Baleful Polymorph was renamed per TRS


* BalefulPolymorph: The wizard she seduced into creating the above-mentioned illusion [[GreenEyedMonster decided]] to take things a bit further when he saw her with her ''real'' lover; rather than use illusion to disguise her as a marikith, he turned her into a ''real'' one. Her sting can also turn people into marikiths.

[[folder:Sodo, Darklord of Paridon]]
!!Sodo, Darklord of Paridon
A formerly low-ranked dread doppelganger who resented that his clan's status meant he would always be sentenced to low-level and labor-intensive positions, instead of being allowed to ascend on his own merits. Acquiring a magical hat of disguise, he was able to impersonate the elders who ruled the doppelganger clans, starting a clan war that ended with the old order dead and him as the new Grandmaster.
----
* BlessedWithSuck: Who wouldn't kill for a touch that can heal all wounds and even raise the dead? A sadist addicted to pain, that's who.
* BloodMagic: Sodo keeps himself immortal by killing six people once every 13 years with a magical dagger, and using their blood in a dark ritual.
* ChaoticEvil: InUniverse -- it's the official CharacterAlignment given in his profile writeups.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Rose to power by engineering the death of his superiors, like so many other Darklords.
** Even more so, he's treacherous even by dread doppleganger standards -- betrayal of one's brethren is about the only crime they find truly abhorrent.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Loves it, but can't enjoy it anymore. Torture devices? He transforms too fast to use them effectively. His bare hands? That's where the "healing touch" part comes in.
* {{Curse}}: He's picked up no fewer than ''three'' curses. His original curse as darklord makes it impossible for him to control his shapeshifting. Overuse of the Fang of Nosferatu for its BloodMagic [[ImmortalityImmorality fuelled]] immortality ritual has made him a sadist who heals anyone he harms or personally kills. And in the Zherisia Survey splatbook, he is explained as suffering from a curse of heightened paranoia, which only exacerbates his initial curse.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: Inverted. He can take any form he likes, but is unable to hold them for more than a minute, less when agitated (read: All the time, as the Dark Powers have given him a curse of paranoia).
* {{Sadist}}: He's addicted to the emotions of pain and suffering he inflicts on others, to the point that being deprived of such feelings is physically painful for him.
* {{Telepathy}}: Sodo has the empathic powers all dopplegangers do.

[[folder:The Hive Queen, Darklord of Timor]]
!!The Hive Queen, Darklord of Timor
The ruler of the sewer domain beneath Paridon, she was once a spoiled princess who decided to scare her mother to death with the illusion of transforming into a half-human/half-marikith monster. Things didn't go as she expected.
----
* BalefulPolymorph: The wizard she seduced into creating the above-mentioned illusion [[GreenEyedMonster decided]] to take things a bit further when he saw her with her ''real'' lover; rather than use illusion to disguise her as a marikith, he turned her into a ''real'' one. Her sting can also turn people into marikiths.
* BewareMyStingerTail: And it gets more toxic with every egg she lays.
* ChaoticEvil: InUniverse -- it's the official CharacterAlignment given in her profile writeups.
* {{Expy}}: Of the [[{{Film/Alien}} Alien Queen]]. Marikiths are effectively Xenomorphs with a dash of {{Film/Predator}}.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Her mother had been blowing all of Timor's money in order to make it a permanent testimony to her greatness.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Human/Marikith. By transformation and not breeding.
* {{Matricide}}: Her new form scared her mother to death, as planned.
* MookMaker: Regularly lays marikith eggs.
* OffingTheOffspring: Fears that a queen marikith might kill her as she killed her mother, so she kills them as soon as they hatch.
* SpiderPeople: Her half-marikith body looks something vaguely like a gargantuan hybrid of ant queen and drider; a beautiful woman's upper torso giving way to a monstrous invertebrate body dominated by an immensely swollen egg-laden abdomen.
* XenomorphXerox: Although she's a magical creature instead of an alien.
