Protagonist of Metro 2034. Homer is a former Metro technician now living in Sevastopolskaya Station. He named himself Homer after the author of Literature/TheIliad because of his wish to write in his style and he has made it his life goal to chronicle the events and history of the post-apocalyptic Metro. He returns in Metro 2035 as one of Artyom's companions.

** Subverted by both WordOfGod and the event of Metro 2035, which reveal the baby to be non-canon.

* FauxActionGirl: Subverted. The main game makes it seem that she's this, but as shown in her level of the ''Chronicles'' DLC, she can easily wipe out a pack of Watchers and a platoon of Nazi stalkers, provided they're at range.

[[folder:Lyokha]]
'''Aleksei Zvonariov''' a.k.a. Lyokha is a young man living in Riga station who joins Artyom and Homer as an Intermediary in their trip to Theatre station.

* ButtMonkey: He shares Artyom's terrible luck and quite possibly even surpasses it.
* ThePigPen: He's described to smell absolutely terrible because of his job in the Riga station involves him carrying pig feces over to Exhibition.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: He ends up joining the Fourth Reich's Iron Legion after a group of Nazi [=NCOs=] manage to convince him about their anti-mutant agenda. [[spoiler:Only it turns out that he has a tumor that ends up sending him straight into a concentration camp.]]

[[folder:Letyaga]]
A veteran ranger who fought alongside Artyom in the Battle of D6. Two of them have been loyal friends ever since.

* ABNegative: He shares Artyom's blood type, which saved his life in the Battle of D6 after he was wounded.

* ThePoorlyChosenOne: Artyom does ''not'' have a good track record as a savior, even though many people in the metro view him as such.

* AffablyEvil: Surprisingly this, on account that he actually keeps his word, and admits to his actual allegiance. Doesn't make him any more sinister though.

! Major Factions

[[folder:The Rangers of the Order]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spartalogo.jpg]]
''[[caption-width-right:250:If not we, then who?]]''
Based in Polis Station, The Rangers of the Order are a neutral entity in the Metro, willing to help any station in trouble free of charge.

* BadassArmy: All are well-trained and equipped, with many implied to be former members of the Soviet/Russian military.
* BloodKnight: A lot of their members prefer killing enemies rather than taking them prisoner.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Most of them are said to be or implied to be former Russian Spetsnaz.
* FormerRegimePersonnel: As stated above, a lot of their members are heavily implied to be former Russian Army soldiers, particularly Spetsnaz.
* HeroicNeutral: They seek to help any station in need or in danger, whether it be a mutant threat, a Reich or Communist takeover, etc.
* TheOrder: They're also known as this.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: They really like to make it a point on how badass they are, especially in the beginning of ''Last Light''.
* {{Ranger}}: Obviously.

[[folder:Polis]]
[[quoteright:304:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/67987532245805317073.png]]
Polis is a collection of four interconnected stations located in the center of the metro: Arbatskaya, Alexandrovsky Sad, Biblioteka Lenina and Borovitskaya, located below what used to be the Moscow Library as well as the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation building. They are one of the most powerful factions in the whole metro in terms of military power as well as prosperity, and they are completely unsurpassed by any faction in terms of knowledge and education, which is why many metro dwellers consider them humanity's last hope. As its name suggests, Polis is built on the ideals of Greek city states and is governed by a platonic style semi-religious class society where people are divided according to their occupation.

* BadassArmy: Their army, The Polis Kshatriya, is one of the most powerful in the metro and many of their members are part of the Rangers.
* AllPowerfulBystander: Despite their military prowess and and plentiful resources, Polis prefers not to interfere with the affairs of other stations, even if those affairs are something that can threaten the entire metro.
* CrapsackOnlyByComparison: Polis is a class society, yes, but compared to everything else in the metro, it's practically a {{Utopia}}.
* DemotedToExtra: They only have a very small role in the game adaptions.
* MagicVersusScience: Played With; their society is largely formed around pre-war scientists and intellectuals, yet their society is very religious, likely because they can't rationally explain all of the phenomenon in the metro anymore.
* ShiningCity: They are the last remaining bastion of knowledge in the entire metro and are viewed by other stations with either envy or admiration because of this and their high living standards. While they aren't quite as rich as Hanza, their wealth is ''much'' more equally distributed, allowing even their lower classes to enjoy luxuries that no other station in the metro can provide, such as proper housing, electronic computers, 24/7 lighting and plentiful food.

