31----
32Dark guilds are guilds in the ''Manga/FairyTail'' series that act without consent of the Magic Council. They are mainly all criminal organizations, and serve as antagonists in the series.
33
34----
35[[foldercontrol]]
36
37[[header:Balam Alliance]]
38
39The heart of Fiore's criminal network, the Balam Alliance is an organization of the three most powerful dark guilds in the kingdom, each controlling its own portion of smaller dark guilds. The alliance effectively crumbles apart once all three guilds are destroyed by Fairy Tail.
40
41[[folder:Balam Alliance in General]]
42* EvilPowerVacuum: As the entire backbone of Fiore's criminal underworld, this inevitably happens once all three guilds are defeated.
43* LegionOfDoom: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. They're an alliance of guilds in charge of all the dark guilds that Fairy Tail faces, but they're only loosely associated with one another and never work together as a unit.
44* {{Mooks}}: They field the lesser dark guilds and troops directly under their command as this, though only the Oración Seis actually take advantage of this during their search for Nirvana (and likely only due to the fact they lacked any mooks in their own ranks). Grimoire Heart attacks Sirius Island with only the strength of their own guild backing them (which carried a sizable legion of lesser soldiers), while Tartaros decides to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness wipe out all of their subordinate guilds]] when they decide to put their plans to activate Face into motion and convert the remainder into demonic footsoldiers.
45* NonIndicativeName: Although it's formally called an "alliance", it is more accurately a non-aggression pact between the three guilds, since they barely interact with each other.

62!!Eisenwald
63
64Eisenwald is a dark guild controlled by Oración Seis, and the first to appear in the series. Once a legal guild, it was supposed to disband by order of the Council because of their unlawful actions. Nevertheless, its members continue to operate as a dark guild, and are out for revenge against those they blame for branding them as criminals.
65
66[[folder:Eisenwald in General]]
67* DisproportionateRetribution: Downplayed. At first it seems they are willing to take thousands of innocent lives just to get back at the Magic Council for disbanding their guild. Then it turns out their true targets are the official guild masters, and their previous claims were just to keep the heroes distracted. However, this just makes it [[ItsPersonal that much more personal]] for Fairy Tail.
68* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Due to having their guild unaccredited, they're basically viewed as outcasts by society and find it much harder to make a decent living. For this reason, they're willing to take the lives of people who have it so much better than they do. Lucy not only calls them out on this, but also points out the reason they were unaccredited in the first place was because they kept committing crimes.
69* MeaningfulName: Their name is [[GratuitousGerman German]] for "Iron Forest".

77
78The ace and acting leader of Eisenwald, notorious for his history of only accepting assassination jobs. He is skilled at using Wind Magic to attack, defend, and trap opponents.
79----
80* ArcVillain: Of the Lullaby arc, where he plots revenge against the system that ejected Eisenwald from the official guild league by killing the other guild masters with a cursed flute.
81* BadassLongcoat: Wears one when he appears in the Nirvana arc of the anime, which is also the one that Jellal wears later on.
82* BlowYouAway: He is a wind wizard, after all.
83* DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: The whole point of his Wind Wall spell is that the visible part is definitely ''not'' something you want to touch. His Storm Mail spell works under a similar principle, but as a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] there's still a great deal of wind blowing around the funnel itself.
84* ElementalArmor: His Storm Mail spell coats him in armor made of wind, which simultaneously allows him to repel enemies or attacks while also increasing the destructive power of his blows with literal hurricane-like force. However, the drawback to this "armor" becomes clear when Natsu turns up the heat so much that he creates a low-pressure area around them, which strips the wind currents away and leaves Erigor vulnerable.
85* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Holds this in [[PlayingWithFire Natsu]]'s face when they fight. [[SubvertedTrope Backfires spectacularly]] [[ConvectionSchmonvection in the end]].
86* {{Flight}}: He can use this courtesy of his [[BlowYouAway wind magic]], making him one of the few characters who can do so unaided by wings.
87* KnightOfCerebus: Whereas previous villains, while dangerous, were still mostly LaughablyEvil to some degree, Erigor is the first ''Fairy Tail'' villain who has virtually no humorous moments, and whose murderous actions have a serious and personal weight to the heroes.
