History Characters / PaintTheTownRed

* GoodOldFisticuffs: Unlike every other enemy in the game, he holds a classic boxer guard while firing off quick jabs. Notably, he's the only enemy in the game capable of blocking your punches without a shield.

The boss of the Pirate Cove. The legendary pirate, who hangs out on the top floor of the cove's main building.

* {{Oculothorax}}

* DemBones

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver

* AirborneMook

* BodyguardingABadass: The EliteMooks who guard the Biker Boss, Katana Boss, and Blackbeard, who are much more powerful than they are.

* BloodyHilarious: In addition to just killing, he can commit even more perverted acts with the dead enemies' corpses.

* BloodyHilarious: In addition to just killing, he can commit even more perverted acts.

Your basic foes in the scenarios: angry dudes who just want to bash in some skulls, preferably yours. They come in biker, disco-goer, prisoner, bouncer, prison guard, pirate, and cowboy flavors.

[[folder:The Beast]]
A Giant Mage who's traded his magic staff in for a huge sword.

* BarrierWarrior: Like the run-of-the-mill Giant Mages, Minions and Interceptors in the arena will guard him from your attacks.
* {{BFS}}: He wields a huge gladius instead of magic.
* CloseRangeCombatant: Has no ranged capabilities whatsoever. If you have a gun you can attack him with impunity.
* FacialHorror: He's a Giant Mage with the head of a Floating Head.

[[folder:The Centurion]]
A shadow warrior styled after a Roman Centurion.

* CloseRangeCombatant: He has no ranged abilities and never moves faster than a SlowWalk, though he can lunge at you.
* FlamingSword: Fights you with a flaming gladius.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: He also wields a tower shield. It will break if it takes enough hits.

[[folder:The Crawler]]
A giant orange Crystal Crab with a lethally powerful five-beam laser blast.

* BeamSpam: It shoots five lasers spread out over a 90 degree angle.
* MightyGlacier: Very slow, yet it has a lot of health and a laser blast that will likely [[OneHitKill one-shot]] you.
* LongRangeFighter: Its laser blast is massively damaging and almost impossible to dodge out in the open, whereas its melee attack is highly telegraphed and easy to avoid.

[[folder:The Deceiver]]
A Teleporter with the ability to create copies of itself in combat.

* AntiEscapeMechanism: Get too far away from the Deceiver and it'll just teleport near you. Aside from the Pursuer, the Deceiver is the only enemy in ''Beneath'' that you cannot disengage from by running away.
* DoppelgangerSpin: It can create copies of itself to confuse you.[[note]]The copies always face the original.[[/note]]
* GlassCannon: Capable of doing ''serious'' damage to you with attacks that are both quick and hard to dodge, yet it's tied with The Pyro for the lowest health pool among the Shard Lords.

[[folder:The Golem]]
An even-more-massive Statue.

* KingMook: Even more so than the other Shard Lords. He's little more than a larger, more powerful Statue.
* MightyGlacier: He's as slow as molasses, yet he has the most health of the Shard Lords and he can hit pretty hard.

[[folder:The Pyro]]
A taller Minion with a flamethrower instead of a laser.

* AchillesHeel: His flamethrower is thoroughly outranged by basically any gun available to you.
* FakeUltimateMook: Sure, he may be a Shard Lord and he may have a flamethrower that can do substantial damage if you let it hit you, but once he goes into cooldown he goes down as easily as almost any regular enemy.
* PlayingWithFire: His staff lets him cast a continuous stream of fire.

!!!'''Elder Gods (SPOILERS AHEAD):'''

[[folder:The Necromancer]]
A Giant Mage that wields the power to resurrect the dead. He's the first Elder God you'll encounter in a new playthrough.

* AchillesHeel: He's rather weak to bladed weapons. In fact, if you manage to damage his midsection enough it's possible to instantly kill him by [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bisection]].
* LightningBruiser: He may not walk fast, but get in too close and he'll clobber you faster than you can react. This is to say nothing of his huge healthbar, either, nor of the Minions that will routinely protect him.
* MagicMissileStorm: At range, he'll shoot a torrent of homing magic missiles after you.
* {{Necromancer}}: No duh. He'll routinely resurrect the enemies you kill in his arena, including the Minions that shield him.
* ShieldedCoreBoss: At the start of the battle, he'll be shielded by the eight or so Minions around the arena.

[[folder:The Aberration]]
An island-sized abomination that fights you with its tentacles and a never-ending torrent of enemies.

* CombatTentacles: Its primary form of attack is through tentacles that sprout out of the ground. You have to destroy them in order to damage The Aberration.
* EldritchAbomination: The most properly alien of the Elder Gods.
* FlunkyBoss: It'll endlessly summon enemies throughout the boss battle.

[[folder:The Trickster]]
An Elder God who only reveals himself when you complete a long list of convoluted tasks. You face him in a virtual world of his creation called the Construct.

* TheBerserker: He masters this ability with the "Berserker" power, wherein he begins to smash the heads of enemies into ''pieces of meat'' in slow motion.

** You can see your character's arms, but nothing is seen about them in more detail unless you play with the "Top Down" perspective, at which they simply appear to look like any typical Brawler.

* FeaturelessProtagonist: You can see your character's arms, but nothing is seen about them in more detail unless you play with the "Top Down" perspective, at which they simply appear to look like any typical Brawler.

An unknown man/woman, mutuating and brutally killing bikers/[=DJs=]/convicts/policemen/bar guests/bandits/bystanders. What for? For fun.

* TheBerserker: He masters this ability: when accumulating points to the second level, he begins to smash the heads of enemies into ''pieces of meat'' in slow motion.

* FeaturelessProtagonist: The protagonist can only see clothes for a moment (when he hits), but nothing is known about him in more detail unless you play with the "Top Down" perspective, at which they simply appear to look like any typical Brawler.

* TheVoiceless: Downplayed. In comparison to the enemies, who make vocal sounds in most of their attacks, the player character only does the same if they take damage or die (with unique sounds to distinguish them from the enemies).
