Necros

In General

The extremely unlucky, tortured, and very famished denizens of the Necroworld. Though they share superficial similarities with the Shushus as creatures aligned with Stasis, the Necros suffer from a legitimate need and overwhelming desire to consume as much Wakfu as they possibly can.

---

• Attack Backfire: The Eliatropes have a hard time fighting them, as Necros feed on Wakfu and thus all of their Wakfu-based energy attacks can't hurt them.
• Dark World: The Necroworld is described by Nora as a "rotten reflection" of the World of Twelve.
• The Dreaded: The mere mentions of their name makes the Eliatrope Goddess tremble in fear.
• Evil Counterpart: The three remaining Necros type consist in this world versions of Sadida (tall, pure white creatures seemingly made of tree bark), Sacrier (squat muscular creatures with downward-pointing flaps on the sides of their mouths that may be part of a face-mask) and Srams (floating, caped creatures with horned skulls for heads).
• Horror Hunger: It may very well be bottomless. Even with the Great Goddess Eliatrope as their prisoner and battery, providing them with a near limitless steady supply of Wakfu, they all still looked like starving husks and their world a blighted wasteland.
• The Jailer: Rather than help them, the Gods of the World of Twelve opt to use their world as a dumping ground for entities they find troublesome and who they wish to be contained in perpetuity or simply dead.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: They all share magenta red eyes tainted with Stasis, alongside Throat Light.
• World-Healing Wave: Their shared Tragic Dream involves gathering enough Wakfu to heal the Necroworld and turn it into a paradise of peace and plenty through one of these. The problem is that the sheer amount of Wakfu necessary to do that would necessitate draining entire worlds of life. And even then, that might not be enough, as seen when the horde of Wakfu they stole from the Sadida Kingdom early in season 4 is just enough to restore Toross' castle to its former glory for a few beautiful but ultimately transient seconds.
  • Even worse, by consuming the wakfu of people they create more necros wich mean more mouths to feed, meaning that they will never succeed because they will never be enough Wakfu
• Zombie Apocalypse: Except that they come from a different world alltogether, rather than appear in the same world as everyone else. The final episode reveals that the Necroworld's infection spread to the entire universe of that world.

Rotalström

A giant dragon who once lived in the Necroworld's main planet, now a servant of Toross.

---

• And I Must Scream: Word of God comfirmed that he is trapped in the tendrils and is still alive but can't move at all
• Befriending the Enemy: A villain case. Toross calls it an old enemy in his introductory scene.
• Breath Weapon: Aside from breathing devastating Stasis, he can chomp down on Wakfu-infused landscape to shoot out a beam of Wakfu to heal his companions or recharge his king.
• Death of Personality: While Dragons are sentient, Rotalström is now nothing more than a giant weapon for his brothers.
• Dracolich: Appears as a colossal, undead Dragon made of rotten flesh, bones and Stasis.
• Hero Killer: His attack on the Sadida stronghold forces Armand to tap so much into the Eliasphere's power that he ends up dying for it, but not without taking Rotalström with him.
• Kaiju: He's absolutely humongous compared to all the other Necros.
• Killed Off for Real: Thanks to Armand's sacrifice and Eliasphere-empowered attack, Rotalström ends up seemingly exhausting all his energy, "shutting down" and becoming part of a giant mass of tendrils in the Sadida Kingdom. Unusually, no other Necros suffers such a fate.

Toross Mordal

Voiced by: Lionel Tua (Season 4)

The king of the Necros.

