| 11 | |
| 12 | Our protagonist, a cheerleader from San Romero High School who doubles as a professional zombie hunter. In the process, she [[FunPersonified embodies everything fun]] about TheDitz and TheTease. Juliet wakes up on her 18th birthday to find her school overrun with zombies. With her chainsaw, the support of her zombie-hunting family, and the still-living severed head of her boyfriend Nick, she sets out to stop the zombie apocalypse from totally ruining her birthday. |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * ActionGirl: You'd have to be to battle hordes of the undead. |
| 15 | * AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Right before slicing Nick's head off, [[spoiler:and again before his HeroicSacrifice to defeat Killabilly]]. |
| 16 | * AssKicksYou: Juliet's "Butt Attack", which instantly makes zombies groggy. |
| 17 | * AwesomenessIsAForce: When Nick asks Juliet where the rainbows and sparkles come from as she kills zombies, she replies "From awesome!" |
| 18 | * BadassAdorable: Isn't she just the most adorable zombie-slaying badass ever? Hilariously enough, she claims to have killed her very first zombie with a sharpened baby rattle. |
| 19 | * {{BFG}}: "Chainsaw Blaster!" |
| 20 | * BigBrotherInstinct: One area focuses on her saving Rosalind from Josey. She also chases after her in the previous stage. |
| 21 | * BigBrotherWorship: Gender-inverted. She absolutely adores her older sister, Cordelia. |
| 22 | * BladeLock: During her confrontation with Lewis Legend, she ends up locking her chainsaw with his spiked guitar, emitting SwordSparks. A cosmic background briefly appears during the lock before they separate. |
| 23 | * BloodKnight: Sure, she's a good person, but damn does she like killing things. She says that killing zombies give her "total wood" and admits that it's fun to kill her friends now that they're zombies. She's also killed plenty of non-zombie supernatural creatures including sasquatches, leprechauns and Frankenberries. That bit of cheerful bloodthirstiness tends to run in all the Starling sisters. |
| 24 | * BuffySpeak: "Wow. Dumbest, most explodiest birthday cake ever!" Rather fitting, considering the many similarities between Juliet and [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]]. Career-wise, that is. |
| 25 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Her inane babbling in no way diminishes her zombie-hunting prowess. |
| 26 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: A heroic example. [[spoiler:The reason why Swan developed feelings for Juliet was because she once defended him from his bullies. To Swan, it was the first time someone actually cared about him and he thought she was special because of it. However, since Juilet only helped Swan out of the goodness of her heart, she didn't notice him pining for her as she moved on with her life, leading to her dating Nick and infuriating Swan enough to end the world.]] |
| 27 | * CallingYourAttacks: "Chainsaw Blaster!" "Chainsaw Dash!" |
| 28 | * TheCameo: Makes one in ''VideoGame/KillerIsDead''. In Episode 51 (a DLC chapter), if the player breaks open a barrel on a ledge that's shaking, Juliet leaps out and jumps away to the sound made in her own game when she uses her Big Jump move. |
| 29 | * ChainsawGood: Her favorite way to slay zombies is with a magical chainsaw that she always carries. |
| 30 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She has a tendency to go off on very odd tangents, and has a short attention span. |
| 31 | * ComplimentFishing: She loves being told that she's not fat. Therefore, she frequently calls herself fat so that people will tell her otherwise. |
| 32 | * DanceBattler: She employs her cheerleading skills in her zombie massacres. |
| 33 | * DoesThisMakeMeLookFat: Juliet is self-conscious about her so-called "huge butt", asking Nick in the Fulci Fun Center if pink makes it look less big as well as "Too much booty?" sometimes while changing costumes. |
| 34 | * DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the ManicPixieDreamGirl, Juliet matches the criteria of such a character, i.e. attractive, ditzy, upbeat, high on life, quirky, and playful. Prior to the outbreak, this was charming and applicable to her role as a cheerleader. However, in the apocalypse... |
| 35 | ** Nick is dragged along on Juliet's adventure and she rejects his desire to be put down since he's overwhelmed with the stress of being reduced to a head, forced to watch Juliet fight the undead, and being disrespected by Juliet and her family. While Juliet appears callous and worryingly positive due to her high on life attitude, she explains that she's been fighting the undead since she was a baby and is thus just used to the mass death and chaos. |
| 36 | ** [[spoiler: It was also Juliet's beauty and personality that actually caused the apocalypse. Swan fell for her after she once defended him from his bullies, but since Juliet is so high on life, she never noticed him again and moved on. When she started dating Nick, Swan took it personally and blamed her for toying with his feelings.]] |
| 37 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Being a teenage girl, she isn't above trash-talking her opponents, even if they do happen to be superpowered zombies. Her gumption actually [[BaddieFlattery impresses Lewis Legend enough to compliment her]] later in the game. |
| 38 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: The game's bosses consist of a five-man group of zombie demigods [[spoiler:and a hulking mega-zombie who is essentially an extremely obese zombie version of Music/ElvisPresley]]. And yet Juliet plows through them all with her trusty chainsaw. |
| 39 | * DitzyGenius: She's knowledgeable in all things zombie-related, is an accomplished necromancer, and is highly adaptable to extreme environments.[[note]]She also has a 3.4 GPA, which isn't bad, but not that impressive on a national scale[[/note]]. She's also, well, a ditz. |
| 40 | * DumbBlonde: Played with. Despite having the stereotypical personality of one, she actually gets good grades and is more than capable of handling herself in combat. |
| 41 | * FamilyThemeNaming: Like her sisters, Cordelia and Rosalind, Juliet is named after a character from the works of William Shakespeare. Specifically Juliet Capulet from ''Romeo and Juliet'', a play that is famously known as a tragic love story. |
| 42 | * GenkiGirl: Even in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, it is impossible to keep Juliet upset for long. |
| 43 | * GirlishPigtails: As you can probably tell by looking at her hair, she's rather girly. |
| 44 | * GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She has a favorite stuffed toy rabbit, which she is seen cuddling in the intro. One of her extra costumes is modeled after the same rabbit. |
| 45 | * GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's your typical high school cheerleader who loves sweets (namely lollipops) and her boyfriend, and she can be [[DumbBlonde kinda ditzy]]. But she's also into the zombie-hunting business as is the rest of her family, and she's quite skilled in fighting with a chainsaw. |
| 46 | * GoofyPrintUnderwear: She tells Nick that she is wearing her special zombie-hunting underwear, which, according to her training, is cotton panties with teddy bears or hearts on them. |
| 47 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Juliet is a genuinely kind person who wants to keep as many people safe as she can. [[spoiler:Even Swan, but he is unfortunately beyond her help.]] |
| 48 | * HiddenDepths: She may think it's totally cool that she has a severed head for a boyfriend, but if her DreamSequence at the start of stage 3 is to be believed, she fears that he'd rather become a zombie than continue living as just a head. |
| 49 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: |
| 50 | ** Towards Nick - she's happy that he's not dead and is quick to proclaim her love for him, but never gets it through her skull that he has plenty of good reasons to feel miserable. |
| 51 | ** [[spoiler:Also towards Swan before she started going out with Nick. [[ButForMeItWasTuesday She doesn't remember doing anything bad to Swan]] that prompted him to start the ZombieApocalypse. It is even suggested that they had never ''spoken'' to each other.]] |
| 52 | * JigglePhysics: Shots that focus on her chest show her to be... bouncy. |
| 53 | * ALoveToDismember: With Nick's head, the twist being that he's still alive. |
| 54 | * MaleGaze: Applied to Juliet frequently in cutscenes. |
| 55 | * ManicPixieDreamGirl: Nick didn't start off brooding and depressed, but once he became a head, life lost a lot of zing for him. That's when Juliet reveals she's actually a zombie hunter and starts showing what she's truly like. Then her perkiness goes into overdrive to the point where, at late stage 5 or 6, he says he's finding it hard to stay miserable hanging around her. |
| 56 | * MartialArtsAndCrafts: Juliet utilizes her cheerleading chops as a branching series of quick, light, set-up {{combo}}s. |
| 57 | * MiniDressOfPower: She usually fights in her cheerleader uniform. |
| 58 | * MsFanservice: A just-turned-18-year-old hot blonde girl in a cheerleader outfit? You better believe it. |
| 59 | * NavelDeepNeckline: Her [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/18/47/9f/18479fc94fce6d335cb93f01ad570cba.jpg biker outfit]] is unzipped ''past'' her navel. |
| 60 | * NiceGirl: It's pretty safe to say that she's an all-around friendly person. |
| 61 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Killing all five Dark Purveyors only ended up completing Swan's ritual and summoning Killabilly. That, and Swan disliking her choice of boyfriends.]] |
| 62 | * NightmareFetishist: Juliet can, on occasion, show a surprising interest in many of the horrors she comes across. Of course, since her entire family is made of zombie hunters, she's probably used to it. |
| 63 | * NoPeekingRequest: Played for [[LampshadeHanging comedy]] and [[TheTease teasing]]. Juliet is self-conscious about people looking up her skirt and [[BreakingTheFourthWall will cover herself if the camera is angled beneath it]]. There is an in-game achievement for it, and [[MaleGaze the camera does this often in cutscenes]]. |
