The villains. I don't think this page requires further explanation.

Plasm
The Plasm
The mass of golden, translucent liquid that threatens to engulf the universe. It has proven particularly menacing not only for its ability to spread rapidly through the consumption of any life, but for its ability to convincingly mimic said life. Distinct from the Plasm Wraith in that the Wraith is a sentient being that controls all the plasm, whereas the plasm itself is mindless; it's more like a virus that can be bent to the Wraith's will.
- Adaptational Badass: The final boss battle of Pikmin 3 showed only a few enemies being made of plasm, while in this CYOA, entire worlds have been consumed and replicated by the plasm.
- All That Glitters: Could easily be mistaken for liquid gold.
- Blob Monster: Though in the case of the plain old plasm it's more blob and less monster.
- I Am Legion: Any life that it absorbs gets added to the legion. Perhaps the best example in the CYOA was the boss fight against the entirety of both Bowser's forces and the Mushroom Kingdom army; two historically opposed forces assimilated into one collective.
- The Virus: If the plasm consumes something, then it can and will create a copy of that thing to its own ends.
Plasm Wraith
The creature that wields complete control over the plasm. It has harbored an all-consuming obsession with Olimar since it first came upon him. After having Olimar taken from its grasp one too many times, the creature began spreading out from The Distant Planet. The Wraith traversed entire galaxies, spreading the plasm which would consume all in its path as it pursued Olimar with single-minded determination.
We're not sure what it is exactly either.
- Adaptational Badass: The Plasm Wraith was already a big threat in Pikmin 3, being the final boss, but here it has assimilated every world.
- All That Glitters: Olimar was initially lured in by the Plasm Wraith's bright golden sheen, mistaking it for treasure. Needless to say, it wasn't.
- Armless Biped: Its humanoid form has no discernable arms.
- Blob Monster: Perhaps the greatest example in all of Nintendo canon.
- Collapsing Lair: With the Wraith as the lair, in the instance of the President's Smashville vacation home collapsing in on itself in order to capture Olimar.
- Eldritch Abomination: The thing has unleashed plasm all across the universe, traversing galaxies and allowing its plasm to consume all in its wake just to get at Olimar. Worse still, after dissolving your loved ones in horrific fashion, it's more than capable of sending convincing copies your way in order to lure you into its clutches.
- Elemental Powers: Wields a variety of elemental powers: fire, water, electricity, and earth.
- Escort Mission: Rather than feature a proper boss fight, the climax of Smashville featured this; the party had to rescue Olimar from the plasm's clutches as well as use the good captain as bait to lure the monster away from Smashville. Ultimately their efforts were futile in regards to the latter.
- Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: What is it, exactly? Where is it from, exactly? When is it from, exactly? Nobody knows.
- Humanoid Abomination: Its humanoid shape is a bizarre thing with a lopsided asymmetrical head, no discernable arms, tiny pointed feet with exaggerated legs and hips, and a perfectly circular hole in its "head." Then there are its bizarre and deadly powers.
- I Am Legion: The Wraith has no qualms about ridding the world of life and puppeteering the leftover husks.
- Lovecraftian Superpower: It can transform the things on its head into skewering spikes and spit out globs of itself that transform into hazardous objects.
- Reviving Enemy: As long as there's plasm around to add to its form, or life around to consume and create plasm with, the Wraith will be able to regenerate.
- Swallowed Whole: The Wraith has pulled this on occasion. Typically to digest what it swallows and add to its plasm stores, though Olimar is an exception.
- Yandere: It is obsessed with Olimar and is willing to end all other life in order to have him. It's shown to completely lose its composure when confronted with Olimar's loved ones.
Plasm Villagers
The plasm took the form of not only the various high-price houses that plagued Smashville, but the villagers that occupied them as well. They took the form of Shari, Alli, Opal, and the Villager.
- An Arm and a Leg: Alli inflicts this trope upon Falcon. She pretends to drown, calling for help out in the ocean; when Falcon swims out to save her and finds nobody around, she approaches from underwater and tears his leg off.
- Collapsing Lair: What happens to the houses once the plasm's presence in Smashville is revealed.
