| 234 | * GiantMook: Bulwark. He's big, slow, tough, hits hard, and has a shield that can tank additional damage. |
| 235 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Bulwarks carry big shields that give them additional health on top of their own. The shield does protect them, but wears out after taking enough damage and needs to be replaced, not to mention that it can be penetrated by Sniper Nest. Same goes for shields given by Junk Carrier, but those can only be restored if Junk Carrier uses his ability on the same enemy. |
| 236 | * MightyGlacier: Bulwark and Brutalizer. Both are slow, but tough and hit hard, with Bulwark having additional renewable health while Brutalizer has DrawAggro. |
| 237 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: They are the first villains who are presented as competition to Scavengers. However, they've been abducting some Scavengers across the Wasteland and it's this abduction that pits Scavengers against the Order and kickstarts the rest of the plot after the Junkers are defeated. |
| 238 | * StatusBuff: Junk Carriers throw junk at other Junkers, giving them shields that effectively act as extra replenishible health. |
| 239 | * StarterVillain: They're the first villainous faction fought, using simple weaponry cobbled up from scavenged supplies, vehicles that easily break down and generally being a weaker evil counterpart to Scavengers. They get overshadowed by villains that follow. |

| 241 | |
| 242 | !!Swamp Dwellers |

| 246 | * AmphibianAssault: Bloating Frogs again, being dangerous exploding frogs who quickly hop into the battlefield. |
| 247 | * AxCrazy: Swamp Junkers are even more so than their regular counterparts, reduced to rudimentary behavior and madly attacking anyone they see. |
| 248 | * AirborneMook: Bloodsuckers fill this role, being the only flying enemies of the Swamp. |
| 249 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: Bloodsuckers are gigantic creepy mosquitoes who fly across the swanos and attack by sucking the blood out of victims until a shriveled husk is left behind. Spiderlings are big spiders that are spawn of Arachnox and equally like to crawl up to victims and devour them. |
| 250 | * DevouredByTheHorde: Spiderlings are stated to often inflict this, engaging their victims in packs and consuming them. |
| 251 | * EvolutionPowerUp: Weirdeer can evolve into a stronger form, Voo-deer, when left at low health and not killed quickly. Said form deals much more damage and can be dangerous in numbers. |
| 252 | * MultipleHeadCase: Voo-deers have two heads, giving them a creepier design. |
| 253 | * NatureIsNotNice: Wild animals mutated by radiation and experimentation is never not dangerous. |
| 254 | * NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Gator Riders ride aggressive alligators that enjoy feasting on anyone it comes across. |
| 255 | * NuclearMutant: A majority of them are these, being result of radiation and Order experimentation on animals and people. |
| 256 | * PigMan: Man Pigs are a mutant cross of a person and wild boar, possessing traits and behavior patterns of both. |
| 257 | * UndergroundMonkey: Radcoon and Swamp Junker are slightly tougher, swamp-themed counterparts to Wasteland Rat and Junker respectively with no new abilities. |
| 258 | * UnstoppableRage: Man Pigs can enter the enraged stage which they use to charge at Scavengers on all fours while shrugging off any damage. |
| 259 | * WeaponizedOffspring: Spiderlings and Leechazoids are offsprings of Arachnid and Failed Experiment respectively and are used as their flunkies. |
| 260 | * ZergRush: Swamp Junkers and Raccoons, like their Wasteland counterparts, rush your defenses in great numbers. |
| 261 | |
| 262 | !!Psychic Constructs |