| 64 | * ObliviousToLove: [[spoiler:Swan was infuriated by the fact that Juliet never noticed him, and she reveals that she barely knows who he is. She didn't ignore him out of spite, she just didn't see how special it was to Swan that she stood up to his bullies. From then on, Swan ''never'' spoke to her and just pined from afar. Instead, she started dating someone from her peer group, a jock, a clique Swan associates with his trauma as a bully victim. This caused Swan's rage to fester and provided the motivation for him to bring about the end of the world.]] |
| 65 | * OneManArmy: While her family helps, Juliet does much of the grunt work of stopping the zombie apocalypse (and the people behind it) alone. |
| 66 | * PluckyGirl: She's a Grasshopper Manufacture protagonist in the same vein as [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes Travis Touchdown]] or [[VideoGame/ShadowsOfTheDamned Garcia Fucking Hotspur.]] Just a girl instead. |
| 67 | * ThePollyanna: Manages to wear a smile even when slaughtering zombies. |
| 68 | * SheFu: ''All the time.'' Justified by her being a cheerleader; she naturally has to stay in shape to remain good at it. |
| 69 | * {{Stripperific}}: Her normal and alternate cheerleader outfits are pretty skimpy. You can also have Juliet tear through the walking dead wearing naught but a bikini, one of them a seashell bikini. |
| 70 | * SuperCuteSuperpowers: Juliet causes hearts and rainbows to appear as she fights, and "Sparkle Hunting" by beheading three or more zombies at once creates a slow-motion sparkle screen effect; she also summons pom-poms and strikes cheerleader poses in certain combos. |
| 71 | * SweetTooth: For lollipops, which also restore her health. |
| 72 | * SwissArmyWeapon: It's a chainsaw! It's a cell phone! It's a grenade launcher, self-propelled rocket engine, or pair of pom-poms! |
| 73 | * TheTease: Either because of or resulting in the ThirdPersonSeductress. |
| 74 | * TheTeeTotaler: Doesn't do drugs (space cake or otherwise), never watched porn and is very good at keeping boys out of her body. It is suggested that she's, at least, on second base with Nick though. |
| 75 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Lollipops, as the name implies. Nick's birthday gift to her is even a bouquet of lollipops. |
| 76 | * WeightWoe: Juliet refers to herself as "gross" and "fat" as a result of her lollipop obsession. |
| 77 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Can use wrestling moves like take-downs, hurricanranas and the drop kick. |

| 80 | [[folder:Nick Carlyle]] |
| 81 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nick_carlyle.png]] |
| 82 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenichiSuzumura (JP), Creator/MichaelRosenbaum (EN) |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Juliet's boyfriend. 18 years old. After he gets bitten by a zombie, Juliet decapitates him in a desperate attempt to keep him from turning. His still-living head is kept on Juliet's person to give her emotional support whenever he's not lamenting his current situation. He can also take control of headless zombies for a short while thanks to Juliet's magic. |
| 85 | ---- |
| 86 | * AudienceSurrogate: Juliet had been keeping the whole "zombie hunter" thing a secret from him in the game's opening. As he learns about the way it works, so does the player. |
| 87 | * BadassNormal: Pre-beheading, it's implied that he took down an entire group of zombies by himself. This is without any of Juliet's athleticism or knowledge of how to stop them. |
| 88 | * BookDumb: He's pretty sharp, all things considered, but his grades kind of suck. For the record, his GPA is a 2.7. Juliet has a 3.4. However, one throwaway line in stage 1 states that he is in Calculus, a notoriously hard math class, so zig-zagged. |
| 89 | * ButtMonkey: He takes quite a bit of abuse over the course of the game and can never seem to catch a break. |
| 90 | * CrazyJealousGuy: Played for laughs. He expresses jealousy towards zombies on occasion: |
| 91 | --> "That zombie just looked at your butt! I saw it!" |
| 92 | * CreatorCameo: Resembles Creator/JamesGunn, who helped write the game. |
| 93 | * DeadpanSnarker: After the initial shock of everything wears off, Nick settles firmly into being very snarky about the whole situation. He eventually stops questioning the absurdity of it all. |
| 94 | * DeathSeeker: He openly requests Cordelia to put a bullet in his head at one point during stage 5. |
| 95 | * DespairEventHorizon: During stage 5. He snaps out of it eventually. |
| 96 | * DisabledSnarker: He was reduced to a still-living head after Juliet beheaded him in a desperate attempt to save him from zombification. Quite a few of his quips are at his own expense, particularly after Juliet's defeated Vikke and the flying ship is starting to list before crashing: |
| 97 | -->"This bites my nonexistent balls." |
| 98 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Played for laughs; upon encountering his zombified algebra teacher, Mr. Fitzgibbons, he immediately wants the latter killed for giving him a bad grade in class. |
| 99 | --> '''Nick:''' He gave me a D last week. Kill him! |
| 100 | * EquippableAlly: Juliet wears his head on her waist like a keychain. This eventually becomes a source of distress for him as he [[DeathSeeker desperately wants to die]]. |
| 101 | * FateWorseThanDeath: He certainly regards his predicament as a living, body-less head as this. |
| 102 | * ForgotAboutHisPowers: [[InvertedTrope Or lack thereof.]] Early on, when first meeting [[BigBad Swan]], Nick threatens him to leave Juliet alone. But his threat falls flat due to phrasing: |
| 103 | -->'''Nick:''' Wait till I get my hands on you, dude! [[VerbalBackspace Um— Uh, I mean...]] |
| 104 | * GivingUpOnLogic: By the time they get to Lewis, Nick has simply stopped caring about all the weirdness he's seen. |
| 105 | --> "Sure. Giant robot elephant. Doesn't even faze me anymore." |
| 106 | * GrievousHarmWithABody: Several of Juliet's most powerful attacks involve weaponizing Nick's head, either by using him as a flail or a projectile. [[spoiler:The ending has Juliet being forced to use a "Nick Bomb" to destroy Killabilly once and for all]]. |
| 107 | * GoodCounterpart: To Swan, of all people. Nick is a jock while Swan is a goth, two high school cliques which are stereotyped as popular/outcasts in teen media, respectively. Nick is a protagonist despite just being a talking head, while Swan is the BigBad responsible for everything going to hell. [[spoiler:They both went through many hardships in their lives, and their turning point was falling in love with Juliet. Swan was cruelly bullied by the jocks at school, and constantly stalked and pined for Juliet after she treated him nicely. However, in doing so, he ends up objectifying Juliet and when he sees her dating a jock, he snaps and becomes a villain. In contrast, Nick befriended Juliet and they both fell in love after getting to know each other. While Nick became a ButtMonkey after being reduced to a talking head, receiving NoSympathy for his situation and even treated like an object by others, he ultimately never lets his troubles define him because at the end of the day, he still loves Juliet. Fittingly, he's also the one who undos Swan's revenge plan by having Juliet plant his head on Swan's headless body, making Killabilly self-destruct]]. |
| 108 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He allows his head to be attached to Swan's decapitated body in order to destroy Killabilly.]] |
| 109 | * HiddenDepths: He's a fan of Music/MyChemicalRomance. This doubles as an in-joke, since MCR and Music/MindlessSelfIndulgence, whose lead singer composed the boss themes, are closely connected. |
| 110 | * IWillOnlySlowYouDown: Says this verbatim at the start of stage 5 once the pressure of losing his body starts to get to him. |
| 111 | * LosingYourHead: Inverted as it's the ''body'' he loses. After performing a SenselessSacrifice that gets him infected, Juliet is forced to decapitate him with her chainsaw. She preserves his head with magic, allowing him to talk without ([[LampshadeHanging somehow]]) a working thorax. |
| 112 | * LovableJock: He was a jock at school before the ZombieApocalypse, and he's a loving boyfriend who's devoted to Juliet. [[spoiler:As revealed in flashbacks, he's actually the TokenGoodTeammate of his peers, as the other jocks were assholes who bullied Swan mercilessly.]] |
| 113 | * MagicKnight: Whenever Juliet slaps him onto a zombie body, he's both really strong and uses really powerful magic. |
| 114 | %%* MetaGuy |
| 115 | * StraightMan: As a disembodied head hanging onto Juliet's hip for most of the game, Nick is a helpless observer to the story's insanity, often reacting with shock or sarcasm. |
| 116 | * NoodleIncident: He was apparently once drugged by a priest named Father O'Malley. |
| 117 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: When he's first seen, there are numerous corpses laid out on the ground, meaning that he somehow managed to fend for himself despite not having any zombie slaying experience. |
| 118 | * OnlySaneMan: He's the only one on Juliet's journey who knows absolutely nothing about the zombies. His suggestions, meaningful or otherwise, all get brushed aside. |
| 119 | * TinyGuyHugeGirl: [[spoiler:Once he is resurrected with his head permanently attached to Morikawa's body due to a cosmic mix-up (not that he minds).]] |
| 120 | * TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler:Flashbacks reveal that [[LovableJock he was the only jock in San Romero High who never participated in the bullying of Swan]]. However, his hooking up with Juliet drew Swan's ire anyway, as he had been crushing on Juliet for quite some time and took her dating another guy as a "rejection."]] |
| 121 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:It's revealed in flashbacks that him becoming Juliet's boyfriend was the last straw that pushed Swan into unleashing a ZombieApocalypse on San Romero. Him also being a jock presumably didn't help, as Swan was cruelly humiliated and bullied by rather mean-spirited jocks in the past.]] |
| 122 | * WhatTheHellHero: Often calls out Juliet during stage 5 for not respecting his wishes and treating him like an accessory. |

| 129 | |
| 130 | Juliet's big sister. 20 years old. A real crack shot with a sniper rifle. When she's not hunting zombies, she's a professional assassin, although Juliet thinks she's being scouted by universities. |
| 131 | ---- |
| 132 | * ActionGirl: She's received the same training that Juliet has and kicks just as much ass. |
