| 5 | [[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lufiai_hero_transparent.png]] |
| 6 | ---- |
| 7 | %%* GenreSavvy: Enough to avoid some IdiotHero moments. |
| 8 | * HelloInsertNameHere: Starting the trend in this series. |
| 9 | * HeroicLineage: A direct descendant of Maxim. |
| 10 | * JackOfAllStats: He's good all-around, but others beat him to everything. |
| 11 | * MagicKnight: Can cast healing magic up to the strongest tier while dishing out enough damage with his sword. |
| 12 | * NoNameGiven: He still doesn't have an official name. |
| 13 | * StayInTheKitchen: Has a shred of it, though not as bad as Maxim. He tried to leave for adventuring without telling Lufia so she wouldn't be in harm. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | !!Lufia |
| 16 | |
| 17 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lufiai_lufia_transparent.png]] |
| 18 | ---- |
| 19 | * AmnesiacDissonance: Hey Lufia, guess what? [[spoiler: You're Erim, the Sinistral of Death!]] Have fun with that. |
| 20 | * ClingyJealousGirl: She does NOT like any other female characters getting near the hero. Jerin becomes her usual target. |
| 21 | * ElementalPowers: As one of the mages, she can learn some of elemental spells including: |
| 22 | ** MakingASplash: Her water-elemental spells hit a group of enemies. |
| 23 | ** ShockAndAwe: She's the one learning most of the thunder spells, which are the main weakpoint of Gades, Amon and Daos. [[spoiler: Sadly, we don't get to use to take that advantage until Guard Daos fight.]] |
| 24 | * GenerationXerox: Strangely enough, [[spoiler: she "dies" in a very similar pose to Selan at similar place]]. Both being token love interests. |
| 25 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "Priphea Flowers". |
| 26 | |
| 27 | !!Aguro |
| 28 | [[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lufiai_aguro_transparent.png]] |
| 29 | ---- |
| 30 | * BadassNormal: He never learns magic, but his attack power is great. |
| 31 | * TheLancer / TheBigGuy: Fulfills the same archetype as Guy did in the prequel, especially gameplay-wise. |
| 32 | * MightyGlacier: ''The'' slowest party member in the game. He also has the best physical attack and defense in the game, although he can't take magic hits to save his life. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | !!Jerin |
| 35 | [[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lufiai_jerin_transparent.png]] |
| 36 | ---- |
| 37 | * AttackReflector: Her Mirror spells blocks attack magic but not healing spells. |
| 38 | * BrattyHalfPint: In Aguro's point of view anyway. |
| 39 | * ElementalPowers: Similarly to Lufia, she can learn elemental spells as she levels up. The elements, however, are different from Lufia's: |
| 40 | ** AnIcePerson: She learns an all-targetting ice spellset. |
| 41 | ** PlayingWithFire: Her fire spellset targets a group of enemies. |
| 42 | * GenkiGirl: Is a very energetic character, as a {{Foil}} to Lufia. |
| 43 | * HalfBreedDiscrimination: Gets some stick from the full elves for her non-elf parentage. |
| 44 | * HalfHumanHybrid: She's half-elf. |
| 45 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Being a half-elf, this is to be expected. She looks like 12 but was actually in her late 20s. |
| 46 | * TokenMiniMoe: Although she only fulfills this role by her physical appearance, as she may actually be the oldest character in the party. |

| 50 | !!Maxim |
| 51 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuuichiNakamura (Japanese, DS Game), Creator/ToddHaberkorn (English, DS Game) |
| 52 | |
| 53 | ->"Leave it to me!" |
| 54 | |
| 55 | The main character of the second game, he goes on an adventure that becomes part of the original game's history. He's one of the four heroes who battled on Doom Island. |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | * AnimeHair: His hair is much spikier in the remake, when compared to the somewhat normal-looking haircut he had in the original. |
| 58 | * AscendedExtra: Gets to star in his own game after only appearing in the prologue of ''Lufia & The Fortress of Doom''. |
| 59 | * BattleCouple: With Selan. |
| 60 | * BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: He and his party defeat the Sinistrals and save the world, but Selan is mortally wounded and Maxim is unable to escape the Sinistrals' fortress. |
| 61 | * CantDropTheHero: Though a few characters stick around for entire halves of a game at a time, Maxim is the only character who never leaves the party. Averted for a single boss battle in the original when the team has to defeat two enemies at the same time. He and Tia fight one while Guy and Selan fight the other. |
| 62 | * TheChosenOne: The exact nature of which is unclear given some of it comes from a source of exposition of, questionable source, but he is the one meant to oppose the Sinistrals. |
| 63 | * DashAttack: The remake allows him to do "Cross Dash" as his special attack to cross chasms and gaps. |
| 64 | * DoomedByCanon: Those that played both "Fortress of Doom" and the prequel "Rise of the Sinistrals/Curse of the Sinistrals" know that he isn't going to make it out of the game alive, given both he and Selan die in the prologue of the first game. |
| 65 | * DualWielding: Only in the prologue for ''Lufia & The Fortress of Doom'' is he depicted as wielding two swords. Averted for the actual prequel. |
| 66 | * GuileHero: He'll use deceit, and in some cases commit outright theft, in the name of completing his mission. |
| 67 | * HelloInsertNameHere: A somewhat odd example since the first game gives him CanonName, and the option to change his name comes in the second game, which is the prequel in timeline which means his CanonName came before the game people officially play with him as the main character. Averted in the DS game since everyone has a default name with voice acting. |
| 68 | * TheHero: Of the prologue of the original game and, by extension, the prequel. |
| 69 | * TheHeroDies: Dies after his final fight with the Sinistrals [[spoiler: after he destroys the cores to keep Doom Island from crashing into his home.]] |
| 70 | * HeroicSacrifice: With his wife dead, and the Doom Island on a crash course towards his home, and his son, [[spoiler: with advice from Iris/Erim, he uses the Dual Blade to convert his life force into energy to destroy the cores and reroute the island to the ocean, giving his life in the process.]] |
| 71 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: In ''Rise of the Sinistrals'', he (along with Selan) can equip a weapon called the [=SuhrCustom11=], which is a [[ProductPlacement real world brand guitar]]. None of the other translations mention a specific brand, so its name is just rendered as that language's word for "guitar". |
| 72 | * JackOfAllStats: Like his descendant in the sequel, he can either fulfill the role of an offensive character or a supportive character. |
| 73 | * MagicKnight: Can learn a much more varied array of spells when compared to his decendant from the sequel. |
| 74 | * ObliviousToLove: To Tia's love, anyway. |
| 75 | * PlayingWithFire: In the DS version. Somewhat ironic since there's no one who can use fire element (aside from IP attacks) in his bloodline including himself. |
| 76 | * ShapingYourAttacks: In the remake, he can shape his attack into a firebird by pressing X button while holding R. |
| 77 | * SwordPlant: His double jump attack in the remake. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | !!Tia |
| 80 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkiToyosaki (Japanese, DS Game) |
| 81 | |
| 82 | ->"My name... Tia, like tear. Because of this, I was always teased and I was always crying." |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Maxim's childhood friend from [[FirstTown Elcid]]. She runs a weapon shop, but decides to accompany Maxim on his adventure. She doesn't like Maxim's dangerous lifestyle. She's one of the characters who doesn't go to Doom Island in the original. |
| 85 | ---- |
| 86 | * AdaptationDyeJob: ''Curse of the Sinistrals'' gives her ginger hair instead of blue like in the original. |
| 87 | * BetaCouple: In the remake with [[spoiler:Dekar]], along with Guy and Jessy. |
| 88 | * {{Expy}}: Her re-design and new weapons in ''Curse of the Sinistrals'' make her something of a [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Lucca]][[{{Pun}} -like]]. |
| 89 | * GenkiGirl: What she becomes in the DS remake. |
| 90 | * GlassCannon: She trades her squishiness from the original game for this in the remake; She can dish out big damage but has the lowest [=HP=] and defense stats growth. |
| 91 | * GogglesDoNothing: Her new design in the remake seems to indicate this. |
| 92 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: While her frying pans and whips make sense in the original, her new playstyle in remake uses a big suitcase that contains a spring-attached boxing glove, a hookshot, a chainsaw and a drill. |
| 93 | * LethalChef: Dialogue with a chef in Parcelyte implies that she's this. Not to mention the Phantom Fish incident very early in the game where presumably Maxim told Tia that the fish was terrible instead of the cooking; those who have played the first game know from NPC talk that Phantom Fish is supposed to be delicious. Or the fact that Albert in the remake gives Maxim a herb capable of making anything taste delicious to get through her cooking. The remake even makes this her title, dubbed "No Sense of Taste". |
| 94 | * LongRangeFighter: She's more capable in ''Curse of the Sinistrals'' as a range attacker. |
| 95 | * MakingASplash: The remake gives her default element water. |
| 96 | * RedHerring: Her character in the original game mimics Lufia concept-wise; Blue-haired girl, childhood friend who has a crush on the hero, tagging along out of worry and a mage-type party member with horrible HP and defense combat-wise. This is seemingly to make players suspect her as [[spoiler:early incarnation of Erim]]. While Lufia's proven to be important to the plot later [[spoiler:as Erim]], Tia isn't. She leaves the party after the first half of the game. |
| 97 | * {{Shorttank}}: She's redesigned to be like this in the DS version, which helps her stand out from Selan more. |
| 98 | * SquishyWizard: In the original version, she's a spellcaster with horrible [=HP=] and defense. |
| 99 | * TryingNotToCry[=/=]UnableToCry: She forced herself to never cry again, so that she can no longer cry. [[spoiler: During the ending, she's able to cry once more. The remake makes her crying scene earlier; The moment Dekar was replaced her with himself to be transferred into another dimension.]] |
