History VideoGame / MedievalCop

* DeadlyGame: The main plot of Chapter 3. Kid Ada's mom treats it like a school game... including showing up to cheer on her. [[spoiler:When she fails to show up later, Ada concludes she must have died, and as far we know it was right on that assumption]]
* TheInsomniac: [[spoiler:Kid Ada was one, because her mom haunted her. By the way, she's the daughter of Evelyn, the first true killer (also SerialKiller) small Dregg ever faced.]]

The series can be found on the maker's Kongregate [[https://www.kongregate.com/accounts/VasantJ HERE]]. Later installments are posted on his Newsground [[https://vasantj.newgrounds.com/ HERE]], or are findable through his Patreon [[https://www.patreon.com/geminigamer HERE]].

* BarrierMaiden: Arc the Angel of Life. If she dies the whole universe dies. Mind you in time a new one (both Arc and Universe) is born to replace them, but that's not a comfort for all the life in the previous universe that perished. In-universe legends suggest it's ''not'' a good thing for her to live longer than she supposed to either or she transforms into the corruped goddess Arcana. [[spoiler:Currently she is in the middle of transforming and Dregg took her place by sheer force of will...]] Death thinks this is a phenomenally bad idea.
* BigEater: Amber is implied to be one since her first aperance... until Chronicles 8 where she proves the trope true by devouring a layered cake as big as herself ''under a minute''.

** Emily & Ethan (first appears in 3), twins who have a rather strange mindset where they think that Dregg is hitting on both of them after a conversation, [[spoiler: but for their job, they're quite ruthless and effective enough to seriously harm Eva.]]

* FracturedFairyTale: Pretty much all the cases in the archive in ''Chronicles 7'', and also the case Ada solves in Wolves Bane 2.

** Dregg is mostly disliked by everyone in the Rightia Kingdom especially his niece and nephew, Ina and Mina and his brother-in-law, Vilrole but some people kept him around because he's brilliant at detective works when it comes to being a cop and also because some people do genuinely like him for who he is.

* ISeeDeadPeople: [[spoiler:Dregg]] apparently since his childhood, or to be precise ''Song and Silence Part 2''. [[spoiler:He also sees Death itself according a Chronicles episode.]]

* KnightInSourArmor: Dregg is truly a depressed, nihilistic, rude asshole with a scathingly low opinion of humanity, the world in general, and the post office in particular. And he's a hero with a general WeHelpTheHelpless attitude despite all of this.
* LowFantasy: The series fit under this initially despite the {{Animesque}} art. Smaller scale? Check. At first. Greyer morality? Check. Low magic? Check. Mostly mind manipulation that's half MaybeMagicMaybeMundane. Human focused? Check. etc.. The whole thing starts to break down when a god [[spoiler:(Draziel)]] chooses to break the AlienNonInterferenceClause (it's rude to not notify the others), which also forces everybody else in the CelestialBureaucracy to make their moves.

* WindmillCrusader: Mel Vin, Defender of Humanity and Eater of Evil Chickens! Medieval Angel even revealed that there ''is'' a maffia made of sentient chickens, and they want in on the main game's action. By Deathwish, they have actually started their world conquest.
* TheWonka: King Frake is the kinda guy who would hold a trial for a dragon, or design an escape route to include a statue flipping off the escapee... he's still not there because he isn't good at being a king.

* AlternateSelf: [[spoiler:In ''Resurrection'' part 1, after Dregg dies, he is transported to a room where six other Dreggs have all died in their own timelines.]]
* AlternateUniverse: What ''Song and Silence'' part 3 is set in. The timeline and the world seems to be like what lead to the main story's up to 19 years ago, when [[spoiler:Evelyn]] and [[spoiler:Arc]] died. But for some reason here [[spoiler:Arc didn't die because Dregg "killed" her she just lost the will to live, so no Amber was born, and Dregg never got the chance to conquer Death etc.]]... meaning the world ''technically'' ended, nothing, absolutelly ''nothing'', was born in the last 19 years. The games also state that whenever Dregg would die but ''doesn't'' also spawns one where he did (so yet another doomed one).

* {{Angrish}}: Dregg's reaction in Medieval Cop 6 when he discovers the "resort" Dr. Sigh sent him to is an insane asylum.
* AsYouKnow: Dregg's initial meeting with Eva in Medieval Cop 7.