---

• Alas, Poor Villain: After his invasion is pushed back, Toross somberly returns to his throne, and returns to his slumber, possibly for the last time.
  • Toross even shed a tear about the people the Necros are about to kill, he knows many innocents will suffer but he wants to help his people.
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Begins his first battle with the protagonists by standing still and tanking a flurry of Adamai's blows to prove a point. When the intruders to his realm actually start to put him off balance and legitimately injure him, Toross starts to take the fight seriously, actively dodging attacks and aiming to pick them off one-by-one.
• Badass Cape: Wears a massive tattered cape that often hovers and flutters behind him like a mass of flames, making the ghoulish king more imposing.
• Barrier Warrior: Downplayed, though he can use his ability to summon solid rectangles of Stasis to generate shields.
• Benevolent Boss: Toross's main goal is to feed his people and satiate their unsatiable hunger, no matter what. In fact, he still feels guilty about the state of his former subjects. He is also shown to be quite fond of Efrim, helping the exhausted dragon to get up after delivering Nora to him and offering him to eat. He also listens to his advice, as seen when he suggests killing Yugo, and being wary of Qilby.
• BFS: He wields a large broadsword channeling Stasis energy in combat, which stands out due to how skeletal he is making it appear even larger by comparison.
• Big "NO!": Finally snaps and lets one out when he realizes that Nora has turned Efrim against him and is dropping all the Necros back home.
• Blessed with Suck : His Dofus and statue as a Necros may have made him invulnerable but he suffer from constant hunger and needs Wakfu or else he won't be able to move
• Bond Villain Stupidity: Averted, when Efrim points out how dangerous and full of resources Yugo is, Toross agrees to keep him prisoner for the bare minimum necessary before trying to kill him.
• Bookends: In his full first appearance, Toross is seen slumbering on his throne before rising. When his invasion failed and after losing Nora and Efrim, he returns to his throne and is last seen sitting there again, slumbering once more.
• Classic Villain: Though not without some depth, he is neither as eccentric as Nox or Qilby, nor is his backstory as bizarre as Oropo's. He is fundamentally a dark lord of a fallen kingdom who aims to mount an invasion with his armies.
• Dark Lord on Life Support: Without large doses of Wakfu to rouse him, he can do little else but sit on his throne.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Toross is genuinely remorseful of what his actions have done to his people and his entire crusade is to satisfy their hunger.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Says that he disregards love as a fleeting and disappointing emotion, as he turns Nora into stone. To him, only hunger unites him and his people. This comes to bite him in the face when she frees his brother from his control.
• Expy: To Nox. Their head shapes, jerky motions, and schemes to harvest Wakfu on massive scales are similar, as is the impossibility of what they hope to achieve no matter how much energy they harvest and death they cause. Both his and Nox's quests for the same lead them to the Sadida Kingdom in their respective season finales.
  • He's also one to Ogrest, having gathered all the six Dofus of his world and taking their power so far that he forced the Gods to flee and destroyed the world. Unlike Ogrest though, Toross' brought far more destruction for his goals.
• Fallen Hero: He was the first hero who ever gathered the six Dofus in his world, meaning to do good with them. He ended up being responsible for the current state of the Necroworld.
• Fatal Flaw: Wrath. Not even becoming a Necros has been enough to completely subdue his fiery temper, making it impossible to negotiate with him but also leaving him susceptible to impulsive tactical missteps. A key part to his defeat lies in how he becomes so caught up in the final duel, both reveling in exercising his strength and furious as to how his opponents keep getting in his way, that when Goultard performs an extremely powerful but telegraphed attack, Toross hatefully decides to take it head-on when he could have easily dodged it, allowing Yugo to blindside him and land a decisive blow.
• Foil: To Qilby, who opposes him as a Nominal Hero in season 4. They have comparable fighting styles and aims, but while Qilby's motives for wanting to drain the World of Twelve were entirely selfish, Toross wants to do so for the benefit of the Necros. This is also reflected in how the heroes view them. Qilby is looked upon with suspicion and contempt due to everyone around him knowing who he is and what he's capable of. Toross, while a terrifying force who needs to be stopped, is regarded with a measure of sympathy for the unenviable situation he and the Necros find themselves in.
• Hard Light: He can conjure rectangles of reddish-purple Stasis to serve as footsteps for him to move around in the air or form shields.
• Invincible Villain: Not only he has the Six Dofus like Ogrest (which allows him to go toe to toe with Gods), but since he's a Necros he cannot be killed by conventional means and can easily replenish his strength in combat just by snatching his opponents (at the same time weakening them). The only way the heroes can beat him is to kick him back into his dimension and seal the way out for good.
• The Juggernaut: He tanked hits from Adamai empowered by the dofus, Yugo unleashing the full powers of the dofus and Goultard using Iop god's powers. Toross didn't seem the worse for wear despite it.
• Like Cannot Cut Like: Unlike Wakfu, Stasis is difficult to properly mine for energy without very specialized processes and equipment. Though he can use it offensively as a Necros, Toross cannot absorb Stasis like he can Wakfu, making it safe to attack him with bombardments or weapons consisting of it. Yugo managing to craft a stasis sword during the final battle is what eventually puts Toross on the backfoot as he can't adjust his fighting style in time to account for this new element.
• Magic Knight: A deft hand at swordsmanship. And he can fire lasers out of his eyes.
• Manipulative Bastard: Instead of killing Efrim when the latter stayed behind to allow Nora and the Eliatrope Goddess to escape, Toross turned him into a Necros. He then used him and his link with his sister to invade the World of Twelve. Before leaving with her brother, Nora tells him that he will never use them again.
• My God, What Have I Done? : Toross regrets how recklessly he used his dofus and destroyed his world. Had he been wiser, not only his would would still have life but his people would have not becomes wakfu vampires
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: his decision to feed the necros with Yugo's wakfu ended up accelerting his aging, giving to Yugo an adult body much more suited to fight. Then the eliotropes gave to Yugo the experience he needed to properly fight Toross
• Not Quite Flight: Toross can levitate and even propel himself through the air to an extent, but he chiefly keeps up with airborne foes by creating floating stairways with his magic to stabilize his footing and to allow for powerful grounded strikes no matter how high up he is.
• One-Man Army: During his first trip across the portal he single-handedly obliterates the whole city of Brakmar on his own, mostly offscreen. He returns to the Necroworld after that, disappointed.
• Outside-Context Problem: Notably, he's the only main villain in the entire series who has nothing to do with Oropo's manipulations.
• Shadow Archetype: Toross wields the Necroworld's version of the Dofus in a manner not too dissimilar from how Yugo sometimes uses the ones in the World of Twelve. Like Yugo, he's a wry yet courageous warrior who genuinely wants what's best for his people. They diverge in their attitudes towards harvesting Wakfu for that end. Yugo past and present is fiercely against doing this on populated worlds, even if it would be for the benefit of the Eliatropes. Toross sees no other option to save the Necros from their eternal torment. Toross even tells Yugo that his powers would destroy his world, no matter how good or bad his intentions would be, just like Toross did himself.
• Single Tear: Sheds one upon seeing Yugo's torture. As he stated, he doesn't necessarily enjoy the destruction he's causing, but he feels he has no other choices.
• The Stoic: He never raises his voice beyond his creepy monotone most of the time. Justified in that, being a Necros, he no longer has true feelings, only endless hunger. Unlike his people though, he still has some remains of emotions, which he labels as a curse.
• Strong and Skilled: The season 4 finale shows how monstrous someone empowered by Dofus like Ogrest but with immense martial and mystical prowess on top of that would be to fight.
• Villain Has a Point: Sincerely, if acidly, warns Yugo that tampering with Stasis as he and all his friends have done to fight the Necros can have dire consequences. This is something of a Call-Forward to the events of Waven where a humongous explosion caused by a volatile reaction between Wakfu and Stasis causes yet another civilization-shattering flood akin to Ogrest's Chaos called "The Great Wave". While it's not as bad as creating another Necroworld, this calamity leaves the survivors of the World of Twelve with even fewer inhabitable islands to live on.
• Weak, but Skilled: Relatively speaking. Toross is far stronger than any of his subjects, but his immense Wakfu needs coupled with the inherent agony of being a Necros makes him come across as this when he attacks Yugo's group. As the clash drags out, Toross uses a mixture of cunning, skill, and outright viciousness to turn the tide in his favor, which causes his prey to flee and allows him the chance to capture Yugo.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Nora described him exactly as this: his cause was just, his methods were not, leading to the forming of the Necroworld. Even now he seeks to remove all hatred, jealousy and evil from the World of Twelve... by turning everything into a hunger-driven Necros.
• World's Best Warrior: Unmatched in single combat, capable of deflecting almost any blow, even from an immortal fighter of immense experience such as Goultard. The only way anyone ever manages to even hit him is because Toross tends to fight alone so his army can make gains elsewhere on the battlefield, giving his enemies a chance to (briefly) outflank him.
• World's Strongest Man: As the King of the Necros and bearer of the Six Dofus of the Necroworld, he's the mightiest fighter of that dimension, easily fighting back several of the World of Twelve's strongest heroes with ease.

The Turned (Season 4 massive spoilers)

Voiced by: Donald Reignoux (Season 4)

Toross's right-hand man. He is actually Efrim, Nora's dragon-brother, and a key part of the Necros invasion.

---

• Abandonment-Induced Animosity: Though he willingly stayed behind to allow Nora and their mother to escape, Efrim greatly suffered in the Necroworld, and he blames both for using him and then throwing him away to rot, leaving him to turn into a Necros.
• Breath Weapon: He can breathe Stasis flames.
• Demonic Possession: Efrim can possess his sister to use his knowledge to open up the portals to the Necroworld and to talk to their mother, though it costs him a lot of energy to do so. In the end, Nora does the opposite to force Efrim to open the gates to send every Necros back.
• Emotionless Reptile: When seeing Yugo drained of his Wakfu, his brother, Efrim admits to his master that he feels nothing. It's telling that Toross is the one crying instead. He also feels nothing when he delivers Nora to his king, and he claims to her that the brother she once knew is no more.
  • Possibly defied in the end, as when Nora suggests that a part of him allowed her to take control of his body to stop the Necros invasion, he doesn't deny it.
• Evil Sounds Raspy: His voice is low and very raspy, fitting for a dragon.
• Fallen Hero: Formerly one of the protagonists of Islands of Wakfu before he was Reforged into a Minion.
• Not Quite Dead: Both Nora and the Eliatrope Goddess believed him to have perished against Toross. Not only is Efrim still around, he is now serving the Necros.
• Eye Colour Change: While under Toross's control, Efrim's eyes are purple. When under Nora's influence, they are blue.
• The Rival: To Adamai, as he taunts him in Nora's body. They eventually clash during the final battle.
• So Proud of You As he freezes with Nora in space, smiling at her, Efrim tells her she's been very strong.
• Space Is Cold: His ultimate fate. Though Nora released him from Toross's control, Efrim is still a Necros, and thus still a slave to his hunger. Nora teleported him and herself to the edge of the universe, where they would hibernate together in peace.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers one to the Eliatrope Goddess while in Nora's body, accusing her of being cowardly and selfish.
  • Also delivers one to Nora herself, blaming her for his Fate Worse than Death while she is trying to take control of his body to stop the Necros invasion.

Eliatropes

The Traitor (MASSIVE SPOILERS)

Qilby

^{Click here to see Qilby's form while he is fused with the Elicube}

^{Click here to see Qilby's post-Eliacube form}

^{And click here to see Qilby's Season 4 form}

Voiced by: Erik Colin (FR, Season 2), Laurent Morteau (FR, Season 3), Arthur Bostrom (EN, Season 2), Joe Ochman (EN, Season 3), Alberto Bognanni (IT)

An elderly, one-armed member of the Eliatrope Council of Six, who emerges from the Eliacube when Yugo and Adamaï use it in conjunction with Grougaloragran and Chibi's Dofus the second season. Qilby tells the story of the Eliatropes and their ultimate fate, and his request to the group kicks off the bulk of the second season's plot. He's a kind, grandfatherly type who possesses considerable knowledge, but seems troubled about something in his past.