| 100 | %%* {{Tsundere}}: In the DS version. |
| 101 | * UnluckyChildhoodFriend: She is in love with Maxim, but he ends up falling in love at first sight with Selan with whom he later marries and has a child with. To top it off he doesn't seem to notice her feelings. [[spoiler:She lucks into Dekar in the remake]]. |
| 102 | |
| 103 | !!Guy |
| 104 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KentaMiyake (Japanese, DS Game) |
| 105 | |
| 106 | ->"Hey Maxim! Are you ready to have a little match?" |
| 107 | |
| 108 | A warrior from Tanbel (or Parcelyte, depending on the game), he's engaged and has a sister, but finds himself fighting monsters more than spending time with his loved ones. That's when he meets Maxim and joins him on the quest. He's one of the four heroes who battled on Doom Island. The man lived for all the years between ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' and ''Lufia & The Fortress of Doom''. |
| 109 | ---- |
| 110 | * AscendedExtra: He goes from being an elderly NPC in the original, to being a main playable character in the second game that takes place in his past. Not counting his ATasteOfPower bit toward the start. |
| 111 | * BadassNormal: He never learns magic, but he is quite powerful. |
| 112 | * TheBigGuy: In the DS version, he was redesigned to be much taller and muscular than the rest of the party. |
| 113 | %%* BoisterousBruiser: A little bit. More so in ''Curse of the Sinistrals''. |
| 114 | * CallingYourAttacks: Shouts "Volcanic Impact!" in the remake half the time he performs the move. |
| 115 | * MadeOfIron: Can become this so explosions do no damage to him in ''Curse of the Sinistrals''. |
| 116 | * MightyGlacier: Is stronger than Maxim, but slower. |
| 117 | * ShockAndAwe: Thanks to the DS game's combat system, he can cast magic (though you won't be using him for that). His element is thunder. |
| 118 | * TornadoMove: His "Hurricane Hammer" in the remake. |
| 119 | |
| 120 | !!Selan |
| 121 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarinaInoue (Japanese, DS Game), Creator/CaitlinGlass (English, DS Game) |
| 122 | |
| 123 | ->"We've finally done it, Maxim. Now... the world will be at peace once more." |
| 124 | |
| 125 | The commander of the Parcelyte army with magic capabilities. When Maxim's party shows up, she's ordered to team up with Maxim. Over time, she grows to love Maxim, and the two wed. She's one of the four heroes who battled on Doom Island. |
| 126 | ---- |
| 127 | * ActionMom: After marrying Maxim and giving birth to Jeros, her status upgrades into this. |
| 128 | * AnIcePerson: In the remake. |
| 129 | * BattleCouple: With Maxim. |
| 130 | * BrokenBird: DS version, due to the death of her ex-boyfriend. |
| 131 | * DefrostingIceQueen: She starts out colder towards Maxim, but over time after seeing him as a good man, she warms up to him, ultimately falling in love with him and becoming his wife. |
| 132 | * DoomedByCanon: Those that played both ''Lufia & The Fortress of Doom'' and the prequel ''Rise of the Sinistrals/Curse of the Sinistrals'' know that she isn't going to make it out of the game alive, given both she and Maxim die in the prologue of the first game. |
| 133 | * HeroicSacrifice: In ''Curse of the Sinistrals'' she survives her wounds [[spoiler: at least long enough to lend her life force and wield the Dual Blade alongside Maxim, and destroy the fortress' cores, dying somewhat happily in her husband's embrace, knowing she did her part to save her son, her town and the world.]] |
| 134 | * AnIcePerson: In the DS version. |
| 135 | * LethalChef: Whether she's worse than Tia or not is debatable. Selan deep fries a jelly in an olive oil, a concept mocked by the same Parcelyte chef who picks on Tia in the first half of the game. The remake confirms the terrible taste by Guy tasting it. |
| 136 | * MagicKnight: This stays true even in DS remake. She's Parcelyte army's captain and the strongest warrior of the bunch. One cutscene during Maxim and Selan's happy wedding life montage shows she can go toe-to-toe with Maxim. |
| 137 | * PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Her chakrams will always get back when she throws it. |
| 138 | * RingsOfDeath: Her weapon in the remake. |
| 139 | |
| 140 | !!Dekar |
| 141 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeNamikawa (Japanese, DS Game) |
| 142 | |
| 143 | ->"Have no fear, Dekar is here!" |
| 144 | |
| 145 | A very strong warrior from the Bound Kingdom, though he lacks intelligence. He meets Maxim and the others and eventually joins them on their quest to defeat Gades. He is one of the characters who doesn't go to Doom Island. |
| 146 | ---- |
| 147 | * AdaptationDyeJob: His hair is blue in the original, and then changed into pink in the remake. |
| 148 | * AnimeHair: Likely the most noticeable case of this, at least in the SNES version. |
| 149 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Rare heroic example that doesn't grow out of it. When presented with question of if he's the strongest warrior in the Bound Kingdom, he boasts he's the strongest warrior ''anywhere'', and still believes that by the end of the game, seeing Maxim as a close second. |
| 150 | * BadassNormal: In the SNES version, he never learns magic, just like Guy. |
| 151 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 152 | ** At the end of the game, he comes from nowhere to defeat some monsters that were keeping Maxim's party from going to Doom Island, all better from his HeroicSacrifice. |
| 153 | ** In the DS version, he appears from nowhere to get rid of a boss for you. |
| 154 | * TheBigGuy: In either version of the game. |
| 155 | %%* BoisterousBruiser |
| 156 | * CatchPhrase: In the DS version. |
| 157 | -->'''Dekar:''' The other thing/second thing I'm best at is ''(relevant action)''. |
| 158 | * CutscenePowerToTheMax: In gameplay terms, he is the slowest character in the game, but if went by what you see him do outside of battle, you'd assume he's the fastest. |
| 159 | * DumbMuscle: Emphasis on the dumb and muscle, his response to Idura saying he was sent by "a certain someone" is saying he was sent by someone who doesn't have a name, and then proceeding to effortlessly defeat the monsters he brought. He also goes and falls into every trap Idura sets for him, but always breaks out through sheer brute force. |
| 160 | * GeniusDitz: Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he knows a lot about fighting (enough to teach his prince), and even [[spoiler: cheers Tia up]]. |
| 161 | * GiverOfLameNames: He takes this duty in the remake instead of Guy during one scene in Gratze. Unlike Guy who only gets Selan's name lame, he gets ''everybody but himself'' lame. |
| 162 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: He gets better.]] |
| 163 | * JackOfAllStats: In the DS version, while he has no element associated to him or special attack, he can equip any weapon in the game, aside from the "Dual Blade". |
| 164 | * {{Leitmotif}}: A heroic tune titled "The Strongest Man", appropriately enough; it plays whenever Dekar makes a big appearance, whether it's in the original or in the remake. |
| 165 | * MadeOfExplodium: Whatever sword he wields to fend monsters off as Maxim and his party set course for Doom Island. Either that, or his sword is so powerful that it makes enemies explode upon contact. Either way, it's enough to make some of the monsters run for the hills. This ability is actualized in the remake as one of his special attacks. |
| 166 | * MasterOfNone: In Curse of the Sinistrals, he lacks a unique ability like the other characters, and instead is able to use any weapon except the Dual Blade. |
| 167 | * MightyGlacier: A more extreme case than Guy in the original. He's got the highest physical damage and the lowest speed. |
| 168 | * RealMenWearPink: Or rather have their hair colored pink. In the DS version. |
| 169 | * ShockwaveStomp: In the remake, he can create some kind of explosive shockwave using his fist. |
| 170 | * TooDumbToLive: He would be if for not the fact that he can brute force his way through anything. |
| 171 | * WorldsBestWarrior: Certainly believes himself to be this, though to be fair, his claims ''do'' have some credibility. |
| 172 | |
| 173 | !!Lexis Shaia |
| 174 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenichiOgata (Japanese, DS Game) |
| 175 | |
| 176 | ->"I get it! So that's how it works!" |
| 177 | |
| 178 | A scientist from Treadool. He meets Maxim and friends and discovers how strong they are. He travels with the party for a short time, even providing a ship for them, but he eventually leaves to work in a laboratory with other scientists. While he does not go to Doom Island or battle directly for the rest of the game, he continues to make upgrades to your ship. In ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', he's around for much more of the game, but never playable. |
| 179 | ---- |
| 180 | * ContinuityNod: The scientist family in ''VideoGame/LufiaAndTheFortressOfDoom'' descend from Lexis, as does Raile (non-playable) and Isaac in ''VideoGame/LufiaTheLegendReturns''. |
| 181 | * DemotedToExtra: In the DS version, while still important in the story, he is not playable. |
| 182 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Doctor Emmett Brown]] in the DS version. |
| 183 | * GadgeteerGenius: He's the first one making a flying ship both in the original and remake, something exclusive to his family. |
| 184 | * GogglesDoNothing: DS remake gives this in his artwork. |
| 185 | * MadScientist: Moreso in the DS version, where he, among other things, makes a ''landship'' just because. |
| 186 | * MagicKnight: A slightly deviated variant; His [=INT=] can be the biggest in the game but he has a very limited weapon and armor selection, most prevalent in Ancient Cave runs. |
| 187 | %%%* TheSmartGuy: During his time on your team in the SNES version. Just look at his [=INT=] stat in gameplay. |
| 188 | * WrenchWhack: In the SNES version of the game, he equips wrenches. His battle sprite even depicts him with one. |
| 189 | |
| 190 | !!Artea/Arty |
| 191 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SusumuChiba (Japanese, DS Game) |
| 192 | |
| 193 | ->"The worst thing you can do is lie to yourself." |
| 194 | |
| 195 | An elf from the village of Eserikto. He first appears on the Mountain of No Return to find Milka, one of his elf friends. He meets Maxim's party on the process and decides to join them in order to track down the Sinistral of Chaos, Amon. He is one of the four heroes who goes to Doom Island to do battle with the Sinistrals. In the original game, he is still alive and well, albeit blind from the Battle of Doom Island. |
