Characters from ''VideoGame/BoundByBlades''
----
! The Bound
!! Teo
The game's a sword-wielding feline main character who hails from the Kuza Tribe. Tends to show up in all the game's promotional materials, too.
* BadassAdorable: What else could be said for a cute, feline swordsman who's surprisingly skilled with a sword and can take down giant monsters far larger than him? And is destined to save the entire kingdom of Ashmyr?
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Forgoes shoes by default, although Teo could purchase boots later in the game. It's probably justified since he's a cat and needs to be shoeless to maintain dexterity.
* BladeSpam: He can dish out a flurry of combo slashes from up close, with his sword a blur all the way.
* TheHero: The game's main character.
* JackOfAllStats: The game's most well-balanced, easy-to-use main character.
* SwordBeam: As Teo, his most recurring ranged attack is by firing energy chevrons from the tip of his sword. Which sounds like ''shotgun blasts'', for good measure.
* SwordDrag: Teo drags his sword across the battlefield when he's running, which seems to charge his swinging slashes.
* SwordLines: Each swing from Teo results in colourful lines, where Ilcyon caught in it will suffer damage.
* SwordPlant: One of Teo's special attacks, which turns into a ShockwaveStomp from where he embedded his weapon.
----
!! Guren
A rabbit archer from the Fangorian tribe who excels in speed. The sole female playable character in the cast.
* ArcherArchetype: Her preferred weapon of choice? Her trusty bow and arrows.
* BadassAdorable: Just like Teo, since Guren is a skilled ass-kicking rabbit.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Like Teo, she forgoes footwear, which she could purchase later on. Much like Teo, it might be due to shoes getting into her way being a rabbit.
* BottomlessMagazines: Played straight with her quiver of unlimited arrows.
* ChargedAttack: Players can hold on the firing button while controlling Guren to avoid Ilcyon attacks. When released, her arrow deals greater damage than default and can peentrate foes.
* FragileSpeedster: Owing to being a ''rabbit'', Guren is faster than her comrades, but not as durable.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Guren, the sole female member of The Bound, is also their archer, though it's downplayed considering Teo and Kota can use projectile moves of their own.
* InTheHood: Her outfit includes a green hood that always covers her head. With holes for her ears to poke out.
* KillerRabbit: Guren might be a ''literal'' version of the trope, being a rabbit who slays monsters.
* {{Multishot}}: One of Guren's attacks have her firing four or more arrows at enemies in a single shot.
* RighteousRabbit: She's a bunny, and one of the heroes destined to save Ashmyr from the returning Ilcyon threat.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female playable character of the trio.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Guren being the one girl.
----
!! Kota
A muscular bovine brawler descended from the Oxbourne Tribe, that specializes in heavy weapons and close-range attacks.
* TheBigGuy: The largest of the main playable heroes.
* BoisterousBruiser: The largest of the three main characters, but cutscenes depicts him as quite chummy with his feline and lagomorph pals.
* BrutishBulls: The bovine character is the team's muscle, unsurprisingly.
* DualWield: Uses his buckler shield and circular blades simultaneously, and can use the former for a ShieldBash while using the latter for slashing.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Kota's partners uses a sword and a bow. On the other hand, he uses a tiny circular shield with three curved blades on its sides that hardly looks like anything that exists in real-life.
* LightningBruiser: Kota can dish out combo attacks like his comrades, and isn't a slouch running circles in the battlefield either.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Of the three playable heroes, Kota's main equipment is a disc blade and a shield. The latter protects him from most projectile attacks and can even accumulate energy before releasing it, AttackReflector-style.
* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: He wears boots by default, unlike his comrades Teo and Guren.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Kota's circular, three-bladed shield can be flung as a projectile, where it returns to Kota's hands moments after hitting a target.
----
!! Eldros
The once-mighty wolfman who unites the tribes of Ashmyr, and led the heroes of the kingdom in their first victory against the Ilcyon, Eldros is now an elderly trainer of heroes, who oversees combat skills of the youth in the Bound.
Three of the best trainees, Teo the cat, Guren the rabbit and Kota the bull, are on their way to graduation, but they must complete Eldros' last test.
* BigGood: The warrior who united Ashmyr and helps save the kingdom from the first Ilcyon invasion. Now he's a legendary hero who spends his days grooming younger fighters in The Bound.
* CoolTeacher: He can only be one, having retired from slaying giant monsters and ''saving the world'' in his younger days before teaching the next generation of warriors.
* EyeScream: Has a nasty-looking scar over his left eye, a holdover from fighting the Ilcyon during his youth.
* HeroicSacrifice: Overlapping with TakingYouWithMe, in the final battle, to destroy Magmyros for good and put an end to the source of the Ilcyon, Eldros allows himself to be dragged into the lava-filled caverns with the powerful monster.
* LivingLegend: Owing to uniting the tribes of Ashmyr and being the kingdom's greatest hero from decades ago, the now-elderly Eldros is looked up by the younger warriors, inclduing the three player characters.
