The Great Lake

Great Lake is a large lake that lies in the northern part of the Great Forest of Tob and extends to the southern end of the Azerlisia Mountains.

The Lizardmen

One of the demi-human races in the New World. They are humanoid lizards that have shared human and reptilian characteristics. Lizardmen dwell in the southern part of the the Great Lake. They're divided among five tribes: Green Claw, Red Eye, Dragon Tusk, Small Fang, and Razor Tail.

    In General 
  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership: How their tribes choose their leaders, usually. This makes the transition to becoming Ainz's vassals much easier since his power is so great that they come to revere him as a God-Emperor.
  • Happiness in Slavery: This appears to be their ultimate fate in Nazarick. They even wear collars with chains on them, but they don't seem to be in distress.
  • Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance: The Lizardmen have a very limited worldview confined mostly to the Great Lake and its surroundings. Only a rare few have much experience with the world beyond it.
  • Proud Warrior Race Guy: Their general motif.
  • Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Averted. Till now there, no evil lizardman has ever showed up. Aside from occasional fighting between tribes and against the toadmen, the Lizardmen seem quite peaceful and don't show interest in expanding their territory. Compared to them, the humans factions look far more evil.

    Zaryusu Shasha 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zaryusu_shasha.png
Voiced by: Hiroki Tochi (Japanese), Josh Bangle (English) Foreign VAs

A lizardman of the Green Claw Tribe and the younger brother of Shasryu Shasha. He is the wielder of Frost Pain, one of the four treasures within the lizardmen tribe.


  • The Ace: He's highly intelligent, tactical, one of the finest lizardman warriors, a great diplomat and is very forward thinking. His abilities are so great that despite being a Traveler he holds the second greatest status in his tribe.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: Zaryusu is branded with the Mark of a Traveller, a lizardman who left their home to explore the greater world and is outside of the jurisdiction of their tribe. Having a Traveler return is highly unusual and the majority of his tribe's elders want nothing to do with him.
  • Back from the Dead: After Crusch agrees to act as The Mole, Ainz uses a Wand of Resurrection to revive him after he was slain by Cocytus.
  • Babies Ever After: After his resurrection, Zaryusu marries Crusch and they now have an infant son.
  • Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest: Inverted. Zaryusu is a Chick Magnet but wasn't interested in any females until he met Crusch, who is the only one he shows a hidden, perverted side to.
  • Cherry Tapping: Although Frost Pain is capable of large bursts of damage, one of it's lesser-known abilities is to inflict stacking ice damage with every successful contact against a target.
  • Chick Magnet: Zaryusu had quite females prior to Crusch who were interested in him.
  • Covert Pervert: Zaryusu is nothing but a respectable lizardman who politely rebuffs any females interested in him. However, the moment he met Crusch, he initiated a mating call.
  • Defiant to the End: Even though he knew he didn't have a ghost of a chance to defeat Cocytus, he declares that if he's going down, he's going down swinging. He even manages to land a blow on Cocytus (though it was still rendered ineffective because of Cocytus' passive buffs). This impressed Cocytus enough that he petitions to Ainz that Zaryusu be resurrected.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: Having taken upon the task of forming an alliance with the other lizard tribes against the undead army, his very first words when he sees the leader of Red Eye is... a mating call.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: He has single-handedly brought the level of technology in his tribe out of the stone age to near Renaissance levels.
  • Heroic Self-Deprecation: Zaryusu is regarded as the best the Lizardmen tribes have to offer, but he considers himself as not that great of a person. He uses his status of being a Traveler as an excuse to see himself as an expendable soldier during his fights, always stating that somebody like him would not be missed if he were to die in combat.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Zaryusu has a muscular, broad physique in contrast to Crusch's slim, smaller form.
  • An Ice Person: Thanks to mastering Frost Pain, he can both create and resist ice based attacks. Ainz later creates a more powerful copy of it for his own use which is seen in volume 6.
  • Love at First Sight: The moment he saw Crusch he first does a mating call before proposing to her.
  • Man of Kryptonite: His weapon Frost Pain can generate and gives passive resistance to ice, which is his race's primary weakness.
  • Masculine Lines, Feminine Curves: Zaryusu has a more angular, sharp designs while Crusch's body is sleeker and rounder.
  • Official Couple: With Crusch Lulu.
  • Pale Females, Dark Males: His scales are dark brown while Crusch is albino.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: Despite being a Traveler, there were quite a few female lizardmen interested in him in his native village, especially after his technological advancements bore fruit. He politely rebuffed all of them. Then, he met Crusch Lulu...
  • Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Both an inversion and a subversion. By Lizardman standards, he's a bonafide stud while his lover and then mate Crusch is regarded as a freak among their people for her albinism. To the human audience however, Zaryusu is a monster when placed next to Crusch-who of course being a female lizardman doesn't make her the new Ms. Fanservice of the series-but with her smoother skin, smaller frame, sleeker build, and pure white color makes her look more aesthetically appealing by comparison.
  • Wacky Marriage Proposal: What does Zaryusu do when he first meets Crusch? Perform a mating call and then ask for her hand in marriage.
  • Worthy Opponent: His skill and courage earn him Cocytus' respect even though Cocytus is vastly more powerful.