| 196 | ---- |
| 197 | * AmbiguousGender: People weren't quite sure what to make of Arty, including the German translators, who made him a girl. The DS version thankfully makes it clear he's a male. |
| 198 | * AscendedExtra: Just like Guy's case, though he was still a bit more important than Guy in ''Lufia and the Fortress of Doom''. |
| 199 | * BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Took damage to [[EyeScream his eyes]] during the fight with the Sinistrals, which eventually rendered him blind. |
| 200 | * CharacterExaggeration: Noticeably averted, this time. He's the only one of the four who is just as formal all the time as he appeared in the original game. |
| 201 | * {{Elfeminate}}: May be this, if the gender ambiguous artwork is an accurate portrayal. |
| 202 | * {{Gunslinger}}: In the DS version. |
| 203 | * HomingProjectile: His special attack can target enemies and switches unreachable by normal attack in DS version. |
| 204 | * InconsistentDub: He's called "Artea" in ''Lufia I'' and ''II'', "Arty" in the menu screen of ''Lufia II'', and "Artia" in the epilogue of ''The Legend Returns'', said by Milka before going to Estoland. |
| 205 | * JustFriends: He and Karyn are this. |
| 206 | * LightEmUp: The only playable character in SNES version to be able to cast light magic. In DS version, this becomes his default element. |
| 207 | * MageMarksman: Of "arcane archer" variety in the original. Depending on equipment, you can also make him a "magic gunman" variety of this trope in the remake. |
| 208 | * NotQuiteFlight: His special double-jump command in DS version is this, as he said. It's more like "gliding" than "flying" because he needs a mini tornado to increase altitude. |
| 209 | * RayGun: His guns in the remake shoot energy-based projectiles, which justifies their BottomlessMagazines nature. |
| 210 | * Really700YearsOld: He looks the same in the original game, 100 years after the Battle of Doom Island. It's unknown how old he is in ''Lufia II'', so he could be 700 in that game too. |
| 211 | * [[ShesAManInJapan He's a Woman in Germany]] |
| 212 | * TheSixthRanger: The game's intro shows all the heroes in the order you meet them, and he's the very last one. |
| 213 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: You find his apprentice in a dungeon in the first game, and they help direct you to Artea's location. Artea never even mentions him. |
| 214 | |
| 215 | !!Capsule Monsters |
| 216 | |
| 217 | The various monsters that you find throughout the game that are willing to fight for you. |
| 218 | ---- |
| 219 | * TheBerserker: Cannot be controlled manually in battle. |
| 220 | * CowardlyLion: They have a tendency to flee from battle, usually after taking a hit. However, the more evolved they are, the lower their chances of fleeing are, maxing out at a 0% chance after evolving into their master form. |
| 221 | * DubNameChange: The Foomy line of Capsule Monsters were all renamed to Mousse in ''The Ruins of Lore''. [[OneSteveLimit Not to be confused]] with Mousse from ''The Legend Returns'', which is also a Capsule Monster. |
| 222 | * ElementalRockPaperScissors: Each one has a different element, and would be recommended against enemies of the opposite element. This also applies to their food of choice in changing into master form except Jelze which is neutral. |
| 223 | * {{Leitmotif}}: The areas they're found in have a unique theme associated with them, titled "Capsule Monster". |
| 224 | * MagikarpPower: They're useless unless you train them and feed them with items, weapons, and special fruits to reach their master forms. |
| 225 | * MetamorphosisMonster: |
| 226 | ** Their "evolution" stages take the form of mostly completely different beings. Take Sully the earth monster, for example: It goes from a radish to a mini knight, then to a giant face statue, and its master form is a centaur. |
| 227 | ** The Foomy line of monsters presents a variation of this, combined with BishonenLine. Each stage is just a slightly bigger and more humanoid version of the previous one, right up until their Master form, which takes the form of a golden nine-tailed fox instead. |
| 228 | * MonsterAllies: Even though they are called monsters, they help you in combat. |
| 229 | * RememberTheNewGuy: They are introduced in ''Lufia II''. In ''Lufia and the Fortress of Doom'', Maxim's party doesn't have any Capsule Monster following them around, and there aren't any of them in the main story. |

| 232 | [[folder: ''The Legend Returns'' Heroes]] |
| 233 | !!Wain |
| 234 | |
| 235 | The main protagonist. Possesses Red Spiritual Force. |
| 236 | ---- |
| 237 | * BerserkButton: Being called stupid ticks him off, and even makes him cry sometimes. |
| 238 | %%* CallToAdventure |
| 239 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: He quickly enters a burning house to save a little girl as soon as he hears cries for help. |
| 240 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: His stupidity is reflected in his magic stats and spellset selection. |
| 241 | * GoodCannotComprehendEvil: In addition to being SarcasmBlind, he is surprised to see the [[EvilIsPetty Sinistrals bothered by petty insults]], thinking that a god would be above that. |
| 242 | * HeroesPreferSwords: Continuing the tradition. Justified since [[SwordOfPlotAdvancement Dual Blade]] ''is'' a sword. During later Sinistral battles, even if you don't have it equipped, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation a cutscene will always show him equipping it anyway]]. |
| 243 | %%* HotBlooded |
| 244 | * IdiotHero: Is often mocked by his teammates and everyone else who meets him for the first time. |
| 245 | * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: He tried to do this to [[spoiler:Seena after she got merged with Zalbak. Too bad fighting is the only option]]. |
| 246 | * MagicKnight: He can use several healing spells and [[AnIcePerson ice elemental magic]], but his magic stats are comparably poorer than his ancestors' and other party members', to emphasize his stupidity. |
| 247 | * RunningGag: Many of the people who meet him for the first time say he's stupid, at least during the first half of the game anyway. |
| 248 | * SuperToughness: He has the highest base defense and can equip the heaviest armor. |
| 249 | * SarcasmBlind: He didn't know Gades was mocking him before battle, and other teammates had to point it out. |
| 250 | |
| 251 | !!Seena[[spoiler:/Erim]] |
| 252 | |
| 253 | A travelling fortune teller. Possesses Blue Spiritual Force. |
| 254 | ---- |
| 255 | * ChekhovsSkill: Her 100% correct prediction ability. [[spoiler:She predicts herself to come back from the dead after the epilogue.]] |
| 256 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: Is willing to help solve any problems available before even considering going after the Sinistrals themselves. [[spoiler:[[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since this usually results in someone joining the party, thus making it easier to achieve her goal of [[DeathSeeker wiping out the Sinistrals forever]].]] |
| 257 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
| 258 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Openly calls [[PhysicalGod Gades]] stupid after the latter shows off his destructive capabilities to her and Wain. [[JustifiedTrope Granted, doing so nearly caused the building they were in to come crashing down on their heads.]] |
| 259 | * ElementalPowers: Although her spell selection is more limited compared to Lufia and Selan in the previous games, she can still learn multiple elemental spellsets. |
| 260 | ** PlayingWithFire |
| 261 | ** ShockAndAwe |
| 262 | ** LightEmUp: Via "Light" spell alone. |
| 263 | * FortuneTeller: She claims to be a good one [[spoiler:although in the end, she admitted she's not that good, considering she's Erim and all..]]. |
| 264 | %%* TheLancer |
| 265 | * SoLongAndThanksForAllTheGear: Similarly to Lufia, she becomes unavailable after a certain point in the lategame. [[spoiler:Unlike Lufia though, she doesn't return for the FinalBoss, so you're not getting back any item you've equipped her with anytime soon after you defeat Guard Daos, the last battle she's usable.]] |
| 266 | * TheMedic: Especially in the early game, though she lacks the full-party heal Champion spells. |
| 267 | * MindOverMatter: Her artwork shows that she's capable of making her Crystal Ball float. This is somehow not true gameplay-wise, since all the Crystal Ball weapon set does is increase her [=INT=] without increasing her attack power. |
| 268 | * TheMole: [[spoiler: Unlike Lufia, she realizes she's Erim in the first place.]] |
| 269 | * SquishyWizard: Is the most fragile female spellcaster in the party. |
| 270 | * WeaponizedBall: Her default weapon is a divination ball, and the Crystal Ball weapon set is exclusive to her. |
| 271 | |
| 272 | !!Dei |
| 273 | |
| 274 | A heroic thief from a small village. Possesses Yellow Spiritual Force. |
| 275 | ---- |
| 276 | * FragileSpeedster: Though his durability is only below average compared to the rest of the party. His ultimate armor somehow cripples his defense since it doesn't give addition to his already below average defense. |
| 277 | * GenreSavvy: He's the only one suspicious of food given by Leydock, thus escaped his trap. |
| 278 | * HighlyVisibleNinja: His outfit in his portrait and character art looks akin to ninja garb. |
| 279 | * TheJailBaitWait: He and one little girl in his town are serious about getting married when she's old enough. |
| 280 | * JustLikeRobinHood: His character arc before joining the party. |
| 281 | %%* TheLancer: When Seena's not around. |
| 282 | * ShockAndAwe: He can use several lightning spells. |
| 283 | %%* VideoGameStealing |
| 284 | |
| 285 | !!Aima |
| 286 | |
| 287 | A young monk studying under the Jigen-Ryu fighting school. Possesses Green Spiritual Force. |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Very hard to tell what race she's supposed to be, since her skin color varies from her official art and in-game portrait. |
| 290 | * BareFistedMonk: She comes equipped with only her fists, although she can also equip staves. |
| 291 | %%* HeirToTheDojo |
| 292 | * KiManipulation: Her martial-arts IP abilities, in the form of different types of energy blasts and punches. |
| 293 | * LightningBruiser: One of the fastest characters in the game by default, despite not possessing Yellow Spiritual Force. She can dish out a lot of pain very quickly with her bare fists. |
| 294 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: On Gades [[spoiler:upon her master's death]]. |
