10[[header:Shadow Galactica]]
11The main antagonists of the fifth and final saga of ''Sailor Moon''. The Shadow Galactica is an empire created by Sailor Galaxia whose mission is to travel all over the galaxy destroying planets, battling Sailor Soldiers and taking their Star Seeds/Sailor Crystals in an attempt to take over the entire universe. The organisation is composed of Sailor Guardians who either betrayed their comrades in order to survive Galaxia's wrath or were forcibly recruited into her ranks. After managing to conquer most of the galaxy Shadow Galactica arrived in our solar system in order to gain the last remaining Star Seeds/Sailor Crystals on Earth, including Sailor Moon's whose power is the strongest in the universe, in order to remake the universe in their own image.

15[[folder:In General]]
16* AdaptationExpansion: The musicals often added members such as Sailor Pewter Fox, Sailor Titanium Kerokko, Sailor Theta, and an advisor to Galaxia named Sailor Buttress. [[SincerityMode No, really]]. Also a male henchman named MC Fly.
17* AdaptedOut: Sailors Heavy Metal Papillon, Phi and Chi, and Lethe and Mnemosyne don't appear in ''Sailor Stars''. Not coincidentally, these are the members who don't come to Earth in the manga and instead are encountered when Sailor Moon and her companions go to Zero Star Sagittarius, which they never do in the anime.
18* DarkMagicalGirl: All members, especially Galaxia.
19* DealWithTheDevil: In the manga, several sailors reference the bargain they've struck with Galaxia: loyalty and servitude, in return for their own planet to rule at the conclusion of Shadow Galactica's conquest. Princess Kakyuu believes these are lies, and that Galaxia will inevitably wipe out her own empire's soldiers [[OmnicidalManiac as she has everything else]]. Certainly, Galaxia is not above offing incompetent minions for the crime of failure, but the sort of universe she'd want to preside over after finding her perfect planet is ultimately [[AndThenWhat left ambiguous]].
20* {{Fallen Hero}}ines: Many of Shadow Galactica's members in the manga are former Sailor Guardians that have turned evil. Those that aren't (the Sailor Animamates) killed the Sailor Guardians of their planets to their gain power, though both manga and anime mention that they are being [[MindControl controlled]] by bracelets that Galaxia has put on them.
21* HeroKiller: Particularly in the manga. With the exception of maybe two occasions, every time one of them shows up, a Guardian either dies horribly or is kidnapped. Also the fact that the Animamates killed the Guardians of their home planets before we're even introduced to them.
22* HumanAliens: Yes, they're from completely different planets. It's not like we've never seen that before.
23%%* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Due to the LighterAndSofter nature of ''Sailor Stars'', all of them except for Galaxia.
24* KnightOfCerebus: The story takes a darker and more philosophical turn when Shadow Galactica takes over as the story's main antagonist. Especially in the manga, which leaves Usagi downright traumatized [[spoiler:at the rapid deaths of her friends and loved ones at the hands of Galaxia and her minions.]]

33
34The final villain of the ''Sailor Moon'' series, a dark being that is the source of all evil in the galaxy.
35----
36* AdaptationalHeroism: By only a shred in ''Sailor Stars''; it claims it is reaping all the star seeds to end the [[ForeverWar sailor wars that have plagued the universe for time immemorial,]] giving it the barest of [[FreudianExcuse Freudian excuses]] versus the purely evil Chaos of the manga.
37* ArcVillain: By the end of the series, it becomes a menacing villain on its own.
38* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: As long as someone has evil in their heart, Chaos can take control of them. In the anime, Chaos also cannot be fully killed as long as evil exists, but it can be pushed back. In the manga, it will live as long as stars are born.
39* AxCrazy: Unlike with other villains, it can't be reasoned or bargained with. It only cares about causing destruction.
40* BigBad: Chaos is ''the'' main antagonist of the ''Sailor Moon'' series as well as the Shadow Galactica arc.
41* TheChessmaster: In the manga, it orchestrates all of the bad stuff that happens over the course of the series, and [[spoiler: manipulates Sailor Galaxia into working towards its goals, as opposed to possessing her.]]
42* CompleteImmortality: The Galaxy Cauldron grants it this, the only flaw of said immortality is its destruction, [[SadisticChoice which has MASSIVE consequences]]. In the 90s anime it also cannot fully be destroyed, only pushed back and weakened.
43* TheCorrupter: In ''Sailor Stars'', it corrupts Sailor Galaxia after she sealed it.
44* DarkActionGirl: In the 90s anime, where she is easily able to hold her own against all the Outer Guardians at once and the Sailor Starlights all fighting together.
45* DarkMagicalGirl: It's stated in the manga that Chaos will one day emerge from the Galaxy Cauldron as Sailor Chaos and we're treated to a single panel image of her.
46* TheDreaded: Everyone fears it and for good reason. It can seize the Legendary Silver Crystal and turn into several forms at will. In ''Sailor Stars'', it can even corrupt anyone, like [[spoiler:what happened with Sailor Galaxia]].
47* EldritchAbomination: The supreme, unknowable essence of evil and darkness in the setting. An [[EternalVillain eternal]] AncientEvil that every so often creates avatars to do its will.
48* EternalVillain: As the source of all evil in the galaxy and orchestrator of all of the bad stuff that happens over the course of the series. Queen Metalia, Death Phantom, Pharaoh 90 and Queen Nehellenia (or Nehellenia's cursed mirror in the 90s anime version) were nothing more than embodiments of its will and it is the entity pulling Sailor Galaxia's strings for much of the story. Sailor Guardians exist across the galaxy and have all been engaged in an epic battle against Chaos. Even after being defeated by Sailor Moon, Chaos has survived, and one day it'll be back to likely fight against the Sailor Guardians for eternity until it finally wins.
49* EvilRedhead: In ''Sailor Stars'', it turns Galaxia's hair fully red when it possesses her completely.
50* EvilSoundsDeep: Chaos speaks with a voice filer over [[spoiler:Sailor Galaxia's]] voice in the 90s anime, adding an echoed deep tone under her normal voice.
51* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: As pictured above in ''Sailor Stars'', Chaos wears a massive heap of green eyeshaow once it fully takes Galaxia's body.
52* FightingAShadow: In the manga, all of the previous {{Big Bad}}s were incarnated aspects of Chaos, while Chaos itself has been safely residing in the Galaxy Cauldron.
53* FinalBoss: Chaos is the true final villain of ''Sailor Moon'', ''the'' absolutely most powerful villain and most dangerous one in the series.
54* GodOfEvil: The ultimate source of all evil in the galaxy, especially in the anime, where it's all the verse's evil given a will of its own.