    Shasryu Shasha 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shasuryu_shasha.png
Voiced by: Naomi Kusumi (Japanese), David Wald (English) Foreign VAs

The chieftain of the Green Claw. He is the older brother of Zaryusu Shasha.


  • Alliterative Name: Shasryu Shasha.
  • Back from the Dead: Volume 8 reveals that he was eventually resurrected by Ainz.
  • BFS: When Ainz scrys the lizardmen army searching for their champions, his monologue describes Shasryu as the one wielding a Buster Sword.
  • Combat Medic: Despite his large size and even larger choice of weaponry, Shasryu is one of the most capable druids in the Green Claw, nearly on par with Crusch.
  • Magic Knight: He's quite capable of using melee weapons, but also knows healing magic.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Although Zaryusu is a "Traveler" and person-non-grata to the tribe, it's clear he's made very transparent efforts to support Zaryusu's technological efforts and get his new ideas disseminated amongst the tribe. However, according to Word of God he's actually a poor leader because of his very limited worldview (a flaw shared by most Lizardmen).
  • Senseless Sacrifice: He's forced into one. Ainz demands that the lizardmen face his champion, Cocytus, before they are allowed to surrender. This is a fight they know they can't win, so he simply enters the fight with the other chieftains minus Crusch plus his brother. That way, less of them will die. He again sacrifices himself in the fight to give Zaryusu a chance to strike Cocytus with what they hope might be a lethal blow, but their opponent is outright immune to attacks of their level.

    Rororo 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rororo.png
A four headed hydra and the pet of Zaryusu Shasha.
  • Badass Adorable: For the lizardmen. Aura finds it adorable as well when she first lays eyes on it.
  • Our Hydras Are Different: In the New World, hydras are usually born with eight heads, and can eventually grow up to twelve. Because Rororo was born with only four, he was discarded by its family as a hatchling. Zaryusu then found him and raised him, earning Rororo's Undying Loyalty as a result.
  • Taking the Bullet: Taking the fireball rather. Lots of fireballs, protecting Zaryusu.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Zaryusu.

    Crusch Lulu 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crusch_lulu.png
Voiced by: Sora Amamiya (Japanese), Amanda Lee (English) Foreign VAs

A white albino lizardmen and acting chieftain of the Red Eye Tribe.


