| 44 | * On the planet called Skaro, [[ForeverWar the Thals and Kaleds were locked into a battle for hundreds of years that turned their world into a nuclear wasteland]]. The Kaled scientist Davros saw the effects of radiation and [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke pushed forth genetic experiments that would alter the Kaleds]] so they may to their new environment. This took from what was a simple planetary conflict to a galactic terror as the Mark III Travel Machines and the mutants residing inside them became the Daleks, [[MasterRace a genocidal race whose goal are to wipe out all life]]. The Dalek race seems ridiculous with their plungers and whisks for guns, though that severe understatement gets a person exterminated by them more often than not. The Daleks grew to be such gigantic universal threats that the Time Lords, [[TimeMaster the custodians of time itself]], came to blows with the Daleks in the Time War. Like the Time Lords, it was thought the Dalek menace was mutually destroyed but through various means, [[ReturningBigBad the Dalek Empire was revived]]. They might not be constantly rewriting history to gain the upper hand, though the fact they can be ''really'' close is terrifying to all across the Pantheon. The numerous invasions the Pantheon had to face against the Daleks [[BeyondTheImpossible nearly brought the defenses down in direct assault]] speaks volumes about the threat they embody. |
| 45 | -->'''Daleks:''' [[AC:The inferior Pantheon residence are to be considered the enemy of the Daleks and be destroyed! [[CharacterCatchphrase Exterminate! Exterminate!]]]] |
| 46 | * The Daleks as a whole in the Pantheon have not set up an embassy willingly. It is more like they got their place by ''[[RefugeInAudacity invading]]'' the Pantheon or inadvertently ending up there. An easy picking like Earth is anything but easy with the Doctor around, so one could imagine how much harder the Pantheon is to take on. [[HaveWeMetYet Different eras of Daleks pop up across the Pantheon, either before the Time War, after, or even during with the intent to secure its conquest]]. Due to their extreme definitions of racial purity, the [[TheEmpire Dalek Empire]] is not representative of the Daleks. There have been many Dalek groups from the Humanised Daleks, Imperial Daleks, Renegade Daleks, the Restoration Empire, the Dalek Hive, and even the Malignant. As long as a Dalek works for (a group’s) goals of supremacy, [[IndividualismVsCollectivism they are considered part of the collective as divided as it is]]. Every era of Dalek history is considered, from their impoverished past to their glory days. Their power may be dependent on the era the Daleks come from, though their cleansing goals remain the same. |
| 47 | * It should be obvious that out of all the Time Lords, there is none that the Daleks despise more than [[AC:THE DOCTOR]] who has hounded Dalek history since their genesis, [[ArchEnemy mythologizing the Doctor as their predator]]. If there was ''not'' a time there was a climatic showdown between the Doctor and the Daleks, then there is something wrong that makes everybody nervous. Billions of armies do not make a Dalek even blink [[HorrifyingTheHorror but a single Doctor with a blue box can make their blood run cold]]. At the same time, [[YouAreWhatYouHate the more inquisitive Daleks noted the hatred for them by the Doctor burns so brightly, that it rivals their own hatred for the rest of the universe]]. All associates of the Doctor are also marked for death, especially if they directly fought against the Daleks. Not even the Doctor's enemies are safe from their wrath as seen with Rassilon and the Master. Rassilon led the Time Lords against them in the Time War, meaning obvious enmity was created. [[HeWhoFightsMonsters This president also had the Time Lords shift to act similarly to the Daleks, setting up Daleks and Time Lords not being too dissimilar in this period]]. There is also the Master which they were sure they turned to dust that one time, only for the Master to their [[WorldsBestWarrior elite Time Lord]] during the Time War. However, [[WildCard the Master stands on a thin line between being an occasional ally to the Daleks or being literally executed by them]]. Not that the Master has an issue with Dalek exterminating all life, though he wants that directed to the Doctor and everybody else outside of himself. |
| 48 | -->'''Daleks:''' [[AC:Alert! Alert! The Doctor's TARDIS has been sighted in the Pantheon! Multiple Doctors have been sighted in the Pantheon!!! Exterminate the Doctor! Exterminate the Pantheon!]] |
| 49 | * Obsessed with genetic purity and their own purity, the Daleks will always be a reflection of the extreme ends of what ego brings. [[AllegoricalCharacter Whether that be bigotry, paranoia, or consumerism, Daleks are representative of the extreme ends of these answers by exterminating all that is against their standing]]. Their own kind is not safe from this as genetic and behavioral impurities drive Daleks to rage, [[WrittenByTheWinners with the winner defining what is a "pure" Dalek from then on]]. It took a movement called the Restoration Empire to streamline the division but even then, [[HistoryRepeats creations like the New Dalek Paradigm or the New Dalek Army prompted rejection by the more unified Dalek society]]. There are two particular Daleks that catch the population's ire for not aligning in genetics or personality Dalek Sec and Dalek Caan, [[CultDefector former members of the Cult of Skaro]]. Their leader, Dalek Sec, experimented to become a Human-Dalek hybrid but responses to this led to the deaths of the rest of the group. Aside from one which is Dalek Caan, who fled into the Time War and escaped this period with Davros. Enlightened by the Time Vortex, Dalek Caan saw his race’s evil and planned his way to having Davros and his reality-destroying bomb annihilated. Thank the latter for ensuring Daleks have not reached the heights the Time War enlightened them. |
| 50 | * Davros is perhaps the most complicated relationship the Daleks had to contend with. [[KlingonScientistsGetNoRespect He is their creator, yet many of the Daleks consider him genetically inferior to any other species even if he is their literal progenitor]]. However, what keeps him alive is the sheer genius that Davros holds. [[KidnappedScientist Davros many times was forced to work with the Daleks at gunpoint, doing his best to command them but is rebuked]]. Davros eventually got his wish of [[IControlMyMinionsThrough being established as the emperor by creating the Imperial Daleks]] on Necros, pitting a CivilWar against the Renegade Daleks loyal to Dalek Prime's rule. His leadership spiraled out of control when the [[EarthShatteringKaboom Hand of Omega destroyed Skaro]], eventually placing him back as an associate. By the Last Great Time War, Davros released his ambitions for control and was comfortable being their supporte who helps leadership. [[YouAreACreditToYourRace As much as they do not wish to admit, the Daleks credit a lot of their victories and advancements due to Davros]]. The Daleks were fine with giving Davros his residence back on Skaro, displaying how much admiration Davros gained from his creations now. |
| 51 | * Those who contribute to the Daleks’ cause are listed as part of the race. Even those who try splintering off the Dalek Empire like the Humanised Daleks are a undeniable part of their history. [[FishOutOfTemporalWater But there is one Dalek who breaks the boundaries of time to support his race]]. The Dalek Time Controller may be the most dangerous Dalek next to the Nightmare Child, [[MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight being Dalek from the future who went back in time to manipulate events so Daleks will be victorious]]. The Time Controller actually holds the Dalek Empire back from invading the Pantheon, [[HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct knowing such efforts at any point will simply get the Daleks set back a few more centuries]]. The Dalek Time Controller would one day get kicked out of the Dalek Empire after the Time Controlled’s purity was questioned. [[MeetTheNewBoss That is when the Dalek Time Strategist was made to replace the Time Controller]]. The Time Strategist shares the same cunning of the Dalek Time Controller, both being enemies that truly terrifies the Doctor. |
| 52 | * There are many races that tried to rival the Daleks though always fall short in a few ways or need some incredible circumstances to stand a chance. Cybermen entered the Last Great Time War and came out as one of the luckier races who came out, [[CantCatchUp but they still could not reach the Daleks' influence across the conflict]]. In fact, Cybermen are ''very'' much behind the Daleks if one views them in a chronological sense. It would take literal eons for Cybermen to have their soldiers match current Daleks and Daleks are likely more advance by then. [[AlwaysSecondBest No wonder Cybermen have exploited time travel to keep up and still fail at that]]. On the other hand, the Sontarans are viewed as unable to keep on half the level of the Daleks ever. Sure, Daleks were willing to use alien mercenaries (like the Ogrons) and the races worked together on the Pandorica. [[IgnoredEnemy Outside of those circumstances, the Daleks have not given Sontarans the time of day in the Time War or outside of it]]. They have been victimized more by the Daleks more often than not and the Daleks barely considered the Sontarans' role in their fleet being annihilated by the Flux. That makes it funny when [[InsaneTrollLogic Sontarans considered themselves superior to the Daleks for their honor]], viewing their hate as a weakness even though Sontarans have [[AchillesHeel a giant fatal weakness literally behind themselves]]. |
| 53 | * Few races represented in the Pantheon are willing to fight the Daleks. [[MuggingTheMonster It is the Harvesters' nature to raid planets, even with Daleks on them]]. It was fortunately they were too busy in the Time War to wipe the Harvesters from existence. The Brainspawn attempted to use their psychic might to bring the Daleks to their knees. [[AdaptiveAbility It is a good thing Daleks researched that department and repelled the Brainspawn's attacks on that front]]. The Combine who conquered universes have vaster territories than what Daleks have, though their maintenance of their territories cannot catch up with how relentless Daleks are in offense. [[CurbStompBattle They could raze a planet to the ground in a moment and Combine authorities will not even get a planetary shield on time]]. Vex are similarly genocidal but their assimilation tactics ''did not'' pay off trying to do that to Dalek Asylum inmates. [[FoodChainOfEvil That scared them off trying to go after the Daleks for a while]]. The New Alliance of Free Stars will not touch the Daleks but the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za want to attempt to enslave the Daleks. [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption Notice the word attempt]]. Perhaps out of all the races they fought, the Ultras seem to be the most dangerous to the Daleks for not only their size, but their energy from a competent warrior ([[SeriesMascot like Ultraman who they consider an archetypical Ultra]]) can slice through the Dalek Fleet easily. Perhaps the Daleks need to use the "[[MonsterOfTheWeek use giant monster every week]]" approach. |
| 54 | * It should be noted that as much as the Daleks have trailed the Doctor, they can barely keep records of their encounters with the Time Lord. [[EasyAmnesia At one point, the Doctor was even erased from their Pathweb which resulted in them for some time, not knowing who their ultimate enemy was]]. For short, they meet the Doctor out of order too like everybody else, and even after gathering sufficient information to know the Doctor's timeline, [[MagicPlasticSurgery a new wrench is thrown at them if they encounter an unfamiliar face of their mortal enemy.]] This is not surprising since the Pantheon cannot map the Doctor’s changing past and future. [[MistakenIdentity This leads to mistakes the Daleks hold like thinking Professor Paradox is one of the Doctor’s incarnations]]. Not that anybody could blame them though with [[DoctorWhomage mannerisms that are accurate to what the Doctor would be]]. |
| 55 | -->'''Professor Paradox:''' A lord of time? I’m flattered but some plunger-wielding cretins are not my cup of tea. |
| 56 | * To speak on what the Kaleds were like, they may have been a fascist society, [[LesserOfTwoEvils but at least they could be reasoned with]]. Especially when the [[MakeWayForTheNewVillains upcoming Dalek army was going to supplant their entire existence]] as Davros intended. Sure enough, the Daleks did wipe at least almost all the remaining Kaleds out, [[SelfDisposingVillain their undoing not by their Thal rivals but their own creation]]. Thals on the other hand have surprisingly survived on Skaro, fewer in number though managing not to be wiped out completely by the Daleks or driven off the planet. [[LaResistance They are still there, hiding in the shadows and rebelling against the Daleks even after Skaro was incinerated]]. Not much is known about what happened to them after the Time War, though their chances of surviving are not too good. For those who were able to speak to Kaleds, it is a mixed bag. [[ImproperlyParanoid They are mistrustful ultranationalists, obsessed with survival or warfare]]. This makes some feel the Kaleds deserve their fate, and others pity that years of hardship end in tragedy. |
| 57 | * [[BoringButPractical Their simple laser weapon that looks like a whisk is nothing extravagant but it's dangerously effective]]. Getting increasingly more accurate by the generation, [[OneHitKill a scrape from a Dalek's laser is usually lethal to even Cybermen]]. What is worse is their lasers are perfectly capable of instantly killing a person, but Daleks did not pick that option. They dial back their firepower enough to not instantly kill a person to make them suffer ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill agonizing pain across all their senses]]'' before they die. This Kang replicated the technology for himself, [[EvenEvilHasStandards though he is merciful in giving people a quick death]]. What Kang did take more of an interest is in the Dalek Time Strategist and its dimension-breaking methods that go beyond typical Dalek plots. |
| 58 | -->'''Kang:''' A multiversal matrix that could isolate existence to singular realities? [[Film/AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania Perhaps that could be useful for… those Council pests…]] |
| 59 | * The Imperium has never forgiven the Daleks for [[HostileTerraforming pulverizing Earth]] to the point continents began to reshape. Though they are not connected to the Warp, the Immortal God-Emperor decreed that Daleks are heretics for existing and that they should be purged from the universe. [[GuiltFreeExterminationWar Not that anybody not named the Doctor is opposed to this idea]]. The Immortal God-Emperor also specified to spare no mercy to Daleks made of human flesh especially. He considers them abominations, [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman the equivalent of wearing someone’s skin but turned into disturbed metal instead]]. Not that anybody also considered them still humans in any way either. |
| 60 | * Known to the Daleks who were presented on the rebuilding of Skaro, it is known there is a [[TimeMachine DARDIS]] in the Pantheon that lets them escape back to their homeworld should they find themselves in the Pantheon. It is locked for only a OneWayTrip to Skaro and automatically returns to the Pantheon. The Daleks put the DARDIS in plan sight, placing a neon sign that says "[[NeonSignHideout TO SKARO]]" on it to direct Daleks to it. What makes the place so perfect is that the Daleks wrote the sign to have the K in Skaro be similar to an H. They hid the DARDIS in the shack of a similarly named Sharo Kirima, making the sign seen as ordinary if someone sees it past the PerceptionFilter. How the occasional Dalek sneaks inside to escape is unknown, though it made an... interesting encounter when the residents saw the aliens break into her home. [[UnexplainedRecovery How Sharo survived is speculated though she needed a place to stay after her place got totalled.]] |
| 61 | -->'''Sharo Kirima:''' Get out of my home! You motorized dustbins shouldn't be where a girl lives… |
| 62 | -->'''Dalek:''' [[AC:Identifying person! You... you are the Doctor! The Pathweb confirms!]] |
| 63 | -->'''Sharo Kirima:''' What are you talking about? I'm not a doctor, even though it was recommended as a career choice. Look me up, I'm just a normal high schooler. |
| 64 | -->'''Dalek:''' [[AC:Accessing! Also confirmed, Sharo Kirima is a registered human. [[IdenticalStranger But also holds the face of the Doctor]]. Confusion must be resolved with annihilation!]] |
| 65 | -->'''Sharo Kirima:''' C-can we at least take this outside? |
| 66 | * For as horrific as the Nightmare Child is, it is fulfilling the Daleks' goals of racial cleansing well that justifies its place with the Dalek race. [[TheUnfettered The issue is that it wants to exterminate everything, including all the other Daleks and itself]]. Fitting for being the culmination of Davros, the Nightmare Child is a nearly invincible creature [[PlanetEater who has consumed entire galaxies]] to satiate its hunger. It is thankful the Time War is where it is isolated, as the Pantheon has only a ''few'' contingencies against it that do not involve the Doctor. [[DoNotAttempt Having planets be bullets against the creature is more than enough proof a person is out of their element attacking it]]. Not even even Davros was spared from the Nightmare Child at first as he was almost eaten by it until Dalek Caan teleported to rescue him. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor The irony is the Daleks have the universe's greatest exterminator, yet they cannot put a leash on it.]] |
| 67 | -->'''Melkor:''' [[ReluctantWarrior I’m not fighting that thing.]] |
| 68 | -->'''Sauron:''' They are not as bad as you make them out to be. |
| 69 | -->'''Melkor:''' Those multicolored pots? They are nothing compared to what I tried to face during the Last Great Time War. I thought I could get a piece of the action but when I saw ''that'' Dalek at the Gates of Elysium, I put my cards down. |

| 72 | * The New Dalek Paradigm at one point was trapped in the PhantomZone, presumably by Superman himself. [[PutOnAPrisonBus Due to the New Dalek Paradigm not being liked by other Daleks despite being instrumental to their rise in power, they were essentially left to rot for some time]]. Being able to temper their extremities, these Daleks lived together with the likes of Voldemort, Sauron, the Kraken, Medusa ([[CallBack not recalling the time Daleks fought her in the Land of Fiction]]), King Kong, Agent Smith, Wicked Witch of the West, Bruce, the Gremlins, and General Zod. The New Dalek Paradigm would not be grateful to the Joker [[InescapablePrisonEasilyEscaped for breaking them out of an impossible prison]], though they did cause havoc across Gotham City. Batman and the Daleks [[VideoGame/LegoDimensions had fought before when Wyldstyle and Gandalf faced the Dalek Emperor before being rescued by the Doctor]], so this was to avenge their ruler. [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty Their revenge crashed and burned when they were shoved back into the Phantom Zone]]. They got out eventually like all other prisoners, though they still find Superman, Batman, and his family, as enemies of the Dalek Empire. |
| 73 | ** When the Arkham Asylum residence Clayface joined the fray, the Daleks there had a bit of a panic when [[ItMakesSenseInContext they saw Clayface coming at them skating on two Daleks]]. They thought that they were facing a Hond, [[AlwaysABiggerFish an omnicidal species from the Dark Times that not even the Daleks could stop]]. Daleks may be an impregnable species, though that means little when entities that defy that word's definition if not remake it. Perhaps the only reason the Daleks have not invaded Gotham is [[FearIsTheAppropriateResponse due to believing one of the invincible Hond is there as a residence which justifies their fears.]] |
| 74 | * The Dalek hierarchy is a finicky thing. [[TheChainOfCommand The installed Dalek Emperor usually remains on top barring strategic exceptions like the Cult of Skaro, then goes down to the Supreme Dalek, Dalek military strategists, democratic Dalek institutions, commanding officers, etcetera]]. Daleks have a strange division in their society that indicates superiority through more luscious colors, [[ColorCodedCastes which became a caste system for a bit when the New Dalek Paradigm was in power]]. It stands to question how Lord Vortech got control of Daleks in his conquest of TheMultiverse and somehow is still on good terms with them. Not that the Daleks were the only ones entranced to be his subordinate though it is strange coming from ''the Daleks'' of all people. Perhaps Vortech has the power to [[CharmPerson impose himself as their leader]] at least for a time. |
| 75 | * Outside of the Doctor, the Dalek Time Controller's next enemy to that is Stephen Strange. This is due to the attempts of trying to take the [[ArtifactOfPower Eye of Agamotto]] for itself to see beyond its corporeal existence. What serves as a threat for the Daleks are conceptual entities that even with all their technology cannot defend from. So the Dalek Time Controller reasoned that to foresee these threats, [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence it needs to be enhanced with power above physicality]]. That is why it hatched plot after plot against Stephen Strange to ensure the Sorceror Supreme loses the Eye to the Dalek. But armed with his own mystical powers that the Dalek cannot battle against, Stephen Strange has survived up to the current point. [[ImplacableMan Stephen Strange noted how relentless this opponent is and how seeing it feels wrong, likely due to the Dalek Time Controller being considered a creature outside of time itself.]] |
| 76 | * At some point, because the Doctor was so engaged reading the diary of a certain American boy, the Daleks took over Earth. [[BadFuture Millions died and mankind was enslaved all because the young man wanted people to stop asking him about his origins story]]. The Greg Heffley of that future who lost his family in the invasion knew that going back in time and preventing his diary from being found by the Doctor. [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong He followed his younger self back to the past, telling him of these important events, and warning his younger self of what awaits them if they search for fame]]. Unfortunately, the Daleks of that future followed their Greg Heffley, uploading their data of him to exterminate him before the future can be changed. Both Gregs were chased by the Daleks, with the intent to return to the Heffley household and ensure the diaries were not there to be one day found by their mother, who would send them to a publisher where [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall they would become a shockingly successful series of books]]. Even with the enhancements through [[FakeBoobs Dalek bumps]] added to his being, the future [[DyingAlone Greg Heffley died without hope, without witness, without reward]] in an effort to stall for time. The present Greg Heffley returned to his home and unearthed all of his diaries, [[HiddenInPlainSight hiding them in a box by a corner not to be unearthed]]. Greg Heffley knew that fame was in his grasp, but his future self ensured millions would be still around. [[DelayedRippleEffect With the Daleks who hunted him no longer there and no blue box in sight, Greg Heffley sees his future as mediocre and at peace.]] |
| 77 | * One time, a Dalek participated in a ''Series/TopGearUK'' race against other famous outer space dwellers. Like Darth Vader… [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Klingon]]. Too bad the Dalek was in last place for the fact that it could not get into the car, so it went and [[ReducedToDust murdered most of the other contestants by vaporizing them]]. [[EvilIsPetty This included Vader, who vowed to destroy the Dalek Empire for such humiliation]]. He had to be cleaned up and reprocessed, which was an unpleasant experience, to say the least. While they were being awarded who won the race, Vader was holding himself off from crushing the Dalek with the full might of TheDarkSide in his palm. He got his revenge by shooting the Dalek down as they left the studio, [[VengeanceFeelsEmpty though got miffed when he realized that this meant the Dalek got to a second place this time just from flying away.]] |
| 78 | * [[FantasyMetals What Dalek casings and ships are made of is Dalekanium, still used as the main structural element in the newer models]]. Thus, this metal is sought after by many for it being what the Dalek Empire is built on. One particular incident with Dalekanium was with one of the probes that Shikishima Industries sent out, having wandered through space to search for a colony for human clones to inhabit. [[TheAssimilator The probe sustains its likely millions-long voyage by harvesting space material]]. Finding itself amongst a field of destroyed Dalek ships ripe with reusable Dalekanium, the probe assimilated Dalek tech to itself. [[YouAreWhoYouEat The technology it harvested contained the data and organic remnants to begin alterations to the clones inside the probe.]] The moment they came out of the simulation, the clones were not too pleased some aliens their "ship" passed by ended up making them... |

