History Characters / DungeonKeeper

* DropTheHammer: All orcs are equipped with big heavy hammers.

* DropTheHammer: They wield big hammers.

* AwesomeButImpractical: She's easily the most powerful creature you get, unless you get the Avatar on your side, but she's just as likely to attack you as the enemy. The Horned Reaper is only really useful in the final levels of the campaign, otherwise they are usually too much trouble to use.

* AxCrazy: She wants nothing more to kill things, be they the enemy or your own minions when she's really angry.
* TheBerserker: She's barely controllable and will fly into a rage attacking everything she sees.

* LightningBruiser: Bile Demons and Dragons may outlast her, but the Horned Reaper's offensive strength is unmatched and her speed is above average.
* PsychoForHire: One of the finest examples. One of the better strategies for keeping a Reaper happy is to build her her own little dungeon, i.e. putting her in solitary confinement. Having the entry corridor be completely full of locked security doors is optional.
* SinisterScythe: Her signature weapon, a huge scythe which she uses with [[OneHandedZweihander one hand]].
* UnstoppableRage: As soon a Keeper's Horned Reaper snaps, she ''is not coming back''. She will not stop until you, your minions, and your entire dungeon is broken and bloody. Or she's dead.

* AwesomeButImpractical: He's easily the most powerful creature you get, unless you get the Avatar on your side, but he's just as likely to attack you as the enemy. The Horned Reaper is only really useful in the final levels of the campaign, otherwise they are usually too much trouble to use.
* AttackAttackAttack: Left to their own devices, they will pursue all enemies until they're a pile of sliced meats.
* AxCrazy: It wants nothing more to kill things, be they the enemy or your own minions when it's really angry.
* TheBerserker: He's barely controllable and will fly into a rage attacking everything he sees.

* BossInMookClothing: There is one of these guys working for the heroes in the last level, and a [[OhCrap level 10 one at that.]]
* HairTriggerTemper: See the main page for the big list of what a Horned Reaper hates.
* LightningBruiser: Bile Demons and Dragons may outlast him, but the Horned Reaper's offensive strength is unmatched and his speed is above average.
* PsychoForHire: One of the finest examples. One of the better strategies for keeping a Reaper happy is to build him his own little dungeon, i.e. putting him in solitary confinement. Having the entry corridor be completely full of locked security doors is optional.
* SinisterScythe: His signature weapon, a huge scythe he uses with ''one hand''.
* UnstoppableRage: As soon a Keeper's Horned Reaper snaps, he ''is not coming back''. He will not stop until you, your minions, and your entire dungeon is broken and bloody. Or he's dead.

* LightningBruiser: Capable of holding their own against anything short of Samurai and Horned Reapers due to their high offense and blinding speed. Becomes somewhat literal, since Mistresses can learn the Lightning spell as well.

* GlassCannon: Actually have less health and armor than the similar Barbarian unit. Make up for it with gargantuan strength.

* WhipItGood: They utilize holy whips in battle. [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Sounds familiar...]]

* FairySexy: Have shortcut dresses that show both their ample cleavage and ShesGotLegs.

* BalefulPolymorph: The ending involves a goblin messing with a magic staff accidentally transforming him into a [[GenderBender female]] goblin, causing every one of the minions to give their new toy a lustful look.

* BalefulPolymorph: In cutscenes, their spell of choice converts its target into a chicken, [[EpicFail including himself when he accidentally pointed his palms inward!]]

* CombatSadomasochist: They inflicting pain on others, and especially love to inflict pain on themselves.

* StoneWall: Their damage output, with their [[BreathWeapon Flame Breath]], is actually very low. However, they have high health and [[HealingFactor Heal]], which allows them to survive for long periods of fire.

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: The only way you get these lost souls is by ''torturing people to death''. They are then subservient to you, oh dark one.

* AwesomeButImpractical: He's easily the most powerful creature you get, unless you get the Avatar on your side, but he's just as likely to attack you as the enemy.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Powerful undead sorcerers born from the corpses of the fallen. They also don’t like the company of magicians.

* StoneWall: Good health and can drain energy from enemies; however, drain is also his only attack, and does little damage per hit.

* BarbarianHero: It's in their name

A powerful melee fighter.

%%* CoolHelmet

* {{Expy}}: Of the Flies from the first game.

%%* ServileSnarker

* CrutchCharacter: A particularly horrid example. You need them in order to win in the first stage...then they are entirely outclassed by stronger units as soon as the second level. The only thing they really excel at is being rather tanky cannon fodder.

* SinisterScythe: His signature weapon, a huge scythe he wields with ''one hand''.

* LeeroyJenkins: Has the same duty as the Fly, but is specifically looking for things to kill while it's running around. And just like the Fly, it won't hesitate to attack enemies despite relative strength or numbers.

They hit quite hard and are fairly tough, which make them good fighters when combined with their freeze ability.

The troll is best used for manufacture, and has been known to turn down less manual jobs, such as research. Initially poor in combat, the troll gains good firepower at later levels. However, they are unlikely to use range attacks unless possessed.

%%* VillainTeleportation

* MagikarpPower: Low level thieves are annoying pests at worst, at high levels they are fast and dangerous assassins.

!!'''Wizards'''

Old wizards clade in blue, they specialize in offensive magic.

