Line #165 Characters/TheServantsOfUngoliant


1	[[foldercontrol]]
2
3	[[folder: Ungoliant]]
4	The Spider of Night, the Dark Power in the South, and ruler of the Dark Land. Originally a high-ranking servant of [[Literature/TheSilmarillion Morgoth]], Ungoliant is now the most powerful being in the southern regions of Arda.
5
6	* AccentAdaptation: Speaks with [[CommonTongue Arda's equivalent]] of an [[{{Oireland}} Irish accent]].
7	* AscendedExtra: Originally only appearing in two chapters of ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'', Ungoliant is now the focus of her own story.
8	%%* BigBad
9	* BishounenLine: Bears a number of somewhat more humanoid features than what is implied in the Tolkien legendarium.
10	%%* EldritchAbomination
11	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Played straight, Subverted, and Averted, depending on the minions and subjects in question.
12	%%* LargeAndInCharge
13	* TheNoseless: Instead of having a nose, her nasal cavity is opened. She can still smell perfectly, though.
14	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Eight of them.
15	%%* VillainProtagonist
16	%%* VillainousGlutton
17	[[/folder]]
18
19	[[folder: The Underlord]]
20	The Underlord of Mórenorë is an ''extremely'' powerful demigod that [[TheDragon loyally serves Ungoliant as her lieutenant]] in Arvalin. He is perhaps one of the most frightening things that once would find in her service.
21	* BizarreAlienBiology: His body is naturally covered in a thick layer of strange spiked armor, and is very unusual in shape. Once such example is the fact that he has a distinct lack of traditional lips, instead having two sets of teeth: A set of thin needle-like teeth along the gums, and a flexible set of mandible like-spikes that protrudes from the outer side of his jaws.
22	* BlackKnight: His aforementioned outer body.
23	* DualWielding: Wields two schmitars in battle.
24	%%* SoftSpokenSadist
25	[[/folder]]
26
27	[[folder: Naikamil]]
28
29	A black cold-drake from the Far North of Arda, mother of Merkampa and Piutalamba, and the only Dragon in Mórenorë during the late First Age. She later becomes a high-ranking minion of Ungoliant, and even becomes the mistress of her own company of soldiers.
30	* AccentAdaptation: To emphasize her origins from the Far North, Naikamil is intended to speak with the equivalent of a thick Scandinavian accent (preferably Danish or Swedish) in ''Servants''.
31	* AnIcePerson: Since she is a cold-drake, she has a body well-suited for cold environments.
32	%%* ArousedByTheirVoice: Many characters in the story are fascinated by her voice. From the IceQueen-esque tone to her thick accent (see AccentAdaptation above), Naikamil's voice alone has earned her many admirers from among Ungoliant's minions.
33	* AscendedExtra: Originally an obscure dragon mentioned in a module for ''TabletopGame/MiddleEarthRolePlaying'', Naikamil is now a major character in ''The Servants of Ungoliant''.
34	%%* BreakTheHaughty
35	* ColdBloodedTorture: Generally favors this, depending on her mood.
36	* CompellingVoice: She ''is'' a Dragon, after all. This also leads to...
37	%%* DarkActionGirl
38	* TheDragon: To Ungoliant. Also literally, since she is a cold-drake.
39	%%* EvilMatriarch
40	* GeniusBruiser: She is essentially built like a war machine, but has a photographic memory, is an expert of her fellow dragons and other creatures of Melkor, and gracefully exhibits her sentience in her mind, speech, and body language.
41	* GrimUpNorth: Where she hails from.
42	* LanternJawOfJustice: A female, villainous, and non-humanoid example. Naikamil's lower jaw is not only large, but so strong and heavy that she can use it to crush rocks, ice, and even human beings with little effort.
43	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Her name translates to "Mother of Pain".
44	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Being a cold-drake, Naikamil can neither fly nor breathe fire. However, since her mother was an ice-drake (a wingless dragon with the ability to spit frozen water), she is built somewhat differently from other cold-drakes, and capable of spitting a jet of water several meters away.
45	* TailSlap: Like all cold-drakes, Naikamil has a long, whip-like tail, and she definitely knows how to use it.
46	[[/folder]]
47
48	[[folder:Darklanders]]
49
50	A race of Men native to Mórenorë. They also act as Ungoliant's primary {{Mook}}s on the mainland and in the Islands of Ormal. The Darklanders native to northern Arvalin are known as Delduthlings.
51
52	* AmbiguouslyBrown: The Delduthlings have features on their faces and bodies reminiscent of other races of Men in Arda (slanted[[note]]albeit ''downwards''[[/note]] dark-colored eyes, pale skin, dark, wild hair), but they still have features that distinguish them from the Men of Middle-earth. It is as though they are their very own race.
53	%%* BadassNormal
54	* ChildSoldiers: Most Darklanders that act as warriors are inclined to be teenagers and young adults, especially those that serve in the Islands of Ormal.
55	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Their personalities are inclined to be either this or TheComicallySerious.
56	* CombatPragmatist
57	* DarkIsNotEvil: They're not necessarily malevolent in nature. They just so happen to be associated with one of the most powerful villains in all of Arda.
58	* FantasyCounterpartCulture: The Darklanders in general can correspond to a hypothetical race of humans indigenous to Antarctica, although the Ormalic Darklanders are also more or less proto-UsefulNotes/{{Romani}}, albeit with the aforementioned grayish-white skin tone.
59	* LeParkour: The Darklanders that are assigned to the Islands of Ormal are inclined to be athletic and aware of their surroundings. They use both of these to their advantage when traveling throughout the Islands and the Sunlands.
60	* MotorMouth: Zigzagged. They speak at a normal pace, and are not as noisy as Gongs or Ogres, but they are inclined to speak with heavily pronounced Salvidoric or swift-paced Ormalic accents, which make them seem to speak faster or slower than they appear to be.
61	* PaleSkinnedBrunette: A recurring physical trait among male (and occasionally female) Darklanders, especially those that hail from Arvalin and the Islands of Ormal.
62	* SeenItAll: They worship a spider-like Maia as their queen, [[EqualOpportunityEvil work alongside Ogres, Gongs, Giants, and Pygmies on a regular basis]], live in one of the most mysterious regions of Arda, police the most dangerous parts of that region, battle borderline [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking speak with accents that seem alien in origin]]. So naturally, they are relatively fine with whatever person, demigod, or creature that sets foot upon their shores.
63	%%* WiseBeyondTheirYears

94	* TwinDesynch: He and Rhejya were seperated from each other when they were two years old; Grodyn stays in the Islands of Ormal, while Rhejya is sent to Delduthland, and eventually Salvidor.

100
101	%%* TheAce

103	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: [[spoiler:With Rhejya.]]
104	* JerkJock: Shows shades of this, being a strong, athletic type of warrior with a linebacker-esque physique, and is definitely a competitive type. But this is Downplayed, and he is also a...
105	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
106	* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Has a habit of extending hyperbole into what is more or less TooMuchInformation, much to the dismay of Grodyn.