* BerserkButton: Post office for Dregg. If there's one thing that drives him up the wall, it's the post office. [[spoiler: Though it's really subverted in Medieval Cop 6, it turns out that Dregg just wanted to hate something. He still hates the post office enough to shove the soul of a post office worker into the flames of hell... long story. So we could say this crossed over to IrrationalHatred territory.]] [[spoiler: Medieval Cop 9 revealed he hates the post office because his mom is the boss of one of the post offices so he just wanted an excuse to stay away from her because he has people who care about him.]]

** Don't say women are useless within earshot of [[spoiler: Blueberry]].

** In Medieval Cop 4, after Dregg gets beat up due to a lot of misunderstandings, there's a Game Over Screen, though Dregg says, "I am not dead yet, you asshole....!!!".
** At the end of Medieval Cop 7, [[spoiler: Draziel]] gloats to the player about [[spoiler: killing Dregg.]]
* BreakThemByTalking: Most debates or late stage investigations are this in the game, but ''Dimensional Debates'' are also stated to be this just exaggerated to the point of PsychicPowers (or [[FunctionalMagic magic]]).

* FluffyTheTerrible: [[spoiler: Dregg's dragon]] is named Mr Snuggles.

* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: Oddly they are the negative principles contrasting the Angels not demons. And more oddly the text seems to imply that they're either neutral forces and/or necessary evils. [[spoiler:It also implies that Dregg is the avatar of one of them, most likely candidate being Death.]]

* LimitedWardrobe: Lampshaded by Dregg if you click on the right-hand dresser in Medieval Cop 3.

* MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: When Tira investigates Dregg's imaginary murder in her mindscape in Medieval Cop 8, she comments that Amber might've done it because he gave her menial jobs and paid little attention to her otherwise.

* MistakenForGay: Ethan thought Dregg was hitting on him in Medieval Cop 3, and Princess Aria thinks he is this in Medieval Cop 4 and 5. Well, in the case of Aria it's more "mistaken for pervert" thanks to this trope by Ethan, and a whole lot of "ThatCameOutWrong" by Dregg involving Emily and Ada.
* MysticalPregnancy: [[spoiler:Medieval Cop 5 reveals that the Enio Kingdom believes this happened to the queen of Enio, as Princess Aria was conceived 10 months after the King died.]]

* NoodleIncident: At the start of Medieval Cop 5, one of the guards is telling the other about his wife's altercation with a monkey.

* RussianReversal: While Amber is being chased by chickens in Medieval Cop 8, the chicken leader, who's accompanied by a bear, complains that the heretic is getting away.

* ShoutOut: While in Hell Dregg manages to fall into something looking suspiciously like ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''. Then because Dregg is Dregg he murders the "Flowey" of the scene mid exposition and intimidates the rest of the off screen cast into letting him go.
* TapOnTheHead: Happens in almost every episode. To Dregg numerous times, Felicia in 3 and 4, and Amber in nearly all Medieval Shorts episodes.
* TemptingFate: The museum guards in Medieval Cop 5, one of whom says nobody is going to scale the wall and get through the windows shortly before Magnifico and his apprentices ''do''.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: The asylum guards in Medieval Cop 6 are pretty easily distracted by Mel's ventriloquism.
* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler: Deathwish starts with Dregg dead and in Hell, being killed by Draziel the previous game.]]
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Subverted. Rightia's Police has a [[TheShrink shrink]], currently a guy named [[MeaningfulName Dr. Sigh]], but they apparently burn through them at an alarming rate either by driving them crazy, or assassinating them. Sigh is on Dregg's hit list since episode 6, and the work already drove him crazy by the time we hit Medieval Angel 5.
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Prince Bernard is [[LargeHam quite upset]] at losing to Felicia in Medieval Cop 4.

* TimmyInAWell: Dregg's interaction with the dog near the well in Medieval Cop 3.

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: When Mr Snuggles first appears in 2, he's a professor's tame pet. After some training in the Yale household, he's able to fly and harm people.]]
* WeNamedTheMonkeyJack: If you pick "Insult him" while trying to snap Polly out of depression in Medieval Cop 3, Dregg remarks that Polly's parents hated him so much they named him after the family parrot.
* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: [[spoiler: Dregg]] delivers one of these to [[spoiler: Mathio]] at the end of Medieval Cop 6. [[spoiler: He then promptly switches his usual Dimensional technique for one far more powerful.]]
* WorthyOpponent: In Medieval Cop 9, Polly considers Dregg one after the school trial.