* NobleWolf: He's a wolf in a setting filled with andromorphic animals, and the most righteous of them all.
* OldMaster: Eldros, the wolfman who once led the tribes of Ashmyr to fight the Ilcyon during the war, is now the Leader of the Bound, and tasked with training warriors - including the three player heroes. He appears in a few cutscenes to provide clues, and sometimes exposition and hints before the stage can begin in proper.
* AMoltenDateWithDeath: He's eventually killed after being dragged down the lava in Magmyros' caverns. The good news is that he destroyed the monster in the process - and ends the Ilcyon threat for good.
* PapaWolf: He sees the students and trainees in The Bound as his children, with his insistence for them not to set off on the adventure being due to his worries over their safety.
* RetiredBadass: He used to be one of Ashmyr's finest warriors, but now he's a non-combatant who oversees training on younger warriors.
* RuggedScar: Over his now-blinded ''left eye''. It serves to highlight Eldros' past as a once-fearsome warrior who had seen plenty of combat.
* YouAreNotReady: He says this almost word-for-word, in regards to why he thinks Teo, Guren and Kota isn't ready for their adventure. But after they defeat Gallows, the one Ilcyon who infiltrated The Bound and tried to ambush them, Eldros quickly changes his mind.
----
!! Finny
A talking fish living in the village's rivers. He's bestie with - ironically - Teo the cat.
* ItsAllMyFault: Finny blames himself for not being able to be with Eldros when the Ilcyon attacks the village, saying how he wanted to save his friend but couldn't leave the water. The Bound doesn't blame him at all since he's a fish, with Guren assuring Finny it's ''not his fault''.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Apparently, Finny escaped the village ambush by swimming from the village rivers into the seas, before escaping all the way to Fangsfate. Never mind the question of how freshwater fishes could actually survive ''for days'' in seawater. Although it could be justified because of the game's fantasy setting.
* ALizardNamedLiz: Finny the fish. Because ''fins'', get it?
* NoCartoonFish: Zig-zagged, Finny the fish ''is'' a cartoon fish who can communicate with the heroes, but he's the only animal who forgoes clothing and looks like a regular fish.
----
! Fangsfate City
When an unexpected Ilcyon ambush on The Bound's home village left it in ruins, with none of the citizens in sight and their mentor, Eldros, missing, The Bound managed to uncover a hidden map in Eldros' burning hut. One that leads to Fangsfate, a CitadelCity behind fortress walls, and that's the next destination of their quest.
!! General Garoth
A mighty hawkman general who commands the training academy in Fangsfate.
* BirdPeople: He's a hawkman.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He witnessed his former childhood friend, the panther warrior Vaeryth, getting corrupted by the Ilcyon and turning into a monster when he's a warrior-in-training, which leads to Garoth's dark, sullen personality and having distrust in the heroes when they first arrived in Fangsfate.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Garoth doesn't hide the fact that he's looking down towards Teo, Guren and Kota, the "kids" from Eldros' school, when they first arrived in Fangsfate city, but that's because he had seen too much bloodshed in his youth to respect the young warriors. Once they prove themselves worthy of the adventure, Garoth regards the trio warmly and wishes them well on their quest.
* OldSoldier: He fought in the wars decades ago against the Ilcyon, alongside Eldros. Like Eldros, he's now an instructor of the training school in Fangsfate.
* SoProudOfYou:
--> "Thank you, Bound. I'm sorry I ever doubted you. Not even Eldros was able to defeat Vaeryth when he first came to Fangsfate."
----
!! Timber
A cheetah-boy in Fangsfate city who looks up to the heroes.
* CheerfulChild: Always smiling when greeting the Bound, and enjoys nothing more than hearing about their Ilcyon-slaying adventures.
* {{Fanboy}}: To the Bound. He wishes to join them in the future.
--> '''Teo''': Timber, why do you want to join the Bound so much?\\
'''Timber''': Because the Bound are ''so cool''! Everyone says they're gonna save Ashmyr from the Ilcyon, and I wanna be the one to do it!
----
!! The Ilcyon
A race of ancient monsters who assumes many forms, the Ilcyons nearly destroyed Ashmyr in the past and forced the kingdom's warring tribes to put their differences aside. Defeated and forced into a retreat, they attempt a comeback after decades of peace and harmony, but luckily the heroes of the Bound are ready to take them down.
----
!! Gallows
The first boss and first ''actual'' Ilcyon faced by The Bound, Gallows is a Jack-O-Lantern headed shapeshifting monster who hid itself in one of the academy's training dummies, revealing itself during a training scene to ambush the heroes.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When the scarecrow is a mere dummy, it's entirely expressionless. Once Gallows took over, it's head sports a sinister expression with menacing glowing eyes.
* HandBlast: Gallows can fire weak, slow-moving, green blasts from it's hands, while one of its slightly better attacks have it pushing both hands downwards resulting in green projectiles firing in an arc. They tend to backfire because those blasts ''can'' be deflected back to Gallows.
