with instant-kill effects or most status effects. With carefully selected gear, he can also neutralize one of his crippling weaknesses to fire, light, holy, or bash attacks, generally preferring to go with fire. Finally, as a high-level player character, he is outright immune to physical attacks from those below an effective level of 60 unless he deactivates this skill. Given that he's only seen a single entity in the New World above this level, he's basically untouchable by anything this world can throw at him.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the Holy Kingdom arc (Volumes 12 & 13), where the story focuses on the viewpoint of [[HeroOfAnotherStory Neia Baraja]] while Ainz serves as a side character whose true goal is to take advantage of the current war between the Roble Holy Kingdom and demihuman tribes with Demiurge, and [[EngineeredHeroics subtly propping himself up as a hero to them in their time of need]].

* SwapTeleportation: When they first meet, Ainz gives Gazef an item that allows him to swap places with Gazef, suspecting that Gazef's battle with the Sunlight Scripture might require his intervention. It also swaps all of Gazef's troops in the area.



* TomTheDarkLord: The most horrifiying EldritchAbomination in the New World used to be a salaryman gamer called Satoru Suzuki a.k.a Momonga (as in the animal known as a flying squirrel). He however, goes by his guild name in the New World, which most certainly sounds way more intimidating than his real name.

** Once he founds the Sorcerer Kingdom, he has undead tending crops, Death Knights serving as a police force, and Soul Eaters pulling wagons. The first one isn't unique to Ainz -- Fluder hit upon that use of the undead, too -- but he's a hell of a lot better at it.

** If you harm or kill anyone he has taken a liking to, do not expect to survive long if he knows it's you. He will get to you, he will show you no mercy, and you've essentially signed your death warrant. The surviving Eight Fingers are the only lucky ones to have "just" lost their sanity.
** His other button is when someone makes an affront against the Supreme Beings, a.k.a. his former guildmates when he was still a human. When a Worker told him he came under the name of "a Supreme Being" rather than referring to Momonga or Satoru, he gets so mad that he ''almost explodes'' with anger. It doesn't matter if said worker doesn't know his real name, he's dead quickly afterwards.

sanity, and they didn't even know better.
** As a corollary, individuals who would betray others to save their own skin. [[spoiler:Zanac]] genuinely impressed Ainz despite being unable to talk him down, so when the [[spoiler:nobles]] offered his head to save their own skins, Ainz "rewarded" them with torture and eventual death while doubling down on his plans, when it seemed as if Ainz might have actually softened his approach on reflection had they not made that mistake.
** His other button is when someone makes an affront against the Supreme Beings, a.k.a. his former guildmates when he was still a human. When a Worker told him he came under attempted to bluff his way out of a confrontation by invoking his comrades without actually knowing any better, Ainz humored the attempt until the Worker made the mistake of getting his name wrong (using "Ainz" instead of "a Supreme Being" rather than referring "Momonga"). Even though Ainz knew the man was trying to Momonga or Satoru, play him, he gets so mad that he ''almost explodes'' with anger. It doesn't matter if said worker doesn't know his real name, he's dead quickly afterwards.Suffice it to say, the mercy of death was not on the table for him after that.



* {{BFS}}: Deconstructed. As Momon, his two large broadswords make him slower and easier to read, which is lampshaded by Clementine and other adventurers. Justified as he has no real experience with swords, which tends to make him sloppy.

* FirstTimeFeeling: He allows Nigun's Dominion Authority to strike him with a powerful blast of holy light, only to then laugh at the sensation of mild pain in an undead body from an attack that barely harmed him.



** A variant. Before coming into the new world, Ainz (formerly Momonga) was merely Satoru Suzuki's in-game avatar, and as such, all the spells he has were learned through level-grinding and the related skill progression requisites. Once he becomes his in-game avatar in the new world, he also gains the knowledge of how to cast these spells. However, once somebody begs Ainz to provide tutelage, Ainz realizes that while he knows ''how'' to use magic, he cannot teach them to somebody else because he doesn't understand the fundamentals of magic from an academic standpoint.

However, once somebody begs Ainz to provide tutelage, Ainz realizes use all his spells and abilities, and has an innate sense of his health and mana pool even if he can't perceive it as a raw number. It's also subverted in that while Ainz can ''cast'' the spells he knows, he doesn't actually know how they work, so he can't teach others what he knows ''how'' to use magic, he cannot teach them to somebody else when asked for tutelage because he doesn't understand the fundamentals of magic from an academic standpoint.

* AntiHero: At best, he's a NominalHero. When he's not being an Overlord with AntiVillain goals, he will go out of his way to help people for altruistic reasons or helping people against enemies being a roadblock in his goals. Even when he's using his Adventurer disguise, facing Clementine was very personal, and goes out of his way to rescue Nfirea on his own accord.

The fact that he is way more powerful than anything else in the world only makes it worse.

By combining this with the spell Cry of the Banshee and the metamagic Widen Magic, Ainz can cause everything within a 100 meters of himself to die, including the land and the very air itself. This results in ground becoming a desert and everything else to be completely annihilated.