  • Albinos Are Freaks: Albino lizardmen tend to be killed by their tribes or their environment. Plus, she thinks she is ugly because of her albinism. However, Zaryusu instantly falls in love with her when he sees her.
  • All the Other Reindeer: She's lucky to be alive, as albino lizardmen tend to be killed very young, if not by their tribes then by the swamp they live in and its dangers.
  • Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Upon meeting with Ainz, Crush assumes that he might be after her body. Within earshot of Albedo and Shalltear. Ainz is quick to correct her before there is any bloodshed.
  • Babies Ever After: After Zaryusu's resurrection, she marries him and they now have an infant son.
  • Cannibal Tribe: How the Red Eye tribe avoided taking part in the previous lizardmen civil war for resources. This only lasted until Crusch led them into a revolt against the then-current chieftain.
  • Combat Medic: Her druid spells allow her to play this role, she's no slouch in close combat either.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: One of her best offensive spells is summoning "Wetland Fairies", giant constructs of mud capable of taking on lower-to-middle tier undead.
  • Freakiness Shame: Albinism is frowned upon among lizardmen, yet Zaryusu fell in love with Crusch upon first laying eyes on her.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Crusch has a slim, small form in contrasts to Zaryusu's muscular, broad physique.
  • Idiot Hair: Her bush outfit has a stalk of grass that acts like one.
  • In-Series Nickname: Because of her albinism, she wears a heavy coat of plant reeds to block out the sun whenever she travels outdoors. This has caused certain lizardmen to affectionately refer to her as "Plant Monster" since she resembles a walking stalk of grass with a tail.
  • Masculine Lines, Feminine Curves: Crusch has a sleek and round body while Zaryusu's body is more angular and sharp.
  • The Mole: Ainz offers to resurrect Zaryusu under the condition that she report any signs of disloyalty among the lizardmen to him. He lies and says that the resurrection will fail and Zaryusu will die if she betrays him.
  • Non-Standard Character Design: Lulu's smooth, salamander-esque design is notably different than the more craggy and crocodilian appearance of pretty much every single other lizardman on screen. This includes at least one other (albeit unnamed) female, so it isn't just a gender thing either.
  • An Offer You Can't Refuse: Ainz gives her a choice. She can just go back to her tribe and live under his rule as is, or she can go back to her tribe with her lover brought back to life in a one time offer, under the condition that she play The Mole regarding any lizardman resistance movements. She accepts.
  • Official Couple: With Zaryusu.
  • Pale Females, Dark Males: Crusch is an albino while Zaryusu has dark brown scales.
  • Pre-Climax Climax: When it becomes clear she can't be part of the final offensive, she immediately hauls Zaryusu to the nearest hut and demands he get her pregnant.
  • Squishy Wizard: To a T. She is, by New World standards, a very powerful shaman, but she is so physically frail that even the sun hurts her.
  • Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Both an inversion and a subversion. By Lizardman standards, Crusch is regarded as a freak among their people for her albinism while her lover and then mate, Zaryusu is a bonafide stud. To the human audience however, he's is a monster when placed next to her-who of course being a female lizardman doesn't make her the new Ms. Fanservice of the series-but with her smoother skin, smaller frame, sleeker build, and pure white color makes her look more aesthetically appealing by comparison.

    Zenberu Gugu 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zenberu_gugu.png
Voiced by: Kouji Ishii (Japanese), Chris Rager (English) Foreign VAs

The chieftain of the Dragon Tusk Tribe. Like Zaryusu he is a Traveler, but he still earned the respect of his tribe via Trial by Combat.


  • Back from the Dead: Volume 7 reveals that he was eventually resurrected just like Zaryusu.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: He couldn't care less if you're an outcast or look like a mutated freak, so long as you are strong.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: By Zaryusu.
  • Good Old Fisticuffs: He is of the monk class and specialises in claw-to-claw combat, reinforced by generous applications of qi.
  • Graceful Loser: Easily recognises how much Zaryusu outmanoeuvred him during their Trial by Combat and spends the rest of his visit asking him to take over the chieftainship.
  • Honor Before Reason: In volume 11 he's willing to attack Ainz if Ainz tries to harm the Dwarves he befriended in the past. Even worse, he says this in earshot of Cocytus. Ainz's assurance that he has no intention to harm the Dwarves and ordering Cocytus to not punish Zenberu is the only reason Zenberu wasn't killed on the spot.
  • I Am Not Left-Handed: He carries around a massive polearm, wields it like an amateur, and absolutely does not need it.
  • Ki Manipulation: Of the Self-Enhancement and Super-Toughness variety.
  • The Nicknamer: Tags Crusch with the "Plant Monster" moniker, much to her dismay.

    Kyuku Zuzu 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyuku_zuzu.png
Voiced by: Junpei Asashina (Japanese), Brandon Luna (English) Foreign VAs

The chieftain of the Small Fang Tribe. He is regarded as having the best defense.


  • Back from the Dead: Volume 11 reveals that he was one of the lizardmen who were resurrected.
  • Cursed with Awesome: Dons a magical armor that irreversibly converts his intelligence to strength.
  • Genius Bruiser: Or he would be if not under the effect of the cursed armor. Even so, he's still the most intelligent of the known wearers of said armor. He regains his intellect after being resurrected.
  • Informed Ability: His armor grants him the highest defense among lizardmen. A single strike from Cocytus' God-Slaying Emperor Blade cleaves him in half anyways. This is hardly the fault of Zuzu or his armor; the level difference between them was just that extreme. The fact that the God-Slaying Emperor Blade is described as an Absurdly Sharp Blade and an Armor-Piercing Attack cannot have helped either.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Is known for being especially short for lizardmen; still he's a chief, so his strength and combat prowess are well known.
  • You No Take Candle: Talks like this due to the intelligence draining effect of his cursed armor. Still, this is far better than previous owners of the armor used to be. In fact, some of the previous bearers lost the ability to speak at all. He regains his ability to speak properly along with his intelligence after being resurrected.

