History Characters / KingdomOfLoathing

* SatiatingSandwich: His "Demand Sandwich" ability causes someone nearby to make him one. The permable skill you get from the Path is "Request Sandwich," which conjures a less-good (but still suprisingly good, consitering it's a peanutbutter, lettuce, and tomato one). [[DagwoodSandwich His club sanwiches are dodecouple-layered]] ([[ArcNumber 11]], of course) without lettuce or tomato, and with whatever he's killed instead ot turkey and bacon-in fact, they're only called that because he smashes them with a club to fit them in his mouth, and he preferrs black pudding to jam on his PB&J's. Reubens are the only thing normal (if big), because they remind him of a dog named Reuben he had as a boy. [[EatTheDog Which he ate]].

* SpoonyBard: Prior to the class overhaul, Accordion Thieves had ''no'' skills designed to inflict direct damage, which put them quite low on the tier list. Nowadays, they lean more towards LethalJokeCharacter.

* * TyrannicalHomeownersAssociation: Rather than moaning for brains, these zombies bemoan about lawns ornaments that violate code and contiguous square inches of weeds on the lawn (something that was based on Jick's own experience with the HOA) while attacking you with confiscated items.

* {{Bloodlust}}: You trigger its Hard Mode version by drinking a bloody kiwitini. The resultant scent of blood in your breath triggers its bloodlust, making it hit harder.

-->Falls-From-Sky tilts his head backwards and emits a mournful, howling noise -- the sound of an entire galaxy being sucked into a black hole. It hits you with the force of a trillion dying stars.
-->Falls-From-Sky briefly becomes a mirror, showing you your place in the Universe. Tiny and insignificant, you shudder.
-->Falls-From-Sky touches your skull, chilling it with the icy vacuum of space. It hurts, and you don't even get any of that cool dehydrated ice cream.
* EldritchAbomination: Some sort of entity made out of a living darkness that can cast the entire Dreadsylvanian forest in complete shadow even with the moon out, described as "a horror from beyond space".
* MotherOfAThousandYoung: Implied to be one to the bugbear race.
* OneHitKill: In its Hard Mode version, its opening move automatically kills you unless you are blinded in some way.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: One of its attacks involves gazing at you with its "eye", which is actually a star, scorching you for hot damage.
* TimeAbyss: Implied to have been born at or near the very start of the universe, during the Big Bang.

* BadassesWearBandanas: One of its drops is a headband that references this trope, though it's mysteriously not shown on his sprite.
* FunWithAcronyms: One of the special moves for the Hard Mode version is launching a "Massively Maiming Orbital Rocket-Propelled Grenade".

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: This one has wings and missiles, and the Hard Mode version also has a ''rocket launcher''.

* ShoutOut: A huge one to ''Series/{{Airwolf}}''.

* DropTheHammer: Specifically a gavel. It's one of the possible drops for his Hard Mode version.

[[folder: Groar]]

[[folder: Ron "The Weasel" Copperhead]]

* BonusBoss: Normally fought by [[SpeakOfTheDevil saying "Guy Made of Bees" into the Haunted Bathroom's mirror five times]]. This encounter [[{{Foreshadowing}} is conspicuously unavailable during Bees Hate You]].

!!Races and Factions

[[folder:Knob Goblins]]
Strange goblinoid creatures that make their home in Cobb's Knob in the Nearby Plains.
* PunnyName: Derived from [[VulgarHumor "knob gobblin'"]].

[[folder:Bugbears]]
Small animalistic creatures who seem to keep to themselves and look down on everyone else who lives in the Kingdom.

* FantasticRacism: They seem to dislike anyone who isn't a Bugbear and refuse to let anyone besides themselves shop at the Bugbear Bakery. Fortunately, they're terrible at seeing through disguises.

[[folder:Giants]]
The giants are a race of large beings that make their home in the Castle In The Sky high above the plains (though a few turn up elsewhere). Each one has unique quirks and abilities that affect the way they fight in combat.
----
* GirlsWithMustaches: All of the giants have stylish beards, even the female ones.

[[folder:Hippies]]
Nature-loving stoners and activists who are peace-loving, but not afraid to fight against anyone who doesn't share their ideals. They have a massive camp on the Mysterious Island Of Mystery where most of their members can be found.

* NewAgeRetroHippie: To a tee.
* ThePigPen: None of them are known to bathe regularly. They're actually so in-tune with filth that elemental Stench damage inflicted on them is reduced to one.
* PlanetOfHats: In a sense: "Hippy" is its own race in Loathing.
* TheStoner: Not surprising, given that they represent most of the negative aspects of real world hippies.

[[folder:Frat Orcs]]
A large fraternity of orcs who behave like stereotypical college kids and love drinking, partying and hazing. Their main base is a large frat house that can be found on the Mysterious Island Of Mystery.

* TheAlcoholic: They really love their booze.
* AncientConspiracy: They go back a ''long'' way. Their original headmaster is [[spoiler:Zombo]]. Wearing [[spoiler:Zombo's]] ring causes any male frat orc who sees it to acknowledge your superiority and commit suicide.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: They don't actually attend a university, they just like being in a fraternity.
* WackyFratboyHijinks: Pretty much everything they do outside of warring with the Hippies. Most of their noncombat adventures involve large amounts of drinking, hazing new pledges and other general frat mischief.

