Species

Vrellnexians

The Vrellnexians

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

A race of monstrous alien beasts which Team Coulson encounter on a mysterious space vessel.

Adaptational Nonsapience: In the comics they stood upright and engaged in commercial slave trading (even trying to enslave the Asgardians in their first appearance), while the MCU Vrellnexians seem to just be animals of prey.
Adaptation Dye-Job: Vrellnexians had a light grayish purple skin and red eyes in the comics, but here have a blend of gray and blue for their skin and have darker, less striking eyes.
Ascended Extra: The Vrellnexians are a pretty obscure alien race from Marvel lore, to the point that it was only due to a human calling them one by name that anyone made the connection.
Fangs Are Evil: They have very sharp fangs, which you will definitely notice when they kill you in painful fashion.
Insectoid Aliens: They are supposedly this, but have characteristics that are evocative of reptiles.
Rogues' Gallery Transplant: They were enemies of Thor in the comics, believe it or not, and the species have never menaced S.H.I.E.L.D. agents before.
Xenomorph Xerox: They've been designed to look closer to xenomorphs in comparison to their look from the comics.

Xartans

The Xartan

Appearances: Runaways

A long-lived race of shapeshifters.

Shapeshifting: Xartans have this ability.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: The introduction of this race sidesteps using the skrulls, another shapeshifting alien race whose roles from the source material they're taking. Incidentally enough, the similarities between the two has been acknowledged in the comics to the point that skrulls are hostile towards xartans for this reason.

Planets

Morag

In General

Morag

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) | Avengers: Endgame | What If…?

A planet whose civilization has become extinct a long time ago. This is where the Temple of the Power Stone is located.

Alien Sky: In the sky of Morag, two sister-planets or large moons are clearly visible.
The Bus Came Back: Morag appears for the first time at the beginning of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), and is even the first alien planet seen in the MCU (not including the Nine Realms). 5 years later, the planet makes a surprising reappearance in Avengers: Endgame when the Avengers travel back in time to retrieve the Infinity Stones.
Dramatic Thunder: In 2014, the planet has a thunderstorm the day Peter (and later the Avengers) come to find the Power Stone. It gets especially loud the moment Korath and his soldiers arrive, signaling that they are bad news.
Flooded Future World: According to Word of God, Morag is entirely covered by the ocean the majority of the time. However, every three hundred years, the water lowers enough for the surface of the planet to be accessible.
Ghost Planet: At some point, the planet had a civilization living on it, but something destroyed them a long time before and left the planet a volcanic ruin. It is strongly hinted to have been the deed of the Power Stone that's inside the Orb.
Mythology Gag: In the comics, "Morag" is the name of a Kree historical person who was one the first leaders of his people.
Water-Geyser Volley: There are lots of powerful geysers on Morag's surface. At one point, a geyser proves to be strong enough to propel Peter Quill's spaceship high into the air while he was trying to fly off the planet, nearly causing it to crash.

Morag Inhabitants

Species: Unknown

Citizenship: Morag

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) ^noteHologram only

An ancient civilization that lived on Morag but was wiped out under mysterious circumstances.

Alien Animals: They had pet dogs that look exactly like those from Earth.
Human Aliens: From what is shown by Peter Quill's holograms, they seem to be pretty much identical to normal human beings.
Posthumous Character: They all died out long before the events of the movie for unknown reasons, with all we can see of them being skeletons and holograms.
Ragnarök Proofing: Long after their civilization has been reduced to nothing but ruins, the forcefield protecting the Power Stone in the Temple Vault is still active.
Temple of Doom: The "Temple of the Power Stone" is an ancient vault within the ruins of an alien city that conceals one of the most powerful and dangerous artifacts in the galaxy. Subverted in that, contrary to Rhodey's expectations, the temple has no booby traps or anything aside from the forcefield protecting the Power Stone.
Urban Ruins: The only thing that remains of their civilization is an ancient city of ruined buildings.

Orlonis

Species: Orlonis

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 | Avengers: Endgame | The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

A species of rodent-like creatures that can be found on Morag and a few other worlds.

Bound and Gagged: While searching for Yondu's fin prototype on the Ravagers' spaceship, Groot finds an Orloni and binds it tightly with its branches before bringing it to Yondu and Rocket.
Butt-Monkey: These poor creatures have to be the most abused beings in the entire galaxy. Pretty much every scene they appear in, something bad happens to them:
- When Peter Quill goes to Morag to find the Power Stone in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), he starts kicking all the Orlonis in his path while listening to music, and even forcibly grabs one to use it as a microphone at one point.
- Some Orlonis are forced to participate in a bar game on Knowhere in which they are eaten one after another by a ferocious F'saki until there's only one left.
- At the beginning of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, some Orlonis get pushed around by Baby Groot on the Sovereign Homeworld, and one of them is even forced to be his ride against its will.
- Later, Baby Groot has to find a prototype head-fin on the Ravagers' spaceship to free Yondu and Rocket from their cell, but he misunderstands and brings them (among other things) an agitated Orloni that he has tied up.
- During Ego's Expansion, several Orlonis try to run away from the spreading spore on an unknown planet, but they aren't fast enough and get consumed.
- Upon arriving on Morag for the Time Heist in Avengers: Endgame, Black Widow kicks an Orloni away.
- Shortly after, 2014!Peter Quill shows up and starts kicking the Orlonis around and using one as a microphone once again before throwing it away.
- Cosmo killed one in the Holiday Special and dropped it at the other Guardians' feet as her "Christmas present" to them.
Eaten Alive: A few of them get eaten alive by a F'saki during a bar game on Knowhere.
Fantastic Vermin: They are treated as common pests that can be found everywhere in the galaxy, similar to rats.
Hiss Before Fleeing: After being kicked by Black Widow, an Orloni hisses at her right before running away.
Horse of a Different Color: During the battle against the Abilisk on the Sovereign Homeworld, Baby Groot sees an Orloni and decides to mount it to ride around, despite the creature's struggle.
Recurring Extra: They play minor roles in at least two or three scenes in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Avengers: Endgame, and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, making them the most frequently appearing alien animals in the MCU.
Run or Die:
- On Knowhere, the Orlonis are used for a bar game in which they have to run to escape from a hungry F'saki. The last one to get eaten is declared the winner.
- When Ego initiates his Expansion, they have no choice but try to outrun the spreading spore to avoid being consumed.
Sitcom Archnemesis: In Vol 2, they become this to Baby Groot, who's always hitting them, riding them or capturing them every time he sees them.

