History YMMV / DungeonKeeperAmi

** [[spoiler: Chlorine Trifluoride]].

** Keeper Malleus [[spoiler:who enslaved himself a harem, so they could give birth to his children. Said children he then gladly had sacrificed to his dark god of choice]].

** [[TheSociopath Nero]], Arachne's [[TheDragon chief subordinate]], is a {{torture technician}} who enjoys brutal torture and murder.

** Mukrezar as well. He starves out an underworld city by buying all the food to make the world's biggest cake.

** Although JustifiedTrope and FridgeLogic kicks in after a while: Dungeon Keepers are MagnificentBastard [[TheChessmaster Chess Masters]] [[ResurrectiveImmortality which just can't stay dead]], with the most successful amongst their numbers being able to take insanely long lived plans and being a force of terror for generations. Add to that mix every single Evil Trope you can think of (with "depraved" and "ego-maniacs" being '''mild'''), and you can't help thinking it could be worse. (Warhamer40k -style worse?)

* NightmareFuel: The Fairy Sisters react this way to seeing [[spoiler:their sister Cerasse's internal organs]] in the episode "Convoluted Rescue Plan, Go!" Thankfully for all those involved, the [[spoiler:fairy was just made partially invisible instead of being horribly killed and raised as an undead horror]] as the fairies initially thought. A second example of characters reacting to an NightmareFuel situation occurs in-story in the episode "Assault on Wemos", where Keeper Mercury observes [[spoiler:Zarekos torturing Keeper Wemos]] in graphic detail. The details in that scene do border on being {{Squick}}.

* TheWoobie: Ami. Gets transported to the world of DungeonKeeper by pursuing Jadeite into a portal during a Sailor Senshi mission. She immediately gets roped into a DealWithTheDevil situation with a Dungeon Heart, which binds her to the world in question and will send her soul directly to the [[FateWorseThanDeath Dark Gods when she eventually dies]]. If she didn't agree to the deal, the Horned Reaper in the dungeon would have killed her on the spot. The Light Gods want to imprison her forever to protect Ami's world from the Dark Gods' influence and all that entails. Until she finds a way to free herself from being a Keeper, she cannot go home again. [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking And she keeps getting]] [[AccidentalPervert into humiliating situations]]. Granted, Ami is not going to let any of this stop her, but it's still going to be a long road home...

** Furthermore, Evil is just as dumb as Good here - Mercury's various Underworld enemies, and even her own [[InsistantTerminology employees]], seem unable to imagine that she might not be evil.

* CompleteMonster: General rule of thumb; if a Keeper has been around for awhile, he or she is going to be this. Notable examples include the following:

** [[Spoiler: Chlorine Trifluoride]].

** Ami herself is a heroic example of a MagnificentBastard.

* CompleteMonster:

** The fairy scouts seem to get this a lot. How much time is spent focusing on just how doggedly they assume every single thing Mercury does is evil tends to get annoying. They can't really be faulted for the attitude that all Keepers are bad regardless of their intentions, but the scenes involving them seem to drag on forever. We get the point already, Pusakuronu. GoodIsDumb. Justified thou.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Since Keepers can possess their minions bodies, [[spoiler:too many]] viewers have had a hard time keeping track of what Keepers are what gender [[spoiler:Keepers Alphel and Arachne both being females are two good examples]]. It doesn't help matters that Keepers can [[OneWingedAngel alter their forms]]. It also doesn't help matters that Mercury refers to a persons Gender by what body they're inhabiting or possessing, rather than what gender they themselves identify themselves as being or were actually born as, such as when Mercury referred to herself as a male when possessing the Reapers body in the episode [[http://addventure.bast-enterprises.de/226425.html Mad Science for Beginners]].
* TheWoobie: Ami.

* GoodIsDumb: All over the place. The tendency in the story is for all good characters to assume the worst about any and all acts by team evil at the drop of a hat, followed shortly by being a jerkass towards those perceived as evil. And Keepers are at the top of this list. Even those ''directly ordered by and given hints by'' the [[GodOfGood Light Gods]] themselves still treats Ami with all the same distrust they throw at other keepers, twisting those (very real) God's words if necessary to justify their viewpoint.

** Ami.
** Monteraine, a female Magician working for Morrigan. Lives in perpetual fear of [[YouHaveFailedMe failing]] and being turned into one of his [[MindRape 'compliant]] [[GoGoEnslavement little]] [[SexSlave dolls']].

** Ami, arguably. [[ItGotWorse It just keeps getting worse.]]

* CompleteMonster: Any Keeper other than Ami herself, unsurprisingly.
** Special mention must be made to Keeper Malleus [[spoiler:who enslaved himself a harem, so they could give birth to his children. Said children he then gladly had sacrificed to his dark god of choice]].
** And another mention goes to Tasbaal, the high priest in Malleus' employment [[spoiler:who performed said sacrifices]].
** [[TheSociopath Nero]], Arachne's [[TheDragon chief subordinate]], is a [[TortureTechnician torture technician]] who enjoys brutal torture and murder.

* RootingForTheEmpire: Ami is something of an aversion because she's a through-and-through good girl who just happens to be stuck with Keeper powers. Mekrezar plays this one straighter.

* MagnificentBastard: Mukrezar is resurrected ([[IronMan In a cave! With a box of scraps!]]) with no dungeon hearts and barely enough gold to make a few magic rings. In three episodes, he manages to pull off a massive heist that nets him enough gold to create multiple dungeon hearts while emptying the vaults of his biggest rivals and would-be captors.

* TheScrappy: Tiger. To some readers, her having become [[spoiler:Ami's bratty evil twin]] makes her hilarious. To others, it makes her insufferable.
** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Possibly after we understand Tiger's motivations better.
