12!!Kingdom of Kupa Keep
13[[folder:Grand Wizard Eric Cartman]]
14[[quoteright:301:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grand_wizard_king_cartman.png]]
15* AdaptationalHeroism: Who would've guessed ''[[{{FatBastard}} Cartman]]'', of all people could ever take the role of the BigGood, rather than the TokenEvilTeammate? Well, the big good of the Kingdom of Kupa Keep at least, and [[AntiHero even that]] [[GoodIsNotNice is]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold relative]].
16* AerosolFlamethrower: His Flame Spray ability.
17* TheArchmage: Or as he states it, "Grand Wizard".
18* BigBrotherMentor: Early in the game, Cartman serves as a cross between this and an EvilMentor to the New Kid, being the one who teaches the New Kid how to fight in the Tutorial as well giving him his first two lessons in.. er.. [[{{Fartillery}} 'magic'.]]
19* BigEater: Cartman has always been one, but his special passive ability is that he will get double the effect when using a healing or buffing item.
20* BigGood: Yes, ''[[{{FatBastard}} Cartman]]'' of all people is the BigGood in this game. He's [[GoodIsNotNice not an angel]], but still way more heroic than usual.
21* CallBack: His "Curse" ability is him using his long-dormant V-Chip from TheMovie.
22* ClusterFBomb: His "Curse" ability is a literal example of this; he activates his [[WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut V-Chip]] by swearing a lot.
23* DirtyCoward: In the final battle, he decides to sit on the sidelines, [[DownplayedTrope and only steps in to help you when he's the last man standing.]]
24* {{Fartillery}}: He's a master of this. He's also the one to teach the player the first two fart powers of the game.
25* FartsOnFire: One of his attacks. He also utilizes this in his boss battle, resulting in a [[spoiler:[[BeamOWar Fart-O-War]] with the New Kid.]]
26* FatBestFriend: Usually a subversion, but in this game and [[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole the]] [[VideoGame/SouthParkPhoneDestroyer sequels]], Cartman can be considered this towards the New Kid, seeing how much he went out of his way to recruit him into the Fighters of Zaron game, [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe and the New Kid appears to acknowledge this]] [[UndyingLoyalty by giving Cartman his loyalty and trust]] [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe in return for all he's done for him.]]
27* GlassCannon: As strong as Cartman's magic is, his defense and HP are quite low. [[{{Irony}} Ironic, given his girth.]]
28* ItAmusedMe: His reasoning behind having the New Kid beat up Clyde in the tutorial amounted to this.
29** Pretty much his reasoning behind mostly everything, actually.
30* {{Kamehamehadoken}}: He apparently [[WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut never removed that V-Chip]].
31* LightningFireJuxtaposition: Curse (Lightning), Flame Strike and Burning Cloud (Fire).
32* MeaningfulName: Grand Wizard was a title given to leaders of TheKlan, a fitting title for the ruler of the [[FunWithAcronyms Kingdom of Kupa Keep]].
33* TheNicknamer: [[ButThouMust Regardless of what you name your character]], he'll call the New Kid "douchebag".
34* PlayingWithFire: His Flame Strike and [[FartsOnFire Burning Cloud]] attacks.
35* RankScalesWithAsskicking: As the ruler of the KK Kingdom, he's possibly after TheHero (who haves mana and many fart attacks) the strongest offensively.
36* ShockAndAwe: Courtesy of his V-Chip from the movie.
37* SpotlightStealingSquad: Even though he only joins your party at the end, Cartman's been used as the main icon of the game and is the most prominent character besides Douchebag (who isn't even featured in the box art and in merchandise), for [[BreakoutCharacter obvious reasons]].
38** MentorMascot: His role in the game combined with the facts stated above make him technically count as this.
39* TheSvengali: Kyle certainly believes that Cartman is trying to be this to the New Kid, and considering it's [[{{Jerkass}} Cartman]] we're talking about, Kyle may not be far off.
40* YouHaveFailedMe: Banishes Clyde "from time and space" for failing to guard the Stick of Truth when elves attacked.
41%%* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler:Does it again to Clyde near the climax of the game, this time by [[DisneyVillainDeath kicking him right out of his evil lair]].]] Administrivia/NotThisTrope because Cartman did not make amends with Clyde, then backstab him before kicking him off his lair.

44[[folder:Princess Kenny [=McCormick=]]]
45[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/princess_kenny.png]]
46
47* ActionGirl: Kenny’s female persona Princess Kenny is skilled with the bow and arrow and can command rats and unicorns to fight for her. [[spoiler: She becomes a DarkActionGirl near the end where she becomes the main antagonist and betrays the kids.]]
48* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Princess Kenny's portrayal in this game is more in line with a stereotypical Franchise/DisneyPrincess than her portrayal in the Black Friday episodes, where she was a more [[TheComicallySerious comically serious]] CaptainErsatz of [[Series/GameOfThrones Daenerys Targaryen]] (at least before becoming an anime princess).
49* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:In the Black Friday trilogy, Princess Kenny acted like a stereotypical princess (especially in "anime" mode) and wasn't particularly evil. Here, she's secretly plotting against you for the entire game, and joins Big Bad Government Guy in the end.]]
50* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: While Kenny [=McCormick=] in general is clearly male and Princess Kenny (the roleplay persona) is clearly female, it's left ambiguous whether this indicates any kind of sincere gender fluidity on the real Kenny's part.
51-->'''Cartman:''' [[LampshadeHanging Don't ask why Kenny's playing a chick, that's just how he's rolling right now.]]
