4* Terminus is a surprisingly dark character for such a relatively light-hearted game:
5** Unlike other morally-dubious characters like Zhin and Androxus, there are tons of implications that Terminus is [[FaceMonsterTurn actually a decent person forcibly turned into an undead abomination and mind-controlled to commit atrocities]]. Oh, and ''he is still completely conscious the entire time'', with his original self briefly resurfacing several times before getting overwritten again by his emotionless dominating personality.
6** [[https://youtu.be/Q6ZHc5mpE4A Terminus' champion teaser]] plays out like a monster movie, with Terminus as the unrelenting monster. Cassie and Talus are fearing for their lives for most of the teaser until they [[HopeSpot manage to slay him]]. Then the [[OhCrap fear comes back]] when he reanimates.
7* Androxus' curse has afflicted him with a hunger for souls. This means he has an urge to kill which he can never satisfy, making him kill more and more... Think what it must be for a man who was once a servant of justice to forcefully become an AxCrazy killer.
8* Yagorath, a gigantic, acid spewing, spike-shooting, worm-like EldritchAbomination that's single-handedly responsible for destroying the future Atlas came from, and can devour champions in a single gulp as her ult. The sinister fallen guardian Vora is her herald, and her presence is dangerous enough to get the Magistrate and Resistance to unite against her, even getting the Zhin to put aside his differences with others to protect the Realm. Except that she shrugs off almost everything thrown at her, ignoring Cassie's crossbow bolts and Viktor's grenades and assault rifle.
