History Characters / DarkestDungeonDLCMonsters

* PracticalTaunt: The move called Enraging Slight has the Manservant [[http://i.imgur.com/myMeVJQ.jpg sass a hero in the party]], with a chance to mark them, move them forward, and stun them all at once.

* DamselInDistress: The name of the move that [[DirtyCoward forces one of their allies to take any hits meant for them.]]

* WasOnceAMan: Since the Comet's influence transforms things into crystalline monsters, you wouldn't be blamed for mistaking them as animated statues. They aren't - they're what's left of the Miller's workforce.
* ZergRush: The Farmstead will be the ground for a new type of mission described as "wave-based survival", which has your party fight through a literally unending horde of monsters. The stated goal of the mission is to kill the most enemies before your party cannot fight anymore.

* BreathWeapon: The move named Winters Breath has Miller target one of his own Farmhands, breath his crystallizing breath on them, and turn them into a support unit.

* NoSell: One of his combos is to set up a "Frozen Farmhand" enemy, which guards him, shoots Horror debuffs, and prevents the party from guarding.
* SinisterScythe: One that's fractured and floating in one place. [[ThatOneAttack You will learn to hate it.]]

%%* AlienInvasion: Albeit for a bizarre definition of "alien".

* CounterAttack: Attacking a Spiked Barricade will cause it to apply 1 Bleed to whomever hit it.

* LargeAndInCharge: The Warlord stands twice as tall as his subordinates, and is capable of giving them commands and buffs in battle.

* EvilCounterpart: To the Crusader, but to a less extent to all the other heroes too: his moves resemble [[MirrorBoss stronger versions of attacks used by your characters]]. Cohortor and Secare work similiarly to Man-At-Arms' Command and Hold the Line, while Praecido and Paro are versions of the Highwayman's Open Vein and Double Cross that hit multiple people.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The Ancestor's lines imply that the Fanatic flees from battle rather than being killed, explaining how he can appear multiple times after being defeated.
--> '''Ancestor:''' ''(Upon the Fanatic's defeat)'' The whimpering dog flees back to his kennel!

* BossWarningSiren: A visual variation -- If you embark on a quest and your loading screen's not the usual picture of a gate to the dungeon, but his leering face instead, then he ''will'' find you in that dungeon.

* DropTheHammer: His sprite presents him with a hammer, which he uses to drive holy stakes into your heroes' flesh. He can also use it to inflict a Stun, 15 stress, and a two-space knockback.

The cosmic phenomenon that jumpstarted the entire Farmstead incident, the comet containing the Sleeper was coaxed by the Ancestor's calculations and preparations into crashing down upon the Miller's meager lands, where it now slumbers and silently gestates while refracting everything nearby into an EldritchLocation.

* TheRemnant: The Academic describes them as this. Their invasion of the countryside was abrubtly cut short by the Spreading Stain, and they're now haphazardly strewn across the highways and backroads of the world trying to eke out an existence for themselves through the robbery of passing caravans while slowly regrouping once again under the banner of the Warlord.

* TheHighwayman: They can be found in unique Road Battle blockades like Pillagers, and drop several combat items on their defeat.

--> --The Academic

[[folder:Spearmen and Swordsmen]]

An army of mercenaries under the command of the Warlord. Like the Pillagers, they are taking advantage of the chaos engulfing the world in order to loot and plunder, but will only attack the party if the Crusader's Helmet is mounted to the wagon. After the first step of the Lost Crusade is completed, they become recurring potential Road Battle encounters, easily differentiated from other factions by the giant bulwarks they put up in the middle of the road.

* NamedWeapon: His huge poleaxe is named Securis, which [[ADogNamedDog simply means "ax" in Latin]]. [[NonIndicativeName Even though the blade more resembles a cleaver or bardiche-type weapon]].

* PuzzleBoss: Like The Hag, a party fighting The Fanatic must be prepared for dealing with both him and his pyre. ''Unlike'' The Hag, The Fanatic is perfectly capable of killing you himself. A small saving grace exists that he does move around a bit, making it easier to hit him.

The cosmic phenomenon that jumpstarted this entire incident.

* AlienInvasion: Albeit for a bizarre definition of "alien".

* {{Expy}}: It's the titular "Colour"[=/=]unidentified organism from ''Literature/TheColourOutOfSpace''', but instead of distorting and eventually sucking the life out of all organic material around it it instead covers the nearby landscape in crystalline growths and [[RealityIsOutToLunch refracts reality itself into countless facets]].

* {{Expy}}: It's Literature/TheColourOutOfSpace, with the otherworldly Cyan glow which sucks the life out of anything exposed to it and creates grey husks out of the inhabitants of a poor farmstead.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To [[TheGrimReaper Death]]. They're both bosses driven entirely by their [[ItsPersonal singleminded pursuit of another specific hero]], but while Death is a supernatural entity [[EnemiesWithDeath relentlessly pursuing the death-defying Flagellant]] and won't even bother you if you don't have him in your party, the Warlord is an all-too-mundane threat who is more than willing to kill anyone who crosses his path even if they're not the Crusader.

* BigBad: Of the Crimson Court DLC. She was the first person with the Crimson Curse, which spread with the Ancestor's intervention. Now, it appears she is the matriarch of the hive that is the Courtyard.

* BigBad: Of the "Colour of Madness" DLC. It's responsible for the Farmstead and its residents' miserable state, and is the FinalBoss of the DLC as a whole.