He is, in fact, a unique Eliatrope capable of remembering every moment of all his past lives, which slowly drove him to insanity and eventually turned him into a nihilistic lunatic. He deliberately jump-started the Eliatrope-Mechasm war when he violently harvested Orgonax's heart to create the Eliacube, which decimated his people and permanently forced them off their homeworld, because he was fed up with them staying confined to one world. He's since been using the Zinit to travel from world to world, sucking each one dry of its Wakfu, and endlessly striking down his brothers Adamaï and Yugo — the latter of whom he envies for being chosen as the king of their people over him — whenever they try to stop him.

---

• 0% Approval Rating: Qilby has believed ever since Chibi passed the title of kingship to Yugo that he should have been their people's second king instead due to the insights that his transcendent memory afforded him, and he tries in Season 2 to outright claim leadership over the surviving Eliatrope children in Emrub by force so that he can drag his kindred back on his star-voyaging. As it stands, no-one wants Qilby to be the Eliatropes' leader at all, on account of his insanity, self-centeredness, and his atrocities which destroyed their civilization and led their loved ones to be slaughtered by the Mechasms, plus his intentions to sacrifice Yugo's adoptive homeworld to get the Zinit flying again. Even Shinonome stops supporting Qilby at the end of Season 2, when she decides that he's gone too far for even her liking.
• Acquired Situational Narcissism: Without something empowering him such as the Eliacube or a Dofus, he's cowardly enough to grovel at a young Yugo's feet. Twice. Even when he does, he'll smugly thumb his nose at those that dwarf his abilities like Rushu and teleport away from their wrath. It isn't until season 4 where he gets to truly show his mettle, possessing some of the greatest artifacts in the franchise, and must fight against ferocious enemies like Lokus and Toross Mordal who can kill him despite how much power he's amassed with true escape not really being an option.
• Admiring the Abomination: Because Qilby's core motivation is to stave off boredom, what might be terrifying to others will only elicit interest from him if it's something he's never seen before. He admits to Adamai he found the Fire and Brimstone Hell of the Shukrute to be fascinating. He's also very enthusiastic to get a first-hand look at the Necroworld in the process of stopping its denizens.
• Alas, Poor Villain:
  • While he's a completely unrepentant creature who was responsible for many atrocities — the exodus of the Eliatropes, the destruction of their planet and other worlds, and the war with the Mechasms — one can't help but feel sorry due to how horrible and reasonable his descent into madness is, for how it started because of something he was born with and couldn't help, and for how he ends up after his defeat. Trapped in the Blank Dimension yet again after he was stripped of the Eliacube by Shinonome, wandering around in nothingness forever. Despite their antipathy for him, even Yugo and Baltazar seem to feel it's a worse fate than he deserved. The manga outright confirms Yugo feels bad about sending Qilby back to the White Dimension.
    Yugo: It's done, Baltazar.
    Baltazar: Yet we don't feel better for it.
  • At the end of Season 4, Qilby, who has been an antihero throughout the season, uses his dying minutes to rescue Yugo from the Necroworld. Despite their millennia-old rivalry, Qilby and Yugo manage to part on good terms as Qilby expires, and Qilby takes comfort in knowing he's about to finally rejoin Shinonome inside their Dofus after thousands of years apart from her. The Eliatrope Goddess, and even Yugo himself despite his feelings about Qilby, are moved to tears by his passing.
• Ambiguously Evil: When he returns aligned with the living members of his family in Season 4, the question of whether he's truly on the good guys' side by default or is just biding his time to screw them over as he has before is a recurring source of tension. Ultimately, he isn't involved in the Necromes' invasion at all, and while he's an anti-hero who's still selfish and unrepentant, he never turns against the heroes outright; performing a Villain's Dying Grace for Yugo which ensures the latter has a chance of saving the world from the Necromes.
• Ambition Is Evil: He's not immune to a fascination with power, which he acknowledges in Season 4. He hints that it was another reason why he harvested Orgonax's heart to create the Eliacube, and in the present, he awakens the Mechasm Lokus and provokes it to hostility so that he can fashion a new and even more powerful Eliasphere. Although he's content to pass the Eliasphere on to Yugo so the latter can stop the Necromes devouring all life amid his Villain's Dying Grace.
• And I Must Scream: He already finds his immortality to be a form of this, but he ends up imprisoned indefinitely in a Blank White Void where he's all alone in perpetual sensory deprivation, and apparently unable to physically die so his soul might escape back to his Dofus. This is made even worse by that fact that Qilby's character is motivated by the desire to stave off monotony and boredom — the White Dimension is a kind of absolute hell basically tailor made for him.
• Artificial Limbs: Upon merging with the Eliacube, it transforms into a new, clawed arm made of pure wakfu with all kinds of combative capabilities, attached where Qilby's old arm used to be. The merger also seems to lower Qilby's inhibitions on the Ax-Crazy.
• An Arm and a Leg: He lost his left arm via it being torn off by Phaeris.
• Arc Villain: Shapes up to be the main antagonist of Season 2. Albeit the demon threat is a more season long issue, once Qilby plays his hand 2/3 into the season, things get dark, fast.
• Ax-Crazy: While he's normally quite calm and composed, when he's forced to drop the facade of being a good guy, he's an absolute lunatic. This side of him becomes more prominent after he merges with the Eliacube.
• Beam Spam: As demonstrated in his fight against Adamai and Yugo, as both an adult Eliatrope and with the Eliacube he can create multiple portals and as a result fire multiple beams both in a rapid-fire way and setting up simultaneous shots. During the fight with Phaeris, he shows off the ability to form an Energy Ball that then splits into multiple homing beams. Exaggerated during the Final Battle where, in order to counter all the Eliatropes attacking him at once, he wraps his entire body within his Wakfu arm to form a sphere and forms portals on every inch of the sphere's surface to basically carpet bomb his surroundings with beams.
• Beard of Evil: It even turns black and grow longer when he transforms.
• Berserk Button: He doesn't like his title "the Traitor". When Yugo correctly (and uncomfortably for Qilby) vivisects the true root of all Qilby's actions, the Slasher Smiles completely disappear for the rest of Qilby's final scene.
• Big Bad Duumvirate: His past actions along with his present motivations lead to him forming one with Rushu as of Episode 20.
• Big "NO!": He unleashes a couple frantic, desperate nos at the top of his voice both times that Yugo sends him to the White Dimension, begging his brother not to leave him to such a horrible fate.
• Big "SHUT UP!": Gives one when Yugo correctly diagnoses his crippling loneliness, and triggers the start of his Villainous Breakdown.
  Yugo: If you want to leave, go ahead. Don't mind us.
  Qilby: Shut up!
  Yugo: But no matter what you say, you'll be leaving alone!
  Qilby: (attacks) Shut! UUUUUUUUUP!
• Blessed with Suck: And how! As one of the original six Eliatropes and their dragon siblings, Qilby is immortal. Unlike the others, Qilby and his direct sister Shinonome remember all their past lives. This might seem pretty useful, and probably was for a while, but after countless years, Qilby and Shinonome being unable to forget (or die to escape it) has driven them well and truly insane — worsened by that fact that everyone around Qilby except his twin did forget. And then, he was locked in an empty dimension cut off from his sister.
• Blood Knight: He claims he never liked participating in violence and calls people who do so idiots, but boy, does he love a good fight! Every single time he fights with anyone, he's clearly getting a kick out of it.
• Bond Villain Stupidity: He has quite a bit of Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? tendency, but the prize winner is when he has Yugo at his mercy in the White Dimension and can easily leave him trapped there while he moves on with Shinonome and the Eliacube to Emrub, but instead he offers to take Yugo with him to Emrub to meet his people and then trap him back in the White Dimension afterwards. Doing this only lowered Qilby's chances of convincing the Eliatrope children to join him, to say nothing of how Yugo is the Eliatropes' rightful king.
• Bullying a Dragon: Tries to demand the Eliacube back from Yugo once he loses it. When he refuses, Qilby tries to feebly attack him. This earns him a return trip to the Blank Dimension.
• The Bus Came Back: After being imprisoned in the White Dimension at the end of Season 2, he makes an appearance in Season 3 as one of the phantoms tormenting Yugo by Oropo. He fully returns in Season 4 as one of the Eliatropes awaiting the arrival of Yugo and his party in Ingloriom, having been freed from the White Dimension offscreen by Nora and the Eliatrope Goddess.