Sakaar

In General

Sakaar

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_3887.JPG

Appearances: Thor: Ragnarok | What If...?

"Fear not, for you are found. You are home. There is no going back. No one leaves this place. But what is this place? The answer is Sakaar. Surrounded by cosmic gateways, Sakaar lives on the edge of the known and the unknown. It is a collection point for all lost and unloved things, like you, but here at Sakaar you are significant, you are valuable. Here you are loved. And no one loves you more than The Grandmaster. He is the original, the first lost and the first found. The creator of Sakaar and father of the Contest of Champions. Where once you were nothing, now you are something."

A harsh and barbaric planet connected to many of the universe's wormholes.

Amazing Technicolor Population: Because of the planet's diversity, it's not uncommon to see a wide range of skin tones like red and blue.
Bread and Circuses: Really, the only thing that keeps a violent scavenger anarchy like Sakaar from tearing itself apart are the gladiatorial games that serve the double purpose of slaking the populace's rage and bloodlust, not to mention culling the numbers of rebellious warriors who can potentially start inconvenient revolutions.
Crapsack World: Sakaar is a Landfill Beyond the Stars that is ruled by an egotistical and lazy tyrant who frequently enslaves those who accidentally end up on his planet to fight in gladiator games for his own amusement.
Early-Bird Cameo: Sakaaran mercenaries appeared as antagonists in Guardians of the Galaxy ahead of their planet's proper debut in Thor: Ragnarok.
Gladiator Games: One of the planet's main attractions are its brutal arena fights. The planet's diverse population means many powerful and unique beings are available to fight.
Landfill Beyond the Stars: The planet has a massive junkyard filled with trash from all over the universe.
Mooks: Humanoid Sakaaran mercenaries serve as Ronan and Korath's primary henchmen in Guardians of the Galaxy. Many are also part of Thanos' army.
Multicultural Alien Planet: Because so many wormhole trips end on Sakaar, its population is very diverse and made of up beings from many different planets. Actual native Sakaarans don't even appear on the planet until The Stinger.
Narnia Time: Time works... differently on Sakaar, either as a cause or an effect of all the portals. Sometimes it appears to pass slower (Loki arrives on Sakaar several weeks before Thor, despite being thrown out of the Bifrost by Hela only seconds earlier), but on other occasions it appears to pass faster (the Grandmaster says he would be millions of years old elsewhere in the universe, and Valkyrie doesn't seem to have aged at all since first encountering Hela many millennia ago, before Thor and Loki were even born).
Portal Crossroad World: ... Kind of. It's really easy to end up in this junk heap, but somewhat harder to leave. Not too difficult, but by the time travelers continue their journeys they usually identify as Sakaaran - if only because time works differently on Sakaar.
Servant Race: The humanoid Sakaarans are servants of the Kree accusers and of Thanos
Spared by the Adaptation: In Planet Hulk, Sakaar is destroyed by the ship Hulk arrived in. Here, it survives after the Hulk's departure.
Super-Sargasso Sea: In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, any Blind Jump will add you to the endless stream of junk falling from the myriad portals hovering above Sakaar.
Unnaturally Looping Location: Once imprisoned on Sakaar and speaking with Korg, Thor tries to run around the gladiators' cell and determine the area's size and shape. But as soon as he disappears around the circle's bend he reappears right behind Korg.
Korg: Aw yea no, this whole thing is a circle. But not a real circle, more like a freaky circle.
Thor: This doesn't make any sense.
Korg: Nah nothing makes sense here, man. The only thing that does make sense is that nothing makes sense.

Native Sakaarans

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_4484.JPG

The native Sakaaran humanoid subspecies

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy | Thor: Ragnarok | Avengers: Endgame | What If...?

The brutal natives of the planet Sakaar. There are two types of Sakaarans, the more humanoid Sakaarans which served as underlings of Ronan the Accuser in Guardians of the Galaxy and the more insectoid ones appearing in Thor: Ragnarok. The former reappear as Mooks in Thanos' forces in Avengers: Endgame.