* HeWasRightThereAllAlong: For the first minute of his boss fight, The Bound assumes they're fighting another harmless straw mannequin, until halfway through the training, said mannequin suddenly turns it's head into a sinister Jack-O-Lantern. Cue Gallows' intro.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: If Gallows didn't infiltrate Eldros' academy, none of the heroes wouldn've graduated, and their quest to stop the Ilcyon wouldn't have happened. Nice Job indeed.
* ScaryScarecrows: It's based on one, and infiltrates an otherwise normal-looking scarecrow dummy who immediately turns sinister when Gallows ditches it's disguise.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: The easily-defeated first boss, whose defeat convinces Eldros that the heroes are ready for an adventure, hence allowing the game's events to unfold.
* StationaryBoss: Owing to possessing a scarecrow, Gallows spends it's entire boss battle fixed to the screen's centerpoint.
* StingyJack: While it's body design is based on scarecrow, Gallows' face is a Jack-O-Lantern.
* WarmUpBoss: Discounting the stage 1 training scarecrow (a ZeroEffortBoss, justified because it was only a training), Gallows is the first ''actual'' Ilcyon fought by the Bound, with slow, deflectable projectiles, predictable attack patterns, and can't even move around. The only devastating move Gallows has is the 360° laser move forcing them to run in circles, but that one lasts for barely ten seconds and isn't that hard to avoid either.
----
!! Skullako
After completing their training, The Bound are sent on their first quest - to hunt down Skullako, an Ilcyon monster inhabiting a cavern. It was her the heroes gets a glimpse of how Ilcyons ''really'' looks like.
* AsteroidsMonster: Skullako can split itself into two, and then four, as it gradually takes damage. All it's copies have identical attacks.
* BadWithTheBone: Skullako can shoot it's bone-like arms as projectiles. [[DismembermentIsCheap Which it regrows instantly]]. The mini-Skullakos have this ability as well.
* BlobMonster: It's main body is a massive pile of gel that it can expand to cover corners of the screen.
* BubbleGun: Another attack it occasionally uses, a bubble projectile that actually stays on the screen, bouncing off walls and damaging you on contact.
* {{Cyclops}}: It's sole discernible facial feature is a single eye. Which is still [[EyesAreUnbreakable flesh]], despite the rest of it's head being a skull.
* SkullForAHead: True to it's name, Skullako is has a=a {{cyclop|s}}ean skull in place of it's head. Even the [[AsteroidsMonster mini-Skullakos]] it spawns after it's health depleted have similar skulls!
* StationaryBoss: Like Gallows, Skullako is immobile as well, instead relying on sending a pillar of acidic jelly throwing it's bone-like arms. The only time Skullako moves is when it splits into smaller copies of itself.
* WingdingEyes: Hitting Skullako enough will momentarily turn it's eye into a comical "X" symbol.
----
!! Mittux
An Ilcyon resembling a gigantic fanged mouth with bat-like wings, surrounded by floating eyeballs.
* BadBoss: Should Mittux's health becomes too low, and there happens to be some of those eyeball-creatures Mittux summoned hovering around, Mittux ''will'' snatch them out the air and swallow them to boost it's own health.
* BreathWeapon: Mittux can breath a thick energy beam from it's mouth as a ranged attack.
* EyeBeams: Mittux's floating eyeball minions can shoot lasers from the pupils. Things tends to get rather tricky if more than one of these monsters are onscreen and begins using the same attacks together.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Mittux appears to be eyeless at first glance, until it lashes out using it's tongue. Turns out the Ilcyon's sole eye is on said tongue.
* EyelessFace: Mittux's face is just a gigantic mouth with wings, but that's because it's eyes are located elsewhere; see previous line.
* FlunkyBoss: The {{Oculothorax}}-things Mittux consisstently summons to hinder you during it's boss fight.
* NoOntologicalInertia: The moment Mittux gets defeated, all of it's flunkies dissappears instantly.
* OverlyLongTongue: Mittux's tongue can reach the corners of the boss arena, which it will repeatedly use to slap the players.
* SuperSpit: Another ranged attack, Mittux can fire a gob of spit that covers a wide arc.
----
!! Talys
A gigantic skeletal serpentine monster terrorizing the walls of Fangsfate City, Talys is the first Ilcyon fought by The Bound far away from their village. Defeating Talys earns The Bound General Garoth's respect.
* AttackOfTheMonsterAppendage: Besides spamming her fiery breath, Talys can also extend her tails (both of them!) to lash out and attack from anywhere she wants. Her tails can unleash fireballs as well.
* BreathWeapon: Blue flames, which can cover quite a massive area.
* SnakesAreSinister: A serpentine Ilcyon who gleefully terrorizes the citizens of Fangsfate.
* StationaryBoss: When fought, she's confined to a hole on the ground, but she's way stronger than previous examples (Gallows, Skullako) because of her fire covering far more area.