[[folder:Mer-kin]]
A race of mermaid-like people encountered on the ocean floor with xenopobic tendencies.

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: All merkin you encounter are extremely xenophobic and hate all other races with a passion, and even other Mer-kin.
* ForeignQueasine:
** According to the Monster Manuel factoids for the Mer-kin baker, all Mer-kin food is pure poison, and everyone is allegric to it. There is a bit of GameplayAndStorySegregation though; all the food you get from Mer-kin foodbuckets at least is perfectly harmless (albeit not very filling if not made into more useful food through Tempuramancy).
** Speaking of the Mer-kin baker, the mob drops some molasses that is described as "revolting". It still grants a beneficial status effect nonetheless.
* LanguageEqualsThought: The description for the Mer-kin takebag claims the Mer-kin language doesn't distinguish between "collect" or "steal", prompting the speaker to quip that working at a Mer-kin post office must be a headache.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Downright xenophobic, and found on the ocean floor.
* ProudWarriorRace: If the colosseum, their extremely high aggressivity, and the fact that their brutal school teaches their children to worship two elder gods of hatred and violence didn't tip you off...
* SoapPunishment: In their culture, this is used to punish those who ''aren't'' foul-mouthed or mean.
* SuckySchool: In addition to the mer-kin punisher you can fight at the Mer-Kin Elementary School, according to Monster Manuel, it is mandatory for all mer-kin to be able to sufficiently bully other mer-kin kids before graduation.

[[folder:Seals]]
Seals that oppose Seal Clubbers and are extremely demonic, not to mention evil.

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: They have been the moral enemy of Seal Clubbers for forever and mutually hate eachother. They're also typically fought through demonic rituals too.
* MonstrousSeal: Each and every seal is an AlwaysChaoticEvil, violent and brutish [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demonic entity]] -- even the baby ones.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: They're hellish, demonic pinnipeds that are viciously violent, and can be summoned via demonic rituals.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The only type of weapon that Infernal Seals don't take one hitpoint of damage from are clubs.

* BladeOnAStick: A barbed spear, which they call a "hookspear", is the weapon of choice for a couple of Mer-kin enemies, specifically the Mer-kin raider, diver, and scavenger.

The Discos Bandits are skillful rogues who use their deadly (and often underhanded) dance techniques to confuse and weaken their foes. When not stealing loot or showing off their moves this class enjoys the ability to make the highest level booze items with their super advanced cocktailcrafting skills.

Accordion thieves are much like Disco Bandits when it comes to sneaking and thievery, though their secondary skills focus on music and singing instead of dancing. In addition to being able to steal and use accordions, they have the unique ability of sneaking into the other two guilds and shopping at their stores.

* WeaponOfChoice: [[CarryABigStick Clubs.]] As mentioned above, [[HeroesPreferSwords swords]] can also count with a specific skill.

* WeaponOfChoice: [[EpicFlail Flails.]]

* WeaponOfChoice: [[ImprobableWeaponUser Utensils]], especially [[ForkFencing pasta forks]]. At higher levels, they learn to wield powerful chefstaves.

* WeaponOfChoice: [[ImprobableWeaponUser Saucepans.]] The better the saucepan, the longer their buffs last. They're also the other class that gets access to chefstaves, although they need a special glove to handle them.

* WeaponOfChoice: [[InstrumentOfMurder Banjos]], though they also use knives a lot in their skills. It used to be crossbows, back when they had the skill Crossbow Fever (which gave passive damage to all crossbows).

* WeaponOfChoice: [[InstrumentOfMurder Accordions.]]

* WeaponOfChoice: His trusty axe, [[ICallItVera Trusty]], to the point he won't equip anything else.

* SerratedBladeOfPain: His WeaponOfChoice, and it's electrified too. It's a possible drop for his Hard Mode version, and it does extra damage against certain types of monsters.

* HiddenDepths: Before [[spoler:his boss fight in the Avatar of Jarlsberg path]], Jarlsberg accuses him of being a DumbJock that was BornLucky. Boris's response is rather sobering:

* HiddenDepths: Before his boss fight in the Avatar of Jarlsberg path, [[spoler:Jarlsberg accuses him of being a DumbJock that was BornLucky. Boris's response is rather sobering:]]

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Before his boss fight in the Avatar of Jarlsberg path, Jarlsberg accuses him of being a DumbJock that was BornLucky. Boris's response is rather sobering:]]
--> [[spoiler:"Look, old friend, do you not know that I must lift weights for hours a day to maintain my manly physique? That I moderate my alcohol intake, though I thirst mightily for it, to stay sharp in battle? That I exercise my diaphragm to add heft to my manly bellow? In the same way you earned your magical abilities, I earned my muscle. And unlike you, I must diligently exercise my muscle, or it will leave me and I will be nothing. In a way, I envy you."]]

* {{Nerd}}: Explicitly described as such by the game.

* TurtlePower: Some of their abilities allow them to channel the power of turtles to aid them in combat, and one of their abilities is even named this, which causes them to become a Turtle Spirit Incarnate.