55* GreaterScopeVillain: Queen Metalia, Death Phantom, Pharaoh 90 and Queen Nehellenia (or Nehellenia's cursed mirror in the 90s anime version) were nothing more than embodiments of Chaos, carrying on its will to seek out and seize the Silver Moon Crystal in order to obtain the ultimate power necessary to achieve its true goal.
56* InvincibleVillain: In the manga, Chaos cannot be destroyed without destroying the Galaxy Cauldron, which would end up dooming the galaxy and perhaps even the whole ''universe'' itself to a slow death, as without the Galaxy Cauldron, no more stars are being born, which Sailor Moon is unwilling to do and [[TakesAThirdOption she instead decides]] to forcibly drag Chaos deep enough into the Cauldron that its essence is diluted enough that [[SealedEvilInACan it enters a sort of hibernation/comatose state]], though it is only a temporary measure. Ultimately, [[spoiler:this will cause Chaos to return at an unspecified time in the future as Sailor Chaos, leading to an age of battle and war.]]
57* MakeupIsEvil: In the 90s anime Chaos is adorned with green ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow and purple lipstick.
58* TheManBehindTheMan: Chaos is the evil force behind all the villains of previous arcs, and is even manipulating the BigBad of the Shadow Galactica arc. In ''Sailor Stars'', [[spoiler:it is controlling Sailor Galaxia's body and is responsible for every evil action she has done.]]
59* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: It came about as a result of the Sailor Wars in the 90s anime, and claims it seeks to wipe out all life in the universe to end war. However, given that it sadistically torments the Sailor Guardians and seems to take delight in destruction, it clearly has malicious intent.
60* OhCrap: In ''Sailor Stars'', Chaos reacts in horror as [[spoiler:Sailor Moon reconnects with Galaxia's personality and purges Chaos from the latter's body]].
61* OmnicidalManiac: It desires to bring [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt an end to the universe]] and recreate it anew to fit its whims.
62* PaintItBlack: Chaos trades in Galaxia's GoldenSuperMode armor for pitch black and [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]] gear.
63* PowerGivesYouWings: When it ceases to hold back in the 90s anime, it grows a pair of demonic wings.
64* PowerLimiter: In the 90s anime Chaos shatters [[spoiler:Galaxia's bracelets]] when it intends to fight all out, transforming itself into [[spoiler:Sailor Chaos/Chaos Galaxia.]]
65* PrecisionFStrike: In certain subs, Chaos swears when referring to [[spoiler:Chibi-Chibi]], calling her "that damned Light of Hope".
66* PurpleIsPowerful: It trades in [[spoiler:Galaxia's golden armor]] for a black, red, and purple version once it [[spoiler:stops holding back.]] It also turns [[spoiler:Galaxia's skin a very pale shade of purple.]]
67* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Chaos is always depicted as a black shadow. When it fully possesses [[spoiler: Sailor Galaxia]] in the 90s anime, it turns her body and costume into a red and black version of itself.
68* RedEyesTakeWarning: Just before it stops holding back against Sailor Moon, [[spoiler:Galaxia's]] eyes glow a bright, pulsing red.
69* SadisticChoice: As Chaos is too deeply entrenched in the Galaxy Cauldron, destroying Chaos permanently requires destroying the Galaxy Cauldron, which means no more new star-seeds being born, thus dooming the galaxy (perhaps even the whole ''universe'') to a slow extinction of all forms of life, as well as no more stars being born. [[spoiler:Sailor Moon [[TakesAThirdOption instead decides]] to forcibly drag Chaos deep enough into the Cauldron that its essence is diluted enough that [[SealedEvilInACan it enters a sort of hibernation/comatose state]], though it is only a temporary measure.]]
70* SheatheYourSword: In the 90s anime, it is only defeated by Sailor Moon refusing to fight it and [[spoiler:convincing Galaxia's soul to regain control of her body from Chaos.]]
71* SuddenlySpeaking: By the end of the manga, Chaos finally speaks during [[spoiler:Sailor Moon's battle with Sailor Galaxia]].
72* SupernaturalGoldEyes: In the 90s anime, [[spoiler:when Chaos fully consumes Sailor Galaxia's body.]]
73* UndeathlyPallor: [[spoiler:When it succeeds in fully possessing Galaxia, it turns her skin a deathly white, hinting at her soulless nature.]]
74* UnseenEvil: [[spoiler:Particularly in the manga, where we barely even see what it looks like, though it seems to resemble Metalia.]]
75* YouHaveFailedMe: In true ''Sailor Moon'' fashion, Chaos is willing to kill anyone should they fail their missions. In the manga, it attempts to murder Galaxia at the Galaxy Cauldron after she brings Sailor Moon to it (although in fairness, [[TheStarscream Galaxia was planning on backstabbing Chaos first]]). It's only by Sailor Moon's intervention that Galaxia survives.

81->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MitsukoHorie [TV series], Creator/MegumiHayashibara [''Cosmos''] (JP), Creator/CarrieKeranen (EN), [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]] Nancy [=McKenzie=] ([=LatAm=]), Creator/IsabelWolmar (PT) [[/labelnote]]\
82'''Played in the musicals by''': Saori Sara, Tamami Matsumoto, Takemi, Yumie Sakaguchi
83----
84* AdaptationalHeroism: In the anime, she was a legendary heroic Sailor Soldier who [[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan sealed Chaos inside herself]] long ago at the climax of the Sailor Wars, [[spoiler:and is only trying to take over the galaxy now because Chaos is possessing her]]. In the manga, she works for Chaos voluntarily out of her own lust for power.
85* AllThereInTheManual: If you have only read the manga, you wouldn't know that her hair is actually '''dual-colored''' -- golden-orange and red, specifically -- due to the fact that the manga's greyscale images depict her hair as a uniform "white" shade, and the colored cover pages only show her in her armor, in which her long hair being rolled back into her headress and shows only the golden-orange part. Her artbook illustrations, concept art, and ''Sailor Stars'' shows her hair's multicolored nature more clearly.
86* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: When she is [[spoiler:fully possessed by Chaos]] in the anime, her skin turns grey.
87* ArchEnemy: For Princess Kakyuu in the anime. After Galaxia destroyed her homeworld, Kakyuu fled to Earth in search of the Light of Hope. To Usagi in the manga; her targeted destruction of Usagi's loved ones earns the bitter enmity of Sailor Moon.
88* BadassBoast: A particularly awesome one from the poem preceding her character song. She invites Sailor Moon to battle in space by saying: "Such a tiny planet is not suited for our battleground. It’s not even suited for you."