Alien Blood: They have yellow blood.
The Cameo: A few of them can be spotted in the crowds of the second post-credit scene of Thor: Ragnarok.
Creator Cameo: James Gunn plays the unmasked one in Guardians of the Galaxy
Dark Is Evil: They wear dark-looking armor and work with Ronan the Accuser, who himself is no bright daisy and is unquestionably villainous.
Insectoid Aliens: The native Sakaarans have bug-like appearances underneath their armor. Miek's subspecies is the most insectoid of the two variants.
Mooks: When Kraglin wonders how the Guardians will fight past an army of them, Drax says he thinks of them as "paper people", which Kraglin immediately agrees with, suggesting they're known for being easy to kill. Coming from Drax, who doesn't understand metaphors, this speaks volumes. Sure enough, the Guardians mow through them with ease, and Yondu takes on a squad of them single-handed before any of them can even move.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: There's very little that differentiates them from the Chitauri from The Avengers, seeing as how they're both grey alien Mooks that serve as underlings of Cosmic warlords.
Zerg Rush: The Sakaaran soldiers that serve Thanos and Ronan rely on their huge numbers to overwhelm their enemies.

The Son (UNMARKED SPOILERS)

See the Families page for information on Skar.

The Grandmaster's Court

The Grandmaster

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mcu_grandmaster_4.png

"It's main event time!"'

Species: Unknown

Citizenship: Sakaaran

Portrayed By: Jeff Goldblum

Voiced By: Humberto Solórzano (Latin-American Spanish dub), Gilbert Lachance (Canadian French dub), Leonardo Camillo (Brazilian Portuguese dub)

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ^note In The Stinger | Thor: Ragnarok | Thor: Love and Thunder ^note Deleted scene

"My name is Grandmaster. I preside over a little harlequinade called the Contest of Champions."

Brother of Taneleer Tivan, the Collector, the Grandmaster is the hedonistic ruler of Sakaar and the one behind the planet's gladiator games.