* CallForward: Medieval Shorts 2 explains how Dregg got the tickets to the Invidia Games in Medieval Cop 4.

** The first shorts has a Game Over screen where Amber has a breakdown over seeing an innocent being arrested without her doing anything, then [[spoiler:it's interrupted when Dregg tells everyone to shut up.]]
** In the first part of the 5th episode, after the Spirit Realm burns [[spoiler:Amber's newfound]] wings, you get a game over with options to go back to the startup screen, or not. If you refuse, this leads into a fairly lengthy exchange between the Spirit Realm and [[spoiler:[[FromBeyondTheFourthWall the player]]. If you repeatedly refuse to give up, Amber transforms into the [[CelestialParagonsAndArchangels Archangel]] of Hope]] and we get the real ending of the installment.

* PowerGivesYouWings: [[spoiler:Amber grows her wings when she falls into the Spirit Realm in Medieval Angel 5. Arc is so powerful that she gets six wings in total.]]

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Amber's first encounter with Ina and Mina in Medieval Shorts 2.

* WhamEpisode: Medieval Angel 5 reveals that [[spoiler:Arc is Amber's mother]].

* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Dregg's family threw a party complete with balloons and streamers after receiving word that Dregg had (supposedly) died. Turns out they knew all along that he was still alive and were just pretending to celebrate to screw with him.
* ChessWithDeath: The 2nd part of Episode 8 revealed that [[spoiler:Dregg]] debates Death every time he would kick the bucket. The mere fact he keeps ''winning'' earned him the "Conqueror of Death" title and power.

** Expanding this ''Medieval Chronicles 8'' evolved into a full on {{prequel}} which would imply most other are {{interquel}}s on a somewhat fuzzy timeline. [[spoiler:''6'' already dropped spoilers to main series entries not out yet, making it a {{sequel}}.]]

** Prominent example of PlayedForLaughs in Episode 7: Polly tries to get to the womens' bathroom by claiming that he "identifies as woman". The guard rebukes him, leaning out by LeaningOnTheFourthWall and pointing out that they are in medieval setting and therefore these modern trends do not apply.
* DisguisedInDrag: [[spoiler: Dregg spends nearly the whole of Episode 5 dressed as a woman, after he "lost some bets". His disguise works so well that Captain Regina's team genuinely believe he's a woman.]]
* DrunkOnMilk: Amber gets drunk off of apple juice in Episode 6, complete with hangover afterwards. Subverted when it's discovered that the bartender had made it with fermented apples that should have been thrown out.

* PaperThinDisguise: Episode 7 shows a DoubleSubversion this trope. Dregg finds a wig and dons it to pass the guarded entrance to woman toilet. While this disguise is extremely crude, the guard is long-sighted, and therefore is not able to see Dregg's face, only the long-haired silhouette. This subversion of the trope is then double subverted when the guard comments that he can distinguish a woman from a long-haired man by voice, something that he has clearly failed in. And the game does it again when later Amber, who always had short hair, comments that said guard never let ''her'' use the women's bathroom... so women failed this guard's "woman test" apparently routinely.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler:Dregg]] looks, acts, and even sees thinks ''remarkably'' like his mother, especially considering they never interacted until well into his adulthood. [[spoiler:Yes, this means she is also a very competent but also rude borderline nihilistic jerk, whose rare smiles make everybody scramble for cover.]]
* SweetPollyOliver: Amber spends all of Episode 5 dressed up as a man, complete with a fake moustache.

* WhamLine: The final lines of Episode 6 contain a doozy, especially considering certain events in the main series...

* WholePlotReference: Episode 2 ''Super Unnatural'' is a Franchise/ScoobyDoo episode with the main characters making up the Scooby gang (the mystery is also half {{clueless|Mystery}} (you can solve the [[spoiler:drug smuggling]] part just fine, but the [[spoiler:murderer]] was someone you never met) and the villain complains about ''"YouMeddlingKids"'' and their little dog too). When it isn't it's a Series/{{Supernatural}} spoof.