    Sukyu Juju 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sukyu_juju.png
Voiced by: Tooru Sakurai (Japanese), Jason Douglas (English) Foreign VAs

The chieftain of the Razor Tail Tribe. He is regarded as having the best ranged attack.


  • The Alcoholic: Loves alcoholic beverages. This is a trait he learned from visiting Dwarven lands.
  • Named by the Adaptation: He was never formally named in the novels, but the anime names him Sukyu Juju.
  • Never Gets Drunk: His alcohol tolerance is exceptionally high. It takes an entire barrel of ale to even get him "tipsy".

Dwarf Kingdom

One of the races found in the New World. Dwarves are skilled in crafting and mining. The Dwarf Kingdom exists in the Azerlisia Mountains.

    In General 

    Regency Council 
The governing body of the Dwarf Kingdom. They each hold the main authority in one of the eight vital functions of the nation.

Commander-In-Chief

The current leader of the Dwarven Army of the Dwarf Kingdom.
  • The Brigadier: He is perfectly willing accept any aid he can.
  • Pragmatic Hero: He is willing to make a deal with Ainz to secure the safety of the nation because he knows they have no other choice.

Forgemaster

  • Break the Haughty: He is absolutely confident in his blacksmithing skills. This makes his inability to forge an ore Ainz provided absolutely soul-crushing to him.
  • Properly Paranoid: You can't blame him for being wary of Ainz.

    Runesmiths 
Dwarves who use runes to enchant objects.
  • Technology Marches On: In-Universe. Runecraft has become more or less obsolete thanks to Tier Magic making mass production possible at the cost of needing expensive materials.

Gondo Firebeard

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gondo_firebeard.png
Gondo is a dwarf who wishes to revive runecraft, which most other dwarves have abandoned in favor of Tier Magic.
  • Determinator: He's willing to risk going to an abandoned city getting attacked by the Quagoa to reach his goals.
  • Inadequate Inheritor: His father and grandfather were the left and right hands of the last king of the Dwarf Kingdom and master runesmiths. He on the other hand is even worse than an apprentice runesmith.
  • Mirror Character: Gondo's desire to keep runecraft alive resonates with Ainz's goal of making the name Ainz Ooal Gown an eternal legend.
  • Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: He joins Ainz because the Regency Council willingly surrendered him, other runesmiths, and the art itself, to protect themselves.

Demi-Human Alliance

An army formed by Jaldabaoth (likely personally by Demiurge rather than the proxy he's using to stage the invasion) out of numerous demi-human tribes around the Albelion Hills as props for Ainz's latest Engineered Heroics stunt in the Roble Holy Kingdom.

    In General 
  • Always a Bigger Fish: These guys are all veritable threats against the Holy Kingdom or any nearby humans in general, as they are man-eating monsters who possess superior strength and the battle skills to boot. There's even a few races that are naturally proefficient in tier 4 magic, something that only a handful of humans could even think of mastering. That said, they're really only as strong as New World standards go, and not only Ainz effortlessly one-shots a bunch of their leaders all by himself, they're also easy prey for Demiurge's skillful manipulations.
  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership: They follow Jaldabaoth because he's the strongest one. Their leaders are also consisted of their strongest warriors.
  • Always Chaotic Evil: Most of the Demi-human races that Demiurge rallied to attack the Holy Kingdom are vicious, man-eating species that are incompatible with human civilization or Nazarick's grand vision of conquering and unifying the New World, with the ones that are compatible being toyed to death or used for experiments to his own leisure with a handful of members being saved by Ainz. This is exactly why Demiurge recruited them to serve him, because he wants to exterminate all of the troublesome species through manipulation.
  • Asshole Victim: Given that they're really horrific and violent murderers and are incompatible with Nazarick's quest to take over the New World, it's better off that Demiurge manipulated and sacrificed all of them to their deaths.
  • Killer Gorilla: Stone-Eaters look like gorillas that spit rocks.
  • Might Makes Right: The only thing they have in common is fighting strength meant everything. Therefore, only the strongest members of these tribes are capable of ruling, and the weaker ones are either lynched, enslaved or killed if they don't bow down to the leadership.
  • Our Centaurs Are Different: Zoastia and Orthrous are centaur-like, but with the body of carnivores rather than horses.
  • Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: If any Demi-human doesn't go to war for Jaldabaoth, they will be sent to camps, enslaved and either get eaten, experimented on or forced to breed chimeras with humans.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The Demi-human tribes don't get along well with each other and tend to argue with each other.
  • Unwitting Pawn: They believe that they're doing their own thing, but they're really just props to be sacrificed for Nazarick's latest PR stunt so the Holy Kingdom becomes indebted to Ainz.

