These mass-produced robots bear a striking resemblance to the battle suit that razed the planet long ago.

* AnnoyingArrows: For most of the game it's played straight, [[spoiler:but it's subverted when Jeal snipes and kills Pottle with a single shot.]]

* {{Fartillery}}: A MundaneUtility version, no less. The Wind Fairy Sirufa was cursed with seismic flatulence, which you use for rocket propulsion across the continent at one point. Try it without a gas mask, though, and [[NonstandardGameOver you'll succumb to the poisonous fumes]], playing the trope quixotically straight.

* {{Gasshole}}: The Wind Fairy Sirufa, who is cursed with eternal seismic flatulence.

* PlotlineDeath: [[spoiler:Pottle]] is killed by [[spoiler:Danek Emperor Jeal, who in turn is killed by Sadoul.]]
* PunnyName: There's a desert oasis town called Vaygess, where you can lose all of your money if you're not careful. (see SchmuckBait).

* TheReveal: Two of them near the end of the game:

* SchmuckBait: One of the [=NPCs=] in the town of Vaygess is guarding a chest that supposedly steals money from greedy adventurers. If you ignore his warning and open it anyway, it does just that--''all'' of the GP you've earned up to that point is lost for good.

* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: Sadoul, to Jeal.]]

* TheUnfought: You never actually get to fight [[spoiler:Emperor Jeal]], because [[spoiler:he gets killed by Sadoul, who takes his place as the BigBad.]]
* WhipItGood: A weapon of choice for Kinsey. It can attack all enemies, similar to Pottle's whistle dagger.