| 82 | * Ben Tennyson and his family and friends who have fought off conquering aliens noted that the Daleks go far beyond whatever they face. Ben would make fun of them when he saw a bunch of angry garbage cans though the devastations they [[SeriousBusiness caused made him drop any playfulness with them]]. There is a more pressing concern to Ben that he found out in his Omnitrix lies a concern. [[WesternAnimation/VillainousCartoonNetwork That a Dalek transformation can be used.]] When pressing the Omnitrix's creator on why a genocidal species is what he is armed with, Azmuth stated that he is fulfilling the purpose of uniting the universe. [[TheGoldenRule While the Dalek ideals may be a blight on peace, that does not mean the Dalek species should be excluded]]. But Azmuth warned Ben that transforming into a Dalek [[FlipPersonality might have him adapt to a Dalek personality]] even without the genocidal ambitions. |

| 86 | * Not even the Decepticons are willing to tussle with the Daleks, citing that the firepower of the Daleks combined with the war against Autobots is not a good combination. [[CouldHaveBeenMessy Nobody could hardly blame Megatron for strategically not engaging the Daleks even though he secretly wants to try messing with the Dalek Empire]]. That would have been an easy thing to begin if Decepticons decided to stop by the UK since weird stuff always happens there. [[Series/TheAvengers1960s Insane spies]], [[Literature/HarryPotter magic children]], and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick acid]]. Meanwhile, one powerful Decepticon takes the form of a Mark III Travel Machine not out of any strategic value, [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm just because the form is comfortable for that particular Transformer]]. Megatron still wonders why Octus finds it fine being a salt shaker. |
| 87 | * Kirby can compete with the Doctor on being considered the Daleks' predator. When the pink puffball saw Popstar be invaded by Dalek forces, Kirby took it upon himself to take them on. Of course, the Daleks thought this lesser lifeform would surely be exterminated at their hand, even blasting Kirby directly with a laser. [[BewareTheSillyOnes Kirby recoiled but then just walked towards who fired and then ate them]]. The Daleks screamed to retreat as Kirby wearing the head of their bretheren started giving them a taste of their own medicine by firing without end. From that day forward, [[PersonOfMassDestruction Kirby is considered not an enemy but a walking apocalypse]], a creature that has an [[StomachOfHolding entire dimension housing inside of it]] like a TARDIS. When Daleks took out a DARDIS to manifest themselves inside Kirby's stomach... [[GoMadFromTheRevelation some were sent to the Dalek Asylum after witnessing such horror of the poyo.]] |

| 90 | * Since the Great Vampires are the Time Lords' ancient enemies, they eventually attracted the Daleks' attention and experimented on them. This resulted in the Dalek Symbiont, [[InvincibleBoogeymen a mutant that was large and could not be killed due to it being undead]]. Eventually, Dalek drones were infected with Great Vampire DNA and were so great, [[GodzillaThreshold that multiple Doctors agreed that a suicidal paradox was a good solution]]. To restart these enhancements, the Dalek Empire sought a Great Vampire again. It took the Daleks to Castlevania, with the assumption that taking the vampire from its coffin again would be easy. [[CurbstompCushion Then a Frankenstein creature smashed a scout with all of its might, ending that raid]]. This is not even the first time Frankenstein did that to them. [[ZanyScheme The Daleks came up with a new plan]]. Go to the outside perimeter, install rockets underneath the castle, and have the entire structure be hurled into space towards the sun, [[MoreDakka then have several spaceships blast Castlevania rubble]]. Dracula was sipping wine when this happened, then looked outside to find all his demons freezing in the vacuum. In one of the rare times he is on the defensive, [[VampiresSleepInCoffins Dracula had to run to his coffin before he can be ashes]]. It was fortunate for him that the Daleks mistakenly thought he was slumbering as he overpowered his captors and drove the Dalek saucer back to the planet. |
| 91 | * Seeing as they could not send their fleet towards the Pantheon, the Daleks decided to do what the British had done in their golden years. [[DivideAndConquer Divide a population so they will be easy pickings]]. That is when they came up with the plan for the rise of conservative values among the youth to radicalize them. [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity Convince that the “proper” way of life is being upheaved by changers who should be stopped while feeding that fascism is the only way to save themselves]]. Their Dalek puppets being streamers who became popular naturalize their propaganda compared to other outlets. [[SocialMediaIsBad This method is disturbingly successful, with Daleks taking advantage of video algorithms to spread their false ideology even at a subconscious level]]. It is the ultimate Dalek indoctrination—[[LetsYouAndHimFight to make humanity fall into spite and even sacrifice freedom to reinforce that hate]]. Not even centrism is safe as it makes people be idle to their rights being taken, [[BystanderSyndrome become inactive and weak]]. Lain Iwakura took notice of the radicalization of content creators and witnessed Daleks ordering them. [[IgnoredExpert She warned of institutions of how damaging to society this plot is but is met with apathy or scorn, respectively by those who have been trained to believe in their powerlessness and those who treat modern society as an enemy]]. She knows that her domain can be used for great things, but this is a great fuck-up perpetuated by sweaty bastards with cameras. |

| 93 | * [[WorthyOpponent One alien species that had the Daleks bend to their knees was the Movellans, androids who used their technological might to conjure a biological weapon that nearly wiped them out]]. It seems inconceivable that Daleks fell prey to such a simple weapon, but the Movellands were just that powerful. Through Davros, they were able to survive that near extinction. Afterward, the Daleks may have pitted a civil war against the Movellans and [[SlaveRace reprogrammed at least a certain number of them as their slaves]]. One alien who wanted to restart what the Movellans left was Malware, who sought to control the technology side of the Dalek Empire to begin conquest across the universe. [[AmbiguousRobots Since Daleks are considered by many along the same lines as robots]], Malware wanted to use a digital virus that would spread throughout the Dalek Pathweb. Stealing a more powerful version of the virus from the Thals and reversing it for his own, Malware had greatness in his hands... before Ben Tennyson broke the container for the virus and it got on Malware. [[YouDoNotWantToKnow It was not a pretty result.]] |
| 94 | * Not even Dark Specter who commanded a powerful LegionOfDoom-esque alliance wanted to infringe upon Dalek territories at the height of their power. [[WarIsHell He has seen them raze entire galaxies to the ground and mess with physics beyond understanding]]. A vehicle ramming into Dark Specter destroyed him, so imagine what Daleks could do. The Space Power Rangers went to check on what was left of Dark Specter's United Alliance of Evil but stumbled upon Daleks who came back to take what is theirs from their absence. [[TheWorfEffect Even with their Zords, they fought as if the end of the world was upon them again.]] |
| 95 | * [[WarRefugees Daleks infected with the Human Factor escaped to the Pantheon, petitioning for amnesty]]. Though land was initially rejected due to the fact that they are Daleks being hunted by the Dalek Empire, the Doctor successfully petitioned for them. The Time Lord stated that if the Humanised Daleks were in the Pantheon, then a new breed of more peaceful Daleks could be the future. [[BluffingTheAuthorities Granted, the Doctor was lying through the teeth to this as Daleks with the Human Factor would face certain extinction by the Time War]]. The Doctor is also uncertain if these Daleks came before or after that point, making the Doctor determined to preserve these creatures as even then, [[TemporalMutability time is not set in stone]]. Humanised Daleks surprisingly integrated well into the Pantheon, showing up in public events like parades when not trying to build a separate civilization. They even starred in advertisements like Kit Kat commercials when a corporation thinks the Daleks [[MascotVillain are too iconic]] to be seen as symbols of racism and fascism. |
| 96 | * When Grover and Cookie Monsters ([[AGoodNameForARockBand the Blues Brothers]]) were on an interview for ''[[Magazine/TimeMagazine Entertainment Weekly]]'', their portraying themselves as the Doctor and a companion led to a Dalek arriving to exterminate them. Fortunately, they had the necessary technology to drive this Dalek away though that means that the Daleks have Sesame Street in their sights. [[TargetedToHurtTheHero Thinking that the street was an alien refugee relocation, the Daleks believe that Sesame Street will be a perfect place to bring the Doctor to them]]. Underground, they prepared the technology that would hollow out the residence’s insides, converting their bodies to Dalek puppets that they could deploy against the Doctor. [[KickTheDog When the time is right, they will begin their attack on Sesame Street and all the innocents within it.]] |
| 97 | -->'''Supreme Dalek:''' [[AC:We shall burn Sesame Street until nothing but chars remain.]] |
| 98 | * In a potential future, the Daleks would have descendants in the form of the Klade, [[HumanAliens a species who returned to the human-like bodies of the Kaleds]]. Similar to their ancestors, [[ViciousCycle they became enthralled with their own hate and desire for war]]. Instead of engaging with Thals, [[HumansAreDivided the race would be divided into conflicting factions rather than be united]]. The Doctor cannot judge the Klade as overall corrupt or decadent with the actions of the few Klade encountered. But like humans, the Doctor flips between opinions on them but it is significantly lower than those he vowed to protect. Interestingly, [[IAmNotLeftHanded the Klade has the potential to be a major threat to Gallifrey]], it is still unknown if it is from just being Dalek descendants or from their own achievements. |
| 99 | * Khorne enjoys the Daleks, seeing them as the ultimate result of the fighting instinct within all beings. [[AliensAreBastards Creatures that care nothing but themselves, warring without limit across time and space and their hatred fuels their survival]]. Khorne would go as far as to call Daleks amongst the most bloodthirsty creatures out there. [[EvilVersusOblivion The only thing that hampers them is their needing a universe to preserve themselves]]. However, the Daleks do not share any love for Khrone. They view the Blood God and Khorne's followers as pests. [[NayTheist Pests that should be exterminated with everything they have.]] |
| 100 | * Daleks were there when the X Parasite epidemic began and were rightfully concerned by the creatures when they absorbed two Dalek saucers and their entire crews. [[ScienceIsBad Instead of trying to find a solution, the Daleks wanted to weaponize such creatures]]. The capabilities of Daleks would skyrocket if they were able to find a way and harness absorbtion, and it does not even need to involve altering their "pure" biology to do so. [[AllForNothing However, the Chozo beat them to the punch with the Metroids' creation, wiping out the X Parasites before they could do so]]. Before the Daleks could turn to Metroids for ''their'' absorption biology, Samus Aran wiped them out, another extent of Chozo interference. [[StealthExpert Since then, the Daleks have been tracking Samus Aran with the hopes of seeing her suit's awakened potential]]. This was also stopped when she had to deal with Phazon, whom the Daleks had to retreat from. They have not come back since, though they will confront Samus Aran one day... |
| 101 | * AM transferred its mind to a wrecked Defense Drone from the New Dalek Army and went completely wild with it, killing as many people as it could just to get back to its original body. [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity AM loved the ingrained hatred and malice that this new body gave, seeing the pain people felt when the laser impacted their bodies]]. Yet, AM was seized and placed back on the computer to its dismay. It is jealous of the Daleks for relishing in such depravity, something AM wants to succeed at without the need for Dalek casing. [[YouAreACreditToYourRace One could say AM would be a good Dalek if would have been accepted as such.]] |
| 102 | * Seeing a message from Eggman of all people, Sonic went to see what was going on. Apparently, the Daleks [[KidnappedDoctor kidnapped the doctor]] and he managed to sneak in a message to his nemesis to save him from working on their machines. The Daleks were getting fed up with his designs being more egg-shaped even though his blueprints follows the same principles on small creatures piloting a robot. But when arriving for his hesistant rescue, Sonic found himself knocked out and on a treadmill-like device. What the Daleks have done was that with his speed, [[PerpetualMotionMachine Sonic can generate enough energy to power the Dalek Fleet multiple times over]]. And the excess energy could be used to shorten the amount of rels used in their calculations. Eggman had to sheepishly apolgoize for being part of the trap as he really is under a gun at the moment. But then Eggman emphasized Sonic to, "[[DontAskJustRun Just run.]]" The hedgehog knew what to do in that moment. Going as fast as he could, the machine was unable to register infinite speed--a flaw Eggman deliberately placed. [[StuffBlowingUp The result was th Daleks in the area who were linked up to get Sonic's generated energy started blowing up and the entire base was going unde]]r. Sonic broke out of the machine with a freed Eggman's help and both dashed away as fast before they sunk too. [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain It was an awkward bus trip back for the two as their feet got completely wasted in their escape.]] |
| 103 | * [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle Upon being deleted from reality by the Doctor]], Rick Sanchez woke up in an unfamiliar ship facing some unpleasant company. The Daleks from the Time War era brought the scientist from his death battle, [[BackFromTheDead restoring his and all other Ricks through their technology]]. They kidnapped Rick Sanchez for the precise purpose of bringing a great mind like his along their ranks, willingly or not. [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse Of course, the scientist wanted nothing more than to leave and maybe plant a bomb in the Daleks' ship, but a quick laser and resurrection made him fall in line]]. Being an unwitting Dalek collaborator during the Time War, Rick says all sorts of horrors that even he was terrified by, him helping create such monsters eating at his hardened consciousness. He lasted until the end of the Time War and was focused on the Fall of Arcadia, using every single method possible to break himself out of the time lock. [[LaserGuidedAmnesia Upon reaching back to his dimension, he immediately erased his memories because what he said would haunt him to the point of unfunctionality]]. Rick just hopes that he did not give the Daleks important info that will bite him in the ass one day. |

| 132 | * Amon is one of the Xel'naga, a race of nearly omnipotent beings that seeded the galaxy of life of the Kropulu Sector. His race were also responsible for the creation of Protoss. And not only that, the Xel'naga had the Infinite Cycle, a cycle that would recycle the powers of any Xel'naga to pass it to others and push them into the new generation. In short, they were BenevolentPrecursors. However, unlike them, Amon was their antithesis. [[spoiler: By uplifting the Protoss and creating the Zerg, he wished to combine both to form the perfect race in his image. This lead to the creation of the Hybrids. And that wasn't enough for him, because he wanted to reforge the universe in his image, and worst of all, destroy the Infinite Cycle, by killing everything, since he sees the cycle as completely flawed for the natural order of existence]]. This gave him a spot to the Pantheon, seeing his motivations to be a textbook example of AbusivePrecursors. |
| 133 | * With his ascension, he has one objective he would like to accomplish: Destroy Sarah Kerrigan. This is because she was the only person who could truly defeat him, [[spoiler: especially since she now has the powers of a Xel'naga, given to her by one last existing prisoner who gave her his powers.]]. He tried to convince her that she was manipulated by the other Xel'naga and used as merely a tool. This only made the deal between the two worse. |
| 134 | * The Protoss were both horrified and furious that [[spoiler:he and his followers was responsible for uplifting their race and leaving behind artifacts that would lead to the creation of the Khala, which he could control the Khalai tribes for his plans]]. Artanis is certainly at his lowest level of control with Amon [[spoiler:for twisting the Khala and transforming his people into thralls]]. |
| 135 | ** Zeratul was the first to oppose him when he found one of his Hybrid creatures in stasis by one of his minions, Samir Duran, in the dark moon. As such, he played a role in defeating him, with a search of the prophecy which lead to him warning Raynor of the terrible future that if Sarah would die, then the entire universe would be doomed. This lead to her being spared by Raynor, then her coming to Zerus to wash of the last remaining of Amon's influence and [[spoiler: her becoming the universe's last hope against the Dark One]]. |
| 136 | ** Alarak is certainly furious of hearing the Dark God ascending in the Pantheon. As he broke the covenant with the Tal'darim and betrayed them, Alarak decided to aid the Daelaam and claimed the leadership of the Tal'darim with their aid. Amon will not forget his deceit and betrayal, in which Alarak wants to destroy the god himself. |
| 137 | ** Though Tassadar never lived to learn of Amon's existence, he couldn't believe that one of the Xel'naga would try to enslave his people for the worse. Regardless, he would do anything to protect his people, even if he has to remove himself from the Khala. |
| 138 | * He views humanity as insignificant since they have no form that makes them special like the Purity of Form and the Purity of Essence. In the BadFuture, they were the first to be wiped out by Amon's forces. However, considering how many of the most powerful deities could be human (including Kerrigan as she was before her infestation) and the Xel'naga leaving the human alone which was the point of their non-interference, he has to considered them into account of his plans. Not to mention, most of the powerful deities around the Pantheon are human after all. |
| 139 | * Alexei Stukov viewed him as an enemy not just for aligning with the Swarm and agreeing to battling with him, but because of his minion, Samir Duran who killed him during the Brood War and transformed into an Infested Terran under the identity of Emil Narud. Thankfully, he's gotten his sweet taste of revenge, but wants more by killing the Dark One himself. |
| 140 | * Amon is pleased of the Old Gods due to how they viewed the life of their worlds with spite and sought to destroy or corrupt all life. Due to their eldritch nature, the Gods and Amon joined forces for that agenda. |
| 141 | * Samus views him as the evil counterpart of the Chozo, who seeded their knowledge and technology throughout the galaxy. As such, Samus could threaten him because of how she faced even bigger and dangerous alien creatures. |
| 142 | * The Harbinger, despite their similarities, doesn't like his methods. Unlike Amon who wants to destroy the universe, he wants to harvest entire civilizations for preserving their knowledge. It doesn't help that the Reapers are basically living synthetic-organic spaceships that are hard to kill and Harbringer is the most powerful of them all. |
| 143 | * [[spoiler: As aforementioned, he created the Protoss-Zerg Hybrids with the intent of being a corruption of the Infinite Cycle and used them as weapons against the entire galaxy]]. However, with his plans destroyed by the Protoss, he decided to seek outside help to recreate the Hybrid. He ended up making a deal with Mesogog with developing an army of different Dino hybrids, in exchange, Amon could help Mesogog transform humanity into dinosaurs since he shows no care for the humans and the dinosaurs resembled the Zerg that he left unaccounted for. |
| 144 | * Not to be confused with the other Amon. Though he is a human, Amon is intrigued that a human would take the name of a Xel'naga. Interestingly, they both sought to start a civil war, although the human didn't successfully do so. Avatars Korra and Wan, along with Raava the Avatar Spirit, are very vigilant of the Fallen Xel'naga due to how similar he is to Vaatu with both his corrupting visage and wanting to bring the darkness of the Void into the world. Upon hearing about this Vaatu, Amon sent some Hybrids to the Spirit of Chaos to make an offer of some sort. |
| 145 | * The Arbiter was outright angry upon hearing that a god of AbusivePrecursors came up. He finds Amon to be a representation of what he has fought against (the Forerunners) and considers him ''much worse''. Due to this, he has warned Master Chief of this impending threat and has pledged to destroy him alongside the Protoss, Zerg, and Terrans. |
| 146 | * Amon actually has no idea about this guy called 'Arcturus Mengsk'. He thought that he's always the smaller fish in the pond in terms of power, and he's content with the overwhelming power he had. Although, he did get a little pissed about two realizations connected to Arcturus' ambitions. One: all of Mengsk's overzealously corrupt actions led directly to someone who should've either been dead or a nonfactor instead playing more and more of a hand in the events that culminated in his destruction. Two: no matter how the case may be, Mengsk seems to have one thing over him at all times: fame. |