52* AmbiguouslyBi: Tells Karen s/he thinks you're cute.
53* {{Animesque}}: Even though she isn't working for Sony anymore, the Princess Kenny anime intro plays [[spoiler:before the final boss battle with her]].
54* TheBeastmaster: She can summon rats or a unicorn as an ally. Subvertable, in that they have a tendency to murder Princess Kenny if she fails her Action Commands.
55* BackFromTheDead: Kenny's special passive ability is an auto-revival after two turns.
56* BadassAdorable: Is clearly trying to be one. Even though she doesn't take on her anime appearance in this game [[spoiler:except before her final boss fight]], Kenny uses some cute and feminine "princess" mannerisms, which are still adorable combined with his usual muffled speech.
57* BigBad: [[spoiler:Played with. She becomes the FinalBoss and the greatest threat in the game, teaming up with Big Bad Government Guy, but her betrayal and sudden backstory reveal come out of nowhere, so it feels a bit like she turned against you for no good reason.]] Which could well be, seeing as this is just Kenny in drag and his parents are alive and well.
58* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:With the Government Guy in the end.]]
59* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler:Throughout the game, "she"'s plotting "her" revenge against humans and elves alike, and betrays you at the last minute.]]
60* ClingyJealousGirl: A [[WholesomeCrossdresser Boy LARPing as a Girl]] variant--if you have her as your partner during the mission where you're acting as a honey trap for Monica, she will threaten to claw her eyes out if she tries anything.
61* CreepyCrossdresser: Mostly {{averted|Trope}}; Kenny's princess getup is legitimately cute and completely hilarious. [[spoiler:Played straight when she becomes a Nazi Zombie, though that was due to the transformation in a Nazi Zombie and had nothing to do with the crossdressing itself.]]
62* CrossDressingVoices: In-universe; underneath the muffling, Kenny is talking in a higher-pitched voice and a more feminine tone than in the series.
63* CuteIsEvil: [[spoiler:She may be a pretty princess as portrayed ([[StylisticSuck poorly]]) by a little boy, but she's a member of the game's BigBadEnsemble. Her final boss battle is even preceded by the obnoxiously adorable Princess Kenny anime intro from "A Song of Ass and Fire", with the music continuing into the battle itself.]]
64* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:As narrated by Morgan Freeman himself, and explained under HalfHumanHybrid below. Of course, since this is just Kenny in a dress and the whole thing is made up, he has no real reason to oppose you, but hey, this is ''South Park''.]]
65* DeathOrGloryAttack: Kenny's strongest special attacks require you to perfectly execute the [=QTEs=] in order to deal full damage and not die in the process.
66* DevouredByTheHorde: Princess Kenny has the ability "Swarm of Rats", in which she summons a huge wave of rats to attack her enemies, but if she fails the prompt then the rats will also devour Princess Kenny.
67* DisneyCreaturesOfTheFarce: Her "Furry Friends" ability has her summon up a swarm of rats by singing.
68* DistractedByTheSexy: Her unique trait, where he shows off [[WholesomeCrossdresser his "boobies"]] to attract anyone towards him.
69* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:After the final battle, she's back at Kupa Keep and writes her betrayal off as [=PMSing=].]]
70* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: One of her attacks is a rainbow blast.
71* {{Expy}}: Not only are Kenny's outfit and wig based on various versions of [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Princess Zelda]], but now she uses a bow too - just like Zelda herself in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl''. [[spoiler:Her transformation into a green-skinned Nazi Zombie as the FinalBoss might even be an analogue to Zelda becoming Ganon's green-skinned "puppet" as one phase of ''Twilight Princess''' own FinalBoss battle, although in this case Kenny is the one in control.]]
72* TheFaceless: You don't see Kenny's face at all in this game. An earlier design for Princess Kenny (under WigDressAccent below) would have averted this.
73* FinalBoss: As [[spoiler:the true heir to the Stick of Truth, it fits. First in her normal form, then as a Nazi Zombie]].
74* GenderFlip: In the trailer for [[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole the sequel]], Kenny switches his alter-ego from the female Princess Kenny to the male Mysterion in a matter of seconds.
75* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:According to Morgan Freeman, Princess Kenny is a half-orc whose parents were killed by both humans and elves and has in fact been slowly biding her time to wreak her vengeance upon both, which explains Princess Kenny's betrayal]].
76* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Kenny is a natural blond as usual (although he isn't shown unhooded), but his awkwardly-placed blonde princess wig is a stereotype of this trope. [[spoiler:This is subverted in-game, where Princess Kenny is far from pure-hearted.]]
77* HighHeelFaceTurn: Subverted and parodied. [[spoiler:She's the only crossdresser in your party (unless you give the New Kid a female outfit too) and she's the one to betray you in the end and become the FinalBoss. You can even earn an achievement by fighting Kenny while dressed as a girl yourself]].
78* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Her "Furry Friends" and "Unicorn Stampede" abilities can kill her instantly if you're not careful.
79* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Parodied. Kenny, as a male, doesn't have boobs, but he flashes them like he does, and it works on everyone he tries it on. It's even his buddy command.
80* IncrediblyConspicuousDrag: Kenny's parka and flat, boyish chest throw off any notion of him being able to actually pass as a cute girl. Everyone is just playing along.
81* InformedAttractiveness: He's just a 10-year-old boy in ([[StylisticSuck poor]]) drag, but is referred to in this game as "the fairest maiden in all the land" and a "beautiful girl", just as he wants to be. Exaggerated with how her DistractedByTheSexy techniques actually ''work'' in battle, as well as her role in a "rape the women" scenario.