- Shovel Strike: The Villager pulls this on Cranky in order to subdue him before kidnapping the ape.
- Slipping a Mickey: Elise falls victim to this, courtesy of Shari.
Plasm Jeff
Merely a husk of one of the plasm's countless victims.
A puddle of plasm posing as the introverted 13-year-old son of Dr. Andonuts.
- Garbage Hideout: The group finds him hiding from the ghosts of Threed in a trashcan.
- Stuffed Into A Trash Can: averted in that Jeff chose to hide in the trashcan, though the implication of this trope is there.
- The Mole: The party gladly welcomes Jeff's assistance after finding him inside a trash can, not even faintly suspecting that he's plasm before King Boo reveals him as such.
- Weapons That Suck: Comes equipped with the Poltersuck, a cheap Andonuts-brand knockoff of the Poltergust.
Ganon's Forces
open/close all folders
Ganondorf
The Demon King bearing an insatiable lust for power. Despite the deadly threat the plasm poses to the entire universe, Ganondorf wants to destroy the Great Hyrule Barrier and let the plasm come flooding in. He believes that he can corrupt the substance with Malice and bend it to his own will, allowing him a clear path to dominating all of existence. He is chosen(or chooses) to become the Sage of Spirit.
- Ancient Evil: Given that both the events of Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild factor into the plot, this is to be expected.
- Animal Motifs: Pigs and Boars, representing his greed and lust for power.
- Bad Boss:
- Played straight in that he seems to have little to no regard for any of his underlings. He makes it clear that they're little more than tools to expedite his rise to power; he doesn't view himself as even needing them.
- Subverted somewhat in that he allows his generals to essentially do whatever they want within their regions, so long as they aren't insubordinate. Want to make slaves of your local populace? Kill them for the fun of it? Subject them to the theatre? He doesn't particularly care so long as you keep the region under his greater control.
- BFS: Wields one with a rounded edge in battle.
- Disc-One Final Boss: He's set up to be the Big Bad of Hyrule, with considerable setup to become the overarching villain of the CYOA. Instead, he's summarily defeated in the end of Hyrule's first Act thanks to the disloyalty of not only Dimentio(totally expected), but Ghirahim.
- Even Evil Has Standards:
- Ganondorf is taken aback by Henry's tendency to commit unnecessarily gory atrocities purely for amusement.
- Kryptonite Factor: The Master Sword is the only thing that can truly do him in.
- Heel–Face Turn: Somewhat. While not exactly a "good guy", Ganondorf's has tacitly allied himself with the Resistance after Olimar revived him with a 1-Up Mushroom.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: To the much more impulsive and much less calculating Ghirahim.
- Regenerating Health: You can wear him down, but he's always going to recover. The only way to defeat him for good is through the use of the Master Sword.
- Those Two Guys: If Ganondorf makes an appearance in Lost in Hyrule, there's about a 95% chance that Ghirahim will be present as well.
- We Have Reserves: Has not one, not two, but THREE separate armies at his disposal. At least until the end of Lost in Hyrule.
Ghirahim
Equal parts deadly and fabulous.
The second-in-command of Ganon's Forces. Ghirahim craves little more than to see his master come to power and enjoy a little bloodshed along the way. He's responsible for overseeing the rest of Ganondorf's generals, ensuring that they're not plotting any sort of insubordination against his master. Betrays Ganondorf as of the end of Lost In Hyrule in order to focus on resurrecting Demise.
- Agent Peacock: He's extremely flamboyant and extremely powerful.
- Authority Equals Asskicking: As one would expect from the bearer of the title "Demon Lord". He is seen leading Ganon's forces on numerous occasions.
- Badass Cape: Although he takes it off to fight. It kind of just disintegrates.
- Badass Finger Snap: Beware his finger snap, for something worth fearing is sure to follow.
- Bad Boss: Shows not the slightest shred of care or empathy toward his underlings; they're nothing more than fodder to hack away and be hacked at.
- Bare-Handed Blade Block: Is capable of catching a blade mid-swing with naught but his gloved hands.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Don't let his narcissism and flamboyance fool you, he is still a crazed and evil villain who needs to be encountered with extreme caution.