* BlowYouAway: One of their most dreaded abilities, especially in combination with poison gas.

* GlassCannon - Fairies may take only little punishment, but if groups of them come with the lightning spell, they will dole out serious hurt on your minions if you give them the chance.
%%* OurFairiesAreDifferent

'''Beetles'''

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Giant beetles.
* CrutchCharacter: A particularly horrid example. You need them in order to win in the first stage...then they are entirely outclassed by stronger units as soon as the second level. The only thing they really excel at is being rather ranky cannon fodder.

'''Bile Demons'''

'''Dark Mistresses'''

* ArchEnemy: Samurais.

'''Demon Spawn'''

'''Dragons'''

* BadassBookworm: They are among the strongest creatures in the game and they enjoy reading making, them a good minion to have in the library.

%%* LooksLikeOrlok

'''Warlocks'''

'''Tunneler'''

%%* SquishyWizard
* RobeAndWizardHat: Looks like a discount Gandalf.
%%* WizardBeard

'''Monk'''

'''Barbarian'''

'''Priestess'''

'''Fairy'''

'''Giant'''

'''Samurai'''

An excellent fighter, very quick and a good spell caster.

'''Knight'''

'''The Avatar'''

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Suince he never appears on screen, we don't know what he looks like or what sort of creature he is.

* 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.

* AllTrollsAreDifferent: These trolls are small green humanoids that are slightly below-average melee fighters but skilled artisans that will happily staff your workshop. They actually look more like goblins... Which is probably why the second game renamed them so.

* WhipItGood: [[Franchise/Castlevania Sounds familiar...]]

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.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Since he never appears on screen, we don't know what he looks like what sort of creature he is.

* CrutchCharacter: A particularly horrid example. You need them in order to win in the first stage...then they are entirely outclassed by stronger units as soon as the second level.

* {{Gasshole}}: Any fight involving a large amount of these guys is going to be gassy. It'll get to the point you can't even see what's going on.

* LightningBruiser: Strong, powerful, fast.
%%* MultipleHeadCase

%%* DropTheHammer

The spider is your first reasonable fighting unit. Good physical attributes are complimented well by a nice selection of combat abilities. The spider responds well to training.

%%* GiantSpider

%%* CombatTentacles

* AllTrollsAreDifferent: These trolls are small green humanoids that are slightly below-average melee fighters but skilled artisans that will happily staff your workshop.

%%* OurVampiresAreDifferent

%%* WhipItGood

%%* HotWitch

%%* FairySexy

%%* OurGiantsAreBigger

%%* EliteMook

%%* MagicKnight

%%* MightyGlacier

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}} : Sometimes, some of his quotes are... weird. Most of the time, however, he is sane (if evil)

%%* HairTriggerTemper

%%* SinisterScythe

%%* UnstoppableRage

The Horned Reaper, returning from the first game, but is now a single demon which is called "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.

* AxCrazy: Every bit as homicidal as the first game.
* TheBerserker: He will attack everything in sight at the drop of hat and is almost impossible to control him.

* BreathWeapon: [[CaptainObvious It's a dragon]].

%%* CardCarryingVillain

* LaughablyEvil: Especially in the original thanks to his snarky dialogue all round devotion to evil.

* TheStoic: [[NotSoStoic Unless your dungeon heart is under attack]].

* MightyGlacier: They don't even have legs.

* LightningBruiser: Capable of holding their own against anything short of Samurai and Horned Reapers.

* MagikarpPower: They transform into dragons at level ten.
* ArchEnemy: Hellhounds

* BadassBookworm: They are among the strongest creatures in the game, and they enjoy reading making them a good minion to have in the library.

* BossInMookClothing - There is one of these guys working for the heroes in the last level, and a [[OhCrap level 10 one at that.]]

* LightningBruiser - Bile Demons and Dragons may outlast him, but the Horned Reaper's offensive strength is unmatched and his speed is above average.

%%* PlayingWithFire

%%* FearlessUndead

%%* CombatSadomasochist

%%* TortureTechnician

%%* {{Fartillery}}

%%* MightyGlacier

* ArchEnemy: With Vampires. They're presumably jealous of their immortality.

%%* GlassCannon
%%* SquishyWizard

%%* EvilSoundsDeep: Very much so.

%%* BigCreepyCrawlies

%%* CombatSadomasochist

%%* BreathWeapon

* ArchEnemy: Spiders. Guess why.

%%* TheBerserker

These are good all round warriors and like to be allocated guard room duties. They are quick to learn from training, and form a good basis for any close quaters combat. Orcs will refuse any research based duties.

* ArchEnemy: With the resident [[FatBastard blobs of lard]], Bile Demons. It's theorized to be a case of "skinny vs. fat" by the fans.

%%* BigCreepyCrawlies

%%* BarbarianHero
%%* MightyGlacier

* {{Archenemy}}: With Dark Mistresses. This is very, very bad in the scheme of minion rivalry. Both will attack each other on sight with intent to kill, and both are extremely valuable minions when leveled appropriately. It will take some deliberate dungeon design to dissuade daily duels.

%%* EvilCounterpart: Of... well, Knights.

%%* AxCrazy
%%* TheBerserker
%%* BigRedDevil

%%* TheJuggernaut