[[folder:The Red Line]]
[[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/redlinelogo.jpg]]
A Communist faction residing in the Metro, consisting of the Sokolnicheskaya (Red) Line stations. Built on Communist ideals, they have the largest population of all the Metro factions, and frequently antagonize the other factions.

* BigBad: Of the second game.
* BigBrotherIsWatching: The Red government is known to pay citizens to watch their neighbors.
* {{Conscription}}: How they get many of their soldiers.
* DirtyCommunists: Obviously. Life under them really sucks. It's really telling when you have entire trains of refugees who want out coming through on a regular basis.
* EliteMooks: Their equivalent to the Nazi stalkers and Rangers, and are just as heavily armed and competent as them. They're encountered late in ''Last Light'', on orders from Korbut to hunt down Artyom and capture The Dark One.
* HateSink: They are just as hated among the metro dwellers for their actions as the Fourth Reich is and the only group who is willing to work with them at any capacity are the Trotskyists who only seem to work with them because [[EnemyMine they both hate fascists]].
* PoliceState: The Communist government keeps a close eye on its citizens, paying them to keep an eye on their neighbors.
* ThePoliticalOfficer: Their Commissars definitely count. They'll shoot anyone suspicious at first sight, friend or foe.
* PunchClockVillain: Like the Nazis, some of the Red soldiers aren't particularly interested in the conflict, only in it for the money or benefits.
* TankGoodness: They get their own armored trolleys in the second game, based on old steam locomotives.
* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Last Light'', their soldiers are much better equipped and trained, even possessing a number of armored vehicles like the Nazis.
* WeHaveReserves: Many of their troops are poorly-trained conscripts, used as cannon fodder to swarm enemy positions. They have the largest population in the entire Metro, so they have plenty of new recruits to spare.

[[folder:The Fourth Reich]]
[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fourthreichtexture1.png]]
''[[caption-width-right:255:Metro for the pure race!]]''
A Neo-Nazi fascist faction within the Metro, having taken up residence in Tverskaya, Chekhovskaya, and Pushkinskaya stations. Basing their society on Nazi ideals, they are often at odds with the Communist Red Line.

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Their members, being descendants of real life Russian Neo-Nazis, despise anyone who isn't a "pure" slav. This translates to having them killed on the spot.
* BoomerangBigot: They are a group of Russians who support an ideology that ''explicitly'' calls death for the "subhuman" slavs. This gets lampshaded in the first novel.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: Their stations in a nutshell. They're relatively nice places to live...if you meet their requirements for "genetic purity". Those who don't get sent to concentration camps or worked to death as slave laborers.
* DemotedToExtra: In ''Last Light'', other than capturing Artyom and [[spoiler:the Baby Dark One]] at the beginning, they have no significant involvement in the plot.
* DoomTroops: Their soldiers.
* FinalSolution: Pretty much their MO on handling any and all enemies, whether they be Reds or anyone considered "subhuman". Of course, they orchestrate these through [[HellholePrison concentration camps]].
* GasMaskMooks: All Nazi soldiers wear gas masks unique to their faction.
* GratuitousGerman: They throw many German words into their speech.
* HateSink: Their actions are considered absolutely deplorable by everyone in the metro and no faction is willing to work with them.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:In ''Metro 2035'', all of their stations are taken out by a massive flood they accidentally caused, leaving the chances of the faction surviving very unlikely.]]
* LegionOfLostSouls: Due to the Reich's low manpower, they attract people from other stations to join their foreign volunteer army known as the Iron Legion.
* NoSwastikas: Despite the Nazi imagery, they don't actually use the swastika in game, instead using the Moscow Metro "C" sign. In the novel and beta, they use a Triskelion-style Nazi flag, roughly similar to the symbol used by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrikaner_Weerstandsbeweging Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging]].
* PoliceState: They're constantly patrolling their citizens for mutations, or checking that they meet their standards (in height, physical features, etc.).
* PragmaticVillainy: By the events of ''Metro 2035'', they have significantly loosened up their tight racial standards to attract more fighters from other stations into the Iron Legion and the focus of their ideology has shifted from white supremacy to the extermination of all mutated humans.
* PunchClockVillain: If you listen to their conversations, you can find that some of the soldiers have doubts about fighting for them, and many talk about their families or escaping somewhere better.
* PuttingOnTheReich: They have adopted Nazi ideals and apparel, though their salutes and addresses are a bit different (i.e. they have a closed fist salute instead of the standard Hitler salute).
* TheSocialDarwinist: They value genetic purity, culling off any citizens with deformities.
* TrailersAlwaysLie: They were heavily featured in the pre-release marketing material for ''Last Light'', giving the impression that they would be the main villains, even though they actually got DemotedToExtra in the game.
* TankGoodness: They have at least two "Panzers" (armored trolleys with large guns mounted on top).
* ThoseWackyNazis: A post-apocalyptic Russian Neo-Nazi movement, engaged in their own little version of WWII's Eastern Front.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: They believe that by conquering the entire Metro, they will bring unity to its population.