Accidental Misnaming: He's not very good with names, calling Asgard "Assberg" and Thor "Lord of Thunder" instead of "God", much to his annoyance.
Adaptational Comic Relief: The Grandmaster from the comics is a serious and dangerous villain, while his MCU counterpart is much more of a comedic goofball.
Adaptational Dumbass: In the comics, the Grandmaster is a brilliant schemer capable of devising the most complex tactics, to the point that that Thanos himself calls him "the strategist supreme" and considers him his most difficult opponent during his quest to collect the Infinity Gems. The MCU version of the Grandmaster, on the other hand, is a bumbling idiot who gets manipulated with ease by Loki.
Adaptational Dye-Job: He's not covered in blue skin like his counterpart in the comics, but he's got some blue accents in his costuming and makeup. (The director's twofold reasoning for this was that Goldblum had already played a blue-skinned extraterrestrial in 1988's Earth Girls Are Easy, and he wanted to emphasize the actor's natural charm.)
Adaptational Nice Guy: While shown to be evil, the MCU's Grandmaster does away with the worst aspects of both his comic book counterpart and the Red King from Planet Hulk. The Grandmaster in the comics delighted in being called "sorrow" by his victims, while the Red King was a sociopath that caused untold and needless destruction (such as unleashing alien parasites on the populace) because it was "his right, his duty, and his pleasure". The cinematic version is certainly a saint compared to them.
Adaptational Wimp: In the comics, the Grandmaster is an Elder of the Universe and nigh Physical God. Here, he doesn't display any real power at all aside from slowed aging.
Adaptation Species Change: He doesn't appear to be an Elder of the Universe in this version and is depicted more as a mortal with lots of influence. (That said, Goldblum has described him as the former in an interview by way of claiming that he was not affected by Thanos's Snap in Endgame.)
Affably Evil: The man is certainly a bit unhinged and, you know, enslaves people and forces them to fight to the death for his amusement. But he's also fairly polite and nice to his underlings, with standards and forging (incredibly odd) friendships with those beneath him.
Loki: He's a lunatic, but he can be amenable.
Alien Gender Confusion: The Grandmaster is an alien being and he's visibly confused about Thor's gender when he first sees him, though it doesn't stop him from hitting on him.
Alternate Self: He has variants on Earth-72124 and Earth-29929.
Ambiguously Related: Though the Collector and the Grandmaster are supposedly brothers per Word of God, there's nothing in-universe that reveals or even implies that this is the case.
Bad Boss: He's a downplayed version of this trope. He's a bit peeved that his second would think him so petty to execute someone for interrupting, but public executions are still a possibility for people who fail him.
Bait-and-Switch Comment: The Grandmaster tells a begging Carlo that he is "officially pardoned... from life" before he executes him with the Melt Stick.
Beware the Silly Ones: He's Jeff Goldblum Adam Westing as Ming the Merciless. Between his goofy personality, Porky Pig Pronunciation, and general Cloudcuckoolander behavior, it's hard not to smile and laugh at him. That all being said though, he also regularly kidnaps people and forces them to fight to the death for his amusement. Furthermore, he also randomly uses an ultra-tech staff to melt prisoners into disgusting, stinky puddles for little more reason than he can.
"Blackmail" Is Such an Ugly Word: Sure, The Grandmaster keeps hundreds of kidnapped warriors to fight in gladiatorial matches to the death, but "slave" is just such a mean word; he prefers the term "prisoners with jobs."
The Caligula: He's theatrical, maniacal, hedonistic, and lords over a civilization, which is not a good combination. Under his rule, Sakaar even uses slaves and hosts brutal gladiator fights like ancient Rome.
Cloudcuckoolander: Comes with the territory of being a Jeff Goldblum character, really, but yes, he is quite an odd duck.
Composite Character: In the film, he takes the Red King's role from Planet Hulk as the ruler of Sakaar and the one behind Hulk's enslavement.
Cool Ship: He has a big collection of ships, including one that he uses for his orgies and birthdays that ends up being used by Thor, Bruce Banner, and Valkyrie to escape Sakaar through the Devil's Anus.
Depraved Bisexual: Throughout the film, he shows attraction towards Valkyrie, Thor, Loki (who it is heavily implied he has slept with), his two harem girls, and in a deleted scene a pair of cotton plush tentacles. Truthfully, "bisexual" might even be underplaying it.
Didn't See That Coming: He certainely didn't expect Thor to be overjoyed rather than terrified when he sees that the Champion he has to fight in the arena is none other than Hulk.
Disc-One Final Boss: He's the antagonist of the Sakaaran portion of Ragnarok, but Hela serves as the main antagonist of the overall film.
Early-Bird Cameo: He's one of the dancers that appears during the Creative Closing Credits for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Even Evil Has Standards: He's somewhat disgusted by his assistant Topaz's brutality at times, such as when she suggests killing Loki for merely interrupting.
Evil Laugh: Watching Hulk brutally beat the crap out of Thor makes him have a little laugh.
False Reassurance: When the captured Carlo is terrified of being executed and tries to apologize for his faults, the Grandmaster tells him that he is pardoned, much to his great relief... However, he then clarifies that he meant "pardoned from life" and executes Carlo with his Melt Stick.
Fashionable Asymmetry: On his left arm, he wears a longer, golden sleeve that is absent on the right. Unlike most examples of this trope, it's more likely to establish him as eccentric rather than as awesome (while the Marvel Studios Visual Dictionary notes on his outfit say it's "for surprises").
Flat "What": His reaction when he sees Thor manage to slam the Hulk into the walls of the arena by hitting him with his own hammer during their gladiator fight.
Grandmaster: …What?
Gold-Colored Superiority: He rules over Sakaar and is the only Sakaaran shown to dress in gold.
Graceful Loser: After having been overthrown by the Sakaarans in The Stinger, he congratulates them on having won the revolution and tells them that they all deserve a pat on the back.
Guyliner: He wears blue eyeliner.
Hand Rubbing: He does this when the Hulk is about to enter the arena to fight Thor.
Hand Signals: In a deleted scene, the Grandmaster discusses several "universal signs" with Topaz after Loki and Valkyrie fail to understand his hand sign for "Go".
The Hedonist: His main desire is to be entertained, no matter who has to die to make that happen.
Horrible Judge of Character: He welcomes Loki, of all people, among his circle of friends. Of course, Loki is secretly plotting to overthrow him. Even after being told that he's the brother of Thor, the Grandmaster still trusts Loki enough to send him on a mission to stop Thor and Hulk from escaping Sakaar.
Huge Holographic Head: The Grandmaster projects his entire body standing over his city, as tall as a skyscraper, though he still talks in a normal, overly casual voice while addressing the city this way.
Human Alien: Take away his goofy clothes and makeup, and he looks no different than your average Earthling.
I Lied: Although he promised Thor to release him if he manages to defeat his champion, he treacherously activates his obedience disc once he starts to gain the upper hand on Hulk to ensure that he doesn't win.
Immortal Immaturity: According to him, he's millions of years old by any other planet's standards and Goldblum, he's even older than that, having been born shortly after the Big Bang itself. Judging by his hedonism, the eons clearly haven't taught him anything.
It's Like I Always Say: Apparently, every time Valkyrie comes to sell him another gladiator, he always compliments her by telling her she's "the best" since she brought him his champion, which is something Topaz is really tired of hearing.
Grandmaster: Topaz, about Scrapper 142, what do I always say? "She is the..." And it starts with a "B".
Topaz: Booze hag.
Grandmaster: No, "best." I was thinking about "best." 'Cause I always say you're the best.
Large and in Charge: Jeff Goldblum is already enormous (6' 4½" \1,95 m), and here he's playing an unequivocal ruler.
Large Ham: He's a Smug Snake utterly full of himself with a distinctively Jeff Goldblum delivery.
Laughably Evil: While he's an insane tyrant who delights in having his gladiatorial slaves fight to the death, he's also an eccentric and oddly affable goofball who utterly hams it up in the delightfully unique Jeff Goldblum style every time he's onscreen. Also, he prefers that you refer to his slaves as "prisoners with jobs".
Light Is Not Good: Even though he dresses in gold, he is depicted as the hedonistic ruler of Sakaar where he has people kidnapped and fighting in Gladiator Games for his own entertainment.
Minor Insult Meltdown: Subverted. When the Grandmaster is discussing Hulk's escape with Loki and Valkyrie. Loki speaks out of turn, which prompts Topaz to hand him the deadly melt stick. The Grandmaster is shocked and tells her to stand down.
Grandmaster: Why are you handing me the melt stick? He was interrupting. That's not a capital violation.
Mysterious Past: The twisted instructional "tunnel" that new champions ride through before meeting him calls him "the first lost and the first found". And he indicates that he may be millions of years old, possibly due to the strange temporal effects of Sakaar. With regards to how he wound up ruling Sakaar, that's all we hear.
Non-Action Big Bad: Even though he's one of the main villains of the film, he doesn't seem to have any fighting skills whatsoever and leaves the action to his henchmen. The most he does is use his Melt Stick to execute prisoners.
No Name Given: Unlike his brother, we never hear his true name (En Dwi Gast) on screen; merely his epithet.
Our Founder: He's the one who founded Sakaar, and his palace has a statue of himself holding a massive blaster over his head while a woman clings to his right leg in the hall, as shown when Thor and Loki fight some guards there during their escape.
Planet Baron: He is the founder of Sakaar and rules over the entire planet.
Public Execution: Following the disappearance of Hulk, the Grandmaster tells Loki and Valkyrie that he thought about killing them in a public execution due to their connections to Thor and Hulk, but instead he orders them to find these two and bring them to him.
Really 700 Years Old: Thanks to time being somewhat screwy on Sakaar, he's much older than he looks.
Related in the Adaptation: In the comics, he and the Collector consider each other "brothers" (since they are both Elders of the Universe), but aren't actually blood-related. Word of God is that they're actual biological siblings in the MCU, though this hasn't come up in the films. The non-canon theme park ride Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! references this in its queue with a painting of them playing checkers...capturing the moment Grandmaster Rage Quits and upsets the board while the Collector looks on smugly.
Sadist: His reactions during Thor's gladiator match with Hulk suggest he's less interested in watching the combat as he is watching his champion beat people to death.
Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: Most of the people who end up on Sakaar are captured by his Scrappers and brought to the Grandmaster to be enslaved. Even the Grandmaster himself seems a little uncomfortable with the fact that he owns slaves and prefers them to be referred to as "prisoners with jobs".
So Proud of You: Played for Laughs. He says this to the Sakaarans who managed to overthrow him in The Stinger.
Grandmaster: I just gotta say, I'm proud of you all. This revolution has been a huge success. Yay, us!
Terms of Endangerment: He calls Thor "my friend" after having him captured to force him to fight in his arena, which is something Thor doesn't appreciate at all.
Grandmaster: I preside over a little harlequinade called the Contest of Champions, people come from far and wide to unwillingly participate in it. And you, my friend, might just be part of the new cast. What do you say to that?
Thor: We're not friends, and I don't give a shit about your games!
That Makes Me Feel Angry: He loudly expresses his frustration to Loki and Valkyrie after Thor and Hulk have escaped his palace.
Grandmaster: I'm upset! I'm very upset!
That's What I Call "X"!: The Grandmaster says this after Thor agrees to fight his Champion to win his freedom.
Thor: Fine, then point me in the direction of whoever's ass I have to kick!
Grandmaster: That's what I call "contender"!
Time Abyss: According to Goldblum, this version is millions of years old. He even explains that time in Sakaar passes much slower than in other planets.
The Grandmaster: Time works real different around these parts. On any other world, I'd be like millions of years old, but here on Sakaar...
Too Important to Walk: When a captive Thor is brought to him, the Grandmaster has his bodyguard Topaz push his seat closer to him so that he can get a better look at his prisoner.
Uncertain Doom: The Stinger shows him emerging from his crashed ship surrounded by thousands of revolutionaries, all silently staring at him. He tries to present himself as being a good sport and congratulating them on their rebellion, but the scene ends before we see whether or not the revolutionaries decide to kill him. In the Team Darryl version of events, he winds up on Earth after either escaping or being exiled.
Underestimating Badassery: He doesn't seem to believe that Thor stands any chance against his Champion, and is quite surprised to see him not only put up a good fight but even gain the upper hand.
Villain of the Detour: While the Big Bad is Hela, Thor and the Hulk spend a good chunk of the movie trying to escape from the Grandmaster, who's an unrelated villain with no particular ties to the situation with Hela and vanishes from the narrative as soon as Thor gets back to Asgard.
Who Are You?: After buying Thor from Valkyrie, he is curious to know who his new property really is.
Grandmaster: Here's what I wanna know. Who are you?
Thor: I am the God of Thunder!
Grandmaster: I didn't hear any thunder, but out of your fingers, was that sparkles?
The Wonka: A complete goofball who is nonetheless the undisputed ruler of Sakaar, so he must be doing something right. Fittingly, he appears to subject newly recruited prisoners with jobs to an introduction backed by the music for "Pure Imagination".

