* CatchPhrase: "Now that is a secret!" or "Sore wa Himitsu desu~!"

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: It's very hard (if it's even remotely possible) to tell exactly ''whose'' side he's on at any given moment. He's very much like a prototype for [[PiratesOfTheCarribean Jack Sparrow]], right down to the fact that he can trick you even if you know he's lying.

*{{BFS}}: Wields a massive sword that is powerful enough to severely injure the normally NighInvulnerable Zelgadis.
*BlueEyes
*CurbStompBattle: Easily pummles the two boys in the party; it isn't until Lina strikes him with the Ragna Blade that he gets hurt. He survives anyway.
*CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: Strangely Justified: Because he gained something of a human conciousness when he was sealed into the body of one, a survival instinct not normally associated with the Monster race took over, thus making him no longer able to fight for the goal of [[KillEmAll eliminating all existance.]]
*EnemyCivilWar: Had a brief scuffle with the other lords due to the trope above.

*TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a short but harrowing one to Amelia about her black-and-white obcession with justice, then proceeds to try to kill her until Zelgadis saves her with a DivingSave.
*WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Normally he would KillEmAll, but his time as a human made him gain human survival instincts. Most of this trope is disregarded, though, because he still desires to overrun the world chaotically.

* MemeticBadass: A negative, in-series version. Lina's reputation as a "walking force of destruction" precedes her in almost every country she visits. One of her many bad nicknames that particularly cheeses her off is "Dragon Spooker". It's a direct pronounciation of the shorthand for "Dragons Step Past Out Of Clear Revulsion" -- aka "Dragon SPOOCR".



* LawfulGood: It's basically what she wants to be, though her behavior in-series can sometimes seem more NeutralGood or ChaoticGood. She's also sometimes portrayed as LawfulStupid (or, more rarely, StupidGood) for laughs.



* FlatCharacter



* ReplacementScrappy: He and Milina aren't reviled or anything, but when the anime and other media spawned from the novels, Amelia and Zelgadis were still regulars with Lina and Gourry, and the former two became series regulars. As a result, Luke and Milina are unknown to most foreign fans, and even in Japan they get little recognition. Their only major appearance outside the novels is as a part of a [[FiveManBand six-man party]] (and the only time where all six of them are together) in the ''Hourglass of Falces'' manga.
** It also doesn't help that neither he nor Milina have detailed backstories, whereas Zelgadis and Amelia do.



* TrueNeutral: Even when he fights for a greater cause alongside Lina and Gourry (such as battling [[TheEvilGenius Dynast Grausherra]]), both he and Milina just take whatever job they can get, and unlike the former two, they have almost no concern for the greater good.



* FlatCharacter



* ReplacementScrappy: See Luke's entry above.
* ShallowLoveInterest



* TrueNeutral



* MagnificentBastard: Look me in the eye after reading the [[WhamEpisode seventh and eighth novels]] and try to tell me Xellos isn't an example. Just try. Sure, he did it on [[spoiler:Hellmaster's orders]], but the ingenious manipulation that succeeded in spite (or perhaps even because) of Lina's ''knowing'' that he was trying to use her? All Xellos.



* ChaoticStupid: Naga is even more self-centered, arrogant and impulsive then Lina, as well as being just plain dimwitted at times. She also gets portrayed as shading into LawfulStupid for a gag in one OAv; she erases Lina's navigation marks in the Labyrinth they are traveling because "it's graffiting". ("You're lucky I've been cleaning up after you.")

Added DiffLines:

*AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance
*BigBad
*BigRedDevil: In the anime and games. His two appearances in the novels are bizarrely different in appearance.
*BlackMagic: Two incredibly powerful spells ([[FantasticNuke the Dragon Slave]] and Ruby-Eye Blade) draw power from him.
*DarkIsEvil: His skin is a very dark shade of red, and all of his appearances across the franchise take place in very grim settings, such as a tall tower in the first novel, or in the ruins of Taforashia in the fifth season of the anime.
*EvilMakesYouUgly: In the first novel, and how!
*EvilOverlord
*FinalBoss: In the fifth season of the anime.
*HijackedByGanon: Takes over Rezo's position as the DiscOneFinalBoss in the first novel/first anime season after Rezo awakens him.
*MidlevelBoss: In the first season of the anime.
*{{Oubliette}}: The sorcerer Lei Magnus's incarnation of Shabranigdo was sealed away (along with Lei Magnus himself) in a block of ice in the [[GrimUpNorth Kaltaart Mountains]]. A game on the [[SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem Super Famicom]] actually had both sorcerer and demon as the TrueFinalBoss.
*OrcusOnHisThrone: Justified in regards to the fact that he's a being [[SealedEvilInACan that was sealed away in pieces]], but he dawdles quite a bit when he awakens out of Rezo's body.
*PartlyCloudyWithAChanceOfDeath
*[[PiecesOfGod Pieces Of Satan]]
*ThePowerOfHate: Is powered by this. [[spoiler:During the final battle in ''Evolution-R'', he explains to Lina that he was able to cling to Rezo's soul while sealed in the [[SoulJar Hellmaster's Jar]] because of the fear and hatred he grew of her during his first battle with her.]]
*RedEyesTakeWarning
*SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:He's sealed alongside Rezo in the Hellmaster's Jar in ''Evolution-R'', and only [[MagnificentBastard Xellos]] is aware of it.]]
*SealedEvilInsideAPersonShapedCan: Seven "cans", even.
*ShapeshifterIdentityCrisis: [[spoiler:Luke's incarnation of Shabranigdo suffers from this ''big time.'' He despises humans for killing Milina, but still loves her, and hates his fellow Mazoku for setting off the incident in the thirteenth novel. He ultimately decides to give Lina and Gourry a large portion of power and give them a fair chance of beating him, and his love for Milina ultimately allows him to die by his own power.]]

!!Hellmaster Fibrizo
->Voiced by: Kazue Ikura (Japanese), Wayne Grayson (English)

Considered to be the strongest of Shabranigdo's five generals, Fibrizo is [[TheGrimReaper the manipulator of human souls and can control life and death at the drop of a hat.]] He is the main antagonist of the eigth novel and of the second season of the anime. His beast form is an amorphous black sphere.

[[NietchzeWannabe A sadistic and manipulative]] being who [[DeathSeeker thrives on murder]], he is able to defeat fellow general [[TheBrute Chaos Dragon Gaav]] with a snap of his fingers, and this sets off his sadistic plan that culminates into the climax of season two. [[spoiler:His plan was to provoke Lina to destroy the world by casting the all-mighty [[FantasticNuke Giga Slave]]; he succeeds in doing so by killing off her friends one by one. Unfortunately for him, the Giga Slave is miscast, and the Lord of Nightmares is summoned. Unamused by his actions, she obliterates him from existence.]]

----
*AFormYouAreComfortableWith.
*TheBigBad
*TheChessmaster
*CreepyChild: His human form is in the likeness of an androgynous young boy, which easily fools Lina and the others.
*CrystalPrison: He seems fond of imprisoning others with these.
*DeathSeeker: His ultimate goal is to more or less blow up the world-and himself-in a spectacular fashion. [[spoiler:He gets his wish when he provokes the Lord of Nightmares in the final episode.]]
*DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:The intervention of the Lord of Nightmares.]]
*DidYouJustPunchOutCthulu: Fibrizo, did you just nuke Gaav by snapping your fingers?
*[[DudeLooksLikeALady Dude Looks Like A Little Girl]]
*GreenEyes
*TheGrimReaper
*MindManipulation: Specializes in this.
*NietchzeWannabee
*SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name was romanized as "Phibrizzo" in the Central Park Media subtitles.
*SphereOfDestruction: His true form is what appears to be an amorphous black sphere.
*ThanatosGambit: Subverted, instead of having something come later, he wanted to die [[GoOutWithABang spectacularly]] along with the rest of the world.
*ViewerGenderConfusion: His girlish appearance is accentuated by the tomboyish female voice he has. The English dub avoids this by giving him a male voice actor.
*YouGottaHaveBlueHair
*YourSoulIsMine: He can destroy souls and subsquently kill others by crushing what appear to be little glass spheres-the physical representation of them. He [[DisneyDeath kills]] Amelia, Sylphiel, Zelgadis, Zangulus, and Martina in this fashion.

!!GreaterBeastZelasMetallium

[[TomboyAndGirlyGirl one of the two female Mazoku lords,]] and Xellos' mysterious master. Unlike the other lords, she prefers world domination to destruction, a sentiment shared by her servant. Also, Xellos himself is her only underling. Her beast form is an enormous anthropomorphic wolf with wings.