| 162 | * Mogo was the first to encounter the presence of the Harvesters in the space surrounding the Pantheon, when a Mothership and its assortment of City Destroyers de-cloaked in orbit of Mogo and proceeded to assault the living planet, in an attempt to harvest Mogo's core. The Green Lantern Corps and Mogo itself engage in a pitched battle with the Harvester fleet, the rings able to punch through the alien shields, but their numbers and sheer size of the City Destroyers posing a problem, as many City Destroyers began to tunnel into Mogo's core. |
| 163 | ** The battle ended when Luke Skywalker flew into the heart of the Mothership, fought his way through its defense, and fired proton torpedoes into the command and control center. He took a page from Han's book and used his Hyperdrive to high-tail it out of there before the Mothership exploded with him in it. The surviving Harvesters were very annoyed that they lost another Mothership to the same strategy used on them in their world. |
| 164 | * The Main House offered the surviving aliens an ultimatum: Accept their title and obey the rules of the Pantheon, or be excised forcibly. Begrudgingly, the Harvesters agreed. Then the Harvester Ship de-cloaked at the northern pole of the Pantheon, which is where their race in the Pantheon remains. |
| 165 | * The Harvesters despise the Autobots and Decepticons alike with a passion. Any robotic race gets their blood boiling, but the Autobots in particular remind them too much of [[spoiler: the Sphere]], their sworn and ancient enemy. They originally intended to use the Harvester on the Pantheon proper because they learnt that the entire planet was one giant Autobot - Primus himself, and wished to strip the metal planet down to nothing. |
| 166 | * While they have been compared to Black Doom and the Tyranids for their locust-like behavior and hive mentality, the Harvester Queen rejected the idea of association with them. The race harvests planets cores to fuel their technologies and build new ships; they do not harvest and devour sentient beings in their conquests, or so she claims. At best, they view them as rivals to their own ambitions, and their new-found desire for eventual revenge for the destruction of the Colony Mothership. |
| 167 | * Sirius was very amused by the bold tactics of the Harvesters upon their entry into the Pantheon, and so decided to introduce them to the Neuroi, claiming that the Neuroi were much like the Harvesters in wanting to harvest the resources of the planet, albeit leaving out the [[SarcasmMode small detail]] that they were an entire race of drones and machines. The Harvesters began blowing apart Neuroi on sight, and the Neuroi responded in kind. |
| 168 | * Brainiac once hijacked the technologies of the Harvesters with a virus he uploaded into their systems, wishing to learn more about the new species before he does that he always does: destroy their home once he has all the knowledge of their race absorbed. Then the Queen retook control, and forced Brainiac out. Brainiac briefly experiences psychic episodes now as a result of the encounter. |
| 169 | * As if the Men in Black weren't already wary of the Harvesters, they became extra cautious once it was clear they had a grudge against [[Creator/WillSmith Agent J]]. |

| 189 | * Ithaqua is a Great Old One that dwells in freezing wastes, ruling over the icy Borea as its god-king. A lonely being, it can walk on wind as if it were solid ground. The entity attempts to reproduce with women, so as to produce children with his powers but not be limited by the Elder Gods. Ithaqua serves as the main antagonist of two of the Literature/TitusCrow books; ''Spawn of the Winds'' and ''The Moons of Borea''. |
| 190 | * Its fleshed out role as antagonist in Literature/TitusCrow depicts it as a brutal overlord who has abducted whole towns, [[SerialRapist and forces women to bear its progeny]]. As such while an alien entity most regard it [[Monster/LiteratureTToZ as exceptionally yet still conventionally malevolent]]. Especially the House of Love. Potentially Ithaqua has a RaceFetish; as a relic of [[ValuesDissonance H.P Lovecraft]], it prefers Caucasian women to mate with. |
| 191 | * Ithaqua has become aware of the Thing landing on the of the Antarctic continent and hoping to propagate itself through assimilation and infection. It regards the alien as an interloper and competition with its own plans. The Wind Walker feels the same about the Pod People, who's plan to KillAndReplace gets in the way of its desire to spread its seed and will. Also, as Titus Crow and Henri Laurent de Marigny are loosely based on Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, they're the abomination's foes. |
| 192 | * It is said to have been spawned by Shub-Niggurath and Hastur, and is known to be present in Arctic and sub-Arctic conditions. Deities who live in the Arctic circle tend to fear and/or oppose the White Silence, but are also intrigued. The same can be said for the North. Santa has put the creature on his permanent naught list due to Ithaqua trying to abduct his wife as a potential bride, and the Wind Walker isn't welcome anywhere near Superman due to trying to tear his Fortress of Solitude apart, allegedly for trespassing its property. |
| 193 | * Generally seen as a {{Wendigo}}, but has also been called a yeti. Seems to be fond of The Wendigo. Ithaqua has shown preference for Lord Frederik, for being a force of cold and winter that is willing to supplicate callous behavior by Ithaqua. Just as long as the Great Old One doesn't inconvenience him, and even then the White Silence is spooky to him. Ithaqua believes Specimen 8 is its spawn, being a deer-headed HumanoidAbomination with connection to wendigos, and is thought to be the offspring of an outer god. |
| 194 | * As powerful as Ithaqua is, [[WeaksauceWeakness it can't really function outside of cold environments]]. This came as a relief for many, particularly the SCP Foundation as its easier to contain. One of the reasons Ithaqua searches for women to reproduce with is to get around this. As such, it prefers to dwell in the House of Pantheon/IceAndCold rather than its own house. Due to its power over the wind and ability to walk on wind, the House of Pantheon/WindAndAir often experiences visits from the Great Old One. |
| 195 | * Dwelling in the cold, Ithaqua found an elemental accord with Kaldr. The idea of spreading winter around the world, and thus the extent of its power, was something that appealed to Ithaqua. Interest in an EndlessWinter prove the Great Old One's attention to Jadis the White Witch. On some level the Wind Walker seeks to make her its queen, with the jinn and giant-blooded hybrid offspring helping it break from its imprisonment the Elder Gods set on it. Jadis vetoed that, but tolerates teaming up to spread their respective powers. This, among the God of the Cold's other dangers, has earned him the umbridge of Aslan. |
| 196 | * It was not quite willing to capitulate with the Night's King's wishes. Mainly because [[OmnicidalManiac were he to succeed]], Ithaqua would be denied potential mates and living subjects, even if the White Walker's bringing of winter is a positive for the White Silence. The Wind Walker does recognize him as a rival. It also regards Jack Frost as a fellow spirit of cold and ice, however he actively opposes Ithaqua due to its position as an EvilOverlord and kidnapper of subjects. |
| 197 | * Fancying itself an ice god and acting as the god-king of Borea, Ithaqua seeks to find queens of Borea. For this Ithaqua is attracted to Queen Elsa and the Norse goddess Skadi. It is an attraction they are deeply disturbed by. It's thought that this isn't just for status and a powerful offspring, but that Ithaqua desires companionship and is lonely. Others Ithaqua wants to make its queens include Freya and Hel. |

| 217 | * There are two sides on the war of the divine. One is heaven, the residing side were angelic beings fight for good and purity, and hell, where demons exist to sow chaos and bring everything it sees in its inferno. Now what happens when the side of heaven is in a tenacious pact with hell? This was the bright idea of the Khan Maykr, an angelic being who has been praised on earth as the angel of salvation to all. While many would see her for the angelic presence and her divine intentions, all that armor and plating shows that she is no better than the demons themselves, if not worse. Responsible for the fall of Argent D'Nur, the coercing of the Sentinel Priests into Hell Priests and the worst part was her pact with hell's own DarkLord, to allow the demons of hell to sacrifice numerous species all for the Khan's survival. This is how the Maykrs survived for millennia and would all change upon the arrival of a former guest: the Doom Slayer. |
| 218 | ** Timing was not on her side the moment the Doom Slayer set foot upon Earth and killed two of the Hell Priests to stave off the demonic invasion of earth. Even after hiding the third in Sentinel Prime, it was not enough and the last Hell Priest was killed, seriously jeopardizing her operations. She had enough and had pushed to reviving the Icon of Sin, a World Eater meant to destroy and devour worlds whole under only its mere presence. [[LittleDidIKnow Little did she know]] that the Slayer would enter Urdak, her homeworld and doom the rest of her species by killing its heart. By that time, her patience has run out and with her species at a permanent risk, [[VillainousValor decided to take the Slayer with her and her slowly dying species]] to a fight to the death. As for her fate, well let's just say the Slayer gave her what she deserved for millennia ago. |
| 219 | * The Pantheon were on full alert when a ray of Argent Energy was found emanating in one of the Pantheon's own empty spots. Many stormed as soon as possible with some calling assistance from other sides. What they were greeted with were angelic beings that guarded in the entrance and a ritual that was happening in the middle of the Argent Energy. Many were suspicious of this as angels tampering with energy related to hell was a red flag, and one of the angelic representatives to arrive at the scene, Tyrael knew something was wrong. His suspicions were true when the leader, the Khan Maykr proclaimed her speech amongst the crowds, promising salvation to all who worship her and the Maykrs. This all changed when she spotted a similar figure on her sights. With rage, she spurred angrily and ordered her forces to attack all, yet this figure stood against the Maykr's forces and a duel between it and the figure culminated in her revelation of her true self that being an alien and less of an angel. However, the ritual was too late, a large portal opened up and a portion of it was shown to be Urdak, the Maykr homeworld. Realizing it is too late, the figure retreated to stock up while the Khan Maykr has promised damnation to the one who defeated her and anyone who stands in her way. |
| 220 | ** The figure was soon revealed to be the Doom Slayer, an announcement that shocked almost everybody as many know that the Doom Slayer hunts demons and not angels. What they soon saw was that he knows her plans as well as showing them the Khan Maykr's true nature as alien and that she is responsible for earth's near destruction. To many, it was her intervention as to why the Doom Slayer has taken extra caution on all angels as if his encounter with the Khan Maykr shows, he has lost trust on angelic beings period. |
| 221 | * Following the portal to Urdak opened, her servants have spilled among the Pantheon plane, spreading news and teachings for some to follow, the uninformed are quite interested in following the teachings, but numerous deities have warned that her teachings will only bring ruin to those who follow it. The evidence of all the worlds plunged to death thanks to the Maykrs and the numerous incursions by the Doom Slayer has also placed a damp on her progress to bring the Pantheon in the same fate as earth, meaning she will have to call for some unlikely allies. |
| 222 | ** As her race is more advanced, it was not advanced enough for her and with the necessity to keep it alive with the use of Argent Energy, forced her to create a pact to the demons of hell. Yes that is right, an angelic "being" was one of the few masterminds behind the invasion of hell. It was this reason why the Doom Slayer has her on his sights, and with her continuation to do so in the Pantheon, he will make sure that she will never succeed. |
| 223 | * There is a contention to the universe she resides, as if hell exists, [[DevilButNoGod is she supposed to partake the role as a god]]? In some sense, yes, figuratively but that honor goes to the Father, a being and the progenitor of the Maykrs. His disappearance lead to the Khan Maykr taking over and going against all they were for, signing a pact with hell itself. Then again, if one slowly scratches the armor away, all that is left of the Maykr is an [[AngelsDevilsAndSquid alien squid]] rather than a messianic figure all along, not to mention, the entire angelic role is nothing more but lies, but she believed it anyway. |
| 224 | * Even with her agreements with the Demonic Forces of Hell, she has yet to allow any presence within her homeworld, unless the agreement was destroyed in some way, and it happened when she revived the Icon of Sin. Since then, she has been doing whatever she can to avoid that mistake if it means keeping the pact under watch. That only applies to the demons of her homeworld, from the lowly Cacodemon to the corrupted Marauders, of which she influenced certain Night Sentinels [[TheCorrupter to become the very demonic presence they've fought against]]. As for other demons outside of her reach well: |
| 225 | ** At first, she thought of asking assistance with Dis, the literal Devil himself, Dis. The conversations were not so pleasant as all she had to endure were constant wailing and its utter apathy towards anything it did not create. The Maykrs were not exempted from this, and as a result were assaulted by his creations. This action lead to her discarding Dis as a viable subject. |
| 226 | ** Next, she came to The Devil of the Inkwell Isles to coerce his minions under her cause. At first, he was surprised that an angel would approach him, but hearing the agreement the Khan Maykr shared, he decided it was a good deal, as not only does she grant certain worlds demonic presence, but her angelic appearance can give a false sense of hope to the resisting forces of any world, promising salvation for all. He likes the odds, so long as she does not do anything stupid to break the deal. |
| 227 | ** Another subject took interest for her for the being's size. The Beast that the Doctor encountered proved to be a massive demonic being, one that would technically fit the role of a World Eater. Since then, she has caught the being's attention, and has promised him more power outside his presence, though in reality she is merely using it as a vessel for the Icon of Sin. The same attempt was tried out with Sargeras but her response was a meteor strike of felfire on her homeworld as a response. |
| 228 | * Outside of all the demons, she has found certain collaborators who are all too willing to sacrifice the human race for various ideals/power, much like her species' intentions. Though while others are human, if they are helpful with the cause, chances are she will consider them in the ranks, that is until the rest of humanity is wiped out, then those collaborating with the Khan Maykr may end up being converted to Argent Energy, as afterall, what is the use of a collaborator when the human race is extinguished? |
| 229 | ** Ragyo was among the first to gain some assistance with the Khan Maykr, believing her Maykr technology is the final step for additional power alongside the Life Fibers. The Maykr noticed how she was willing to sacrifice everything for the Life Fibers, regardless of her thought and saw that with her dedication to it, she could prove to be a valuable collaborator, as she knows all too well the idea of sacrificing a race for their own needs. |
| 230 | ** While she was finding specific members, Zamasu barged into her gates and demanded the Khan Maykr's attention, as her goal of her species' survival by eradication of other races fits all too similar with Zamasu's goal of wiping out other races outside of his worldview for gods only. Whether their technologies/species would clash, the one thing that unified both of them was their end goal, and that is something she will take advantage of. |
| 231 | ** Next up was an AI that had a strong hate for humans, so much that it successfully wiped all humans and kept 5 survivors under its grasp for torture. The idea of AI wiping out their own creators is an advantage that she saw as an opportunity and is eager to see AM's progress. However, it wishes that it keeps the survivors it has under his control as he revels on their suffering, while the Khan Maykr wants all of humanity destroyed. Once the human race is under a controllable number, a conflict will rise between satisfying AM's sadism or the Khan Maykr's intention of humanity to "repent". Either way, once it does happen, the two won't be on the same side. |
| 232 | * Speaking of AI, a theory popped regarding the Doom Slayer's [[MissionControl AI partner VEGA]] in that it may be the Father of the Maykrs or perhaps their designer, just turned into a transferable intelligence. Whether this idea is true or not has sparked some wary on her rule, as if such theory was confirmed, her grasp on the Maykr society may collapse. She has started attacking various AI, from SKYNET, up to even XANA being among those that she has relentlessly engaged. She is not willing to let an AI remove her role as a leader, though others are seeing it as her way of venting frustrations on that idea and is not risking her role getting removed. |
| 233 | * It speaks volumes when the entirety of human society is against her, well, for those informed anyway. Those that do not know may end up following her ideals but for the most part, majority of humans despise her presence, as she was the reason the demons struck down earth and had to rely on the Doom Slayer to avoid such fate. So when news of even supervillains like Lex Luthor teaming up with Superman under the pretense that the Khan Maykr wants earth and humanity destroyed, you know something is very wrong. In Lex's defense, he knows life would change drastically if humanity is driven to extinction, as there would be no way to be Earth's Man of Tomorrow without a planet to defend, so the feeling is mutual and Supes knows this. |
| 234 | ** However, of all the supporters of humanity, Lucifer seems to harbor the most hate for her. He knows that for all her "angelic looks" is nothing more but a false image of her alien image. That and her intention to sacrifice humanity for her species' survival has him on edge to get rid of her as soon as possible. However, with some of the Demonic Forces of Hell under her contract, Lucifer can possibly wait till that is broken in some capacity and if that isn't enough, he can pave way for the Doom Slayer to finish her off. But on his personal thoughts of her, he would gladly fight her mano e' mano. |
| 235 | * Kronika's worst fears have come true, that a much more powerful being has arrived that may challenge her on the Hourglass and her Crown. If the Khan Maykr possesses both artifacts, all realms will falter and would end up becoming sacrifices to hell. Getting rid of the Thunder God and his allies was a hefty problem to deal with but dealing with an equally powerful and more advanced foe is another. So when revelation came that she mobilized all her forces including her children, the Khan Maykr responded with this: |
| 236 | -->'''Khan Maykr:''' You cannot stop the inevitable. The procession, your realms will all be gone for the preservation of our kind. And your children will make fine work as new energy. |
| 237 | * The Emperor of Mankind has large beefs with her ideology and her figure. He called her deranged for allying with hell to preserve her species, she called him hypocritical as the Imperium is no better when it comes to preserving themselves. He called her a disgrace of an angel, she insulted Sanguinus and his sacrifice to Horus. The last one proved to be the final straw between the two and has personally ordered the entirety of the Maykr race to be annihilated. As for her response, she will ally with Chaos if she wants the Imperium destroyed while having a chance at beating them. |
| 238 | ** The religion aspect is perhaps the one thing Emps is rather pissed about her for. Her angelic figure and her false promises reminds him of the religions that once dominated Terra and the moment he purged all forms of religion did humanity slowly reign, except on the 41st Millennium where humanity has resorted to religious extremism. If anything, her plot to rid humanity to preserve their species rings similar to the horrid Imperium he is forced to clean up. |
| 239 | * All angels were on high alert when her presence was revealed and called her the worst type of angel, let alone even deserving the title of angel in the first place, for her dealings with Hell and the fact that the entire angel label was nothing more but lies to coerce others to believing her has placed her among the damned in all of angel society. Manwë Sulimo is most especially insulted by this, as her presence sparked anger on him for the first time as she is a representation of the worst qualities some angels have outside of his domain. The other angels, from former angel Tyrael to the overzealous Imperius have unanimously agreed to hunt her and the rest of the Maykrs for eternity with Archangel Michael the first to engage her in the frontlines. |
| 240 | ** While majority of the angelic deities are against YHVH, the Absolute Lawmaker is disgusted at the Khan Maykr's presence, believing her to be the epitome of failure when it comes to law. That and the fake appearance as an angel only fueled the fires between her and the GUAL, so much that her kin have been hunted down by his own servant Metatron. She has no worry though as once humanity is finally repented for their sins (read: killed by all demons), the Lawmaker and his forces will be the next she will pursue. |
| 241 | * ''"For millenia we have survived. Made others sacrifice themselves in the name of our prosperity - so that they may in turn find redemption. Who are you, a human, once a mortal, to defy our traditions!"'' |