* TechnicolorFire: Talys' main attacks have her breathing blue flames all over the area.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Her hitbox is far smaller than the previous three bosses, being vulnerable only in her head, and her attacks covers far more range, deals greater damage and ''can't'' be deflected. The past three bosses are merely a series of warmups before Talys' arrival signaling that things are ''getting serious''.
----
!! Mawrakor
An earth-based Ilcyon resembling a boulder on legs, with a whip-like tail and the ability to cause earthquakes.
* DishingOutDirt: Mawrakor can send a circle of rock spikes targeting the heroes as an attack.
* FlechetteStorm: One of Mawrakor's attacks have it summoning a wave of green, pointed projectiles from outside the screen, which flies directly at the heroes.
* ProjectileWebbing: From the tail, Mawrakor can launch a sticky web that restrains the players momentarily when hit.
* WaddlingHead: It resembles an oversized head on two legs.
----
!! Vaeryth
A fierce, feline-esque monstrous Ilcyon who used to have a past with General Garoth, the leader of Fangsfate's armed forces.
* CycleOfHurting: Try not to step in any of Vaeryth's summoned, life-draining vortexes. It'll repeatedly hammer your health down as you try breaking free, and you can ''hear'' your character howling in pain!
* TheDreaded: To the citizens of Fangsfate, due to being one of their finest warriors in the past before he was corrupted by the Ilcyon. According to General Gatoth, even Eldros ''lose to him'' in a battle once!
* EvilLivingFlames: Vaeryth can conjure evil [[TechnicolorFire purple]] flames with faces as another attack.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes emits a menacing glow for the entirety of his battle.
* HomingProjectile: Can release a set of circular blades that chases the player around the arena.
* MegaNeko: He resembles a monstrous-looking feline, who can stomp Teo the ''actual'' feline character underfoot.
* MultipleTailedBeast: Has two tails, and Vaeryth will use ''both'' tails to perform a TailSlap capable of covering the whole screen.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Vaeryth is introduced entering the arena by a portal in the sky. While it doesn't use the portal at any point during it's boss fight, once defeated, it leaves the same way -dissappearing through the same portal.
* WasOnceAMan: Vaeryth used to be a panther warrior from in the past who fell under Ilcyon control, becoming one of the most powerful Ilcyon spawns. The commander of Fangsfate, General Garoth, blames himself over this.
----
!! Necromata
When the collected evil aura from numerous Ilcyon inhabits a suit of armor once owned by a righteous, slain warrior, it immediately sheds it's owner, coming to life and forming a dreadful monster called Necromata.
* AnimatedArmor: A living suit of armor animated by Ilcyon curse.
* DetachmentCombat: Since it's, well, ''living cursed armor'', one of Necromata's recurring attacks have it detaching it's head, which then becomes alight and [[LosingYourHead chases after the player]].
* DualWielding: Uses a pair of twin ''sai'' in combat.
* PlayingWithFire: It can spam fireballs repeatedly as an attack.
* PowerGivesYouWings: Not only does the Ilcyon-controlled cursed armor comes to life, but it somehow grows ''wings'' as a result.
----
!! Lithos
Once a powerful mage, corrupted by Ilcyon curse Lithos is now a shadowy demon-like figure and one of the many Ilcyon monsters.
* DeathFromAbove: Lithos will repeatedly summon thunderbolts, flaming meteorites, and assorted hazards raining into the area as an attack.
* HookHand: Lithos' right hand is, oddly enough, a hook. From which a magic lantern hangs.
* WasOnceAMan: Like Vaeryth before it, Lithos used to be a regular mage (of an unspecified animal species) prior to being corrupted.
* TheFaceless: Hides his face entirely InTheHood. Nobody can tell what animal Lithos ''used'' to be as a result.
* PowerFloats: Lithos never touches the ground during it's entire boss battle. Unlike Necromata before him, he ''doesn't'' have wings.
* SpellBook: There's a magic book hovering beside Lithos during the boss battle, from which he use to cast his various spells.
----
!! Orikara
Two lovers from feuding clans fled their homes in the past, back when Ashmyr was still plagued by wars. Unwilling to be separated from each other, they made a pact with the Ilcyon so they would stay togehter - as two elemental based monsters collectively called the Orikara.
* DualBoss: A pair of nature elemental who fights together.
* FireIsMasculine: The man among the lovers forms Orikara's fiery half.
* MakingASplash: The female half of Orikara favors water-based attacks.
* PlayingWithFire: The male half of Orikara tends to use fire-based attacks.
* StarCrossedLovers: Their backstory. When the lovers' respective clans tries forcing them apart, they escapes and seeks help from the Ilcyon, who grants their wish by turning them into two monsters manifesting together.
* WasOnceAMan: Among the many individuals who sold their souls to the Ilcyon, though this one revolves around a pair of lovers transformed together.
* WaterIsWomanly: The woman among the lovers forms Orikara's water-based half.