82* {{Kawaiiko}}: Kenny acts like a cute, flirtatious teenage girl in this game to fit his princess persona. But since Princess Kenny isn't in her ultra-kawaii anime incarnation and his crossdressing isn't convincing at all, this makes him come across as EndearinglyDorky instead.
83* LightIsNotGood: He's (she's?) a little boy who's [[WholesomeCrossdresser dressing up as a stereotypical princess]] in white and pink and attacks with [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows rainbows]] and unicorns, so surely the Princess is completely benign and won't betray you, right? [[spoiler:Wrong.]]
84* MsFanservice: Parodied to hell and back. Showing a 10-year-old boy's pathetic man-boobs hardly qualifies as fanservice, even if said 10-year-old boy (and anyone who sees his "boobs") thinks it's a prime example of feminine sex appeal.
85* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[spoiler:Nazi Zombie Princess Kenny. Pretty much a Nazi zombie [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Princess Zelda]] [[WholesomeCrossdresser crossplayer]], if you will.]]
86* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Princess Kenny becomes a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Nazi Zombie Princess]] right before the final boss fight. In keeping with this trope and unlike the other Nazi Zombies, she drinks the serum herself to become more powerful.]]
87* PinkMeansFeminine: The only party member who wears pink, and the only one who can be considered remotely "female" in some way.
88* SissyVillain: [[spoiler:The ultimate villain in this epic RPG is a 10-year-old boy dressed up as a pretty princess, whose FinalBoss battle is preceded with a cutesy J-pop theme and who attacks with rainbows and unicorns.]]
89* TheSmurfettePrinciple: {{Parodied|Trope}}. Sorry, none of the Girls join your party. You only get a shoddy crossdresser instead.
90* SoundtrackDissonance: Gets the cutesy J-pop Princess Kenny theme as [[spoiler:her final boss music]], at a moment in the game's story where it doesn't fit at all. [[spoiler:Averted when she turns herself into a Nazi Zombie.]]
91* SuperCuteSuperpowers: Attacks with rainbows, unicorns and kisses (among other, slightly naughtier things). The fact that it's fucking ''[[WholesomeCrossdresser Kenny]]'' doing all this makes it all the more hilarious.
92* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Goes without saying. When Kenny dies as a companion, [[ContinuityNod rats will pick him apart]] so he cannot be revived until the fight ends. When this happens, a meter appears above his life bar with the number of turns until he comes back.
93** [[spoiler:This is weaponized during her Final Boss fight, where Princess Kenny auto-revives every time she dies (the first time becoming [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Nazi Zombie Princess Kenny]]). The only way the New Kid ensures Princess Kenny is DeaderThanDead is to break the Gentleman's Oath by [[BrickJoke farting right on]] [[WholesomeCrossdresser her balls]].]]
94* TheUnintelligible: As usual. If subtitles are turned on, they even read Kenny's dialogue as a bunch of "mmmfphfmmmmm mmmmmmfmmmmmm"'s.
95* WigDressAccent: {{Parodied|Trope}}; he wears the entire princess outfit over his parka, and therefore everybody (both in-game and playing the game) easily recognizes him (see IncrediblyConspicuousDrag above). The [[https://www.reddit.com/r/StickofTruth/comments/2adnci/old_princess_kenny_design_his_reflection_in_the/ original design]] for Princess Kenny would have played this straight; it looks like a perfect female disguise due to the game's art style.
96* WholeCostumeReference: His outfit is very much like Zelda's in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''.
97* WholesomeCrossdresser: Kenny's class is the "Princess".
98--> '''Cartman''': Don't ask why Kenny wanted to be a chick, it's just how he seems to be rolling right now.
99** Carries over to Season 17's Black Friday episodes, which were made while the game was still in production.

102[[folder:Paladin Leopold "Butters" Stotch the Merciful]]
103[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paladin_butters.png]]
104* AmbiguouslyBi:
105** Admits to having a crush on Princess Kenny [[spoiler:if defeated during the final boss battle in Clyde's tower.]]
106** He outright says the New Kid as a crossdresser (who was DraggedIntoDrag by Wendy and the girls in order to infiltrate the abortion clinic) is attractive.
107-->'''Butters:''' You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen. Next to a real girl, that is.
108* ApologeticAttacker: "I'm sorry I have to do this!"
109* ArtShift: When he becomes Professor Chaos, it's in the anime style from ''Good Times With Weapons''.
110* BadassAdorable: Kind, polite to everyone, and soft spoken, yet he will wreck face when given the chance.
111* BadassBoast: [[spoiler:"Foolish Princess Kenny! Do you not know that [[TheGrimReaper Death]] is a servant of Chaos!?"]]
112* BadassCape: He wears a cape normally, and Professor Chaos can also shroud the party in his "Chaos Cloak" to give himself and the New Kid maximum shields.
113* BestFriend: According to Matt and Trey, Butters is supposed to be Dovakiin's best friend in South Park, and you have to admit, he's a good choice. It's horrible when you have to fight him.
114* BigBrotherMentor: He takes up this role, but in a different and somewhat more downplayed way compared to Cartman, as Butters is the one who tells the New Kid about certain gameplay features Cartman never brings up in the tutorial and acts as the New Kid's guide in exploring South Park in the early parts of the game.
115* BigDamnHeroes: He gets a moment when he finds you in the abortion clinic.