| 295 | * SecretArt: The final Jigen-Ryuu technique, Energy Punch, which only she can learn initially, long before Yurist joins. |
| 296 | |
| 297 | !!Randolph |
| 298 | |
| 299 | An elderly royal guard from Alstadt Kingdom. Possesses Red Spiritual Force. |
| 300 | ---- |
| 301 | * {{BFS}}: Randolph's specialty. |
| 302 | %%* CoolOldGuy |
| 303 | * GlassCannon: His two-handed weapons possess the highest attack of all weapons, though his extremely low HP is a definite drawback. |
| 304 | * MadeOfIron: He manages to keep a fight against a huge monster while ''still recovering from injury Seena just healed''. |
| 305 | * MightyGlacier: His two-handed weapons possess the highest attack of all weapons, though his extremely low speed is a definite drawback. |
| 306 | |
| 307 | !!Melphis |
| 308 | |
| 309 | The princess of Alstadt Kingdom. Possesses Blue Spiritual Force. |
| 310 | ---- |
| 311 | * AnIcePerson: Alongside her arrays of recovery and support spells, she learns ice magic up to the strongest tier. |
| 312 | * DamselInDistress: Trades herself to the pirate boss for her friends' safety, and you have to rescue her. Subverted, however, in that the whole party was distressed, and the only reason they were able to go after Melphis after she traded herself for their safety was because the villains had a serious IdiotBall moment and didn't think about ''closing the door they let their monster through'' after it went through. In addition, it's implied at any time after you meet up with her again that she could have [[LadyOfBlackMagic seriously kicked the pirate's ass,]] she was just swarmed by guards who would have likely killed her after the fact. |
| 313 | * DamselOutOfDistress: She survived an assassination attempt, was doing just fine surviving in the monster infested lighthouse on her own (In fact, it's her ''bodyguard'' who was heavily wounded and ready to kick the bucket when you first meet the duo), was able to cross the entire damn country with Randolph just fine (and given her magical skills and borderline passable physical strength, she likely pulled just as much of the weight), and she basically masterminds the effort to take her country back while ripping pirates to shreds with her ice magic. In fact, given how each character's stats raise, she'll eventually hit harder than ''Seena'', she'll just lack the versatility the latter mage has. |
| 314 | * TheMedic: One of party members whose main role is this. |
| 315 | * MightyGlacier: In terms of the three primary mages in the party, Melphis is the most defensively inclined and does the most damage, but her offensive options are limited and she's rather slow. That being said, if given the Cat Ring, [[LightningBruiser Melphis becomes something else entirely.]] |
| 316 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's a ''really'' good and loved Princess, and virtually no one who knows the truth wants to side against her. Her main reason for questing with the party to regain control of the throne is to protect her people. The people of Alstadt are in good hands. |
| 317 | * WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: In terms of offensive magic, she's really only got her ice magic and X-Absorb to deal significant damage. A late game item you have to really work for can give her competent levels of physical damage, but that's also around the time you can give [[LightningBruiser Aima]] and [[GlassCannon Randolph]] their best weapons too. That being said, if Melphis is fighting something that doesn't resist her ice magic, it tends to die. Quickly. |
| 318 | * WhiteMage: She is the best healer in the party, [[CombatMedic but her offensive magic is also the most powerful, at the cost of being the most limited.]] |
| 319 | |
| 320 | !!Mousse |
| 321 | |
| 322 | An animalistic spirit inhabiting Copley Forest. Possesses Green Spiritual Force. |
| 323 | ---- |
| 324 | * AttackAttackAttack: Its main method of attack is doing several different types of punches. |
| 325 | * TheBerserker: The only party member whom you cannot control directly [[spoiler:(barring the [[SecretCharacter Egg Dragon]])]]. |
| 326 | * {{Mon}}: Is actually a Capsule Monster, much like the ones in ''Lufia II'', although it can't evolve. |
| 327 | * PokemonSpeak: The only proper word it can say is its own name, "Mousse". |
| 328 | * SecretArt: "Tail Illusion", a very powerful attack it rarely may use instead of its regular punches. |
| 329 | * SnotBubble: When it's not punching things in battle, it's usually blowing snot bubbles at enemies. This actually reduces their DEF by a huge amount. |
| 330 | * TeamPet: A huge, fluffy, dog-like spirit that, once it joins the party, just sort of tags along with the rest of the group. |
| 331 | |
| 332 | !!Deckard |
| 333 | |
| 334 | A noble pirate that has more to him than meets the eye. Possesses Red Spiritual Force. |
| 335 | ---- |
| 336 | * CoolCrown: A hidden item exclusive to Deckard, foreshadowing that he's [[spoiler:the Prince of Alstadt]]. |
| 337 | * CutscenePowerToTheMax: During one cutscene, he's shown leaping several meters, ''from one ship to another'', like it's nothing. |
| 338 | * {{Expy}}: Fills a very similar role to that of Dekar, right down to the name, despite not being related. Both are considered very strong warriors with a dash of ego, and both [[DumbMuscle aren't exactly very bright]]. |
| 339 | * GuestStarPartyMember: He joins for a single boss battle before becoming a permanent party member. |
| 340 | %%* HotBlooded |
| 341 | %%* IdiotHero |
| 342 | * InsaneTrollLogic: His argument that anyone on a pirate ship ''must'' be a pirate. [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike Wain remarks that Deckard has a point.]] |
| 343 | * LightningBruiser: The fastest Red Spiritual Force character in the game. He can also learn a few IP attacks that utilize his Speed stat. |
| 344 | * {{Pirate}}: Of the Rogue variety. He's not afraid of fighting other pirates (or at least people he ''thinks'' are pirates) that he may deem as bad guys. |
| 345 | * ReluctantRuler: [[spoiler:As the prince of Alstadt Kingdom. He abandoned the kingdom years ago, since royalty wasn't fit for a guy like him. He also cast away his original name, deciding to go by the name "Deckard" instead.]] |
| 346 | |
| 347 | !!Ruby |
| 348 | |
| 349 | A gambler with a habit of cheating to win. Possesses Yellow Spiritual Force. |
| 350 | ---- |
| 351 | * CastFromHitPoints: Several of her gambling IP abilities consume HP. |
| 352 | * DeathOrGloryAttack: As her abilities are based on luck. Double Up in particular can inflict ''thousands'' of damage or zero damage. |
| 353 | * ElementalPowers: Despite her selection being limited to certain elements, she can learn a couple of spellsets. |
| 354 | ** AnIcePerson: Can learn up to the strongest ice spell. |
| 355 | ** PlayingWithFire: Also learns up to the strongest fire spell. |
| 356 | * FixedDamageAttack: Her Double Up IP, which does damage equal to her current IP percentage, doubled for each time the player successfully guesses whether a face-down card is lower or higher than the current card. |
| 357 | * TheGambler: She loves gambling. It's actualized in her battle style. |
| 358 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Throws cards. |
| 359 | * SquishyWizard: Has comparably lower [=HP=] than most other party members, and not particularly good defense. Good thing her "strongest weapon" is a dress with very high defense. |
| 360 | * WolverineClaws: Interestingly, one of her best weapons is a bloody manicure. |
| 361 | |
| 362 | !!Yurist |
| 363 | |
| 364 | A wandering poet, doctor, and warrior. Possesses Blue Spiritual Force. |
| 365 | ---- |
| 366 | * CombatMedic: Arguably his role. He has enough [=INT=] to cast healing spells (although a rather mediocre [=MP=] pool) but he can also attack some enemies using his rapiers and attack scrolls, making him really versatile. |
| 367 | * DudeLooksLikeALady: His portrait looks extremely feminine due to the art style. As such, he's the only male character who can use the [[LethalJokeItem Bunny equipment]]. |
| 368 | %%* HoYay: Was Jan really just his good friend? Yurist almost seems more sad at his death than Sammi, Jan's new bridge. |
| 369 | * JackOfAllStats: The most balanced example of the party. |
| 370 | * KiManipulation: He's the only party member other than Aima who can learn the martial-arts IP abilities. |
| 371 | * MagicMusic: His "Strongest Weapon" is a flute which can heal party members 1/3 of his current HP when used via the attack command. |
| 372 | * OneHitKill: He can learn the Perish and Destroy spells, for some reason. |
| 373 | * QuirkyBard: While he's not exactly a MasterOfNone, he joins the party after you've obtained enough party members to fill your entire formation and doesn't possess any unique abilities like Isaac, Milka, or [[spoiler:the Egg Dragon]] do. |
| 374 | |
| 375 | !!Isaac Shaia |
| 376 | |
| 377 | A descendant of the Shaia family. Possesses Yellow Spiritual Force. |
| 378 | ---- |
| 379 | * ElementalPowers: He can learn some elemental spells but not up to the strongest tier. |
| 380 | %%** AnIcePerson |
| 381 | %%** PlayingWithFire |
| 382 | %%** ShockAndAwe |
| 383 | * GadgeteerGenius: A common trait shared by those inheriting Shaia bloodline. |
| 384 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Mimicking Lexis' weapon selection. |
| 385 | * MagicKnight: Almost has the same build as his ancestor Lexis (highest raw intelligence, mediocre agility and decent [=MP=] pool). More notable is that his defense is much higher thanks to his strongest armor. |
| 386 | * PoweredArmor: His exclusive unlock from Parathea Shrine. It's far and away the strongest armor in the game. |
| 387 | [[/folder]] |
| 388 | |
| 389 | [[folder: ''The Ruins of Lore'' Heroes]] |
| 390 | !! Eldin |
| 391 | ---- |
| 392 | * HelloInsertNameHere: While his canon name is Eldin, there's nothing stopping you from giving him a different name. |
| 393 | * HeroesPreferSwords: His battle sprites always depict him with a sword in hand. His field ability is also to use a sword to cut down grass that you [[InsurmountableWaistHeightFence inexplicably cannot walk through]]. |
| 394 | * HeroicMime: "I'm Eldin!" is his only line other than (...) and (!). |
| 395 | * KidHero: While his exact age is unknown, he's certainly the youngest protagonist in all of the ''Lufia'' games by a long shot. |
| 396 | * PaletteSwap: You can choose the color of his clothes before you begin. |
| 397 | * SecretLegacy: [[spoiler:As a descendant of the people of Eristol, he's able to wield the power of the Beast, and as such absorbs the power of one half of it in order to combat Ragule]]. |