* BloodierAndGorier: The third part of sub-series, so much it earned a content warning at the start. Mind you, it's still an RPG Maker game which limits and cartoonifies the gore a lot.
* BotheringByTheBook: If you ''don't'' have money to exploit the system, you might exploit the rules that prop up a system. Ie. If you can't get a coma-feigning suspect to attend his trial, get someone who over-ranks his doctor and make that person ''set him on fire''. Oh, and if you can't get water fast enough? Kick the asshole '''for fire safety'''!
* CloudCuckooLander: Ada's default personality, prone to hurling herself on a couch to fall asleep in the middle of a case, or believing the victim in the first Wolf's Bane game is Santa Claus, since his impaled corpse was found in a fireplace at the bottom of a chimney.
* CreepyGood: When Ada's [[LetsGetDangerous directly threatened or has no time for niceties]], then bad people suffer, usually in ways that horrify even her allies. The instance where she set a suspect on fire to wake him from a (fake) coma is one of the less terrible things she's done to a criminal.
* DeadlyGame: The main plot of the third game. Small Ada's mom treats it like a school game... including showing up to cheer on her. [[spoiler:When she fails to show up later, Ada concludes she must have died, and as far we know it was right on that assumption]]
* TheInsomniac: [[spoiler:Small Ada was one, because her mom haunted her. By the way, she's the daughter of Evelyn, the first true killer (also SerialKiller) small Dregg ever faced.]]
* LittleMissSnarker: When Small Ada talks, it all tends to drip with sarcasm. For example, her opinion on the deadly game:

* TheNameless: As revealed in the third part, [[spoiler:Ada didn't actually have a name as a child. When she tried to explain to the doctors that her carer was called Adeline Graceheart, the doctors cut her off and just assumed that she was called Ada.]]
* NarratorAllAlong: The poetic opening and ending narration of episode three is revealed to be a letter by [[spoiler:Evelyn]] to some unknown recipient. [[spoiler:She telling that someone in very metaphorical language that she thinks Ada is an EnfantTerrible and she's doing a world a favor by terrorizing her, and fears what she could become unchecked. Not sure how "Cop" would have rated for her.]]

''Medieval Cop'' is an UsefulNotes/RPGMaker MV Flash game series developed by [=VasantJ=] with all of the games freely available through Kongregate. It has several side series: one called ''Medieval Shorts'' (later rebranded as ''Medieval Angel'') focuses on idealistic new cop Amber, a second titled ''Medieval Chronicles'' that is a throwback to the first couple of games, and a third featuring Ada called ''Wolf's Bane''. There's also a spin-off game that doesn't involve the main story called [[WesternAnimation/HowtheGrinchStoleChristmas How the Grump Stole Christmas]].

The games also state that whenever Dregg would die but ''dosen't'' also spawns one where he did (so yet another doomed one).

* RealityEnsues: In the ''How the Grump Stole Christmas'' special, which subverts the original message of the source material into a tiered one that starts as "[[CaptainObviousAesop Don't Steal]]", continues with but "[[DoWrongRight but by off chance you do, don't give yourself up]]", and ends in "and [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop don't expect your victims to forgive you]]".

** [[spoiler:Ada]] to the Scion police, she is [[BunnyEarsLawyer good at her job]] but has quirks that don't fit in the more orderly world of Scion.

* BadBoss: [[spoiler:Draziel]] murders his subordinate for speaking out of turn.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: In Medieval Cop 4, after Dregg gets beat up due to a lot of misunderstandings, there's a Game Over Screen, though Dregg says, "I am not dead yet, you asshole....!!!".

** In the first part of the 5th episode after the Spirit Realm burns [[spoiler:Amber's newfound]] wings you get a game over with options to go back to the startup screen or not.

** Dregg notes to himself to "NeverMessWithGranny [[spoiler:Heart]]".

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: often played with to reinforce the late-medieval setting of the game
** often played straight with punishment for crimes -- the death sentence is not only for murder, but also for involuntary manslaughter due to neglience.
** Prominent example of PlayedForLaughs in Episode 7: Polly tries to get to the woman bathroom by claiming that he "identifies as woman". The guard rebukes him, leaning out by LeaningOnTheFourthWall and pointing out that they are in medieval setting and therefore these modern trends do not apply.

* SweetPollyOliver: [[spoiler: Amber spends all of Episode 5 dressed up as a man, complete with a fake moustache.]]
* TheUnsmile: [[spoiler:Dregg's]]. It wins him the Halloween costume contest every year.

* BloodierAndGorier: The 3rd part of sub-series, so much it earned a content warning at the start. Mind you it's still an RPG Maker game which limits and cartoonifies the gore a lot.