116* ButHeSoundsHandsome: If you stumble upon Professor Chaos's lair with Butters, Butters refers to Chaos (his evil alter ego) as brilliant.
117* ButtMonkey: As usual, Butters is easily picked on by others. This actually carries over into combat with the 'Born Victim' trait, which makes enemies outright want to attack him more. [[ThePollyanna He doesn't mind.]]
118* CombatMedic: His ally command is a healing ability, but he still fights.
119* DeflectorShields: If you have Professor Chaos use his "Chaos Cloak", the party will receive a shield that will stop enemy attacks.
120* {{Expy}}: Butters' hammer and lightning attacks are quite similar to ComicBook/TheMightyThor.
121* EtTuBrute: If you side with Kyle, you'll have to fight against Butters when you storm the school, who calls you out on your betrayal. The description for his hammer even notes that you just beat up the first friend you ever made in South Park, but then again [[ButtMonkey it's Butters]].
122* ForGreatJustice: Many of his more hammy lines usually involve this.
123-->'''Butters:''' Let us find the Bard and bring him to justice!
124* GoshDangItToHeck: His battle quotes include such gems as "We're gonna send you straight to heck!" and "Son of a biscuit!"
125* HealingHands: His unique trait. A literal example as he heals his allies by giving them a pat on the back and some encouraging words. He does this as his buddy command.
126* HealThyself: As a boss he can use his ability "Healing Touch" on himself, which also removes all inflicted status debuffs.
127* HeterosexualLifePartners: As mentioned above, there are implications that he's this with the New Kid.
128* HolyHandGrenade: His attacks deal holy damage, which is especially effective against undead.
129* KamehameHadoken: Professor Chaos' "Chaos Blast" attack. [[spoiler:He can even use it to fight off Nazi Zombie Death!]]
130* LargeHam: He has a knack for shouting with a lot of passion in his voice. Exaggerated as Professor Chaos.
131* TheLancer: Not only is he the first friend The New Kid makes, he's the only one who can actually make him smile.
132* LifeDrain: One of the attacks Professor Chaos can use.
133* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: [[spoiler:If you fight him as a boss, he will be wielding one.]]
134* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Sometimes his battle quotes just get away from him.
135-->'''Butters:''' The Hammer of Justice will strike the Nail of Evil into the Board of Being Sorry!
136* OneWingedAngel: [=LARPing=] won't spare him from becoming Professor Chaos in combat.
137* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Whatever happened at the [[NoodleIncident Battle of Wormsly Woods]] makes him drop his usual [[GoshDangItToHeck speaking pattern]] and initially refuse to cooperate with the elves.
138-->'''Butters:''' "Join forces", my paladin ass! The only good elf is a dead elf.
139* ThePaladin: His class.
140* RandomEffectSpell: Professor Chaos can use one of several attacks. You can actually select which one, but the wheel moves pretty fast so that can be hard. All of the attacks are useful, though.
141* ShockAndAwe: His "Hammer of Storms" ability, where he hits the ground with his hammer and shocks his foes. Professor Chaos also has a "Chaos Storm" attack.
142* StoneWall: He's the game's default tank, due to [[ButtMonkey his passive having people attack him more often because they're disgusted by his innocence]].
143* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Professor Chaos. Also subverted in a way, since he retains the "villainous" mannerisms but isn't really any more "evil" than Butters himself.
144* SecondSuperIdentity: Technically, as Professor Chaos.
145* WhatTheHellHero: If you side with Kyle, he'll be pretty angry at you for your betrayal.
146-->'''Butters''': Well, if it isn't Kyle's lapdog, the traitor Douchebag!
147[[/folder]]
148
149[[folder:Warrior Clyde Donovan]]
150[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/warrior_clyde.png]]
151* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: In the show, Clyde generally tends to be a nice and highly moral person when he plays a significant role. Here in the game though, he tossed all that out once Cartman kicked him out of Kupa Keep.]]
152* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:His massive nazi zombie army is a real threat, but as Kyle puts it, he's messing with something he can't control.]]
153* ButtMonkey: Cartman had the New Kid beat him up [[ItAmusedMe because he finds it amusing.]] [[SchmuckBait If you fall for his false tip scam beforehand,]] [[LaserGuidedKarma it'll make beating up Clyde all the more satisfying as well.]]
154* TheChessmaster: Proves to be a surprisingly decent one in this game. [[spoiler: Having been banished from Kupa Keep, he decides to scheme his way for power and respect by exploiting the on-going Humans vs. Elves conflict by arranging them to fight each other in the school after stealing the stick. As they fight each other, Clyde will use the green alien goo to amass a massive nazi zombie army so that even if the two figure things out and join forces, it still wouldn't be enough to defeat Clyde and his forces.]]
155* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Cartman, who "banished him from space and time" by kicking him off his fortress. While he doesn't actually die from this, that is the last of him in terms of the story.]]
156* EvilOverlord: [[spoiler:After stealing the Stick of Truth, complete with a giant treehouse fortress, a costume with SpikesOfDoom, and an army of minions that includes the vampire kids and Zombie Nazis.]]
157* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:He turns out to be the one who stole the Stick of Truth after being banished from Kupa Keep, which leads Kyle and Cartman's teams to have to join forces to stop him.]]