[[folder:Hanza]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hansa.png]]
The Hanseatic League, or "Hanza", is a faction composed of the Koltsevaya, or ring-line stations of the Moscow Metro. They are considered the richest of the Metro factions, with an economy focused mostly on trading with the other factions.

* CapitalismIsBad: ZigzaggedTrope. While a lot of their members are known to be corrupt and/or are fueled by greed, they are also shown to be one of the most well-off, stable, and secure factions in the series. Also, a lot of their merchants will gladly provide Artyom with additional supplies, provided they get paid a hefty amount.
* {{Eagleland}}: Their society heavily resembles Gilded Age[=/=]Interwar period United States; a rich land of opportunity where people flock in the hopes of earning a better life, but also a land of wide scale economic inequality where many aren't able to reach their dreams of a better life.
* {{Greed}}: The primary MO of most soldiers and merchants seen, although how much it affects them varies between individuals.
* MerchantCity: Most of the stations they control are this. Market Station is called this for a reason, with most of the station composed of stands selling an array of goods.
* ProudMerchantRace: So much, that they won't allow outsiders to enter the other Ring Stations sans Market.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: A lot of their citizen's motives revolve around earning as much money and making a good buck as much as possible.

! Mutants

[[folder:Giant Amoebas]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/giantamoebae.jpg]]

Strange spherical amoeba-like creatures found inhabiting the D6 bunker. They are spawned from strange "pores", pulsating creatures that stick to walls and floors.

* ActionBomb: The Amoebas themselves run up to you and explode.
* BlobMonster: As the name implies.
* MookMaker: The amoeba pores.

[[folder: Demons]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mlldemon.png]]

Winged bat-like creatures found on the surface. They are extremely aggressive, attacking humans and other mutants alike.

* DeathFromAbove: Frequently attack humans on the surface. They're really tough and really dangerous.
* GiantFlyer: Large and winged.
* LightningBruiser: They move quickly, and can soak up a lot of damage.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Two particular Demons - one in the Library, and another on the Tower - will relentlessly pursue you until killed or driven off.

[[folder: Librarians]]
[[quoteright:248:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/metrolastlightlibrarian2.png]]

Giant humanoid creatures encountered in the Moscow State Library. They are extremely intelligent and extremely dangerous, but it is possible to avoid fighting them by staring them down. They come in two variations: regular Librarians, and Black Librarians.

* BadassBookworm: It is implied in ''Last Light'' that they are capable of reading the books found in the library.

* KillerGorilla: Their faces and posture imply they are mutated gorillas.
* LightningBruiser: Really large, really fast, really strong.

* StaringDownCthulhu: Stare them down long enough and you can avoid fighting them.
* UndergroundMonkey: Black Librarians are only found in the library's basement.

[[folder: Nosalises]]

Nosalises are the most common mutants encountered in the underground. Resembling heavily mutated moles, they are often encountered in large numbers. They come in several different variations.

* BlindedByTheLight: Due to their adaptations to see in the dark, Plated Nosalises are blinded by Artyom's flashlight.
* OurGhoulsAreCreepier: These ghouls are mutated moles.
* UndergroundMonkey: Comes in several variations.
** Dark Nosalises: Can take and deal more damage than regular nosalises. Encountered in the levels near the end of ''2033''.
** Winged Nosalises: Can jump further and move faster, and possesses a sonic attack that can stun the player, but can't take as much damage.
** Albino Nosalises: Only encountered in the Dungeon level in ''2033''.
** Plated Nosalises: Only encountered in the Caves level in ''2033''. They are much stronger and can take more damage than standard nosalises, but are blinded by your flashlight.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Plated Nosalises are scared away by Artyom's flashlight.
* ZergRush: Often attack in large groups.