Loki

See his page.

Carlo

Species: Unknown

Citizenship: Sakaaran

Portrayed By: Steven Oliver

Appearances: Thor: Ragnarok

A prisoner of the Grandmaster.

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: When the Grandmaster comes to confront him following his capture, Carlo desperately begs for his forgiveness. The Grandmaster ultimately pardons him... from his life.
An Alien Named "Bob": Even though he's an alien, he has a pretty mundane human name.
Clashing Cousins: The Grandmaster refers to him as his cousin, but that doesn't stop him from capturing and executing him.
Doomed Fellow Prisoner: He serves as another prisoner that Thor meets after his capture who is promptly executed right next to him by the Grandmaster with the "Melt-Stick".
Face Death with Despair: He is so shaken with fear during his execution that he can barely articulate his words. While melting to death, he tries in vain to implore Thor to help him.
The Gambling Addict: A deleted scene reveals that the reason the Grandmaster had him arrested and executed was because he had been gambling too much.
Hope Spot: When Carlo apologizes for his faults, the Grandmaster tells him that he is pardoned, much to his great relief. However, he then clarifies that he meant "pardoned from life" and executes Carlo with his Melt Stick.
I'm Melting!: The Grandmaster uses his Melt Stick to execute him, causing his body to melt into a blue goo.
Rubber-Forehead Alien: He mostly looks like a human with lots of makeup on.
Tuckerization: The name "Carlo" is a reference to Carlo Pagulayan, who worked on the Planet Hulk comic book.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He only appears in one scene before being killed by the Grandmaster.

