->''[[http://images.wikia.com/inglipnomicon/images/b/bc/It_has_begun.png Inglip Summoned]]''
-->--'''The first words of the Dark Lord'''

On January 8, 2011, the Internet became a channel to dark eldritch forces with designs for our unsuspecting material world.

[[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110112003432/inglipnomicon/images/a/a9/Tutlent.png Bingo.]]

Lord Inglip is an internet meme started on [[http://www.reddit.com/r/Inglip/ Reddit]], interpreting [=reCAPTCHA=] codes as cryptic messages and commands from an EldritchAbomination. Contrary to the usual feel of such a meme, however, Lord Inglip seems to have more...[[http://www.geekosystem.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/radjump1.jpg understandable]] [[http://i.imgur.com/6ktUb.jpg interests]] (for varying definitions of the term).

The saga is chronicled [[http://www.geekosystem.com/inglip/ here]] and in a [[http://inglipnomicon.wikia.com/wiki/Inglipnomicon_Wiki wiki]]. People interested in receiving the Dark Lord's words personally can consult [[http://churchofinglip.com/ its church]].
----
!!This meme provides examples of:
* AffablyEvil: Despite its ruthless streak (dissenters are ordered [[DisproportionateRetribution decapitated, pureed, barbecued...]]), Lord Inglip seems pretty [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110112003432/inglipnomicon/images/a/a9/Tutlent.png generous]] [[http://imgur.com/PyuQW to]] its [[http://i.imgur.com/qgYzp.png faithful]]. It even [[http://i.imgur.com/OQW5c.jpg mourns those who fall in its name]].
* AnythingThatMoves
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Hinted at [[http://www.reddit.com/tb/f0clx this comic strip]] that it may have been a mortal in its former life, or descended to the mortal plane for a time in some form. Eventually [[http://i.imgur.com/fZh7H.jpg confirmed]].
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Despite its fearsome army, Inglip needs no one to [[http://i.imgur.com/rty9U.jpg defend itself]].
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VI_of_England Henry VI]], [[http://i.imgur.com/fZh7H.jpg apparently]]
* TheBerserker: [[http://i.imgur.com/IRxlU.jpg Shaskel's]] followers are like this, possibly.
* BizarreAlienBiology: Among other things, it feels [[http://i.imgur.com/jT6BR.png mammals as emotions]].
* BlackSpeech: Inglip's native tongue, [[http://i.imgur.com/bPz7h.png Plasper]].
* BlueAndOrangeMorality / BunnyEarsLawyer: Lord Inglip commands considerable respect and admiration, but its commands and [[http://i.imgur.com/Sj14a.jpg requests]] can sometimes be [[http://i.imgur.com/NdxNA.png somewhat]] [[http://i.imgur.com/kZMzf.png odd]].
* BodyHorror: The Mantank is by far the most gory creature the dark lord has ever created. [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Part robotic tank and part humanoid cyborg]], it stands several stories high and is made from [[HumanSacrifice sacrificed enemies]], including their souls.
* BrownNote: The word ''slasessa'' is Chydrego's [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110128124710/inglipnomicon/images/8/83/Holy_war.jpg weapon of choice.]] It is more potent if uttered by [[VideoGame/AgeOfEmpires experienced priests.]]
* CareBearStare: [[http://i.imgur.com/u6N5f.jpg The 'E' note]], as impossible as it sounds.
* CloudCuckooLander: Its [[http://i.imgur.com/ShWiu.png commands]] can tend towards the [[http://i.imgur.com/VDgoX.png strange]] and even [[http://i.imgur.com/Rzdhp.jpg whimsical]].
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: If Inglip breaks from the usual cavalcade of straightforward bodily harm to traitors, it's usually [[http://i51.tinypic.com/10or3mc.png something]]...[[http://i.imgur.com/5vXvi.png very]] [[http://i.imgur.com/0hOX2.jpg very]] (warning: kinda {{NSFW}}) [[http://i.imgur.com/nO9fc.jpg creative]].
* {{Cult}}: The Dectrip Faith, the adherents of which are called gropagas.
* CuteBruiser: The [[http://www.prguitarman.com/comics/343_Nyanja.gif Nyanja.]]