| 398 | |
| 399 | !! Torma |
| 400 | ---- |
| 401 | * DreadfulMusician: If his F grade in Music class found on his report cart is any indication. |
| 402 | * GrapplingHookPistol: His field ability functions similarly to the grappling hook in ''Rise of Sinistrals'', only a bit more limited. It can only grapple onto small wooden polls, and lacks the ability to stun enemies with its tip. |
| 403 | * HairTriggerTemper: Often blows up at small things happening. One time he gets angry enough to temporarily leave the party, having had enough of Cashwell's son asking them to do favors for him. |
| 404 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: He's been friends with Eldin since childhood. |
| 405 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Among his possible choice of equipment, he can use a ''fishing rod'' as a weapon. |
| 406 | * {{Tsundere}}: Towards Rami, being the primarily harsh one. |
| 407 | |
| 408 | !! Rami |
| 409 | ---- |
| 410 | * KillItWithFire: Her field ability is to set fire to things using a lighter. |
| 411 | * SquishyWizard: Has the smallest HP pool out of all party members. |
| 412 | * {{Tsundere}}: Towards Torma, being the primarily sweet one. |
| 413 | |
| 414 | !! Rubius |
| 415 | ---- |
| 416 | * BarrierMaiden: [[spoiler:Joins her sister Irmis in the ending, who's a BarrierMaiden of her own who's been sealing the Beast Half for who knows how long, in order to seal Goldiark once and for all]]. |
| 417 | * MysteriousWaif: She's a woman hailing from a village located high up in the mountains known for still worshipping the gods; she has a nebulous past, and is able to read ancient writing that comes up countless times during the adventure. She fulfills a similar role to Iris, in a sense. |
| 418 | * NonPlayerCompanion: She can be switched into outside of towns unlike Dekar below, but can't partake in combat. |
| 419 | * UtilityPartyMember: The first and ''only'' mainstay party member in the series to only be used for puzzle solving and not for combat. Her field ability is to decipher ancient writing. |
| 420 | |
| 421 | !! Bau |
| 422 | ---- |
| 423 | * BadassNormal: Gameplay-wise, at least. He's the only non-GuestStarPartyMember that can't make use of the game's JobSystem. Still doesn't mean he can't kick some serious ass, though. |
| 424 | * StoneWall: The bulkiest party member in the game, by far. |
| 425 | * TheExile: Banished from his home after becoming part-monster. |
| 426 | |
| 427 | !! Dekar |
| 428 | ---- |
| 429 | * AnimeHair: He may no longer have the [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic-like spikes]] in his sprites, but it's still some impressive looking hair. It also has some red streaks now. |
| 430 | * GuestStarPartyMember: Only joins the party temporarily, unfortunately. He can't even be switched into outside of towns, unlike Rubius. He'll leave the party as soon as you free the imprisoned Gruberik civilians during the Gratze revisit. |
| 431 | * MightyGlacier: By far the slowest character in the game in-battle, even more so than Bau. |
| 432 | * OlderThanTheyLook: He's several decades older in ''The Ruins of Lore'', yet he barely looks any older, aside from his hair AnimeHair going from purple to dark teal. |
| 433 | * RecurringCharacter: He's ''that'' Dekar from ''Lufia II''. |
| 434 | * SoLongAndThanksForAllTheGear: Anything you equip him with will stay with him when he leaves. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in that most of the weapons and armor he can equip are exclusive to him, but it'd still sting to have him part with an [[InfinityPlusOneSword Egg Ring]]. |
| 435 | [[/folder]] |
| 436 | |
| 437 | [[folder: Sinistrals]] |
| 438 | Four evil gods who wreck havoc on the world and act the series' main antagonists. |
| 439 | |
| 440 | !!Shared Tropes |
| 441 | |
| 442 | * BattleAura: Only in the first game's battle sprites, where they also cycle between two different main colors. Amon's shifts between green and blue, Daos' and Gades' auras shift between blue and white, and Erim's shifts between orange and yellow. Oddly enough, Guard Daos in the same game lacks such an aura, opting instead for a subtle PowerGlows for some of its features. |
| 443 | * JerkassGods: They are evil gods intent on dominating the world and they inflict various evils on mortals for little reason than because they can. |
| 444 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Without counting boss themes, each game they appear in gives them at least two themes associated with them as a group, one of which always has a variation of "Four Gods" as its name. ''The Legend Returns'' instead has two separate tracks given to different pairs of Sinistrals. |
| 445 | * MadGod: They are even called as such in the Japanese versions, as they are called as ''The Four Mad Gods'' (四狂神/Shikyoushin). |
| 446 | * PhysicalGod: They can all wipe out entire cities in the blink of an eye. |
| 447 | * PowerFloats: Only in ''The Legend Returns''. They spend most of their screen time in that game floating in the air, while they stay grounded in every other game. |
| 448 | |
| 449 | !!Gades, Sinistral of Destruction |
| 450 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi (Japanese, DS Game) |
| 451 | |
| 452 | Gades is the Sinistral of Destruction, and he is always the first one to make himself known to the world at large. |
| 453 | ---- |
| 454 | * TheBattleDidntCount: If you ever beat him when you were supposed to lose to him, except in the first game where beating can only be done with a Game Genie code, and doing so causes the game to crash because the game is only programmed to continue if you lose. |
| 455 | * {{BFS}}: Is depicted as carrying one each game after his first appearance. He kinda had one there but in that the most prominent feature of his combat sprite was his giant shield. |
| 456 | %%* BlackKnight |
| 457 | * BloodKnight: By the end of ''Curse of the Sinistrals'' he looks forward to fighting you, so that he may have a good fight. |
| 458 | * TheBrute: He fights you more than any of the other Sinistrals. |
| 459 | %%* EvilRedhead |
| 460 | * {{Flanderization}}: By the time of ''The Legend Returns'', he acts more like an idiot who roams around destroying places and even his own throne for no reason, for the sake of his desire for [[BlindIdiotTranslation "frue destruction"]]. |
| 461 | * HopelessBossFight: Once per game you have boss fights with him that you are supposed to lose. In the original game, when you fight after the prologue, with how early it is in the game and you only having one character, you can't beat without the use of a Game Genie code. In Rise of the Sinistrals, you are supposed to lose to him the first you fight, and in fact he's actually stronger at that point than when you fight him later and are supposed to win, though beating him does give you a good weapon. In ''The Legend Returns'', you're supposed to lose the first two fights with him, though if you take the right steps you ''can'' win. |
| 462 | * IAmNotLeftHanded: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with.]] He ''is'' left-handed, but uses his right hand in earlier fights during ''Lufia II'' via sprite flipping. |
| 463 | * {{Leitmotif}}: In ''The Legend Returns'', "Four Mad Gods Gades & Daos" plays during his physical appearances. Shared with Daos, as the name indicates. |
| 464 | * OneWingedAngel: In ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', he has not only one such form, but ''two'': One where he turns into a giant, barely humanoid mech that's 10 times his original size; and another where he ''becomes'' the dungeon the heroes are currently fighting on, only floating several miles above the ground, invoking a ColossusClimb during that part of the fight. The latter serves as the DiscOneFinalBoss. |
| 465 | * RecurringBoss: In ''Curse of the Sinistrals''. Even in the original version of the game, he's the Sinistral that you fight the most. |
| 466 | * TinTyrant: Chronologically, more of his body gets covered in armor with each passing game. By ''The Legend Returns'', he's become a walking pile of armor with only his [[RedEyesTakeWarning red, glowing eyes]] remaining visible. |
| 467 | |
| 468 | !!Amon, Sinistral of Chaos |
| 469 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiroakiHirata (Japanese, DS Game) |
| 470 | |
| 471 | Amon is the Sinistral of Chaos (in the original game, he is the Sinistral of Terror). He is more focused on his duties than Gades. |
| 472 | ---- |
| 473 | * AllEncompassingMantle: Almost always wears one, usually gold colored. His portrait in ''Curse of the Sinistrals'' takes nearly the entire screen because of them. |
| 474 | * BrownNote: In ''Curse of the Sinistrals'' the mere sound of his voice drives all who hear it into a panic. |
| 475 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: He doesn't have any personality traits separating him from Daos in the original game apart, but gets more characterization in the later ones. |
| 476 | * CutscenePowerToTheMax: He mops the floor with your party the first several times you meet him in Rise of the Sinistrals regardless of what your level is. |
| 477 | * EvilGenius: He tells Daos that he's set up a few methods of keeping the heroes away from Doom Island. None of them work, but he does at least wrecks their airship. |
| 478 | * {{Leitmotif}}: In ''The Legend Returns'', he gets "Four Mad Gods Amon & Erim" for when he's on screen. Also shared with Erim, naturally. |
| 479 | * ShouldersOfDoom: To go along with his mantle, he usually wears very large, spiked shoulderpads. |
| 480 | * TinTyrant: Much like Gades, he becomes more shrouded in armor with each chronologically passing game. Comparatively though, this is a DownplayedTrope, since by ''The Legend Returns'', he's ditched both his AllEncompassingMantle and ShouldersOfDoom in exchange for blade arms. |
| 481 | * WouldHurtAChild: The aftermath of Agurio's destruction shows that children are among the victims. |
| 482 | |
| 483 | !!Erim, Sinistral of Death |
| 484 | ->'''Voiced by:''' [[spoiler:Creator/MiyukiSawashiro]] (Japanese, DS Game) |
| 485 | |
| 486 | Erim is the Sinistral of Death. Her survival is key to keeping the other Sinistrals from being permanently destroyed. She also happens to [[spoiler: take on disguises as different mysterious women, such as Lufia, Iris, and Seena]]. She seems just as much an evil Sinistral as the others [[spoiler: until the third game, where she herself is finally fed up with the cycle, so she tries to get herself and the other three destroyed for good]]. |
| 487 | ---- |
| 488 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Blue in all three original main games, white in the remake. |