89* BadBoss: Her EstablishingCharacterMoment is having her minions killed immediately after they failed their mission to retrieve the Sailor Crystals.
90* BareHandedBladeBlock: Managed to stop and throw off Sailor Uranus' sword jumping attack with a single hand.
91* BeautyEqualsGoodness: She is nowhere near a nice person, but [[spoiler:out of all the "main" villains in the manga, she is the most beautiful and the only one to be [[HeelFaceTurn redeemed]] by Sailor Moon.]] Played straight in the anime, where her [[spoiler:evil actions are due to demonic possession]].
92* BerserkButton: Getting injured will set her off. With the power to back up the position of the strongest Sailor Soldier in the galaxy, she believes herself to be completely untouchable, so when the Starlights finally land a powerful blow that injures her, [[MinorInjuryOverreaction she completely flips out]] and kills them, declaring she doesn't want their star seeds anymore and calling them injuring her an unforgivable crime.
93* {{BFS}}: In ''Sailor Stars'', she has a giant sword. She doesn't use it that much, though.
94* BigBad: The main antagonist of the fifth arc. [[spoiler:Galaxia did become good towards the end of the series, either by the help of someone telling her about love, or by having Chaos purged from her, in the manga or anime respectively]].
95* BlingOfWar: Wears a golden plate ensemble into battle, in stark visual contrast to her dainty casual wear. Of course, as Usagi learns, she's just as dangerous a combatant in civilian clothes.
96* BreakThemByTalking:
97** Gives Usagi a nasty one in the manga, puncturing holes in her hopeful belief that the carnage wrought and the deaths caused can be undone.
98** In ''Sailor Stars'', she spends a huge part of episode 196 toying with the Sailor Starlights by attacking them while she repeatedly tells them how they are nothing more than dust to her and how everything they did to stop her was ultimately meaningless.
99* TheChessmaster: She awakened Queen Nehellenia just in order to force Sailor Saturn to grow up, and therefore being able to capture her fully grown Star Seed.
100* ClimaxBoss: Despite becoming one of the most powerful villains in the ''Sailor Moon'' canon, she's technically not the FinalBoss. That's the much eviler and malevolent Chaos.
101* CompressedHair: She has very long, wavy hair that she somehow manages to keep rolled up tightly enough to fit under her headdress. In the manga at least, it styles itself as she undergoes her Sailor transformation.
102* CurbStompBattle: Wins most of her fights with contemptuous ease.
103* DarkActionGirl: Galaxia is by far the most powerful villain in the series, delivering a CurbStompBattle to nearly every fight she's in.
104* DarkMagicalGirl: The manga version of Sailor Galaxia is what happens when a Dark Magical Girl grows up and comes into full power before meeting her good counterpart. The results are ''not'' pretty. She's also a Dark Magical Girl in the anime, although only because Chaos was possessing her.
105* DemonicPossession: In the 90s anime, [[spoiler:Galaxia tries [[SealedEvilInACan turning herself into a can for sealing Chaos]] and sends her own Star Seed (Chibi-Chibi) away to not get her contaminated. [[OutGambitted It doesn't work.]] However, being TheChessmaster she makes preparations to give the new generation of Sailor Guardians a fighting chance against her.]]
106* DevilInPlainSight: In the manga she takes full advantage of the fact she can transform to walk up to Usagi and Chibi-Chibi in the park, have a nice chat and then suddenly talk of Star Seeds before attacking.
107* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Despite being a major threat in the Stars arc, by the time she's defeated by Usagi, there's still another villain for the Sailor Guardian to take down: Chaos]].
108* TheDragon: She's Chaos' second-in-command in the manga.
109* TheDreaded: The Guardians and, in ''Sailor Stars'', Galaxia's own subordinates fear her and for good reason. She delivers a CurbStompBattle to all the Guardians and (in ''Sailor Stars'' at least) would kill her subordinates for any failures.
110* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:When the FinalBoss Chaos completely overtakes her in ''Sailor Stars'', her golden armor becomes pitch-black, her skin turns pale grey, and her naturally golden/red hair becomes [[TurnsRed blood red]].]]
111* EvilCounterpart: To Usagi, as an abnormally powerful DarkMagicalGirl rather than a normal MagicalGirl.
112* EvilIsPetty: In the manga, she once [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroyed a planet]] because a few people on it annoyed her.
113* EvilRedhead: In ''Sailor Stars'', [[spoiler:when she is fully corrupted by Chaos in the GrandFinale she becomes "Chaos Galaxia",]] turning her hair completely red and making her even more vicious than she already was.
114* EvilVersusEvil: Lethe and Mnemosyne recall her conquest of their planets as a good thing, as they were wastelands locked in unending wars. The two consider the "everlasting silence" Galaxia brought [[ALighterShadeOfBlack preferable to that misery]].
115* FaceHeelTurn: In ''Sailor Stars'', [[spoiler:Galaxia becomes possessed by the true BigBad, Chaos, after sealing it inside her.]]
116* FallenHeroine: In ''Sailor Stars'', she was once a revered Sailor Guardian who sealed Chaos away into her own body in order to save the galaxy. Unfortunately for her, [[spoiler:this made her vulnerable to DemonicPossession.]]
117* FirstInjuryReaction: In the anime Stars arc, the Sailor Starlights successfully draw blood from Galaxia with a last-ditch CombinationAttack, her first onscreen injury. Unfortunately for them, making Galaxia actually bleed [[BerserkButton pisses her off so badly]] that [[TheGlovesComeOff she revokes any semblance of mercy she had been showing]] and [[CurbStompBattle swiftly pulverizes the three of them]] with the full intent of completely destroying them in body and spirit.
118* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: In the 90s anime, after sealing Chaos within her own body she knew it would eventually corrupt her, so she sent her star seed, the Light of Hope, away ([[spoiler:which became Chibi-Chibi]]) to keep it intact and give future generations a shot at defeating her.
119* ForTheEvulz:
120** In ''Sailor Stars'', it's fairly clear that the Sailor Animamates' missions were meaningless and meant only to entertain her to begin with, yet she still kills them off when they fail her. Moreover, her offer to [[spoiler: Uranus and Neptune and her words after it is accepted]] imply that she cycled through [[BadBoss many, many sets of minions this way]]. Though not explicitly stated, it is heavily implied that she sent her minions out with the single goal to draw Princess Kakyuu out of hiding. After the Princess finally reveals herself, Galaxia attacks an episode later.
121** Likewise in ''Sailor Stars'', the only reason she empowered Queen Nehellenia was to awaken Sailor Saturn so her star seed could be harvested.
122** In the manga, she's not above offing a failed underling as well.
123* GalacticConqueror: She is very similar to Creator/MarvelComics' ComicBook/{{Thanos}} in her goals of galactic domination.