| 133 | * CoolBigSis: Doesn't get much cooler than a zombie hunter with a sniper rifle. |
| 134 | * FamilyThemeNaming: She's named after Cordelia from the Shakespeare play ''King Lear''. |
| 135 | * FriendlySniper: She's a good person with a sniper rifle. |

| 143 | |
| 144 | Juliet's little sister. 16 years old. Obsessed with driving vehicles of every sort, but lacks the expertise. |
| 145 | ---- |
| 146 | * BadassAdorable: Intentional or not, her driving "skills" make her a dangerous combatant. |
| 147 | * CarFu: Mostly because she DrivesLikeCrazy. |
| 148 | * CloudCuckoolander: She's... not all there. |
| 149 | * CollectorOfTheStrange: Collects yeti skulls. She also wants to add Music/JustinBieber's skull to the pile. |
| 150 | * DamselInDistress: Gets kidnapped by the Dark Purveyors to provoke Juliet. |
| 151 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: She clearly is a lethal hazard when put in a mobile machine. |
| 152 | * FamilyThemeNaming: She's named after Rosalind from ''As You Like It''. |
| 153 | * GenkiGirl: She's as energetic as she is dangerous behind the wheel. |
| 154 | * MoodSwinger: Once put behind the wheel of something she clearly has little control over, she shifts between laughing excitedly and screaming in terror. |
| 155 | * MotorMouth: Most of her dialogue practically tumbles out of her mouth. |
| 156 | %%* NightmareFetishist |
| 157 | * TooDumbToLive: The player must protect her from zombies on multiple occasions. |

| 162 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JojiNakata (JP), Creator/GreggHenry (EN) |
| 163 | |
| 164 | Juliet's dad and head of the zombie-hunting family business. 44 years old. |
| 165 | ---- |
| 166 | * BadassBiker: He mows through a crowd of zombies on a motorcycle [[spoiler:in the final battle, before making his HeroicSacrifice in order to help Juliet defeat Killabilly]]. |
| 167 | * BoyfriendBlockingDad: It takes him a while until he finally accepts Nick as Juliet's boyfriend. When he eventually does give his begrudging approval, he admits to Nick that while he's not the boy he would've chosen for Juliet, he's clearly the one Juliet chose for herself. And he trusts the decision she's made. |
| 168 | * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:He seemingly dies while performing a HeroicSacrifice to blow a hole in Killabilly's face.]] The ending cutscene reveals that he survived. |
| 169 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: "Favorite Weapon: His own G.D. fists." |
| 170 | * HappilyMarried: He's unable to keep his hands off of his wife, if Juliet's introductory montage means anything. |
| 171 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: He destroys Killabilly's face with a bundle of dynamite, appearing to die in the ensuing explosion. Fortunately, he lives, albeit at the cost of one of his testicles.]] |
| 172 | * InASingleBound: Is capable of scaling buildings way faster than any human should. |
| 173 | * ManlyTears: Said to cry any time he sees a dog die on TV. See also TearsOfJoy. |
| 174 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Looks an awful lot like Music/JohnnyCash if he was a zombie hunter. Having a southern drawl doesn't hurt. However, he also looks like an older, gruffer version of Music/ElvisPresley, with his open-collared outfit, black-haired pompadour, and his cocked smile. |
| 175 | * PapaWolf: Blew up Josey's spaceship once Rosalind was out of trouble, somehow managing to hitch a ride on it as it was flying high above the city, all to save his youngest daughter. |
| 176 | * RubeGoldbergHatesYourGuts: A heroic example in stage 5. He devises an elaborate DeathTrap to kill a horde of zombies in Juliet's way to the church. |
| 177 | * SoProudOfYou: He's a ''very'' doting father and his pride in Juliet's tactical genius brings him to tears. |
| 178 | * StacysMom: Is "a total DILF" according to Juliet's friends. |
| 179 | * TearsOfJoy: When he learns that Juliet is a tactical genius. |

| 186 | Juliet's mom. She refers to herself as the mother of the "infamous Starling sisters." |
| 187 | ---- |
| 188 | * AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:In the bad ending. If Juliet fails to save all her surviving classmates, it's revealed that she was infected and turned into a zombie.]] |
| 189 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A [[https://lollipopchainsaw.fandom.com/wiki/File:Starling_Family_Portrait.png family photo]] reveals she's a blonde, and that her three daughters inherited it from her. She's also a loving wife and mother. |
| 190 | * HappilyMarried: Her marriage with Gideon is portrayed as purely loving [[spoiler:except in the bad ending, where she proceeds to attack her family after being turned into a zombie]]. |
| 191 | * TheVoice: Aside from a few photos in the opening sequence, the cellphone calls to Juliet and [[spoiler:the post-credits scene]], you pretty much only ever hear her voice throughout the game. |
| 192 | * WeirdnessCensor: She is completely unaware of her family's duties as zombie hunters. [[spoiler:This comes to a brutal and tragic end in the bad ending where she herself becomes a zombie and attacks her grief-stricken family.]] |

| 203 | * DeadPersonConversation: Juliet has one with him in stage 6 when he [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane somehow manages to call her]]. |
| 204 | * DirtyOldMan: Enough to make him an {{Expy}} of Master Roshi from ''Franchise/DragonBall''. The man gawks at his own student in zombie-killing and encourages her to wear GoofyPrintUnderwear. |
| 205 | * FunbagAirbag: Lands face-first in Juliet's cleavage after the Dark Purveyors finish pummeling him. |
| 206 | * KilledOffForReal: He dies after sustaining fatal injuries from the Dark Purveyors. |
| 207 | * LargeHam: He is shown to kill zombies just as stylishly as Juliet in his introductory cutscene, and encourages her and Nick to "KILL THE MOTHERFUCKERS!" |
| 208 | * MentorOccupationalHazard: Gets killed by the Dark Purveyors in stage 1. Doesn't stop him from helping Juliet post-mortem by calling her from the other side. |
| 209 | * OldMaster: A veteran in killing zombies. Juliet is one of his pupils. |
| 210 | * YouCantThwartStageOne: Dies trying to stop Swan from summoning the Dark Purveyors. |

| 216 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto (JP), Creator/SeanGunn (EN) |
| 217 | |
| 218 | The main antagonist. 18 years old. A goth student from San Romero High School who opens a portal to Rotten World and infests Earth with zombies to get even with the people who made his life a living hell. |
| 219 | ---- |
| 220 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: [[spoiler:Swan was infatuated with Juliet but was too scared and awkward to approach her, instead choosing to pine for her from afar until she asked him out. However, Nick ruined his fantasy by doing the one thing Swan never did - by actually talking to her and sharing mutual interests. Swan's rage finally reached its breaking point, and he sought to seek revenge on the world for never accepting him.]] |
| 221 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Implied to be the reason he fell in love with [[spoiler:Juliet, as a flashback shows she once stood up for him when he was being bullied]]. |
| 222 | * BelievingTheirOwnLies: [[spoiler: He had a huge crush on Juliet and spent his days pining for her (by watching from afar, hiding from her so she wouldn't notice him, and never speaking to her). During this time, Swan fantasized about her reciprocating his feelings for her and asking him out, something he was so invested in that he ended up going mad with rage when he discovered that Nick and Juliet started dating.]] |
| 223 | * BigBad: He's responsible for the zombie apocalypse that drives the game's plot. |
| 224 | * ClusterFBomb: Ought to make this his catchphrase. |
| 225 | * DarkIsEvil: Swan wins absolutely no points for subtlety in this regard with his very dark clothes and pitch-black hair. |
| 226 | * DeadpanSnarker: He dryly asks Juliet if she didn't have time to clean out her locker when she confronts him outside the school. |
| 227 | * DealWithTheDevil: He summons the Dark Purveyors for the sole purpose of unleashing a ZombieApocalypse and making everyone suffer. |
| 228 | * DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: [[spoiler: Swan is ultimately a deconstruction of the DoggedNiceGuy. For all of his life, Swan was bullied relentlessly by jocks because he was different and came from a friendless background. One day, Swan developed a crush on Juliet after she stood up for him when his bullies started harassing him. Since Swan is very insecure and shy, he chose to pine from afar and wait for Juliet to play out his fantasies by asking him out. However, Juliet never noticed him again, and Nick eventually ruined his fantasy by befriending Juliet and asking her out. Since Swan was tormented by jocks on a daily basis, Nick caused his animosity to fester. In Swan's heartbroken state, he assumed Juliet betrayed him, and decided to bring Armageddon to San Romero because of this. Swan killed hundreds, if not thousands of people because he didn't understand why a girl he hid from and never spoke to didn't notice him.]] |
| 229 | * DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:He starts a ZombieApocalypse because he was bullied in school and rejected by Juliet in his eyes. It is strongly implied that he had never even spoken to her prior to his ritual.]] |
| 230 | * DoggedNiceGuy: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:Swan fell in love with Juliet because she once defended him from bullies. Since Swan didn't know how to talk to her, he just pined from afar. Upon discovering that Juliet was dating Nick (one of the jocks, presumably the group that tormented him the most), he took it as the final straw. In summary, Swan decided to cause a zombie apocalypse because [[EvilIsPetty he was too shy to talk to the girl he liked and didn't understand why she was too busy to notice him]].]] |
| 231 | * DogKickingExcuse: Swan starts the ZombieApocalypse due to a mix of [[spoiler:him being bullied and his unrequited crush on Juliet being denied when she got together with Nick]]. However, the fact that he specifically orders the zombies under his control to attack ''everyone on the planet'', rather than only [[spoiler:those who bullied him, or even only Nick]], suggests that his FreudianExcuse is just that: an excuse. |
