** [[UpToEleven Taken to completely silly levels;]] he can chow down on an entire elephant, and as of Second Summoners, a Siege Tower.

** Her takes it UpToEleven, and actually [[MindRape Mind Rapes]] Her victims to death.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* BestServedCold: Tordok, Abua Shi.
** The entire Cloaks faction, but more specifically Dagger.
** Also the entire Phoenix Elves faction, especially Prince Elien and Maelena.
* {{BFS}}: Leah Goodwin. My goodness, Leah Goodwyn. If she weren't a woman, you'd think she was compensating for something...
** To a lesser degree, Malevolence.
** Maldaria has one in the fluff.
* TheBigGuy[=/=]TheBrute: Most champion units with 6+ health, as well as any common with 3+ health.
* BlindSeer: Kalal.
* BloodKnight: The Tundra Orcs.
** Mundol is an odd scholarly example.
* BodyHorror: The Filth have this as their hat.
* BoringButPractical: [[FanNickname Catch-up events]] like Magic Drain and Reinforcements.
* BossInMookClothing: Mutation cards are treated as both common AND champion units because of this trope.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Tacullu can do this with Mind Control, and Gulldune adds {{Squick}} by combining this with MindRape.
** The Demagogue can do this with Heretic's Rebuke.
* BreathWeapon: Firedrake.
** Spew Mutants have acidic vomit.
** Vomitus, again with acidic vomit, and potentially the longest range attack in the game.
* CannibalismSuperpower: Blerg's "Adapt" ability.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: [[spoiler:Demons only exist because mortals think they do.]]
* ColdSniper: PlayedForLaughs with Tark.
* CollectibleCardGame: Albeit one without the annoying "rip open ten blister packs looking for a single card" mechanic.
* CombatTentacles: Tentacle mutations, natch

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: The Jungle Elves have Gorillas.

* BadassBeard: Every Dwarf

* OurElvesAreBetter: Phoenix Elves are universally angry and brooding, and use a lot of fire magic. Jungle Elves are [[TheBeastMaster animal tamers]] and [[AnnoyingArrows archers.]] Shadow Elves are CreepyGood, DarkIsNotEvil mages and warriors.

* BadassGrandpa: Samuel Farthen, and Oldin.

* PettingZooPeople: There seem to be a lot of these:
** Dugalla are rat people.
** Vekkids are lizard men.
** Ornithians are bird people.
** Saliens are frog people.
** Mountain Vargath (goat men) are the only main faction that qualify.
** Bodgan is the only skunk person seen thus far. His bio hints that the PettingZooPeople may in fact be [[UpliftedAnimal Uplifted Animals.]]

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: The Guild Dwarves very much fit many Dwarf stereotypes, but are more generally well rounded. Deep Dwarves are a {{Magocracy}} of [[AbsoluteXenophobe xenophobes]] that would do the [[WH40K God Emperor]] proud.

-> "The summoning stones have been found and war is upon you. Carve out your empire - and let your enemies despair!" 

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Elien's treachery (holding back a second stone) is discovered by Maldaria, his mother. She punishes him by having him... clean his room. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted brutally]] when it's revealed that Elien's illegitimate family have all been slaughtered by Kaebeeros, and left there for him to discover.]]

* {{BFS}}: Leah Goodwin. My goodness, Leah Goodwyn. If she weren't a woman, you'd think she was [[FreudWasRight compensating for something...]]

* {{Badass}}:
** Rukar's able to dish out an average 3 wounds per attack, and with 6 life, he has the highest average damage output in the game.
** About the only faction that contains no in-universe badasses is the Cave Goblins.

* OurGodsAreGreater: And they have all been dead for at least a thousand years. This is a big part of the MetaPlot.

%%* MightyGlacier: Smashers and Stone Golems are both this thanks to their abilities.

* {{Badass}}: Where to start?
** [[BadassNormal Rukar's]] a good place. Able to dish out an average 3 wounds per attack, and with 6 life, he has the highest average damage output in the game.

** BadassGrandpa: Samuel Farthen, and Oldin.
** BadassBeard: Every Dwarf
** BigBadassBirdOfPrey: Rahlee's Steed and Hawk's pet, Leonardo.

* GiantFlier: Rahlee's Bird

* {{Expy}}: The way The Seer operates is unnervingly similar to [[DoctorWho Weeping Angels.]]