Sakaaran Guards

Topaz

Species: Unknown

Citizenship: Sakaaran

Affiliation(s): Sakaaran Guards

Portrayed By: Rachel House

Voiced By: Olivia Mercenario (Latin-American Spanish dub), Catherine Hamann (Canadian French dub)

Appearances: Thor: Ragnarok

The Grandmaster's second-in-command.

Adaptation Dye-Job: Topaz has red hair in the comics but black in the MCU.
Adaptational Ugliness: Relatively speaking. The MCU's take on Topaz isn't particularly ugly by real-life standards, but the normal-looking, middle-aged, heavyset woman she appears as is still quite visibly divergent from the Green-Skinned Space Babe with an Impossible Hourglass Figure she appears as in the comics◊.
Adaptational Villainy: From a heroine in her own right in the comics to an evil henchwoman of The Grandmaster.

Adaptational Wimp: In the comics, Topaz is a formidable warrior with superhuman strength and agility. She doesn't show any of these abilities in the MCU.
Age Lift: She looks like a middle-aged woman, while the Topaz from the comics has a much younger appearance.
Alternate Self: She has a variant on Earth-72124.
Brutal Honesty: A common way for her snark to manifest. For example, when the Grandmaster reminds her he doesn't like the word slaves...
Topaz: Fine. The prisoners with jobs are revolting.
Canon Foreigner: She is a character from Malibu Comics' Ultra Force originally. Crossovers between Malibu Comics and Marvel Comics characters have not been unheard of however, such as in Avengers/Ultraforce.
Comically Missing the Point: At one point, Topaz reports to the Grandmaster about the ongoing revolution and uses a term that he dislikes.
Topaz: The arena's mainframe for the obedience disks have been deactivated, and the slaves have armed themselves.
Grandmaster: [uncomfortable] I don't like that word.
Topaz: Which? "Mainframe"?
Grandmaster: No. Why would I not like "mainframe"? No, the "S" word.
The Comically Serious: Compared to the Grandmaster, her very straight and outright violent persona is a stark contrastbthat generates a lot of humor in their interactions.
Composite Character: As well as a Decomposite Character, as she takes Caiera's role as the personal bodyguard of Sakaar's king, while the rest of her stoyline is redistributed to Valkyrie.
Dark Action Girl: She's the Grandmaster's muscle and easily his most competent (loyal) underling. We never see her engage in physical combat, but when the heroes attempt to escape Sakaar aboard a stolen ship she gives chase in another craft, and proves more dangerous than all of the other pursuers combined.
Deadpan Snarker: Her extremely dry wit contrasts sharply with the Grandmaster's energetic, foppish sense of style and humor.
Death by Adaptation: She appears to die in the crash of her starship, whereas her comic book counterpart is still alive.
Disproportionate Retribution: She suggests to use the melt-stick on Loki because he interrupted the Grandmaster. The Grandmaster himself is shocked, and a bit offended.
The Dragon: Topaz is the Grandmaster's second-in-command.
Evil Laugh: She lets out a cruel laugh after shooting down Valkyrie's starship.
Fatal Fireworks: While chasing Bruce Banner, her starship gets bombarded by fireworks, causing her to lose control of her course and crash to her apparent death.
Human Alien: She looks entirely and completely human, despite presumably being a member of an alien species.
In Name Only: She barely resembles or acts like her comic counterpart.
Jerkass: She doesn't even try to hide her disdain for Valkyrie, whose she's always trying to belittle or insult — much to the Grandmaster's annoyance.
More Despicable Minion: Not that the Grandmaster is a saint by any means, but Topaz is even more violent and ruthless than he is. At one point, she suggests to kill Loki with the Melt Stick just for interrupting him, which is something even the Grandmaster thinks is going too far.
Number Two: She's the Grandmaster's main henchwoman.
Oh, Crap!: She has one just before crashing her ship into a rock after being blinded by the Grandmaster's ship's fireworks when chasing Bruce Banner up to the Devil's Anus.
The Rival: She openly loathes Valkyrie because she doesn't hold Sakaar's Scrappers in very high regard and also most likely because Valkyrie is in the Grandmaster's good graces.
Sadist: She enjoys the pain and discomfort of others.
Servile Snarker: She obeys every order of the Grandmaster but it doesn't prevent her from voicing her opinion on the people he likes.
Tribal Face Paint: Wears white markings just like Valkyrie, although they are considerably more elaborate.
Uncertain Doom: During the airship chase on Sakaar, Banner manages to trick her into crashing into an outcropping of trash, totaling her ship. Her fate beyond that point is unknown, and she doesn't appear alongside the Grandmaster during the second Stinger. Unused versions of the ending show her escaping with the Grandmaster, which possibly indicates that she may have survived.
Wronski Feint: During the starship chase, Banner accidentally activates fireworks which blocks the view of Topaz as she's pursuing him. When Banner heads towards a big rock, he simply swerves at the last second, while Topaz doesn't have time to react and crashes into it.

