History YMMV / GobletGrotto

* AnticlimaxBoss: the Dragon-Emperor is this. His palace is the largest level in the game, consisting of several dozen rooms, all with their own flavour text conveying his [[{{Utopia}} unimaginable glory, wealth and power]]. Some rooms’ descriptions also feature small details like heads of the executed implying that [[CrapSaccharineWorld not everything is as good as it seems]]. When you finally meet him, he has the sprite of the Necromancer, but he doesn’t attack. You go talk to him… guess what happens.
--> Dragon-Emperor: [[spoiler: It is good to see you.]]
** Yes, that’s it. You can try to attack him afterwards, but he is absolutely invulnerable and doesn't bother to fight back.

* {{Squick}}: [[spoiler: The King's intestines lead into the massive lurky sea. This can be much more disturbing to players who got there through another way first.]]

* CharacterAlignment: Invoked in the game, with Swampy characterised as Lawful on the title screen. However, this is static text that doesn’t change depending on your actions (which can be anything but lawful) and hardly representative of anything. Due to the game often acting like the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' parody, many characters can also fit into this.
** AlwaysChaoticEvil: Subverted. Many enemies seem like this, but nearly all of them will have some non-hostile version that you can talk to without repercussions: i.e. crime researchers, many peaceful goblet men and skeletons.
** ChaoticEvil: The criminals are this, and same would apply to the Goblet Men and a lot of other enemies you meet.
** LawfulEvil: The skeletons are this, with a preordained system of how to convert others and form their armies. Similarly, the Policemen are very much this, keeping up the law and having prisons set up, yet many of them have become corrupt and will attack you on sight for non-existent crimes.
** LawfulStupid: The Policemen you meet that aren’t corrupt are often this. You’ll find one who says that after apprehending the criminal he will need to guard the pile of confiscated money forever, for instance.
** NeutralEvil: The necromancers [[spoiler: including the dragon-emperor]] are this, only seeking their own advancement and unconcerned with maintaining systems or causing chaos.
** StupidNeutral: The dwarves are often this, doing nothing even as they get clubbed by the Goblet Men.