• Cain and Abel: Technically the Cain to Yugo, Adamaï, Phaeris and Baltazar's Abel after his Ax-Crazy Power-Up — he gets an Evil Laugh out of fighting with or hurting each of them, and implies that he would've killed Phaeris and put Yugo in the White Dimension for their past acts against him (it's worth noting, he knows they'd reincarnate if he killed them). Furthermore, Qilby has an elderly adult body (which was born thousands of years ago), while Yugo is a child due to Born-Again Immortality. In Season 4, Qilby and Yugo look like a pair of siblings who can't get along when they butt heads in front of their distressed mother despite the latter's efforts to calm them down.
• The Chessmaster: He manipulates the main cast as well as the Shushus to get stuff done for him, and only steps in personally to reap the rewards. He has also done this in the past by manipulating his fellow Eliatropes countless times, notably in his gambit leave their original homeworld.
• Clothing Damage: His shirt is shredded and completely gone when he merges with the Eliacube. He stays topless when he's separated from the cube.
• Confusion Fu: When Qilby gets serious, he'll use all manner of tricks, such as abusing his portal powers to fire unpredictable shots or jumping into and out of them at random to launch surprise attacks, or he'll twist, enlarge, stretch and contort his wakfu arm in all different ways to launch attacks at different angles.
• Consummate Liar: Deceives the entire Brotherhood of Tofu and the Sadida Kingdom and numerous others about himself and his intentions.
• Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Nox in Season 1 was a tragic case of Love Makes You Evil who sought to bring his dead family back, he furthermore is able to justify his countless and ruthless atrocities under the belief that all the harm will be erased from time when he succeeds in his mission, and once he gets a Pyrrhic Victory he becomes a Self-Disposing Villain. Qilby is a Black Sheep who betrayed his family and people to stave off his own pain, he's a Straw Nihilist who simply doesn't care about all the harm he causes others because he believes it means nothing to the Krosmoz nor to an immortal such as him, and part of Qilby's Villainous Breakdown is a Redemption Rejection when confronted by the only being he truly loved. It's also worth noting, Nox was perceived by all the characters as a heartless psychopath but was revealed to the audience to be an Anti-Villain with a particularly-compelling end-goal, whereas Qilby is a case of Evil All Along who cares about his own benefit most of all.
• Cool Airship: The Zinit which he engineered. Its a Generation Ship, big enough to serve as a transport for the entire Eliatrope race. Its side its more apparent when you consider in modern times its actually considered the biggest mountain in the world, after being covered by rubble for the ages.
• Cool Old Guy: As the elder mentor to Yugo and Adamai, he comes across as being pretty chill... at least at first. When he reveals his true colors though, it becomes Evil Old Folks.
• The Corrupter: His theft of Orgonax's heart turned the once peaceful and nature-loving mechasm into a Super-Persistent Predator obsessed with vengeance against the Eliatropes, to the point that he was willing to hunt them across the stars, enslave a species (the Lu-Fus) and exterminate them just to get revenge and take his heart back.
• Creepy Souvenir: He keeps the preserved bodies of many species he encountered on various worlds (some of which are extinct) in tanks onboard the Zinit for research and study, and he gets quite peeved when Adamaï and Grougal start destroying them.
• Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: Qilby is scientific-minded, and he loves discovering new things, which paradoxically makes his eternal existence more bearable after thousands of years of having his eidetic memory overloaded past the point of insanity. Desperation to explore the stars once there was nothing new on his homeworld for him, married with an unwillingness to take to the stars alone, led him to force his people to evacuate their homeworld with him in search of a new planet via engineering a war with the Mechasms which decimated them. When the other Eliatropes were ready and willing to settle down permanently on a new world, Qilby sabotaged them again to avoid being confined to one planet again, leading to his horrific imprisonment in the White Dimension in order to neutralize him. When Qilby is freed from the White Dimension thousands of years later, in Season 2, he tries to resume his plans for exploring the Krosmoz via draining the World of Twelve of its wakfu ASAP.
• Deadpan Snarker: He becomes incredibly snarky with Rushu and the other Shushus. Best seen when Rushu performs a Parrot Exposition on him, only for Qilby to asks if there's an echo there.
• Driven to Madness: One of his core tenets as a character. As explained above in how he is Blessed with Suck, Qilby (and probably Shinonome as well), became a complete nutjob after enough time, to the point that the only way to stave off the monotomy was to travel around the universe, nevermind the fact that his spaceship requires wakfu on planetary levels to fully activate.
• Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Something bad definitely happened to Qilby before he met Yugo. Not that he didn't have it coming.
• Early-Bird Cameo: In the Season 1 finale, in one of the Freeze-Frame Bonus Eliacube visions — it even plays more visibly right before he's freed from the White Dimension, and it makes him look particularly untrustworthy◊.
• Energy Ball: One of the powers he uses in his fight with Yugo.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite all his crimes and his refusal to repent for them, he's not heartless.
  • He genuinely has nothing but love for his Dofus sister Shinonome, as they've shared the burden of unending life and memory across the eons.
  • Whilst it's largely buried under a mountain of resentment, bitterness, hurt, rage and vengeance, and whilst he isn't above hurting them at all; Qilby's love for his and Shinonome's other siblings isn't completely gone. Yugo pieces together that Qilby, for all his talk to the contrary, ultimately can't and won't settle for exploring the Krosmoz without the rest of his and Shinonome's family by his side, hence why he never carries out any of his threats of abandoning them and insists on taking them along with him despite all the trouble that it causes him. Despite hating Yugo the most out of his siblings for being chosen as their people's king over him, and for sending him to the White Dimension, Qilby still rescues Yugo when the latter is imprisoned in the Necroworld by Toross; because, as Qilby puts it, he still considers them to be brothers first and adversaries second, and he parts with Yugo on good terms before dying and returning to his Dofus.
  • He genuinely loves his mother, the Eliatrope Goddess, and bears her no ill will despite her part in him being Blessed with Suck.
• Evil All Along: He's presented as an ally to the Brotherhood of the Tofu for most of Season 2, before revealing his insanity and true agenda in his last few episode appearances.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: He doesn't understand Yugo's protectiveness of the World of Twelve as a Happily Adopted kid after Yugo learns they and their people originated on another world.
• Evil Cripple: Although after he revealed himself to be evil, he got rid of the "cripple" part by giving himself a Wakfu arm. He's back to cripple status by the season 2 finale.
• Evil Genius: Similar to Nox Qilby is a scientific and engineering genius having been capable of creating much of the Eliatropes' technology and medicine over centuries of researches, to create the Eliacube with Orgonax's heart and to create the Zinit a space-travel ship powered by the Eliacube and very large amounts of wakfu.
• Evil Makes You Ugly: Played with. After he's separated from the Eliacube, his hair has been discolored, his lips remain blue and his fingernails black; and if one looks closely, there are scar-like marks where his Eliacube-fused form's tattoos used to be. In Season 4, after having been rescued from the White Dimension, Qilby is back in a pale, black-haired form close to his Eliacube-fused form, implying that his current body during the series has been permanently altered by his actions.
• Fantastic Racism: He considers himself and his people to be above every other form of life, looking down on the sapient inhabitants of the World of Twelve. To the point where he doesn't think anything of eradicating entire inhabited worlds to fuel his intergalactic voyage.
• Foreshadowing: There are several hints towards his true nature well before The Reveal.
  • Qilby says that he was the king of the Eliatropes, but supplemental materials reveal that the true ruler was Yugo, making his whole story suspect.
  • In his first appearance he is scared shitless by Yugo and Adamai. At first this seems understandable considering he was just yanked into an unfamiliar place and surrounded by apparent strangers. But note how he does recognize Yugo and Adamai while backing away and is still keeping up his guard.
  • He makes a few comments about his good memory over the season.
  • While a noticeable little terror even otherwise, Baby Grougal hates him.
• Freudian Excuse: If we take Qilby's words at face value, it's implied his Start of Darkness was also influenced by the rest of the Council of Six neglecting him and showing less care for him than he felt he needed.
  Qilby: (to Yugo) Why was my happiness worth less than yours?!
• Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: On the receiving end. Despite his curse and insanity, his family find it very hard to pity him, with his brothers focusing solely on their outrage over the scope of his crimes and the suffering he caused. Shinonome, who shares Qilby's burden of eidetic immortal memory, initially supported his early crimes as a result, but even she ends up drawing the line and telling him that he's gone too far at the end of Season 2.