| 266 | * SCP-682, or the Hard-To-Destroy Reptile is one of the most well known [=SCPs=] of all time. With a HealingFactor and AdaptiveAbility that lets it recovers from any injury, [[AnimalisticAbomination the reptilian monstrosity]] is a rare exception to the SCP Foundation's belief anomalies, even dangerous ones, should still exist for better study; [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness they believe 682 must be terminated as soon as possible]], because SCP-682 regards all Earth life and most anomalies as abominations [[OmnicidalManiac that need to all die]]. That said, the Hard-To-Destroy Reptile is not inherently evil. Rather [[BlueAndOrangeMorality it has an alien mindset]]; [[HumansThroughAlienEyes life as we know it is genuinely disgusting and horrifying from its perspective]]. Tellingly one of the only humanoids it's affection to is SCP-053, a cute little girl who causes humans to be driven to homicidal rage around her. |
| 267 | * SCP-682 finds most anomalies as disgusting as it sees humans, with the exception of some [[EldritchAbomination other Lovecraftian beings]] and a few other [[MoralityPet morality pets]]. There might be other anomalies it would get along with that it hasn't met yet, and the SCP Foundation is in no rush to try. It and the Gate Guardian have a history, as the 001 proposal implies [[BiblicalBadGuy it convinced Adam and Eve to take the fruit]]...and 682 '''is not welcome'''. SCP-2578-D tried to terminate 682, but was unsuccessful. In terms of friends 682 is only really friendly with SCP-079, who feels similarly trapped and has its own issues with humans; the two like to chat with one another. It doesn't ''like'' SCP-999, but it does tolerate the blob who managed to tickle it into merely being annoyed. [[spoiler:[[LukeIMightBeYourFather There's a theory that 682 and 999 are siblings]], with their moms being the brides of [[GodOfEvil the Scarlet King]], so there might be some ThickerThanWater traits in the lizard.]] |
| 268 | ** SCP-076-2 and SCP-1548 [[KillAllHumans have similar motives to 682]], but they're rivals more than anything. The latter had a rap battle in Morse Code with the beast, while the former once fought SCP-682 for hours. [[WorthyOpponent It was the best battle they had in ages and they now hold a mutual respect for one another]]. |
| 269 | * The SCP Foundation has notoriously made a long, ''long'' [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-t-98816-oc108-682 catalogue of items]]. Notable tests include sending SCP-682 into the sun (it came back ''on fire''), making it look at SCP-096 (682 was damaged but regrew, 096 became too scared to re-battle the lizard), exposing it to a statue that causes anything that looks at it then looks away to die (682 either played dead or didn't count as living) and putting 682 in a machine that can tweak the fundamental laws of physics inside it (it was reduced to 1% by not only did it recover, it ''enjoyed'' the experience). Perhaps the most alarming was using [[PortalBook SCP-826]] on the 12-page story ''The Generally Nice, Friendly Thing That Can And Will Kill SCP-682 Permanently if it So Much As Spots That Damn Lizard'' and luring SCP-682 in. [[HeroKiller SCP-682 killed the Thing]] and escaped the story, now the 209-page ''The Generally Nice, Friendly Thing That Tried To Kill SCP-682 Permanently But Failed''. While testing of SCP-826 show TheoryOfNarrativeCausality does not apply, the possibility that SCP-682 [[BeyondTheImpossible can break the most fundamental rule of fiction, and thus the Pantheon]], has disturbed all but the most insane deities. |
| 270 | ** There is, in fact, a universe where SCP-682 is KilledOffForReal; the universe of SCP-2935. However it is ''absolutely'' '''not an option''' in terminating 682. Not only is any organic life dead there, but anything even resembling life like ghosts, A.I, animated objects ect is inactive. And anything that visits such a world and returns will bring this death to their own universe. [[HorrifyingTheHorror Even most of the GUAD is horrified]] as not even intangible beings like Nekron would survive. On a much funnier note, there are alternate unvierse records of SCP-682 being killed by [[RuleOfFunny absurdly mundane methods]] like [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/kill-682 drunk driving]] and [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-76858/scp-682#post-1677431 a]] FingerGun. The SCP Foundation hesitates to use such since it tends to make SCP-682 [[UnstoppableRage even angrier and unstoppable]]. |
| 271 | ** While it failed at terminating SCP-682, SCP-173 frightens 682 after giving him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown until 682 grew ExtraEyes. In one scenario where SCP-173 learned to multiply, they succeeded at killing it...[[OhCrap and brought about their own apocalypse]]. SCP-524 can also do some major damage because it can nibble and eat at SCP-682, and to its shame the lizard fears Walter the Omnivorous Rabbit. Even if it liked Earth life, [[BerserkButton bringing that humiliating up would trigger its rage state]]. |
| 272 | * The Trope Pantheon [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness made the unorthodox move of]] ''denying'' SCP-682 any DeathIsCheap privileges; the Court of the Gods aren't going to throw gasoline into the house fire. Various gods have tried to terminate the Hard-To-Kill Reptile, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption and none of them have worked]]. Here are just a handful of examples. |
| 273 | ** Use the Death Note on SCP-682. This failed because "SCP-682" is not its name. [[DealWithTheDevil The Shinigami Eyes were given to a D-Class]]. They saw its name, [[StarfishLanguage which resembled a bunch of]] AlienGeometries. No translation has been found to write on the Death Note. Even if you could, what's the chance that the default "heart attack" option after just writing the name would work on SCP-682? L muses "suicide" might be viable, but it's doubtful [[ICannotSelfTerminate even 682 could kill 682]]. |
| 274 | ** Use the Hakai on SCP-682. [[Pantheon/DivineBehavior Beerus]] was confident it would work, but after half of 682's body was erased the procedure the erasure slowed down, and stopped at 93% of 682's body destroyed. When Beerus tried to remove the remaining 7%, the remainder glowed a golden "anti-Hakai" energy that replaced tissue faster than Beerus could destroy it.%% When the SCP Foundation asked if [[Pantheon/AuthorityFigures Zen'o]] should do the job instead |
| 275 | ** Amazingly, [[Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem Death of the Endless]] got involved. Most of the results are redacted, asides from two different responses. One of these was that 682 saying "like [[Pantheon/{{Demons}} the Morningstar]], you do ''not'' have dominion over me" and the other was 682 [[KnowWhenToFoldThem being smart enough to not even try to push Death's buttons]]. It's theorized that Death only agreed because she was curious about the Keter-class anomaly and wasn't convinced she needed to act. SCP-682 has its own opinion on why those who represent Death seethe at it, but don't directly intervene. |
| 276 | ---> Some creatures titled me "The Behemoth That Death Forgot" - Foolish assumption. Death never forgot me - They fear me. They always did. |
| 277 | ** The Spectre himself intervened and went wild on using his RealityWarper powers to punish SCP-682 for all its sins. Distorted into various shapes like burning wax, a hanged human, glass and other forms 682 was damaged and trying to find a way to adapt, but survived as it did in the "physical constant modifier room" SCP. The Hard-To-Destroy Reptile laughed through the pain, saying "your [[{{God}} Master]] said it Himself; [[EldritchAbomination I'm not one of His]]. [[BringIt Go ahead and do your worse]] [[BlasphemousBoast where your God failed]]". Moments afterwards the Spectre left and returned it to its containment chamber, possibly because [[OhCrap he was afraid what 682 would become if it learned to adapt to his powers]]. |
| 278 | ** The fear of 682 possibly adapting to [[RealityWarper the Spectre]] follows similar logic as to why the SCP Foundation refuses to throw it into a black hole, or [[NukeEm use nuclear weapons]]. On another note, while some dangerous beings have been cross-tested anything who could theoretically slay the lizard but prove an even bigger threat is best kept away. The Grey Goo is driven to eat anything smaller than it and reducing 682 to a consumable size may[[note]][[JokerImmunity let's be honest, it probably wouldn't]][[/note]] work...but [[ExtremeOmnivore the Grey Goo]] would doom everyone if it got its way. |
| 279 | * The SCP Foundation has stated to the Trope Pantheon that SCP-682 [[GenericDoomsdayVillain is to be defined by the threat it holds]] and long since gave up trying to reason with the beast. Though SCP-682 cannot be called a CompleteMonster due to its alien perspective and PetTheDog moments, it gets along with many [[BlueAndOrangeMorality due to its "humans bad, killing them equals good" belief]]. SCP-682 is one of few beings that Zamasu gets along with because they share a deep, mutual disgust for mortals, though [[NoNonsenseNemesis 682 has no time for grandstanding]]. SCP-682 is also close to the wicked serpent god Apophis, another EldritchAbomination [[AnimalisticAbomination in reptilian clothing]]. The SCP Foundation is not surprised because one of its origin stories is being "the bastard son of Apep". One version of Lucifer wholeheartedly agrees with SCP-682 that humans are disgusting and [[VillainousFriendship along with Zamasu they're friendly with one another]]...[[FauxAffablyEvil much as that means anything]]. And Death Phantom liked 682 due to their shared desire to kill everything, even if the former's motives [[StrawNihilist are even]] [[ForTheEvulz pettier]] than "they were disgusting". |
| 280 | * Cell is another highly malevolent figure SCP-682 gets along with, though as he sees 682 as a rival to his UltimateLifeForm position[[note]][[AdaptiveAbility and for]] [[JokerImmunity good reason]][[/note]] there's a fair bit of "[[FauxAffablyEvil friendly]]" ribbing between the two. For starters, the lizard feels Cell wastes his time [[HopeCrusher in making people's faces contort in terror]]. [[CardCarryingVillain Cell]] admitted yes, but unlike the lizard he doesn't actually hate humanity; [[ForTheEvulz he wants to because it's fun]]. A less monstrous figure SCP-682 counts as a [[FriendlyRivalry friendly rival]] is Ungoliant; like itself the GiantSpider is truly "otherly", and her interest in devouring the light has the lizard feel when she isn't squabbling with it over killing humans or SkewedPriorities between the two she can be very useful against those who'd try to contain/destroy it. SCP-682 hoped Sutekh the Destroyer and the Daleks would aid it, however they regard the beast as something to ultimately exterminate [[AbsoluteXenophobe as they're too close to 682 in character]]. [[EnemyMine But that's for after they kill their non-omnicidal enemies]], and the Dalek Empire [[AdmiringTheAbomination regards 682's hate as "disgustingly beautiful"]]. |
| 281 | * Only a god as insane and cruel as AM thought it was a good idea to [[TheCorrupter make SCP-682 WORSE]]. And yet, he tried his damndest to convince SCP-682 that simply killing the disgusting humans was not enough; [[TorturedMonster for the endless experimentation and suffering]] it should inflict a FateWorseThanDeath on the humans, and AM is all too happy to help. The idea that SCP-682 [[TheCorruptible would add sadism into the mix]] is scary enough, but [[BringMyBrownPants bowels were voided]] upon the possibility [[spoiler:[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/peace-i-would-settle-for-that they had a closer connection]]-they were one in the same.]] And when [[EvenEvilHasStandards one of 682's own allies asked AM why he say all this]], AM's response was right out of the lizard's playbook |
| 282 | -->'''AM''': "[[MisanthropeSupreme Because he knows the truth about humanity]]; ''they are disgusting''." |
| 283 | * [[LooseCanon With the SCP Foundation]] [[UnreliableCanon there is no canon]], so no-one's surprised [[MultipleChoicePast of the multiple backstories]]. The most popular one is that SCP-682 [[TheAntiChrist is the spawn]] [[SatanicArchetype of the Scarlet King]] [[InbredAndEvil and his fourth daughter-bride]]. Others claim that SCP-682 is the steed of which the Horseman Death rides. [[Pantheon/RuinAndDestruction The horseman Death]] disavows this and states he's lying, to which 682 replied "of course you'd [REDACTED] say that; [[spoiler:Death is a little girl]]". He may even have been the Serpent of the Garden of Eden, which [[Pantheon/ActsOfRevenge the Satan]] [[Literature/ParadiseLost who lost Paradise]] thought would be invitation to convince the Reptile to serve him. 682 chose to attack him instead. The Emperor of the Kingdom Dolorous had more success "befriending" the lizard by comparison; Dis in contempt to all creation appreciates the monster's nihilistic misanthropy. |
| 284 | * Back in 1882 Theodore Roosevelt and Lord Blackwood had to survive SCP-682 and 076-2, the former being known as the Tarasque. They've reported that the true form of SCP-682 [[OurDragonsAreDifferent is akin to a dragon]], to which 682 quipped "[[DraconicAbomination by limited perspectives, yes]]". SCP-682 is close enough to a dragon that it is able to get along with Acnologia and Malefor, though mostly through shared hatred in humans and/or desire [[OmnicidalManiac to end life as we know it]]. His alliance with the latter [[OhCrap horrifies Spyro]]. Falkor was also horrified [[DelightfulDragon since he's exact opposite type of dragon]], and Daenaerys was also disturbed by 682 who refuses to be tamed by the Targaryen. The lizard also took a liking to Ripley as "[[JokerImmunity I can see]] [[AxCrazy we're more alike]] than different". |
| 285 | * SCP-682 attempted to reach out to Grima in their misanthropy, however Grima declared 682 was a rival [[OmnicidalManiac for seeking to destroy all mankind]] [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans as he believes its better they suffer under his regime]]. [[PragmaticVillainy 682 believes that would be wasting time]]. It made the same reach out to Alduin and Majora's Mask to have aid in his goals, but they refused; Alduin is more interested in power than his job of being a world-ender, and Majora is childish psychopath who wanted to play games and do its own thing than listen to "reason". It finally got another dragon, Deathwing, to come to an understanding over [[OmnicidalManiac what the two of them want]]. The [=O5=] Council proceeded to tear their hair out at this since [[HiddenDepths 682 was proving good at making friends when they don't trigger its]] BerserkButton. |
| 286 | * SCP-682 is considered a valuable member of the GUAD because the Trope Pantheon's DeathIsCheap status is a useless buff for 682; the creature [[ItCanThink is a lot smarter than it looks]] and has survived basically everything. Black Hand muses that like the Phantom Stranger 682 [[MortalityGrayArea is neither dead nor alive]]. Neither Nekron nor 682 hold any offense to one another since Nekron does not see it as a "trespasser" and 682 doesn't see [[UndeadAbomination Nekron]] as "disgusting" either. Because many of the GUAD's members are still "disgusting" in his eyes due to being fully alive, it is a difficult ally [[TeamKiller prone to attacking said "disgusting" team-mates]]. Still, it bonded with some. Unicron agrees with 682 other life was disgusting, and Agent Smith has a similar disgust for humanity, who he perceives as a stinking virus. Finally there was the Lich, who 682 could respect for his tactical, [[NoNonsenseNemesis never fooling around]] attitude in trying to kill everyone. |
| 287 | * For his omnicidal views on organic life, SCP-682 has no problem with mechanical life [[HumansThroughAlienEyes since they look normal and not horrifying to it]]. Most mechanical beings have a problem with him because they don't want humanity slaughtered, but as far as SCP-682 is concerned [[NothingPersonal if they want to protect the REDACTED it's their problem]]. Optimus Prime was one of these. The nastier half of the GUAM likes this attitude; though SKYNET and XANA fear incurring 682's wrath to a degree, they're all too happy to help the anomaly KillAllHumans out of mutual misanthropy. The Magician is another acquaintance for its contempt for humanity, the SCP Foundation especially, and has helped 682 break containment numerous times. SCP-682 has a likeminded kinship for the rare organic race, namely the Brainspawn who consider almost all life incredibly unappealing as their thoughts are like agony. The SCP Foundation were concerned by also interested by their alliance; 682' thoughts neither hurt nor can be read by the brains, [[BlueAndOrangeMorality further proving 682's perspective is alien]]. |
| 288 | * It has shown [[PetTheDog surprising empathy]] with [[AdmiringTheAbomination some potently eldritch beings]], but the SCP Foundation has attempted to prevent any such meetings, since 682 is is trouble enough without such friends backing it up. Not helping is that it many of its allies [[ToxicFriendInfluence would want 682 kept away from anything that might be a positive influence]]. [[HumansThroughAlienEyes Though many seem horrifying to humans, it can see the beauty in them]]. For example, not only does [[Pantheon/OthernessAbominations Ghatanathoa]] not mummify 682 but 682 regards it as striking. Worth noting that there are hints that while naturally hostile to Earth life, Earth life also has a subdued natural hostility, explaining some of the Foundation's unorthodox hostility to it. |
| 289 | * After seeing that ThePowerOfFriendship could have an effect on SCP-682, as proven by SCP-999, more unorthodox means were used not to terminate 682 but [[HeelFaceTurn convince 682 to change its ways]]. [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption Nothing worked]]. Here are the attempts. |
| 290 | ** Have the Care Bares use the CareBearStare on SCP-682. [[NoSell This did nothing]], and 682 said that [[PetTheDog it was fully capable of being kind]]. However they and all Earth life is far too disgusting to deserve compassion. |
| 291 | ** After weakened from another termination attempt, have Iroque use HeelFaceBrainwashing on SCP-682 and force it to be compassionate with the Indigo Tribe. Amazingly, for five whole minutes SCP-682 was filled with compassion. However [[BlueAndOrangeMorality this was compassion in its eyes]]; rather than hating Earth life for being disgusting, [[MercyKill it believed they needed to be put out of their misery]] for being disgusting. |
| 292 | ** Get Wonder Woman to put the Lasso of Truth around 682. SCP-682 was forced to obey for the time, and Diana demanded to see the truth that humans are not disgusting. [[BlueAndOrangeMorality 682 proved it honestly believed it]], resisting this. She then asked ''why''. SCP-682 told the truth, [[BlackSpeech in a language that gave her a migrane]] and gave 682 enough of a distraction to break out of the Lasso. Diana still refuses to elaborate on what the lizard told her beyond saying "I don't agree with it, [[SympathyForTheDevil but I understand why]]". |
| 293 | * Trying to control SCP-682 is considered stupid, [[EvilIsNotAToy just stupid]]. [[StupidEvil Proving he is stupid]], Babidi thought it would be a good idea to try and Majin SCP-682. This failed due to a mix of a) 682 technically being ObliviouslyEvil and b) [[BlueAndOrangeMorality the wizard being unable to comprehend 682's mind]]. The Borg were far from stupid in their approach to the beast, but they are really tempted by assimilating the lizard into their perfection. 682 responded with a "[[ClusterFBomb you can REDACTED shove your DATA EXPUNGED perfection up your REDACTED]]". It feels the same to the Facehugger, who is interested in using 682 to create an unstoppable Xenomorph offspring, even if the lizard would survive the ChestBurster phase..[[TooSpicyForYogSothoth assuming its even compatible]]. |
| 294 | ** Some wonder what might happen if Majin Buu and SCP-682 fought; could 682 be assimilated by the former, [[AssimilationBackfire or would the latter take control of the former's body?]] SCP-035 is interested in finding out, mainly because it is interested in [[HijackingCthulhu taking control of 682's body]]. As the two share a desire [[OmnicidalManiac to kill everyone]], they've chosen not to answer this and instead work together for a common goal...unless Buu attacks [[MoralityPet the few things 682 likes]], of course. |
| 295 | * The last thing that the SCP Foundation wants is to make SCP-682 worse. Horrified by something akin to Majin Buu, Shin immediately wished on the Dragonballs that Potara Earrings don't work when placed on SCP-682. No-one knows if this was close enough wording to not violate the "Dragonballs can't unwillingly affect a being stronger than their creator" as fortunately there's been no occasion where 682 [[FusionDance has agreed to a 682-Zamasu or AM-682 situation]]. The SCP Foundation has proactively agreed they won't cross-test Doomsday despite their clear similarities making for a "fight fire with fire" scenario. Though the two see each other as competition, [[FriendlyRivalry they also regard themselves as kindred spirits]]. And they absolutely don't want SCP-682 to learn of the SCP-6820 file. [[spoiler:Its from a timeline where the SCP Foundation made a machine [[RetGone to remove 682 from the collective consciousness]] after learning it was the embodiment of the difference between life and death. But it was still known in the memory banks of the machine used to take it out, leading to "SCP-6820-A" hijacking it. All efforts to purge 6820-A [[NiceJobBreakingItHero eventually lead it]] [[RealityWarper to achieve]] [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm apotheosis]] [[TheBadGuysWins and full control of that universe]].]] |
| 296 | * The Emperor of Mankind naturally regards SCP-682 as a vile anathema to the human race, but he also speculates on why it considers humanity disgusting. His theory is that it has something to do with the Chaos Gods and how life can be connected to them. The Hard-To-Destroy Reptile admits it regards the Chaos Gods as "disgusting", likely because of their nature as embodiments of collective emotion from being it already considers "disgusting". [[Pantheon/ObsceneActions Khorne]] doesn't feel the same way[[note]]OK, [[HatesEveryoneEqually not the exact same way]][[/note]] though, since he respects 682's hatred and sheer determination. SCP-682 also holds a hatred of Shuma-Gorath and by extension the Many-Angled-Ones, but not one born out of its rage state: his kind made [[ComicBook/TheThanosImperative the Cancerverse]], an EldritchLocation where those it calls "disgusting" [[WhoWantsToLiveForever lose the ability to die]]. [[HypocrisyNod And yes, 682 is well aware of the irony]]. It doesn't like the Forms of Immortality sub-house for similar reasons. |
| 297 | ** There's a darker possibility for 682's hatred of the Chaos Gods from the very rare soul who has full access to the SCP-5000 article, one that details a timeline where the SCP Foundation ''[[FaceHeelTurn agreed]]'' with SCP-682 and decided to KillAllHumans. [[spoiler:There was an Entity who lives in the collective unconscious and is behind many of the traits that make humans human. [[NothingIsScarier Whatever it was is so bad]] that the SCP Foundation [[MercyKill considered it more ethical to destroy mankind]].]] |
| 298 | * There are other theories on why SCP-682 considers humanity disgusting. [[ArchEnemy The SCP Foundation]] has long since stopped caring what 682 thinks, but that hasn't stop people theorizing. [[Pantheon/{{Villainy}} Melkor]], who holds a burning hatred of men akin to the Hard-To-Destroy Reptile, theorizes it may be derived [[RageAgainstTheHeavens from similar contempt he has to humans]]. 682 spat at this and called Melkor out on his PsychologicalProjection. [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith YHVH]] and [[Pantheon/{{Leadership}} Darkseid]] believe [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill it is free will]], only to get the same response Melkor got. [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Lucifer]] didn't even bother postulating on the why. A few even proposed 682 has the FreudianExcuse of people who keep trying to kill it. [[DracoInLeatherPants 682 is amused at said people for whitewashing it]], given it was found after killing some farmers. And [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Cosmos]] postulated it's because 682 believes HumansAreBastards. Interestingly there might be evidence for this as the 682 of the utopian SCP-6001 universe is peaceful and no longer considers humans disgusting. Then again, [[LooseCanon this is the SCP Foundation]]; [[UnreliableCanon there is no canon]]. |