- Black Magic: He can conjure blades of various sizes, teleport, and summon minor demons.
- Blood Knight: He really enjoys violence and conflict. Actually justified because Ghirahim is the Living Weapon humanoid form of the Demon King Demise's sword.
- Boss Banter: He chastises you if you do very badly against him.
- Cool Sword: He is Demise's sword. In sword form, he looks like an Evil Counterpart evil version of the Master Sword.
- Death Glare: Ghirahim will drop these in instances where he's had enough; his penchant for toying with his prey can only go so far.
- Demon Lords and Archdevils: His title is Demon Lord, and he backs it up by being Ganon's second-in-command.
- The Dragon: Whether working on Demise's behalf of Ganondorf's, Ghirahim is the proactive number two to contrast with the laid back number one.
- Evil Counterpart:
- To Falcon, strangely enough. Both are sidekicks(Falcon to Olimar, Ghirahim to Ganondorf), both are incredibly campy, both savor the thrill of hunting down their prey, both are passion-fueled and lack rationality, and both grow increasingly unhinged as time goes on. The key difference is that whereas Falcon develops his friendship with Olimar and would never betray him, Ghirahim is designed to be a literal tool and ends up betraying his master.
- Counts as one to Olimar. Whereas Olimar cares deeply for his Pikmin and tries to preserve their lives, Ghirahim couldn't care less about his demonic forces and would have them throw their bodies at his enemies if it would slow them down for even a few seconds.
- Evil Is Hammy: He took a break from deadly combat to engage in a dance battle with Fawful.
- Evil Overlord: Is seen commanding Ganon's forces more often than even Ganon himself.
- Evil Tastes Good: He licks his lips while engaging with his prey. A lot.
- Facial Markings: His eyes have purple bags.
- Flaming Devil: He's incredibly effeminate, flamboyant, and narcissistic, and additionally a Demon Lords and Archdevils demon lord.
- Flechette Storm: He can summon an endless supply of flurry of diamond knives in his boss fights in conjunction with his sword.
- Foil:
- To Ganondorf. The Demon King is strong, silent, and no-nonsense. The Demon Lord is lithe, flamboyant as hell, and will put up with all sorts of nonsense.
- To Falcon. Ghirahim and Falcon act as the more off-the-rails counterparts to Ganondorf and Olimar, respectively. Both spend a considerable amount of time tracking down their prey, and clearly enjoy the thrill of the hunt. They differ in that Falcon's loyalty to Olimar is undying, whereas Ghirahim betrays Ganondorf despite being designed as a literal tool.
- To Olimar. Both can be seen leading legions of hundreds of mooks; the difference is that Olimar actually values the lives of his subordinates whereas Ghirahim would just as soon kill them all. They're replaceable, right?
- The Heavy: To an extent. He makes numerous appearances throughout all of Hyrule, proving himself to be far more active a villain than Ganondorf or any of his forces.
- Just Toying with Them: It takes some time before Ghirahim starts to take anyone seriously as a threat. His boss fight against Snake in the Lake region, Strong in the Dueling Peaks region, and his team-up with Mumkhar in the Tabantha region can all be seen as this. He doesn't take any of these battles especially seriously.
- Kryptonite Factor: You're not going to ever kill him for good without the help of a certain sacred sword.
- Large Ham: Duh.
- Living Weapon: Can take on his sword form at will; Ganondorf wields him in his penultimate boss phase.
- Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Ganondorf repeatedly shows a complete lack of respect for Ghirahim. The Demon Lord could overlook this, but what really puts Ghirahim over the edge is when Ganondorf repeatedly rejects accepting his role as vessel for Demise's hatred.
- Mood-Swinger: Ghirahim's mood can change at the drop of a hat. He can be happy and giddy one minute, brooding and serious the next minute, and violently angry the next minute.
- Motifs: Seems to have a thing for diamonds.
- Nested Ownership: A sword that can wield his own swords.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red Oni to Ganondorf's Blue Oni. Whereas Ganondorf is more subdued and calculating, Ghirahim is flamboyant and fueled by emotion. Further, whereas Ganondorf makes relatively few appearances in front of the party, Ghirahim is constantly on the front lines, ready to deal with the party personally.