• The Glasses Come Off: When he finally gets serious, his spectacles explode.
• Genius Cripple: He's missing an arm, having lost it in a battle with Phaeris. Still good enough at manipulating wakfu to pull Yugo and co. out from the Shushu Realm.
• Giggling Villain: Largely avoids full blown cackles, instead favoring more reserved giggles.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: After merging with the Eliacube.
• Hand Blast: One of the many powers he shares with Yugo, used to dangerous effect in their battle.
• Hates Being Alone: At his core, Qilby is a person who fears being all alone, likely brought about by how isolated his effective immortality has already made him from the rest of existence. It's heavily implied to be a big reason for why he started the war with the Mechasms: he needed to give a big enough reason for the rest of the Eliatropes to want/need to abandon their homeworld with him when it's highly likely his people would have given him and Shinonome their blessings had they chosen to go it alone. It's the big reason why he committed so much to Complexity Addiction for his plan in Season 2; deep down, he wanted to convince the other Eliatropes and Dragons he was right and they could all be friends and family again to get back to Krosmoz-cruising (The World of Twelve being an unfortunate but necessary causality).
• Hidden Disdain Reveal: Once he reveals his true colors, he gleefully punches Baby Grougal in the face when he tries to attack him, admitting that he was waiting to do that for a long while after the black dragon's previous attacks on his person.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: After acting like the rightful king of the Eliatropes, he's finally attacked by the entire enraged Eliatrope race. And after scheming the whole season to reclaim his sister Shinonome, she's the one to deliver the final blow.
  • Yugo knew nothing of his true prison and the place to send him back to, nor how to ensure he remained trapped; that is of course until Qilby showed it to him and threatened to let Yugo "spend a few thousand years" there, while also revealing his Eliacube arm was the key to the place.
• Immortal Immaturity: He's the only Eliatrope to retain his memory across every reincarnation since their creation thousands to billions of years ago, he throws violent tantrums if you hit the wrong nerve, and he makes up excuses for his actions because being confronted with his true motivation drives him properly mad. It's suggested he might've once been a wise being, but eons of returning to life and remembering all of it degraded him to this.
• Ironic Hell: The Blank Dimension which is devoid of anything and is a place where he's unable to die, depriving him of the limited surroundings and cycle of rebirth he resented all his life.
• It's All About Me: Boy Howdy! Especially apparent when he starts explaining his motives. Basically, he destroyed the Eliatrope civilization and wants to do worse to the World of Twelve because he doesn't want to be "confined" to one planet. When called out on the destruction and death he's caused, he accuses them of not taking his feelings into account. Somewhat justified in that he's had an eidetic memory and involuntary eternal life for several million years, which has drove him completely and utterly nuts. His mother the Eliatrope Goddess admits in Season 4 that Qilby was always an inherently selfish person before he went mad, only likely to help others if there was some gain to be had.
• Lack of Empathy: He doesn't care about how many worlds he has to ravage just to get what he wants, and is capable of turning on, condemning and directly murdering his former allies without so much as batting an eye. The only living beings he really cares about are his family — and even then, his and Shinonome's other siblings aren't at all exempt from his Ax-Crazy tendencies, likely because they'll just reincarnate without their memories if they die.
• Laser Blade: He can summon a Sinister Scythe made out of pure wakfu from his Eliacube arm.
• Laser-Guided Karma: After an entire season of betraying everyone he allied himself with including his brothers Yugo and Adamaï, the definitive blow that defeats him comes from his beloved twin sister Shinonome, the one being in all existence he thought he could trust.
• Laughing Mad: When his Mask of Sanity comes off, he's prone to bouts of manic laughter, especially when he's fighting, reflecting the damage that tens of thousands of years' worth of eidetic memory have done to his psyche which twisted him into the spiteful maniac he now is.
• Light Is Not Good: Wears white robes, his skin color when fused with the Eliacube is chalk white and his powers glow bright blue. He's also batshit insane and thinks nothing of destroying entire worlds.
• Limp and Livid: When Qilby fights, he has a noticeable habit of twisting around and hunching over like he's constantly being jerked around on strings.
• Mad Scientist: He has a collection full of preserved specimens of extinct species, and when they were destroyed, he screamed about 'his research'. And there's also his special ability to remember things across reincarnations, which would definitely make it easier for him to conduct really long-term research projects.
• Marked Change: Curving tattoo-like marks form all over his body when he merges with the Eliacube. They fade to faint marks when he's severed from the cube.
• Mark of the Beast: Qilby gets black, tattoo-like markings all across him body, along with a Power Up Full Color Change, when he merges with the Eliacube and reveals his villainous nature. Slightly-discolored imprints of his marks linger after he's separated from the Eliacube and reverted to a more normal-looking form. In Qilby's Season 4 form, the facial markings are back without the Eliacube, albeit now glowing blue instead of black.
• Mask of Sanity: When first met, there's nothing about his demeanor that suggests his latent insanity and unstable nature. Even in the moments following his unsealing, he reacts like any person who's apparently just confused and fearful of being in an unfamiliar place would. After that, he gives off the air of a tired and old man weighed down by his traumatic past, but still a kind man nonetheless. Then he gets his hands on and merges with the Eliacube, the Power Up Full Color Change and Slasher Smile comes out, and the mask falls away and stays off for the rest of the time.
• Mid-Battle Tea Break: His fight with Adamaï and Grougal has a brief one when Adamaï bursts into hysterics over Qilby's rather amusing reaction to seeing a baby dragon in his face despite himself. Grougal and Qilby both join in in laughing with him for several moments, before Adamaï stops and the fight resumes.
• Mood-Swinger: After merging with the Eliacube, he's capable of swinging from utter anger to maniacal laughter to being eerily placid (not necessarily in that order).
• Mr. Exposition: His intro episode consists of a long tale of the Eliatropes, their history, and their leaders. But it contains at least one huge lie.
• My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Supplemental materials suggest that the Eliatropes were by and large a cultured, peaceful race, despite their immense power. Qilby is proof that it takes just one madman with that kind of power to ruin everything for everyone else.
• Near-Villain Victory: Despite the best efforts of Yugo and the Eliatrope children, Qilby successfully overpowers them and finally takes back his Dofus with Shinonome inside. It's only by the decision of Shinonome to betray and separate him from the Eliacube that Yugo obtains the means to lock him away again.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain:
  • Had he left Yugo in the Blank White Void immediately when he had Yugo at his mercy, instead of first taking him to Emrub — leading to the Rightful King Returns before the Final Battle — he might have actually won.
  • Played with in Emrub, where his Drunk on the Dark Side tendency towards hurting Baltazar pretty much erases any chance he had of convincing the Eliatrope children to join him in exploring the Krosmoz.
• Not Me This Time: In Season 4, Yugo and Adamaï, understandably unwilling to trust Qilby after his past actions, suspect him of helping the Necromes to invade the World of Twelve much like he previously did for the Shushus. Yugo, still dealing with the guilt and trauma from Oropo and the Eliotropes' actions and projecting it onto Qilby, makes chronic accusations against Qilby at the slightest semblance of suspicion, jumping the gun outright at one point when he starts a rematch fight with him, and it gets to the point where it almost becomes a morbid Running Gag. In actuality, Qilby really is on the good guys' side and has nothing to do with their enemies, this time, and he's genuinely exasperated by the constant finger-pointing.
  Yugo: I knew it, Qilby!
  Qilby: Yugo, blame me one more time and the Necromes will be the least of your worries!
• Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Qilby says he's ravaging planets in an effort to find a perfect home for his people, but he really just wants to cruise the Krosmoz for the sake of sating his own curiosity, regardless of whatever happens to others because of it.
• Oh, Crap!: A serious one when he freezes in fear and shock when he realizes that he's standing in the Blank Dimension again, but now Yugo has the Eliacube and is about to seal him inside again.
• Old Master: Probably the oldest being in the entire universe, short of only the Eliatrope and the Great Dragon, his direct parents. Best shown by the fact that he created the Eliacube, and what he can do with it, even if it's completely emptied by Wakfu, makes Nox's attempts look like a child's guess.
