History VideoGame / Valenth

* PandaingToTheAudience: Pandaprrbs.

* TheWikiRule: An [[http://valenth.com/lore/HomePage official wiki]], and at [[http://valenth-pets.wikispaces.com least]] [[http://valenthlibrary.wikia.com two]] fan-made ones.

->"''Valenth is monsters and moral dilemmas and black-market dealers and shady business and {{tragic|Hero}} [[TragicVillain figures]] and a very, very deliberate [[GreyAndGrayMorality lack]] of such [[BlackandWhiteMorality black and white concepts]] as 'good' and 'evil'.''"

* AllegedlyFreeGame: Cash Shop adoptables can only be obtained using real money. However, the trading system does make it possible for non-paying users to obtain them.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: The Waterwings.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: The Zemoira, Carnotarus-like dinosaurs.

''[[http://www.valenth.com Valenth]]'' was a [[MadScientist Mad Science]], SteamPunk, and {{Fantasy}}-themed adoptables/story site. Players could adopt various creatures and level them up through several life stages, with each species having three different potential final forms. The site also had an extensive ongoing plotline, which often influences the selection of adoptable species available.

** OurElvesAreBetter: They certainly think so. And they call themselves ''Aeneski''.
** OurFairiesAreDifferent: Both the Aeneski and the Smallfae technically are fae, though the former are [[OurElvesAreBetter elves]]. The latter...[[FairFolk vary]].

* Hellfire[=/=]HolyHandGrenade: Flarion fire will burn almost ''anything'', destroying any and all lifeforms on the surface (barring magical intervention), and purifying any traces of Mirajin and Morte in the area, before regrowing vegetation much faster than normal. (However, it has no association with hell. Or Hel.)

* Hellfire/HolyHandGrenade: Flarion fire will burn almost ''anything'', destroying any and all lifeforms on the surface (barring magical intervention), and purifying any traces of Mirajin and Morte in the area, before regrowing vegetation much faster than normal. (However, it has no association with hell. Or Hel.)

* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: The Skid, cute squid creatures which were the first official species on the entire site.

* HorseOfADifferentColor: [[OurGryphonsAreDifferent Griffins]], [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Land-drakes]], [[BearsAreBadNews Prrbs]], Talstags ([CallARabbitASmeerp caribou]], {{Unicorn}}s, Baslisks, and [[RodentsOfUnusualSize Sand-Cavy]]

* CrossOver: Several promotional adoptables feature species from sister site {{Subeta}}. The Brass Hatchling also appeared as a [[http://www.subetahq.com/iteminfo.php?name=Brass+Whelpling Subeta item]] [[EarlyBirdCameo several months before]] its Valenth release.

** DOUBLE LEUPAK. What does it mean? So intense. (Also, its shiny forms are based on {{Subeta}}'s "spectrum" and "blacklight" pet colors.)

* InJoke: The Suspicious Green Treat food item. It was inspired by one user's particularly hilarious browser cache error, which replaced a normal Valenth food icon with a WebGame/DragonCave sprite.

* ElementalPowers: There are seven elements: [[BlowYouAway Air]], [[PlayingWithFire Fire]], [[MakingASplash Water]], [[DishingOutDirt Earth]], [[LifeEnergy Vitae]], [[PsychicPowers Mirajin]], and [[Necromancer Morte]][[hottip:*:Not natural. Ever. At least according to [[UniverseCompoudium the wiki]]--Nigel would dispute that]]

* DroppedABridgetOnHim: Initial user confusion over Elliot Christoph's gender.

* CallingTheOldManOut: Valdren does this to Kelan in Book II, starting his (Valdren's) FaceHeelTurn and descent into CompleteMonster.

* FaceHeelTurn: Valdren Flarion, who went from a slightly uptight {{Jerkass}} to KnightTemplar / CompleteMonster.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Nefirian Dreamscar, MadScientist. Later Valdren Flarion, who turns into either a CompleteMonster or WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds, depending on your point of view.

* WeirdnessMagnet: Poor Gabriel Gaunthier. He's had to deal with Lab Gremlins (not [[{{Gremlins}} those ones]]), [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Shadowling Imps]], Night-Worgn, [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Varworgn]] [[spoiler:including his partner Eva Santora ''turning into one'']], and now ''dinosaurs''.

* ComeForTheXStayForTheY: Most players join just to adopt a few pretty pixel creatures, but end up staying because they got hooked by the plot.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Sagarthay Felld was the most popular NPC in the Book I Enxiryixx invasion storyline, despite having only a very brief appearance. He later returned with a much larger role in Books III and V.

* ForeignCountryPopularity: A significant number of the site's users are from Continental Europe and Russia.

* InJoke: The Suspicious Green Treat food item. It was inspired by one user's particularly hilarious browser cache error, which replaced a normal Valenth food icon with a DragonCave sprite.

* MoralEventHorizon: Valdren Flarion passes this point at the beginning of Book III, [[spoiler:by killing both Aqk and his own father.]]

* NightmareFuel: A lot of examples, but perhaps the most notable are leupaks in general. The Mirajin itself could be taken as a more literal example, though it's more ''fueled'' by nightmares...
** The effects of a Boralion Dragon's breath weapon may want to make you scream in terror and flee. They don't use it very often, though.
** A lot of this stuff might actually be intentional, especially the leupaks. Of course...

** The Cancer Heavy Armor adoptables are based on the robots of the Game/MegaMan series.