| 264 | ---- |
| 265 | * AirborneMook: Flying Sentinel hovers above ground, sacrificing itself to temporarily stun towers. |
| 266 | * AnimateInanimateObject: All of them are everyday city objects and piles of junk brought to life using a psychic energy. |
| 267 | * AntiStructure: The purpose of Flying Sentinel is to stun the first tower it can get to by overlapping it with electric mechanical tentacles. |
| 268 | * AsteroidsMonster: Urban Stomper drops two Rubble Things out of his storage compartment on death. This can be troublesome if Scrap Recyclers are nearby. |
| 269 | * AttackAnimal: Junk Mutt and Nimble Hound are aggressive dog constructs. |
| 270 | * EvolutionPowerUp: If Scrap Recycler absorbs enough Junk, it will transform into more powerful Scrap Destroyer. |
| 271 | * GiantMook: Scrap Destroyer is a hulking MiniMecha - like construct that is both tough and strong. Urban Stomper also counts, being a giant bulldozer. |
| 272 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: Their new eyed glow blue to show they're imbued by psychic energy. |
| 273 | * GroundPound: True to his title, this is how Urban Stomper attacks, slamming his body on the ground to attack Scavengers in an area. |
| 274 | * ImprovisedWeapon: While majority of constructs use their own mass or hooks to attack, Rubble Things carry a traffic light they ripped out of the ground. |
| 275 | * LightIsNotGood: They glow light blue from the psychic energy and their intentions are anything but good. |
| 276 | * RevivingEnemy: Rubble Things become inanimate floating Junk that can turn back into a Rubble Thing if not destroyed in time. |
| 277 | * RockBeatsLaser: Before Scavengers arrived, they managed to defeat a huge number of Order Troops sent to eliminate their overlord and even capture a lot for their master to mind control. |
| 278 | * ShedArmorGainSpeed: If Junk Mutt is left unattended at low health, it sheds off an outer layer of armour and becomes a FragileSpeedster. |
| 279 | |
| 280 | !!The Order |
| 281 | A totalitarian militaristic organization possessing incomparable technology bent on spreading its rule. They are the main antagonistic faction of the game as a whole, gradually introduced starting from Swamp before finally becoming sole antagonists of Order Base. They consist of Order Footman, Order Scientist, Mek Patrol, Order Elite, Order Inquisitor, Order Robospider, Order Ghost, Cyborg Man Pig, Cyborg Gator Rider, Cyborg Brutalizer, Order Scout and Order Juggernaut. |
| 282 | ---- |
| 283 | * AirborneMook: Order Scouts with their hoverbikes. They're more dangerous than others of this type due to their MookMaker capabilities. |

| 285 | * BattleBaton: Inquisitors wield two electrified batons as their means of combat. |
| 286 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: All of them are under the mind control of the BigBad, turned into fanatical soldiers fighting for his cause. |
| 287 | * TheBusCameBack: All Cyborg enemies are upgraded variations of previous enemies, with the return of Man Pig and Gator Rider from Swamp and even Brutalizer from as far as Wasteland. |
| 288 | * ChainsawGood: Cyborg Brutalizer carries an even more dangerous laser chainsaw that he can use to unleash a devastating SpinAttack. |
| 289 | * ChickenWalker: Mek Patrol is a mini version of it. |
| 290 | * {{Cyborg}}: Cyborg Man Pig, Gator Rider and Brutalizer are cybernetic versions of those enemies with more dangerous movesets. |
| 291 | * DarkIsEvil: Their armor is black in colour and they are the most dangerous villainous group this universe has. |
| 292 | * EliteMook: Order Juggernaut and Order Elite. The first is a powerful melee combatant with electric batons who can pull a TakingYouWithMe at low health, while the latter is a KillerRobot with rocket launchers, laser claw and energy net cannon.

| 303 | * NazisByAnyOtherName: The entire organization of these, seeking to spread their regime, employing abduction, human experiments, brainwashing and slave labor. It helps that they're modeled after both actual Nazis and First Order. |
| 304 | * OrderIsNotGood: They seek to unite everyone under their banner. Said banner is that of militaristic oppressors who force you to work as their slave, conduct experiments on you or simply erase your personality and turn you into the same fanatical soldier. |

| 306 | * StatusBuff: Cyborg Man Pig can roar to buff the damage of his allies. |
| 307 | * UniqueEnemy: While Order units are spread out throughout three out of four episodes, each appearing in many levels, Order Scouts, for whatever reason, only appear in unnumbered [[BrutalBonusLevel Nightmare Fortress]]. |
| 308 | * WeaponizedTeleportation: After the introduction of teleporters, they actively use them for ambush tactics. |
| 309 | |
| 310 | !! Kritts |