| 489 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the original game, Erim was depicted as a villainous entity [[spoiler: whose only redeeming traits came from her time as Lufia. ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' depicted her as far less villainous, aiding Maxim thanks to the time she spent with him causing her to fall in love with him.]] |
| 490 | * TheDragon: She doesn't hold any authority over Gades and Amon, but in gameplay terms she is the strongest one alongside Daos. She is the most important to the plot alongside him, since as long as she lives, the other Sinistrals will return to life. |
| 491 | * FourIsDeath: Not only are there four of the five Sinistrals attacking the world during the first two games(the fifth only shows up in the third game), but she's the Sinistral of Death and also the fourth one to be encountered in either of the first two games. [[spoiler: Not counting Lufia and Iris]]. |
| 492 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler: Erim swings back and forth between being an ally and an enemy in each game. In original, as Lufia, she acts as one of the main party as Lufia, until she regains her memory as Erim. Right before the final boss fight thanks to the Dual Blade, rejoining the party. In ''Rise of the Sinistrals'', she was initally in favor of the Sinistrals ruling the world, while guiding Maxim along as Iris the way to act as a test to see for humanity. But she ended falling in love with Maxim and aiding him far more than she should have, even if she still fought him and his party on Doom Island. After her defeat however, she reveals how he can stop Doom Island from falling on Parcelyte. When she appears in ''The Legend Returns'' she claims to have been out to rule the world herself, but was really intent ensuring all four of them died, including herself.]] |
| 493 | * HeelFaceTurn in ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', thanks to [[spoiler: ThePowerOfFriendship]]. |
| 494 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Does one in the place of Maxim and Selan in the NewGamePlus of ''Curse of the Sinistrals''.]] |

| 496 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Shares "Four Mad Gods Amon & Erim" with Amon in ''The Legend Returns''. Also in the same game, she gets an exclusive battle theme titled "Battle #4" [[spoiler:but only in the second fight, against the ''real'' Erim]]. |
| 497 | %%* NobleDemon |
| 498 | * ReincarnationRomance: She falls for Maxim hard enough to make her incarnations hook up with his descendants for two generations. |
| 499 | * SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: In ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', she dresses more revealing than Iris or Selan, for that matter. Even in the original, she wears Greek dresses which is still more revealing than the heroines. |
| 500 | * ScrewDestiny: In ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', she instigates the NewGamePlus, [[spoiler:by traveling back in time to ensure that her FireForgedFriends Maxim and Selan never have to make their HeroicSacrifice to save the world.]] |
| 501 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: In ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' and ''Curse of the Sinistrals''. |
| 502 | * ThanatosGambit: In ''VideoGame/LufiaTheLegendReturns'', she [[spoiler: devises a way to finish herself and the other Sinistrals for good.]] |
| 503 | * TheUnfought: [[spoiler: In the original game, while she's fought in the prologue, she's never fought during the main story.]] |

| 505 | |
| 506 | !!Daos, Sinistral of Terror |
| 507 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BanjoGinga (Japanese, DS game) |
| 508 | |
| 509 | Daos is the Sinistral of Terror (in the original game, he is the Sinistral of Chaos), and the leader of all of them. Unlike the other Sinistrals, he relies solely on magic attacks and no weapons. |
| 510 | ---- |
| 511 | * AdaptationDyeJob: His hair is [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white]] in the DS game. |
| 512 | * AllYourPowersCombined: |
| 513 | ** Employs this in order to create Guard Daos. He also absorbed Gades' and Amon's residual energy waves to fight the party in the DS game. |
| 514 | ** Does this again in ''The Legend Returns'', only this time he uses the residual energy waves of the recently killed Sinistrals to summon [[spoiler: Zalbak, the god of Eternal Flame, alongside forcing Erim to be absorbed by it, further empowering it.]] |
| 515 | * BadassLongRobe: He wears a giant armored robe in all of his appearances. |
| 516 | * BaitTheDog: His intro in ''The Legend Returns'' has him rescue a man from a Dragon, then kill the man when he thanks him. |
| 517 | * TheBattleDidntCount: Only in ''The Legend Returns'', similar to Gades above. |
| 518 | * BigBad: He is the leader of the Sinistrals, [[SortingAlgorithmOfEvil although there is a being that's technically above him]]. |
| 519 | * CripplingOverspecialization: As he only uses magic in battle, in the original game, even as Guard Daos, it means he can be easily beaten by casting Mirror on the party because it will reflect back all his spells. While Mirror is also present in ''The Legend Returns'' and can potentially allow the player to win the fights against him they're supposed to lose, it's not the guaranteed win it once was because of a spell he can use that removes all buffs from the target, including Mirror. |
| 520 | * ColonyDrop: Upon being defeated in ''Lufia II'', his last ditch effort is to attempt to crash Doom Island into Parcelyte. [[spoiler:It takes a HeroicSacrifice, courtesy of Maxim, in order to reroute its crash course into the ocean.]] |
| 521 | * EvilSorcerer: In all his appearances he uses nothing but magic. |
| 522 | * FinalBoss: In ''Lufia II'' and ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', sorta in the original game since the combined Sinistral is referred to as Guard Daos, implying his personality is dominant. |
| 523 | * HopelessBossFight: In ''The Legend Returns'', you got 3 instances of fighting him: First fight in Tower of Sorrow, fight in Tanba, and second fight in Tower of Sorrow (this one with only Wain and Seena). You're supposed to lose the first wo, but if you win you can get 3 Sinistrals Items as a bonus. The good thing about those items are that two of them give a good stat bost, the other one grants immunity to all status ailments, and the most important thing is you can bring them to Ancient Cave just like the rewards for beating Gades in similar situations. |
| 524 | * KnightOfCerebus: Whenever he shows up, it's usually a sign things will get serious. |
| 525 | * KickTheDog: Gets a bunch in ''The Legend Returns''. |
| 526 | * {{Leitmotif}}: |
| 527 | ** ''Lufia II'' gives him "Theme of Daos", a remix of the opening theme from ''Lufia & The Fortress of Doom'', that plays right before his fight, instead of "Four Mad Gods" like his siblings. |
| 528 | ** In ''The Legend Returns'', he shares "Four Mad Gods Gades & Daos" with, well, Gades. Also in the same game, as Guard Daos, he gets an exclusive battle theme titled "God of Destruction Guard Daos". |
| 529 | * SoreLoser: |
| 530 | ** After his defeat by Maxim's party, he tries to destroy join powers with the other Sinistrals and destroy the world. When that doesn't work, he settles for trying to crash Doom Island into Parcelyte. |
| 531 | ** In ''The Legend Returns'' he summons Zalbak to destroy the world after his defeat. |
| 532 | * TimeStandsStill: His main ability in the remake. |
| 533 | * TinTyrant: By ''The Legend Returns'', his face is concealed behind his helmet. |
| 534 | * WeddingSmashers: Crashes Jan and Sammi's wedding in ''The Legend Returns'' by mind-controlling the latter into killing her lover, to the point of granting Sammi power as strong as himself so Wain and Seena can't stop her. It took Jan to stab himself to snap Sammi out of it. |
| 535 | |
| 536 | !!Zalbak, Infernal God of Flame |
| 537 | The monster god of Eternal Flame which appeared in ''VideoGame/LufiaTheLegendReturns'' as the game's final boss. It becomes the most powerful of the Sinistrals, making its appearance in by absorbing [[spoiler: Seena]] into it. The party race to beat it up right after the other four Sinistrals are defeated, before it can proceed to destroy the world. |
| 538 | ---- |
| 539 | * AnimalisticAbomination: Unlike the other gods, it isn't treated like a person, has no dialogue, and all characters from the Sinistrals, the heroes, and [=NPCs=] refer to it like an animal. Appearance-wise, it looks like a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot giant, fiery lobster spaceship with a human face]]. |
| 540 | * TheDragon: It's Daos' most powerful, but near mindless follower. |
| 541 | ** DragonTheirFeet: It does its mission after the death of Daos. |
| 542 | * FinalBoss: Of ''The Legend Returns''. |
| 543 | * GenericDoomsdayVillain: Is a mindless monster who mostly exists to serve the FinalBoss. [[spoiler: He seems to exist mostly just to give a challenging final fight given that Erim was too weak to serve as much of challenge for the point in the game she is fought.]] |
| 544 | * GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Daos and the souls of the other Sinistrals [[spoiler:except for Erim]] summon it from the sun after the Sinistrals are defeated and the only reason it's around is because [[spoiler: Erim is too weak to be the FinalBoss (her stats are comparable to Daos', and she's beaten for good after defeating the much stronger Guard Daos).]] |
| 545 | * HPToOne: Has an attack that's capable of doing this to a random party member. |
| 546 | * MeteorSummoningAttack: One of the several attacks it can use is a meteor shower that hits the entire party. Despite its attack animation being in the same style as the other SummonMagic in the game, [[SlapOnTheWristNuke it's not as deadly as it would lead you to believe]]. |
| 547 | * OurMonstersAreDifferent: In addition to being the god of Eternal flame, it's also referred as a monster by Daos, and several other characters. The former even referring to it as the ''most powerful monster.'' |
| 548 | * PhysicalGod: Par for the course, since it's technically a Sinistral. |
| 549 | * PlayingWithFire: It's the infernal god of Flame, and has various fire powers. |
| 550 | * ThePowerOfTheSun: It seems to be summoned out of the sun or possibly Mars. |
| 551 | * RightHandAttackDog: It's a barely sentient being that lives to follows Daos' commands. |