Sakaaran Guards

Citizenship: Sakaarans

Affiliation: Sakaaran Guards

Appearances: Thor: Ragnarok

The guards of the Grandmaster's palace.

Ambiguous Robots: It's possible that they might be Mecha-Mooks, as we can see sparks coming out of their bodies after some of them are taken down by Thor and Loki.
Boom Stick: The Sakaaran guards' spears can fire laser beams, as shown in a deleted scene where they try to shoot some bat-like creatures that got into the palace.
Death Flight: At one point in the starship chase, Thor jumps on top of a Sakaaran guard's ship, rips off the roof and grabs the piloting guard to throw him away, presumably causing him to die from the fall.
Faceless Goons: We never see their faces, or the rest of their bodies for that matter, as they all wear armors with helmets that cover them completely.
Forced Friendly Fire: During the starship chase, Valkyrie jumps on a Sakaaran guard's ship and pushes his turret cannon towards the ships of the other guards to make him shoot at them.
Grievous Harm with a Body: When Thor goes to steal the Grandmaster's starship, he dispatches a group of Sakaaran guards by throwing Loki at them.
Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Unsurprisingly, none of them are able to hit the heroes with their shots, even when they are fully exposed in the middle of a hallway. During the starship chase, only Topaz manages to damage and eventually blow up Valkyrie's ship with her shots, but its occupants have already gotten away by then.
Mooks: They are the Grandmaster's army of evil soldiers who are mostly there to be beaten up, shot down and thrown to their death by the heroes.
Ray Gun: One of their main weapons is the Sakaaran Laser Rifle, which fires energy beams.
Recoil Boost: When a Sakaaran guard points his laser rifle at Loki, Thor forces him to fire into the ground, and the laser beam propels the guard several meters up in the air. It helps that the power pack likely exploded.
Use Their Own Weapon Against Them: During their escape from Sakaar, Thor and Loki use Sakaaran rifles to shoot at the guards.

Scrappers

Scrapper 142 / Valkyrie

See Asgard

Lead Scrapper

Species: Unknown

Citizenship: Sakaaran

Affiliation: Sakaaran Scrappers

Portrayed By: Cohen Hollway

Appearances: Thor: Ragnarok

The leader of the Scrappers.

Amazing Technicolor Population: He basically looks like a human with chalky white skin.
I'm a Humanitarian: He's more than happy to eat other humanoid aliens, such as Asgardians. He first tries to capture Thor to eat him when he refuses to become an arena fighter, and shortly after he tries to do the same with Valkyrie.
Kneel Before Zod: After Thor tells him that he doesn't want any trouble, the Lead Scrapper declares his intention to eat him and demands that he get on his knees.
Lead Scrapper: It is food! On your knees.
Ludicrous Gibs: Valkyrie uses her ship's blasters to blast him and most his men to smithereens.
Malevolent Masked Man: He initially wears a mask, though he takes it off before he starts talking to Thor.
Morton's Fork: Upon meeting Thor, he asks him wether he's a fighter or just food. If he's the former then he'll be enslaved and forced to fight in the Sakaar arena until he dies, and if he's the latter then he's going to be promptly devoured, so he's screwed either way.
Net Gun: He uses a big gun that shoots electric nets able to incapacitate any target, even someone as powerful as Thor himself.
No Name Given: His actual name is unknown, he's only referred to as "Lead Scrapper" in the credits.
Oh, Crap!: He has a surprised look when he sees Valkyrie deploy her ship's blasters and prepare to fire on them.
Tribal Face Paint: Much like Valkyrie, he has markings on his face. It seems to be an attribute of the Scrappers.
Underestimating Badassery: He doesn't take Valkyrie very seriously when she confronts the Scrappers and threatens to go through them. He even tries to attack her with his men, thinking she's just another meal for them to eat. Ten seconds later, they all get blown to bits by her ship's blasters before any of them can even get close to her.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He is killed by Valkyrie after appearing in only one scene.
Would Hit a Girl: When Valkyrie steps in to prevent the Scrappers from eating Thor, he decides to eat her as well and tries to attack her with his men.

Scrappers

Citizenship: Sakaarans

Affiliation: Sakaaran Scrappers

Appearances: Thor: Ragnarok

A group of scavengers who scour the junkyards of Sakaar to find stranded people, either to capture them and sell them to the Grandmaster as arena fighters or to eat them.

Faceless Goons: All the Scrappers wear masks over their faces, with their leader being the only one to remove his and reveal his actual face.
I'm a Humanitarian: They apparently eat anyone they find in the junkyards who refuse to become a arena fighter, including other humanoid aliens like the Asgardians.
Kick Them While They Are Down: After Thor is brought down by an electric net, the Scrappers gang up on him and proceed to brutally beat him up.
Ludicrous Gibs: Most of them are blown to smithereens when Valkyrie shoots them with her ship's blasters, with only one surviving.
Malevolent Masked Men: They are cannibalistic slavers who wear creepy masks.
Mooks: They serve as yet another group of minor antagonists who only appear to get kicked around by Thor and then slaughtered by Valkyrie in order to show how badass these two are.
Mugging the Monster: They try to attack Thor after his arrival in Sakaar to eat him, but even without his hammer he manages to beat off several of them. Later, they decide to go after Valkyrie as well, only to be gunned down by her ship's blasters.
Punched Across the Room: Twice. At the beginning of his fight, Thor grabs one of the Scrappers and throws him several hundred feets away. Later, Valkyrie does the same with the last surviving Scrapper.
Sole Survivor: When Valkyrie shoots at them with her ship's blasters, only one Scrapper manages to make it out alive, though she throws him into the distance shortly after so he probably dies anyway.
Too Dumb to Live: After Valkyrie has gunned down all of his crewmates except him, the last surviving Scrapper still tries to attack her by himself. It goes as well as you might expect.
The Voiceless: Aside from the leader, none of the Scrappers speak a single intelligible word.
Would Hit a Girl: They're all perfectly willing to follow their leader when he decides to go after Valkyrie, and one of them even tries to hit her with a club.