88* MythicalMotifs; The grim reaper, between his [[RedBaron title of "Death God"]], scythe, and ruthlessness. Fits it even better post timeskip in an anime only filler, having become an EmptyShell that simply kills.
89* PurpleIsPowerful: His magic has a purple aura, and he proves to be [[WakeUpCallBoss the first serious challenge Natsu faces in the series]].
90* RazorWind: His Wind Wall badly cuts up Natsu and Erza's bodies when they try charging through it in the manga, and he's surprised to still see Natsu in one piece after he endures his attacks.
91* RedBaron: Earned the title "[[{{Shinigami}} Death God]]" due to his only taking assassination requests.
92* ScarfOfAsskicking: About the only thing he wears apart from his pants.
93* SinisterScythe: He carries a huge scythe to go with his "Death God" motif.
94* TattooedCrook: His torso is covered with tattoos, and he has facial markings below his eyes.
95* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Downplayed in his return during the Nirvana arc in the anime, where he explicitly states he ''did'' grind in preparation for his rematch with Natsu. Unfortunately for him, Natsu's grinded a hell of a lot more by that point and kicks his ass. Averted in the Key of the Starry Heavens {{Filler}} arc, detailed below.
96* WakeUpCallBoss: He is the first antagonist that Natsu couldn't just bash into a wall with raw determination and required actual strategy to defeat.
97* WalkingShirtlessScene: Natsu mocks him for walking around half-naked, [[HypocriticalHumor despite having no shirt on himself]].
98* WhiteHairBlackHeart: He's very temperamental and mocking, and he earned his title of "Death God" by his preference for only taking assassination requests.
99* WorthyOpponent: During his anime-only rematch with Natsu, he admits that what he'd really hoped for was to fight Natsu again and win.
100
101!!In the Key of the Starry Heavens arc
102
103Erigor returns after the TimeSkip as a member of the Neo-Oración Seis, codenamed Grim Reaper. This time he has the power to control the weather in exchange for his memories of his entire life.
104----
105* AdaptationalBadass: In the manga, he never appears again after the Lullaby Arc. In the anime during this arc, he's now powerful enough that he can ''take out Erza and Gray in a single blow'', in addition to becoming a member of the new Oración Seis.
106* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the manga, he was only presented as a murderous villain in the Lullaby Arc and not much more. For the anime filler arc, he's shown to genuinely care for his Eisenwald guildmates and has a small amount of rapport with Wendy in his final scene, thanking her for helping him regain his memories.
107* BaldOfEvil: He's lost all his hair, and is more intimidating and evil than ever.
108* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: When his brainwashing begins to fade and his memories of Eisenwald return, it is shown that despite the lack of camaraderie in his old guild, he considered his guildmates to be his TrueCompanions.
109* ForgotAboutHisPowers: When Bickslow expresses disbelief upon seeing that Erigor can [[{{Flight}} fly]], Erigor himself admits he actually forget he could due to his memory loss.
110* ForgetfulJones: PlayedForDrama. As a side-effect of his constant memory loss, Erigor forgets who Wendy and Bickslow are while he's fighting them.
111* TheGrimReaper: Takes up the title as his codename and theme, based on his [[RedBaron old title]] as "{{Shinigami}} Erigor".
112* GrudgingThankYou: After Wendy heals Erigor, he tells her that while he doesn't intend to be friends with her, he is at least grateful for her help.
113* HazyFeelTurn: In his final scene, he gives Wendy a GrudgingThankYou, saying he doesn't intend to be friends with her but he's still grateful to her. Beyond that, especially considering he doesn't rejoin Oracion Seis after they gain their freedom and join Jellal as Crime Sorciere, it's unclear if he genuinely wants to turn his life around or continue following the path of dark guilds.
114* IdentityAmnesia: He has no memory of being Erigor of Eisenwald due to his constant memory loss, and has a much more subdued and creepy personality.
115* MindControlEyes: His eyes are a dull, glassy gray as Grim Reaper.
116* PowerAtAPrice: He gives up his memories in exchange for power over the TimeSkip. Once he recovers, he admits that living without any memories was the most agonizing experience he has ever gone through.
117* ReviveKillsZombie: When Wendy realizes that the memories of his past are physically hurting him, she keeps casting healing spells on him until he recovers all his memories, freeing him from the Oración Seis' control.
118* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Eisenwald and Erigor were technically always under the control of Oración Seis but Erigor never joined any other team in the manga as an official member. In this anime-exclusive arc, Erigor actually joins Cobra, Midnight, Racer, and Angel once they become the Neo-Oración Seis as a teammate.
119* TookALevelInBadass: He's become an official member of the Oración Seis, looks a lot more like TheGrimReaper, and can throw whole hurricanes on people with ease. Too bad he also loses his memory.
120* WeatherManipulation: His [[BlowYouAway wind magic]] has been upgraded to this, allowing him to attack with [[DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud tornadoes]], [[ShockAndAwe lightning strikes]], [[MakingASplash water torrents]], and piles of cows.

123[[folder:Kageyama]]
124!!Kageyama
125!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AnriKatsu (Japanese), Chad Cox (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Benjamin Pascal (French)[[/note]]
126[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kageyama-ftanime_2184.jpg]]
127
128Erigor's right-hand man. He uses Shadow Magic to blend into his surroundings.
129----
130* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: He gets an earlier appearance in the anime when he catches a group of dissenters from Eisenwald who want out of their plan with Lullaby.
131* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: DoubleSubverted. Despite Fairy Tail taking pity on him and treating him much nicer than any of his guildmates ever did, he still betrays them to carry out Eisenwald's plot. It's only when he's about to kill their master that the weight of their kindness finally starts to sink in, allowing Makarov to [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath talk him out of it]].
132* CastingAShadow: He is an accomplished shadow wizard, and can use shadows for a variety of purposes, including CombatTentacles and transportation.
133* DarkIsEvil: He is a ruthless and envious wizard who specializes in shadow magic. However, this doesn't stop him from having a HeelFaceTurn.
134* TheDragon: He is Erigor's most trusted, prominent, and fleshed out minion.
135* DragonTheirFeet: He picks up Eisenwald's plot after Erigor is beaten.
136* EvilCannotComprehendGood: After he's been wounded and abandoned by his so-called friends, Kageyama thinks that Fairy Tail is only helping him so he can be used as a hostage to bargain with Erigor, rather than out of the goodness of their hearts. It's later subverted when their kindness causes him to hesitate killing their master and ultimately pull a HeelFaceTurn.
137* EyesAlwaysShut: Though not as frequently as other characters who exhibit this trope, his eyes are mostly closed when he's exhibiting [[FauxAffablyEvil a pleasant demeanor]].
138* FauxAffablyEvil: He strikes up a friendly conversation with a motion-sick Natsu while on the train about all the perks that must come with being in an official guild, and then proceeds to spitefully kick him in the face for having all the things he can't have as a member of an expelled guild.
139* GreenEyedMonster: He's extremely jealous of official guilds like Fairy Tail for all the rights they're entitled to, particularly in the female department, while they themselves are discriminated against for being a dark guild.
140* HeKnowsTooMuch: His guild's justification for killing him is so they can keep him from helping Fairy Tail dispel the magic wind wall trapping them.
141* HeelFaceTurn: He is unable to bring himself to actually kill the guild masters, especially after Natsu and the others help him out, leading to his surrender.
142* InSeriesNickname: His friends in the guild call him "Kage-chan", or simply "Kage" in the English dub. It sounds like an AffectionateNickname, but the fact that the people who call him that also leave him for dead proves otherwise.
143* InTheBack: Gets stabbed with a knife by Karacka in the manga, and [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaled with his whole arm]] in the anime, to keep him from ratting out to Fairy Tail. Despite this, he survives.
144* MeaningfulName: "Kage" means "shadow".
145* ShapingYourAttacks: The Orochi Shadow, along with many fist and hand-shaped attacks.
146* TheSmartGuy: Is hinted to be highly intelligent due to his [[InformedAbility mastery of sealing magic]].
147* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Falls victim to this when he comes face to face with Makarov before he can play Lullaby to kill the guild masters.
148* YouHaveFailedMe: Has this pulled on him before he can possibly betray Eisenwald. Natsu [[BerserkButton is not amused]].

155
156A wizard who uses urumi blades to ensnare his opponents.
157----
158* BullyingADragon: He makes the mistake of taunting Gray over how Eisenwald is going to kill the guild masters, including Makarov.