    Bafolk 
One of the resident Demi-humans in the Abelion Hills. Goatlike beastmen who are all fierce warriors.
  • The Berserker: Some bafolk can become berserkers to resist fear effects.
  • Horned Humanoid: All bafolk have horns on their heads.
  • Hostage Situation: When the Holy Kingdom Army and Ainz investigate a village used by the Bafolk as an internment camp, they attempt to raise hostages to tell them to back off. Ainz kills them alongside the hostage anyway to spread the message that their underhanded tactic isn't working.

Buser

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buser.png
The leader of the Bafolk. He has been acknowledged as a powerful fighter by the Holy Kingdom.
  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Acts high and mighty before fighting Ainz, but is quick to throw away his pride when it's clear he has no chance of victory.
  • Always a Bigger Fish: He's one of the strongest demi-humans surrounding the Roble Holy Kingdom to the point that he has the epithet "King of Destruction", but he's still no match in front of Ainz.
  • Villains Want Mercy: After he gets outmatched by Ainz, he gets down on his knees and tries to offer anything of value to save his own skin. Ainz offers him a quick death.
  • Wrecked Weapon: He was known as the "King of Destruction" because of his tendency to disarm foes by breaking their weapons.

Elf Country

A country of elves that are currently at war with the Slane Theocracy.