| 552 | * SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Considered by Daos to have become the most powerful Sinistral after absorbing [[spoiler:Erim]] into itself. It's so powerful it needed the power of 3 Sinistrals to summon it, which may have furthered empowered it. |
| 553 | |
| 554 | !!Arek the Absolute |
| 555 | |
| 556 | ->"Us or humans? Which of us are really transient on earth?" |
| 557 | |
| 558 | Arek is a being above even Daos. He asks Erim if humans or Sinistrals are superior, and alerts the Sinistrals to the resurgence of the Dual Blade that can defeat Daos and the others. Though he doesn't seem very evil. |
| 559 | ---- |
| 560 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Doesn't appear in person anywhere else aside from ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' and its remake. He's only ever given a brief mention by Iris[=/=]Iria in ''The Legend Returns''. |
| 561 | * KingOfAllCosmos: A weird-looking entity that, despite essentially being the true leader of the Sinistrals, seems to follow the wills of the [[SwordOfPlotAdvancement Dual Blade]], for whatever reason. |
| 562 | * DubNameChange: From Arekdias to just Arek... not that this translation is consistent, however (see below). |
| 563 | * InconsistentDub: An unused location name in ''Lufia II'' calls him "Arek Daos", and he's referred to as "Alekdias" in ''The Legend Returns'', courtesy of the aforementioned Iris/Iria. |
| 564 | * ResetButton: [[spoiler: In the GoldenEnding of the DS remake, he's able to change the timeline by using the Dual Blade's ability to control time so that Selan and Maxim return home safely from Doom Island.]] |
| 565 | * TheWatcher: He seems to just watch the conflict unfold, without directly interfering. |
| 566 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: [[spoiler: In the DS remake, he looks like a blue crystal with debris floating around him, rather than a floating armor with a weird mask and a cape like in the original version.]] |
| 567 | [[/folder]] |
| 568 | |
| 569 | [[folder: Other Villains]] |
| 570 | Antagonists that aren't the Sinistrals, but may still be associated with them, though not always. |
| 571 | |
| 572 | !!Camu |
| 573 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lufiaii_camu_transparent.png]] |
| 574 | A follower of the Sinistrals. Serves as a minion to Gades. Kidnaps Hilda shortly after Guy joins the party. |
| 575 | ---- |
| 576 | * AndYourRewardIsClothes: You get his armor after defeating him, located in the chest behind him. Unless you enter his tower early, that is. |
| 577 | * AdaptedOut: Is nowhere to be seen in the remake, with Idura taking his role. |
| 578 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: An ObviouslyEvil FieryRedhead with black and gold armor and fire powers. |
| 579 | * FlunkyBoss: Summons lizard man-like enemies called "Followers" to fight you in his first appearance. He can summon more of them in his battle, except they're called "Slave" this time. |
| 580 | * KillItWithFire: His signature move, Buster Attack, deals fire elemental damage to the whole party. |
| 581 | * StarterVillain: Serves as the first boss with proper ties into the main plot. |
| 582 | * TinTyrant: Takes much of the same fashion advice as his master, albeit lacking a cape, and wearing a helmet. |
| 583 | |
| 584 | !!Idura |
| 585 | [[quoteright:128:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lufiaii_idura_transparent.png]] |
| 586 | [[caption-width-right:128:Idura in ''Lufia II''.]] |
| 587 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KosukeToriumi (Japanese, DS game) |
| 588 | A follower of "The Nameless" (the Sinistrals). Fights Maxim's party numerous times. |
| 589 | ---- |
| 590 | * AdaptationalDyeJob: His hair goes from blonde in the original to black in the remake. |
| 591 | * FlunkyBoss: He summons lots of monsters in his first appearance. This is also the case in his battles in both the original and the remake. In the original, he can summon Slave [[PaletteSwap palette swaps]] called "Groupie". |
| 592 | * RealMenWearPink: Wears crimson armor with a bright purple cape in ''Lufia II''. |
| 593 | * RecurringBoss: Is fought multiple times throughout ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' and the DS remake. |
| 594 | * SinisterMinister: In the original, he's technically part of the Sinistrals' ReligionOfEvil. In the remake, he's a priest in Parcelyte. |
| 595 | * ShockAndAwe: Idura Thunder is one of his signature moves. |
| 596 | * TakingYouWithMe: He invoked this both in original and remake. The original has him trying to blow up a shrine (of course after blocking escape spell Iris has) but only managed to take Dekar along. The remake had him trying to teleport Tia into another dimension only for Dekar to perform HeroicSacrifice. [[spoiler: Amusingly, both of the attempts failed since Dekar was back in the finale]]. |
| 597 | * WouldHurtAChild: He kidnapped Maxim's and Selan's child to cut Maxim's lineage, implying that this trope would've come into play had Iris not interrupted the whole thing. |
| 598 | |
| 599 | !!Ragule |
| 600 | [[quoteright:128:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lufiarol_ragule_transparent.png]] |
| 601 | ->"Hah! Don't waste your energy! My minions will make short work of you..." |
| 602 | The military commander of the rebuilt Gratze Kingdom from VideoGame/LufiaTheRuinsOfLore. Plans to use the power of the ancient Beast to bring destruction upon the world. |
| 603 | |
| 604 | ---- |
| 605 | * BigBad: Of ''The Ruins of Lore''. |
| 606 | * CutscenePowerToTheMax: As is standard with ''Lufia'', he wipes the floor with Eldin's party the first time they meet, with no chance to fight back. |
| 607 | * FinalBossNewDimension: [[spoiler:The final dungeon takes place in the holy lands, a place that resembles a giant floating structure made out of glass amidst outer space. The AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield during his (and Goldiark's) fight specifically features no floor at all, with the world and the sun being visible at the same time]]. |
| 608 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Was originally some no-name who managed to convince the king of Gratze to begin the resurrection of the Beast, using its power to reestablish a military state. He later assassinated the king in order to usurp him, though nobody seems to notice how suspiciously quiet the king's become lately, ultimately shrugging it off. No one aside from the party gets to know the truth. |
| 609 | * GenerationXerox: [[spoiler:Ragule is a descendant of Odin, the creator of the ancient Beast, Goldiark.]] |
| 610 | * GenericDoomsdayVillain: The implications of everything ''surrounding'' Ragule are far more interesting than Ragule himself. Thanks to only appearing in person thrice in the whole game, he has next to no development. |
| 611 | * HealThyself: He can use Miracle Hit in battle, an attack which heals 50 HP regardless of how much damage it does. |
| 612 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "History of Gratze ~ Ragule". |
| 613 | * MacGuffinDeliveryService: [[spoiler:He's able to access the holy lands thanks to Eldin's party placing down all the stones and shards at the top of the Tower of Guidance]]. |
| 614 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: The second time you get to see Ragule in person, where he talks for the first time, his portraits show that he doesn't ''just'' have bright red irises, he's got bright red ''sclerae'' as well. |
| 615 | * SecretLegacy: [[spoiler:As a descendant of Odin, an Eristolian, he's able to wield the power of the Beast, much like Eldin]]. |
| 616 | * StuffBlowingUp: One of the two all-targeting magic attacks he can use (the other being Vaccuum Wave), Star Burst, has the description of "A massive gas explosion". |
| 617 | * ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: His first set of lines when Eldin's party go to confront him at the holy lands. |
| 618 | ->"So... You made it this far... I am a being of the noblest blood... Your very presence offends me! I shall grant you no mercy!" |
| 619 | * WalkingSpoiler: Aside from a single FlashBack scene early on establishing his backstory and the off-hand mention by other characters, he only appears in person three times in the whole game, and the only two where he speaks at all happen at the very end, so it's hard to talk about him without going into spoiler territory. |
| 620 | |
| 621 | !!The Beast Goldiark/[[spoiler:Odin]] |
| 622 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lufiarol_beasthalf_transparent.png]] |

| 625 | [[caption-width-right:150:Goldiark]] |
| 626 | The ancient monster that the rebuilt Gratze is attempting to fully revive in ''The Ruins of Lore''. It was created a thousand years ago by a now bygone civilization, with its body divided into two halves, and its soul separated from its body and subsequently sealed in the holy lands. |
| 627 | ---- |
| 628 | * AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: [[spoiler:Goldiark uses the same one from the Ragule fight right before it]]. |
| 629 | * AnimalisticAbomination: The Beast Half may look like a standard giant dragon, but Goldiark itself is best described as a giant, half skeleton, half dragon-like ''thing'' with four ethereal wings and big hands with very sharp claws. |
| 630 | * CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:After Ragule dies, Odin emerges from his body in the form of the incomplete Goldiark, who serves as the game's FinalBoss]]. |
| 631 | * ClimaxBoss: The Beast Half, at least story-wise. It's one of the last bosses fought in the game, and a major plot development occurs after its defeat. |
| 632 | * CripplingOverspecialization: The Beast Half only has one attack, albeit one that hits extra hard to compensate: [[KillItWithFire Fire Breath]]. |
| 633 | * FinalBoss: Goldiark itself is this for ''The Ruins of Lore'', fought [[SequentialBoss directly after Ragule]]. |
| 634 | * HealThyself: Much like Ragule, Goldiark can use Miracle Hit. In addition to that, it can use Heal Plus, which heals 100 HP. |
| 635 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Is associated with both "Inside the Behemoth" and "The Elder". |
| 636 | * LoadBearingBoss: [[spoiler:Once Goldiark is defeated, then subsequently sealed by Irmis and Rubius, the holy lands start fading away]]. |
| 637 | * MarathonBoss: Goldiark has '''8000''' [=HP=], which is not only nearly four times more than the boss preceding it, but is also ''double'' that of the SuperBoss! |
| 638 | * MeteorSummoningAttack: Goldiark can use an all-targeting magic attack called Meteor Rain, which, unlike what its name implies, consists of a [[FlamingMeteor singular fiery meteor falling from the sky]]. It hits the whole party for heavy damage. |
