* BonusBoss: Defeating all four Joustus champions allows you to play her again a second time in her alien form, and then when King Knight demands that her people bow to him in exchange for saving her world, she transforms into a larger boss form to fight him.



* {{Hypocrite}}: She wishes to save her own homeworld from destruction, but shows no concern for the Valley, even though by the time you're able to [[BonusBoss fight Cardia]], the Enchantress has revealed and established herself as a threat to the Valley, if not the world as a whole.

* ShoutOut: To Culex from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG''. Like Culex, Cardia is a ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''-esque BonusBoss that comes straight out of nowhere to fight the protagonist. Both also battle using colored crystals that possess different abilities, and both are fought in an AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield. Also, both have primarily [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]] color schemes.

* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:With his golden armor destroyed, Pridemoor constantly flees to hide when he and King Knight meet a new boss to defeat, leaving the Knight alone to defeat it. By the time they reach the Enchantress, she calls him and King Knight's allies out of their cowardly attitude, and becomes another reason for King Knight to decide to betray in favor of the evil sorceress.]]

* BerateAndSwitch: In ''King of Cards'', asking her about Joustus will cause her to ask King Knight if he thinks she's following everyone that's playing a frivoulus card game. She then admits cheerily that she does and reads off King Knight's Joustus stats.

Added DiffLines:

* AFatherToHisMen: The king cares for his acolytes, willing to hear them out if they intercede on someone's behalf, and angered when their work is upset.


Added DiffLines:

** He's also not fond of anyone spoiling the labors of his acolytes, or being blatently disrespected, as King Knight finds out.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: A jolly guardian of the troupples. The king even has enough patience to overlook any occasional faux pas on Shovel Knight's part, and is even willing to assist Plague Knight for a fee. When King Knight pushes his buttons too far though, the Troupple King is willing to throw down.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Averted. His acolytes helpfully inform you that it "Rhymes with 'mouthful'". The king himself explains the proper pronunciation of ichor as eye-core.

* BrokenPedestal: Though we never get to hear his reaction, he was clearly fully on board for King Knight and considered him a friend. By the time of the other campaigns, he seems to have abandoned Cooper and the valley entirely.

Though, given King Knight's mom isn't seen either, he could just have been created late production and he is hanging out in the background.


Added DiffLines:

* ThinkingTic: He will be seated and staring at the sky if King Knight catches him silenting musing to himself. After sharing his thoughts, he stands back up and takes a more active role in steering the ship.

** Though to be fair to the King, this is actually an extraordinarily generous offer. Had the King married King Knight's mother, he could have adopted King Knight and made him heir apparent on top of King Knight being king of his own realm where ever that would've ended up. King Knight is just too vain and undiplomatic to play the game of Thrones to his advantage. This makes King Knight's betrayal sting even harder had this been King Proudmoor's plan since all he wanted was a family.



* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: When he the crew was holding onto a rope for safety and a conflicted King Knight was deciding about helping them or accepting the Enchantress offer, Pridemoor triggers King Knight's berserk button by asking what his mother would think of him. This leads to an infuriated King Knight betraying everyone, costing Pridemoor his kingdom and an early chance to defeat the Enchantress for good]]

Not the HorribleJudgeOfCharacter matter below, but regarding King Knight's ''mother'', and continuing to make passes at her no matter how many times King Knight makes it clear he wants him to ''back off.'' [[spoiler:This matter ends up being the final straw that breaks the camel's back later. King Knight was visibly conflicted about accepting the Enchantress' offer. Then Pridemoor opened his mouth asking what his mother would think -- the last person King Knight would ever [[NiceJobBreakingItHero want to hear anything about his mother from]]. Oops.]]
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He truly means well trying to be a ParentalSubstitute to King Knight, but he doesn't seem to realize how much his flirting with King Knight's mother annoys and even angers him. [[spoiler:Then when King Pridemoor attempts to convince a conflicted King Knight by asking him what his mother would think, it's the final push for King Knight to take the Enchantress' offer.]]