| 232 | * EmoTeen: Though he looks like a {{Goth}}, he has the personality of a stereotypical emo teen. He even practices making broody faces in the mirror, as stated on his title card. [[spoiler:When he gives Juliet a MotiveRant on why he unleashed a ZombieApocalypse on Earth, his dialogue is essentially him whining about how the entire world "ridiculed" and "rejected" him, so he's going to make them all suffer in turn.]] |
| 233 | * EntitledToHaveYou: [[spoiler:He fell in love with Juliet because she treated him nicely one time, which caused him to obsess over her... while doing absolutely nothing to let her know about this. When he saw Juliet dating Nick, he proceeded to throw what was essentially one big supernatural temper tantrum, because how ''dare'' his crush fall in love with someone else, least of all someone who resembled the jocks who bullied him.]] |
| 234 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler: He became infatuated with Juliet because she stood up for him once and was nice to him. A basic act of decency that Swan misread as an act of love, and he was driven mad with rage once he learned she had moved on with her life by dating Nick, a jock.]] |
| 235 | * EvilCounterpart: To Nick, of all people. Nick is a jock while Swan is a goth, two high school cliques that are stereotyped as popular/outcasts in teen media, respectively. Nick is a protagonist despite just being a talking head, while Swan is the BigBad responsible for everything going to hell. [[spoiler:They both went through many hardships in their lives, and their turning point was falling in love with Juliet. Swan was cruelly bullied by the jocks at school, and constantly stalked and pined for Juliet after she treated him nicely. In doing so, he ends up objectifying Juliet, and when he sees her dating none other than a jock, he snaps. In contrast, Nick befriended Juliet and they both fell in love after getting to know each other. While Nick became a ButtMonkey after being reduced to a talking head, receiving NoSympathy for his situation and even being treated like an object by others, he ultimately never let his troubles define him because, at the end of the day, he still loved Juliet. Fittingly, he's also the one who undoes Swan's revenge plan by having Juliet plant his head on Swan's decapitated body, making Killabilly self-destruct.]] |
| 236 | * EvilIsNotAToy: Subverted. While dealing with the Dark Purveyors is not a wise decision in any way, it's ''not'' how he dies, surprisingly, despite the Dark Purveyors thinking he's a punk. |
| 237 | %%* EvilLaugh |
| 238 | * EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:Being bullied at school, especially to the degree that he went through, is no laughing matter. However, opening a rift to the world's equivalent of {{Hell}} and causing a massive ZombieApocalypse for the purpose of getting even with ''the entire world'' is a rather petty decision... made even more pathetic because he did it because a girl he liked that he ''never'' talked with decided to date a guy that actually took the time to befriend her and that wasn't ''him'']]. |
| 239 | * FreudianExcuse: He was a victim of bullying, and from what we see in the flashback cutscenes, he genuinely ''did'' have it pretty rough in school. [[spoiler:The various jocks of San Romero High constantly mistreated and ridiculed him, including taking away his lunch money, using him for target practice, and leaving him stark naked in the school's football field. It's eventually deconstructed when what pushed him into villainy was seeing Juliet, his unrequited crush, dating Nick, another jock. In his eyes, both the bullying and Juliet's "betrayal" justified his revenge scheme of having the world being overtaken by zombies. But the fact that his revenge extends to those who had nothing to do with his torment makes him come across as petty and unsympathetic.]] |
| 240 | * AGodAmI: Part of his ritual involves him declaring himself the god of the realm of Earth to the Dark Purveyors. |
| 241 | * {{Goth}}: He looks the part, but given his angsty attitude, he leans more towards [[EmoTeen the emo side of the scale]]. |
| 242 | * GothsHaveItHard: It's heavily implied that he was bullied by the jocks in his school ''because'' he's a goth. [[spoiler:When Juliet defended him from his bullies, only to seemingly "betray" him by dating Nick, Swan's anger and resentment boiled over, pushing him into villainy as he used his torments and Juliet's betrayal to justify his unleashing a zombie apocalypse on San Romero. It's made very clear that, yes, what he went through was horrible, but the reasoning behind his actions are ultimately [[ItsAllAboutMe petty and selfish]]]]. |
| 243 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Deconstructed; [[spoiler:this is a huge part of why he became a villain. Swan bore such a huge grudge against the {{Jerk Jock}}s for bullying him that it made him hate even {{Lovable Jock}}s like Nick, who likely wouldn't approve of his classmates' cruelty. As for Juliet, her standing up for him caused Swan to fall in love with her, but being a shy kid at the time, he resorted to observing Juliet instead, causing him to objectify her as someone who could do no wrong. Seeing Juliet date a jock not only [[BrokenPedestal broke Swan's perceptions of Juliet]], but also pushed him to unleash a zombie apocalypse onto what he saw as a "rotten world" out of misanthropic rage. However, the game makes it clear that his life would have been actually better off if he chose to get to know Juliet and Nick instead of dismissing them for not fitting his perceptions of them, and using them as a scapegoat for his own troubles just comes off as rather petty and unsympathetic]]. |
| 244 | * ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:The reason why he caused the apocalypse? Juliet helped him once and then moved on with her life by dating Nick. She didn't remember this because she's a good person at heart and didn't see anything special about helping him. Swan didn't do himself any flavors because he believed Juliet would eventually notice him despite doing nothing on his part to get her attention.]] |
| 245 | * KansasCityShuffle: [[spoiler:While he was counting on Juliet to kill the Purveyors to complete his plan, it really didn't matter what happened in the long run as long as Juliet and his schoolmates suffered.]] |
| 246 | * LonersAreFreaks: The school loner without any known friends, and the game's main villain who brings about a zombie apocalypse just to make the people he doesn't like suffer. |
| 247 | * LosingYourHead: [[spoiler:Self-inflicted by shooting himself with Lewis Legend's guitar gun. Apparently done as part of the ritual to summon Killabilly.]] |
| 248 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler: He developed a huge crush on Juliet after she defended him from some bullies, an act that Swan deeply over-valued. Since Swan didn't know how to talk to her, he pined from afar and projected his fantasy onto her. When Nick started dating Juliet, Swan took this personally and swore to destroy the world out of spite for Juliet's rejection.]] |
| 249 | * LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: "Your eternal screams of horror will be ''MY pop music''!" ([[spoiler:Spoken as he sacrifices himself as part of the ritual to summon Killabilly.]]) |
| 250 | * MadBomber: Part of his plan to open the portal to Rotten World involves placing at least a few truckfuls of explosives inside the school. |
| 251 | * MaddenIntoMisanthropy: He was a victim of severe bullying in school. [[spoiler:However, what pushed him into villainy was seeing his crush, Juliet, dating Nick, which he took as a "rejection" in his mind. The fact that he decides to infest Earth with zombies to make ''everyone'' suffer, instead of just focusing on his bullies, makes him come across as [[DisproportionateRetribution petty and unsympathetic.]]]] |
| 252 | * ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:He's revealed to be this in the climax. Juliet thinks that getting rid of him and the Dark Purveyors will stop the ZombieApocalypse he caused. To her horror, she learns the Dark Purveyors were actually willing sacrifices in a grander ritual to summon Killabilly, and their ringleader manipulated her into killing them off; Swan pretends that he doesn't want her to kill the Purveyors right up until she tears the last one apart. [[MortonsFork No matter what choice she made, it still would have doomed everyone anyway.]]]] |
| 253 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 254 | ** [[spoiler:Since the ritual culminates in his suicide, his entire plan could be considered his "swan song", especially when you consider all the musical references of the Dark Purveyors.]] |
| 255 | ** Another theory is that his name is based off the story of the ugly duckling who grew up to be a beautiful swan. [[spoiler:It suggests that his life would've been better had he not focused on making people suffer for the sake of revenge.]] |
| 256 | * MisanthropeSupreme: Being bullied constantly in school [[spoiler:and being "rejected" by the pretty girl he crushed on]] has led him to believe that the entire world is rotten, and drives him to attempt to destroy it. |
| 257 | * NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:He did achieve his goals of getting revenge by slaughtering all the jocks in San Romero. He just got greedy by trying to make humanity extinct.]] |
| 258 | * NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:Swan blames Juliet for "being just like everyone else" when her "rejection" is just Swan's interpretation of events. In reality, Swan was always too shy to approach Juliet or even talk to her, so he projected a romanticized image of her in his head out of loneliness and insecurity and spent his time pining from afar until Juliet would notice him.]] |
| 259 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: There's some Music/MarilynManson in his iconogaphy, particularly with the pale make-up and jet-black hair. |
| 260 | * NotGoodWithRejection: He triggered a ''ZombieApocalypse'' because [[spoiler:he took Juliet dating Nick as rejection. It's made a point that he's so bad with rejection, he can't accept one that exists ''entirely within his head.'']] |
| 261 | * OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Shoots it off himself with Lewis' guitar as part of the ritual to summon Killabilly.]] |