• Omnicidal Maniac: A variant of it. Life serves no use to him besides as something to observe, just to later use it as a power source for his spaceship.
• One-Winged Angel: After merging with the Eliacube.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: After merging with the Eliacube, he has outbursts of anger at Yugo and his siblings for their perceived past betrayal of him, but they rarely last more than several moments due to his Mood-Swinger tendency. After Yugo hits his most tentative Berserk Button, Qilby's smirks and laughs disappear and don't come back for the scene's remainder.
• Past-Life Memories: While all the original Eliatropes and their Dragon siblings reincarnate, only Qilby and his sister Shinonome actually retain the memories of their past lives. This was meant to help them in their roles as the knowledge-keepers of their society, but nobody seemed to realize just what countless centuries of life and remembering all of it while no one else does would do to a person.
• Please, Don't Leave Me: He pleads for Yugo not to seal him away in the Blank Dimension again, claiming he'll be alone and go crazy. Yugo bluntly tells him he's already both by his own actions.
• Power Up Full Color Change: When he finally decides to get involved directly and reveal his true colors. Merging with the Eliacube to make himself more powerful causes Qilby's skin to turn paper-white with black markings, his brown hair turns black, and his eyes turn icy blue. His skin and eyes initially return to normal once he's separated from the Eliacube while his hair becomes straw-colored. In Season 4, though Qilby lacks the Eliacube or any substitute, he's largely reverted to his Eliacube-fused color scheme, except that the markings below his head are now absent and the ones on his head have turned blue.
• Rapid-Fire "No!": He lets loose a soft, meek one when Yugo transports them both back to the White Dimension.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Receives one from Yugo in the form of a correct deconstruction of Qilby's unwillingness to travel the Krosmoz without company.
  Qilby: Well, go ahead! Explain to us why I won't get rid of you and that dear Baltazar?
  Yugo: Because you'll end up alone, Qilby, and that's your greatest fear. You claim you could get rid of us, but from the beginning you've been spending your time gathering us together. You could've defeated us a hundred times. [...] You betrayed your people, started a war, caused the downfall of your brothers and now you're about to destroy a world. But you don't want to leave alone. The problem is that we all know your real face. The masks have fallen off, Qilby. [...] my heart tells me that no-one will follow you.
• Red Baron: He is often called Qilby the Traitor, a title that he resents.
• Redemption Rejection: When confronted by Shinonome over all the damage and suffering his selfish actions have caused their people and asked Was It Really Worth It?, Qilby is clearly reflecting and considering the question for a moment... before morosely telling her that, yes, it was for him.
• Revenge: He threatens to put Yugo in the same Blank White Void where he was trapped for a few thousand years, so he'll go crazy just like Qilby did. Considering Yugo's "The Reason You Suck" Speech, it's debatable if Qilby would've followed through with it.
• Rightful King Returns: He claims to be the rightful ruler of the Eliatropes, which helps explain why he's so depressed over their passing. He actually made this up and Yugo is the true king.
• Satanic Archetype: He's the Light Bringer archetype to Rushu's King of Hell archetype. He hails from the elite echelon of an extraterrestrial (celestial) advanced and powerful race created by a divine goddess, but Qilby is an infamous outcast from his kind after he committed evil acts which got him banished to an Ironic Hell to contain him. He's prideful and envious that he isn't the ruler of his celestial people and has a bitter rivalry with the heroic true king. He uses deceit, lies and trickery to get what he wants out of the unwitting. And once Qilby reveals his evil true colors in the present, he trades his original form for a monstrous One-Winged Angel, and some of the alterations to his appearance are permanent up until his death in Season 4. His Early-Bird Cameo in a stylistic vision from the Eliacube, implied to be the Eliacube retaining Orgonax's memory of when Qilby harvested his heart, even portrays Qilby as an outright demonic figure with red eyes and wrapped in shadow.
• Screams Like a Little Girl: When he sees Baby Grougal about to breathe fire in his face. It gets a mid-fight laughing fit out of Adamaï.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: He was locked away by his brothers in a Blank White Void many thousands of years ago, to punish his crimes and permanently end the all-remembering immortal's threat. He's unwittingly freed by Yugo and Adamaï's current reincarnations in Season 2, and once he's defeated at the season's end, Yugo sends him back to the White Dimension to remain imprisoned again. The reason for his imprisonment is partly because death is no way to neutralize him: he will always return to his Dofus to be reborn, and unlike his siblings he will always remember what happened in his past life, plus his manipulative skills make him exceptionally dangerous to any potential conscious jailers.
• Shame If Something Happened: When Baltazar is less than pleased at seeing him again in Emrub, Qilby responds with the following while smirking smugly, practically unfazed by Baltazar's draconic yelling:
  "Watch your words, old dragon, just like me you don't want us to fight here. [glances meaningfully at Baltazar's young charges] Think about the consequences for all these kids."
• Single Tear: Just before revealing his true colors to Adamai, he sheds one as he reminiscences on the Eliatrope's original homeworld and the devastated state it was left in when they made their exodus. When Adamai asks him if he misses it, he tries to laugh it off by claiming he's just curious about how a world he knew like the back of his hand ended up and how it's unlikely he'll ever find out, but considering how unprompted it was and his own surprise when Adamai notices the tear, he might not have been telling the full truth and it's implied he had something of an Ignored Epiphany.
• Sinister Scythe: He can manifest a giant Laser Blade scythe from his Eliacube arm, which he uses as a weapon in combat against his brothers.
• Slasher Smile: He's prone to grinning like a total psycho a lot after he merges with the Eliacube.
• The Sociopath: Technically averted, as unlike a true Sociopath he's genuinely capable of loving other beings (and getting fundamentally messed up by being unable to reconnect with them), but he does fit a lot of the other profiles that make up this trope.
• The Starscream: A dangerously successful example, towards Yugo, the Eliatrope King.
• Stoic Spectacles: They help give him an old yet wise figure's air. He breaks these after merging with the Eliacube and revealing his true colors.
• Straw Nihilist: Believes that his unique memory has given him insight into the unimportance of individual lives, leaving him to focus on more important matters like freely roaming and observing the universe, collateral damage be damned.
• Super-Reflexes: It's heavily implied during his battle scenes that he has this while merged with the Eliacube.
• Super-Senses: He seems to be quite aware of what's going on around him during fights when he's merged with the Eliacube.
• Super-Strength: During the final battle, he's able to grab and throw a whole asteroid at his enemies. To say nothing of how he hits Yugo so hard he crashes into another asteroid...which explodes into two halves seconds later.
• Sword Drag: A variation. He pulls off a menacing Scythe Drag at one point during his battle with Yugo over his Dofus.
• Sympathy for the Devil: Averted. Unlike with Nox, Yugo plus the rest of the Council all believe that Qilby's crimes — specifically the near-genocide of the Eliatropes — outweigh his motives, and after living through said actions' consequences and his present day crimes in their latest incarnations, all of them feel far too angry at him to be forgiving.
• Tailor-Made Prison: Deconstructed. The Blank Dimension can hold just about anyone, rather than being a "perfect prison" for him, it's instead the perfect torture for him. Qilby is someone who due to his endless memory tries desperately to stave off monotomy and seek new things. The Blank dimension is quite literally the definition of monotomy.
• Talkative Loon: Good grief, does Qilby love to monologue mid-battle.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Although he's serving on the same side as his brothers again during Season 4 thanks to their mother's return, Qilby and Yugo still can't stand each-other after everything that's happened between them, and Adamaï is wary of giving Qilby the benefit of the doubt.
• Teleport Spam: His age and possibly also his direct connection to the Eliacube makes him far more powerful and skilled with forming portals than the young Yugo, and he really milks it for all it's worth in combat against his brothers.
• There Is Another: Up till his arrival, there were no other Eliatropes besides Yugo and it was only hinted that Chibi existed by dint of Grougal returning to his Dofus and there already being a second being within it.