----
!! Magmyros
The carcinogen of the curse. The scourge of the spire. The source of the Ilcyon.
* AttackOfTheMonsterAppendage: Type 2 example, you'll need to fight Magmyros' hand and tail in separate battles before fighting it's head.
* BigBad: Owing to it's status as the root of the Ilcyon curse, and it being the source of monsters plaguing Ashmyr for decades, Magmyros is the game's main villain and final Ilcyon. Kill him and the game ends on a happy note.
* DragonsAreDemonic: He's the only dragon-based boss, and is the most powerful enemy ever faced by the Bound, besides being the source of the Ilcyon's energy.
* FinalBoss: The last Ilcyon threat The Bound faces. Destroy Magmyros and the good ending plays.
* AMoltenDateWithDeath: Ironically, despite being a fire-breathing dragon, Magmyros' was eventually killed by the lava in it's cavern, with Eldros dragging him down.
* PlayingWithFire: It's a ''dragon'', and a pretty fiery one at that. Besides breathing flames, Magmyros can also create a circle of flames by smacking his hand on the ground.
* SequentialBoss: Firstly, the volcanic "core" that forms Magmyros' heart. Then, it's tail and claws, each with their own health bars. Finally, the head who has more health than either the previous two forms. The ensuing battle is as lengthy as you'd expect a FinalBoss to last.
* StationaryBoss: Magmyros' first form, as a lava-spewing stone structure in the middle of it's lair.
* TailSlap: Be wary whenever Magmyros sticks it's tail into the arena.
----
----
! The Bound
!! Teo
The game's a sword-wielding feline main character who hails from the Kuza Tribe. Tends to show up in all the game's promotional materials, too.
* BadassAdorable: What else could be said for a cute, feline swordsman who's surprisingly skilled with a sword and can take down giant monsters far larger than him? And is destined to save the entire kingdom of Ashmyr?
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Forgoes shoes by default, although Teo could purchase boots later in the game. It's probably justified since he's a cat and needs to be shoeless to maintain dexterity.
* BladeSpam: He can dish out a flurry of combo slashes from up close, with his sword a blur all the way.
* TheHero: The game's main character.
* JackOfAllStats: The game's most well-balanced, easy-to-use main character.
* SwordBeam: As Teo, his most recurring ranged attack is by firing energy chevrons from the tip of his sword. Which sounds like ''shotgun blasts'', for good measure.
* SwordDrag: Teo drags his sword across the battlefield when he's running, which seems to charge his swinging slashes.
* SwordLines: Each swing from Teo results in colourful lines, where Ilcyon caught in it will suffer damage.
* SwordPlant: One of Teo's special attacks, which turns into a ShockwaveStomp from where he embedded his weapon.
----
!! Guren
A rabbit archer from the Fangorian tribe who excels in speed. The sole female playable character in the cast.
* ArcherArchetype: Her preferred weapon of choice? Her trusty bow and arrows.
* BadassAdorable: Just like Teo, since Guren is a skilled ass-kicking rabbit.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Like Teo, she forgoes footwear, which she could purchase later on. Much like Teo, it might be due to shoes getting into her way being a rabbit.
* BottomlessMagazines: Played straight with her quiver of unlimited arrows.
* ChargedAttack: Players can hold on the firing button while controlling Guren to avoid Ilcyon attacks. When released, her arrow deals greater damage than default and can peentrate foes.
* FragileSpeedster: Owing to being a ''rabbit'', Guren is faster than her comrades, but not as durable.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Guren, the sole female member of The Bound, is also their archer, though it's downplayed considering Teo and Kota can use projectile moves of their own.
* InTheHood: Her outfit includes a green hood that always covers her head. With holes for her ears to poke out.
* KillerRabbit: Guren might be a ''literal'' version of the trope, being a rabbit who slays monsters.
* {{Multishot}}: One of Guren's attacks have her firing four or more arrows at enemies in a single shot.
* RighteousRabbit: She's a bunny, and one of the heroes destined to save Ashmyr from the returning Ilcyon threat.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female playable character of the trio.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Guren being the one girl.
----
!! Kota
A muscular bovine brawler descended from the Oxbourne Tribe, that specializes in heavy weapons and close-range attacks.
* TheBigGuy: The largest of the main playable heroes.
* BoisterousBruiser: The largest of the three main characters, but cutscenes depicts him as quite chummy with his feline and lagomorph pals.
* BrutishBulls: The bovine character is the team's muscle, unsurprisingly.
* DualWield: Uses his buckler shield and circular blades simultaneously, and can use the former for a ShieldBash while using the latter for slashing.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Kota's partners uses a sword and a bow. On the other hand, he uses a tiny circular shield with three curved blades on its sides that hardly looks like anything that exists in real-life.
* LightningBruiser: Kota can dish out combo attacks like his comrades, and isn't a slouch running circles in the battlefield either.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Of the three playable heroes, Kota's main equipment is a disc blade and a shield. The latter protects him from most projectile attacks and can even accumulate energy before releasing it, AttackReflector-style.
* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: He wears boots by default, unlike his comrades Teo and Guren.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Kota's circular, three-bladed shield can be flung as a projectile, where it returns to Kota's hands moments after hitting a target.
----
!! Eldros
The once-mighty wolfman who unites the tribes of Ashmyr, and led the heroes of the kingdom in their first victory against the Ilcyon, Eldros is now an elderly trainer of heroes, who oversees combat skills of the youth in the Bound.
Three of the best trainees, Teo the cat, Guren the rabbit and Kota the bull, are on their way to graduation, but they must complete Eldros' last test.
* BigGood: The warrior who united Ashmyr and helps save the kingdom from the first Ilcyon invasion. Now he's a legendary hero who spends his days grooming younger fighters in The Bound.
* CoolTeacher: He can only be one, having retired from slaying giant monsters and ''saving the world'' in his younger days before teaching the next generation of warriors.
* EyeScream: Has a nasty-looking scar over his left eye, a holdover from fighting the Ilcyon during his youth.
* HeroicSacrifice: Overlapping with TakingYouWithMe, in the final battle, to destroy Magmyros for good and put an end to the source of the Ilcyon, Eldros allows himself to be dragged into the lava-filled caverns with the powerful monster.
* LivingLegend: Owing to uniting the tribes of Ashmyr and being the kingdom's greatest hero from decades ago, the now-elderly Eldros is looked up by the younger warriors, inclduing the three player characters.
* NobleWolf: He's a wolf in a setting filled with andromorphic animals, and the most righteous of them all.
* OldMaster: Eldros, the wolfman who once led the tribes of Ashmyr to fight the Ilcyon during the war, is now the Leader of the Bound, and tasked with training warriors - including the three player heroes. He appears in a few cutscenes to provide clues, and sometimes exposition and hints before the stage can begin in proper.
* AMoltenDateWithDeath: He's eventually killed after being dragged down the lava in Magmyros' caverns. The good news is that he destroyed the monster in the process - and ends the Ilcyon threat for good.
* PapaWolf: He sees the students and trainees in The Bound as his children, with his insistence for them not to set off on the adventure being due to his worries over their safety.
* RetiredBadass: He used to be one of Ashmyr's finest warriors, but now he's a non-combatant who oversees training on younger warriors.
* RuggedScar: Over his now-blinded ''left eye''. It serves to highlight Eldros' past as a once-fearsome warrior who had seen plenty of combat.
* YouAreNotReady: He says this almost word-for-word, in regards to why he thinks Teo, Guren and Kota isn't ready for their adventure. But after they defeat Gallows, the one Ilcyon who infiltrated The Bound and tried to ambush them, Eldros quickly changes his mind.
----
!! Finny
A talking fish living in the village's rivers. He's bestie with - ironically - Teo the cat.
* ItsAllMyFault: Finny blames himself for not being able to be with Eldros when the Ilcyon attacks the village, saying how he wanted to save his friend but couldn't leave the water. The Bound doesn't blame him at all since he's a fish, with Guren assuring Finny it's ''not his fault''.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Apparently, Finny escaped the village ambush by swimming from the village rivers into the seas, before escaping all the way to Fangsfate. Never mind the question of how freshwater fishes could actually survive ''for days'' in seawater. Although it could be justified because of the game's fantasy setting.
* ALizardNamedLiz: Finny the fish. Because ''fins'', get it?
* NoCartoonFish: Zig-zagged, Finny the fish ''is'' a cartoon fish who can communicate with the heroes, but he's the only animal who forgoes clothing and looks like a regular fish.
----
! Fangsfate City
When an unexpected Ilcyon ambush on The Bound's home village left it in ruins, with none of the citizens in sight and their mentor, Eldros, missing, The Bound managed to uncover a hidden map in Eldros' burning hut. One that leads to Fangsfate, a CitadelCity behind fortress walls, and that's the next destination of their quest.
!! General Garoth
A mighty hawkman general who commands the training academy in Fangsfate.
* BirdPeople: He's a hawkman.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He witnessed his former childhood friend, the panther warrior Vaeryth, getting corrupted by the Ilcyon and turning into a monster when he's a warrior-in-training, which leads to Garoth's dark, sullen personality and having distrust in the heroes when they first arrived in Fangsfate.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Garoth doesn't hide the fact that he's looking down towards Teo, Guren and Kota, the "kids" from Eldros' school, when they first arrived in Fangsfate city, but that's because he had seen too much bloodshed in his youth to respect the young warriors. Once they prove themselves worthy of the adventure, Garoth regards the trio warmly and wishes them well on their quest.
* OldSoldier: He fought in the wars decades ago against the Ilcyon, alongside Eldros. Like Eldros, he's now an instructor of the training school in Fangsfate.
* SoProudOfYou:
--> "Thank you, Bound. I'm sorry I ever doubted you. Not even Eldros was able to defeat Vaeryth when he first came to Fangsfate."