| 262 | * OminousLatinChanting: Done while summoning the Dark Purveyors. |
| 263 | * PoorCommunicationKills: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:He developed a crush on Juliet because she stood up for him, yet he never once made a move in actually talking to her. The final straw for his sanity was learning Juliet started dating Nick, pushing him into full-blown misanthropic villainy and driving him to unleash a ZombieApocalypse just to hurt everyone who wronged him, including Juliet.]] It's made clear that, [[spoiler:had he actively tried to befriend Juliet instead of pursuing revenge]], the game's events would've never happened and his life would've been much better off. |
| 264 | * SelfServingMemory: He thinks that [[spoiler:Juliet "rejected" him by dating Nick. The flashbacks are mostly him watching Juliet from afar, and she's totally unaware of him since she's (naturally) busy with her own life. He also sees Nick as one of his abusers by virtue of being a jock, even though Nick doesn't know who Swan is or even shown interacting with him in any capacity.]] |
| 265 | * StalkerWithACrush: Justified and played for drama. [[spoiler:He was constantly bullied by his school's jocks for being a {{Goth}} teen, until Juliet saw and defended him from his bullies. This caused him to fall in love with her, but it's implied his bullying left him too shy to try to talk to her, so he instead stalked Juliet with the hopes that she'd eventually notice him. When he finds out that Juliet is dating Nick, a jock, he completely snaps and plots his massive plan of revenge. It's also implied, through the Dark Purveyors' misogynistic insults, that his stalking caused him to [[LovingAShadow fall in love with the idea of Juliet]] instead of actually getting to know her.]] |
| 266 | * SweetTooth: His title card reveals his favorite food is Pez candy. |
| 267 | * TakeThat: |
| 268 | ** He's a villain named "Swan" associated with the supernatural... [[Literature/{{Twilight}} huh]]. |
| 269 | ** He could also be seen as a jab to the EmoTeen. He's a melodramatic, pasty-skinned teenager who dresses himself in black, and while school bullying is a very serious issue, he proceeds to use his own suffering as an excuse to summon the Dark Purveyors and make everyone else suffer via ZombieApocalypse. The fact that [[spoiler:he decides to include Juliet, his crush, for something that was entirely in his head]] doesn't make him sympathetic in the least, instead painting him as being a whiny person who decided to hurt the world out of sheer spite. |
| 270 | * TheUnfought: Despite being the main antagonist, Swan is never fought as a boss. [[spoiler:He kills himself to summon Killabilly, the true final boss.]] |
| 271 | * UngratefulBastard: Juliet stood up for him against his bullies, [[spoiler:but instead of being thankful, he attempts to destroy the world because he viewed her dating somebody else as a "betrayal."]] |
| 272 | * WhosLaughingNow: Swan's reactions to his whole world being zombified boils down to this, since he thinks he's getting justified revenge on everyone who's wronged him, [[spoiler:including Juliet, who he believes rejected him by dating Nick]]. |
| 273 | * WishfulProjection: [[spoiler: He became infatuated with Juliet after she stood up for him, but never actually spoke to her after this. He instead chose to pine from afar and hoped she would eventually notice him. Unfortunately, Swan's love turned into hate after she started dating Nick, who was part of the clique that bullied him the most. Swan had no escape from the reminders that Juliet was no longer available to him, and this finally pushed him over the edge and convinced him to release the undead from Rotten World.]] |
| 274 | * XanatosGambit: His ritual is guaranteed to be complete one way or another. |

| 284 | The Zombie of Zombies, summoned by Swan after the five Dark Purveyors are sacrificed. |
| 285 | ---- |
| 286 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: He claims to love Juliet. She clearly doesn't reciprocate. |
| 287 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Easily the single biggest zombie seen in the whole game. |
| 288 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: |
| 289 | ** In the initial battle, his eyes are the weak point. |
| 290 | ** Later, to truly kill him, Juliet must destroy his heart. |
| 291 | * BigEater: If his massive gut doesn't tip you off, the fact that one of his quotes mentions loving cheeseburgers will. Then there's the whole "tries to pick up Juliet and pop her in his mouth like a mint" thing. |
| 292 | * CarFu: Throws cars at long range and spawns zombies driving cars up close. |
| 293 | * CoolShades: Has a nice pair of Elvis shades... which get trashed during the first phase of the fight (well, you ''are'' [[EyeScream blasting him in the eyes]]). |
| 294 | * DumbMuscle: He's not too smart; in fact, for Juliet, this is a classic example of having to outsmart a foe you can't outfight. It is kept vague as to whether or not Swan is in control of him (since his zombified corpse is its core) or if he's an AlmightyIdiot. |
| 295 | * EatenAlive: Failing a QTE during his fight leads to him eating Juliet. |
| 296 | * ElvisImpersonator: Well, if you're fighting musically-themed boss zombies, it's only fitting that they would end on a zombie based on the King of Rock n' Roll. |
| 297 | * EvilSoundsDeep: By virtue of being ''fucking huge.'' |
| 298 | * EyeBeams: A giant zombie ElvisImpersonator is weird enough that it's not even surprising he's got these. |
| 299 | * EyeScream: You have to shoot him in the eyes during the first phase of the fight. |
| 300 | * FanDisservice: He's a morbidly obese zombie in a tight outfit that shows off his hairy chest and many fat rolls. As if that weren't enough, he's also got long dirty nails and an even longer tongue. |
| 301 | * FatBastard: His propensity for evil is directly proportionate to his hideously bulging gut. |
| 302 | * FinalBoss: Even though Swan is the BigBad, his plan leads up to Killabilly being the last fight of the game. |
| 303 | * {{Fingore}}: You can cut off his fingers, although he'll regrow them. |
| 304 | * NumberOfTheBeast: He's stated to be 666 years old. |
| 305 | * OverlyLongTongue: He occasionally uses it to attack and, yes, it's exactly as disgusting as you think. |
| 306 | * PermaStubble: His face is covered in a thorny, uneven mullet that crawls down his chin onto his hairy chest. |
| 307 | * PunnyName: His name is a dark play on "rockabilly." |
| 308 | ** It might also be a reference to ''Film/KillBill''. |
| 309 | * PsychopathicManchild: He has a very childlike personality and wants Juliet dead. |
| 310 | * SealedEvilInACan: Initially sealed away, he can only return to the world of the living when the Dark Purveyors are sacrificed first. |
| 311 | * UndeadAbomination: Killabilly is a massive, god-like entity summoned from Rotten World from the corpses of all zombies slain by "the pawn" (Juliet) and the corpse of the summoner (Swan). |
| 312 | * WalkingSpoiler: He's not brought up prior to the sixth stage of the game, and mentioning anything about him spoils the fact that the Dark Purveyors are willingly dying in battle against Juliet in order to summon him. |

| 318 | A group of five powerful zombie rock lords summoned by Swan from Rotten World to spread the ZombieApocalypse across San Romero. |
| 319 | ---- |
| 320 | * ArcVillain: Each of the Dark Purveyors act as the boss of each stage [[spoiler:with Killabilly as the Final Boss]]. Zed is fought at the end of the main campus, Vikke is at the Stadium, Mariska is at O'Bannon Farm, Josey is at Fulci Fun Center and Lewis at the Cathedral. |
| 321 | * CoDragons: They all answer to Swan equally since he was the one who summoned them, leading the zombie hordes all across San Romero High and [[spoiler:willingly allowing themselves to be sacrificed to summon Killabilly]]. |
| 322 | * ColorCodedCharacters: Their auras are color-coded in the cutscene where Swan summons them. Zed is red, Vikke is blue, Mariska is green, Josey is purple and Lewis is yellow. |
| 323 | * EvilIsBigger: A [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/lollipopchainsaw/images/6/63/Size_Comparison.png/revision/latest?cb=20130812175205 height comparison]] shows that Zed and Mariska are taller than Juliet, with Juliet coming up to Zed's shoulders, implying this to be the case for all Dark Purveyors. They're also working for Swan in bringing about the ZombieApocalypse across San Romero ForTheEvulz. |
| 324 | * ForTheEvulz: They all want to unleash HellOnEarth for no other reason than because they can. [[spoiler:They don't even mind getting killed by Juliet to summon Killabilly, implying that their deaths are only temporary.]] |
| 325 | * HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: All of them get sliced to pieces by Juliet's big attacks, and she needs to do this multiple times to make it stick. |
| 326 | * MeaningfulName: "Purveyor" refers to a person or group that spreads or promotes an idea, view, etc. The Dark Purveyors want to spread the ZombieApocalypse across San Romero so Swan can take revenge against everyone who wronged him, [[spoiler:including Juliet herself, who apparently "rejected" him by dating Nick]]. |
| 327 | * MusicalAssassin: They fight exclusively with musical instruments, and are totally themed around genres of music to boot. |
| 328 | * OminousLatinChanting: Whenever one is killed, they say, "Meus Vita, Rege, pro nefario coepto!" [[spoiler:This means, "My life, O King, for your evil plan!", foreshadowing that they are dying willingly.]] |
| 329 | * OurZombiesAreDifferent: Sentient, super-powered and require a powerful ritual to be brought into the human realm. |
| 330 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: With the exception of Mariska, they all make aggressively misogynistic comments towards Juliet. |
| 331 | * QuirkyMinibossSquad: They each carry their own themes and personalities, all [[CardCarryingVillain Card-Carrying]] bordering on LaughablyEvil and act as {{Arc Villain}}s, though they are still very much a threat to the world. |
| 332 | * RevenantZombie: While all zombies have some level of sentience, the Purveyors are much more powerful, Rotten World's DemonLordsAndArchdevils leading the other zombies in a mass invasion of the living world. They each have their own arsenal of weapons and unholy powers, are much more intelligent and are ''way'' harder to kill. |
