1 | '''Basic Trope''': A boss has minions to fight alongside them. |
2 | * '''Straight''': When [[TheHero Bob]] confronts [[BigBad Emperor Evulz]], Evulz is assisted by his [[EliteMooks Elite Guards]]. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Evulz summons his entire army and the strongest to weakest ''[[WolfpackBoss guards]]'' can summon their own minions. |
5 | ** As the FinalBoss Evulz summons previous bosses, turning the battle into an impromptu BossRush. |
6 | ** The FinalBoss is basically a BossBonanza, with [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership Evulz as the strongest and head honcho]] of the bonanza. |
7 | ** Every single boss is accompanied by henchmen and some are more annoying about it than others. |
8 | * '''Downplayed''': |
9 | ** There are only two or three guards assisting Evulz. |
10 | ** WolfPackBoss: Evulz doesn't fight alone when Bob confronts him, but the people he's with aren't his average {{mook}}s ({{elite|Mook}} or not). Like [[TheDragon Count Drake]], [[GeniusBruiser Dr. Techmo]], [[DarkActionGirl Ms. Malicia]], and [[TheBrute The Clobberer]] are the ones fighting alongside their boss. |
11 | * '''Justified''': |
12 | ** Evulz knows the value of strength in numbers. |
13 | ** Evulz is an EnemySummoner, so naturally he summons his minions to fight alongside him. |
14 | * '''Inverted''': |
15 | ** When fighting Evulz, Bob summons his group of MauveShirt's. |
16 | ** The guards are the real bosses and Evulz is the minion. |
17 | ** The guards have the ability to summon previously fought [[DegradedBoss bosses]]. |
18 | ** When Evulz shows up, he order his underlings to get lost. |
19 | * '''Subverted''': |
20 | ** The guards are just statues. |
21 | ** Evulz summons his minions... [[CavalryBetrayal who start attacking him]]. |
22 | ** Evulz dismisses his guards before fighting Bob. |
23 | * '''Double Subverted''': |
24 | ** Evulz brings the statues to life as his own personal minions. |
25 | ** Evulz annihilates the traitorous minions and summons some that are more loyal. |
26 | ** Evulz calls his guards back after Bob gains the upper hand. |
27 | * '''Parodied''': Every time the heroes cut down a Mook, Evulz laments how much they cost... promptly before summoning another. |
28 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Evulz and his minions constantly switch out in different phases. |
29 | * '''Averted''': Evulz fights Bob [[DuelBoss one-on-one]]. |
30 | * '''Enforced''': "How do we make the villain compete with a team without being too hard?" |
31 | * '''Lampshaded''': "How many minions do you have?" |
32 | * '''Invoked''': Evulz decided that, as a BigBad, he needs minions to keep up his image. |
33 | * '''Exploited''': |
34 | ** [[PuzzleBoss Bob tricks the Elite Guards into attacking Evulz]]. |
35 | ** Bob uses the Elite Guards as meat shields to protect himself from Evulz' attacks. |
36 | ** Bob kills the Elite Guards in order to obtain more ExperiencePoints and/or [[RandomDrop Random Drops]]. |
37 | * '''Defied''': Bob surrounds himself and Evulz [[BarrierWarrior with a force field]], cutting off the guards. |
38 | * '''Discussed''': "Why can't we just have a fair fight, without your stupid minions?" |
39 | * '''Conversed''': "Ever notice how the bad guy just sends in minions, instead of just fighting himself?" |
40 | * '''Deconstructed''': Mooks are limited. |
41 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
42 | ** [[DemonicSpiders The limited Mooks whom are in question are so strong]], all or most of them can be labeled as a BossInMookClothing. |
43 | ** Alternatively, [[KeystoneArmy the Mook army never ends until Evulz dies.]] |
44 | * '''Played For Laughs''': |
45 | ** Everytime a minion is killed, Evulz creates another out of his life force. This only exhausts Evulz, as they are very easy to kill. |
46 | ** When the player actually attacks Evulz, he goes down in one hit. |
47 | * '''Played For Drama''': The heroes just killed several soldiers, with families and friends, just to defeat one guy. As they question their motives, Evulz gets away and/or succeeds in his plan. |