124* GoldenSuperMode: More overt in the manga, where we actually see her transform, but her golden battle gear isn't just a snazzy outfit -- it's her sailor make up.
125* GoneHorriblyWrong: In the anime she [[spoiler:sealed Chaos within her body and sent out her star seed to power up a Sailor Guardian powerful enough to stop Chaos for good. Unfortunately, this had the effect of giving Chaos the ''most powerful Sailor body in the galaxy'', which quickly caused Chaos to wipe out all life in the galaxy apart from on Earth.]]
126* GreaterScopeVillain: In ''Sailor Stars'', she awakens Queen Nehellenia from her seal at the beginning of the arc in order to make the Sailor Guardians Star Seeds their absolute strongest and revive the de-aged Sailor Saturn.
127* HairTriggerTemper: She can snap from calm to a towering temper or a malevolent vindictiveness and back again with terrifying speed given the power she has.
128* HeelFaceTurn: In both the manga and ''Sailor Stars''. [[spoiler: In the manga it happens when Usagi says what she really wanted was to be loved and showed her that she needed love, purity, and compassion to be a Sailor Soldier instead of pure power, and in ''Sailor Stars'' it happens when Usagi says she still has good in her after expelling Chaos from her body.]]
129* HeroKiller: She murdered or caused the death of nearly the entire cast.
130* IJustWantToBeLoved: This is another reason for her actions in the manga, instead of doing it for pure power. (Though she doesn't realize it herself till the end, her whole start of darkness was her assuming what she was missing was more power. It wasn't).
131* IWorkAlone: She seems to not believe at all in feelings of friendship and love [[spoiler: at least while she is possessed by Chaos, that is]]. In the anime, she outright states in an internal monologue that the only one you can trust in the entire galaxy is yourself, enjoys watching [[spoiler: Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune betray their teammates ([[FakeDefector or so she thinks]])]], and said internal monologue implies it's not the first time she pits Sailor Guardians from the same Solar System against each other for her own amusement. Her non-belief in teamwork is also subtly implied by how Galaxia apparently never told to the Sailor Animamates the real Star Seeds belong to the Sailor Guardians, preferring to do everything herself.
132* TheJuggernaut: Sailor Galaxia is just plain unstoppable, casually wiping out anyone unfortunate enough to become her target-including Sailor Venus at her mightiest. It's only when Eternal Sailor Moon goes all-out against her that she meets her exact match... And that only prompts she herself to go all-out. In ''Sailor Stars'', the only attack that manages to even ''scratch'' her [[spoiler:until Chibi-Chibi becomes the Sword of Hope, anyways]] is all the Sailor Starlights coming together and firing a desperation attack at her.
133* KickTheDog: Killing her subordinates for failing to capture the Star Seeds in ''Sailor Stars''. She gets several more in the manga, such as degrading a brainwashed Mamoru, and it's implied that her pastimes include resurrecting defeated opponents just to crush them again.
134* KnightOfCerebus: Both versions.
135** In the manga, she quickly causes [[FromBadToWorse everything to go to hell the whole arc by murdering everyone except Sailor Moon and Chibi-Chibi over the course of the arc.]]
136** In ''Sailor Stars'', she's a very serious villain with incompetent henchmen that are ''[[OhCrap shit scared]]'' of her with good reason, and causes the season to take a MoodWhiplash whenever she appears. Within two episodes of deciding to deal with the Guardians herself, [[spoiler:she's killed all of them besides the Starlights and Moon.]]
137* LadyOfWar: She is a Sailor Guardian who has lived through countless wars. It helps that her suit makes her look like she's wearing armor.
138* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Her bright gold sailor uniform denotes her as the most powerful sailor soldier in the galaxy.
139* LonersAreFreaks: In the manga, it's suggested that her life of solitude helped make her the [[SarcasmMode lovely lady]] she is today -- another way in which she and the socially blessed Usagi contrast.
140* MyGreatestFailure: In the manga, it's suggested that her failure to protect her home planet is what first spurred her to the tyrannous pursuit of power.
141* NearVillainVictory: After killing off the remaining Sailor Guardians towards the end of ''Sailor Stars'', Galaxia has won. Nearly ''every ''member of the cast is either dead, except for Sailor Moon, Chibi-Chibi and the Sailor Starlights. Fortunately, Sailor Moon [[spoiler:brings Galaxia back to the side of good]].
142* NoNameGiven: Her real name is never stated in either the manga or the anime.
143* NoNonsenseNemesis: Both anime and manga:
144** In the anime, most of the series is her first freeing Nehellenia to "train" Sailor Moon into getting her final power-up, and then using her minions to draw Kakyuu out. The moment Kakyuu is found, Galaxia enters the fight personally and ''wipes out all of humanity''.
145** In the manga she needs Sailor Moon alive for her plan, so she sends her minions after her... And makes sure she cannot rely on her allies, personally going after Sailor Venus and the Outers, the most dangerous ones.
146* NoSell: [[spoiler:Due to removing her own Star Seed from her body long ago]], Galaxia is completely immune to the effects of the bracelets her minions wear. [[spoiler:Neptune and Uranus discover this the hard way when they attempt to backstab her.]]
147* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Galaxia thinks she's doing what's right and wish to destroy Chaos, though not for any benign reasons in the original manga.
148* OmnicidalManiac: She wiped out all lifeforms on multiple planets.
149* OneWingedAngel: Towards the end of ''Sailor Stars'', Chaos's manifestation is [[spoiler:a powered-up Galaxia. With actual demonic wings and a black uniform.]]
150* OrcusOnHisThrone: In ''Stars'' Galaxia sends the Animamates out even though she could easily kill nearly everyone who opposed her in a matter of minutes and [[spoiler: finally does]] by the end.
151* PersonOfMassDestruction: Sailor Galaxia has enough power to casually destroy planets.
152* RankScalesWithAsskicking: As the [[spoiler:apparent]] leader of Shadow Galactica, she's easily the most powerful villain in the franchise next to Chaos. In all incarnations she gives a brutal {{curbstomp}} asskicking, taking down the Guardians in single blows and the Starlights only last as long as they do because she toys around with them. Usagi doesn't even defeat her in a straight battle [[note]] Though she refuses to fight with her after knowing her backstory[[/note]] but only wins by psychological means through showing her kindness that results in her surrendering the battle. Even here, Sailor Moon needed the help of allies to accomplish this.
153* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: In the anime, [[spoiler:when Chaos takes her body, it gives her an evil makeover by painting her armor black and her hair fully red.]]
154* RedBaron: The Soldier of Destruction.