They consist of Krittling, Whisker, Metal Whisker, Vermincharge, Diggarz, Gutterball, Whiskeleton, Frenzy Vermin, Berserker Vermin, Nightkin, Skreechsnout, Duskgazer, Darkwing and Twilight Seer. |

| 314 | * RatMen: Kritts are a whole race of anthropomorphic rats. |
| 315 | * UndergroundMonkey: Krittling and Whisker are simply Kritt version of Wasteland Rat and Junker respectively, filling the need of quick weak enemy and basic melee combatant. |

| 323 | A hulking gigantic human with the strength enough to shake the earth he walks. Acts as a MiniBoss of Wastelands. |
| 324 | ---- |
| 325 | * AntiStructure: One of his attacks is clapping his fists with such strength nearby towers become encased in rock, temporarily removing them out of combat. |
| 326 | * ArmorOfInvincibility: Due to the great amount of consumed radioactive cacti, his third form can temporarily harden his skin, nullifying all incoming damage. |
| 327 | * TheBrute: Tall, muscular, strong and not exactly bright, he does his job of crushing his foes with great efficiency. |
| 328 | * DarkIsEvil: Wears a black hood which becomes a gas mask in later fights and is definitely against the Scavengers. |
| 329 | * TheDragon: To Rollerdozer Junker, as he is his most powerful warrior and is the last thing standing between him and Scavengers. |
| 330 | * {{Expy}}: His appearance makes him one to ''ComicBook/{{Bane}}'', with his name referencing one of Bane's [[ComicBook/{{Knightfall}} most iconic moments where he broke Batman's back]], and even gaining what appears to be Bane's Venom tubes in his second and third appearances. |
| 331 | * ExtremeOmnivore: After his second defeat, he gorged himself on radioactive cacti. Not only did this not kill him like it would everyone else, but it also granted him new powers he uses in his third fight. |
| 332 | * MightyGlacier: He slowly stomps along the path, but his SuperStrength more than makes up for it. Once he learns a SpinAttack, he alternates between this and LightningBruiser. |
| 333 | * MiniBoss: Even with his attacks and abilities, he is counted as such due to not being the main threat of the Wasteland and appearing multiple times throughout the episode instead of at the end of it. |
| 334 | * RecurringBoss: Appears three times throughout Wastelands, learning new tricks every time, such as the SpinAttack. |
| 335 | * SpinAttack: From his second fight onwards, he can spin to rapidly advance down the path while damaging Scavenger Defenders. Apparently he learned it by punching air a lot. |
| 336 | * SpikesOfVillainy: Gains them in his final form, showing how dangerous he became. |
| 337 | * SplashDamage: His sheer strength produces shockwaves that hurt in an area. |
| 338 | * UnstoppableRage: As he suffers more defeats from Scavengers, he gets more enraged by it until his final fight is him crushing them left and right without breaks. |

| 342 | The leader of the Junkers riding a bulldozer with spiked roller. Is the final boss of Wastelands chapter. |
| 343 | ---- |
| 344 | * ArcVillain: Of the Wasteland. He seeks to establish his rule over it and trample any Scavenger resistance. In the climax of the chapter, he personally confronts scavengers on his own destructive vehicle. |
| 345 | * CarFu: His powerful Rollerdozer can flatten any Scavenger it somes across, as well as produce damaging shockwaves along the path. |
| 346 | * CoolCar: His Rollerdozer is one, a brutal mix of bulldozer and steamroller. |
| 347 | * LargeAndInCharge: While not as large as his right hand, Backbreaker, he is still bigger than any Junker and leads them in his conquest. |
| 348 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: His PreAsskickingOneLiner is this: "You've played well so far, but this is game over for you! " |
| 349 | * LightningBruiser: Once he loses enough health, he considerably speeds up turning into this. |
| 350 | * MightyGlacier: He is slow, but instantly kills anyone he reaches and has a damaging shockwave. |
| 351 | * MookCommander: He can throw junk ath his allies, granting them shields. |
| 352 | * OneHitKill: Courtesy of his spiked roller, he crushes any hero or unit he rolls over. |
| 353 | * ShedArmorGainSpeed: He is protected by multiple layers or armour weighing him down, but he speeds up after sufficient damage is done to each layer and it falls off. This coincides with his [[OneHitKill main ability]]. |
| 354 | * ShockwaveStomp: In a way. The Junker leader can pull the lever to generate a damaging shockwave that affects all units on the path. |
| 355 | * SpikesOfVillainy: Has them on the roller and as part of design. |
| 356 | * WakeUpCallBoss: He is the first proper boss of the game and pulls no punches in showing how difficult in can get with his OneHitKill, speeding up the less health he has, shockwave attack and ability to buff his allies. |
| 357 | * WastelandWarlord: Is this to a T, having hoarded his own army of Junkers and even a personal transportation in form of a modified steamroller. He seeks to spread his oppression over the whole wasteland. |