| 333 | * RottenRockAndRoll: They're evil zombies themed after various different rock genres. |
| 334 | * TeensAreMonsters: They're all 18 years old according to the Zombie Album, making them teenagers like Juliet [[YoungerthanTheyLook despite looking like they could be college students or older]]. They're also Dark Purveyors working for Swan and are bosses that Juliet must kill to save San Romero. |
| 335 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Swan. [[spoiler:They're perfectly willing to die for the sake of his goals.]] |
| 336 | * WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody: They keep fighting even after Juliet saws them to pieces. However, they can only take so much before they die. |
| 337 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite being zombie demi-gods, they're all only 18. |

| 343 | The punk rock zombie. |
| 344 | ---- |
| 345 | * AnimalMotifs: Roosters. Nick insults him by comparing his mohawk to a rooster's comb, he uses his loud voice as a weapon against Juliet, and the second part of his theme almost sounds like a clucking chicken. |
| 346 | * AtomicFBomb: Being a very loud-mouthed punk zombie, he drops these constantly. His introduction has him yelling "'''PISS OFF!!'''" and blowing Juliet away, and many of his battle quotes are shouted at the top of his lungs. |
| 347 | --> "'''COCKSUCKER!!'''"\ |
| 348 | "'''FUCKING BITCH!!'''"\ |
| 349 | "'''STUPID COOZE!!'''"\ |
| 350 | "'''VANILLA SLUT!!'''" |
| 351 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: His intro card says he enjoys torturing small animals and his portrait has a dead rat in his mouth. Juliet lampshades this. |
| 352 | --> '''Juliet:''' "Torturing small animals"?! What kind of whackjob waterboards Chip and Dale? That makes guyliner here the most uncoolest dude ever! |
| 353 | * BigWordShout: He can actually [[WordsCanBreakMyBones weaponize]] this. |
| 354 | * BloodKnight: He enjoys the fight with Juliet a lot more than the other villains. |
| 355 | * BodyMotifs: Hands. His jacket emblem is of a hand [[FlippingTheBird flipping the bird]] and he dies with his severed arm presenting his middle finger to the camera. This might symbolize the offensive, rebellious nature of punk rock. |
| 356 | * ClusterFBomb: In a game not shy about its swear words, Zed is an endless stream of profanity. Justified in that he [[WordsCanBreakMyBones weaponizes]] this. |
| 357 | * CombatSadomasochist: Ironically, when Juliet deals the final blow, he screams in genuine pain and fear. But before that... |
| 358 | -->'''Zed''': ''(after pushing himself back together once he's cut in half)'' YOU THINK THAT HURTS ME?! ''[[TooMuchInformation I JUST JIZZED A LITTLE!]]'' |
| 359 | * DeadlyDisc: Can throw red energy disks. |
| 360 | * DeathFromAbove: One of his more damaging attacks is an overhead strike with his mic. |
| 361 | * DelinquentHair: Sports a ''[[ImprobableHairstyle huge]]'' mohawk. Juliet actually has to avoid it. |
| 362 | * EvilBrit: Zed is based on the punk revolution in Britain. He's dressed like a skinhead, has [[OopNorth northern pronunciation]] of "fucking face", and says both "Never mind the bollocks, here's your death," and "London is calling," in reference to the Music/SexPistols and the Music/TheClash respectively. Considering he speaks with an [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent American accent]] and is voiced by [[Music/MindlessSelfIndulgence Jimmy Euringer]], he may just be faking an accent out of an admiration for the bands. |
| 363 | * EvilIsBigger: A [[https://lollipopchainsaw.fandom.com/wiki/File:Size_Comparison.png height comparison]] shows that he's taller than Juliet, with her coming up to his shoulders. |
| 364 | * EvilIsHammy: As a character based on [[EvilBrit the British punk revolution]], much of his dialogue consists of loud, curse-laden vocals and screams. He's also a violent member of the Dark Purveyors. |
| 365 | * EvilRedhead: Has a red mohawk and is one of the Dark Purveyors. |
| 366 | * FlashStep: Moves fast enough to basically teleport, using it to dodge attacks and confuse the player. |
| 367 | * FlippingTheBird: During his defeat, his ''severed hand'' throws up the middle finger. |
| 368 | * {{Guyliner}}: Nick points out that Zed has multiple piercings and wears makeup as part of his aesthetic. Juliet also calls him "guyliner" as an insult out of disgust towards his hobby of "[[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals torturing small animals]]". |
| 369 | * HellBentForLeather: Wears a long leather jacket with a middle finger emblazoned on the back. It's the only thing Nick ''compliments'' him on. |
| 370 | -->'''Nick''': Nice leather vest. I mean, seriously -- it's actually kind of nice. |
| 371 | * IAmVeryBritish: He uses British slang and appears to have northern pronunciation for some of his swears. However, he still speaks with an American accent, leading to some questions on his actual nationality. |
| 372 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses his mic stand as a staff. Screaming obscenities also becomes a projectile attack for him. |
| 373 | * ImprovFu: Stated by Morikawa to be the weakest of the Dark Purveyors, but is by no means dumb. He uses his mic as a bludgeon and later a ''laser blade'', and makes it as hard as possible for his enemy to hit him by flash-stepping all over the place and jumping around on speakers. One of his strategies is actually pretty smart: positioning himself on top of a giant speaker, meaning Juliet can't reach him until she saws it down, leaving her wide open to all of his ranged attacks. |
| 374 | * InkSuitActor: Bears a striking resemblance to his English VA. Most likely intentional, as said VA also composed the game's boss themes, including Zed's. |
| 375 | * InopportuneVoiceCracking: His voice breaks from time to time and is higher-pitched than the other Dark Purveyors. |
| 376 | * {{Jerkass}}: Loud, aggressive, sexist [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and likes to torture small animals.]] |
| 377 | * LaserBlade: After Juliet cuts his mic in half, a laser appears where the rest of it used to be when he swings it. |
| 378 | * LeanAndMean: Zed is very skinny and wears clothes that are too tight for him, which Nick lampshades. He's also loud, aggressive, foul-mouthed and sexist. |
| 379 | * LeParkour: Shades of this as he jumps and tumbles to dodge attacks. |
| 380 | * MagicHair: Zed's mohawk can create a pair of saw-like blades that chase Juliet. One of the achievements is redirecting these blades back at Zed by diving out of the way before they attack Juliet from behind. |
| 381 | * NoIndoorVoice: Almost every line of his is shouted at maximum volume, keeping with his punk rock aesthetic and fighting style. |
| 382 | * NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: ZigZagged. Zed is based on the British punk movement, uses British terminology and slang, and dresses like a skinhead/British punk. However, he speaks with an American accent and his use of British slang stems from The Sex Pistols' album ''Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols''. Considering the comedic style of the game, he may just be faking an accent or using the bare minimum of British slang out of admiration for the band. |
| 383 | * OhCrap: Screams that his wounds "''REALLY FUCKING HURT''" as Juliet puts him down for good. |
| 384 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: A lot of his dialogue consists of misogynistic slurs at Juliet's expense. |
| 385 | * PullingThemselvesTogether: The first two times he's cut in half. |
| 386 | * TheQuincyPunk: He's a loud, aggressive, foul-mouthed and sexist zombie who dresses like a British punk and [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals likes torturing small animals]]. He's also a Dark Purveyor who helped [[BigBad Swan]] unleash a ZombieApocalypse for no reason other than [[ForTheEvulz because he could]]. Fittingly, he's voiced by Jimmy Euringer of Music/MindlessSelfIndulgence, who's known for his screeching, intense, profanity-laden vocals. |
| 387 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Red mohawk, black and red tartan trousers, black shirt and he is a Dark Purveyor. |
| 388 | * RedIsViolent: He has a red mohawk, wears black and red tartan trousers, and is covered in blood. He's a loud, aggressive, sexist and foul-mouthed Purveyor who [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals likes to torture small animals]]. |
| 389 | * SirSwearsALot: There are very few lines of his dialogue that aren't peppered with obscenities. |
| 390 | * SleevesAreForWimps: Wears a sleeveless leather jacket as part of his design. |
| 391 | * StarterVillain: He's the first boss, and teaches you that just because Juliet slices a Dark Purveyor into pieces, that doesn't mean the fight's over. |
| 392 | * StrawMisogynist: Implied, as a lot of his battle quotes are extremely offensive and sexist insults directed at Juliet. Fittingly, he gets a KarmicDeath by being sawed in half ''thrice'' by Juliet while screaming his wounds "REALLY FUCKING HURT". |
| 393 | * TeenyWeenie: Implied. Nick insults him by saying that his penis must be tiny if Zed is that comfortable wearing clothes that tight. |
| 394 | * WordsCanBreakMyBones: Some of the words he shouts turn into giant letters that can hurt you on contact. |
| 395 | * WowingCthulhu: Inverted. He was actually quite impressed by Swan's murderous madness and wanton acts of violence, teamed with the desire to otherwise break, choke and throttle all life on Earth. |
| 396 | -->'''Zed''': I think I dig this kid! A real fuckin' headcase! |

| 402 | |
| 403 | The Viking metal zombie. |
| 404 | ---- |
| 405 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: [[spoiler:While dying, he laughs at Juliet's quip about Viking brains being good for the complexion.]] |
| 406 | * AllAnimalsAreDogs: [[spoiler:Yumil yelps like a dog after being dispatched by Juliet.]] |
| 407 | * AllDrummersAreAnimals: Has a feral appearance, helped by his pet Yumil. |
| 408 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Some of Yumil's hobbies include disemboweling, drinking blood, and... balancing a ball on his nose. |
| 409 | * BearsAreBadNews: Wears a still-living bear pelt named Yumil. [[spoiler:Upon his defeat, Yumil lunges at Juliet, but [[OneHitKill she puts it down with a kick]].]] |
| 410 | * TheBrute: Compared to the other bosses, whose attacks display some strategy, Vikke relies on sheer muscle, giant sweeping attacks, and being able to completely [[NoSell block]] Juliet's attacks when properly braced. |