----
!! Timber
A cheetah-boy in Fangsfate city who looks up to the heroes.
* CheerfulChild: Always smiling when greeting the Bound, and enjoys nothing more than hearing about their Ilcyon-slaying adventures.
* {{Fanboy}}: To the Bound. He wishes to join them in the future.
--> '''Teo''': Timber, why do you want to join the Bound so much?\\
'''Timber''': Because the Bound are ''so cool''! Everyone says they're gonna save Ashmyr from the Ilcyon, and I wanna be the one to do it!
----
!! The Ilcyon
A race of ancient monsters who assumes many forms, the Ilcyons nearly destroyed Ashmyr in the past and forced the kingdom's warring tribes to put their differences aside. Defeated and forced into a retreat, they attempt a comeback after decades of peace and harmony, but luckily the heroes of the Bound are ready to take them down.
----
!! Gallows
The first boss and first ''actual'' Ilcyon faced by The Bound, Gallows is a Jack-O-Lantern headed shapeshifting monster who hid itself in one of the academy's training dummies, revealing itself during a training scene to ambush the heroes.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When the scarecrow is a mere dummy, it's entirely expressionless. Once Gallows took over, it's head sports a sinister expression with menacing glowing eyes.
* HandBlast: Gallows can fire weak, slow-moving, green blasts from it's hands, while one of its slightly better attacks have it pushing both hands downwards resulting in green projectiles firing in an arc. They tend to backfire because those blasts ''can'' be deflected back to Gallows.
* HeWasRightThereAllAlong: For the first minute of his boss fight, The Bound assumes they're fighting another harmless straw mannequin, until halfway through the training, said mannequin suddenly turns it's head into a sinister Jack-O-Lantern. Cue Gallows' intro.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: If Gallows didn't infiltrate Eldros' academy, none of the heroes wouldn've graduated, and their quest to stop the Ilcyon wouldn't have happened. Nice Job indeed.
* ScaryScarecrows: It's based on one, and infiltrates an otherwise normal-looking scarecrow dummy who immediately turns sinister when Gallows ditches it's disguise.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: The easily-defeated first boss, whose defeat convinces Eldros that the heroes are ready for an adventure, hence allowing the game's events to unfold.
* StationaryBoss: Owing to possessing a scarecrow, Gallows spends it's entire boss battle fixed to the screen's centerpoint.
* StingyJack: While it's body design is based on scarecrow, Gallows' face is a Jack-O-Lantern.
* WarmUpBoss: Discounting the stage 1 training scarecrow (a ZeroEffortBoss, justified because it was only a training), Gallows is the first ''actual'' Ilcyon fought by the Bound, with slow, deflectable projectiles, predictable attack patterns, and can't even move around. The only devastating move Gallows has is the 360° laser move forcing them to run in circles, but that one lasts for barely ten seconds and isn't that hard to avoid either.
----
!! Skullako
After completing their training, The Bound are sent on their first quest - to hunt down Skullako, an Ilcyon monster inhabiting a cavern. It was her the heroes gets a glimpse of how Ilcyons ''really'' looks like.
* AsteroidsMonster: Skullako can split itself into two, and then four, as it gradually takes damage. All it's copies have identical attacks.
* BadWithTheBone: Skullako can shoot it's bone-like arms as projectiles. [[DismembermentIsCheap Which it regrows instantly]]. The mini-Skullakos have this ability as well.
* BlobMonster: It's main body is a massive pile of gel that it can expand to cover corners of the screen.
* BubbleGun: Another attack it occasionally uses, a bubble projectile that actually stays on the screen, bouncing off walls and damaging you on contact.
* {{Cyclops}}: It's sole discernible facial feature is a single eye. Which is still [[EyesAreUnbreakable flesh]], despite the rest of it's head being a skull.
* SkullForAHead: True to it's name, Skullako is has a=a {{cyclop|s}}ean skull in place of it's head. Even the [[AsteroidsMonster mini-Skullakos]] it spawns after it's health depleted have similar skulls!
* StationaryBoss: Like Gallows, Skullako is immobile as well, instead relying on sending a pillar of acidic jelly throwing it's bone-like arms. The only time Skullako moves is when it splits into smaller copies of itself.
* WingdingEyes: Hitting Skullako enough will momentarily turn it's eye into a comical "X" symbol.
----
!! Mittux
An Ilcyon resembling a gigantic fanged mouth with bat-like wings, surrounded by floating eyeballs.
* BadBoss: Should Mittux's health becomes too low, and there happens to be some of those eyeball-creatures Mittux summoned hovering around, Mittux ''will'' snatch them out the air and swallow them to boost it's own health.
* BreathWeapon: Mittux can breath a thick energy beam from it's mouth as a ranged attack.
* EyeBeams: Mittux's floating eyeball minions can shoot lasers from the pupils. Things tends to get rather tricky if more than one of these monsters are onscreen and begins using the same attacks together.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Mittux appears to be eyeless at first glance, until it lashes out using it's tongue. Turns out the Ilcyon's sole eye is on said tongue.