* RecruitingTheCriminal: Well, technically "Recruiting the Mental Patient", but this is how [[spoiler:Ada]] ended up on the force. After her mom died she was forced into a situation where she [[SpreeKiller ended up massacring half the Scion royalty]], who better to keep the jerks who think they're above the law in check?
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: The unofficial motto of all the Scion kingdom. Ada had to pay entry fee to a ''crime scene'' she had to investigate.

The games play similarly to the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' series of games as you have to explore the area and collect clues before exposing the truth in a grand climax. As the series has progressed the games have become more expansive to include even more standard RPG elements such as puzzles and combat.

* RussianReversal: While Amber is being chased by chickens in Medieval Cop 8, the chicken leader, who's accompanied by a bear, complains that the heretic is getting away.
-->'''Soviet Bear:''' In old country, heretics chase you...

[[folder:Medieval Cop]]
* AdamAndOrEve: Adam and Eva is the title of episode 7. Adam and Eva are [[spoiler: two super soldiers from Scion.]]

* AffablyEvil: Lucifer is very polite and nice despite being the literal devil who tortures mortal souls for fun.
* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:Draziel]]

* TheAntiNihilist: [[spoiler:Dregg]] comes off as a straight up StrawNihilist, but if he is why is he on the police force trying to make the world a better place or at least stopping it from becoming worse? Well, because he understands that the only justice in the world is what we make. So we should god damn make it! To be fair [[spoiler:the dead pestering him for closure is also a factor.]]
* {{Angrish}}: Dregg's reaction in Medieval Cop 6 when he discovers the "resort" Dr. Sigh sent him to is an insane asylum.
* AsYouKnow: Dregg's initial meeting with Eva in Medieval Cop 7.
-->'''Dregg:''' Eva, the soldier from Balboa who killed the lawyer E. Vil and tried kidnapping the Princess.\\
'''Eva:''' Aww, you remembered me... I am flattered...
* BadBoss: [[spoiler:Draziel]] murders his subordinate for speaking out of turn.
** [[spoiler: Eva]] asks a guard whether he has a family, then murders him, just to blackmail [[spoiler: Princess Sarah.]]
* BerserkButton: Post office for Dregg. If there's one thing that drives him up the wall, it's the post office. [[spoiler: Though it's really subverted in Medieval Cop 6, it turns out that Dregg just wanted to hate something. He still hates the post office enough to shove the soul of a post office worker into the flames of hell... long story. So we could say this crossed over to IrrationalHatred territory.]] [[spoiler: Medieval Cop 9 revealed he hates the post office because his mom is the boss of one of the post offices so he just wanted an excuse to stay away from her because he has people who care about him.]]
** Do not call Ina an angel unless you want to die.
** Don't say women are useless within earshot of [[spoiler: Blueberry]].
** From Medieval Angel: Don't you dare to call [[spoiler:Aurum's]] golden hair blonde.

* BigWhat: A quite common reaction. For example, when Dregg has already solved the case or when King Frake decides to hold a trial for a Dragon.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: In Medieval Cop 4, after Dregg gets beat up due to a lot of misunderstandings, there's a Game Over Screen, though Dregg says, "I am not dead yet, you asshole....!!!".
** At the end of Medieval Cop 7, [[spoiler: Draziel]] gloats to the player about [[spoiler: killing Dregg.]]
* BreakThemByTalking: Most debates or late stage investigations are this in the game, but ''Dimensional Debates'' are also stated to be this just exaggerated to the point of PsychicPowers (or [[FunctionalMagic magic]]).