158* TheHeavy: He becomes this after being banished from Kupa Keep. [[spoiler:It was him who stole the Stick Of Truth and manipulated the humans and elves into fighting each other in the school. Even after the elves and humans joins together they still need to recruit more allies to take on Clyde's massive nazi zombie army which takes a large portion of the game. Even after that they still need to infiltrate his fortress and defeat all his minions before getting to Clyde himself. Despite driving most of the plot however, he's messing with something he can't control as Kyle says and the BigBad and FinalBoss are revealed to be the Bad Bad Government Guy and Princess Kenny respectively.]]
159* HehHehYouSaidX: As Cartman is explaining how abilities require power points, or PP for short, Clyde snickers at it much to Cartman's irritation.
160* {{Necromancer}}: [[spoiler:He uses the green goo (which he thinks is Taco Bell green sauce) from the crashed UFO to raise his army of darkness. Yes, those are Nazi zombies.]]
161* NeverMyFault: Blames the New Kid showing up for the loss of the stick, even though he was the one who was supposed to be guarding it and was entirely responsible for losing it.
162* SchmuckBait: When he's acting as a storekeeper, he offers to sell you a tip at a cheap price. The tip: Don't waste your money on tips and rumors.
163* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After [[spoiler:the New Kid slays Nazi Zombie Chef]], Clyde doesn't put up a fight, and tells the boys they can have the Stick. [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork Cartman doesn't give him a chance to run off, though.]]
164--> "[[spoiler:Um... Okay, um, you know what, I'm not playing anymore.]]"
165* SpikesOfDoom: [[spoiler:Once he becomes the villain, he dons a three-pronged helmet as well as football pads with twigs sticking out of the sides.]]
166* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:When you confront Clyde near the end, you don't fight him as he resurrects Chef as a Nazi zombie to protect him. After Chef is defeated, the following cutscene sees Cartman dispense with Clyde by kicking him out of the treehouse.]]
167* WalkingSpoiler: It's more profound and implied after he's been banished from Kupa Keep, especially when he curses the New Kid, [[NeverMyFault blaming him for his punishment.]]
168* WarmUpBoss: After choosing your class and weapon, Cartman sics you on him to teach you the ropes.

171[[folder:Healer Tolkien Black]]
172[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/healer_token.png]]
173* {{Irony}}: The fact that he's a black guy in a group called the KKK never really hits him. He even shouts "For the KKK!" as a battlecry.
174* TheMedic: His class is Healer and his skills in medicine are plus four.
175* SquareRaceRoundClass: Cartman keeps insisting that he's meant to be a Blacksmith even though he's already stated that his class is a Healer, a reference to black actor Will Smith.
176[[/folder]]

178[[folder:Thief Craig Tucker/Feldspar]]
179[[quoteright:332:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thief_craig.png]]
180* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:When it turns out that Clyde stole the Stick of Truth, he decides to side with Clyde and you fight him as a boss.]]
181* IFightForTheStrongestSide: [[spoiler:Or for the side with the coolest base, according to his own words.]]
182* MesACrowd: [[spoiler:He "clones" himself during his boss fight, which means he summons kids that dress up like him. One of them is black and the other is Chinese.]]
183* NoSell: [[spoiler:Parodied. He's immune to splash damage for no reason other than that [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem Clyde said so while having the Stick]].]]
184** Could possibly be a reference to Dungeons and Dragons, where thieves and rogues have the ability to avoid area-effect abilities because of their quick reflexes.

186
187[[folder:Barbarian Tweek Tweek]]
188[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barbarian_tweek.png]]
189* TheBerserker: His class is Barbarian.
190* HeroicBSOD: He gets a little ''too'' into the game at one point after witnessing several of his friends "die" in battle.
191-->'''Tweek:''' "When I close my eyes, l see my friends' screaming faces. ARGH!"
192* ThePerfectionist: Trains ''constantly'' once recruited, even saying that he's too busy to talk.
193* WalkingArmory: Has a bow, a dagger, and several other weapons on his person.
194* WalkingShirtlessScene: With nothing more than body paint.
195[[/folder]]
196
197[[folder:Ranger Scott Malkinson]]
198[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ranger_scott.png]]
199* BadassBandolier: Subverted - he uses it to carry his insulin and spare syringes around.
200* ButtMonkey: No one is nice to him.
201* CursedWithAwesome: Subverted when he claims his diabetes is a gift and a curse but it's mostly a curse. [[spoiler:It's played straight a lot more in ''[[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole The Fractured But Whole]]'', where Scott Malkinson takes the role of the extremely powerful [[SuperStrength Captain]] [[DisabilitySuperpower Diabetes]].]]
202* NiceGuy: No matter which side you fight for in the school battle, he'll tell you he's glad to see that you're OK.
203* YouGetMeCoffee: His original job at Kupa Keep is basically to shovel up cat poop.

206!!Drow Elves of Larnion
207[[folder:Elf King Kyle Broflovski]]
208[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/high_jew_elf_king_kyle.png]]
209* BlowYouAway: He can whip out a leaf blower to take out his enemies. He also uses it in his boss fight for the BeamOWar segment.
210* DifficultButAwesome: As a party member, he specializes in powerful attacks that are difficult to execute correctly. In particular, his RainOfArrows attack is the strongest special attack in the game if performed correctly, but requires three perfectly timed button presses with no room for error.
211* DiscOneFinalBoss: If you play as being purely aligned with Cartman's Kingdom of Kupa Keep, he can technically count as this.
212* EnemyMine: Is the first to suggest that humans and elves team up to fight [[spoiler:Clyde.]]
213* FieryRedhead: See HotBlooded below.
214* GolfClubbing: His melee attack has him hit his enemies with a golf club.
