* SappingTheShapeshifter: [[spoiler: In the finale, he uses the divine power he's obtained to go OneWingedAngel. Every time you manage to chip off roughly a quarter of his HP, he shifts to a different form to put you off-balance, forcing you to wear through that form as well. For good measure, when you finally manage to strike down his penultimate form, the ending cutscene reveals that his true final form looks skeletal and decayed as if he's having trouble holding himself together - [[ClippedWingAngel right before a single blast from the Divine Dragoon annihilates it]] ''and'' the VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon.]]

* BigGood: She's the only reason why Melbu Frahma wasn't able to take over the world by way of rebooting the Dragon Campaign - namely, she created the Divine Moon Objects to massively screw up his plans and helped Rose become the Black Monster to keep the Moon Child from even possibly becoming a threat. By the time Frahma comes close, a new generation of Dragoons is around to stop him, and she aids them as much as she's able.