| 363 | A gigantic radiation-infected spider that stalks the Scavengers throughout swamps. Is a MiniBoss of Swamp. |
| 364 | ---- |
| 365 | * AllWebbedUp: Starting from the second fight, it can spit toxic web globe that trap units in a cocoon, making them temporarily unable to fight. |
| 366 | * CallBack: To Noxious Creeper from ''VideoGame/KingdomRush'', being a mutated antagonistic spider with its own mutated breed, even having similar names. However, where Noxious Creeper was a common enemy and was mutated due to a corruption from the Rotten Forest, Arachnox is a MiniBoss with more attacks and abilities mutated by nuclear radiation and possibly Order experiments. Even their names are similar. |
| 367 | * FlunkyBoss: Can produce a great amount of Spiderlings to fight for him. |
| 368 | * GiantSpider: Goes without saying. |
| 369 | * InASingleBound: It's third form can leap great distances. |
| 370 | * ItCanThink: While it's speech may make it seem like a mindless beast, this mutant spider likes to stalk his prey and thinks about new ways to do so between fights. [[spoiler: His final fight reveals he is actually guarding the territory for the Order instead of simply devouring random people, as well as deliberately consuming a lot of toxic waste barrels to boost its metabolism and give it a new leaping ability, confirming that he is much smarter than he seems. ]] |
| 371 | * MisterSeahorse: Despite being referred to by the male pronouns, he is capable of producing a huge amount of his own offsprings. It is possible this was caused by Order experiments and radiation. |
| 372 | * NuclearMutant: Second most powerful one, only Failed Experiment being stronger. |
| 373 | * RecurringBoss: Appears three times throughout Swamp, each time with new additional ability. |
| 374 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: All of his eyes are red and he's a dangerous radioactive spider. |
| 375 | * SuprisinglyPersistentPredator: It has to be put down three times to kill it for good, the entire time stalking Scavengers throughout Swamp. It's motivations are gradually made clear. |
| 376 | * WeaponizedOffspring: Can produce a whole swarm of smaller spiders that he uses as his flunkies. |

| 380 | A towering mutated frog that came to be thanks to the experiments of Order. A boss of the Swamps. |
| 381 | ---- |
| 382 | * AcidAttack: It's not limited to close range, hurling globs of poison great distances. |
| 383 | * AmphibianAssault: A gigantic and powerful frog mutant that can eliminate scores of scavengers and is even the boss of the chapter. |
| 384 | * ArcVillain: Subverted. While it is the end boss for Swamp, it isn't actually in charge of other mutants and is simply most powerful of them. The true villains are Order soldiers who released it to fight Scavengers. |
| 385 | * BigEater: No matter how many Scavengers it consumes, it is always ready to gobble up more. |
| 386 | * FailedPrototype: It was the first attempt at cyborg creation. The machine parts implementation failed completely, so it used only it's natural mutations and abilities during the fight. |
| 387 | * FlunkyBoss: Spawns Leechazoids from time to time. |
| 388 | * NuclearMutant: A particularly powerful one. |
| 389 | * OneHitKill: His powerful tongue can whip in many Scavengers to instantly consume them. |
| 390 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are red and he is the most powerful mutant. |
| 391 | * RoarBeforeBeating: It emits a great roar at the start of the level and before the battle. Unlike the hisses of Arachnox, it's just a roar. |
| 392 | * WeaponizedOffspring: It's Leechazoids are the closest it has to offspring and they act as flunkies. |

| 398 | A fridge construct that seems to have a degree of sentience or at least robot-like intelligence. Is a MiniBoss of Psychopolis. |
| 399 | ---- |
| 400 | * TheDragon: Mad Esper's most powerful creation that directly answers to him. |
| 401 | * {{Golem}}: Despite his namesake, downplayed. While he is an artificial creation, he possesses a degree of intelligence, a capability of analysis, as well as strategic utilizing of psychic anomalies. |
| 402 | * GroundPound: How he attacks. Instead of using his hands, he utilizes his great weight to slam his body into the ground to create a damaging shockwave. |
| 403 | * HealThyself: From second encounter onward, he can consume junk food stored within him to restore health and shields. |
| 404 | * LargeAndInCharge: Downplayed. He is the same size as huge Urban Stomper, but still towers over other constructs and leads them. |
| 405 | * PowerFloats: Due to being the most powerful artificial construct and this imbued with much of ArcVillain power, it is able to menacingly float instead of walking. |
| 406 | * PsychicPowers: Not to a degree of his master, but he can teleport his allies forward down the path and eventually send out psychic projections. |
| 407 | * WeaponizedTeleportation: He can warp his allies further down the road, allowing them to skip chunks of defense. |
| 408 | |

