* StopHelpingMe : Sometimes. Nothing too egregious though.



Weaker than the skeleton in fighting ability, the main use of the ghost is in research. Given the chance, these creatures will tend to concregate in your temple and will need manual duty allocation. Ghosts can fly, see invisible creatures, and are immune to poison gas.

* BigEater: If a Keeper is planning to have any number of Bile Demons, they better have a '''large''' Hatchery. Most minions will eat 2-3 chickens for a meal. Bile Demons eat 6 at a time, and they're hungry often.



* ArchEnemy: Skeletons. The rivalry can be dangerous if it's an experienced Bile Demon and Skeleton; a Bile Demon is more valuable than a Skeleton, but a trained Skeleton gets [ShockandAwe Lighting Spell]] that can kill the Demon.

to:

* UrineTrouble: A fittingly dark usage of the trope. Hellhounds will do one other duty, which is to urinate on fresh corpses in a Keeper's Graveyard. This makes the bodies decay faster, leading to quicker Vampire production.




to:

* HarmlessFreezing: Sufficiently high-level Spiders learn a Freeze spell that they will happily use in battle. When they have no assigned tasks, they will meander to the Keeper's Prison and freeze the captives within. This has a side effect of making the prisoners live longer without input from the Keeper.

The horned reaper is the most destructive, psychotic fighter of the game. Summoned only using your temple, they are one of your fastest creatures, and have the power to slow any enemy fighting them. The reaper is immune to lava and has a good field of vision. If allowed to get annoyed (which happens very easily), they will go on a general rampage. It's best to build them their own personal dungeon, behind a locked door.

Your very own EvilMentor, and the narrator of the game. He is the one that guides you through the game. It seems he is an old Keeper than now helps you, new Keeper, adjusting to the game.

* Cloudcuckoolander : Sometimes, some of his quotes are... weird. Most of the time, however, he is sane (if evil)
* DeadpanSnarker: Hilariously and awesomely so. Here are some of his gems :
**"The very rock yawns with anticipation of your next fascinating move" (when doing nothing for some time)
**"Your nocturnal perseverance has earned you a hidden gaming tip, GO TO BED!" (if playing late at night)
**"You have an excess of Mistresses. There's a word for keepers like you" (if you have a lot of Mistresses)
**"If you were any kind of real Keeper, you would've won by now" (if taking your time in a mission)
**"You'll go blind, you know" (if looking for too long at Mistresses in a torture room)

'''Horned Reaper/Horny'''
Returning from the first game, but is now a single demon which everyone calls "Horny." He's even deadlier than in the original game, as he can't be damaged. Rather than appearing through a portal, you use a spell to call him in. He's actually needed for the final level as he's the only creature than damage the Stone Knights.