    In General 

    Elf King (Decem Hougan) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/decem_hougan_light_novel.png
The reviled king of the elves.
  • Abusive Parents: Aside from being a serial rapist, the Elf King frequently sends his children off to the front lines to battle the Slane Theocracy even at ages younger than 10, and feels nothing but disappointment when they die. Add insult to injury, he can't even be bothered to remember their names.
  • Amazon Chaser: Subverted. He targets women whom he perceives as powerful to create strong offspring and doesn't care about their consent or their age.
  • Armor-Piercing Response: When Ainz admits he intended to lower his MP all along, Decem confidently states he can't hope to beat him physically, only to shut his trap once Ainz agrees with him: after all, the Sorcerer King is not going to beat him physically.
  • Asshole Victim: No one weeps for him when he's humiliated by Ainz and assassinated by his own daughter.
  • Attempted Rape: Intends to force Aura and Mare (who he assumes are his grandchildren, by the way) to bear his children after seeing how strong they are. Luckily Ainz puts a stop to that.
  • Bad Boss: In a world with a large mix of grey morality concerning the leaders of different nations and tribes, the Elf King is undoubtedly in the blackest area of deplorable and loathsome. He sees every citizen of his country as being nothing more than a disposable tool, even his own children. Any who don't rise to his expectations are judged as being useless.
  • The Caligula: Due to his desire for world domination and lust for power, the Elf King is ironically doing far more damage to his own country and people than anyone else.
  • Druid: He is a druid specialized in earth magic and Summon Magic.
  • Entertainingly Wrong: Upon meeting Aura and Mare, he somehow assumes they must be his grandchildren based purely on their strength and heterochromia.
  • Fatal Flaw:
    • He is overwhelmingly prideful, and while it's partially justified when it comes to his strength (he is estimated to be above level 70 in a world where anyone above level 40 is a living legend, and can summon a level 87 monster), he could be several times stronger than Ainz and it still wouldn't justify how highly he thinks of himself in comparison to other people. This naturally all comes crashing down once Ainz gets involved.
    • Also surprisingly, his libido. The guy can't see a powerful woman without attempting to rape them for a powerful child he can use as an ultimate weapon. First of all, he captures a woman from a friendly state to rape them and started a war. Secondly, because of his attempted rape of Aura, he pisses off Ainz as well who was only in his kingdom for business matters and didn't intend to attack him, which directly caused his demise. If he doesn't have this disturbing urge to rape any powerful woman he comes across, not only he would be spared from Ainz's wrath and thus his demise, but the Slane Theocracy would still be friendly towards him and his kingdom.
  • Foil: He has many qualities that seem to paint him as something of a reverse version of Ainz himself.
    • While Ainz is constantly modest about his own abilities, the Elf King is dangerously self-absorbed and views himself as being flawless.
    • Ainz views the citizens of Nazarick as being akin to his own family and tries his best to balance being both their master and a paternal figure. On the other hand, many citizens of the Elf Kingdom actually are the blood children of their king and he couldn't care less about them on a personal level. Furthermore, Ainz encourages the people of Nazarick to learn and grow, hoping to make them become more than the simple NPCs they started as, and goes out of his way to protect them. The Elf King sees his children as tools and sends them to die without letting them grow.
    • Whether they are a Floor Guardian or a maid, Ainz makes certain to remember the names of everyone who serves him. But the Elf King will literally forget the existence of his own subjects the second they are no longer of use to him.
    • Being an undead Lich overlord, Ainz is incapable of having sexual intercourse. Whereas Decem is a Serial Rapist with a strong Darwinist Desire.
  • Hate Sink: One of the very few characters who are designed to be as unlikeable as possible, especially when he's found out to be a Serial Rapist who's behind the Elf Kingdom and Slane Theocracy hostilities by capturing and raping God-Kin to see if their offspring gains his power. And that's not even getting into his rape of Aura and Mare and how egregiously powerful he is by New World standards, making sure he's virtually unstoppable by anyone but Ainz and his elites. It's actually cathartic when Ainz and Zesshi give him his well-deserved death.
  • It's All About Me: He has an ego that can match that of a dragon's and is arguably the most despicably self-absorbed person in the series. All he cares about is his own desires, regardless of the consequences of his actions.
    • He's so self-absorbed that his thought process even goes into the territory of Insane Troll Logic, thinking that a concubine killed herself as an act of penitence after giving birth to a child who didn't meet the Elf King's standards.
    • He is utterly convinced that he can just stroll into the Slane Theocracy and ask that they return his property (read "his child that was born after he raped a God-kin from the Theocracy"), completely unaware or uncaring that the Theocracy hates his guts and wants him dead.
  • Minor Injury Overreaction: For a given value of "minor", he gets punched by Ainz in the chest hard enough to damage him (though not enough to incapacitate him), making him feel pain for the first time in his life. Immediately after that, Decem quickly felt fear and took the first chance he got at fleeing.
  • Mirroring Factions: In spite of being in a years-long war with his neighbor to the north, the Elf King ironically has similar views on racial supremacy, except that he believes that the elf race should dominate the continent. Justified, considering both the Elf Kingdom and the Theocracy were allied states before Decem raped a Slane Theocracy elite.
  • Pædo Hunt: To emphasize his loathsome behavior further, he's not above raping children if he finds them strong, and that includes Aura and Mare. Ainz is rightfully disgusted by this, which leads to Decem's brutal beatdown.
  • Pride Before a Fall: He was already at war with the Slane Theocracy by the time he enters the spotlight (and because he raped one of their personnel), and he wasn't terribly bothered at the prospect of losing his country and his people. In fact, he seemed convinced that he could still win if he actually tried to, with the war only lasting as long as it did purely because the elves were on the defensive and had the home advantage. It's not until Ainz indirectly pressures the Theocracy into ending the war once and for all that things really start to go south for him: the Theocracy's army is able to reach the capital city (which is sacked and captured), his concubines are slaughtered by Zesshi (who slips into the castle while Decem is distracted by Ainz), his treasury is pillaged by Nazarick and Ainz utterly humiliates him in a duel before Zesshi assassinates him while he tries to flee. By the end of the war, his people end up slaughtered or enslaved and his bloodline is destroyed.
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: He once raped a God-kin from the Slane Theocracy in one of his many attempts to produce a powerful child. The Black Scripture rescued the woman in question before the child was born, and now the Elf King wants said child returned to him. The child in question is Zesshi Zetsumei, the strongest warrior in the Slane Theocracy. This led to the Slane Theocracy breaking all friendly relations and declaring war against his Kingdom, though the Elves are kept in the dark about it.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Ainz destroys his pet summon and depletes his MP, Decem realizes he's about to die and immediately tries to leg it.
  • Selective Obliviousness: Briefly considers that Ainz might actually be the stronger magic caster of the two, before slipping into denial.
  • Summon Magic: He specializes in summon magic and earth magic, so his specialty in combat is naturally to create earth elementals. Curiously, he can even summon a Primal Earth Elemental despite being lower level than said monster, something normally impossible for summoners, so he must have a rare and powerful build.
  • This Cannot Be!: Decem is utterly flabbergasted when Ainz destroys Behemot, his Primal Earth Elemental summon.
  • Villainous Breakdown: He completely loses his mind when it becomes clear that he's played right into Ainz's hands and that he's no match for him.
  • Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Manages to escape from Ainz after being humiliated by him. He doesn't get far, though.
  • Villainous Incest: Is not above forcing his own descendants to bear his children if he thinks they will give him stronger progeny.