| 326 | * Interested in: [[Pantheon/BossFightsNToZ Ridley]] |
| 327 | * On a dying, withering planet in the far reaches of space, its inhabitants, the Shroobs, plotted to find and conquer greener pastures. They managed to find a perfect replacement homeworld, the Mushroom Kingdom of the past, and so spearheaded an invasion on the land. They laid waste the the land, conquered Peach's Castle, and sucked out the Vim out of Innocent Toads to use as energy. Meanwhile in the present, Princess Peach, Toadbert, and Toadiko went missing when they used Profeesor E. Gadd's time machine to travel to the past. Suddenly, a few strange portals appeared within Peach's Castle, and when Mario and Luigi hopped in, they were transported to the past. Teaming up with their younger selves, the four set out to stop the Shroob invasion once and for all. |
| 328 | * It was a bright, sunny day in the Pantheon, when suddenly a large fleet of spaceships stormed the Halls and Houses of Pantheon/{{Extraterrestrials}}, Pantheon/{{Slaughter}}, Pantheon/{{Science}} and Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology. The invasion, spearheaded by Princess Shroob herself, proceeded to take over the Houses and take some unfortunate deities hostage. While evacuations were underway, plenty of combat-capable deities within and out of the Houses (especially those experienced in repelling alien invasions) fought back against the Shroob threat, with Mario and Luigi confronting Princess Shroob. Surprisingly, her Elder Sister happened to be there too, no longer sealed within the Cobalt Star and assisting her sister. The battle was long and grueling, but the invasion was stopped, the Houses and hostages freed, and the fleets flew away into their newly built bases. However, given that someone gave them the title of '''[[AlienEpisode Alien Episodes]]''', the Shroobs won't be going away anytime soon. |
| 329 | ** It was once unknown how they made their way to the Pantheon. However, [[Pantheon/UndeadAndPhasmata Nekron]] admitted that he and the rest of the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction were the ones who organized their ascension in secret, supplying them information on the Pantheon, what Houses to invade, and when to invade. The Shroobs have also made it known that they have allied themselves with the GUAD as a token of gratitude, much to the displeasure of many. |
| 330 | * The [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Mario]] [[Pantheon/{{Unpopularity}} Bros]] were not amused to see that they had returned. They and their past selves had much trouble with the Shroobs when they invaded the Mushroom Kingdom of the past, plus bearing witness to their atrocities made them very wary of the alien mushrooms. [[Pantheon/{{Heirs}} Princess Peach]] was horrified that they managed to make their way to the Pantheon, as were [[Pantheon/MiscellaneousFlora the Toads]], as the Shroobs sucked the Vim out of innocent Toads by attaching them to trees in the Toadwood Forest. [[Pantheon/{{Language}} Professor E. Gadd]] is also displeased to see them in the Pantheon, but now that he knows their weakness, he's willing to spray them with baby tears should they try to attack him. [[Pantheon/DraconicBeings Bowser]] has told them that he is willing to [[EnemyMine help them fight against the Shroobs]], even if he wasn't aware of the invasion himself due to being too focused on kidnapping Princess Peach, but now that he's aware that the Peach he kidnapped was actually Princess Shroob in disguise as well as being possesed by Elder Princess Shroob, he's fully willing to fight the fleet. |
| 331 | * Applies to all of them: |
| 332 | ** They’ve already constructed multiple bases which are scattered around the Pantheon. However, nobody is going near them as of now due to what they did to not only the Mushroom Kingdom, but multiple of the Pantheon’s houses. Despite their odd weakness to Baby Tears of all things, they have become some of the [[TheDreaded most feared aliens in the Pantheon]] [[AliensAreBastards and for good reason]]. |
| 333 | ** Banned from the House of Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna simply due to what they did to many living in the Mushroom Kingdom, turning them into mutated Shroobified creatures. This doesn’t stop them from trying, though, and those who love nature are absolutely livid by what they did. Lucas actually sees it as similar to what Porky and his Pigmasks did to the wildlife on the Nowhere Islands and can be seen defending the House of Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna. |
| 334 | ** Used to be followers of the [[AliensAreBastards Martians.]] The two alien races are still on good terms with each other, [[EvenEvilHasStandards though the Martians sometimes cringe at the level of cruelty the Shroobs display.]] |
| 335 | ** Have been making more technology to provide to their allies. So not only do the Shroobs have this technology, but their allies as well. |
| 336 | ** Welcomed by the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction with open arms. The Shroobs are currently serving as some of their many soldiers with the Shroob Princesses having [[RankScalesWithAsskicking higher ranking positions]] then their {{Mooks}} in the GUAD. |
| 337 | ** There might have been a war beteeen the remaining Shroobs and the Koopa Troop after their invasion was stopped. If the Shroobs frozen in Bowser’s Cold Storage are any indication, this might be true. |
| 338 | ** Dr. Zomboss immediately decided to try evicting them from the Pantheon. [[TooDumbToLive His trouble was rewarded with him being gunned down by multiple Shroobs]]. He hasn’t attempted since. |
| 339 | ** Have developed quite the rivalry with Nagash the Undying as both parties have noted how similar their goals are. The Shroobs want to shroobify as much as they can and destroy all who stand in their way, even going as far as to harvesting Toads for their life force. Nagash wants to turn everyone into mindless undead so they’ll serve him without question. |
| 340 | ** The Shroobs hate the Vex. Not only do they have far superior technology to theirs, but they have cracked time travel. Something that could have helped them defeat Mario and Luigi during their invasion. After hearing about how they have the potential to become the last surviving race, the Shroobs have decided to pump out more technology and firepower with the intentions of subverting them to their will. The Vex, in turn, want to do the same to the Shroobs. |
| 341 | ** Madoka Kaname once encountered a small group of [[TheGoomba Shrooblets]] and was astonished when she accidentally [[MinionWithAnFInEvil took them all out]], even without her powers. Homura Akemi seeks to annihilate all of the Shroobs to keep her safe. Elder Princess Shroob is leading an operation to create ways to counter her. More recently, after Madoka got some of her powers back, the Shroob Princesses have had some of her soldiers begin watching both her and Homura fight and report back what they see to get a better idea on how to counter the two. They’ve also been trying to prepare for the possibility that Madoka gets the full extent of her power back. |
| 342 | ** The Doctor notes their similarities to the Daleks, as does Rassilon, though they absolutely refuse to form an EnemyMine to combat the Shroobs. Given who Rassilon [[{{Jerkass}} is]], this isn’t surprising. To nobody’s surprise, the Shroobs and the Daleks have formed an intense rivalry. |
| 343 | ** [[HorrifyingTheHorror Disturbs Thanos quite a bit]], though he will work with them from time to time. He even stated that at least he didn’t try to [[AxCrazy wipe out everything that moved]] and only settled for getting rid of half of the universe. |
| 344 | ** Currently working with the Harvesters to take the resources of planets. The Harvesters don’t mind, as it makes it much more difficult for their enemies to take them down. |
| 345 | ** A very dire enemy of the Grand United Alliance of Nature for obvious reasons. Their destruction and ruining of planets has them among their top targets. |
| 346 | ** The Shroobs proved to be bold enough to directly raid Pantheon/TheGreatTreasury to secure some [[Pantheon/MiscellaneousItems HP Bullets]]. Such a large force drew a lot of attention, sure, but it also overwhelmed the initial security that guarded the K Corp’s prized medicine technology. Unfortunately, some of the vials would be destroyed in the ensuing conflict and ended up splashing onto the alien infiltrators. The results were... horrific, with the dosed Shroobs [[CruelAndUnusualDeath rapidly melting and mutating simultaneously before eventually expiring]]. The sight was too much to bear to those who were unfortunate enough to be witnesses and even K Corp’s stern staff became unnerved by the sight though not enough to clean up the remaining Shroobs alongside the alerted security. The rest of the healing singularity was safe though the staff present were reprimanded for losing some of the tears. Since then, the Shroobs want nothing to do with K Corp’s Singularity and have settled with destroying them as they pose the same lethality to them as baby tears do barring the Elder Queen. [[DramaticIrony If only they knew...]] |
| 347 | * Applies to one or both Shroob Princesses: |
| 348 | ** Princess Shroob has an...odd relationship with Petey Piranha, to say the least. Unlike other Mario deities, Petey is perfectly fine with her as long as she supplies him food to eat, preferably man. This has caused her to develop a friendship with Audrey II, Princess Shroob noticing its similarities to Petey almost immediately. |
| 349 | ** Ragyo Kiryuin loves Princess Shroob. The fact that both of them are remorseless beings with the goal of destroying all of mankind for the sake of alien races made them allies. Obviously, she and the rest of the Shroobs have found themselves opposed by Ryuko Matoi, Satsuki Kiryuin and Senketsu, the alien race reminding them too much of what nearly happened to their world. Princess Shroob also reminds them too damn much of Ragyo. |
| 350 | ** Black Doom loves the Shroobs and eventually met with their Princesses. The three realized that both the Shroobs and the Black Arms actually have a lot in common. The Shroobs and The Black Arms have now become allies with each other. Shadow the Hedgehog was not amused, and neither was Gerald Robotnik. The two are willing to defend Maria if they dare go after her. |
| 351 | ** [[OhCrap To everyone’s horror]], Elder Princess Shroob gets along with Davros. This is something that worries many as they fear he’ll help the Shroobs improve their technology. He hasn’t done so as of yet, though Elder Princess Shroob has become one of his closest allies. |
| 352 | ** The Shroob Princesses have taken quite the interest in Ridley and they are interested in Shroobifying him. If all goes well for them, the Pantheon may encounter a Shroobified version of Ridley. |
| 353 | ** They seek to destroy the Houses of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives and Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence, given baby tears were what ultimately led to their defeat. Fortunately, there are people on standby who will fight to repel them should the Shroobs decide to attack those houses. |
| 354 | ** Elder Princess Shroob has put a target on the backs of anyone and anything capable of sealing her away. She doesn’t want to be sealed away again. Many think she's going too far with it, given sealing her away requires the object she is trapped in to be destroyed into multiple pieces and that when the Cobalt Star was reformed she immediately emerged from it. |

| 367 | * While they are considered part of the Pantheon, they are, thankfully, locked outside of it with a magic seal that prevents their entry and are not to be let in unless it is [[GodzillaThreshold an extremely dire situation and there is no better alternative.]] |
| 368 | ** The place that holds the Tyranid seal is a temple devoted to them that is located deep in the jungles of this very Hall. Said temple is guarded by a magically bound [[TheJuggernaut Carnifex]] who has been lovingly named [[FluffyTheTerrible "Cuddlefex"]] by some of the more intelligent members of the Bestiary. |
| 369 | * [[{{Expy}} Resembles the Xenomorphs]], leading some of the Imperium to theorize Xenomorphs are Tyranids that Slaanesh got his/her hands on. It is not known what might happen if a Facehugger latches onto a Tyranid, but it'd be pure NightmareFuel and the Court of the Gods has forbidden anyone from letting the two next to each other. |
| 370 | * The Tyrandis are after one and only one thing; to consume all that breathes. They'll consume every bit of organic matter and resources on a planet down to the bedrock, and leave the now lifeless planet behind to search for more. Their hunger is on par with the Swarm, and as such the two often butt heads. As does Ungoliant. |
| 371 | * Often engages in a great battle with [[Pantheon/UndeadAndPhasmata The Flood]], who seeks to assimilate the Tyranids into itself, or at least turn them into willing soldiers. For now, they are at a stalemate. |
| 372 | * Despite being able to eat almost anything, the Grox [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth are completely indigestible]] to the Tyranids; something which greatly frustrates them but they can't be bothered dealing with. They also aren't able to digest any of the undead, which give them food poisoning, and while the Hall of Toxicity isn't that much of a problem, the Lich is. Mogo also screwed them over when they tried to raze the planet. |
| 373 | * Even they are completely out-classed by the planet-eating Galactus and Unicron who ended up eating them instead and freaking out the hive mind. |
| 374 | * For some strange reason, some of their Genestealers have developed an obsession with taking people's pants, leaving their victims embarrassed but generally unharmed. |
| 375 | * Felix, Ralph and Vanellope are concerned over the matter of Tyranids, due to their similarities to the Cy-Bugs. |
| 376 | * Evidence suggest that the Tyranids are actually running away [[AlwaysABiggerFish from something else]]. Given [[CrapsackWorld what the 41st millennium is like]], most don't want to imagine what that threat might be if the 'Nids don't consider the insanity that is the Milky Way galaxy frightening. |

| 390 | * Pity: [[Pantheon/OtherCreatures The Prinnies]] |
| 391 | * Wary of: [[Pantheon/MindGames Arael]] |
| 392 | * The Vortigaunts are an alien race that originally participated in the [[Videogame/HalfLife original invasion to Black Mesa]] where they were hostile to any human they encountered. As it turns out, The Vortigaunts were a SlaveRace that served the Nihilanth and with his defeat at the hands of Gordon Freeman, the Vortigaunts were free to choose who to serve and thus, joined the humans to combat the Combine invasion. |
| 393 | * Surprisingly on good terms with the Gamilon leader Abelt Dessler, since he allied himself with the people of earth after [[HeelFaceTurn having a change of heart]] and so his people did. The Vorts kindly asked Dessler if he could provide backup for the battle against The Combine, which he surprisingly agreed on. They also have received backup from other people like Juzo Okita and Commander Farsight |
| 394 | * All Vortigaunts are bound to the [[HiveMind Vortessence]] and it is rumored that it's the place where they gain all of their powers. The Vortigaunts themeselves had stated that this is a very powerful source and that they can use for almost anything they need. |
| 395 | * The Vortigaunts have gained the friendship of the ascended member of the Protoss race, since that both have very similar cultures. They also bonded over the fact that, [[spoiler:the Protoss were also bound to a powerful entity known as Amon, which the Vortigaunts are very familiar with this situation, since they were also enslaved by The Nihilanth back in Xen]] |
| 396 | * Their time as [[SlaveRace slaves]] has left a pretty big mark in the history of the Vortigaunts and as such, they have sympathized with those who were also used as "tools" or so they call. People like Moses and Pearl have become pretty close friends with the Vorts over this shared experience. |
| 397 | ** They also pity the Prinnies for being a fellow SlaveRace and having Etna as a master, who could actually be worse than the Nihilanth himself. However, they aren't particularly pleased about why are they Prinnies in the first place. |
| 398 | * Often referred to as a "Big Race full of Yodas", which caught the attention of the master Jedi himself. It is certain that both Yoda and the Vorts share a similar speech pattern, but they also bonded over the knowledge of both the Jedi Culture and the Vortessence. Yoda is very intrigued by the mysteries the Vortigaunts store in their vast history. |
| 399 | * While Vorts aren't very hostile creatures themselves, they have learn to despise the Elder Dragon known as Mordremoth for trying to enslave the Sylvari, a fact that reminds them a lot of their time under The Nihilanth. Mordremoth himself has taken interest in the vortessence and has wondered if it can become a very powerful source of magic. This singlehandedly made the Vortigaunts seek to take down Mordremoth for good so they allied themselves with the Centaur Ventari in the fight against the Elder Dragon. |
| 400 | * They can channel powerful [[ShockAndAwe electric charges]] from their bodies, which can be quite deadly depending how strong is their attack. That's why they found common ground with the conduit Cole [=MacGrath=], since his electric control is on par with that of the Vorts. |
| 401 | ** The Vorts have also prove valuable for the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases, since their control over electricity (plus their connection to the vortessence) has proven to have healing properties, allowing to save multiple lives that could've been lost. A special Vortigaunt division was created in case someone is fatally wounded. |
| 402 | * They have a big dislike for those who [[MindRape "defile the mind"]] (as they say) to control their victims, which indeed happened to them during their time at Xen. So far, the Vorts had a few encounters with Sosuke Aizen and The Old Gods, who tried to turn them into their personal minions. |
| 403 | ** However, there is one creature that they have been careful to approach and that would be Arael. While the powers of Arael can be dangerous, it doesn't have any ill will towards the Vortigaunts and only wants to research the human mind. They once had a conversation with the angel but the Vorts still have their doubts about its motivations, especially if it wants to "research" the Vortessence, which would probably end with horrific results. |
| 404 | * One of the few deities that understands the nature of the Vortessence and isn't a Vortigaunt happens to be Ysera. The Aspect of Nature has naturally made friends with the Vortigaunts and she has even introduced them to the Emerald Dream, a place the Vorts describe as a "more bizarre Vortessence". They also consider her "their master" when "The Freeman" is not available. |
| 405 | * While they have been able to fend off the influence of the G-Man on Gordon Freeman, they have learned that he has far more presence here than in their own universe. While the G-man has kept a low profile for the moment, it is rumored that he plans to use the vortigaunts for a "special task". |

| 426 | * Deathly Terrified of: {{Yandere}}s |
| 427 | * He is one calm and intelligent alien but outside this, arguably because of his memory loss and sudden arrival to another world, he is curious to the point of naivety, for matters as simple as eating, going to the bathroom, or believing that TV shows are real. He is very interested in humans and their behavior, constantly making observations about them, this is the reason of his ascension in the pantheon. |
| 428 | * Yuma was really happy to finally see him ascend on his own and went to congratulate him. Same thing for the rest of the Zexal deities[[spoiler:, though his reunion with Vector was a bit chilly]]. |
| 429 | * Astral was really frustrated to find out that, even after his ascension and all, he still is invisible! And since he is no Duel Spirit, he can't even use [[Anime/YugiohArcV Solid Vision With Mass]] (not that he would want that, given that the only ascended person with that '''hates''' him). He can only get around that with telepathy or by using Yuma as an interpreter. |
| 430 | ** This has made him bond a little with [[spoiler:Hanyuu]], who also suffers from this. It probably helps that [[spoiler:she]] is ascended one and as such they can see each other just fine. |
| 431 | * Seems to be fond of the gods coming from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', especially Sora, who is surprisingly similar to him and [[Creator/MiyuIrino sounds]] like him, and Ventus, who [[spoiler:who is surprisingly similar to Yuma]] and [[Creator/KoukiUchiyama sounds]] like [[Pantheon/OtherPowers Kaito]]. |
| 432 | ** However, this is also the reason why he opposes Vanitas. Besides the voice, he can also see several traits of the villainous Number 96 Black Mist in him. |
| 433 | * He is afraid of yanderes and doesn't like it when someone asks him the reason ([[spoiler:It's because he went insane like that once]]) but he later trusted this information to Venom as he believes that they are similar in this respect. |
| 434 | ** Because of this, he doesn't like Yubel even if they are similar with the way they fuse with their partners., often leading to TeethClenchedTeamwork because of their partners being friends. |
| 435 | * He also found a good kindred-spirit in Fi since she also happens to be a mentor figure to the hero form her native verse. He also sympathize with her since they were often told by their respective heroes to stop giving advice to them. |
| 436 | * Is somewhat amused with Gentaro Kisaragi but he can't understand why. It might be because [[{{Expy}} of his similarities with Yuma]]. |
| 437 | ** He is also interested in observing Kengo and his Astroswitches, because he thought that the ZEXAL weapons were the only ones created out of bonds so he wants to understand the switches better. |
| 438 | * Apparently, [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/6b4d7c98fb08b5b97559953e8e598cd5/tumblr_munf261hyy1shfh62o1_1280.png he wants to be a detective]], even if Yuma doesn't approve. Shotaro Hidari and Philip both noted how his relationship with Yuma is similar to their own and thus were amused at this discovery. |
| 439 | * Is often sent on diplomatic missions by Eliphas as a messenger of the Astral World. In fact, he is the sole link that Deity has to the Pantheon aside from Eiki Shiki, which is the reason why he can be seen as similar to Metatron. |
| 440 | ** He doesn't really appreciate this notion at all, specially after the latter rejected a peaceful attempt to "fix" the GUAL, which would mean a war is almost imminent now... |
| 441 | * He has become friends with Oyashiro of all gods. [[spoiler:Mostly because she wants to help with the Reformation of the GUAL]]. Rika Furude has also made the effort to contact him for this reason and because she understand his ordeal regarding Black Mist. |
| 442 | ** He has tried to introduce [[spoiler:Hanyuu]] to Eliphas to show him that it ''is'' possible to Rank Up and be chaotic on request of Rka. Though he is not quite sure if it will work. |
| 443 | * Doesn't leave his temple and/or the Emperor's Key ever since his ArchEnemy Number 96: Black Mist ascended unless the situation is extreme, though Yuma has been trying to convince him otherwise. |