215* GrievousHarmWithABody: He can punt Ike at his enemies. It's probably one of the most damaging single target abilities in the game, particularly effective against Nazi Zombies, appropriately enough.
216-->'''Kyle:''' Okay, Ike: kick the baby!\
217'''Ike:''' Don't kick the goddamn baby! ''(punted)'' Yaaaaaay!
218* TheHeavy: serves as this for the first half of the game as the ArcVillain until Clyde’s betrayal is revealed and if you stay aligned with Cartman throughout.
219* TheHighKing: Of the elves.
220* HolyHandGrenade: He deals Kosher damage, which does bonus damage against Nazi Zombies.
221* HotBlooded: A carry-over from the show. Here, it's weaponized as his unique trait: he can improve his and the New Kid's damage output by angrily calling for violence. He might also growl or just scream inarticulately before one of his basic attacks.
222* IKnowMaddenKombat: He uses the Golf Club by setting a golf ball and clocking the enemy in the face with it.
223* RainOfArrows: He can direct his elven army to unleash a hail of arrows at the enemy. It can fail hilariously and ''still'' cause quite a lot of damage.
224* TeamDad:
225** His army seems pretty devoted to him, given elves will proclaim "For the Elf King!" before running into battle.
226** Kyle even seems to act as TeamDad toward the New Kid (regardless of who he sides with), albeit to a very slight degree, considering Kyle scolds the New Kid for playing on Cartman's side and talks with the expectation and belief that the New Kid will do what's right at the end.

229[[folder:Ranger Stan Marsh/Marshwalker]]
230[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ranger_stan.png]]
231* BadassNormal: He doesn't really have any "special" abilities - [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer just ones where he hits with his sword a little harder.]]
232* TheBeastmaster: Utilizes his pet dog Sparky for quests and combat.
233* DeadlyDisc: One of his special attacks is throwing a frisbee at his opponents.
234* FriendToAllChildren: He's the one to recruit the Pirates (AKA The Kindergartners) and helps lead them into Clyde's Fortress.
235* FriendToAllLivingThings: "I am Stan Marshwalker, Brother of Wolves and Badgers!"
236* HeroesPreferSwords: His weapon is the "Slashing Blade of the Ranger", which is a wooden toy sword.
237* LukeNounverber: Stan refers to himself as "Stan Marshwalker, Brother of Wolves and Badgers", as well as Butters.
238* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:When you fight him as a boss and you first take out his dog Sparky, his attack goes up.]]
239* TokenHuman: The character he roleplays as was raised by the Drow Elves from a young age.
240* WeaponTwirling: He gives his sword a little twirl at the end of every fight. Doubles as a ShoutOut to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' since it emulates Cloud's victory pose.
241[[/folder]]
242
243[[folder:Lè Bard Jimmy Valmer]]
244[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jimmy_the_bard.png]]
245* AscendedExtra: Becomes a member of your party along with the main characters.
246* BratsWithSlingshots: His weapon is a custom "crossbow-slingshot", kinda similar to some weapons from ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor''.
247* BrownNote: One of his abilities, demonstrated in his boss battle as overloading the player character with mana, causing a PottyFailure.
248** It's upgraded once you finish his Friend Quest. He channels it via a MASSIVE [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphorn alphorn]], inflicting heavy damage on all enemies and applying a bleeding effect. (Because it makes them [[BodyHorror crap blood, yikes!]])
249-->'''Jimmy:''' Behold, [[DoubleEntendre the relaxing power]] of music.
250* DisabilitySuperpower: He can open disabled access pathways for you. That's it.
251* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Always referred to as "The Bard".
252* InstrumentOfMurder: The giant alphorn mentioned above.
253* MagicMusic: His specialty. It replenishes power-points, applies buffs and debuffs, puts enemies to sleep, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and makes them shit blood.]]
254* QuirkyBard: His abilities are focused on buffing and debuffing as well as applying status ailments. He can even restore the group's PP.
255* SupportPartyMember: None of his special abilities hurt the enemy. At best, they debuff them.
256* TheDreaded: Apparently, since the other kids freak out when they find out that he has the Stick.
257* VerbalTic: Like the show, he can go into long spouts of stuttering and trailing off. The game exaggerates this as some of the cutscenes with him in them will grind to a halt while he tries to get out what he's trying to say. During these sequences, the "Skip" command comes up more prominently than normal, which can give the impression that the game is ''forcing'' you to skip these, as a means of LeaningOnTheFourthWall (in fact they will end by themselves but are ''very'' long).
258* YourMom: His power up song leads up to this.
259[[/folder]]

261!!Other Characters
262[[folder:Sir Timmy Burch]]
263[[quoteright:216:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sir_timmy.png]]
264* DemotedToExtra: Despite being one of the more major characters in the television series, Timmy is barely present in Stick of Truth. He runs the fast travel system around town, but he only physically appears in the game twice. He first appears when you first activate the main road travel flag, and again when you use the main road travel flag to warp anywhere else for the first time. You also hear him whenever you use a travel flag. Other than those two brief appearances, he has no effect on the main plot whatsoever.
265* WarpWhistle: His role in the game. Timmy will give you a ride from one activated fast travel flag to another.
266[[/folder]]
267
268[[folder:Randy Marsh]]
269* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the show, Randy Marsh in nothing short of a {{Manchild}} [[AdultsAreUseless who is just as stupid and useless as most of the other adults in]] [[CrapsackWorld South Park.]] Here, he is the New Kid's ally who becomes his friend after the New Kid saves him from an alien abduction and makes his own attempts to save South Park while the New Kid is busy playing Fighters of Zaron with the other kids.