159* ExoticEyeDesigns: His eyes are diamond-shaped in the manga.
160* HarmlessFreezing: Gray turns him into a human popsicle, but he later thaws out perfectly fine.
161* JustBetweenYouAndMe: He reveals Eisenwald's true goal of targeting the legal guild masters to Fairy Tail after they're trapped in a train station.
162* SinisterSchnoz: He has a big, hooked nose to add to his shady appearance.
163* WhipSword: He fights with black urumis, whip-like swords that are attached to his fingers.

169
170A fat wizard who can phase his body through objects.
171----
172* FatBastard: Subverted. He seems like this by default since he's in a dark guild, but he truly thinks of Kageyama as a friend.
173* {{Gonk}}: He's an unsightly fatass who doesn't even have a nose.
174* {{Intangibility}}: He can phase through solid walls. In the anime, this is how he attempts to kill Kageyama, [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaling him on his own arm]].
175* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He looks absolutely distraught when he stabs Kageyama InTheBack, and he's later seen apologizing profusely to him as they're being rounded up by the Council.
176* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He has the sense not stick around after seeing Erza [[OneManArmy decimate all their men]].

183
184A whiskered man who uses light magic.
185----
186* AnimeHair: Has a pillar of hair.
187* LightEmUp: Appears able to use light magic, though he's beaten by Erza before he can use it. It's clear, however, that [[LightIsNotGood his magic doesn't make him a good guy]].
188* MindOverMatter: He uses telekinesis in the manga to fill a glass with beer.
189* NoSympathyBetweenMooks: Gives Karacka the order to kill Kageyama before he has a chance to help the enemy.
190* TooDumbToLive: Thinks he can take on Erza, even after witnessing her wipe out the bulk of their guild's numbers [[OneManArmy all on her own]] firsthand. [[CurbStompBattle The results are predictable]].
191[[/folder]]
192----
193!!Death's Head Caucus
194
195A dark guild of wizards who specialize in assassination.
196
197[[folder:Death's Head Caucus in General]]
198* DubNameChange: They're called ''Dokurokai'' in Japanese, while Funimation translates their name as the Death's Head '''Order''' in the English dub.
199* ProfessionalKiller: They are a group of assassins who make a living out of killing others.
200[[/folder]]
201
202!!!Trinity Raven
203
204The Death's Head Caucus's elite guerilla squad. They replace Erza's friends as Jellal's minions once the others switch sides.
205
206[[folder:Trinity Raven in General]]
207* AnimalThemeNaming: They're all named after birds: "Ikaruga" is a Japanese grosbeak, "Fukuro" is a type of owl, and Vidaldus's last name, "Taka", is Japanese for "hawk".
208* BadassCrew: Trinity Raven is quite infamous for putting Death's Head Caucus on the map as one of the deadliest assassin guilds around. The fact that each member of this team alone has challenged the members of the strongest team of Fairy Tail (including Erza, the strongest woman in the guild) and one of the S-Class members of Phantom Lord (Juvia) and damn near win each fight is a clear testimony of their skill.
209* BloodKnight: Vidaldus is the AxCrazy type, Fukuro's the one with the [[KnightTemplar facade of justice]], and Ikaruga's the more [[SoftSpokenSadist reserved type]].
210* FusionDance: They're implied to inhabit Vidaldus's body before Jellal gives him permission to take action.
211* QuirkyMinibossSquad: They step in to replace Jellal's old squad in the Tower of Heaven arc since they were beaten/pulled a Heel–Face Turn.
212* SparedByTheAdaptation: They suffer an UncertainDoom when the Tower of Heaven falls apart in the manga, but the anime shows a brief scene of them escaping well clear of the explosion on Fukuro's back. This leads to a bit of a plot hole in the Alvarez Empire arc when Neinhart temporarily resurrects Ikaruga as a Historia, with later material explicitly noting the target must be dead for it to work, though it doesn't preclude the possibility Ikaruga died [[KilledOffscreen from some other cause]] over the eight years in-universe since her last appearance.
213* UncertainDoom: In the manga, at least, Vidaldus and Fukuro are suggested to have died after the Tower of Heaven's collapse.