• Thicker Than Water: A Zig-Zagged, toxic example. After being driven to insanity and desperation by millennia of eternal reincarnation and overloaded eidetic memory, Qilby always puts his own wants before everyone else, including his family and his people. But a big part of why he sacrificed the Eliatrope homeworld and millions of his people via the Mechasm war instead of leaving the homeworld on his own, and for why he keeps screwing himself over in his further efforts to keep himself cruising the Krosmoz forever, is because he's unwilling to move on without his family by his side. In Season 4, Qilby is loyal enough to his mother after she returns from her millennia-long disappearance to put up with his brothers' antagonism and contempt, and not attempt to betray them for once. In the series finale, Qilby puts his animosity with Yugo aside in order to rescue him from the Necroworld in his final minutes — he admits even he isn't sure why he did this, but he thinks they're brothers first, adversaries second.
• Thinking Up Portals: He's even better at it than Yugo, being able to open multiple pairs of portals at once.
• Time Abyss: Technically all of Eliatrope Council has been around since the dawn of life in the universe, but when they are reborn it comes with a memory wipe. This is not the case for Qilby and his twin Shinonome, so they are the exact same individual since their conception by the goddess Eliatrope and the Great Dragon, several hundreds of thousands, maybe millions or even billions of years ago. His "current" incarnation is at least 10,000 years old.
• Together in Death: All the Eliatrope-dragon twin pairs that make up the Council of Six are quite literally together in death when their souls return to their respective Dofus to be reincarnated. But in the Season 4 finale, a dying Qilby takes solace in knowing that he and Shinonome will be together again once he returns to their Dofus, after thousands of years apart from each-other while Shinonome was dead and Qilby was trapped in the White Dimension.
• Token Evil Teammate: In Season 4, he's on the same side as the good guys with his mother, his still-living siblings, and Yugo's friends; actively helping them to protect the World of Twelve's denizens in distress, and then helping them to combat the Necromes; but he's an anti-hero who's still just as arrogant, self-centered, and unapologetic over his past atrocities as ever.
• Tragic Villain: He was born at the beginning of his existence with a unique eidetic memory which transcends his and Shinonome's reincarnation cycle — it was intended to aid Qilby and Shinonome in their role as the knowledge-keepers of Eliatrope society, but unfortunately, neither their mother nor any of their other siblings quite realized what being forced to live forever and have every second of it constantly being crammed into one brain was going to do to a person in the long run, until it was too late. It's furthermore hinted in Season 4 that if the Goddess hadn't disappeared for millennia due to being attacked by the other gods and banished to the Necroworld, then her calming influence would have probably stopped Qilby's mental problems from running out of control.
• The Unapologetic: He never apologizes for any of his crimes, which is a big part of why he's made out to be much less redeemable than Nox or Oropo. Even when he's brought low at the end of Season 2, he still says after a moment of morose reflection that his crimes were worth it.
• Unreliable Expositor: While a decent chunk of his exposition was true, there were several major lies and omissions sprinkled throughout. Such as his backstory as an Omnicidal Maniac.
• The Usurper: His lie to the Brotherhood of Tofu and the Sadida royal family that he's the Eliatrope king when it's actually one of the people listening, coupled with how he's pretty forceful about making the Eliatropes in Emrub come with him to explore the stars even when the now-aware real king is currently at the front of the group, and everyone present knows this, make him this.
• Viler New Villain: To Nox. Although both Nox and Qilby have extremely compelling and understandable reasons for being the ways they are, Qilby is notably more unrepentant and callous than Nox. Nox was able to justify his atrocities with the belief all of them would be retroactively erased from the Krosmoz if he succeeded in his goals, the death and suffering he managed to cause was limited to the World of Twelve, and he's crushed to the point he stops fighting and just waits to die once he realizes he was wrong from the start. Qilby by comparison is a lonely, angry Straw Nihilist who just doesn't care anymore about hurting others, he's managed to devastate and destroy multiple entire planets, and he outright refuses to repent for his crimes even when brought low by them.
• Villain's Dying Grace: After his body is fatally damaged from fighting Lokus and fashioning the Eliasphere, Qilby uses his remaining time and power to stage a one-man rescue of Yugo from the Necroworld. Qilby himself is unsure why he did this, but admits to Yugo that he thinks them being brothers first and adversaries second is part of the reason. As he dies, he passes the Eliasphere on to Yugo and urges him to use it to stop the Necromes from killing all life, wishing his brother good luck and parting with him on good terms.
• Villain Teleportation: With his portals.
• Villains Want Mercy: After the combined efforts of the remaining Eliatropes and Shinonome rob him of the Eliacube, Qilby is reduced to begging his sister and then Yugo for help. Neither grant it.
• Walking Spoiler: There's a lot about Qilby that isn't revealed until the final episodes.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: After The Reveal, he sheads his shirt, which also shows off his complex tattoos.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Although it's connected directly to his egocentrism and blame-shifting tendencies, Qilby calls out Yugo and his brothers that they never paid attention to his mental decline and never helped him when he needed it, which led him to hit his breaking point and commit his evil actions. In Season 4, he chides Yugo for banishing him, his own brother, to the White Dimension, and he suggests that Yugo sending him there for several thousand years ultimately just made him even crazier and more dangerous than he already was beforehand.
• Who Wants to Live Forever?: The only one of the immortal Eliatropes to remember all his past incarnations, making him feel the full effects of a life that will never end. He'll die and be reborn, but life never feels new to him. Qilby sees the individual lives of others as meaningless because they're not significantly different than those before, so he'll readily sacrifice their lives so he can wander space for new sights and lifeforms to hold his interests.
• Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: He tends towards this almost every time he has the upper hand against the heroes, including an instance of Bond Villain Stupidity.
• With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: He goes completely nuts the moment he merges with the Eliacube. Well he was nuts before, he just knew how to hide it.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Born unique amongst the Eliatropes for his eidetic memory which persists even across all his reincarnations, Qilby's mind has become completely overloaded from being forced to live and remember every single minute of every one of his lives for thousands if not billions of years, feeling the full effects of a life that will never end and seeing just how finite and fleeting all mortal life is. Lacking his mother the Eliatrope Goddess's supernatural calming influence to keep his mental problems in check likely didn't help after she was banished to the Necroworld. This, combined with feeling neglected and alienated from his and Shinonome's other siblings, who lacked the ability to retain memories across their own reincarnations and who didn't pay attention to Qilby's mental decline, turned Qilby into a Straw Nihilist and led him to take outright evil measures to escape his perpetual boredom from being confined to one planet where there was no longer anything new to distract himself. It's furthermore suggested that Qilby's millennia trapped in the White Dimension alone in perpetual sensory deprivation (which is an absolute Ironic Hell for an experience-craving being like him) after his siblings threw him in there for his pre-present crimes might have made him even crazier than he already was. In the present, Qilby is a cunning yet vicious, self-absorbed, Laughing Mad loon.
• The World Is Just Awesome: This is his perspective, but unfortunately, in his madness he takes it to a villainous extreme. His motivation for starting the Eliatrope-Mechasm war was because he'd observed everything there was to observe on the Eliatropes' original homeworld and nothing there felt new to him, and the Eliatropes' Homeworld Evacuation during the war would enable him to explore, observe and study the rest of the Krosmoz. He also proves that he only cares about the wonders of the Krosmoz that he encounters insofar that he can study them and learn new things, and he's fine with destroying an entire world to fuel the Zinit once he thinks he's seen everything worth observing.
• Would Be Rude to Say "Genocide": "Annihilate is much too harsh. The world will just be a bit... eh... ravaged?"
• Would Hurt a Child: Spends much of the season 2 finale beating up a bunch of Eliatrope children with the intent to kidnap them.
• You Can't Make an Omelette...: When showing the Zinit to Adamaï, Qilby quips that one can't make an omelette without breaking some Dofus, foreshadowing the revelation that Qilby needs and wholly intends to drain the World of Twelve of its wakfu to get the Zinit back in the air for the "good" of returning his people to their cosmic cruise.
• You're Insane!: He's frequently and accurately on the receiving end from his siblings when they criticize his radical or outright evil actions. Baltazar takes it an extra step by calling him "beyond crazy".
• You Talk Too Much!: As Adamaï and Phaeris point out, taking combative advantage of it.