| 410 | [[quoteright:296:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_20240310_204818.png]] |
| 411 | A powerful psychic that has created all the constructs and brought Psychopolis to the state seen in the game. Is the boss of said chapter. |
| 412 | ---- |
| 413 | * ArcVillain: Of Psychopolis, being the one responsible for it's state and attacking both Scavengers and Order. |
| 414 | * ArtificialHuman:[[spoiler: He was created as part of Order's experiments on psychokinesis, but went rogue, kidnapped other subjects(WiFi Babies) and escaped. ]] |
| 415 | * BigBadWannabe: He utilized his powers to take over the city that would be Psychopolis, created an army of constructs and brainwashed some Order troops, all in effort to take down the Order and rule himself [[spoiler: as a revenge for being experimented on]]. He ends up being brought down despite his efforts before he could fully put his plan into motion. [[spoiler:Furthered by the fact that he is revealed to be a creation of Order. ]] |
| 416 | * HumanoidAbomination: His head is gigantic and disproportionate to the rest of his body and seems to be encrusted with metallic parts. The top of his head is also transparent, showing his glowing brain. Then there is also the fact that he is a powerful psychic, who not only animated a ton of city objects into his soldiers, but he can also telepathically communicate to them and especially his Golem, imbue them with even more power, use mind blasts and teleportation to gain an edge over his enemies. He is also solely responsible for [[EldritchLocation current state]] of Psychopolis. |
| 417 | * MyBrainIsBig: Subverted. Despite his psychic powers and head bigger than his body, his brain is still surprisingly small. [[spoiler: It makes sense when you learn that he is the creation of the Order, an ArtificialHuman toddler in the body of old man. |
| 418 | * NoOnthologicalInertia: Surprisingly, averted. Even though he is responsible for the state of Psychopolis, it doesn't revert back to normal when he dies. [[spoiler: When Scavengers look back on the path they travelled at the end of the game, it's still like it was. ]] |
| 419 | * PsychicPowers: Due to his poor stature and inability to engage in physical combat, he utilizes this to no end, having brought various common city objects to life as his minions, brainwashing some Order troops to his side and floating instead of walking. During his BossBattle, he is able to hurl pieces of debris thanks to his telekinesis, teleport to different paths and create hands out of junk to punch those who stand in his way. |
| 420 | * PsychopathicManchild: Despite his face resembling that of an old man, his behavior resembles that of a child throwing a temper tantrum, from turning the city into his personal playground to indiscriminately attacking anyone and refusing to listen Scavenger's arguments that he is not their enemy. His build and seemingly undeveloped brain further resemblance to a toddler, even his clothing resembling advanced diaper. [[spoiler: He's revealed to be a creation of Order and his "siblings" are actual babies, meaning he ''is'' a child in an old man's body and lashes out on everyone after being experimented on by Order. ]] |

