* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Fighters and mages get to deal with Khaveen as they prepare to confront Ad Avis, but thieves never do, as they sneak through an area that is not near where he is stationed. It's unclear, therefore, what happens to Khaveen in their route. (Thieves CAN kill Khaveen in his home, but his cries of agony will alert the guards and cause a game over.)

* ForcedTransformation: One of his favorite ways of dealing with his enemies, [[Spoiler:though he seems to lose his taste for it after his death and rebirth as a vampire.]] The spell he uses to do this is stated to transform a person into a creature that closely matches their personality.

* ForcedTransformation: Ends up on the receiving end of this on the Mage's route to the ending. Ad Avis' favorite spell is stated to transform its victims into an animal that closely matches their personality; Thanks to being hit with this spell (via the Hero's reversal spell), he becomes a [[SnakesAreSinister snake]].

Added DiffLines:

* DefiantToTheEnd: If a Fighter disarms him during their battle, he flatly refuses to surrender if asked; The Hero can either finish him off then and there, or tell him to pick up his sword and finish the fight (the latter being the honorable option).

Added DiffLines:

* SapientHouse: Her chicken-legged hut. The first game left room for ambiguity, but the fourth game shows the house does have a mind of its own as it holds a grudge towards the Hero for the events of the first game and has to be baited with corn.

* TokenGoodTeammate: As mentioned above, he is the only member of WIT (apart from Erana) who believes in putting magic to good practical use in the world instead of committing to esoteric studies. Downplayed in that the others are not evil as such, just detached ivory tower intellectuals.

* ObsoleteOccupation: PlayedForLaughs. Ivan is a professional elephant herder... but the game is set in Mordavia, a wooded mountain valley smack in the middle of the {{Uberwald}}. According to Ivan, at least, elephants were once endemic to Mordavia, but have migrated away during his lifetime due to supernatural calamities plaguing the valley.

* RhymingWizardry: In the [[VideoGame/QuestForGloryI first]] and [[VideoGame/QuestForGloryIV fourth]] games, Literature/BabaYaga does her incarnations in rhyme. The fact that the fourth game has spoken words really sells it.

* RaceLift: Has darker Subverted. Her skin in color is the same between Quest for Glory II, but II and V, it's just the color palette has changed. She shares the same color of skin as the Hero (that being the "light red" on the typical EGA color palette) that serves as the stand-in for lighter skinned characters, and naturally it changed in V is seemingly white.to match the new palette, giving her a paler look.

* MasterOfIllusion: She can take on the appearance of either an attractive human or a fearsome vampire. Her appearance while she is sleeping looks like something in between, suggesting that she uses illusion magic in both cases.