* EldritchAbomination: Probably one itself, but it also commands a number of them, including [[http://www.reddit.com/tb/f0o6z the Lervidan]].
** Special mention also has to go to [[http://i.imgur.com/IbQDj.jpg DL'GOKN]], who seems to drive its followers into suicidal frenzies that turn them into [[{{ActionBomb}} reality-warping bombs]].
* [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] [[VillainsOutShopping Out Shopping]]: A major source of its appeal, which takes the edge off of its EvilOverlord tendencies. Inglip often shares [[http://i.imgur.com/FoYSo.png details]] of its [[http://i.imgur.com/C4lZh.png day-to-day life]], and seems [[http://i.imgur.com/IQDwQ.png rather]] [[http://i.imgur.com/79sMr.jpg pleasant]] when it's not giving commands or dealing with dissent.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: [[http://i.imgur.com/ZKXya.jpg Call it Inglinf at your own risk.]]
* EmotionEater: ...[[http://i.imgur.com/Sj14a.jpg Maybe]]?
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Unlike most cosmic horrors, this is something Lord Inglip is trying to ''[[http://i.imgur.com/j7AHY.png prevent]]''. According to its word, one of the signs of the end-times would be, interestingly enough, [[SarahPalin Palin]] [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110111215744/inglipnomicon/images/9/99/Palin.png University]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Inglip's wife, [[http://www.reddit.com/tb/f0dwg Queen Ellinus]] and [[http://www.reddit.com/r/Inglip/comments/ezr5l/the_inglipnomicon/ the rest of its family]].
* EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped: [[http://i.imgur.com/u6N5f.jpg Sometimes]].
* EvilOverlord: Inglip is also the ruler of its own country called [[http://www.reddit.com/tb/ezlck Trathira]] which tend to have a habit of [[http://www.reddit.com/tb/ezphh conquering places]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Once considered an empty threat, Chydrego's promise of the [[http://i.imgur.com/nLhG2.png Inglipse]] was, for a time, quite real, thanks to the outcome of the [[http://i.imgur.com/tXL9r.jpg Great Battle of Trathira]].
* {{Hanson}}: Three of Lord Inglip's [[http://inglipnomicon.wikia.com/wiki/The_Brothers_Hanson prophets]].
* GirlOnGirlIsHot / LipstickLesbian: [[AC:saffica necessary]].
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Happened to a [[http://imgur.com/IRxlU Gropaga]] who asked too much about Shaskel
* HighClassGlass: [[http://i.imgur.com/rtePx.png nSIfo]] is a very polite greeting.
* HumongousMecha: The Mantank and the [[http://i.imgur.com/JoZU0.png Grigan]].
* ILoveTheDead:
-->'''Follower''': [[http://i.imgur.com/sQGgD.png MASTER, WITH WHOM SHALL WE STOCK THINE HAREM?]]
-->'''Inglip''': [[AC:the Nonalive]]
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Aside from the seven falchions, gropagas have been commanded to use the trident-like [[http://i.imgur.com/xNRpZ.jpg sclivel]] and the [[http://www.ahajokes.com/funnypics/assets/uploads/fd4efbd3cb7fd43de5ad510f5cc830ab.jpg pailbat]].
* JumpedAtTheCall: [[http://i.imgur.com/0mChC.jpg Poor Estitedo...]]
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Averted. It prefers [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110112231016/inglipnomicon/images/3/31/Falchions.png falchions]]. Seven of them to be precise.
* KillSat: The [[http://i.imgur.com/q1Gv5.png Beam Scumany]].
* LaserBlade: The newest weapon in the Grisidly Army's arsenal: [[http://imgur.com/0FlAA the Xandit Lightsabers]]!
* LightIsNotGood: Chydrego is a god of light, but relies on brainwashing and mind control to gain followers.
* ManlyTears: [[http://i.imgur.com/OQW5c.jpg For Garkee.]]
* MixAndMatchCritters: The gropagas have a [[http://i.imgur.com/EbZND.jpg genetic engineering facility]] which most of the creatures it produces are amalgamations of different animal parts and some odd ones like a living tea pack with [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] appendages.
* TheMultiverse: [[http://i.imgur.com/zPrsO.gif Over a hundred realities.]]