    Blueberry Egnia 

Blueberry Egnia

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blueberry_egnia.png
Does Fiora-dono have a fiance?

A dark elf ranger.


  • Clueless Chick-Magnet: He's completely oblivious to his popularity among the elven women. Ironically, he was completely smitten by Aura's appearance despite her being a child.
  • Love at First Sight: When he first hears, sees, and smells Aura after being rescued by her, Blueberry is completely smitten.
  • Rescue Romance: He fell in love with Aura after being saved by her from the Ankyloursus Lord.

Beastman Country

A country made up of beastmen. They are currently invading the Dragon Kingdom.
  • To Serve Man: The beastmen are invading because they want to eat the citizens of the Dragon Kingdom.

Argland Council State

A nation found northwest of the Re-Estize Kingdom. It is ruled by a council of dragons.

    Platinum Dragon Lord/Tsaindorcus Vaision 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/platinum_dragon_lord.png
Voiced by: Jin Yamanoi (Japanese), R. Bruce Elliott (English) Foreign VAs

One of the Dragon Lords, and depending on the source, their leader and the single most powerful dragon on the New World. Platinum Dragon Lord is incredibly ancient and said to predate the arrival of the Six Gods who uplifted humanity. He is one of the few beings to know that the New World has been invaded by unimaginably powerful outsiders from another dimension known as YGGDRASIL. Starting as far back as six hundred years ago, the actions of these creatures forever changed the New World and earned Platinum's eternal hatred. He now fights a secret war to slay these "Player Characters" before they can do the same to him.