- That Makes Me Feel Angry: He has a tendency to say how he feels in a very over-the-top manner.
- RecurringBoss: Easily the villain who is fought the most times throughout the CYOA. Ghirahim is very proactive and has shown up all across Hyrule.
- Regenerating Health: Any defeat of him is only temporary, as it takes the Master Sword to finish him off.
- Those Two Guys: While Ghirahim makes many appearances acting independently of Ganondorf, Ghirahim is at Ganondorf's side in virtually every one of the latter's appearances.
- Villain Teleportation: The most notable one in the CYOA to boot, rivaled only by Dimentio. Ghirahim's is more notable for the stylish flurry of diamonds.
- We Have Reserves: He can seemingly snap hordes of monsters into existence.
Dr. Eggman
It's not hard to see where he gets the name from.
An evil scientist from Mobius who rose to power in Hyrule while serving under Ganondorf. He schemed to destroy the plasm as well as bring the entire world under the Eggman Empire, but was killed in The Sage of Ancients.
- Humongous Mecha: Favors fighting in these, although they tend to err on the smaller side of the "humongous" scale.
- Off with His Head!: Dr. Eggman ultimately suffers this at the clawed hands of E-123 Omega.
- Mecha-Mooks: Has a seemingly endless supply of these at his disposal.
- Narcissist: He built a theme park named after himself and plastered his face and name all over the place, never mind his army of look-alike robots.
- Save the Villain: Subverted at first and possibly averted later. Eggman's first plea for mercy spurs the party into trying to stop his death at the hands of Omega. His second plea for mercy largely falls on deaf ears, and Omega is allowed to finish the job.
- Villains Want Mercy: Eggman invokes this twice. Once when the Egg Emperor is defeated(which was just a ploy to attack with the Guardian Egg) and again when the Guardian Egg is defeated.
-
What Could Have Been:- Word of God says he was a possible boss(complete with the Eggmobile) for the Lake region in Lost in Hyrule, but the choices the CYOA participants made led to a Ghirahim boss fight instead.
- It's also been said that had he been saved, Eggman would have tagged along in another area, possibly to serve as a mechanic of sorts in the return to the Eldin region.
Bellum
Are those eyes on its tentacles or just markings? Nobody knows.
A malevolent, parasitic life form that feeds off of the life force of creatures. Served as Ganondorf's general in the Faron region.
- Attack Its Weak Point: The eye, obviously.
- Casting a Shadow: Creates a whirlwind of dark energy as it possesses Olimar.
- Demonic Possession: On Olimar, allowing him to wield the Pikmace, creating truly dangerous results.
- Eldritch Abomination: Possibly moreso than anything in the CYOA. Not only does it have a surreal form, but it's impossible to communicate with, lives far beyond the reach of man, uses avatars to interact with the outside world, doesn't think in anything even resembling human terms, and probably isn't even sentient. It more or less just is, which is one of the defining characteristics of a classic abomination.
- Eyes Do Not Belong There: It's in the mouth.
- Life Drain: It feeds on life force to survive.
- Nigh-Invulnerable: Only the Phantom Sword can kill him; wielded by Linebeck, it does.
- Villainous Glutton: It's only hunger that drives its actions.
Mike Tyson
Dimentio
He's a lot deadlier than he looks.
A master magician with an apparent mastery of dimensions. He's as mysterious as he is annoying.
- Ax-Crazy: Do not underestimate the sheer insanity of this jester.
- Badass Finger Snap: The way he activates his spells, which often result in Stuff Blowing Up.
- Batman Gambit: He successfully takes advantage of Ganondorf's lust for power and mounting frustration by getting him to carry out a battle plan which would present Dimentio the opportunity to finish him off.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Fortunately the party doesn't have much time to underestimate him, what with witnessing him blow up a villager with the snap of his fingers... in their first encounter.
- Bright Is Not Good: Wears a bright purple and yellow jester costume and his Energy Balls are colored the same way. As if that weren't enough, he came into possession of the Sacred Stone of Light. Despite this, however, he is most definitely not good.
- Catchphrase: "Ciao!"