* MundaneUtility: The ability to possess people comes in handy when [[http://i.imgur.com/Nv7DS.jpg signing for packages]].
* MushroomSamba: Apparently [[http://i.imgur.com/cMkeV.png "cracke"]] (not to be confused with crack) has this effect.
* {{Ninja}}: Lord Inglip has a personal squad of elite ninjas, the [[http://imgur.com/ab776 Fujin Edersix]].
* PardonMyKlingon: [[http://i.imgur.com/0e1ip.jpg Scrompla you]], [[http://i.imgur.com/pglDa.gif blesag!]]
* ThePowerOfRock: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN3yPEJD_-Q Improves morale]]!
* {{Omniglot}}: Inglip has made proclamations in [[http://images.wikia.com/inglipnomicon/images/a/a9/Tutlent.png Belgian]], [[http://imgur.com/nlKhe Tagalog]], Italian, Spanish, and English, none of which are its native language, Plasper.
* OneOfUs: If Inglip were real, [[http://i.imgur.com/hnaQM.png it]] [[http://i.imgur.com/ilKJ6.png totally]] [[http://i.imgur.com/LtTTU.jpg would]] [[http://i.imgur.com/daHew.png be]]. (Context for those not in the know, from first to last: {{Firefly}}, TheOffice, Literature/{{Twilight}}, and LAN parties.) It also seems quite averse to [[http://i.imgur.com/VJN5j.png Internet Explorer]], and it suggested [[http://i.imgur.com/lHmRT.jpg watching]] {{Inception}}.
* RedOniBlueOni: Inglip and Chydrego are both [[EldritchAbomination eldritch abominations]] who command mortals to do their bidding through captchas. Inglip prefers [[http://www.reddit.com/tb/fawfg direct confrontation]] and brute force while Chydrego prefers trickery and [[http://www.reddit.com/tb/f9tag mind control]].
* RedWireBlueWire: [[http://imgur.com/LP3n8r0 Subverted, since Prodlly is naturally a fan of TVTropes.]]
* ReligionOfEvil: [[http://i.imgur.com/0ifLs.png Quite possibly.]]
* RuleOfCool: The Saga of [[http://www.geekosystem.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/radjump1.jpg Rad]][[http://i.imgur.com/6ktUb.jpg jumps]].
* RuleThirtyFour: Lord Inglip's a fan, apparently.
* {{Squick}}: [[http://i.imgur.com/GScdG.jpg Apparently even Inglip has its limits.]] [[invoked]]
* SelfReferentialHumor: [[http://i.imgur.com/GTSw8.jpg Mind blown...rebooting...]]
* TakeThat: [[http://i.imgur.com/Hf9Ei.jpg Against]] {{Zalgo}}.
* {{Troll}}: Apparently, Inglip is not above taking [[http://i.imgur.com/a6oFr.jpg potshots]] at its [[http://i.imgur.com/OeEjm.png minions]]. Or [[http://i.imgur.com/8pErn.jpg other people]], for that matter. [[http://www.reddit.com/r/Inglip/comments/fer1k/the_truth_about_chydrego/ Chydrego and his followers]] also live for this purpose. And of course [[http://www.reddit.com/r/Oxallo/ Prodlly]], a one-troll army.
* TheUltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: [[http://i.imgur.com/tXL9r.jpg The Great Battle of Trathira]] ended up pruning many of the captcha deities that had been cropping up.
* WeaponOfChoice: [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110112231016/inglipnomicon/images/3/31/Falchions.png Seven Falchions]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: As mentioned above, Inglip is trying to [[http://i.imgur.com/Sq5yR.jpg prevent the end-times]]. Its expansionism and accumulation of people and materiel is likely an effort towards this end. It also works toward Locisi, [[http://i.imgur.com/oA76R.jpg a time where all can coexist in peace and harmony]].
* XanatosGambit: Chydrego pulled a masterful one [[http://i.imgur.com/tXL9r.jpg here]]. No matter who won, he was poised to pick up the pieces, and was, for a time, once more the second-greatest threat to the Dark Lord, next to the savage Shaskel.
* ZombieApocalypse: A source of troops for Inglip's [[http://inglipnomicon.wikia.com/wiki/Grisidly_Army army]], along with sharks. And gay ghosts. And Tom Selleck clones.