214[[/folder]]

219[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Ikaruga_2559.jpg]]
220
221The leader of Trinity Raven who wears a kimono and speaks in ''haiku''. She possesses a magic sword that can cut through anything.
222----
223* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Her sword can not only cut all of Erza's armor to pieces, but her attacks can also slice through the dimensional barriers of Shô's cards.
224* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: After Erza realizes her armor is useless against Ikaruga, she decides their match with a SingleStrokeBattle as Ikaruga kept subjecting Erza to.
225* DarkActionGirl: She is the first non-ArcVillain in the series who not only manages to face Erza, the strongest female member of Fairy Tail, in a fair fight, but also very nearly one-ups her. She's such a fearsome opponent, in fact, Neinhart manages to create a Historia of her based on Erza's memory of her skill.
226* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the manga she was straight up killed by Erza in their battle, with a lethal amount of spilt blood erupting from her body as she fell. The anime censored her death, making it look like she just was knocked unconscious and then showed her evacuating the place with the help of Fukuro, but she was still mentioned to have been KilledOffScreen via unknown means later on.
227* EvenEvilHasStandards: She seems to find torture meaningless and distasteful as expressed by her Historia towards Kyôka.
228* FragileSpeedster: She's extremely fast, but not durable, with Erza defeating / killing her with one good hit.
229* IaijutsuPractitioner: Her attacks are so fast, Erza doesn't realize she's been hit by them until her armors fall apart.
230* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Her first move in battle is to slice all of [[DeathDealer Shô]]'s cards in half ''length''-wise (less than a millimeter) while also cutting Shô himself; in the anime, she even manages to [[BloodlessCarnage cut his nerves without cutting the skin]].
231* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: She wears her kimono down past her shoulders, with seemingly nothing to support it.
232* KatanasAreJustBetter: She wields a magically enhanced katana called Mugetsu-Ryu, which is portrayed as an impossibly fast and sharp blade that Erza's European armor can't handle.
233* KilledOffscreen: In the anime, she escapes the Tower of Heaven alive, but is confirmed to have died eight years later since Neinhart creates a Historia of her, which would only be possible if she was dead.
234* LadyOfWar: She never loses her serene grace even while attempting to slaughter Erza.
235* OneHitKill: Although she did not have the order of killing Erza but only of capturing her during the events of the Tower of Heaven and therefore she was limiting herself, Ikaruga has nevertheless demonstrated a master skillful swordswoman skill to the point that [[CurbStompBattle she can easily to put Shô on his knees and give Erza a lot of trouble from an abysmal physical distance]]. However at the end, during a SingleStrokeBattle, Erza finally manages to overcome her by seriously injuring her.
236* PlayingWithFire: Her ''Karuda-en'' technique allows her to draw a ring of fire around herself with her sword.
237* ReplacementGoldfish: Ikaruga is brought back as a Historia by Neinhart, and gangs up on Erza with Azuma and Kyôka.
238* TrickedOutShoes: She wears a set of massive ''okobo'' that add to her traditional Japanese noblewoman motif and give her a stature advantage against her foes.
239* WarriorPoet: Ikaruga recites ''haiku'' right before attempting to fight Erza to the death.

245
246Jellal's personal attendant, who reveals himself as a hyperactive punk rocker with hair that can absorb liquid, and can enslave others with his electric guitar music.
247----
248* AxCrazy: He is the wildest and most violent member of Trinity Raven.
249* BigOlEyebrows: Though they are more prominent before transforming.
250* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He does this to Juvia when he hits her with his spell Rock of Succubus, transforming her into an even more distorted, ferocious and aggressive female version of himself that obeys his every order.
251* CatchPhrase: "Go to Hell!"
252* DeathSeeker: By his own admission, his dream is to die and go to Hell.
253* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: His chalky-white skin and ebony hair make him one of the creepiest-looking villains in the series.
254* LargeHam: It comes with being a punk rocker.
255* MagicHair: His hair can absorb liquids, making him impervious to Juvia's water attacks.
256* ManiacTongue: He could give Gene Simmons a run for his money. Juvia inherits this trait while she’s under his control.
257* MindRape: The supplications, ambiguous words and the agonizing laments of Juvia at the moment in which he transforms her into a succubus make it suppose.