- The Chessmaster: He is most certainly this, moreso than anybody in the entire CYOA.
- He convinces Ganondorf to pull a scouting mission/attack on the Resistance Camp to lead them to believe that a bigger invasion of the camp is forthcoming. Robin summons the rest of the resistance from Gerudo Town and back to the camp in preparation, which gives Ganon's Forces the opportunity to take the desert city for their own, allowing Ganon's Forces to surround the camp from all sides. The plan works flawlessly, which sets Ganondorf up for one final full-scale invasion of the camp. Of course, this invasion is unsuccessful, because:
- The aforementioned plan was all in service of Dimentio's Batman Gambit: Ganondorf would overextend himself to an enough of an extent to at least be temporarily weakened. Once the opportunity arises, Dimentio summons a Floro Sprout-donned Link to finish the Demon King off with the Master Sword. Becomes even more impressive when you consider that he had been keeping Link hidden away from the beginning for just this purpose.
- Darker and Edgier: Possibly the most serious villains in the CYOA, despite his appearance.
- Evil Is Hammy: His hamminess is surpassed perhaps only by Ghirahim.
- Invisibility: Seems to make at least some use of this power in order to keep an eye on the actions of the party.
- Good Angel, Bad Angel: Serves as the bad angel to Elise for some time. She sees the error of her ways in falling for his words.
- Perpetual Smiler: Thanks to the mask he's constantly wearing.
- Seen It All: Very much claims to have seen it all on account of his dimension-hopping; if he's telling the truth, it's not hard to see how he might have ended up this way.
- Villainous Harlequin: And how!
- Villain Teleportation: Has a variant of this that causes the very air to visibly ripple around him. It's not as fabulous as Ghirahim's diamond-flurried teleportation.
- We Can Rule Together: Pulls a variation of this on Elise in order to persuade her to defect to his side. It doesn't last, though who knows what might have happened had Elise not read the Dark Prognosticus.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: If you believe his claims, he's been to countless dimensions to try and alleviate any suffering therein, but everything inevitably ends up going to shit, with the vast majority of the seemingly infinite dimensions being absolutely horrific to live in. He hopes to combine everything into one dimension under his rule to establish a perfect world; whatever his idea of that might be.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Dimentio isn't particularly pleased when Elise goes snooping around in places she shouldn't

Ridley/Metal Ridley/Plasm Ridley
Pictured here: Ridley for the 5% of the CYOA in which he was made of flesh and bone.
- Achilles' Heel: Aiming for the mouth is always a good bet when battling Ridley.
- Arch-Enemy:
- Serves as this to the main group, being one of the few major antagonists from pre-Hyrule that isn't dead.
- To Samus, for obvious historical reasons that reach beyond the scope of the CYOA. Within the CYOA, being captured by Ridley and reduced to a Badass in Distress couldn't have helped matters. Nearly being combined with Ridley into some sort of horrible abomination made things worse. Add constantly trying to kill Samus in addition to having eaten her parents, and it's understandable why Samus would be hell-bent on finishing Ridley off.
- To Rosalina. Ridley attacked the Comet Observatory offscreen prior to the chapter's start, stranding Rosalina on Planet Zebes. She's later forced to sacrifice a considerable number of Lumas in order to buy the party time to escape.
- To a lesser extent with Elise, having killed Corrin right in front of her eyes.
- Body Horror: Plasm Ridley's A Thousand Needles attack, in which it shapeshifts into countless needle-like appendages and uses them to skewer everyone around it.
- Eldritch Abomination: Much like the Wraith, Plasm Ridley is not a sight anyone would want to behold.
- Finishing Stomp: How he finally dies, courtesy of Samus.
- Good Prosthetic, Evil Prosthetic: As Metal Ridley he's the almost entirely-metal evil prosthetic to Falcon's metallic leg good prosthetic.
- Hybrid Monster:
- In Samus Returns the party is forced to choose between what sort of hybrid monster will be created in the Space Pirates' lab: a combination of Ridley and a Varia Suit-wearing Samus, a combination of the plasm and Samus, or a combination of Ridley and the plasm; they opt to free Samus from her containment tube, thereby creating the latter.