| 411 | * {{Cephalothorax}}: In his third phase, his decapitated head turns giant and ''eats his own dead body''. |
| 412 | * CoolShip: A Viking ship that flies in a lightning storm. |
| 413 | * DetachmentCombat: After Juliet cuts him in half at the waist, his legs and upper body continue attacking separately. |
| 414 | * EvilIsHammy: He's loud and boisterous, and like a warrior, he throws out various battle cries, which is a given since his musical motif is [[HeavyMithril Viking metal]]. |
| 415 | * FatBastard: Nick even calls him one during his boss fight. |
| 416 | * GratuitousForeignLanguage: He speaks Icelandic. |
| 417 | * HornyVikings: Tries to act like a Viking berserker, but his weird battle cries (seriously, using "I'm A Little Teapot"?) ruin the image a bit. |
| 418 | * IWasBeatenByAGirl: [[spoiler:His final moments upon defeat have him expressing his shock over being beaten by a "little girl" like Juliet]]. |
| 419 | --> '''Vikke:''' Impossible! I can't be beaten by a little girl! I'm a warrior! |
| 420 | * LiveMinkCoat: He wears his pet bear named Yumil, who is very much alive and dangerous. [[spoiler:After the fight, Yumil tries to avenge Vikke, but Juliet quickly defeats it with a kick to the head.]] |
| 421 | * ProphetEyes: Sports a pair of white eyes, with the pupils being a barely-visible grey. |
| 422 | * ShockAndAwe: By striking his drums with his sticks, he can produce lightning. Most of his attacks also produce electricity. It's to the extent that Juliet will actually have to dodge lightning bolts as his ship flies over the city. |
| 423 | * ThisCannotBe: He's shocked that a "little girl" like Juliet managed to chop him up and not the other way around. |
| 424 | * VillainousBreakdown: "[[ThisCannotBe Impossible]]!! I can't be beaten by a little girl! I'm a ''warrior''!" |

| 426 | |
| 427 | [[folder:Mariska]] |
| 428 | [[quoteright:344:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mariska_page_profile.jpg]] |
| 429 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkenoWatanabe (JP), Creator/ShawneeSmith (EN) |
| 430 | |
| 431 | The psychedelic zombie. |
| 432 | ---- |
| 433 | * AffablyEvil: Mariska is shown to be the least violent of the Dark Purveyors, being a hippie and all. She is still a Dark Purveyor and intent on killing Juliet, but she's just so mellow about it. |
| 434 | * AttractiveZombie: Downplayed, but she [[https://www.thegamer.com/uh-oh-15-times-you-were-attracted-to-zombie-characters-in-games/ retains some of her good looks in spite of being a zombie]], and is quite popular with fans. |
| 435 | * BossBanter: Like Zed, she'll talk to Juliet a lot during the fight. Notably, when she's knocked down, she'll go into a fast-paced impassioned speech in a low voice about... something hippie-related. |
| 436 | * BubbleGun: She weaponizes bubbles for most of her attacks. These bubbles trap Juliet and decrease her health until she frees herself. |
| 437 | * ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth: Her arena sports this motif, and it actually features in one of her attacks--she will send pink butterfly swarms at Juliet that will slowly do damage until shaken off. |
| 438 | * CarFu: Her copies often try to run Juliet over with combines. |
| 439 | * DiagonalCut: The cut that eventually takes her out. |
| 440 | * DissonantSerenity: Acts like this for the entire boss fight, and is completely calm before getting decapitated. Given her theme, she's probably stoned off of her undead ass. |
| 441 | * EvilLaugh: Actually pulls off a pretty good one, shrieking with laughter whenever she's hit. |
| 442 | * EvilSmellsBad: Both Juliet and Nick comment that she stinks, though this may have more to do with her being a dirty hippie smoking drugs than simply being evil. |
| 443 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: Unlike the other Dark Purveyours, who die while either screaming in agony or [[ThisCannotBe expressing shock upon defeat]] upon being chainsawed in half, she just smiles and continues playing her sitar before Juliet [[OffWithHisHead decapitates her]]. |
| 444 | --> '''Mariska:''' Heavy... Peace out. ''(smiles and does the peace sign)'' WAY out... |
| 445 | * FlippingTheBird: Does this once while monologuing. |
| 446 | * FloatingInABubble: How she travels. She can also trap Juliet in one. |
| 447 | * FrankensteinsMonster: She physically resembles this trope to an extent. While she lacks the nails on the sides of her neck, her headband resembles the stitches keeping together Frankenstein's head, and her various body parts are stitched together, giving a cobbled appearance. |
| 448 | * FriendlyEnemy: "Ah, sister Juliet! And brother Nick!" It's also notable that she never makes misogynistic insults towards Juliet like the other Purveyors do. |
| 449 | ** She doesn't quite qualify for TokenGoodTeammate, given that she's still trying to kill Juliet and spread the zombie plague for Swan. However, she keeps Rosalind out of the fight, and her intro card doesn't list ''any'' negative qualities beyond "bad fashion sense" (the others all have evil themes such as screams of agony, torturing small animals, etc.). |
| 450 | * GiantHandsOfDoom: Conjures a giant version of her hand to attack Juliet with. |
| 451 | * GlasgowGrin: It appears to be stapled shut. |
| 452 | * GranolaGirl: Her association with the O'Bannon farm gives this impression. However, keep in mind that she's a zombie from the game's equivalent of {{Hell}}, so she is very much a {{Horror Hippie|s}}. |
| 453 | * HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Juliet saws her in half twice. Then she does this to ''herself'', tearing her body apart with her bare hands and then rejuvenating the lost halves with magic. However, what finally ends her is a DiagonalCut and [[OffWithHisHead a quick decapacitation]]. |
| 454 | * HorrorHippies: She's a villainous zombie NewAgeRetroHippie who works for Swan as a Dark Purveyor. Ironically, the fact that she takes inspiration from the hippie movement means that, of the Dark Purveyors, she's the least violent and psychotic. |
| 455 | * HydraProblem: Whenever she's cut in half, the two halves each turn into a whole Mariska. She even tears herself in half a second and third time after Juliet does for good measure. Juliet resorts to shooting down the copies. |
| 456 | * InstrumentOfMurder: A sitar. |
| 457 | * LevitatingLotusPosition: She's constantly floating while sitting crosslegged throughout most of the fight. |
| 458 | * MacrossMissileMassacre: She is capable of performing this in her third stage by rotating her eight clones to throw them. |
| 459 | * MasterOfIllusion: Juliet has to wake up from rather terrifying illusions that are the results of Mariska's work. |
| 460 | * NewAgeRetroHippie: She's based on PsychedelicRock and the hippie movement, so naturally she dresses like a hippie, with a headband, long hair, a crop top with flowing sleeves and floral-themed bellbottom pants. However, HorrorHippies also applies since she's a member of the Dark Purveyors working for Swan, and one of her powers involves creating really terrifying illusions. |
| 461 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: She's modeled after Music/JanisJoplin. |
| 462 | * OffWithHisHead: How Juliet finishes her off. |
| 463 | * PocketDimension: Pulls Juliet into one for their fight after tricking her... or it's all the drugs talking and the fight is [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind within a really intense drug trip]]. |
| 464 | * PsychedelicRock: Her theme, and she's even called the Psychedelic Zombie on her intro card. |
| 465 | * PsychicPowers: She has abilities like teleportation, telekinesis, psychic barriers (which take the form of a bubble), and very powerful illusions. |
| 466 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only female Dark Purveyor. This is largely due to being modeled after Music/JanisJoplin. |
| 467 | * VSign: Being a hippie, she does this a lot. She also flashes the V-Sign as she dies. |
| 468 | * WakeUpCallBoss: Unlike the other Purveyors, who slowly break down as their fight goes on, Mariska gets more dangerous the further into the fight Juliet gets. Her first form is a joke, but by the second, things get chaotic, with Mariska clones coming after the player in combines and in the smashing cranes from earlier. In her third, all of her clones get health bars rather than being one-hit dummies, she starts generating giant hands to come after the player, and her clones start shooting out missiles by the dozen. |
| 469 | * WhenSheSmiles: Right before Juliet decapitates her. |

| 476 | |
| 477 | The funk zombie. |
| 478 | ---- |
| 479 | * AutoTune: Most of the time. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Juliet thinks he's making fun of]] Creator/StephenHawking. |
| 480 | * BombThrowingAnarchist: He summons 8-bit bombs as a weapon. |
| 481 | * BorrowinSamedi: He's a black zombie with skull makeup and wears a top hat decorated with shiny skulls. Unlike his brethren, he spends the outbreak dancing with disco holograms. |
| 482 | * BrilliantButLazy: He takes Rosalind as a hostage and plans to use her as a bargaining chip when Juliet gets the upper hand, but Gideon frees her before he can do anything. He also never leaves his UFO during either stage of his boss battle. Ultimately, Josey's plan fails because he severely underestimates Juliet (and Gideon) by not giving his all. |
| 483 | * DiscoDan: Introduces himself with a dance number in a bright disco room, and has a retro 80's feel due to his obsession with old video games. |
| 484 | * EnergyWeapon: He'll blast Juliet with beams of light from his keytar. His UFO in the first phase also has a disco ball installed on the bottom that can emit two beams of colorful light that will follow after her. |
| 485 | * EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Constantly sparkles during his cutscene, somehow. |
| 486 | * EvilGenius: Displays more intelligence and technical knowledge than his counterparts, being smart enough to exploit Rosalind as a hostage, and relies extensively on advanced technology during his fight. |
| 487 | * FlyingSaucer: Rides one for each phase. |
| 488 | * {{Funk}}: His musical genre, with a odd mix of techno and disco beats mixed in for good measure. |
| 489 | * HollywoodVoodoo: His design is a cross between this and a {{funk}} musician. |