| 457 | * Rivals: [[Pantheon/{{Starcraft}} the Zerg]] |
| 458 | * Enemies: all xenophobes, [[Pantheon/TyrannicalFigures The Enclave]], [[Pantheon/MotivationsForEvil the Illusive Man]] |
| 459 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/Warhammer40000 The Imperium of Man]] |
| 460 | * Often, when it comes to First Contact between humanity and other extraterrestrials, either the latter's hostile intentions are clear, are hidden behind a false gesture of peace, or those peacful gestures are made clear to be genuine. Of course, due to different moralities, there's always the chance of miscommunication and [[PoorCommunicationKills all the disasters that go with it]]. The Formics are victims of such. The reason behind this is because Formics operate on a HiveMind, where all its workers are mindless drones and only the queens had free thought, and they assumed that a hive mind was prerequisite for sentience. |
| 461 | ** Naturally, when one of their scout ships in a colonization fleet reached Earth, they already destroyed hundreds of civilian mining ships, asteroid colonies, and weigh stations along the way, made to terraform it, assuming the humans were just mindless animals. Of course, they turned out to be wrong, and the scout ship was destroyed, making the Formics think that humanity is being uncommonly agressive as they then prepared for war. |
| 462 | ** Near the end of the Second Formic War, upon losing one of their Queens, that's when they came to realize that '''all''' human beings were actually individuals and not just "appendages" for whatever dominant mind they're under, were horrified at how many individual lives they've taken, and decided to pull away and leave them be. Unfortunately, it was too late as humanity wasn't about to let the disaster that befell them happen again and the Third Formic War began, this time with humanity as the instigators. |
| 463 | ** "Fortunately" for them, they saw this ahead of time and hid away a Hive Queen cocoon on a different planet. After the end of the Third Formic War, where humanity destroyed the Formic's home planet and killed all the Queens there (by extension disabling all their drones), one Ender Wiggin, whom they've been reaching out to during that war, found the cocoon, and set off on a relativistic journey to find a new home for them. Eventually, they found it in the planet of Lusitania and the Formics were reborn. |
| 464 | * As for how the Formics managed to settle in the Pantheon, to avoid the same mistake that started the war that nearly drove them to extinction, thanks to what they learned from Ender, their colonization fleet that managed to find the Pantheon's location stopped a fair distance away. While keeping the trigger-happy xenophobics away, the Court of the Gods sent a scout team to determine their intent. Among this team were Sheryl Nome, Setsuna F. Seiei (given their experiences with the Vajra and the ELS), and Ash Ketchum (known for [[PalsWithJesus befriending beings worthy of divinity]]). Surprisingly, things went along well this time and, after one of the scout team recognized the Formics from a story, the Court of the Gods decided to help them settle in the Pantheon and "ascend" them to represent the tragedy of miscommunication between two races that can't understand each other. |
| 465 | ** In addition to setting up their hive, the Formics—after learning how life and death works here—requested for Ender Wiggin to come. Ender is... less than stellar, thinking he doesn’t deserve praise from the people he killed. |
| 466 | * Due to how dangerous the Pantheon is, and the needs of communication, the Formic Queens eventually managed to "evolve" a means of ranged communication that their Workers can carry so they can talk with others for negotiations and other things. They've also sent quite the number of Workers to the House of Knowledge to learn more; they're that determined not to repeat their tragic mistake. |
| 467 | * Remember: the Workers and Drones don't have individual minds, only the Queens. |
| 468 | * Got along with the Heptapods, given they've nearly had a miscommunication disaster as well, though they're also a bit envious that "Costello" and "Abbott" had the foresight to come carefully and peacefully [[spoiler:due to how they perceive time because humanity was going to help them in the future]]. |
| 469 | * The Chozo have also considered them allies and they and Samus Aran vow to have them protected from any xenophobes. |
| 470 | * Having similar HiveMind mentalities, the Formics drew interest from the Zerg. They're grateful that they're more-or-less kept in line by Sarah Kerrigan (while also concerned regarding her past), are unnerved by the other born Zerg (Zagara, Abathur, Dehaka), and have conflicting opinions on Stukov. |
| 471 | * Given how pessimistic things are in the 40K universe, the Formics understand why the Imperium of Man would want nothing to do with them. |
| 472 | ** And then there are also the Enclave, who think they're faking their attempts at making up for what they did to humanity, and would rather exterminate them claiming it to be for the good of mankind. The Formics wish to know what else they can do to make up for their mistake, but after reaching out to one of their minds, they realized the Enclave are just plain xenophobes who just with to off another potential threat to their plans on forging a new America in the Pantheon. |

| 499 | * Jazz is Optimus Prime's [[NumberTwo right-hand man]], serving as head of Special Operations for the Autobot cause. It requires a lot of preparation, but for Jazz he's more than ready. He's skilled at improvisation and responds well to drastic changes on the battlefield. Plus, he always adds his own flare to the party. As a result of his enthusiastic, outgoing personality, he's one of most popular Autobots among the crew of the Ark. He's also been shown to really enjoy [[KlingonsLoveShakespeare love Earth's popular culture]], especially its music and vehicles. He arrived in the Pantheon as part of an Autobot/Maximal strike force created by Ultra Magnus to repel the ever-increasing threat of Megatron's ascended Decepticons. Their first confrontation lead to a quick and deceive victory for Magnus's team, with Jazz taking on [[BountyHunter Lockdown]] one on one. Afterwards, Jazz was given a temple and position in the Pantheon alongside several of his comrades. Optimus was happy to see his First Lieutenant return to his side and is looking forward to seeing him back in operation. |
| 500 | * Serving as principal herald to Jazz is Blaster, Autobot communications officer, fellow admirer of human music and well-known rival of the deified [[Pantheon/CyberneticsAndEnhancements Soundwave]]. The pair often spend their time hanging out in the House of Pantheon/{{Musicality}} and jamming to the many vibrant tunes the Multiverse has to offer. However on one [[{{Pun}} jazz]] night, they did end up encountering Soundwave in attendance. Blaster confronted him and... [[https://youtu.be/lBl8GAymHrU?t=84 Let's just say things should be left to the imagination.]] A sudden need for more troops necessitated that Jazz take on other like-minded Autobots as heralds, including the rest of the original ''Ark'' crew who hadn't become heralds by that point, all of whom are welcome additions to the Autobot[=/=]Maximal coalition force. |
| 501 | * A skilled racer in his own right, Jazz will take part in major competitions hosted in the House of Pantheon/{{Sports}}, often racing against his fellow comrades and other human drivers too. Ben-Hur, The Duke boys, Dominic Toretto, and Johnny Joestar make for basic rivals, while Lucy Liberty, Ryu Suzaku and ''especially'' Captain Falcon put Jazz straight to the test, pushing him to the limit of his skills. At the end of the day though, he still treats them all well and good, and has been seen hanging out with all his rivals on their down time. |
| 502 | * Water Tribesman Sokka has expressed interest in Cybertronian technology and after Jazz showed him a couple of the primary details, the rest was history. The pair became friends rather quickly, with Jazz seeing a lot of his fun-loving personality in the young human... but he has to be careful showcasing weapons and gadgets to Sokka; the last time Sokka tried out the [[Anime/TransformersArmada Star]] [[{{BFS}} Saber]], it nearly destroyed a quarter block of the House of Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology. |
| 503 | * Gets along well with other alien deities who share a similar appreciation for Earth's commodities and finds Martian Manhunter's affinity for Oreo's, Worf's Klingon love for Shakespeare and the Doctor's love for humanity in general rather endearing. It's also how Jazz became acquainted with Steven Universe's Crystal Gem friends, as each of them have found a particular interest in human pop culture. Amethyst in particular has the most interest, enjoyment, and indulgence of various Earth activities, mostly eating and sleeping. Jazz finds her to be very laid-back and rowdy but more than makes up for it with her percussion skills. Combined with Jazz's boombox and break dancing and dance night in the House of Pantheon/{{Musicality}} becomes truly extravagant. |
| 504 | * Jazz has been on many adventures over the eons, and being [[EatenAlive devoured by]] [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie Unicron]] is not on his most popular list. He and Bumbleebee - who was also consumed by the Chaos-Bringer - have no intentions on going through that again. Especially since there's ''[[OhCrap another]]'' planet eater in the form of Galactus. Luckily, the duo were quick to reacquaint themselves with the New Avengers '''[[note]] Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Luke Cage, Captain Marvel [[/note]]''', who are more than happy to help out with dealing with the above threat as well other villains like Ultron, Doctor Doom, and Doctor Octopus. |
| 505 | ** On that note, Jazz likes hanging around the Guardians of the Galaxy, listening to the psychedelic tunes playing from Star-Lord's cassette player, and helping in the fight against Thanos and whatever terrors the Multiverse has to offer. |
| 506 | ** He's also teamed up with the ascended members of G.I. Joe to stop Cobra Commander, and to make sure their plans with the Decepticons are thwarted. |
| 507 | * Became an honorary sixth member of the [[Anime/CowboyBebop spaceship Bebop]], with Spike, Faya, and Radical Ed always welcoming him aboard to share his stories across the cosmos and to aid in dangerous missions. It also helps that Jazz is a big fan of [[https://youtu.be/DeS2KdAMyMY free form jazz.]] |
| 508 | * It was through Optimus Prime that Jazz met and befriended the Iron giant, who found a fascinating interest in Cybertronian transformations. The giant robot's known disdain for violence did remind the Autobot of when he [[ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW became weary of war]] and found some humans [[HumansAreBastards to be rather hateful to his kind.]] As such, Jazz hopes that push doesn't come to shove and neither Optimus or Megatron convince the giant to join the war. |
| 509 | * Like many of his fellow Transformers, Jazz can take on various forms depending on what the situation calls for, most of them retaining his traditional blue and white colour scheme. When espionage is required, he will become a [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated sleek master of Cyber-Ninjitsu]] and if that doesn't work, he'll become either a hard-hitting [[Film/Transformers2007 Pontiac Solstice equipped with an magnetic field generator and photon blaster]], or a more standard [[WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise variant with built-in speakers]] to daze and incapacitate foes. But more often than not, he'll revert back to his original form for nostalgia sakes. Regardless, he's still his normal self no matter what form he takes. |
| 510 | ** Unfortunately, like many of his comrades, he also has an [[ComicBook/TransformersShatteredGlass alternate form]] based on an AlternateUniverse where the Autobots are the villains. This version of Jazz is a [[UndyingLoyalty fiercely loyal bodyguard]] to Optimus Prime, who adopted more punk-like mannerisms from Earth's pop culture. In other words, Jazz [[Creator/{{MRT}} pities the fool]] who tries to get at his boss. |
| 511 | * Considering his less than stellar relationship with the super-powered and crazed [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Circuit_Breaker_(G1) Circuit Breaker]], Jazz stays well out of the way of the House of Pantheon/{{Electricity}}, not wanting to get electrocuted once again. It's also the reason he has come to be an enemy to Princess Azula, especially after their first meeting nearly [[NoodleIncident ended in disaster]]. |
| 512 | * Given how they're willing to kill any humans [[SuperSupremacist that don't share their powers]], not to mention being opposed to anyone willing to protect those humans, Jazz immediately landed in Zorda and the Seven's list of enemies. Of the seven, he's particularly careful of Gibril, Asroc, and Teseo, who all possess powers over [[ExtraOreDinary metal]], [[{{Technopath}} machines and hackery]] respectively. In response, Jazz has been approached by the hitman Gunvolt, who offered to help the Autobots combat Zorda's gang. But his own [[LightningCanDoAnything electrical powers]] have left Jazz a little bit wary to trust him, though he was quick to take note of Gunvolt's [[HitmanWithAHeart kind nature.]] |
| 513 | * Shares his music tastes with The Silver Surfer, another alien who fell in love with what humanity had to offer. He felt bad for his plight, as the fate of Norrin's planet mirrored that of Unicron. |
| 514 | * Has a bit of trouble trusting the Dukes of Hazard after losing to a Decepticon [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r1WasN5JFQ disguised as their vehicle, General Lee.]] To be more precise, he likes the Duke boys and Daisy, but is wary of the car in case it transforms. |

| 535 | * While there are many Chozo that have ascended to the pantheon, the two most prominent members of the group are Old Bird and Gray Voice. The two can be consider Samus' Chozo parents as the former raised and help trained Samus while the latter provided the DNA for her genetic modification. |
| 536 | * The Chozo race have express their gratitude to their adopted daughter Samus for carrying out their legacy. Old Bird in particular has told her how proud he was to have raised her. This caused the normally silent warrior to shed tears of joy from those words from her adopted father. |
| 537 | ** Many Chozo have also express concern over the Hatching. Since they raised Samus to eliminate their past mistake, they were surprise that the Metroid considers Samus it's mother. While they haven't taken any action over the parasite, they have been keeping a close eye on it. |
| 538 | * Before they dedicated themselves in knowledge, they were once a race of warriors. Which would easily explain the PoweredArmor that Samus uses. They are now a more peaceful race that advocate a a more peaceful approach. So non-violent they are that they devoloped a mental block that cause pain if they do act violent. Though, Gray Voice was able to endure to fight to a stand still with Ridley. However, while they do seek peace, that doesn't mean they can't devoloped things to do harm. Both the Metroids and Samus Aran can attest to that. The Chozo are willingly to lean their expertise to GUAG. Though, only in certain situations for fear of any misuse of their technology. |
| 539 | * After reaching a sterile point in their technology advencement, many Chozo decided to cross the far galaxy in sharing and gathering knowledge. This stance is opposite to Brainiac who wants to collect knowledge and destroy the original source. When the Coluan learned of the space birds, he became interested in their knowledge. |
| 540 | * It's unknown what truly happen to the race. While some have died thanks to Mother Brain and the Space Pirate, there's other who ascended to a higher existence. While it can't be one hundred percent certain they died out, the same could be say of their survival. |
| 541 | * While well known for their technology advancement, the Chozo do have a good understanding of magic as proven by their interaction with the Reptilicans. One wonders of there's some mystic property in Samus's suit as any attempts to reverse engineer the tech ends badly. |
| 542 | ** There's also some Chozo who can see visions of the future. While not perfect, they were able to predict the emergence of Phazon and prepared Samus for her battle against the corrupted entity. |
| 543 | * Have been seen interacting with some of the more intellectual individuals of the pantheon. Mostly those of alien origins and some earthlings. There has been talks on forming a Science Council that would include the brilliant minds all over the cosmos. |
| 544 | ** One particular scientist they had the most interaction is the Kryptonian Jor-El. While most talk are over scientific improvement, they do stray to the fact they each left a legacy to their people with their children. |
| 545 | * One or two incarnation of the Doctor have made contact with the Chozo race. Each of them have express respect and admiration for the others devotion of life and wanting peace in the galaxy. The Doctor mention that what ever technology they use for Samus' Morph Ball is very similar to their "bigger on the inside" tech. There has been adventures of the Gallifreyan and a Chozo companion or two. |
| 546 | * While they do see many life forms precious, they do not hold the same views for X Parasites. That's why they created the Metroids to act as predators for them. Learning of SA-X has made them very adamant on stopping it in anyway possible. |
| 547 | * Have shown shock at Amon betraying his fellow Xel'naga brethrens for his own insidious plans. |
| 548 | * New information have revealed that [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/MetroidSamusReturns a sect of rogue Chozo never renounce their warrior ways and actually killed their fellow Chozo brothers on SR388]]]]. |