- Another layer is added to the mix when he becomes Plasmblight Ridley when infected with Ganon's Malice.
- I'm Melting!: Metal Ridley falls into lava, with melts away at all but his bone.
- It Can Think: While nobody questions that the original Ridley possesses intelligence, Olimar and the rest of the party seem completely convinced that Plasm Ridley is merely a mindless creature adopting the husk of Samus's former nemesis. Samus doesn't buy this, and insists that Plasm Ridley and Ridley are one and the same.
- Recurring Boss: Fought practically once per world earlier on in the CYOA. Even in Hyrule, Ridley makes several appearances; he might be the most recurring boss in the CYOA, with only Ghirahim giving him a run for his money.
- The Dog Bites Back: Doesn't seem to appreciate being possessed by Ganondorf's malice, surprisingly enough.
- The Undead: Brought back by the plasm as Plasm Ridley.
Louie
A great darkness lies within.
- Alas, Poor Scrappy: In-Universe example, none of the characters liked Louie but many were still horrified by Falcon's execution of him.
- Captain Crash: Exhibits a few different examples of this.
- Pilots the stolen prize vehicle and soon after crashes it on DK Island.
- Absconds with the Gangplank Galleon and predictably crashes it against a rocky shore.
- Death Equals Redemption: Downplayed. Apologizes right before Falcon suffocates him to death, however it's unknown if he would've reverted to his old ways if left alive.
- Face–Heel Turn: Starts off tacitly as Olimar's companion on the Distant Planet(though unbeknownst to Olimar at the time, he was controlling the Emperor Bulblax) and then later served as Falcon's racing partner in the F-Zero Grand Prix before stealing the prize vehicle.
- Friendly Ghost: His ghost, as encountered in The Sage of Shadow, expresses remorse for his misdeeds.
- Karma Houdini: He always manages to slip away at the last second. Finally averted when he dies a gruesome death at the hands of Falcon.
- Phallic Weapon: Gets taken out by one of these. Falcon crams a banana into his throat and chokes him with it.
- Unknown Rival: One to Falcon. Captain Falcon views Louie as his arch-nemesis, but Louie is more concerned with acquiring food.
- Villainous Glutton: Louie loves food, at one point running off with an entire town's worth of food, but he doesn't appear particularly overweight, despite his food habits.
- Wacky Racing:
- Races against Dai Goroh and Olimar, serving as the item-tosser with Captain Falcon aboard the Blue Falcon.
Ludwig
- Those Two Guys: To an extent with Wendy.
Wendy
- Those Two Guys: With Ludwig, to an extent.
Black Shadow
Grima
King Boo
Pictured above is the best version of King Boo; not pictured is the boring old golden-crowned generic-ass lookin' King Boo. Bleh.
The ruler of the Boos(those that acknowledge his authority, anyway) and Master of Illusions. He switched between acting as friend and foe multiple times throughout the CYOA before his chronic backstabbing finally caught up with him.
- A Father to His Men: He does genuinely care about his fellow Boos... or at least, he did, up until he hit peak malaise and shut himself away inside his dimension.
- Amplifier Artifact: His crown, which is the source of a fair amount of his power.
- And I Must Scream: Being trapped in a Poltergust prison and forced to endure whatever mad science Baron K. Roolenstein wishes to employ on him.
- Arch-Enemy:
- Luigi, for repeatedly sucking him up and trapping him inside portraits. It gets to the point that King Boo finds no purpose to his existence other than to savor torturing Luigi before finally trapping him in a portrait.
- To a lesser but still considerable extent, K. Rool. K. Rool used kept King Boo in his blunderbuss earlier on in the CYOA, sucked him up once more and stole his crown in the Akkala region of Lost in Hyrule, and attempted to obliterate him permanently in The Sage of Shadow.
- Deadpan Snarker: One of the biggest examples in the CYOA.
- Evil Laugh: "BLEH HEH HEH!!!"
- Enemy Mine: Teams up with the party for some time, owing in large part to a shared goal of eradicating the plasm.
- Jerkass: He betrays the party multiple times, and has several boss fights throughout the CYOA. Even the promise he made toward the late Lady Bow isn't enough to keep him from playing the villain.