270* HeroOfAnotherStory: The New Kid keeps running into Randy as he makes his own attempts to save South Park.
271* MissionControl: Plays this role during the alien abduction portion of the game, speaking to you through the various monitors throughout the ship.
272* OnlySaneMan: In a stark constrast to [[{{Manchild}} his usual role in the show,]] Randy is the only adult in South Park who tries to investigate the new Taco Bell [[spoiler:and stop the government from nuking South Park.]]
273[[/folder]]
274
275[[folder:Wendy Testaburger]]
276[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shieldmaiden_wendy.png]]
277* ActionGirl: She isn't a partner, but the cutscene on [[spoiler:raiding Clyde's keep]] has Wendy dressed in armor fighting alongside the boys.
278* EasilyForgiven: Wendy's aid is obtained by finding out which girl is a "two-faced bitch", but once they find out, the girls are quick to forgive.
279* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Just like the episode "The List", the girls have their meetings called with "sparkles".
280* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Wields a purple shield when fighting.
281* MinorInjuryOverreaction: She gets taken out of commission during the assault on [[spoiler: Clyde's]] keep because her homemade outfit was ruined. She needs to be healed by Butter's buddy command.
282* MissionControl: For the section of the game where you have to recruit the girls, she's the one assigning missions to the new kid.
283* SecretSecretKeeper: Retconned into being this in the next game if your character [[spoiler: identifies as a girl/other]].
284
285[[/folder]]
286
287!!Summons
288[[folder:Mr. Kim]]
289* AdaptationalBadass: His war dance doesn't do anything in the show proper. Here, it's as powerful as any attack from any of the other summons.
290* AllAsiansKnowMartialArts: Dresses up in Chinese warrior armor, and slices up enemies to the tune of a war dance. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], in that he's actually a Caucasian man who ''thinks'' he's Chinese.
291[[/folder]]
292
293[[folder:Mr. Hankey]]
294* ContinuityNod: He performed this exact same trick in the episode ''Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls''
295* NobodysThatDumb: After you completing his side quest, he will help the New Kid where you can [[SummonMagic summon him]], but not for boss fights.
296-->'''Mr. Hankey''': Anytime you need my help, you just call on me and I'll be there sure as a shit on a Sunday! Howwwwdy Ho! Except against bosses of course. I might have shit for brains, but I'm not stupid.
297* ShoutOut: His animation and costume are giant nods towards [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} The Sorcerer's Apprentice]].
298[[/folder]]
299
300[[folder:Mr. Slave]]
301* AssShove: One-shots enemies by shoving them into his ass. Don't ask us how he manages to do so, [[spoiler:especially if you call him while you're inside his body]].
302* GameplayAndStorySegregation: [[spoiler: Mr. Slave can be summoned from within himself... somehow. It does net you an achievement lampshading it. ]]
303[[/folder]]
304
305[[folder:Jesus]]
306* JesusWasWayCool: Especially when machine guns are involved.
307* KungFuJesus: Jesus guns down enemies with a machine gun.
308* MoreDakka: He doesn't even bother to aim (not that he needs to).
309[[/folder]]
310
311!!Other Antagonists
312[[folder:Big Bad Government Guy]]
313[[quoteright:238:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/big_bad_government_guy.png]]
314* ArchEnemy: He's revealed to be a personal nemesis of the New Kid, [[spoiler:being the reason why they and their family had to move to South Park in the first place]].
315* BigBad: He's the primary antagonist of the Nazi Zombie plotline. With a name like that, what choice does he have? [[spoiler:He's also the reason why the New Kid's family moved to South Park]].
316* CallingYourAttacks: [[spoiler:Does this on Princess Kenny's behalf during the second phase of the final boss.]]
317* DrunkWithPower: [[spoiler:He proceeds to go mad upon being told that whoever holds the Stick of Truth controls the universe, unaware that it's simply a prop for a game.]]
318* FreudianExcuse: In his monologue to the New Kid (a.k.a. [[spoiler: Dovakhin]]), he explains that [[JustFollowingOrders as a government employee, he has to follow the orders of his nation]]. [[spoiler:When he hears the Stick [[BlatantLies gives the power to control the Universe]], he believes that this means that he no longer has to follow anyone's orders and proceeds to go mad with nonexistent power.]]
319* IdiotBall: [[spoiler:He goes nuts with power after being told whoever holds the Stick of Truth controls the universe, even though the stick is just, well, a stick for the kids' game. You'd think a man who works for the government would know better, but then again, this ''is'' South Park, and [[AdultsAreUseless adults aren't known for having common sense in this world]]]].
320* MeaningfulName: BigBad Government Guy is the BigBad of the game who works for the government. His name is also a reference to the term "Big Bad Evil Guy", a common term used to describe {{Big Bad}}a in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', and he unintentionally becomes the big bad of the D&D inspired Fighters of Zaron game.
321* NakedNutter: [[spoiler:When holding the Stick and believing he doesn't have to follow anyone's rules any more, he decides to strip naked on the spot. He's a fairly old man.]]
322* NoNameGiven: The game never gives him an actual name or even a position. He's only known as the "Big Bad Government Guy" in the subtitles as a parody of villainous government agents.
323%%* NonActionBigBad: See TheUnfought.
324* ObviouslyEvil: Aside from [[MeaningfulName his name]], he has an eyepatch, and is part of the government in a franchise whose creators are well known libertarians.