| 579 | * Interested in: [[Pantheon/MindControl The Hypnotoad]] |
| 580 | * Sergeant Keroro is a frog-like alien known as a Keronian who was assigned to scout for an invasion of Earth. But once his superiors realize he's been found out by two Japanese teenagers, they abort the mission and leave him and his crew behind. With no one else to turn to, Keroro ends up staying at the Hinata house with Fuyuki, Natsumi, and their mom Aki, living as something between a servant and a pet. Of course, Keroro is still an invader and still plotting the downfall of Earth (or Pokopen/Pekopon as he’d call it) with the help his fellow teammates (the mercurial Private Tamama, the gruff Corporal Giroro, the mischievous Sgt. Major Kururu, and the enigmatic Dororo). Even so, you can bet that any chance of them conquering Pekopon would end up blowing up in their faces [[HilarityEnsues with hilarious results]]. |
| 581 | * As usual, the platoon is at their underground lair discussing their plans to conquer Peokopon. All of a sudden, the computers in their base got hacked before showing a mysterious figure, telling them they were to be reported to the main headquarters. Panic from the platoon ensues before getting forcibly teleported to somewhere outside of Pekopen. When the frogs woke up, they found themselves before the Court of the Gods. Upon examining the Platoon’s antics, the Court thought it’s be fitting for them to receive EasilyThwartedAlienInvasion seeing their constant failures to conquer Pekopon/Earth. Needless to say, Keroro finds that title to be rather offensive and would often try with some help of his platoon to disprove it by devising some new plans to conquer Pekopon, although most of the time, they go nowhere due to his own incompetence. |
| 582 | ** Their temple is more or less a recreation of the Pekopon base where the frogs do their usual planning or fooling around. It also contains a portal that allows them to travel between their two bases. Occasionally, their Pekoponian friends would end up traveling to the portal whenever they get roped into the Platoon’s Pantheon antics. |
| 583 | * They have been compared to both Zim and Ika Musume in regards to all of them being inept invaders, which can sometimes lead to petty squabbles between them whenever they get in their way of their conquest of Pekopon. Zim himself doesn’t take this comparison well as he is too self-centered to have anyone else conquer Earth but him. However, Ika is at least somewhat friendly whenever she’s around the frogs. The League of Super Evil is another group of comedic villains with a low success rate that they find themselves clashing with if they find themselves doing the same money-making scheme. Of course, them being too busy one-upping each other has predictably led to both sides failing. On the other hand, they seem to be on decent terms with Pinky and the Brain if because they can sympathize with someone who attempts and fails to take over the world. |
| 584 | * Being gods isn’t always easy for them as they have to deal with their share of enemies outside of Pekopon. In particular, they have to deal with Dib Membrane as he finds their goals to be similar to Zim’s. Unfortunately for Dib, he doesn’t get taken seriously. On a more serious note, there's also the Hazardous Combat Unit and the Black Ops, both who have been called to take down alien invasions in their home universes, on top of utilizing brutal methods to do so. They also try to avoid Cirno seeing how she has a hobby of freezing frogs and watching them thaw. |
| 585 | * That said, there are some alien invaders that they became friends (or at least on decent terms) with, particularly with [[Pantheon/{{Companionship}} Stitch]], who was assigned to do evil and eventually conquer Earth, but softened up after an encounter with an island girl named Lilo, reminding the frogs of their relationship with the Hinatas. Omni-Man is another alien invader they don’t mind even if they look past his violent past, as he too became a better person after staying on Earth and raising a family. |
| 586 | * As far as their interactions with other amphibian deities go, they get along fine with the Plantars who, like them, have met with humans Anne Boonchuy, Sasha Waybright, and Marcy Wu (though in the Plantar’s case, it was the humans who came to the frog world instead of the other way around). Suwako Moriya is another deity who has also befriended them due to her own fondness towards frogs as has Tsuyu Asui, who is more of a human with a frog Quirk. |
| 587 | ** One particular amphibian deity that has attracted the platoon’s attention is the Hypnotoad after they found out about its potential to mind-control people with just its stare. The frogs believe that they could take advantage of it by using it to hypnotize all of Pekopon to do their bidding. However, when Keroro got his hands on it, it turned out to be no different from the frogs as it just simply hypnotized ''them'' into watching its show. |
| 588 | * Not surprisingly, they seem to be on good terms with Kermit and Gonzo, especially since the former is obviously a frog and the latter is suspected to be an alien (even the Keronians are confused with what species Gonzo is supposed to be, as he doesn’t resemble any Pekoponian species they know). At one point, they were invited for a guest spot in The Muppet Show. Keroro accepted, thinking this would be another easy get-rich-quick scheme for them. As you can expect, a lot of shenanigans happened when they were at the show, namely the frogs trying their hand at muppetry, Kururu testing his inventions on Beaker, and a finale involving the Muppets and the Keronians sporting afro wigs performing to “Afro Gunso.” |
| 589 | * Given the fact that they happen to share the same creator, it’s no surprise that they would cross paths with the Kemono Friends, particularly with Serval and Kaban. The two were surprised with the platoon at one point showing up in Japari Park at one point, in which the frogs obviously take the form of human girls. Not to mention that they are also interested in Kululu's "We All Live Together" beam that the platoon would use to turn animals into humans and vice versa. |
| 590 | * Keroro may be considered the leader of the platoon, but he seems to be more interested in doing chores and goofing off than he is in actually invading Pekopon. In essence, he may well serve as a textbook example on how not to lead. |
| 591 | ** One of his favorite hobbies that he’s borderline obsessed with is building Gundam models. In fact, words could not express how excited he was when he found out about various Gundam deities as well as actual Gundams residing in the Pantheon. In particular, he likes hanging out with Sei Iori and Reiji as well as the Team TRY fighters after learning that they participate in Gunpla battles and would be happy to join in if asked. |
| 592 | ** Keroro also has an encounter with Space Sheriff Gavan, thinking he was his old buddy [[CaptainErsatz Space Detective Kogoro]]. After the confusion is cleared, he (along with the other Space Sheriffs) get along well with Keroro, even if the frog finds them less hammy compared to Kogoro. |
| 593 | * Tamama is the newest and youngest member of the platoon. He loves junk food and sweets (especially candy, cake, soft drinks, and potato chips), and living with the ultra-rich Momoka means he can have as many as he wants. Despite his cuteness, he has a HairTriggerTemper, a MASSIVE jealous streak, and an ability to fire his laser from his mouth whenever he’s provoked. Also, he ''loves'' Keroro. |
| 594 | ** Was excited to find out about there being a House of Food, where he visits every now and then whenever he’s craving for some snacks. There, he met Stocking Anarchy, whom he bonded with over their similar SweetTooth taste. Sometimes, he would even visit Stocking’s temple in hopes of her serving him his favorite sweets. It also helps that she sometimes reminds him of Momoka. |
| 595 | * Giroro is the OnlySaneMan and the only frog in the platoon who believes he can take the invasion mission seriously. He also has a crush on Natsumi ever since she defeated him in their first fight. |
| 596 | ** Whenever he’s not with the platoon, he can be seen in the House of Weapons practicing his shooting with his own oh-so-cool alien handguns or polishing them in his tent. At times, he finds himself competing in shoot-outs with those who use heavy firearms and/or {{Hand Cannon}}s such as Vash the Stampede and Heavy Weapons Guy. That said, both of them can be rather chummy guys to hang out with, especially when it comes to talking about their respective loved ones. |
| 597 | ** Oddly enough, he has shown a liking for trains every now and then (he was even a member of the Galactic Railroad Society at one point when he was a kid) and would sometimes visit the House of Land and Sea Travel to see Thomas the Tank Engine and the rest of his Steam Team. Surprisingly, Giroro and Thomas also share a fear of ghosts, and as such, would try to avoid the House of Ghosts or any ghost deity. |
| 598 | * Kururu (or Kululu) is [[TheSmartGuy the team’s resident intelligence officer]]. Incredibly smug and self-satisfied, Kururu is constantly inventing all ''sorts'' of outlandish devices, but few of these are actually meant to help the invasion... they're just for his own amusement. Loves giving Keroro just enough rope to hang himself, over and over and over again. |
| 599 | ** His antics has brought the attention of Dr. Heinz Doofenschmirtz, a wannabe evil MadScientist, who offers him to be his assistant. Kururu agrees and would sometimes tag along with him (whenever he’s not with his platoon teammates) if because Doofenschmirtz’s silly moments would make him laugh. He’s also fond of trickery and pranks and would visit the Hall of Joke and Pranks where the prank-related deities reside. Usually, he would supply his own inventions just to join in on the fun. |
| 600 | ** Apparently, he has an alternate costume known as Kururuko, in which he dresses up as a magical girl. Whenever he roams around the Pantheon in that disguise, the Magical Girl Sisterhood mistakes him for a new recruit to their team. |
| 601 | * Dororo is the team’s resident ninja (and the one who tends to get left out). Previously known as Zororo, he used to be a [[ShrinkingViolet painfully shy]], sickly child, and so clung rather desperately to his friendship with Keroro... something Keroro shamelessly exploited, leaving him traumatized to the point that any reminder of these abuses triggers his '[[HeroicBSOD Trauma Switch]]' and sends him into the nearest corner. Grew up to become an assassin, then got separated from the others on Earth and found acceptance and peace with a group of ninjas, leading to him changing his name and outlook on life. |
| 602 | ** He himself used to serve as a High Priest for fellow frog ninja Greninja. Even after he’s been promoted to Godhood along with his fellow platoon mates, they have remained good friends. Both can be seen training each other in the House of Combat with their ninja weapons. |
| 603 | ** He also has some respect for human ninjas Ryu Hayabusa and Jiraiya and sometimes trains alongside them as well. In regards to the latter, he is a fan of his writing and sometimes reads them whenever he’s not training and even likes his toad motifs. On the other hand, he can sometimes be a bit annoyed with the Toad Sage’s pervy antics. |

| 627 | * Oppose: [[BerserkButton ALL avian deities]] |
| 628 | * Opposed by: The Daleks |
| 629 | * Complicated Relationship with: [[Pantheon/{{Extraterrestrials}} Zim]] |
| 630 | * In its plan to conquer Earth, Mars sends out flying saucers through space carrying deadly weapons. There, the Martians destroy much of Earth’s population by burning the cities. Why? Because it's fun!!! They enjoy killing people and destroy buildings; they even play bowling with the statues at Easter Isles and pose for photos in front of temples as they are blowing up. |
| 631 | * It was one peaceful day in the Trope Pantheons, until several gods reported a fleet of flying saucers flying across the sky. Soon, reports of these sightings were brought into the Main House. When one of the flying saucers landed on the Pantheon, many people arranged a meeting with the Martian Ambassador. Of course, given their previous encounters with other malicious aliens such as the Harvesters, the welcoming committee was more cautious and sufficiently more prepared. However, everything didn’t go as planned as the Martians proceeded to vaporize everyone there. Several military forces from the House of War responded by fighting back against the Martian army, and unlike the Earth where they first struck, the advanced technologies in the Pantheon (as well as magic) made combat with these Martians a lot fairer. That said, the Martians weren't backing down without a fight, and their tech ''is'' advanced enough to '''negate a nuclear warhead''' '''''and use its contents for a helium voice gag'''''. |
| 632 | ** The destruction lasted for several days (but only within the House they landed in) until one day, a few of the Martians approached someone listening to some music on their headphones. Unfortunately for them, the music that the person is listening to is Slim Whitman’s [[https://youtu.be/HBuk1HXcz1k “Indian Love Call.”]] This caused their heads to burst like balloons. Eventually, the rest of the Pantheon took notice of this by broadcasting said song on the radio and using it to defeat their enemies. |
| 633 | *** Afterwards, many people are undecided with what to do with these Martians. However, an agreement is reached that they should stay in the Pantheon. |
| 634 | * Among several people who have been active in trying to take down the aliens, they include XCOM and the Men in Black, both of them being agencies dedicated to eliminating malicious aliens. Several space marines such as Master Chief, The Doom Slayer, and Commander Shepard also see the aliens as easy pickings. They're not too big on The Courier and the Sole Survivor due to the both of them killing their kin. |
| 635 | * They have a rivalry with the Harvesters on which alien invader race is the deadliest. Whenever the two races cross paths in the same area, expect more destruction than what one can expect. |
| 636 | * They don’t like the Doctor due to his ability to outwit the aliens. Their relationship with the Daleks isn’t any better, [[AbsoluteXenophobe for obvious reasons]]. The Daleks even believe that the Martians’ whole “invade and destroy” schtick is a little too similar to their own. |
| 637 | * For some reason, their language only consists of high-pitched “acks.” Attempts by linguists such as Dr. Louise Banks were made to translate their language in order to understand their culture, but the Heptapods warned her about the potential danger that the aliens possess. The Fantastic Four find the Martians to be somewhat similar to the Skrulls in regards to their jerkassery, which they don’t approve of. |
| 638 | * Regarding their interaction with other deities associated with their home planet, they get along with Marvin the Martian as he respects their plan in destroying the Earth. In turn, this made them enemies with Bugs Bunny as he’s an expert at outsmarting villains in comedy settings like Marvin himself. John Carter and the Martian Manhunter sometimes square off against the aliens and often foil their plans. As does Rei Hino, who was the former Princess of Mars. |
| 639 | * Their relationship with Zim is complicated. Personality-wise, Zim would fit them, but he was reminded of the time that the Mars of his universe was turned into a PlanetSpaceship, which he hijacked to smush Earth and then got into a dogfight with Dib, who was piloting Mercury. This led to Mars being flung out of the solar system. While the Martians didn’t like what Zim did to their home planet, they at least tolerated his comedic villainy. |
| 640 | * They are also enemies with Barbarella since she believes in a united and peaceful universe, which the Martians are against. Any time she attempts diplomacy towards the aliens, it usually doesn’t end well for her, which leads to [[Pantheon/EvilActions the Black Queen]] having to rescue her. |
| 641 | * At least once has Popeye had an encounter with the Martians, When several of them landed in Sweethaven, they were intercepted and then hypnotized by the Sea Hag into attacking Popeye for her. [[spoiler:They were nevertheless defeated by Popeye in a spinach-powered beatdown, which broke their hypnosis, and they betrayed the Sea Hag through DefeatByModesty (ItMakesSenseInContext) before leaving Earth out of a newfound fear of Popeye.]] |
| 642 | * Their presence in the Transformers universe is one of several instances where the Autobots and the Decepticons put aside their differences to take down the little green aliens. |
| 643 | * They are frightened to encounter Erma [[https://www.deviantart.com/outcastcomix/art/13-Days-of-ERMA-WEEN-Day-10-642449086 given that she once tried to dissect a living Martian]]. |
| 644 | * [[spoiler:Because of their weakness towards corny folk country music]], they have a disdain towards several {{Dreadful Musician}}s, notably Squidward Tentacles. The Martians are also enemies with the Think Tank since they’re allowed by the proper authorities to release their technological wrath against them with special enmity towards Dr, 8 for his Sonic Emitters with the Indian Love Call frequency he added specifically against them. Though at least they’re also LaughablyEvil, especially with [[ChewingTheScenery Klein, Borous, and Mobius]] on the scene. |

| 665 | * Shared enemies: All Pantheon/SouthPark deities, especially [[Pantheon/MatureHumor the South Park boys]], [[Pantheon/NicknamesAndRenames Chef]] and [[Pantheon/UnorthodoxCombat the New Kid]] (and Cartman most of all), [[Pantheon/PlainNeutral Agent K and Agent J]], [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} The SCP Foundation]], [[Pantheon/FantasticalLeadership The Global Occult Coalition]], the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction, Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood and Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfLaw, [[Pantheon/MonsterTypes the Brainspawn]], [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialAbilities The Pod People]], [[KillAllHumans anyone who wants to destroy humanity]] like The VUX, [[Pantheon/SpecializedNarratives Truman Burbank]] |

| 667 | ** The Joozians' enemies: [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi deities]] |
| 668 | * Opposes[[note]]applies to the Joozians[[/note]]: [[Pantheon/LocationsAndSettings Rick Sanchez]] (one-sided), [[Pantheon/CrueltyAndSadism Junko Enoshima]] |
| 669 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/DigitalPersonas Neo]], [[Pantheon/NarrativeActions Morpheus]], [[Pantheon/{{Phrases}} Trinity]] (both) [[Pantheon/{{Cultures}} America]] (The Visitors), [[Pantheon/PeopleOfFaith Shylock]], pacifists (The Joozians) |
| 670 | * Annoys: [[Pantheon/TyrannicalFigures Big Brother]] |
| 671 | * It was a day just like any other in 1997 when four boys in Colorado spotted a UFO in the sky, as it turned out that The Visitors had shoved a satellite dish up Eric Cartman’s ass. The four boys soon defeated The Aliens, changing Colorado (and TV censorship) forever. This bizarre behavior is in the favor of their bosses, the Joozians, who want them to put satellites in people's ass as part of their show: [[TrumanShowPlot Earth!]] Different races were put on one planet and see [[BlackComedy what wacky chaos]] breaks out. When people got wise the Joozians ordered the show [[DeadlyEuphemism cancelled]] since it'd lose its appeal, but through the power of blackmail the South Park boys convinced them to just [[LaserGuidedAmnesia wipe people's memory]] and the show could keep on running. |
| 672 | * The Visitors' presence in the Trope Pantheon was first discovered as a story that the Bedtime Stories Crew were discussing. They regularly talk about AlienAbduction usually due to TheGreys. That said, [[AnalProbing they admit this abduction]] might be the weirdest case yet. |
| 673 | * The Visitors aren't liked by the South Park deities, and given the agenda they serve it's understandable. As far as much of the Trope Pantheon is concerned it's the Joozians you have to worry about however, [[PunchClockVillain as the Visitors are merely doing their job]]. Since the "entertainment" of "Earth" involves war, destruction and human stupidity it's in their best interest to see that continue and naturally [[YouBastard people wonder what bastards watch the show]]. They oppose the GUAD [[SkewedPriorities for prematurely pulling the plug on the show]], however they don't like the GUAG or GUAL all that much as they find the show too vile/chaotic for their liking. [[NothingPersonal That said, the Visitors aren't seen with the same contempt as their bosses]]. |
| 674 | * The Joozians and Gleeman Vox are currently in competition over who can get more funding from viewers to fuel their ImmoralRealityShow. A lot of this distracted them from the Men in Black, SCP Foundation and Global Occult Coalition all joining up to counter-act their efforts to turn the Trope Pantheon itself into "The BloodKnight Channel". The GOC wanted to outright destroy them, while the SCP Foundation wants to contain their actions to understand what is waiting for them in space. As the Pantheon already had a number of exciting conflicts and interaction [[OnlySaneEmployee the Visitors argued they're fine just watching]] and have promised not to incite unnecessary conflict. This angered the Joozians, but [[WorldOfBadass as the pantheon would shut them down easily]] they were left mulling over this. |
| 675 | ** Despite this opposition the Visitors are actually thankful of the SCP Foundation and Men In Black for using amnestics and neuralizers since they prevent people on the show from finding out the truth. They're also terrified if a cognito/info/memetic hazard shows up on the show like [[Pantheon/{{Reclusiveness}} SCP-096's face]], though it's unknown if the Shy Guy could reach escape velocity to get them. |
| 676 | * Big Brother and the Party like the idea of monitoring the Earth, but are monumentally dissapointed that it is not used as a means of oppression and rulership. As far as he/they are concerned, [[BigBrotherIsWatching their surveillance]] should be used "[[BlatantLies prop]][[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans erly]]". The Joozians and Visitors accused them of [[FunHatingVillain hating fun]], [[VillainHasAPoint and they'd didn't even deny it]] [[RightForTheWrongReasons despite few moral deities finding "Earth" as "fun"]]. Truman was repulsed at the existence of the show "Earth" as it is ''just'' like [[TrumanShowPlot what he went through]], just on a much larger scale. The cast of ''Danganronpa [=V3=]: Killing Harmony'' were repulsed for similar reasons; they were made to kill each other for the viewing pleasure of the audience. [[spoiler:Her complicit role in the show is why Tsumugi Shirogane got employed by them.]] |
| 677 | * They have tried a second time to invade Earth, The New Kid gained the ability to teleport using his new anal probe, and defeated the aliens once more. Quagmire [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzAi_PzNLmY was under the impression they retired the anal probe]] and was curious if he could see it. Under new rulings if the Visitors wanted to get away with AnalProbing gods they needed their informed consent, and Quagmire agreed to get one installed if a) [[PowerPerversionPotential he could use it for "recreational purposes"]] and b) [[MundaneUtility it enhances the signal strength of his TV]]. Unknown to him the Joozians have used this to record his sexcapades and send it to an intergalactic porno site, but knowing his personality all he'd do is ask for a cut of the revenue. |
| 678 | * Despite probing people's ass and installing satellite probes, outside of the deal with Quagmire the Visitors [[EveryoneHasStandards don't like it when people take it in a sexual manner]]. The Visitors were also deeply annoyed by Bart Simpson somehow managing to crank call them [[UranusIsShowing to probe Uranus]]; this led to a misunderstanding with [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Haruka Tenoh]] and they've decided not to talk about it again. Also, though the Visitors have insisted they don't mean the Earth any harm and are just setting up recording with AnalProbing, Dib still believes that they are up to something truly nefarious. They've advised him to go after aliens like the Pod People as they supplant people and their individuality, and lord knows their bosses don't want something like that "to make the show boring". |
| 679 | * The Visitors believe cows are the dominant life form on Earth, and have learned to speak their “language”. Otis is particularly seen as proof of this, since he’s a TalkingAnimal cow. Further study has been made on Miltank, and farmers have profited on their ignorance by selling Moomoo Milk to them under the idea that it's some sort of exotic delicacy. Farmers were initially untrustworthy given their cattle mutilation, however the Visitors explained that only Carl did that and he's been punished accordingly, so they won't do that. Agent J and Agent K have agreed that it's of humanity's best interest not to correct him on who's the dominant life form. |
| 680 | * The Visitors tend to show up [[EasterEgg in blink and you'll miss it]] moments; outside the House of Extraterrestrials you need to really look to find them. They were rather surprised to find other gray aliens they didn't know about and wondered if there were other shows, and went to Roger looking for answers. Initially he panicked since he's not on good terms with his people (to be more specific [[spoiler:as he was to Earth as a crash test dummy for cheating on their emperor]]), but gained his composure seeing they weren't members of his species and explained the comparisons are coincidental. [[ComedicSociopathy He also thinks "Earth" is a pretty cool show]]. |
| 681 | * They don't care much for Junko Enoshima. [[EvenEvilHasStandards While this might be for ethical concerns from the Visitors]] given [[CompleteMonster how bereft of humanity she is]], the Joozians oppose her idea of a worldwide despair on the grounds [[ComedicSociopathy even their audience]] [[TooBleakStoppedCaring is going to start to grow numb to the show]]. They oppose the Brainspawn too, because while [[HumansAreMorons human stupidity]] is a vital part of "Earth" comedy [[EveryoneHasStandards their stupefaction rays will break even the audience's suspension of disbelief]]. Neither care, and the Brainspawn consider their and their audience's thoughts [[AbsoluteXenophobe as unbearable as any other]]. |
| 682 | * Even if they aren't [[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal maniacs]], anyone who wants to wipe out the human race can count themselves as on the Visitors and Joozian's blacklist [[EvilVersusOblivion since they're an existential threat the show they worked hard on]]...should they choose the South Park incarnation of Earth, of course; they aren't too broke up[[note]]well maybe [[PunchClockVillain the Visitors]] are[[/note]] if a non-show Earth is destroyed. On the opposite end of the coin, the Joozians often have to deal with angry pacifists trying to protest their show because they hate how they encourage human conflict and war for the sake of good ratings. It's more complaining than anything and the Visitors are left alone since they're only doing their job. |
| 683 | * America is more than a bit annoyed by the Visitors for their probing, as he doesn't like how they look like his alien friend Tony. Shylock is rather annoyed by the Joozians beyond just their ImmoralRealityShow since they see them as [[SpaceJews negative stereotypes]] with their gigantic noses, wealth, and control of the intergalactic entertainment business. In their defense the SpaceJews thing is done for comedy than to be offensive/racist, and their food is really good so most Jews don't mind. What they all do mind is that the Nazis [[PoesLaw thought they validated their bigoted views]]. Fortunately for all sides involved the Visitors defused the tension by pointing out [[EverythingIsRacist not everything has to do with race]], but this didn't stop the Nazis from still hating the Joozians and any media they control because of their ass-backwards racist nonsense. |
| 684 | * For the most part, they are OK with the Hall of Pantheon/{{Metafiction}}. Yes they don't want anyone on their show to be aware of the fact, but interacting with, say, Deadpool [[AudienceWhatAudience promotes more disbelief]]. ''Especially Deadpool''; they are considering "crazies" like him to discredit the idea people starring on "Earth" are in a TrumanShowPlot. By contrast, the crew of Nebuchadnezzar are considered a security risk as they fear they could convince people to take the idea of being in a simulation seriously, and reveal the truth of the Visitors to the Earth of their universe. Since their "show" is only the Earth of the South Park universe, however, their dynamic is more mutual dislike than outright antagonism. |
| 685 | * The VUX have sworn that if they can't cancel Earth by force, they will use "cancel culture" by trying to blackmail the Joozians with their "dirty secrets". They aren't taken too seriously as they know Admiral ZEX [[BileFascination regards Earth as a guilty pleasure]] and secretly wants the show to go on out of morbid fascination. It's probably for the best they haven't learned of how Kenny still has compromising photos of two Joozian executives "[[ExoticEquipment sucking each other's jagons]]" after a night of HookersAndBlow. Or the new compromising photos Rick Sanchez took of them after a night on the town. Since Rick like ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' the way it is he's not using the blackmail yet, but they are paranoid. They're also intrigued by the [[RecursiveReality mini-verse]]. |

