History Characters / Blood

* GlassCannon: They can deal a lot of damage thanks to a varied arsenal, but once well-placed double barrel shot kills them instantly, and only one flare burns their hoods.

* DeadWeight: [[{{Kevlard}} More resilient]] and versatile than regular Axe Zombies, having two ranged attacks, but also a lot slower and [[KillItWithFire can be set on fire extremely easily]] with a quick spray of the AerosolFlamethrower.

* TheGrimReaper: Miniature Grim Reapers that are only vulnerable when they become corporeal. They often [[JumpScare startle players]] by ambushing them with their persistent screaming and creepy smile.

%% (ZCE) * EldritchAbomination

* NotQuiteDead: If damage past a certain threshold, but not enough for a OneHitKill, is dealt to them, they'll just be knocked to the ground for a few moments.

%% (ZCE) * PersonalSpaceInvader: Bone Leeches.

%% (ZCE) * PersonalSpaceInvader

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: He's about as ruthless and sadistic as one can get, and is only the "hero" because he's trying to avenge his fallen comrades and not trying to take over the world, and while he kills a whole lot of people over the course of both games, it just so happens that almost all of them are part of the Cabal.

* UnexplainedRecovery: It's never explained how did he come back to life at the beginning of the first game.

* UnexplainedRecovery: So, how did he come back to life at the beginning of the first game anyway? Eh, who cares, start blasting!

* PublicDomainCharacter: A "real" god from Slavic mythology, although very little is known about him other than that his name means "Black god" and there was another Slavic deity named Belobog ("White god"), although whether he was his GoodCounterpart, brother, or even if the two were different facets of the same god is unknown. His appearance as a demon like GodOfEvil is likely based on his portrayal in ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' as a big black demon.

-->''"These hardy undead menaces move more swiftly than you might expect. Take them out before they get close or you'll taste their rusty axe blades. Also, just because they're down doesn't mean they're dead-make sure they're down for the count before you move on."''

-->''"The corpses that the minions of Tchernobog use to make zombies aren't always in the best of shape. Sometimes, only a limb is salvageable. Usually, the Cabal's surgeons can fashion various bits and pieces into a serviceable undead soldier, but certain leftover parts can be effective all on their own. If one of these horrors gets hold of you, you've got to push it off before you can kill it."''

-->''"Bats have a nasty tendency of getting in your face when you're trying to get a bead on deadlier creatures. Take care of them quickly if you know what's good for you."''

-->''"While not the deadliest of creatures, these little fiends can be quite hazardous if they mob you, which is their preferred mode of attack."''

-->''"Don't be fooled-spiders are dangerous enemies. The little red ones pack a poison that will blur your vision. The larger green ones can blind you completely for a short time. The poison is cumulative, so the more they bite, the worse the side effects."''

-->''"Slower and more deliberate than their axe-wielding comrades, are much tougher to kill. You'll have to dish out a lot of abuse before they go down. Beware of the foul goo they vomit at you, for it is both corrosive and unpleasant smelling."''

-->''"Though somewhat timid, bone eels will dart at you the moment you turn your back. They make up in ferocity what they lack in fortitude."''

-->''"Your first encounter with a gargoyle will teach you to keep an eye turned skyward. They are as tough to kill as they are vicious. They hurl sharp bones at you from afar or swoop in to rake at you with their talons."''

-->''"If you have to face a gill beast in the water, you're in big trouble. While slow and ponderous above water, in their element they are vicious adversaries."''

-->''"These fire-breathing mastiffs are swift and deadly. If they get close to you, their powerful jaws will make quick work of you, so keep your distance... if you can."''

-->''"These restless phantoms harvest the souls of their victims with vicious scythes. Because they exist more in the land of the dead than the world of the living, they are only vulnerable when attacking. Watch for them to solidify before striking or your ammo and effort will be wasted."''

-->''"These many-tentacled vegtable patches have trapped many an unwary advesary. They spit a vile fluid that is sticky and very difficult to get off."''

-->''"Cheogh rules over all gargoyles, but he has long yearned to hold higher rank in Tchernobog's army. His jealousy toward the Chosen was never kept secret. Now that you have been cast from Tchernobog's graces, envy has boiled into sheer abiding hatred. He will be anxious to meet you again and express his feelings for you."''

-->''"Named for the mythical guardian of the gates of Hell, this two-headed firebreathing demon abides in a dark, sulfurous den, hidden to the world of mortals. Ferocious and nigh invulnerable, Cerberus is the deadliest adversary you will face aside from Tchernobog himself. Remember that you must destroy both heads in order to defeat him."''

-->''"His name is spoken only in whispers, for it is said that his interest is easily roused. Those who peer fully into his smoldering gaze are condemned to madness and death. You must find him before his powers become complete if you are to stand a chance. Even then, defeating him will require all your strength and ingenuity."''

-->''"These red-robed Chosen-in-training have started their transformation into what you once were.... The Chosen."''