-
Jerkass Woobie: He's depressed as of The Sage of Shadow, and is now condemned to be K. Rool's lab monkey. - The Lost Lenore: He's ultimately convinced to join the party by Lady Bow, and swears to her that he will not turn traitor. With Bow consumed by the plasm alongside the rest of the World of Smash, he breaks his oath of loyalty and takes over the Akkala region.
- Master of Illusion: One of his signature moves, prominent victims include Luigi and E. Gadd.
- Welcome Back, Traitor:
- Is freed from his Blunderbuss prison in Super Olimar RPG: Legend of the Seven Star Spirits. He agrees to join the party and lead them to Boo's Mansion, only to turn on them once they arrive, confident in his ability to defeat the party with the Boo populace on his side. It turns out they're not on his side, and he ends up reluctantly joining the party after yet another defeat.

Gooper Blooper
This one comes without the cork.
A massive cephalopod that attacks the S.S. Flavion in Mother.
- GiantSquid: Naturally.
- Sea Monster: Obviously.
- Swallowed Whole: The Blooper pulls this on Charlie, but has a hard time digesting him what with the suit.
Dead Hand
Not pictured: the various zombified arms that spring up out of the ground all around it.
A ghastly creature that ambushes the party underneath Threed in Mother.
- Eaten Alive: It attempts to pull this on the party, but thankfully doesn't succeed.
- Eldritch Abomination: And how!
Chauncey
A ghost baby who is fought in Mother.
- Enfant Terrible: Attempts to kill the entire party despite being a cute little ghost baby.
- Goo-Goo-Godlike: Is very much this, at least within his own dimension, wherein he is massive and able to summon giant deadly bouncing balls and fatal flying rocking horses.
- Undead Child: It's unclear whether he was killed as a baby or was conceived by ghosts, but either way, he's this.
Nohr
open/close all folders
Garon
How Xander couldn't see Garon's obvious villainy really speaks to his obliviousness.
The King of Nohr, hell-bent on taking Hoshido for his own. Sitting on the throne reveals him to be a hideous abomination.
- Blob Monster: Turns out to be this.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: He wants to take the Hoshidan throne; sitting on it reveals his true form, which is what ultimately turns Xander against him.
- Jerkass: His reward to the party for having taken the Hoshidan capital on his behalf? A swift death. Made even worse in that in his own mind, he very well may think that he's being benevolent by killing them quickly as opposed to more drawn-out methods.
- Would Hit a Girl: Cut Azura in half with his battleaxe, in fact.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Decides to kill the party after they successfully defeated the Hoshidan forces, as they no longer have any use to him.
Iago
Behold, the proto-Ghirahim.
The right-hand man to King Garon, as well as a nefarious schemer and skilled mage. He is the one responsible for brainwashing Charlie. He dies in the battle that takes place in the Hoshidan Capital.
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Begs Olimar for mercy. Unfortunately for Iago, Olimar sees right through it.
- The Dragon: Garon's loyal-adjacent right-hand man.
- Karmic Death: Averted in that Olimar actually kills him; or at least, he allows his Pikmin to keep hammering away until Iago perishes.
- Religion of Evil: He belongs to one of these, serving the dark god Anankos.
- Smug Snake: Probably the biggest example in the entire CYOA. Allies and enemies alike bear a strong distaste for him.
- Undignified Death: Olimar begins monologuing into his recording device as Iago wastes away in the background, being beaten to death by Pikmin.Iago: I've got to listen... to y-y-you monologue as I die?! Damn you... you're not even... good at i-i-i..."
- Villains Want Mercy: He doesn't get it.
Hans
Most character images feature full-body shots, but Hans isn't important enough to have one.
A Nohrian criminal responsible for countless atrocities. King Garon released him from prison due to his "rehabilitation". Dies in the battle against Garon.
- Alas, Poor Villain: Mostly averted, if not entirely. He's a murderous barbarian who only ended up tacitly allied with the party because blob monster Garon was trying to kill everyone in the room.
- In the Back: Is unceremoniously killed in such fashion, courtesy of King Garon.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Hans is murdered about as quickly as he shows up.