| 426 | A brutal and fanatical warrior of the Order. Is a MiniBoss of Order Base. |
| 427 | ---- |
| 428 | * BadassBoast: Tyrant 1.0 delivers an epic one before his fight: "So far you've only dealt with a little spider and a big-headed baby...now you're facing ME! Hope you like a sky burial, because these snowy fields will be your graves! LONG LIVE HADRON! LONG LIVE THE ORDER!" |
| 429 | * BreakingOldTrends: Unlike other mini-bosses whose last appearance was either in penultimate level of the world or in one of levels earlier than the final one, Tyrants make their last appearance during the FinalBattle, appear in pair and in their 2.0 variation. Except then Hadron reveals a trick up his sleeve when one of Tyrants absorbs the fallen one and upgrades to Tyrant 3.0, the true penultimate boss. |
| 430 | * BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: Tyrant's weapon is a gigantic hammer that allows him to damage all units on the path at once. |
| 431 | * CoDragons: At first, the Tyrant seems like the sole right hand of the BigBad, but the future battles reveals there to be multiple, with different models, but of same rank and authority. |
| 432 | * DevourTheDragon: A rare example that occurs with one of the CoDragons devouring the other. At the penultimate wave of FinalBattle, BigBad brings out two Tyrants 2.0 at once. If one is defeated while other is still alive, the remaining one will use secret technology to absorb the fallen one and upgrade to Tyrant 3.0 with more health, shield and additional MindControl ability. |
| 433 | * TheDragon: Even more so than mini-bosses of other chapters, since Tyrants directly answer to the BigBad of the game as a whole and thus can be considered secondary antagonists of it. They are the most powerful Order combatants and command all troops on the battlefield. |
| 434 | * LargeAndInCharge: He towers over all previous mini-bosses and other enemies and is TheDragon commanding other troops. |
| 435 | * MindControl: Tyrant 3.0 is capable of brainwashing Scavengers into becoming Order Inquisitors, which works well in conjunction with his teleport swap. |
| 436 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Downplayed. While 1.0 Tyrant didn't reveal any strategic information or other useful data, he did drop the name of his glorious leader - Hadron. |
| 437 | * PraetorianGuard: He is the captain of the Order's Imperial Vanguard, supposedly the most elite squadron of the Order. Sure enough, all Tyrants are the most powerful main game enemies. |
| 438 | * SuperPrototype: Non-robotic example. Tyrant 1.0 is the first survivor of Nightmare program that converts survivors into obedient fanatic warriors and he is outfitted with more powerful equipment than other Order units. Downplayed when in comparison to other Tyrants, as 2.0 and 3.0 models are much more powerful. |
| 439 | * VillainTeleportation: Starting from 2.0 model, Tyrant can switch places with one of Order Inquisitors to suddenly appear further down the path. |
| 440 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Even more so than other Order units, since Tyrants are the most dangerous MiniBoss units. 3.0 takes it up to ten, since eleven is occupied by BigBad himself. |
| 441 | |

