* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Kimberly thinks so. [[spoiler: Which is why her Chaos Beast is a triceratops known as Pony Gary Yellow.]]
** Baron Luca
** There is also the option to be one

* UltimateEvil:
** Master, the shadowed main villain of the Skyguard storyline. Say his real name and you'll end up reliving your nightmares every time you go to sleep, courtesy of the Dreamweaver.
** The Beastmaker is shown to be this.

The game follows your character on their path to become TheHero of a legend. After saving a dragon from a princess ([[FlatYes Yes.]]), they moves to Swordhaven, in hope of getting their reward... Instead, they found a burning city filled with undead and a giant, flying dracolich hovering just above the King's medieval castle. As he/she journeys inside it, they now start watching the overwhelming number of undead try to destroy the city, while the local Paladin, Artix -- ([[AuthorAvatar yes, that one]]) -- tries fighting them all in vain. TheHero goes to the throne-room to 'help the King', but instead they get to watch the legendary battle of Good vs Evil unfold: King Alteon, king of Swordhaven and ''all of his Pactagonal Knights'' versus Sepulchure, lord of the legendary [=ShadowScythe=] and proclaimed '''Master of the Undead'''. The two arch-enemies fight a fierce battle, with neither gaining advantage over the other, although they [[GameplayAndStorySegregation apparently pause long enough]] for you to decide which side you're fighting on. As they proceed to unleash their most powerful techniques... Something ''unexpected'' happens...

One of the primary features of the game is the abundance of main Classes that one can pick and choose from. Since classes are treated much like any other item in your inventory (with the only stipulation that you ''must'' have a class and a weapon equipped at all times), it is quite possible for your character to have many different classes (as opposed to ''just'' one or two for the entirety of his or her in-game career like in other MMO games), with the only major limitations being that you can only have one class equipped at any given time and you cannot change classes (or any other items in your inventory for that matter) while bonking monsters in mid-battle.

* TheFourGods: The Chinese New Year event features the [[TurtlePower Black Tortoise]], the [[PantheraAwesome White Tiger]], the [[ThePhoenix Red Bird]], and the [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Blue Dragon]].

* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: Or rather, in this case, As Long As There Is Fear. [[spoiler:The main boss of the Fear Chaser event, a giant winged skeletal entity simply called FEAR, mentions that life is fear, fear has existed ever since the first moment the first creature appeared, and even after his defeat, he's not going anywhere despite how easy it is for a truly fearless hero to overcome fear, because most people need fear as fear is a part of life]].
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Quite common among players
* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: [[spoiler: In the most unlike events ever, Gravelyn gives Chuckles--yes THAT Chuckles--a promotion by swapping his skull with Noxus's!]]

* {{BFS}}: As per usual AE standards, but never like this before. Weapons like [[http://aqwwiki.wikidot.com/caladbolg-sword Caladbolg]] and the [[http://aqwwiki.wikidot.com/ungodly-reavers-of-nulgath Ungodly Reavers of Nulgath]] dance on the line between looking really cool and looking really silly. Some of these things have to be at least ten feet long, and you can even [[UpToEleven dual wield a few of the more ridiculous ones]].

* UpToEleven: If what Artix states is true, a weekly script for [=AQWorlds=] is 1.5 pages (double spaced). The Doomwood finale has 12 pages SINGLE SPACED (which is for dialogue, quests, reward shops, bosses, etc).

** This rather [[HumiliationConga humiliating and embarrassing]] fate happens to most of the Chaos Lords so far: [[SquishyWizard Escherion]] was [[LaughablyEvil turned into a frog]], {{Kitsune}} was sealed away in the rift taking him back to the [[{{Youkai}} Yokai]] world, [[HybridMonster Wolfwing]] was reduced to a pile of ashes by Shadowslayer Z until the Mystic Wolf Moon began slowly restoring his remains, and [[TheStarscream Led]][[OmnicidalManiac germayne]] was converted back into the raw mana from which it was made.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair:
** Players are capable of changing their hair color, and they can even change it to green, blue, purple, or even white.
** Captain Stratos of the Skyguards has Blue Hair.

* SuperSpeed: Kitsune uses this.

** [[spoiler:Laken's saga: The good news? The World Soul is saved, therefore enabling Lore to be saved as well, and Dage, who had decided to help preserve the balance between the living and the dead and sever his contract with Nulgath instead of destroying him and conquering Lore like he originally intended, has reclaimed the Dark Shard, the last thing he needs in order to be free of him for good. The bad news? The Seraphic Paladins have lost their leader Laken, who had lost his sanity due to discovering his master's change of plans and was corrupted by said insanity beyond saving. Ada therefore has to put down Laken in the end, [[DespairEventHorizon but is both heartbroken over his death and enraged at the Undead Legion for what had to be done at the same time, and, unable to get over the death of the very man who took such good care of her]], [[ThisIsUnforgivable refuses to forgive them, vowing to come for them to make them and those who sided with them pay someday]], thus providing us with a possible SequelHook.]]

%% * GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The Description of The Blood Cloak seems to imply that The Blood Cloak is covered in Blood.
%% ** In Ziri's Baconcat Fortress, the high score to his game [[GagBoobs is]] [[StealthPun 5318008]].

** [[spoiler:During the Fire War saga, you fight Akriloth again. His stats this time are ''truly'' [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale off the scale]]: level 99, 5-star rating, health of 819,830,969, ''and'' his attacks do obscene amounts of damage -- 177,383 to 180,259 damage, enough to drop even a high-tier max-level hero in one shot. Thankfully, the rematch puts him down to a much more manageable level so the hero can actually defeat him]].

** [[spoiler: The Sandsea saga has Expies of {{Disney/Aladdin}} villains, with Zahart being one of Abis Mal and his minion Tibicenas, the eighth Lord of Chaos, being an expy of Genie Jafar]].

* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:The Hero]] turns out to be the physical embodiment of [[spoiler:The Eternal Dragon of Time]], the universe's closest equivalent to a god.

%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * GenkiGirl: Beleen. Duh.
%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * GenieInABottle: [[spoiler:Saahir]].

* ShockingSwerve: During the Queen of Monsters saga finale, we see [[spoiler:that the Queen has been killed, with the new BigBad Malgor holding her head in front of the hero. Then Malgor reveals that it wasn’t him who killed her, but the hero who just so happened to forget those events. Keep in mind that there was no mention or hint of Malgor anywhere beforehand.]]