* CallBack: In the second game, Dregg gets knocked out, and hallucinates a big tomato. As he thinks he's dying, he dubs it "the Tomato God". A few games later, the chef of the police station goes mad, and starts sacrificing potatoes to the tomato god.
* CasanovaWannabe: Grim Morris, Dregg's father, hits on every woman in sight... pretty much all wish he would just disappear forever. Given he managed to ''score'' with 4 women in the span Dregg could be conceived his approach seems to pay off somewhat at least thanks to the ''Law of Large Numbers''.
* CastFullOfCrazy: Believe it or not Dregg is considered a ''normal'' cop in this world and this alone should tell you enough.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Apparently, as a kid, Dregg tried to burn his math teacher alive ritualistic-style for, well, being a math teacher. And he would have succeeded were it not for a rainstorm. Well, he claimed math is an invention of the devil and must be stopped. [[spoiler:Given the first part of episode 8 pretty much establishes that to be true he was an oddly prescient kid.]]
* ADogAteMyHomework: Phil's favorite excuse for missing notes or evidence. Phil is literally a [[TalkingAnimal talking dog]]... from HELL.
* EnfantTerrible: Ina & Mina (Dregg's niece & nephew respectively) are Satan worshipers for starters.
* EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep: The (Drunken) Captain, and Chef.
** Captain is actually a subversion of this trope. A flashback in Medieval Cop 8 reveals that it had been his nickname long before he joined the police force. He grew up as boy without a name in the orphanage, a while he was leading other orphans, caretakers there gave him the name "Captain".
* EvilDetectingDog: Phil, [[spoiler:Dregg's lawyer when he had to prove he's worthy to come BackFromTheDead]], claims this about all dogs to extort petting.
* EvilLawyerJoke: When Gru mentions E. Vil's death during the first game, Dregg asks if his job is to give the killer a medal.
* FluffyTheTerrible: [[spoiler: Dregg's dragon]] is named Mr Snuggles.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: [[spoiler:Draziel]]'s medium awareness is so effective, he can alter the player's dialogue choices with his Dimensional Debate. He wants the players to think he's god.
* GasLeakCoverup: There is a leak of a dangerous new medicine in the asylum. Really. [[spoiler: Totally not a fallen angel mind controlling people]].
* GiantFootOfStomping: The illusionary rock golem that appears when Dregg uses his Ragnarock technique.

* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: Oddly they are the negative principles contrasting the Angels not demons. And more oddly the text seems to imply that they're either neutral forces and/or necessary evils. [[spoiler:It also implies that Dregg is the avatar of one of them, most likely candidate being Death.]]
* IdolSinger: Princess Sarah. Her songs even become part of the clues for a case.
* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Chef. He speaks in full gibberish as far the players know, the other characters still tend understand him without problem.
* InterfaceScrew: When Dimensional Debating exceptionally powerful opponents the text will show up messed up at places (missing letters and whatnot). Also, the title screen in the first part of Medieval Cop 8 changes into a ruined version which says "Medieval God".

* LiteralMetaphor: One of the first things [[spoiler:Arc ie. the Angel of]] Life does, when meeting Dregg is giving him lemons. Yes. The literal fruit. Her next action is trying to explain how to make lemonade. It seems to be (one of) her life mission(s) to make every saying about "Life" happen the most literal way possible. This gets a [[BrickJoke comeback]] later:
-->When did you become such a philosopher?
-->'''Dregg:''' Since Life decided to give me lemons.
* LimitedWardrobe: Lampshaded by Dregg if you click on the right-hand dresser in Medieval Cop 3.
-->'''Dregg:''' I don't know why I even bother buying clothes. I just wear these everyday.

* MarriedToTheJob: Emily and Ethan have said this to Dregg when they thought he was hitting on them.
* MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: When Tira investigates Dregg's imaginary murder in her mindscape in Medieval Cop 8, she comments that Amber might've done it because he gave her menial jobs and paid little attention to her otherwise.
-->'''Dregg:''' That would be a pathetic reason to die. Oh wait, pathetic is supposed to be my middle name.
* MindControl: Strong enough Dimensional techniques may be used this way.
* MistakenForGay: Ethan thought Dregg was hitting on him in Medieval Cop 3, and Princess Aria thinks he is this in Medieval Cop 4 and 5. Well, in the case of Aria it's more "mistaken for pervert" thanks to this trope by Ethan, and a whole lot of "ThatCameOutWrong" by Dregg involving Emily and Ada.
* MysticalPregnancy: [[spoiler:Medieval Cop 5 reveals that the Enio Kingdom believes this happened to the queen of Enio, as Princess Aria was conceived 10 months after the King died.]]
* NoSell: When Dregg wants to use his [[spoiler: Dimensional Buster]] on [[spoiler: Draziel]], the latter simply says "I'm afraid I cannot allow that", which effectively stops the power.
* NoodleIncident: At the start of Medieval Cop 5, one of the guards is telling the other about his wife's altercation with a monkey.
* OneSteveLimit: downplayed with two police officers being called by almost the same name - one of them being a particularly unpleasant "officer Grimms" and the other, "officer Grim" being Dregg's father. However, "Grim" is just a shortened version of "Grimoire".

* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler: Draziel is really a god, trying to take over the world.]]
* PunnyName: The start of Medieval Cop 6 has a Dr. Kare Les. Episode 1 featured a guy called E. Vil. Unsurprisingly he was a [[EvilLawyerJoke lawyer]].
* RealityEnsues: In the ''How the Grump Stole Christmas'' special, which subverts the original message of the source material into a tiered one that starts as "[[CaptainObviousAesop Don't Steal]]", continues with but "[[DoWrongRight but by off chance you do, don't give yourself up]]", and ends in "and [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop don't expect your victims to forgive you]]".
* RescueRomance: [[spoiler:Princess Sarah]] has a crush on Dregg ever since he rescued her in Medieval Cop 3. Unfortunately he is ObliviousToLove.

* SerialEscalation: The first game is a simple murder case. The next one a murder with a dragon. The next one a kidnapping of the princess. Then comes a game that decides the political situation of a continent. After 8 games, there is [[spoiler: a god trying to take over the world, and the Devil using Dregg to stop him. Some main characters turn out to be, or at least have known angels. Oh, and the chicken apocalypse has started...]]
* ShoutOut: While in Hell Dregg manages to fall into something looking suspiciously like ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''. Then because Dregg is Dregg he murders the "Flowey" of the scene mid exposition and intimidates the rest of the off screen cast into letting him go.
* TapOnTheHead: Happens in almost every episode. To Dregg numerous times, Felicia in 3 and 4, and Amber in nearly all Medieval Shorts episodes.
* TemptingFate: The museum guards in Medieval Cop 5, one of whom says nobody is going to scale the wall and get through the windows shortly before Magnifico and his apprentices ''do''.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Dregg is mostly disliked by everyone in the Rightia Kingdom especially his niece and nephew, Ina and Mina and his brother-in-law, Vilrole but some people kept him around because he's brilliant at detective works when it comes to being a cop and also because some people do genuinely like him for who he is.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: The asylum guards in Medieval Cop 6 are pretty easily distracted by Mel's ventriloquism.
* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler: Deathwish starts with Dregg dead and in Hell, being killed by Draziel the previous game.]]
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Subverted. Rightia's Police has a [[TheShrink shrink]], currently a guy named [[MeaningfulName Dr. Sigh]], but they apparently burn through them at an alarming rate either by driving them crazy, or assassinating them. Sigh is on Dregg's hit list since episode 6, and the work already drove him crazy by the time we hit Medieval Angel 5.
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Prince Bernard is [[LargeHam quite upset]] at losing to Felicia in Medieval Cop 4.
-->'''Prince Bernard:''' How can this be happening?\\
'''Felicia:''' Gender equality, bitch...
* TimmyInAWell: Dregg's interaction with the dog near the well in Medieval Cop 3.
-->'''Dregg:''' What's that, Lassie? Timmy fell down the well? Good...
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: When Mr Snuggles first appears in 2, he's a professor's tame pet. After some training in the Yale household, he's able to fly and harm people.]]
* WeNamedTheMonkeyJack: If you pick "Insult him" while trying to snap Polly out of depression in Medieval Cop 3, Dregg remarks that Polly's parents hated him so much they named him after the family parrot.
* WindmillCrusader: Mel Vin, Defender of Humanity and Eater of Evil Chickens!
** Medieval Shorts reveals that there ''is'' a mafia made of sentient chickens, and they want in on the main game's action. By Deathwish, they have actually started their world conquest.
* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: [[spoiler: Dregg]] delivers one of these to [[spoiler: Mathio]] at the end of Medieval Cop 6. [[spoiler: He then promptly switches his usual Dimensional technique for one far more powerful.]]
* WorthyOpponent: In Medieval Cop 9, Polly considers Dregg one after the school trial.

* SerialEscalation: Like the original series, these games are like this. First, you have to recover a priceless book from suspected theft. [[spoiler: Then, you prevent the king's assassination GroundhogDay style, and appear to be host to an angel. Zig-zagged by the third game where the main goal is to sell tickets for a fundraising play... in which you talk to animals.]]

* TheFriendNoOneLikes: [[spoiler:Ada]] to the Scion police, she is [[BunnyEarsLawyer good at her job]] but has quirks that don't fit in the more orderly world of Scion.