| 445 | A tyrannical leader of the Order, seeking to spread his domination to the whole world. Is a boss of Order Base and FinalBoss of the game as a whole. [[SelfDemonstrating/{{Hadron}} Now with the self-demonstrating variation! ]] |
| 446 | ---- |
| 447 | * AirborneMook: He's the first and only flying boss in the entirety of Ironhide Games' tower defense games. |
| 448 | * ArmoredCoffins: His mecha, for all its offensive capabilities, lacks an eject function, so when the mecha begins to break down from sustained damage, it explodes with Hadron still inside, obliterating him and ending his reign for good. |
| 449 | * AntiStructure: He can shoot out lighting both in his normal and mecha forms to temporarily stun towers. |
| 450 | * BadassCape: A bright red one that covers his entire body. His mecha keeps it. |
| 451 | * BigBad: As a leader of the Order, he wants nothing more than spreading his totalitaristic regime across the globe. He is also responsible for ordering abduction of people to turn them into more soldiers, experimentation that resulted in the creation of many mutants and is indirect reason behind Mad Esper's actions and the current state of Psychopolis due to creating him as part of psychokinesis experiments. |
| 452 | * BreakingOldTrends: He is the first, and only so far, ''flying boss'', something never seen before in any Ironhide TowerDefense game, ''absolutely'' necessitating the use of towers and tactics that can hit flying enemies. If Esper before him could be countered by ground units due to simply levitating above ground, Hadron cannot be attacked by them. He still attacks them to allow other enemies pass through, however. |
| 453 | * CallBack: His tower-stunning attack is very similar to Vez'Nan, final boss of ''VideoGame/KingdomRush'' who used red bursts from the staff to strike towers from above and temporarily remove them out of combat if they're not tapped. Hadron can do the same by striking them with bursts of red lightning. Both even use this ability before and after they personally step into the battlefield. |
| 454 | * EvilGenius: Even though he has his scientists, considering his entire army is brainwashed survivors, he had made the mind control technology himself, as well as came up with teleportation, electrical destabilizer, laser weaponry, cyborg creation and many other things. |
| 455 | * FatalFlaw: Pride. Despite being an EvilGenius, he is so sure of his ultimate victory just because everything has been going according to plan so far that he doesn't take immediate actions to deal with Scavenger threat. He only sends rank-and-file troops into the Swamp, sure that the mutants and this battalion will be enough to take them down and doesn't send his strongest troops to take down Mad Esper despite him taking control of Hadron's troops and threatening to take down the Order. When he confronts Scavengers personally, his mecha doesn't even have an ejection function as he is sure that him finally intervening will put an end to resistance. Sure enough, this ends up sealing his doom when the mecha explodes from sustained damage with him unable to get out, killing him. |
| 456 | * FinalBoss: He is the last thing standing between Scavengers and the freedom from the Order, as well as main antagonist. |
| 457 | * FinalExamBoss: He combines multiple nasty traits of strong enemies. He has a ton of hp, is flying, limiting the things that can hit him, has multiple long range attacks in form of crowd-hitting or single-target laser beams, teleportation, tower-stunning attack and, on top of it all, MookMaker capabilities, since he summons Order Juggernauts through the teleporters. Needless to say, it works for a frantic FinalBattle and puts every skill to the test. |
| 458 | * HumongousMecha: As he gets fed up with Scavengers, he summons his gigantic mecha armour as a Trump card. Cue frantic FinalBoss battle. |
| 459 | * IAmTheNoun: Just before stepping into the fray himself, he proclaims: "[[LargeHam I AM THE ORDER]]!". Doubles as a PreAssKickingOneLiner. |
| 460 | * KarmicDeath: As an oppressor whose army struck fear into anyone who tried to resist and made them feel utterly helpless, he gets defeated by a force that proves to be stronger than his army and, judging by the sounds his mecha makes, spends his final moments struck by fear as he is helpless to escape his exploding mecha, screaming as it blows up taking him with it. |
| 461 | * KnightOfCerebus: He is the darkest villain of the game and probably the whole series of games made by Ironhide, as he is responsible for many inhumane and truly horrific events that take place during and before the game, is doing what he does just because he can and, unlike other villains, has absolutely no comedic moments or ShoutOut phrases to spout. |
| 462 | * MadScientist: Since his army is entirely mind-controlled survivors, including scientists, he is the overarching mastermind behind many inhumane experiments and inventions of war. |
| 463 | * MindControl: One of his most prominent technologies and the crux of his plan, he uses it to brainwash captured survivors to turn them into fanatical soldiers. |
| 464 | * MookMaker: Not only does he summon enemies through teleporters, but he also summons Order Juggernauts to aid him in battle. |
| 465 | * NazisByAnyOtherName: He is oppressive, totalitaristic leader who controls his own troops with iron fist and has them gain a fanatical devotion to him and his cause, considers himself superior and wants to spread his rule across the entire world. He even looks the part, visually looking like a cross between Darth Vader and Nazi General in a gas mask. |
| 466 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: He doesn't personally intervene in fight with the Scavengers until the final level, instead sending his troops to try and deal with them. Somewhat justified since he is sure that his army will be victorious because it has been so far. |
| 467 | * ProactiveBoss: Even before he personally steps down into the fray in his mecha, he occasionally stuns towers by striking them with electricity. |
| 468 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Like all Order members, his armor has glowing red eyes and he's a dangerous and powerful BigBad and KnightOfCerebus. |
| 469 | * RockBeatsLaser: His high-tech armor is ultimately done in by the scavengers' lower-tech, mostly-cobbled-together stuff. |
| 470 | * WeaponizedTeleportation: His mecha can teleport. Previously, it was used as a retreat tactic that coincided with the summoning of more Order units. After an update, he instead teleports ''forward'', skipping big chunks of the defense the player may have and catching him off-guard. |

| 478 | * FlunkyBoss: Second form onwards he can summon Mechanychts, Kritts in gigantic mechanical suits. |
| 479 | * MixAndMatchCritters: Part [[RatMen Kritt]], part-[[BatOutOfHell Nycht]], giving him both the humanoid rat body of the former and the flight of the latter. |
| 480 | * PhysicalMysticalTechnological: He ends up becoming all three at once, initially starting out as a physical/technological bruiser with cybernetic fist/arm cannons, gains the ability to summon mechs in his second appearance, and gains an ability to convert himself into a shadowy fog to kill your troops in his third. |
| 481 | * StanceSystem: His unique ability, courtesy of being a creature of two breeds, is alternating between flying and walking depending on health, changing how he attacks and what towers can target him. |