258* MusicalAssassin: He uses MagicMusic to produce deafening noises and brainwash his opponents.
259* NotAfraidToDie: When he learns that the Magic Council is planning to fire Etherion on the Tower of Heaven, he is at first angry that Jellal hadn't been told about it earlier, but then decides he doesn't care because he enjoys fighting with his life on the line.
260* NumberTwo: He fills a vague sort of second-in-command role for Jellal before his true disposition as a Trinity Raven assassin is revealed.
261* PhlebotinumOverload: Lucy takes advantage of his liquid-absorbing hair by summoning Aquarius, who conjures too much water for him to handle and pins him down for a finishing blow.
262* ThePowerOfRock: Which he uses to make women his slaves, along with his guitar and hair magic.
263* PowerPerversionPotential: Uses his "Rock of Succubus" song to brainwash girls into being his groupies. He forces the brainwashed Juvia to fight Lucy just so he can watch a Cat Fight.
264* TheStoic: He's initially shown to have a very stern and serious personality before Jellal gives him permission to go all out.
265* WalkingShirtlessScene: Once he drops TheStoic act.

272
273A man with an owl's head, a jetpack, and a very warped view of justice. He can copy other wizards' powers by swallowing them whole.
274----
275* TheAssimilator: He swallows his opponents to gain their magic. He even gains a tuft of Natsu's hair when he gets swallowed.
276* BlackHoleBelly: His body briefly [[BalloonBelly bulges out]] when swallowing Natsu, but quickly reverts back to normal despite the fact that he now has a full-grown human being inside of him.
277* TheBrute: Is the largest of his comrades, and the physical strength to match.
278* CannibalismSuperpower: By swallowing enemies whole, he is able to use their magic; the longer they digest, the more he absorbs.
279* CombatPragmatist: He studies his "prey" and will exploit any vulnerabilities they have, like Natsu's motion sickness.
280* JetPack: Fukuro's jet pack consists of two ICBM missiles.
281* KnightTemplar: Fukuro thinks of himself as [[JusticeWillPrevail a hero of justice]] punishing evildoers, despite being quite the lawbreaker himself.
282* LargeHam: He talks and acts like some kind of superhero.
283* NoSell: Having a owl's eyes, he does this to Simon's darkness spell, as he can still see him.
284* PowerCopying: Fukuro's magic allows him to take the magic of anyone he eats.
285* ObliviouslyEvil: He works with a DarkActionGirl and an AxCrazy rockstar to aid a BrainwashedAndCrazy Jellal in his evil scheme to revive an unspeakable evil, yet he calls Natsu and his friends the bad guys.
286* OminousOwl: He's basically a human with an owl's head, with all of the benefits it entails, and [[PrimalFear then some]].
287* TinyHeadedBehemoth: He's a massive, muscular man with a tiny owl's head.
288* WalkingShirtlessScene: He never wears a shirt, showing off his human body.

312Ape-like brothers who act as the leaders of Naked Mummy.
313----
314* BeastMan: They resemble giant apes, but it's unclear if that's what they actually are.
315* BullyingADragon: In the manga, Zatô spreads plenty of rumors about Fairy Tail being a weak guild and tries beating Laxus to the ground. [[CurbStompBattle The results are predictable]].
316* ForgetfulJones: Gatô always forgets everything he says not even a minute before, resulting in him repeating himself.
317* HarmlessVillain: They and their guild fight Fairy Tail a grand total of three times, and lose each time.
318* LetsGetDangerous: During their last stand against Fairy Tail, they're supposedly skilled enough to give Natsu and Gray a hard time, [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome not that we get to see it]].
319* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: They somehow manage to give Natsu and Gray some trouble in the Nirvana arc, but none of their fight is shown; it simply cuts to the brothers lying battered on the ground next to an exhausted Natsu and Gray.
320* RedBaron: "Crazy Monkey" Zatô.
321* RunningGag: The fact that they call each other "Big Brother", making it impossible to determine who is really the other brother. There's also Gatô's habit of repeating himself.
322* SillySimian: Natsu certainly thinks their apelike appearance is amusing.

344[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Click here to see his Etherious Form]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doriath_etherious.png]][[/labelnote]]
345
346A wizard who made a pact with Tartaros, turning him into a demon from the Book of Zeref. He wields the Way of Devolution, an inhuman power that regresses his targets' physical and magical abilities, turning them into children.