155* RedemptionEarnsLife: In ''Sailor Stars'', [[spoiler:she's the only member of Shadow Galactica to survive to the end, thanks to Sailor Moon removing Chaos's corruption from her]].
156* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In the manga, [[spoiler:it's the ''act'' of redeeming herself that kills her, as the bracelet sustaining her Star Seed shatters as a result of her HeelFaceTurn. However, it's implied that she's reborn along with all the other dead Guardians in the end]].
157* RedEyesTakeWarning: A TropeCodifier for anime villains in general. She has red-orange pupils.
158* RedIsViolent: In ''Sailor Stars'' when Galaxia is fully [[spoiler:possessed by Chaos]] her hair turns fully red and she becomes extremely violent.
159* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the manga, she redeems herself at the cost of her own life, but in ''Sailor Stars'', she's still alive when Sailor Moon removes Chaos's corruption from her]].
160* TheStarscream: In the manga [[spoiler:she intended for Sailor Moon and Chaos to destroy each other during the FinalBattle in order to gain the power of the Galaxy Cauldron for herself.]] However Chaos saw this coming and is easily able to counter her.
161* StrawNihilist: Manga Galaxia was convinced that the world was horrible and that life was worthless, seeking power to justify her existence through remaking the galaxy.
162* TurnsRed: By the end of ''Sailor Stars'', her hair turns red after [[FinalBoss Chaos]] [[spoiler:corrupts her into "Chaos Galaxia".]]
163* VillainBall: Like Queen Beryl before her, Galaxia takes the YouHaveFailedMe attitude a little too seriously, to the point that she'll likewise kill an underling who's discovered the Sailor Guardians' identities before they can divulge the information.
164* VoiceOfTheLegion: After transforming into [[spoiler:Chaos Galaxia]], Galaxia's voice becomes heavily distorted as if many people are speaking at once.
165* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: In the manga, Galaxia desires to have the strongest star in the universe as her planet. All of her actions before and during the story were done in an attempt to become the strongest Sailor Guardian in existence and to have a planet worthy of her. However, during the final battle, she is exposed to Sailor Moon's supreme hope, purity, and love. This makes her realize that [[spoiler:she was never seeking power; what she ''really'' wanted all along was love and acceptance, but given [[DarkAndTroubledPast her upbringing on her home planet]], she had no idea what those things were. As she reaches out to Sailor Moon, recognizing her as the "star" she'd been searching for her entire life, her bracelets shatter and she dies.]]
166* WingedHumanoid: In ''Sailor Stars'', [[spoiler:after being fully possessed by Chaos she grows demonic wings.]]
167* WorldsStrongestWoman: In ''Sailor Stars'', Galaxia was, as befits her name, the strongest and most powerful Sailor Guardian in the entire Galaxy before her FaceHeelTurn and kept the title to the end, as far as sheer power is concerned.
168* YouHaveFailedMe: Galaxia won't hesitate to kill anyone should they fail her.

171!Sailor Animamates
172[[folder:In General]]
173!!Sailor Animamates
174----
175* AdaptationExpansion: Some musicals have added additional members, such as Sailor Pewter Fox and Sailor Titanium Kerokko (a diminutive of Japanese ''kero'', "frog").
176* AdaptationalHeroism: In the manga they're not really Sailor Guardians. They murdered the Guardians of their home planets and were given powers by Galaxia. In ''Sailor Stars'' on the other hand it's confirmed by Princess Kakyuu regarding Sailor Tin Nyanko and by extension all of the other Animamates, that they are true Sailor Guardians who were brainwashed by Sailor Galaxia using the bracelets. Whereas in the manga, Luna and Artemis deny that Tin Nyanko is Sailor Mau.
177* AnimalMotif: Except Siren, they're all based off animals (and a mermaid is part animal).
178* AscendedExtra: Just like most {{Quirky Miniboss Squad}}s of ''Sailor Stars'', in the manga they were killed off extremely quickly, some within the very scene they appeared in. In ''Sailor Stars'' the first four members appear in multiple episodes, though the others are AdaptedOut.
179* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The Animamates certainly seem to think so in the anime, considering that until they discover the identity of the Sailor Guardians in our solar system, they target high-profile figures that are either idols, experts in their fields, or burgeoning rookies for True Star Seeds, implying that the Animamates were former celebrities of their home planets. Sailor Lead Crow even lampshades how she never expected a bunch of ordinary-seeming schoolgirls turned out to be the local Sailor Guardians they've been hunting for.
180* BreakingOldTrends: Unlike other {{Quirky Miniboss Squad}}s, these were not direct counterparts to the Inner Guardians, but rather to the Sailor Guardians from their home world and (in some cases) the {{Mentor Mascot}}s of the series.
181* CompositeCharacter: The revelation in the anime that Nyanko used to be a heroic Sailor Guardian before being corrupted by Galaxia implies that her true identity may be Sailor Mau, the Guardian that Nyanko was said to have murdered in the manga. In the manga, Luna and Artemis deny that Tin Nyanko is Sailor Mau. This may also be the case for the other Sailor Animamates.
182* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In ''Sailor Stars'', most of the Animamates suffer the wrath of [[spoiler:Sailor Galaxia]]. In the manga, all of the Animamates are killed by [[spoiler:the Sailor Guardians]].
183* EvilCounterpart: In ''Sailor Stars'', Aluminum Siren and Lead Crow are Usagi and Rei, but working for the bad guys. This is used to [[spoiler: explore how Rei would act if Usagi died, and Rei's death ends up resembling Siren's closely.]]
184* HeroKiller: They have a high body count in the manga.
185* HumanAliens: All of them are of alien origin and look only a LittleBitBeastly.
186* LittleBitBeastly: Although they look mostly human, Iron Mouse and Tin Nyanko have animal ears and tails, Aluminum Siren has EarFins, and Heavy Metal Papillon and Lead Crow are {{Winged Humanoid}}s, with the latter having additional feathers on her body.
187* ThePsychoRangers: Not to the main characters, but they are apparently the evil counterparts of the Sailor Guardians they stole their Sailor Crystals from. However, barring a single panel of Sailor Coronis, none of those Sailor Guardians were ever seen to confirm this. Also, Lead Crow and Tin Nyanko are evil counterparts to the main characters' {{Mentor Mascot}}s.
188* TheQuisling: According to the manga, every one of them was originally a normal soldier on their respective home planets. They each betrayed and murdered their planet's real Sailor Guardians to pave the way for Shadow Galactica's hordes, and Galaxia rewarded them by making them fake Sailors, hence the "artificial" nature of their names.
189* ThemeNaming: Sailor + Metal + Animal.

197From the planet Chuu.