| 639 | * SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:The Beast Half that's not in Ragule's possession is being sealed below Nazare Village, in a CrystalPrison. And Goldiark's soul, which was also Odin's soul, was being kept sealed in the holy lands]]. |
| 640 | * SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: [[spoiler: One of the Beast's halves has been residing within Ragule's body the entire time]]. |
| 641 | * SinisterScythe: Goldiark wields one that's the size of its entire body. |
| 642 | * StuffBlowingUp: The other all-targeting magic attack Goldiark can use, Big Bang, has the description of "An imense, destructive explosion". |
| 643 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:After the incomplete Goldiark is defeated, it still attempts to fuse with Eldin, since he possesses one half of the Beast, in order to become whole again. It takes the combined power of Rubius and Irmis sealing themselves in order to prevent Eldin's potential death]]. |
| 644 | * TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: The soul of the Beast that Ragule set out to retrieve? It's actually also Odin's soul, meaning he ''is'' the Beast in a way. His actions from 1000 years ago as the creator of the Beast, and Ragule being a descendant of him, kickstarted the game's events]]. |
| 645 | * UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:Odin's constant human sacrifices were done to attempt taming the Beast, which provided unlimited power, wealth and resources to the people of Eristol. Him being unable to keep doing so forever ultimately proved to be Eristol's downfall]]. |
| 646 | * WalkingSpoiler: Even ''more so'' than Ragule, because the story actually builds up to it throughout the game. All of its reveals occur in the late to endgame, making it near impossible to talk about it without spoiling. |
| 647 | * WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:It's not above trying to absorb KidHero Eldin after it's defeated in order to resurrect]]. |

| 727 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: It has the exact same appearance of a [[TheGoomba Red Jelly]], [[RecycledInSPACE BUT 10 TIMES BIGGER]]! |
| 728 | * BraggingRightsAward: In ''Rise of the Sinistrals'', the "Power Jelly" item (named as such internally) you get from defeating it serves absolutely no purpose outside of being displayed alongside the Iris Treasures. |
| 729 | * DamageSpongeBoss: In ''The Ruins of Lore'', where it's fought as a standard boss rather than as a TimeLimitBoss. It has 4000 HP, the second highest amount in that game. |
| 730 | * DubNameChange: Renamed to "Big Red Jelly" in ''The Ruins of Lore'', and to just "Big Red" in ''Curse of the Sinistrals''. |
| 731 | * MakingASplash: Its main methods of attack in ''The Ruins of Lore'' are to use the single target Douse or the all-targeting Bubble Bath. Under normal cirumstances both of these attacks would be extremely weak, but thanks to its absurdly high stats, [[FingerPokeOfDoom these low level attacks are capable of easily two shotting you]] if you're underprepared. |
| 732 | * PowerNullifier: In ''The Ruins of Lore'', when it's not attacking, it'll be attempting to use Tongue Hold on you, which inflicts [[StatusEffects Silence]]. |
| 733 | * RecurringBoss: Has appeared in every game past the first one as ''the'' boss associated with the Ancient Cave. |
| 734 | * SuperBoss: It's usually fought at the end of the optional Ancient Cave (with the exception of ''The Legend Returns'', where it's fought halfway through its 200 floor incarnation, with Iris[=/=]Iria taking its place as the last Ancient Cave opponent). The challenge it presents is rather unique: Outside of the aforementioned exception, it never attacks. It always opens its fights with a party-wide full heal, with the challenge being to attempt to deplete its gargantuan HP as quickly as possible before it forcefully ends the battle. |
| 735 | * TimeLimitBoss: In every appearance except the one in ''The Ruins of Lore'', you're tasked with depleting its enormous amounts of HP in a very strict amount of turns/time in order to get its rewards, otherwise it runs away or boots you back to floor 1. |
| 736 | |
| 737 | !!Iris/Iria |
| 738 | [[quoteright:192:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lufiatlr_iris_transparent.png]] |
| 739 | ->"I did not expect anyone to reach here." |
| 740 | Not to be confused with Iris from ''Rise of the Sinistrals'', ''this'' Iris is the namesake of the Iris Treasures and equipment obtained within the [[BonusDungeon Ancient Cave]]. She doesn't appear in person until ''The Legend Returns'', where she's fought at the 200th floor. |
| 741 | ---- |
| 742 | * BraggingRightsAward: |
| 743 | ** The Iris Treasures in ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' serve absolutely no purpose outside of being displayed in their own little room. |
| 744 | ** Out of the two rewards you get for beating her in ''The Legend Returns'' (one being the Rainbow ring, which [[EncounterRepellant turns off random encounters both in the overworld and inside dungeons]]), it can be argued that the "D-End Flash" IP Ability you get from defeating her is this. It's a PercentDamageAttack that takes away 50% of the enemy's current HP, in a game where such attacks ''aren't'' part of ContractualBossImmunity. By the time you may triumph over Iris, you likely won't need it in the main game. |
| 745 | * HolyHandGrenade: All of her attacks are Holy elemental, with the exception of Reduce. |
| 746 | * HPToOne: Her "Noble Blood" attack can do this to a random party member. |
| 747 | * InconsistentDub: In ''The Legend Returns'', her name is spelled "Iria" in battle. |
| 748 | * SequelHook: Should you defeat her, she says that you might be strong enough to defeat "Alekdias" (Arek the Absolute), setting up for a potential sequel with him taking center stage, something that [[AbortedArc never happened]]. |
| 749 | * SignatureAttack: Divine Weapon, an attack that hits random party members 7 times in a row. She can only use it when she TurnsRed. |
| 750 | * SuperBoss: The ''true'' boss of the Ancient Cave in ''The Legend Returns'', and far stronger than any of the Sinistrals. She has twice the [=HP=] of the game's final boss, and her other stats are on par with the Egg Dragon, but with the context of the Ancient Cave in mind, she poses a far bigger threat than he ever could. |
| 751 | * TurnsRed: Alternates between two distinct forms every few turns, one of them being far more dangerous than the other one. |
| 752 | |
| 753 | !!Egg Dragon |
| 754 | A mystic beast who grants one wish to anyone who collects and hands him 8 Dragon Eggs, which are scattered around the world. In every game past the first one, he'll challenge those who were granted all of their wishes, rewarding them greatly should they triumph. [[spoiler: Possesses Red Spiritual Force as a playable character]]. |
| 755 | ---- |
| 756 | * TheBerserker: [[spoiler: The only other playable character in ''The Legend Returns'' whom you cannot control directly.]] |
| 757 | * BloodKnight: Like Dekar, he enjoys fighting. |
| 758 | * EdibleThemeNaming: All of its attacks are named after different types of cooked eggs (Egg Paste, Hard Boiled, Scrambled Egg, to name a few). |
| 759 | * {{Cap}}: Possesses the max amount of HP (65535) when fought as a boss. It's possible to make its HP overflow back to really low digits if you use a healing spell on it. [[spoiler: As a playable character, it has all stats maxed out, even at level 1.]] |
| 760 | * GottaCatchEmAll: Dragon Eggs, a ShoutOut to ''Franchise/DragonBall''. |
| 761 | * GracefulLoser: He takes losing in battle quite well, rewarding the party in different ways depending on the game. |
| 762 | * HealThyself: [[spoiler: As a playable character, he may randomly use a move to fully heal himself]]. |
| 763 | * KungFuProofMook: In ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', he'll only take ScratchDamage if you try using physical attacks on him, no matter how high your level is. He's only ''slightly'' less resistant to charged attacks. |
| 764 | * MarathonBoss: If you try fighting him the intended way, prepare for anywhere between 10 to 30 minutes of hacking away at his HP. Especially in ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', where he'll take 1 damage from nearly everything thrown at him ''and'' cannot have his HP overflow into low values. |
| 765 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: There are dragons present as random enemies in-game, but none of them talk like he does. He can also grant wishes and as a boss he is stronger than the Sinistrals. |
| 766 | * OutOfFocus: Even if you recruit the Egg Dragon in ''The Legend Returns'', he never participates in any cutscene, nor does he get any lines. |
| 767 | * PermanentlyMissableContent: Will inexplicably disappear for the rest of the game after [[spoiler: Guard Daos]] is defeated in ''The Legend Returns''. |
| 768 | * PetMonstrosity: In ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', he was born from a egg that Lexis found while excavating for energy cores, and apparently likes to sleep around in Lexis' secret lab. Other than that, he's still pretty much the same mighty dragon we all know, dignified speech included. |
| 769 | * RecurringCharacter: One of the few [=NPCs=] in the series who have appeared in every mainline game. |
| 770 | * SecretCharacter: [[spoiler: In ''The Legend Returns''. If you can beat him in a bonus fight, he'll join you.]] |
| 771 | * SequelNonEntity: ''The Ruins of Lore'' is notably the only ''Lufia'' game to not feature him at all, which is especially weird considering the fact that, despite it being a GaidenGame, it not only takes place roughly 25 years after ''Lufia II'', but also because the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Egg Ring]] is still in the game despite his absence (where it's instead obtained via defeating the Ancient Cave's SuperBoss or crafting with the Alchemy system). |
| 772 | * SuperBoss: In ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' and its remake ''Curse of the Sinistrals'', and ''The Legend Returns''. |
| 773 | * TheUnfought: In ''Lufia & The Fortress of Doom''. |
| 774 | * WalkingSpoiler: Not so much in ''Rise of the Sinistrals'', but ''definitely'' in ''The Legend Returns''. It's hard to talk about the Egg Dragon in the latter without giving out gameplay spoilers. |
| 775 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: He's not seen in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue of ''The Legend Returns'', even if you did recruit him.]] |