  • Archaeological Arms Race: He spends resources to locate and collect weapons that originate from the YGGDRASIL MMO.
  • Cast from Hit Points: Pandora's Actor observes that his remote-controlled armor loses HP each time it uses a skill or magic. Even using what is speculated to be a World Item drops its HP. It's not clear why this is, but may have something to do with it being piloted remotely in the first place.
  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Apparently he's been successfully doing this over and over again for at least 600 years.
  • Dwindling Party: The deaths and self-imposed hiding of his fellow Dragon Lords in the war against YGGDRASIL has been this to him.
  • Entertainingly Wrong: In volume 14, he draws wildly erroneous conclusions from his armor's battle with Ainz. Justified since Pandora's Actor as Ainz was deliberately holding back to figure out more of his opponent's true nature. "Ainz's" lack of a World Item and Albedo wielding one leads PDL to believe that Albedo is the Player and Ainz is the NPC, with Albedo merely pretending to be a subordinate while using the "Sorcerer King" as a cover. The end result is that PDL is overconfident of his chances of facing Ainz in a rematch with his true body.
  • Fantastic Nuke: He is said to have a Wild Magic spell that can create a Sphere of Destruction. Shalltear's description of the spell's effect was like a verbal recount of footage from Operation Teapot.
  • Flying Weapon: His remote-controlled suit of armor utilizes a number of floating weapons for attack, which it can wield normally if need be. All of them seem to count as individual entities, as they have individual health.
  • Godzilla Threshold: Every time he learns of a new incursion from the YGGDRASIL MMO, he chooses to emerge from the shadows to stomp it out.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: He intends to become this for Ainz, as part of his never-ending fight against the YGGDRASIL players who enter the New World once every century.
  • History Repeats: Once every 100 years players from the YGGDRASIL MMO enter the New World. Each time he has rid them from the New World.
  • Humans Are Cthulhu: In the New World, the term "Player Character" is a word whispered in fear by the secret cabal lead by Platinum Dragon Lord. They aren't aware of the term's true meaning from YGGDRASIL but have associated it as a title for extra-dimensional beings whose power exceed that of the strongest gods.
  • Hypocrite: He claims to be the defender of the world, but does nothing to stop atrocities that affect entire nations. PDL only bothers to interfere when a YGGDRASIL Player is involved. The Beastmen invading the Draconic Kingdom to use humans as a buffet? PDL pays no attention. The Frost Dragons enslaving the Quagoa and attempting to take over an entire mountain range? Radio static from Tsaindorcus. Regardless of his reasons, he does very little for a so-called protectorate. He also says that no one should have too much power. But that puts the Dragon Lords on top of his own list, considering that before Players came along, the dragons ruled the world with an iron fist and there was nothing resembling an even playing field. The introduction of Tier Magic from Players may have weakened the Dragon Lords, but it gave the weaker species in the world a chance to defend themselves from predators. Though to be fair, he does exhibit some self-awareness and acknowledges that his kind have done a colossal amount of damage to the New World and that he has no right to ask forgiveness.
  • No-Sell: The World-Class Item in possession of the Slain Theocracy, has no effect on Platinum. It is unknown if this is because he has his own World-Class Item (possible due to his possession of the Greed King's treasures) or he's immune to the effects of that specific World-Class Item (possible due to being a master of Wild Magic).
  • Orcus on His Throne: He knows about Player Characters, the YGGDRASIL MMO, and opposes their intervention in the New World. He has knowledge from the era of the Six Gods. He rules from the ruins of the Eight Greed Kings guild dungeon and guards their all-powerful guild weapon. He was involved in the disbandment of the Thirteen Heroes. He is aware of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. He mostly just sits on the sidelines. Although he did fight the mind-controlled Shalltear and Pandora's Actor with his remote-controlled suit of armor, those battles didn't go in his favor and he isn't willing to risk challenging the full might of their forces if his armor can't hold its own against them.
  • Out-Gambitted: His decision to use his remote-controlled armor as a drone to confront the "Sorcerer King" to ascertain his abilities, or defeat him while remaining at a safe distance was a good idea. But the problem is, Platinum Dragon Lord never assumed that his foe would do the same thing. Not only did Pandora's Actor hold back while assuming Ainz's form, but he's also not even capable of using 100% of his creator's power in the first place, and was not holding a World Item at the time. Pandora's Actor deduced that Platinum Dragon Lord's armor was a warrior-type that focused on magic defense. And later talks with Albedo and Shalltear have the three guesstimate that the armor is between level 80-90. Meaning, it's of no threat to a Floor Guardian, or even some of their personal bodyguards like the Evil Lords. The end result is that he ends up mistaking Albedo for the player because she was in possession of a World Item, while believing he could reasonably defeat Ainz if necessary.
  • Remote Body: He utilizes a suit of magic armor that can be remote-controlled to carry out his plans, dubbing himself "Riku Aganeia" while wearing it. He used it to attack Shalltear Bloodfallen during her mind-controlled event, but the armor wasn't strong enough to overcome her second form Super Mode. Against Pandora's Actor masquerading as Ainz, he fares somewhat better, but Pandora's Actor deliberately came underequipped to judge his opponent's strength while misleading "Riku" about his own. Whether or not Platinum has more of these suits, or how powerful they are compared to the dragon himself (since the known example is not stronger than a Floor Guardian), remains unknown.
  • Sins of Our Fathers: Throwaway lines imply that Tsaindorcus's father, the so-called Dragon Emperor, was responsible for the continued incursions of YGGDRASIL Players. Tsaindorcus sees it as his own responsibility to clean up after his father's mess by wiping them out.
  • Tactical Withdrawal: He has done this twice, both times when confronted with a Floor Guardian. The first is when PDL's armor attacked Shalltear while she was mind-controlled. Shalltear retaliated by impaling his armor, and the dragon peeled off. The second is when Albedo ripped open his World Separating Wall and almost sent the armor flying into orbit. Needless to say, he's clearly not comfortable fighting a level 100 opponent in the armor.
  • Take a Third Option: Without the full power of Wild Magic, dragons are no match for level 100 YGGDRASIL characters on the battlefield. This has forced Platinum Dragon Lord to work through subterfuge, information control, and third-party agents to defeat his sworn enemies.
  • Unscrupulous Hero: He will protect the world. It doesn't matter how many allies he has to manipulate or kill to do so, so long as it's done.
  • Walking Spoiler: Knowing about him reveals a dangerous foe on par with Ainz's level and knows exactly what he's up against and was successful in battling against the same type of invaders as him.
  • World's Strongest Man: Generally considered to be the most powerful New World native. Word of God has already revealed Deep Darkness Dragon Lord would be a considerable threat to Ainz. If Platinum is truly the most powerful Dragon Lord, he would definitely be no slouch, even before including the possible arsenal he's inherited from the Greed Lords.
  • Zen Survivor: Seems to think of himself as one.