[[folder: Lurkers]]

Quadrupedal mutants that resemble giant naked mole rats or dogs. They are mostly encountered within the Metro, where they reside in holes within the tunnels.

* FragileSpeedster: They're really fast, but can't take much damage.
* RodentsOfUnusualSize: They look like mutated rodents.

[[folder: Liana]]

Mutated plant-like creatures found inhabiting the surface.

* CombatTentacles: They use their tentacles to whip at passersby.
* PlantMooks: Mutated plants.
* WhenTreesAttack: They appear to be heavily mutated vines or trees.

[[folder: Shrimp]]

Mutated crustaceans. They are often found in or near bodies of water. Female shrimps look like regular non-mutated shrimp, except with no eyes and a giant sucker mouth, while male shrimp look a lot like plate-armored creatures with toothed mouths. A handful of Bog Shrimps are also encountered as boss creatures.

* BizarreSexualDimorphism: Female shrimp have giant mouths and no eyes, but otherwise, look just like oversized regular shrimp. Male shrimp look like a cross between a praying mantis and a [[Franchise/{{Alien}} xenomorph]].
* EyelessFace: Female shrimps have no visible eyes, with just a huge sucker-like mouth.
* GiantEnemyCrab: Mutated shrimp.
* UndergroundMonkey: Comes in several variations.
** Hatchlings: Juvenile Shrimp. They scavenge dead bodies, but are otherwise harmless.

[[folder: Watchers]]

Quadrupedal mutants that resemble dogs. They are often encountered on the surface.

* HowlingToTheNight: They howl when they spot you, signaling an imminent attack.
* SavageWolves: They certainly resemble wolves in appearance and behavior.
* ZergRush: Often attack in packs.

[[folder: Spiderbugs]]
Giant mutated arachnid-like creatures that inhabit dark and abandoned underground areas.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Are only vulnerable when flipped onto their backs.
* BewareMyStingerTail: Male spiders have stingers.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Giant mutated spiders.
* CobwebJungle: Cobwebs can be found everywhere in tunnels where they've taken up residence.
* GiantSpider: Not ''gigantic'', but much larger than a normal spider.
* ImmuneToBullets: Their armored upper sides cannot be damaged by bullets.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Light actually ''hurts'' them.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Like the plated nosalises in the original game, they are weak to light, except this time, it can even kill them when exposed to long enough.

[[folder: Biomass]]

A giant mass of...biomass that has taken up residence on D6's nuclear reactor.

* BlobMonster: Its incarnation in ''Redux'' especially, due to attacking you with the same biomass it's made of.
* BrownNote: The biomass is heavily implied to have been responsible for a phenomenon where anyone who looked at the stars in Kremlin would mindlessly begin to run towards them. Presumably this was a luring tactic used by the Biomass to catch prey. Notably, after the biomass is killed and the Rangers take over D6, the Kremlin stars stop having their psychic effect and player can look at them in ''Last Light'' without any harmful effects.
** The biomass' psychic abilities are further demonstrated in the novel where anyone near it has a compulsion to walk towards it and get consumed. It manages to kill 3 people this way before Miller, Artyom and the others wake up from its psychic effects after it consumes a child.
* CombatTentacles: Uses its tentacles to try and knock down the crane you're riding in. In ''Redux'', this is averted, due to the tentacles being replaced in favor of a radioactive slime attack.
* MeatMoss: A meaty creature that thrives on radiation.
* MookMaker: Has several amoeba pores that spawn Amoebas.
* NuclearNasty: It appears to live off the reactor's radiation.
* WasOnceAMan: It's implied to be the after product of the biological weapons that were used against Kremlin.

[[folder: Nosalis Rhino]]

A huge female nosalis that attacks you in ''Last Light''.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Its back and head are vulnerable.
* BullfightBoss: As its name implies. You can trick it into smashing into support beams.
* FlunkyBoss: Attacks with the support of regular nosalises.
* KingMook: A nosalis brood mother.
* TacticalSuicideBoss: It'll just keep charging into the walls and pillars without regard for its own welfare.