Zelas appears in the final novel alongside [[TheDarkChick Deep Sea Dolphin]] in a forest near Sairagg; together, the two of them trap Lina and Gourry into [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon an enormous sealed-off space]] where [[spoiler:Luke-Shabranigdo]] lied in wait. Milgasia the Golden Dragon reveals hers and Dolphin's identiy when [[spoiler:Luke-Shabranigdo]] is defeated. She makes several cameo appearances in the anime, and is the FinalBoss of a video game for the Super Famicom.

----
*AFormYouAreComfortableWith
*AmbiguouslyBrown: Her human form in the anime
*AnimalMotifs: Wolves.
*BigBadassWolf: Her true form.
*TheCameo: In the final episode of ''Slayers TRY,'' we can see her from behind as she is talking to Xellos.
*TheDragon
*EnigmaticMinion: Even more so than Xellos!
*FieryRedHead: Her human form in the novels
*FinalBoss: In the Super Famicom game.
*HotAmazon: Her human form in the novels.
*ItAmusedMe
*LadyOfWar
*SmokingIsCool: Her human form in the anime
*TakeOverTheWorld: She shares the same desire for negative emotions and pain like the other Mazoku, but finds their main objective (world destruction) pointless, opting for this trope instead.
*TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy half, with Dolphin being the "girly" half.

!!DynastGrausherra

[[TheChessmaster The tactical, scheming, and ever elusive]] master of disguise among the five generals. He uses all of these trades in order to cause destruction, and he hopes to start a second war between [[GoodVersusEvil the Shinzoku and the Mazoku]], along with the intention to [[spoiler:ressurect the piece of Shabranigdo in Luke]]. He is the main antagonist of the thirteenth novel. His true form is what appears to be a golem-like beast wearing spiky armor.

Dynast sends his general [[ActionGirl Sherra]] to hinder Lina and Gourry, and when she is defeated, he sets off the conflict in the thirteenth novel by impersonating the king of the kingdom of Gairia. Lina is able to defeat him by encasing him in Zanaffar Armor and striking him down with the Ragna Blade. [[NotQuiteDead The main part of his body on the astral plane remains intact, thus ensuring his survival,]] but he is otherwise severely wounded to the point that he can no longer manifest on the physical plane. He has not appeared in the anime or any other media.

----
*AFormYouAreComfortableWith
*TheChessmaster
*CriticalExistenceFailure: All that remains of him is a vital piece of his astral body.
*DeathTrap: Lina is able to render his powers useless by trapping him into a set of magic-nullifying Zanaffar Armor, and cuts him down from there.
*TheEvilGenius
*HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Has no definitive human form.
*MasterOfDisguise
*WordOfGod: Dynast has had at least four different priests and generals made in his lifetime; Zelas only has Xellos, and the other three lords each have one preist and one general.

* ReplacementScrappy: He and Milina aren't reviled or anything, but when the anime and other media spawned from the novels, Amelia and Zelgadis were still regulars with Lina and Gourry, and the former two became series regulars. As a result, Luke and Milina are unknown to most foreign fans, and even in Japan they get little recognition. Their only major appearance outside the novels is as a part of a [[FiveManBand six-man party]] (and the only time where all six of them are together) in the ''Hourglass of Falces'' manga.

* SevenDeadlySins: Lina has Gluttony and Wrath pretty well wrapped up. She's also heavily into Avarice, as her entire reason for becoming a traveling sorceress was to find money -- one thing that she can't stand is the idea of doing a job for free, and both the first and second season have a scene where her response to a person saving her is... ''to accost them for the magical items they used to save her''. In season one, it's Gourry's Sword of Light, trying to offer him a mere 500 silver pieces for it (which Gourry disdainfully points out is only enough for a regular sword), leading to several scenes of her claiming it belongs to her or trying to trick Gourry into believing he promised to give it to her -- ultimately, she declares she's never going to let him leave her side until she gets the Sword of Light from him. Season two has her successfully claim the Magic Amplifier Talismans from Xellos, by offering him a bundle of magical reagents with a salesprice of over 5.5 million gold pieces for them. She also has strong hints of Envy, with comments about how she can't stand the idea of somebody else having this or that strong magical item or powerful spellbook instead of her.