325* TheUnfought: In the end, you don't fight him at all. Not even as a final boss.
326* WeCanRuleTogether: He offers to let the New Kid rule by his side in the ending. [[spoiler:He succeeds in getting Kenny to join him.]]
327* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:It's unknown what happened to him after the New Kid beat Princess Kenny. The Big Bad Government Guy could've survived the final battle, as Kenny shows up alive and well in the post-game, but that's the last we see of him in the story]].
328[[/folder]]
329
330[[folder:Nazi Zombies]]
331* BackFromTheDead:
332** If a dead person gets covered in goo, they will be resurrected as a zombie, as shown with [[spoiler:the fetuses at the abortion clinic and Chef.]]
333** As a gameplay mechanic, if a Nazi zombie gets knocked out but remains on the field for a turn without being attacked, they will resurrect with full health.
334* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Anyone who gets hit with the green goo or bitten by another zombie becomes one themselves, converts to Nazism and uncontrollably attacks anyone in sight.
335* HolyBurnsEvil: The vast majority of zombies, unless they're bosses, take extra damage from holy/kosher attacks. This makes [[HolyHandGrenade Butters and Kyle]] the best options against them.
336* NoOntologicalInertia: [[spoiler:Somehow, farting on Princess Kenny's balls reverts all the transformed zombies to normal.]]
337* ThoseWackyNazis: They're Nazi zombies who constantly quote Hitler, don Nazi armbands and repeatedly perform the Sieg Heil salute.
338* ZombieApocalypse: When the New Kid crashes the aliens' UFO into South Park, green goo leaks from the spaceship and transforms anyone it touches into Nazi zombies. Before long, South Park ends up overrun with zombies.
339[[/folder]]
340
341[[folder:Hallway Monitor Boss]]
342* EpicFlail: Uses a basketball on a chain to act as a flail.
343* EvilRedhead: Downplayed. While he does oppose your party, he does have a legitimate reason for it.
344* KingMook: To the ginger hallway monitors, as he's their captain.
345* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Mr. Mackey simply calls him "the boss", and he refers to himself as the chief of the South Park hall patrol.
346* MundaneSolution: His DesperationAttack against your party, who have been causing a ruckus in the school after hours? Calling your parents, which serves as a NonStandardGameOver if he successfully pulls off the "attack".
347[[/folder]]
348
349[[folder:The She-Ogre (Shelley Marsh)]]
350* AmbiguouslyBi: Princess Kenny's "Charm" ability will work on her.
351* [[BigBrotherBully Big Sister Bully]]: Towards Stan.
352* CastFromHitPoints: Some of her attacks will cause her to suffer the 'Bleeding' debuff in exchange for increased attack power.
353* DefeatMeansFriendship: She can become the New Kid's friend after you complete Stan's Quest.
354* MenstrualMenace: The source of her strength and a significant part of her movelist. [[RefugeInAudacity One of her moves is throwing a used tampon at you, and appropriately, it immediately grosses you out.]]
355* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: In the LARP, she's the She-Ogre. No one calls her anything but, even though it's blatant she's not playing along.
356* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Canonically, her name is spelled "Shelley"[[note]]As seen in the episode "Chickenpox"[[/note]], but the game uses the "Shelly" spelling.
357* WorthyOpponent: She begrudgingly admits that the New Kid "doesn't hit like a girl".
358[[/folder]]
359
360[[folder:Al Gore]]
361[[quoteright:220:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/al_gore.png]]
362* ClippedWingAngel: ...After a fashion. [[spoiler:Al Gore in his Man Bear Pig costume can take a lot more punishment and dish it out in kind, but he does nothing besides normal attacks and raise shields. Since he doesn't call in three heavily-armed secret servicemen as support the second time around, the actual fight is much easier.]]
363* DamageSpongeBoss: [[spoiler:As Man Bear Pig. The costume he wears acts as very heavy armor]].
364* FlunkyBoss: [[spoiler:Summons Secret Service Agents during the attack in his Manbearpig Headquarters. They are arguably much more dangerous than the man himself, with their stuns and hard to block attacks.]]
365%%* MightyGlacier: [[spoiler:As Man Bear Pig. His attacks are powerful ''and'' multiple, which will wear out your shield very quickly]].
366* NapInducingSpeak: The first attack he uses is a boring lecture on climate change which will put your party to sleep.
367* {{Superboss}}: [[spoiler:You need to unfriend him on Facebook before you can fight him. And you can fight him a second time as Man Bear Pig. He's very powerful in his first form, with thanks to his mooks that have a delayed instant death that is very hard to block, and a total party stun that is also very hard to block. Gore himself is no slouch, either.]]
368* WakeUpCallBoss: Depending on when you fight him, he can be the first truly challenging boss you run into, due to having a plethora of hard-hitting spells and some lethal mooks at his side.
369[[/folder]]
370
371[[folder:Canadian Wildlife]]
372Various fauna native to Canada. They mostly consist of Dire animals. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin They're like animals… but DIRE]].
373----
374* BearsAreBadNews: Dire bears, even more so, especially when they pack EyeBeams.
375* BreathWeapon: [[RunningGag In order to show just how dire they are]], dire wolves have [[AnIcePerson frost breath]].
376* {{Fartillery}}: Even the wildlife of Canada love farting, as a lot of them can fart in your face to gross you out.
377* SavageWolves: Dire wolves especially.
378* StylisticSuck: They have stiff animations, mostly a single color palette, and have jagged edges.
379[[/folder]]