* EyelessFace: Mittux's face is just a gigantic mouth with wings, but that's because it's eyes are located elsewhere; see previous line.
* FlunkyBoss: The {{Oculothorax}}-things Mittux consisstently summons to hinder you during it's boss fight.
* NoOntologicalInertia: The moment Mittux gets defeated, all of it's flunkies dissappears instantly.
* OverlyLongTongue: Mittux's tongue can reach the corners of the boss arena, which it will repeatedly use to slap the players.
* SuperSpit: Another ranged attack, Mittux can fire a gob of spit that covers a wide arc.
----
!! Talys
A gigantic skeletal serpentine monster terrorizing the walls of Fangsfate City, Talys is the first Ilcyon fought by The Bound far away from their village. Defeating Talys earns The Bound General Garoth's respect.
* AttackOfTheMonsterAppendage: Besides spamming her fiery breath, Talys can also extend her tails (both of them!) to lash out and attack from anywhere she wants. Her tails can unleash fireballs as well.
* BreathWeapon: Blue flames, which can cover quite a massive area.
* SnakesAreSinister: A serpentine Ilcyon who gleefully terrorizes the citizens of Fangsfate.
* StationaryBoss: When fought, she's confined to a hole on the ground, but she's way stronger than previous examples (Gallows, Skullako) because of her fire covering far more area.
* TechnicolorFire: Talys' main attacks have her breathing blue flames all over the area.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Her hitbox is far smaller than the previous three bosses, being vulnerable only in her head, and her attacks covers far more range, deals greater damage and ''can't'' be deflected. The past three bosses are merely a series of warmups before Talys' arrival signaling that things are ''getting serious''.
----
!! Mawrakor
An earth-based Ilcyon resembling a boulder on legs, with a whip-like tail and the ability to cause earthquakes.
* DishingOutDirt: Mawrakor can send a circle of rock spikes targeting the heroes as an attack.
* FlechetteStorm: One of Mawrakor's attacks have it summoning a wave of green, pointed projectiles from outside the screen, which flies directly at the heroes.
* ProjectileWebbing: From the tail, Mawrakor can launch a sticky web that restrains the players momentarily when hit.
* WaddlingHead: It resembles an oversized head on two legs.
----
!! Vaeryth
A fierce, feline-esque monstrous Ilcyon who used to have a past with General Garoth, the leader of Fangsfate's armed forces.
* CycleOfHurting: Try not to step in any of Vaeryth's summoned, life-draining vortexes. It'll repeatedly hammer your health down as you try breaking free, and you can ''hear'' your character howling in pain!
* TheDreaded: To the citizens of Fangsfate, due to being one of their finest warriors in the past before he was corrupted by the Ilcyon. According to General Gatoth, even Eldros ''lose to him'' in a battle once!
* EvilLivingFlames: Vaeryth can conjure evil [[TechnicolorFire purple]] flames with faces as another attack.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes emits a menacing glow for the entirety of his battle.
* HomingProjectile: Can release a set of circular blades that chases the player around the arena.
* MegaNeko: He resembles a monstrous-looking feline, who can stomp Teo the ''actual'' feline character underfoot.
* MultipleTailedBeast: Has two tails, and Vaeryth will use ''both'' tails to perform a TailSlap capable of covering the whole screen.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Vaeryth is introduced entering the arena by a portal in the sky. While it doesn't use the portal at any point during it's boss fight, once defeated, it leaves the same way -dissappearing through the same portal.
* WasOnceAMan: Vaeryth used to be a panther warrior from in the past who fell under Ilcyon control, becoming one of the most powerful Ilcyon spawns. The commander of Fangsfate, General Garoth, blames himself over this.
----
!! Necromata
When the collected evil aura from numerous Ilcyon inhabits a suit of armor once owned by a righteous, slain warrior, it immediately sheds it's owner, coming to life and forming a dreadful monster called Necromata.
* AnimatedArmor: A living suit of armor animated by Ilcyon curse.
* DetachmentCombat: Since it's, well, ''living cursed armor'', one of Necromata's recurring attacks have it detaching it's head, which then becomes alight and [[LosingYourHead chases after the player]].

* PowerFloats: Lithos never touches the ground during it's entire boss battle. Unlike Necromata before him, he ''doesn't'' have wings.
* SpellBook: There's a magic book hovering beside Lithos during the boss battle, from which he use to cast his various spells.
----
!! Orikara
Two lovers from feuding clans fled their homes in the past, back when Ashmyr was still plagued by wars. Unwilling to be separated from each other, they made a pact with the Ilcyon so they would stay togehter - as two elemental based monsters collectively called the Orikara.

The carcinogen of the curse. The scourge of the spire. The source of the Ilcyon.
* AttackOfTheMonsterAppendage: Type 2 example, you'll need to fight Magmyros' hand and tail in separate battles before fighting it's head.