[[folder: Bear]]

A mutated bear that resides on the surface.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Her back is vulnerable when she's being attacked by Watchers.
* BearsAreBadNews: Obviously. The mother bear is extremely resistant to gunfire.
* BodyHorror: Like all mutants, but most notable is the bear's seemingly-exposed spine.
* MamaBear: A literal example. She's trying to protect her cubs from Watchers. You can choose to help her, or let them kill her.
* MightyGlacier: Really strong, but really slow.
* NonMaliciousMonster: As the baby Dark One notes, she's just trying to defend her cubs.

[[folder: The Dark Ones]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/metrolastlightdarkone1.png]]

A strange species of humanoid mutants residing in the Moscow Botanical Gardens. They are feared by the Metro citizens for their unusual psychic powers. They are possibly descended from humans who evolved to adapt to the post-apocalyptic surface world.

* AdaptationalHeroism: The books leave it more ambiguous whether The Dark Ones are indeed intending to live in symbiosis with humanity or if they are just planning to use their psychic powers to turn humanity into a SlaveRace. This is best seen, when Artyom [[spoiler:asks them would humanity really live with them as equals or would their co existence be just a form of forced servitude for humanity. The Dark Ones instead deflect the question, leaving it up to the audience to decide what their true intentions are.]]
* BrownNote: Their psychic powers can drive humans insane, intentionally or unintentionally, by mere proximity.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite their freakish appearance and powers, they just want peace with humanity.
* EndangeredSpecies: In ''Last Light'', [[spoiler:after most of them were killed in the missile strike at the end of ''2033'']].
* HumanoidAbomination: They are humanoid creatures with incomprehensible powers.
* HumansArePsychicInTheFuture: They evolved from heavily mutated humans, and have psychic powers strong enough to drive people mad.
* ObliviouslyEvil: All they want to do is make peace with humanity, but their powers are strong enough to drive most normal people insane.
* PsychicPowers: Have the ability to psychically influence humans. Even their ''ghosts'' have strange powers.
* WasOnceAMan: [[MultipleChoicePast Maybe]]. They may have evolved from humans who remained on the surface after the nuclear apocalypse or they may have been the result of scientific experimentation before the war [[spoiler:which would explain why there is a bunch of them locked up inside D6]].

! Paranormal Phenomena

[[folder: Ghosts]]

The Metro is haunted by the ghosts of those who lost their lives within the tunnels. They are usually only visible if one shines a flashlight at them.

* BarredFromTheAfterlife: According to Khan, the apocalypse destroyed both heaven and hell, leaving the ghosts nowhere to go but to haunt the places where they died.
* ElectromagneticGhosts: Their presence interferes with your flashlight and night-vision goggles, rendering them unusable for a while.
* LivingMemory: They are forced to repeat their final moments forever.
* LivingShadow: They take this form, and are only visible when light is shined on them, or out of the corner of your eyes.
* NonMaliciousMonster: As the baby Dark One notes in ''Last Light'', many ghosts are just lonely and scared, latching on to anyone living who passes by.
* NPCRoadblock: In the first game, some of them block Artyom's way, requiring Khan's assistance to pass them.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Living shadows that relive their last moments repeatedly. Touching one will seriously injure, if not kill, you. Ghosts can even be of mutants or inanimate objects, like ''trains''.

[[folder: Anomalies]]

Anomalies are strange orbs of electricity encountered within the Metro tunnels. Little is known about them, except that they are extremely dangerous, shocking anyone who gets near.

* BigDamnHeroes: Each time they show up, they helpfully electrocute a number of mutants attacking you.
* TheDreaded: Feared by mutants and humans alike. Even your Ranger companions are afraid of them.
* ElectromagneticGhosts: They seem to be attracted to large amounts of electricity, as Khan notes in the ''Last Light'' DLC.
* ShockAndAwe: They periodically release large bursts of electricity.
* WillOTheWisp: They certainly resemble them.

[[folder: "The Great Door"]]

An unusual phenomenon that attacks Artyom and Bourbon when they fall into a drainage room at the beginning of the Lost Catacombs level of ''Metro 2033''. It takes the form of a giant shadowy "door" that tries to draw people in.