198* ButtMonkey: Even her death is somewhat played for laughs.
199* {{Fan}}: She seems more invested in her celebrity targets in ''Sailor Stars'' by actively following their careers.
200* KillerRabbit: She is very small and cute and her senshi form is based on a mouse. She's still a villain.
201* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Out of all of the Sailor Animamates, she's the least menacing.
202* MeaningfulName: In the anime, she uses the name Nezu Chuukou. "Nezu" comes from the word "nezumi" (鼠), meaning "mouse." "Chuu" (ちゅう) is the sound of a mouse's squeak.
203* OlderThanTheyLook: Nezu Chuuko is small and cute enough to resemble a child, but her job and choice of attire suggest she's at least an adult.
204* PrettyInMink: Her gloves and shoulders are trimmed with white fur, in addition to her white fur earmuffs.
205* RunningGag: She carries an old-fashioned black phone with her to keep in contact with Galaxia, and whenever it starts ringing, anyone nearby think it's ''their'' phone ringing as they check their bags.
206* SmugSnake: In ''Sailor Stars''. Sometimes played for comedy, though. [[CrossesTheLineTwice Even in the episode where she dies.]]
207* VileVillainLaughableLackey: Sailor Iron Mouse wasn't a very serious villain, but when she failed, she was (rightly) terrified of [[YouHaveFailedMe how her boss would react]].

215----
216Aluminum Siren comes from the planet Mermaid. In the manga she only appears in one scene during Act 52 where she's quickly killed off but ''Sailor Stars'' expanded her role.
217
218* AdaptationalComicRelief: ''Sailor Stars'' turns her into a ditzy CloudCuckooLander, contrasting the deadly monster she was in the manga.
219* AdaptationalWimp: In ''Sailor Stars'', Siren relies predominantly on her bracelets, and has no real fighting prowess. In the manga her Galactica Tsunami attack grants her PrehensileHair which she uses to kill [[spoiler: Mercury and Jupiter]]; in ''Sailor Stars'' the attack is just her throwing drink items.
220* AffablyEvil: She's so nice, soft-spoken and polite, it's easy to forget she's a villain. She hands out ''business cards'' to her targets. Not so much in the manga.
221* AnimalMotif: In ''Cosmos'', she's heavily associated with jellyfish which she summons for her Galactica Wave (changed from Galactica Tsunami) attack.
222* AntiVillain: In ''Sailor Stars'', she is easily the most sympathetic of the Sailor Animamates.
223* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler: After discovering Usagi's secret identity as Sailor Moon, Siren sent Usagi a ticket to an airline featuring the Three Lights with the implied threat of harming everyone on board, including the celebrity trio. Usagi naturally went and was willing to follow through with Siren's demands to keep everyone safe. And she would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling Inner Guardians who happened to be on the same plane and for the Three Lights being the Sailor Starlights as well]].
224* BigEater: She either complains about having an empty stomach or eats any good meal in her surroundings before attacking her victims. Much to Lead Crow's despair.
225* BunnyEarsLawyer:
226** Though she's the least ''evil'' villain on the team outside of battle, once she's in a fight she's ''absolutely'' vicious. LampShaded in ''Sailor Stars''.
227** Also, [[spoiler: she found out Sailor Moon's identity]]. Had she not died before she could tell anyone, the final season would have been much shorter. [[spoiler: Although she did write it down in her diary, which Lead Crow later finds.]]
228* CloudCuckooLander: She's rather out there and often has her priorities mixed up. In ''Sailor Stars,'' she is known to give her ''business card'' out to targets and the Guardians just because she thinks it's the right thing to do.
229* DarkActionGirl: In the manga. [[spoiler: She wasted no time in killing Mercury and Jupiter.]]
230* TheDitz: Often seems spacey and flighty.
231* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler: Specifically, Lead Crow's]].
232* EarFins: Her ears look like fish fins, although she can hide them when she's disguised as a human.
233* EvilCounterpart: In ''Sailor Stars'', she's basically Evil Usagi. Not Evil Sailor Moon, Usagi, as her interactions with Lead Crow are disturbingly similar to Usagi and Rei's interactions.
234** Because of her association with water though she could also be considered one to Sailor Mercury. Ironically she is also [[spoiler: responsible for her death, as well as Jupiter's]] in the manga.
235* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: She is utterly ditsy and useless in the anime. [[spoiler: Which makes her death by Galaxia much worse.]]
236* MissedHimByThatMuch: In episode 184, Aluminum Siren and Lead Crow go to Usagi's house to steal the Star Seed of a TV personality, only to find a blank Star Seed. This, in a night when Usagi's house was crowded with people with real Star Seeds (Usagi herself, the Inner Guardians, Haruka and Michiru, and the Starlights). Had Aluminum Siren and Lead Crow bothered to try to extract the Star Seeds of everyone in the house, they could have returned to Galaxia with a real Star Seed.
237* MoralityPet: To Lead Crow in ''Sailor Stars''. [[spoiler: And she remains this even after she dies. Lead Crow's last words just before she's engulfed by a black hole are "I'm sorry, Siren."]]
238* NavelDeepNeckline: Her costume is open in the middle all the way to her navel, leaving little to the imagination.
239* NiceGirl: A rare villainous example.
240* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: She comes from planet Mermaid, her people are implied to be merpeople, but unlike most mermaids, she has humanoid legs instead of a tail. She also has EarFins.
241* PassiveAggressiveCombat: She weaponizes her politeness against Sailors Uranus and Neptune by pointing out they're standing on Usagi's dining room table.
242-->'''Sailor Aluminum Siren''': I don't believe this!\
243'''Sailor Lead Crow''': That's right, you tell them!\
244'''Sailor Aluminum Siren''' (''horrified''): ''Don't they know people have to eat off that table?''\
245'''Sailor Uranus''': Oh, we didn't realize.\
246'''Sailor Neptune''': We're sorry.
247* PrehensileHair: In the manga. [[spoiler: She uses it to choke Mercury and Jupiter to death, before ripping out their Star Seeds.]]
248* SirensAreMermaids: Despite her name she draws on Mermaid motifs: Comes from Planet Mermaid, [[spoiler: and killed Sailor Mermaid]], has an overall blue color scheme, a seashell charm on her choker, her attack, Galactia Tsunami, is water based. (In ''Sailor Stars'' it is just her throwing juice boxes and water bottles). Her anime civilian name, Reiko Aya, even contains a pun on Mermaid. She does not sing and aside from her relationship with Lead Crow, has no connection to birds.
249* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler: Her discovery of the identities of the Sailor Guardians sets up the last seven episodes of ''Sailor Stars''. Siren wrote down their names in her diary, which is found by Lead Crow in 193 and exposes not only their names to Sailor Tin Nyanko but draws out Princess Kakyuu. In a way, Siren's actions are the ones responsible for instigating the climax of the last season.]]
250* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Fans can't seem to decide if she's called "Sailor Aluminum ''Siren''" or "Sailor Aluminum ''Seiren''". "Siren" is more common due to its [[SirensAreMermaids significance]] though, as well as its basis on the katakana.
251%%* {{Stripperiffic}}

259----
260From the planet Coronis, also the homeworld of Phobos and Deimos in the manga.
261* AntiVillain: In ''Sailor Stars''. Although she's not as sympathetic as her partner Aluminum Siren, it later becomes clear that she's only fighting for her and Siren's survival.
262* BrokenBird: [[spoiler: Siren's death really messes her up, and most of her appearances afterwards show she's increasingly losing hope of staying alive. You can actually pinpoint the exact moment Lead Crow finally gives up literal seconds before she dies.]]
263* ButtMonkey: Whenever she had to be the StraightMan for Siren.
264* BoundAndGagged: She gets tied up and gagged by Sailor Tin Nyanko in the backstage area, so her rival can take her place.
265* CantSpitItOut: When asked why she followed her to Earth, a flustered and angry Lead Crow tells Siren "I came because I was worried about you, my rival!" This is a subversion in that while she does tell Siren she's worried about her, it's always about their fictional rivalry.
266* DarkActionGirl: In ''Sailor Stars'', she sent Venus and Mercury flying into a stone wall with enough strength for their bodies to ''form craters'', and Mars and Jupiter into a greenhouse.
267* EvilCounterpart: To Rei in ''Sailor Stars''. Her {{Tsundere}} habits with Siren are quite similar to Rei's tendencies with Usagi.
268* GoodWingsEvilWings: In both the anime and manga, she's shown to possess a large pair of black crow's wings. In the anime, however, they're only seen when she's in Galaxia's throne room.
269* HoistByHerOwnPetard: In ''Sailor Stars'' she is killed by the black hole she herself brought to threaten the Sailor Guardians with, though she had "assistance" from Tin Nyanko. This makes Lead Crow the only Sailor Animamate to not be killed by Galaxia.
270* InsistentTerminology: She frequently refers to Siren as her rival, adding in "Eternal," "Former," and "Precious" on a regular basis. But absolutely nothing about the two says rivalry other than Crow repeatedly stating the fact, to the point that she actively hunts for Siren's targets. It seems the only reason Crow calls Siren a rival is to get her to take her job more seriously so Galaxia doesn't kill her. [[spoiler: It fails.]]
271* MeaningfulName: Sailor Lead Crow used the pseudonym "Akane Karasuma" in the anime series. "Akane" (茜) means "madder," a shade of red, and "karasu" (鴉) means "crow," making her name mean "red crow," a pun on "Lead Crow."
272* MissedHimByThatMuch: See Aluminum Siren's entry above. In episode 184, Aluminum Siren and Lead Crow go to Usagi's house to steal the Star Seed of a tv personality, only to find a blank Star Seed. This happened when Usagi's house was crowded with people with real Star Seeds (Usagi herself, the Inner Guardians, Haruka and Michiru, and the Starlights). Had Aluminum Siren and Lead Crow bothered to try to extract the Star Seeds of everyone in the house, they could have returned to Galaxia with a real Star Seed.
273* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Less so than Aluminum Siren. Crow is always the more serious of the two, and shows just how deadly she is when sends the Inner Guardians flying into stone and glass walls and threatens to unleash a black hole capable of killing thousands if she doesn't get Usagi's star seed.
274* PassThePopcorn: She often loves to stand back and watch when Siren starts acting vicious on a target.
275* {{Tsundere}}: In ''Sailor Stars'', towards Aluminum Siren. Even if you don't ship them together, you can't ignore how she nagged on her partner but ultimately cared for her.
276* WhipOfDominance: She wields a whip in battle and is a bossy and domineering villainess whose outfit [[DressedLikeADominatrix resembles that of a dominatrix]]. She doesn't actually use the whip very often, but she's often shown prominently with it in promotional material.
277* WingedHumanoid: She has a humanoid form with a pair of black crow wings.

284----
285From the planet Mau, also the homeworld of Luna and Artemis in the manga.
286* AntiVillain: In the manga (definitely not in ''Sailor Stars'', although this is because she's BrainwashedAndCrazy.)
287* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the anime, Sailor Tin Nyanko is a Sailor Guardian brainwashed by Galaxia's bracelets. When Sailor Moon partially purifies her by knocking one off, she alternates between trying to stop herself from committing evil actions and doubling down on them.
288* BondageIsBad: Her outfit resembles a dominatrix outfit, complete with shiny black leather, and she is evil. When she is partially freed from Galaxia's control her outfit partially turns white and less leathery in appearance.
289* BoundAndGagged: She ties up and gags Sailor Lead Crow in the backstage area to take her place.
290* CatsAreMean: Subverted. She is the most sadistic and cruel of the Animamates in the 90s anime, but she tries encouraging the Sailor Guardians to flee from Galaxia when she's fighting off her brainwashing.
291* CatGirl: She's clearly based on a cat. "Nyanko" is taken from "nyan" (the Japanese onomatopoeia of a cat's meow) and "ko" (a suffix meaning "child"). [[spoiler:In the manga it is revealed that she comes from the same planet, and is the same species, as Luna and Artemis.]]
292* CompositeCharacter: The revelation in the anime that Nyanko used to be a heroic Sailor Guardian before being corrupted by Galaxia implies that her true identity may be Sailor Mau, the Guardian Nyanko was said to have murdered in the manga.
293* DarkIsEvil: She wears all black and is the most evil of the Animamates in the anime. When one of Galaxia's bracelets is knocked off, her uniform becomes partially white.
294* DevilInPlainSight: In the manga she enrolls at Juuban High under her civilian persona and befriends Usagi. She infiltrates the school in similar fashion in ''Stars'', but only to get onto the campus, not to attend school.
295* DirtyCoward: In ''Sailor Stars'', she almost never attacks anyone directly, believing it's smarter to attack from behind.
296* FauxAffablyEvil: Especially to Lead Crow in ''Sailor Stars''. Her directly mocking Crow [[spoiler:immediately after mocking Siren while Galaxia killed her]] is followed by Tin Nyanko halfheartedly acting as though they're friends even as she sabotages Lead Crow's missions and [[spoiler:kills her]].
297* GoodWearsWhite: When she is partially healed by Sailor Moon, half of her outfit becomes white, and she is revealed to have a good and kind personality when she isn't being controlled by Galaxia's bracelets.
298* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Sailor Moon manages to partway purify her by hitting one of her bracelets and destroying it; this causes one side of her uniform to turn white and her to be torn between acting good or evil. Galaxia will have none of this and kills her off before Sailor Moon can finish. Granted, this kind of implies that the purification probably would have killed Tin Nyanko, anyway, since Galaxia only had to remove the other bracelet to kill her off]].
299* ManipulativeBitch: She manipulates Galaxia into killing Aluminum Siren in ''Sailor Stars'' out of a desire to take her place, convincing Galaxia that Siren was lying about knowing the identity of a Sailor Guardian.
300* MeaningfulName: She uses the name "Nyanko Suzu" as an alias, "Nyanko" (にゃんこ) meaning "kitten" and "Suzu" (鈴) meaning "bell." Tin Nyanko wears a great deal of cat bells in her Sailor uniform.
301* PaintItBlack: Her costume turning white when one of Galaxia's bracelets was destroyed suggests her uniform was initially white and turned black under Galaxia's brainwashing.
302* ProfessionalSlacker: She has little interest in working while Lead Crow is around, instead simply attempting to poach Crow's targets after doing her nails. That being said, she tries harder to actually get a Star Seed once she's the last subordinate standing.
303* PsychoElectro: In the manga and ''Cosmos'', her Galactica Puppet attack takes the form of electricity being fired from her bracelets. The electricity resembles strings that latch onto the wrists of her targets and shocks them. ''Cosmos'' shows it's capable of freezing her targets as if they were puppets on strings, allowing her to torment them at her leisure the way a cat plays with its prey.
304* SmugSnake: In spite of all of her posturing, she's a more ineffectual villain than her fellow Animamates.
305* TheSociopath: Her BrainwashedAndCrazy persona in ''Sailor Stars'' is devoid of any empathetic qualities whatsoever.
306* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: She has yellow eyes, foreshadowing her sociopathic and backstabbing behavior.
307* YouHaveFailedMe: Killed by Sailor Galaxia [[spoiler:after failing in her mission]] towards the end of the series.

315* ActionMom: A surprisingly evil variant, though her being a mother isn't touched upon in the series proper.
316* AdaptedOut: The only member of the Animamates to not appear in ''Sailor Stars''. She will, however, be appearing in ''Crystal''.
317* AllThereInTheManual: The artbooks list her as a Samba dancer and a mother. They're also the source of the name of her planet. The Materials Collection artbook also reveals her coloring, which is very bright and vivid.
318* ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth: She turns the souls of all the Crystals that Galaxia captured into butterflies. When she is first introduced, she is surrounded a swarm of them.
319* GratuitousFrench: "Papillon" is French for "butterfly."
320* {{Fanon}}: Because she is said to have a child (in fact, she's the only Sailor Guardian besides Sailor Moon to be confirmed to be a mother), it's commonly speculated by the fandom that she joined Shadow Galactica so that Galaxia would spare her child's life. [[invoked]]
321* PlayingWithFire: Her Galactica Scales attack is fire-based.

335* AdaptationExpansion: Some musicals make them a trio by adding Sailor Theta. In one version they work under MC Fly on Earth and go by the aliases Shadow Mantis (Chi), Sailor Bee (Phi) and Shadow Bug (Theta).
336* AdaptedOut: The two of them are absent from ''Sailor Stars'' and are only prominent in the manga.
337* AmbiguousSituation: Whether they were given pseudo Sailor powers by Galaxia like the Animamates they supervise or are true Sailor Soldiers turned to her side like Lethe and Mnemosyne.
338* AvengingTheVillain: After Sailor Phi is killed by Sailor Moon, Chi is so enraged that she [[spoiler: shoves her staff straight through Sailor Kakyuu's chest until it reaches the floor.]]
339* AxCrazy: They are easily the most violent of Galaxia's minions.
340* CreepyTwins: Possibly. They look alike and have similar names but they aren't outright called sisters.
341* TheDragon: The most prominent reoccurring members of Shadow Galactica besides Galaxia herself.
342* HeroKiller: They kill off Lethe, Mnemosyne and the Starlights, and Chi personally kills Kakyuu. They have a total body count of six guardians between them.
343* NoblewomansLaugh: In the manga, their EvilLaugh is a prominent "OHOHOHOHOHO" as they kill Lethe and Mnemosyne.

359From the planets Mnemosyne and Lethe. The two guard the Desert River of Oblivion on the outskirts of the Sagittarius Zero Star and are in charge of wiping out the memories of any trespassers that enter the Shadow Galactica territory. Unlike the majority of the minions under Galaxia's command, the two were both true Sailor Soldiers before joining Shadow Galactica. They signed up willingly after their planets' demise because their worlds were always at war with each other and Galaxia had made them peaceful by wiping out all life. Sailor Lethe is the Soldier of Truth and Sailor Mnemosyne is the Soldier of Memory.
360----
361* AdaptedOut: The two of them are absent from ''Sailor Stars'' and are only prominent in the manga.
362* AmbiguouslyRelated: How they can be twin sisters, as they're indeed said to be, while representing different planets.
363* AntiVillain: Mnemosyne and Lethe joined Galaxia because they truly believed she would bring order to the universe, something they desperately wanted since their planets were engulfed in an endless war.
364* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Mnemosyne feels sorry for Sailor Moon and restores her memory after Lethe erases it, then convinces Lethe to join her in helping Sailor Moon. Both she and Lethe then get killed off by Sailors Phi and Chi for turning on Shadow Galactica ''immediately'' afterwards.
365* HeroKiller: Lethe murders Luna, Artemis and Diana while they're amnesiac.
366* MeaningfulName: Lethe and Mnemosyne are both named after figures in Myth/GreekMythology. Lethe is named after one of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethe rivers in Hades]]; it was known as the "river of forgetfulness" because all those who drank from it experienced complete forgetfulness. This is exactly what happens to those who drink from Sailor Lethe's river. In addition, "Lethe" was a goddess who was the personification of forgetfulness and oblivion. On the other hand, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemosyne Mnemosyne]] was the Titan goddess of memory and remembrance and mother of the Muses. Likewise, Sailor Mnemosyne is capable of returning the memories of anyone who drank from Sailor Lethe's river.

368* RedOniBlueOni: Lethe is the much more aggressive of the two sisters, attacking Sailor Moon and the rest of her entourage and blaming her for the state of the universe. Mnemosyne is much more passive and tries to stop her sister from attacking Moon because she's sick of seeing Sailor Soldiers kill each other.
369* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Lethe is the tomboy to Mnemosyne's girly girl.