Nora (Season 4 spoilers)

Another member of the Council of Six. She died long before the series began in a successful attempt to destroy the Mechanim Orgonax, but returns during Season 4.

---

• Adaptational Modesty: In her first appearance, Nora wore a rather revealing outfit. Here, she’s covered herself up.
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Early on she plays this role to both Yugo and Adamai, though she gradually mellows out.
• Canon Immigrant: Her tale was first told in the video game Islands of Wakfu, which is set long before the start of the show.
• Demonic Possession: Efrim can possess her to use his knowledge to open up the portals to the Necroworld and to talk to their mother. In the end, Nora does the opposite to force Efrim to open the gates to send every Necros back.
• Foreshadowing: She wears magenta-red clothing and her Eliatrope Portals are unusually rhomboid in shape. Turns out she and Efrim were behind the portals to the Necroworld.
• Heroic Sacrifice: After sealing in the Necroworld for good, she teleports herself and Efrim in the farthest corner of space, where they both hybernate for good, alone but together at last.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: To a horrific degree. By tracing her lost mother to the Necroworld where the Twelve Gods had dumped her, and rescuing her, Nora unwittingly gave Toross and the Necromes what they needed to escape their dead dimension and begin satiating their Horror Hunger on planets in the main dimension: her dragon brother Efrim.
• Taken for Granite: Toross captures her and turns her to stone alongside a mass of other Sadida Necros to make sure she can stay on their side as a portal-opening device. She's literally broken free by Joris.

The Goddess (Season 4 spoilers)

The Great Goddess Eliatrope

The patron goddess of the Eliatrope race, and the birth mother of the Council of Six including Yugo, Adamaï, Qilby, Nora and Efrim. She makes her appearance in Season 4 where it's revealed that she has taken over Ingloriom after seemingly destroying the World of Twelve's gods. It's also revealed that she's been absent for eons because she was banished to the Necroworld by the Twelve, until Nora and Efrim recently rescued her.

• Ambiguously Evil: While she seems well-intentioned and acts like a loving mother towards Yugo and her other children, her actions are questionable to say the least. She has seemingly slain the World of Twelve's pantheon, conquered Ingloriom, freed Qilby from the White Dimension, and essentially establishes a Big Brother-style Police State over the entire World of Twelve at the start of Season 4 without the consent of any of the planet's inhabitants.
• And I Must Scream: She spent thousands if not millions of years in the Necroworld chained up and being used as a Living Battery for the Necromes. Which, as we see when Yugo is briefly subjected to the same process, is a torturous experience for the victim.
• Big Brother Is Watching: After taking over Ingloriom, she monitors the entire World of Twelve by conjuring giant floating eyes in the sky all over the planet while her Eliatrope followers basically act as her unaccountable magic police force.
• Depending on the Artist: Eliatrope's appearance was first teased in the comics years prior her proper debut in the show; the silhouette in the comics back then was defined enough to show Eliatrope looked more humanoid, almost like a giant female version of her own children; come Season 4 of the animation, now Eliatrope looks quite different, more amorphous and ethereal as if to portray the Eliatrope goddess in a more unique light.
• Dirty Coward: Efrim accuses her of being one, as well as an hypocrite, for being too cowardly to actually help her people in time of crysis. Indeed, when she hears that the Necros are coming, she costantly screams for escaping this world and run away someplace else.
• Doppelgänger Gets Same Sentiment: Averted. When she meets Sadlygrove face-to-face in Season 4, she immediately recognizes him as the reincarnation of the same Iop god who banished her so long ago and clearly holds a massive grudge if the current destroyed state of Ingloriom is any indication. However, she acknowledges that Dally is a different person from the god he used to be and understands that he is close friends with her son Yugo, so she doesn't destroy him as she states she otherwise would have.
• Fatal Flaw: As seen later in the series, she's far too loving and kind to impose herself on others: when the queen of Bonta openly challenges her, the Goddess breaks down in tears and leaves. When she learns that the Necros are coming, she falls into a panic and plans to escape with her children, leaving the whole World of Twelve to be consumed by the undead horde.
• The Gods Must Be Lazy: Averted hard. Upon usurping the World of Twelve's deities, she wastes no time establishing what is basically a magical surveillance state over the entire planet and having her Eliatrope followers use their powers to help where it is needed most regardless of what the world's leaders say. However, her excessive goodness also makes her too shy to actually act in response to a challenge.
• Healing Hands: She can fully revive people with just a kiss, or by letting them sleep in her body.
• Living Battery: For the thousands of years that she was imprisoned in the Necroworld, Toross brutally harvested her renewable wakfu to satisfy his and his undead people's Horror Hunger.
• Parents as People: Although she dearly loves each of her children with all her heart, and is a benevolent being all-round, she doesn't know how to rein in the tensions between Yugo and Qilby as they approach boiling point, much to her distress. She wants to see the best in Qilby almost to a fault despite the atrocities he's committed during her long absence. During the Necrome invasion, Yugo being trapped and captured just as she previously was, and Nora being killed, sends her into a Heroic BSoD.
• Prehensile Hair: Her entire body is seemingly made of hair, which she employs as tentacles to interact with things and hug her children.
• So Proud of You: When Yugo won't back down from the seemingly impossible fight, the Goddess finally respects his decision and tells him how proud she is of him and his other children before leaving.
• Unreliable Expositor: Her picture-only flashback tale to Yugo has her seemingly being attacked by the other Gods out of the blue and for no good reason, making them appear as jerkasses. According to extra materials though, she actually was in the wrong for violating the divine laws and wiping out all life on the World of Twelve just to stop Orgonax, making their actions a little more understandable.