| 490 | * ILied: When he said [[spoiler:he'd release Rosalind if Juliet beat him]]. |
| 491 | -->'''Josey:''' You trusted what I said?! I'm a mother-freakin' zombie! |
| 492 | * ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Well, just look at him. His outfit is a giant voodoo top hat, a bright pink fur coat, sneakers with heels and a ''diaper with a star on it''. Juliet calls him a pervert almost immediately upon meeting him. |
| 493 | * InstrumentOfMurder: A ''keytar''. |
| 494 | * LightIsNotGood: His musical theme revolves around {{Funk}} music, his boss fight takes place in a brightly-lit area, and a few of his attacks involve light and elements of {{Disco}}. He's also a Dark Purveyor working with Swan in unleashing a ZombieApocalypse. |
| 495 | * OhCrap: He has a look of utter horror and can only throw his hands up helplessly before Juliet carves up his flying saucer with him in it. |
| 496 | * PaidHarem: Has two scantily-clad women on his flying saucer. |
| 497 | * PinkIsErotic: Downplayed. Josey is a pleasure-seeker who makes sexual remarks towards Juliet (she even calls him a perv) and wears a bright pink fur coat with a pink star, a pink top hat, pink high-heeled sneakers, a diaper with a pink star on it, and wields a pink keytar with a pink microphone attached. His arena also has a pink and purple aesthetic with pink lighting, his keytar fires pink laser beams, and his mini UFO has pink neon lights. |
| 498 | -->'''Josey''': What's the matter, baby?! You didn't like our phone S-E-X-X-X, hmm?! That's a pity.\ |
| 499 | '''Juliet''': Umm... Let me think... Dude, give us Rosalind, now. And quit making fun of Stephen Hawking. He's a great man, you perv!\ |
| 500 | '''Josey''': I'm the pervert? You're the one with a head hanging from your hip. |
| 501 | * PrecisionFStrike: Notable, because he always replaces the F strike itself with "[[{{Pun}} funk]]." |
| 502 | -->"Funk me..." |
| 503 | * PsychoPink: He's a member of the Dark Purveyors and has a pink color scheme. |
| 504 | * RealityWarper: Constantly uses an arcade cabinet to change the real world into one of his video games to impede Juliet's progress through his high-rise. His second phase somehow takes place on a UFO flying in space, despite it making no logical sense for this to happen after he and Juliet go through a hole in the ceiling. |
| 505 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Has dark red eyes under that garish face paint. |
| 506 | * SeriousBusiness: When it comes to video games. |
| 507 | * SmugSnake: With Rosalind as his hostage, he confidently tells Juliet to surrender. His attitude quickly changes when Gideon reveals he's hitched a ride on the UFO and proceeds to save Rosalind, foiling his plan. |
| 508 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: Tosses out pixelated {{Cartoon Bomb}}s throughout the first phase of his boss battle. He'll either throw them out one at a time from a great height or lower his UFO to surround himself with a circle of bombs. |
| 509 | * WhileRomeBurns: He spends the entire outbreak partying at the Fulci Fun Center and challenges Juliet to a fight after using Rosalind as bait to get her attention. |
| 510 | * WinToExit: Can trap people in video games (that resemble retro games like ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}'' and ''VideoGame/PacMan'', but with zombies) that can only be escaped by winning. |

| 516 | |
| 517 | The rock and roll zombie. |
| 518 | ---- |
| 519 | * AlliterativeName: '''L'''ewis '''L'''egend. |
| 520 | * AnimalMotifs: [[CruelElephant Elephants]]. |
| 521 | ** His jacket emblem reads "Elephant Rock", his mech - called "Ellyphant" - resembles and sounds like an elephant, and the most subtle one comes from his hair, which is often described as an "elephant trunk pompadour hairstyle." |
| 522 | ** Ironically, elephants usually symbolize the removal of evil and obstacles, while he's one of the Dark Purveyors spreading the ZombieApocalypse. |
| 523 | ** One of the achievements for defeating him is called "Elephant Tamer." |
| 524 | * BadassBiker: Comes in on a flaming motorcycle during his introduction, and the first phase of his fight is spent trying to get him off of the bike so that Juliet can properly slice him up. |
| 525 | * BadassDriver: After getting his mech's legs chopped off, Lewis makes it grow wheels and starts driving around the arena at high speeds. |
| 526 | * BaddieFlattery: |
| 527 | ** He comments on Juliet's [[SirSwearsALot foul-mouthed]] defiance of Swan while giving her the [[GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger pointer finger]]. |
| 528 | ---> '''Lewis Legend:''' Ah, cocky little whore. I like that. |
| 529 | ** Then when Juliet challenges him to a fight by vowing to "Eff. [Him]. Up,", he spouts this line: |
| 530 | ---> '''Lewis Legend:''' I love your passion, babe. Looks like we could make beautiful ''[[LargeHam DEATH]]'' together! |
| 531 | * {{BFG}}: His massive guitar doubles as a machine gun, and there's also a number of huge assault weapons on his motorcycle. |
| 532 | * BladeLock: During his confrontation with Juliet, he ends up locking his spiked guitar with her chainsaw, emitting SwordSparks. A cosmic background briefly appears during the lock before they separate. |
| 533 | * BrightIsNotGood: He's associated with the color yellow and he's referred to as the most sadistic of the Dark Purveyors. |
| 534 | * CombatPragmatist: While Juliet is talking to Swan, Lewis suddenly fires at her from off-screen. After their introductions and banter, he starts shooting as soon as he's finished talking. |
| 535 | * CoolBike: With an elephant on the back. It transforms to become a more hulking and dangerous mech. The bike itself resembles a Harley Davidson Heritage Classic motorcycle. |
| 536 | * CruelElephant: His motorcycle resembles an elephant when turned into a MiniMecha, and his leather jacket has an "Elephant Rock" patch on the back. He is also the most sadistic of the Dark Purveyors, being a trigger-happy zombie who, according to his title card, [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming is influenced by screams of agony]]. |
| 537 | * DarkIsEvil: He's the last of the Dark Purveyors to be confronted by Juliet, and is fought in a dark, underground cathedral. His hair, clothes, and guitar are also black or otherwise dark-colored. |
| 538 | * DelinquentHair: He sports an elephant trunk pompadour hairstyle and his design is based on the 1950s greaser culture in the United States and the Bōsōzokus in Japan. |
| 539 | * TheDragon: The last Dark Purveyor, and the one that Swan kept by his side near the end of the day. Naturally, his status as Swan's Dragon makes him a tough MarathonBoss that takes ''seven finishers'' to kill off. |
| 540 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: His introduction cutscene has him riding on a flaming elephant-themed motorcycle, shooting at Juliet with his machine gun-guitar in wild abandon. It pegs him as a HotBlooded, trigger-happy character who is also the most sadistic of the Dark Purveyors. |
| 541 | * EvilIsHammy: While half of his banter is flirtatious smooth-talking, the other half is boisterous shouting. |
| 542 | * EvilSoundsDeep: He speaks with a growling, raspy, menacing tone of voice that wouldn't be out of place in the HeavyMetal scene. |
| 543 | * GatlingGood: On his elephant mech. His guitar also has a built-in machine gun that he can fire by strumming it. |
| 544 | * GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: His introduction proper involves him giving Juliet the pointer finger. Even his folder image has him pointing at something. |
| 545 | * GreaserDelinquents: Being based on RockAndRoll, he appears as a greaser with a [[DelinquentHair pompadour]] and a [[HellBentForLeather traditional leather jacket]]. He also rides a Harley Davidson motorcycle named "Ellyphant", which can turn into a MiniMecha in later boss stages. |
| 546 | * HellBentForLeather: Unlike Zed, who wears a sleeveless leather coat, he wears a leather jacket as part of his [[GreaserDelinquents greaser]] getup and RockAndRoll theme. |
| 547 | * ICallItVera: Refers to his elephant mecha as "Ellyphant." |
| 548 | * ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: His gun-guitar, as well as his elephant mecha. |
| 549 | * InstrumentOfMurder: His electric guitar, which has [[SpikesOfVillainy spikes]] and a [[GatlingGood built-in machine gun]]. |
| 550 | %%* {{Jerkass}} |
| 551 | * LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: One of his listed influences is "your screams of agony." |
| 552 | * MacrossMissileMassacre: From his elephant mecha. |
| 553 | * MarathonBoss: Compared to the other Dark Purveyors who go down in 2-3 finishers, Lewis takes ''seven'' finishers to finally bring him down. Even Nick stops being scared, and starts getting annoyed that he's still going. |
| 554 | -->'''Nick:''' Dude! [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Black Knight]]! You got no legs! ''Stop already!'' |
| 555 | * MiniMecha: After Juliet trashes his bike, he turns it into a mechanical elephant. |
| 556 | * MotorcycleJousting: The first stage ends when Lewis charges Juliet to swing his guitar at her, but she uses her chainsaw to flip the bike and knock him off. |
| 557 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He uses a misogynistic slur against Juliet in his introduction. |
| 558 | * PreAsskickingOneLiner: What starts his boss fight is this memorable line: |
| 559 | --> '''Lewis Legend:''' Rock and roll is here to stay, ''you're not!'' |
| 560 | * PunnyName: His elephant-themed mecha/bike is called "Ellyphant", and his AnimalMotifs involve elephants. |
| 561 | * RockAndRoll: His musical genre, and he loudly proclaims that "rock and roll is here to stay." |
| 562 | * SpikesOfVillainy: His guitar has spikes on it. |
| 563 | * SuddenlyShouting: During his banter with Juliet, he goes from flirtatious smooth-talking to shouting murderously at the top of his lungs while shooting wantonly with his [[InstrumentOfMurder guitar-gun]]. |
| 564 | --> '''Lewis Legend:''' I've got a feeling when I start playing, you're just gonna '''''DIE!''''' |
| 565 | * TattooedCrook: He has tattoos on his exposed chest. He's also a Dark Purveyor and one of the most sadistic members. |
| 566 | * VillainousBreakdown: Starts to lose his cool as his boss battle drags on, going from boasting and taunts to [[ThisCannotBe furious screams of denial]]. Even his attacks become wilder. |