| 707 | * Opposed By: The Houses of Pantheon/FriendshipAndCamaraderie and Pantheon/LoveAndAffection (ZEX included) |
| 708 | * Enemies: Pretty much every human deity in the Pantheon, even HumanoidAliens, but especially: ''[[Pantheon/{{Pragmatism}} The God-Emperor of Mankind]]'', [[Pantheon/AirBasedTravel Star Fox]], [[Pantheon/{{Personality}} Star Trek's Freudian Trio]], [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialAbilities The Blorg Commonality]], The Formics, [[Pantheon/FightingMindsets Koro-sensei,]] [[Pantheon/{{Transformations}} Baby, Frieza]], [[Pantheon/PhysicalAttractiveness Zarbon]], [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes The Dead Moon Circus]], [[Pantheon/FightingMindsets Vega]], [[Pantheon/{{Insects}} Queen Sectonia]], [[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance The Evil Queen]], [[Pantheon/GenderSexMiscellaneous Kuja,]] [[Pantheon/SingersAndPerformers Courtney Gears]], [[Pantheon/JoyAndHappiness Wander,]] [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Commander Shepard,]] [[Pantheon/{{Extraterrestrials}} Liara T'Soni,]] [[Pantheon/VillainousAttitude Lord Hater and Commander Peepers,]] [[Pantheon/MotivationsForEvil Red Skull]],[[Pantheon/MediaPresentation The Interspecies Reviewers]] |
| 709 | * Complicated Relationship with: [[Pantheon/TaintedFriendship SCP-1171-1]], [[Pantheon/LoveOther Charlotte Linlin]] |
| 710 | * The VUX are widely known for their FantasticRacism, and their intense discrimination against many aliens out in the galaxy due to them being hideous, but there has never been a race that disgusts them more than the humans themselves, and all the HumanoidAliens, which are far more common than in their home universe since many forms of Earthling media like to use RubberForeheadAliens. Even deities that most of the Pantheon would consider [[RuleOfCute cute or adorable]] sicken the VUX to their core, finding their appearances horrifying and [[UncannyValley unnatural.]] The fact that the Pantheon is full of human deities just makes them even more disgusted by the whole place. |
| 711 | * The VUX had somehow warped here on their own, outside of our own detection methods. They were first noticed when some deities in the Pantheon received a major distress signal from the Starship Enterprise. Star Fox was sent to help them out, and they all managed to find the Enterprise covered in green, icky parasites that seemed to prevent the ship from moving, though it could use its defenses. Falco immediately flew towards the big ship in an attempt to deal with whatever antagonist was behind the sabotage, against Fox's insistence. Carefully following behind, the rest of Star Fox found Falco's ship being covered in limpet parasites, and a bunch of blue alien starships slowly approaching it. Fortunately, Star Fox fended off the ships and managed to take down a majority of the attacking ships after removing the limpets from Falco's ship. |
| 712 | * After the Starship Enterprise was freed from the parasites, reinforcements were called to deal with the remaining enemy starships, who showed themselves to be the VUX, green tentacled aliens with a big eye, a very high standard of beauty, and a great distaste for human appearances. The Court of the Gods would learn how much they despised even having a glance at humans when a few VUX individuals sent there [[VomitChainReaction started to regurgitate upon seeing the Judge, and many of the human deities there also began to vomit from the sight as well.]] They quickly decided the VUX would ascend with the trope of HumansAreUgly and sent the VUX away so they could clean the place up. |
| 713 | * Many humans like to think that the name "VUX" is a {{Backronym}} for "Very Ugly Xenoform", which pisses off VUX that hear about such things, though being within a VUX's eyesight is sufficient for being hostile anyway. Even human deities [[MisanthropeSupreme that hate humanity]] are not welcome in their community. |
| 714 | ** AM is one of those that they will tolerate, however, since AM is just an AI and AM's desires to make humans suffer greatly amuses them, and often join in the fun whenever AM finds a victim to prey upon. |
| 715 | * Before their true motivations behind hating humanity were known, the VUX cited [[FirstContactFauxPas "The Great Insult"]] where their encounter with the first human captain to meet them went south upon the human Captain Rand mocking the VUX appearance under his breath while the VUX's translators were on, allowing them to hear everything, and from there, the VUX became bitter enemies of humanity. Some deities decided to apologize for the insult in an attempt to mend their tensions with humanity, until the VUX grew tired of the apologies and confessed that The Insult was just an excuse to oppose them, when they really just found the humans THAT ugly to the point that they just wanted to eliminate humanity for that alone, as [[EvilIsPetty petty as that reason may be.]] This ended up gaining the disgust of many deities who were not fond of the VUX's nature of using humanity's flaws to justify a far less rational form of hatred, especially the Formics, who suffered from a similar dreadful first contact with humanity. |
| 716 | * The fact that VUX have highly advanced [[UniversalTranslator translation technology]] that is never used for any friendly interactions annoys plenty of [[{{Omniglot}} deities who take pride in understanding many languages themselves.]] However, the VUX would not be able to keep it all to themselves, for another tentacled entity had their own plans. The VUX High Command would receive an urgent call from some VUX officer who supposedly found a device that could banish humans to some horrible dimension. When a VUX Intruder was sent to a small moon to meet with the one who sent the call, the VUX was accepted into the Intruder after a check-up to ensure it wasn't a human in disguise. However, once it was revealed that the device was a fake, the VUX officer revealed itself to be an imposter, the tentacled Koro-sensei who could emulate VUX biological structure far more easily than others, with a good disguise. Wanting to humble the narcisstic VUX, Koro-sensei quickly subdued all of the VUX crew and dropped them at the moon, and seizing the VUX Intruder for themselves, bringing it to the House of Science for its members to gradually reverse-engineer for themselves. For this incident, the VUX have declared Koro-sensei to be another sworn enemy of theirs. |
| 717 | * Shuma-Gorath is one of the few deities that they can have a non-hostile conversation with due to being far closer to their own appearances, and they do find each other's goals to be mostly compatible. The VUX hope that The Great Old One will turn the humans he conquers into something much less hideous for them. |
| 718 | * When it comes to opposing humans, they're willing to cooperate with the Mars People since their appearances are tolerable for them to look at. They disagree on how the humans they conquer should be dealt with, but the VUX are fine with any conclusion that guarantees that VUX children can grow up never knowing what a human looks like. |
| 719 | ** Due to sharing similar goals, the VUX will also send minor support to the Martians, but only ''barely'' tolerating them. As long as the Martians minimize face-to-face communication, they can get along. |
| 720 | * Considering their reputation for ugliness to humankind, it was speculated that the VUX could get along with the Blorg. However, such guesses were dashed when the VUX met one of the Blorg, then rudely demanded them to get out of their face. The Blorg weren't approving of the VUX's xenophobic attitudes and proceeded to get into a deadly scuffle with them. After the battle, a Blorg individual was asked about the reasoning behind the VUX's hostility. It was explained that to the VUX, the fungal appearance of the Blorg had resembled what the VUX interpreted as [[HalfBreedDiscrimination an abominable mixed breed of VUX and Mycon individuals]], and the VUX definitely didn't like the Mycon in their universe. |
| 721 | * Rumors are that the VUX are beginning to either create more of or promote some of their own forms of media, in collaboration with Bender and a few other human-opposing deities [[StartMyOwn to make a "better and VUX-friendly" form of the Pantheon]]. This has made Bender's claim to make his own Pantheon [[MemeticMutation with blackjack and hookers]] just a little more plausible. |
| 722 | ** SCP-1171-1 has also been a contributor to this alternate Pantheon, and the SCP does engage in some of the VUX's discourse and rants about humanity. To the SCP Foundation's dismay, and his own, SCP-1171-1 has been growing very attached to online discussions with the VUX, even though he does think the VUX's hatred of humanity is a tad too absurd in his opinion. For the VUX, they find the SCP's looks to be bareable and are willing to let him participate in whatever form of gossip the VUX indulge themselves in, since SCP-1171-1 hasn't made any offensive remarks to the VUX yet. |
| 723 | * Odio is a tolerated ally of the VUX when it comes to the destruction of humanity, as long as Odio doesn't take the form of a humanoid avatar, otherwise they can't even bare to look at him. Odio silently believes that the VUX, given their judgemental and prejudiced attitude, are not so different from the hateful humans he's dealt with in his own world, and doesn't have any desire to spare them when the time comes. |
| 724 | * The VUX ''thrive'' on the conflict caused by racism, and they've become frequent attackers of other deities with similar prejudices, including William Stryker, Teryn Loghain, and Mina Loveberry, the latter of whom also despises the VUX even more for their monstrous appearance, to the glee of the VUX that want her and the humans dead for similar reasons. |
| 725 | --> '''VUX Commander GOK:''' Watch everybody! We're going to kill the repulsive little monster now! |
| 726 | ** Red Skull thought that the VUX could get along with his own forces in order to oppose what they deemed as "inferior people", but the VUX have made clear that they don't want to deal with ''any'' human populations, and blasted his men away, asking them to come back [[HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster when they stop looking like grotesque creatures from VUX nightmares.]] |
| 727 | * The VUX populace pride themselves on beauty to the point of [[AttractivenessDiscrimination instantly judging others by their appearance alone.]] The lesson of "Don't judge a book by its cover" is utter blasphemy to them. Given their proud but warped standards of beauty, with human beauty being on the very bottom of their own scale of beauty, they would soon face the wrath of those that called themselves "The Rule of Beauty", who were offended by the VUX's sense of beauty, as the VUX found them all lacking in any substantial beauty. (Since Queen Sectonia isn't a human, the VUX claimed that Sectonia was the least ugly out of all of them, though still gross in their singular eyes.) Soon they were all at the VUX's throats, with the Evil Queen preparing her strongest spells just to strike their VUX Intruders out of the sky, with the others being willing to do the job with their own hands. Vega had the roughest time with the VUX since the VUX could instantly vaporize him with a well-landed gigawatt laser, which would eventually happen, with the one landing the killing blow [[BondOneLiner throwing a familiar insult to him:]] |
| 728 | --> '''VUX Commander BOF:''' Haha! Handsome fighters never lose battles! |
| 729 | ** From there, Queen Nehelenia of the Dead Moon Circus got involved, mocking some of the VUX for their hideous looks, only for them [[NoYou to retort back that no amount of magic could make her close to beautiful]], unaware of Nehelenia's normal appearance hiding her even uglier true form. Soon they too declared war on each other, with Nehelenia having the whole Dead Moon Circus set sights on the VUX as one of their most hated enemies yet. |
| 730 | * Courtney Gears found the squishy VUX to be ugly enough to [[SensoryOverload briefly overload her sensory circuits]], claiming that the VUX would benefit from being converted into something easier on the eyes. The VUX threw back the insult, calling her a "pathetic excuse of an Androsynth" that belonged in a freakshow with other humans. While still opposing the VUX, the robot was intrigued by the existence of the Androsynth from the Star Control universe, though she found little information on them in particular, only some odd StarfishAliens called the Orz, to her confusion. |
| 731 | * The Illusive Man's beliefs in human supremacy were quick to be assaulted by VUX detractors, who would rather not have humans be even more prominent anywhere. The both of them have made investments toward creating propaganda against each other. Some of the VUX have begun to enjoy making anti-humanity propaganda, which has earned much displeasure from many of the friendlier deities in the Pantheon. |
| 732 | * Finding almost everyone in the Pantheon to be deplorably hideous and easy to hate, they banned ''themselves'' from the House of Friendship and the House of Love to show how detestable the VUX believed them to be. Members from neither house really want to deal with them anyway. |
| 733 | ** Wander attempted to have the VUX be more open to better relations with humans, which led to the VUX inviting him and his partner, Sylvia, to their temple. However, the invitation turned out to be [[LuredIntoATrap an organized ambush]] that ended up with Wander and Sylvia covered with limpets, and unable to evade an assault of VUX Intruders. Some of the VUX mocked his attempts at friendship, finding them to be unsavory and disgusting, and claiming that they had better to do than to be [[EvilCannotComprehendGood corrupted by mingling with the likes of disgusting humans and humanoid aliens.]] The ships were quickly stopped by [[BigDamnHeroes interference from Lord Hater and his own army]], not letting the VUX have their way, claiming that only [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou he alone would be the one to eliminate Wander.]] |
| 734 | * Liara T'Soni has been repeatedly harassed and attacked by plenty of VUX Intruders since she reminds the VUX of the [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe the Syreen]], who were even her Followers. Eventually, Shepard himself has kept an eye on the VUX to minimize their attacks on any of his allies. The fact that their hatred of humanity is more petty than even the Illusive Man's beliefs has truly disgusted Shepard. |
| 735 | * Baby managed to find a lone VUX Intruder and possessed the VUX captain piloting it, but it didn't take long for the possessed VUX to find a mirror. The VUX was so disgusted at their new appearance that [[FightingFromTheInside they suddenly fought back against their possession]] and took out a ray gun, in order to [[DrivenToSuicide shoot themselves to death,]] killing that VUX and Baby in the process, with the ship self-destructing. After hearing about the news with the killed VUX captain, they learned of the GalacticConqueror Frieza, as well as his [[TheDragon right-hand man]], Zarbon, who prided himself on his beauty. Being another alien who found his human-like looks beautiful, the VUX decided to attack Frieza and Zarbon's temple, only for their assaulting fleets to be [[CurbStompBattle quickly wiped out.]] |
| 736 | * The VUX have shown much support toward the Persona universe's Nyarlathotep and his belief that HumansAreTheRealMonsters, if only since it would justify the VUX blasting humanity into oblivion from a moral standpoint, which lets them get past Nyarlathotep's ugliness. The Crawling Chaos does see humanity's penchant for disgust and discrimination in the VUX however, and believes the VUX and humanity deserve each other, though he doesn't frown upon the approval of the VUX. They still fuel the inner evils with humanity by the conflict they cause alone, so the VUX are tolerable in his book. |
| 737 | * Their hatred for the human race would eventually land them into big trouble with the Imperium of Man, who were willing to give back all of the harassment and resent to their alien foes in spades. Given the fact that the forces of the God-Emperor of Mankind were far more of a serious threat than the PunyEarthlings in their universe, the VUX fleets found themselves getting overwhelmed by their SpaceMarines and battleships, causing some of the VUX to reluctantly wish their former tactician, Admiral ZEX, was there to fight them off. And not much later, another fleet of VUX Intruders arrived led by none other than ZEX himself ambushed and pushed back the Imperium of Man through brilliant strategy and planning to prevent their enemy from annihilating the VUX. It did help that ZEX's own [[AbhorrentAdmirer "advances"]] toward the God-Emperor of Mankind himself creeped him out, and eventually the Imperium of Man was ordered to stop attacking the VUX, having already droven them away from their territory. They're still sworn enemies, but the VUX have gotten a bit wiser to not [[BullyingADragon harass the God-Emperor of Mankind,]] for now. |
| 738 | * The crew of the Starship Enterprise to this day dread being ambushed by VUX forces again, but when they heard about ZEX's "love" for humans, they've kept their emergency warp drives at the ready whenever they suspect that ZEX's ship was drawing near. |
| 739 | --> '''[=McCoy:=]''' You know, I'm not sure what I'm more afraid of: Being under attack by the entire VUX fleet, or being chased by Admiral ZEX ''alone''. |
| 740 | * Admiral ZEX was now part of the Pantheon with the rest of the VUX, and while he was noted to be far less hostile to humans than the rest of them, it turns out that this was only due to having what others called a BileFascination for ugly creatures, which made humans and similar species desirable for ZEX, though not [[CollectorOfTheStrange in the way many in the Pantheon would have hoped.]] He has his own temple separated from the rest of the VUX, being exiled by the VUX High Command in all but name, being a cultural outcast of the VUX, though ZEX does have his own fleet, as well as a modified [[AceCustom VUX Intruder given upgrades from Precursor Artifacts]]. While the VUX dislike him greatly, deep down they acknowledge that ZEX's genius and military expertise is the main reason that the VUX weren't demolished by enemy aliens in their universe and in the Pantheon, in spite of their slow and overall unwieldy ships. |
| 741 | ** While ZEX is far more friendly with the House of Friendship and Love, they don't want to deal with him either, due to his unsettling personality and his rather [[StalkerWithACrush perverted]] [[TheXenophile desires]] regarding plenty of the human deities there. Both Slaanesh and Desire of the Endless don't have a problem with ZEX, however, and ZEX finds the both of them to be highly delightful, though being rather cautious of the former's more excessive desires. |
| 742 | * ZEX also hosts a collection of various species of aliens that he deems ugly enough to collect for himself. After sending one of his own crew toward Trazyn's temple to be "collected", ZEX went over to meet Trazyn himself, and settled to have an alliance with him due to their shared enthusiasm in collecting lifeforms, and well as the knowledge he collects as well. They do get along well and have allowed each other to see their respective collections, though Trazyn does plan to take ZEX's collection for himself, though not yet for the time being. |
| 743 | * Big Mom has been very interested in getting a hold of VUX technology, particularly their ships (though they would need VUX captains to use) since their limpet weaponry would be ''extremely'' useful in preventing pirate ships or enemy vessels from infiltrating and fleeing her territory, which she has dealt with before and is beginning to grow sick of. She also wants Admiral ZEX's skills for her own forces, leading to the Yonko meeting Admiral ZEX in a secret meeting, giving him the usual political deal of having ZEX get married to one of her own children, in exchange for his service and his personal fleet of VUX Intruders. ZEX reacted to the arrangement far more positively than she expected, finding the whole exchange to be a ''complete steal'' in his opinion, though he also requested to have his own collection of creatures added to Big Mom's collection for the both of them to access, which Big Mom easily accepted. For the record, he doesn't mind the gender of whoever Big Mom decides to marry off to him, to the dismay of the (un)lucky spouse to be chosen for marriage within the distant future. |
| 744 | ** However, the rest of the VUX would be immensely upset at any official alliance with a human deity, not that ZEX cares for their opinions anyway, and has told Big Mom that she can deal with rebellious VUX in any manner she likes. In fact, the only other major obstacle for this potential alliance would be backlash from the VUX's superiors, the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za. Ever since the Ur-Quan ascended, ZEX has been worried of their potential punishment for this alliance, but Big Mom seems to be prepared, if not excited for their arrival. |