| 488 | [[caption-width-right:300:Brella, Queen of Nychts.]] |
| 489 | A couple of a gigantic Kritt and Nycht, aiming to overtake the surface with their army. |
| 490 | ---- |
| 491 | * ArcVillain: Of Underground chapter. |
| 492 | * BattleCouple: A married couple of a rat and bat that can take down scores of Scavenger by themselves and even more together. |
| 493 | * BigBadDuumvirate: They both play a main role in the attempted conquest of surface world and attack on Scavengers, leading their respective races. |
| 494 | * BreakingOldTrends: If Hadron was the first flying boss, this murderous couple is the first DualBoss in the game[[note]]but not among all of Ironhide's TowerDefense games-- that goes to ancient ghosts Tristan and Umber from ''Kingdom Rush: Vengeance''[[/note]]. Lampshaded by Connor, who quips that the devs have gone insane with introduction of two bosses at once. |
| 495 | * DemBones: Dreadfur is resurrected as a skeleton by his wife at the start of phase 2. |
| 496 | * DualBoss: This is how their phase 2 plays out. After Dreadfur dies for the first time, Brella steps into the battlefield herself and resurrects her husband as an undead skeleton, both fighting at the same time. |
| 497 | * FlunkyBoss: During both phases, they're accompanied by Whiskeletons that occasionally pop out of the graveyard. Come phase 2, both bosses can create them from thin air or your fallen units. |
| 498 | * GatlingGood: Dreadfur has gigantic gatling guns which he uses to bombard Scavengers with barrages of spiked balls. |
| 499 | * InterspeciesRomance: They are a husband and wife, with him being a gigantic rat and her being a gigantic bat lady. |
| 500 | * MightyGlacier: Dreadfur is slow, but his melee attack evaporates anyone in the area and his ranged attack is an absolute barrage of spiked balls that hit hard. Becomes amplified in phase 2 as he slows down even more, but his attacks gain addictional effects. |
| 501 | * MusicalAssassin: Brella fights by conjuring magical drums and damaging all Scavengers in an area. She can also strike an axe guitar to heal her allies. |
| 502 | * {{Necromancer}}: Brella can raise your fallen warriors as undead Whiskeletons. She also resurrects her fallen husband as a gigantic skeleton for phase 2. |
| 503 | * PhysicalMysticalTechnological: Dreadfur is both the Physical and Technological, being a burly bruiser with powerful ArmCannon enhancements, while Brella is the Mystical, being a necromancer who even resurrects her husband. |
| 504 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Both Monarchs have purple details in their appearance and are a powerful DualBoss. |
| 505 | * UglyGuyHotWife: Dreadfur is a rat person that leans more to the rat side, while Brella is a more humanoid and curvy bat lady. They love each other regardless. |
| 506 | * UnholyMatrimony: A giant RatMen BloodKnight and a humanoid vampire LadyOfWar that want to take over the surface. Truly a match made in hell. |

| 510 | !!Connor |
| 511 | A recurring Misfit with a cone for a head. He knows about the world so much more than anyone else does, he might as well be resident Deadpool. |
| 512 | ---- |
| 513 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: He is never seen without a cone on his head, can withstand extreme cold with nothing but cone and pants on and possess extreme fourth-wall breaking knowledge about the nature of the universe, as well as awareness of his own traits such as ResurrectiveImmortality. And if the first two traits can be attributed to radiation repercussions, the latter part is never explained. |
| 514 | * AudienceWhatAudience: Tends to invoke this reaction from other characters. When he says after the first level ends that it would be a boring game with just one level, whatever hero is currently selected is so buffled he can't respond with anything more than FlatWhat. |
| 515 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: More like obliterating it, this is his most definitive trait. He speaks about in-game events not as in-universe events, but game aspects and sometimes casually mentioning the developers doing something. At one point he suggests using a Fire Trucker against vehicle enemies. Why? ''Because he read it on wiki! ''(Fun fact: as of writing this, no wiki actually exists, so thanks for the tip, Connor. )) |
| 516 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Even forgoing his fourth wall breaking tendencies, Connor is a weird fellow. He thinks a cone as a hat is a good fashion, forgoes using more practical weaponry for using a stop sign and keeps around a mutant thesaurus for no apparent reason. Then again, the Misfits description did say they are out of their minds a bit. |
| 517 | * HeKnowsAboutTimedHits: Part of his routine is explaining game mechanics, speaking about levels having always having 3 waves (which later turns out to be BlatantLies), calling Junkers 'tutorial enemies' and sometimes saying that the developers implemented the tower as a counter to an enemy. |
| 518 | * ImprovisedWeapon: A stop sign, to be exact. |