347----
348* AlwaysABiggerFish: After being defeated by Gray, he gets eaten by his own bird mount, which proceeds to chase after Fairy Tail.
349* AttackBackfire: Due to the way [[ImaginationBasedSuperpower Maker Magic]] works, Doriath's power ends up being more helpful to Gray than harmful, in spite of weakening his power.
350* BerserkButton: When Gray, despite being turned back into a child, is able to fight back and talk down at him, Doriath gets so angry he loses focus on the Way of Devolution and assumes his demon form to attack Gray.
351* BrownNote: In his demon form, his [[FountainOfYouth Way of Devolution]] can be used as a sound wave so that instead of only being able to affect the enemy in front of him, it is able to regress everybody in Sun Village back to their childhood. The downside is that it doesn't discriminate between friend or foe, as seen when it hits his partner Minerva.
352* CharacterDeath: Gets gobbled up by the very bird monster that carried him to the Village of the Sun. He realizes that his role in the greater scheme that Tartaros is planning is done, and knows the guild won't allow anyone the chance to get captured and divulge their secrets.
353* CombatPragmatist: He turns his victims into children so that they'll be easier to deal with. He also doesn't waste any time casting it once an enemy is in sight.
354* DeathByIrony: After wanting to [[ImAHumanitarian eat Gray]], he himself gets eaten by [[AlwaysABiggerFish a giant, flying monster]].
355* DemonOfHumanOrigin: He was once a human guild wizard who was subjected to Tartaros's demonization process, making him an Etherious himself.
356* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: He can still use his magic while in his OneWingedAngel form, but he is no longer capable of aiming (or he just doesn't bother to do so anymore), causing everyone--including [[FriendlyFire Minerva]] and [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Sylph Labyrinth]]--to get hit by it.
357* DubNameChange: Funimation changes his "Way of Devolution" to "Art of Regression".
358* FangsAreEvil: Even with his mouth shut, he has a lot of fangs jutting out.
359* FountainOfYouth: His magic hits his victims with this. According to him, his magic actually affects the magic power of the victim, and their age regression is a secondary effect.
360* HulkingOut: He hulks out into a huge demon after Gray sufficiently pisses him off.
361* HumiliationConga: Things just don't go well for him once Gray decides to fight him: first he's duped into tumbling over a cliff, and then landing onto a bush that's covered in Demon Slayer ice, which is the equivalent of sitting on a porcupine. To top it off, he gets a pile of shaved ice dumped on his head. Finally, after he proves himself a sufficient threat when angered, he gets gobbled up by a giant cyclops bird.
362* ImAHumanitarian: His attempt to eat Gray after turning him into a child seems to be a pretty big indication.
363* InconsistentSpelling: Funimation spells it as "Doriate", which is close to how his name is pronounced.
364* KryptoniteIsEverywhere: Bordering on TooDumbToLive, as the area he fights in is coated in ice that would severely damage him.
365* MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning: His cryptic warning to Fairy Tail before dying that the netherworld gate has been opened indicates Tartaros was already on the move, cannibalizing his guild, Succubus Eye, and several other dark guilds to assert their full dominance right before beginning their gruesome slaughter of the Magic Council's current ranks and alumni.
366* OneWingedAngel: He assumes his true, giant demon form to fight Gray.
367* OurDemonsAreDifferent: He's a former human who was transformed into a demon by Tartaros.
368* RedEyesTakeWarning: He has these in the anime, and he is definitely ''not'' a nice guy.
369* StatusBuff: The Way of Devolution's primary effect is to lower the opponent's abilities to their absolute minimum; their transformation into a child is a side effect.
370* TopHeavyGuy: His demon form really bulks up his upper body and arms, to the point he's in a PrimalStance when at rest.
371* WasOnceAMan: He was once an ordinary wizard who made a pact with Tartaros, who used their technology to transform him into a demon.
372* WouldHurtAChild: He definitely has no problem with beating up adults with the bodies of children.
373* WeakButSkilled: Subverted. Gray assumes he uses Way of Devolution on his enemies to make up for his somewhat average power, which seems to match up to how the fight was going. Then he reveals his true colors as a powerful demon.