The Voiceless: Aside from Korg, none of the other gladiators have any dialogue.
Win Your Freedom: The Grandmaster claims that any gladiator who defeats his champion is freed from their servitude. However, the fight between Thor and Hulk shows that he activates the obedience discs whenever the gladiators are starting to win in order to ensure that they remain his prisoners.

A race of Rock Monsters.

Aerith and Bob: Among the known Kronans in the MCU we have the names Korg, Ninny the Nonnie... and Dwayne.
Bizarre Alien Biology: Being Rock Monsters aside, the only part of a kronan's body essential to their survival isn't their heart or their brain or anything else you might suspect... but their mouth. So long as a kronan's mouth survives, the rest of their body can be destroyed and regrow over time.
Bizarre Alien Reproduction: Kronan babies are made by two Kronans holding hands over a lava pit for a long time. In the end, Korg makes a baby with a Kronan called Dwayne.
Carry a Big Stick: All Kronans seen so far use large clubs as their preferred weapons.

Berhert

In General

Berhert

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

A planet covered with forests.

Adapted Out: In the comics, Berhert is the homeworld of the Sagittarians. In the MCU, the planet seems uninhabited.
Alien Sky: The planet has four moons of various sizes looming in the sky.
Conveniently Close Planet: It is the nearest habitable planet to the Sovereign Homeworld, requiring only one hyperspace jump to reach it. This is quite convenient for the Guardians of the Galaxy when they are chased by the Sovereign fleet and need to make an emergency landing.
Hollywood Darkness: Justified during the Ravagers' ambush scene, as the planet has several huge full moons.
Weird Moon: There are at least four moons in Berhert's orbit, all in close proximity, which makes you wonder why they haven't collided with another yet.

Vyloos

Species: Vyloos

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 | I Am Groot

A species of avian creatures that reside on Berhert and Grundar.

Aardvark Trunks: As shown in I Am Groot, Vyloos have pretty long and flexible trunks.

Ascended Extra: In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the Vyloos only appear briefly as background elements. However, a Vyloo eventually plays an active role in the second episode of I Am Groot.
Black Bead Eyes: Their eyes are round and black, which adds to their cuteness.
Just Desserts: The Vyloo that climbed onto Baby Groot's wooden fort and knocked him to the ground is then attacked and presumably eaten by a Manta Bird.
Killer Rabbit: According to Word of God, the Vyloos may look cute and harmless but they can become very aggressive if they'e startled, with many Krylorians having lost their noses getting too close to them.
Laser-Guided Karma: Just after taking over the wooden fort from Baby Groot in "The Little Guy", a Vyloo gets grabbed by a Manta Bird to be eaten.
Overly-Long Tongue: Their tongues are rather long, as seen when a Vyloo uses its tongue to scare Baby Groot off his wooden fort in the episode "The Little Guy".
Ridiculously Cute Critter: They are quite adorable with their large black eyes and fluffy bodies.

Other Fauna

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

The other creatures that inhabit Berhert.

Alien Animals: Other than having 6 legs, Berhert's spiders are very similar to those from Earth.
Disturbed Doves: A flock of winged creatures flies away when the Milano crashes on Berhert.
Fantastic Fauna Counterpart: The planet's fauna isn't too different from that of Earth, such as having bird-like and spider-like creatures.
Four-Legged Insect: The spiders of Berhert have only six legs instead of eight. Justified, since they are of alien origin.

Contraxia

In General

Contraxia

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 | Avengers: Endgame

A snowy planet regularly frequented by the Ravagers and other criminals.

Bad Guy Bar: The Iron Lotus seems to be the Ravagers' favorite hangout. Other unsavory people can also be found in the bars of Contraxia, such as Howard the Duck or Rocket Raccoon.
Bar Full of Aliens: The planet's strip bars are frequented by customers of races from all over the galaxy, including anthropomorphic ducks and raccoons.
The Cameo: The planet Contraxia can be seen briefly during the final battle of Avengers: Endgame when a Sling Ring's portal is opened to bring in the Ravagers (and Howard the Duck).
Den of Iniquity: Both Yondu's and Stakar's Ravager Clans are shown to often come to the Iron Lotus to have fun with the robotic prostitutes.
The Ghost: In Infinity War, Rocket makes a passing mention of Contraxia when he explains how he got the electronic eye that he gives to Thor, but the planet doesn't actually appears in the film.
Illegal Gambling Den: Some gambling games between criminals are organized in Contraxia. Rocket mentions that he won 100 credits in a bet at one point, and then he stole the loser's electronic eye while he was sleeping on top of that.
Outlaw Town: Contraxia is a place where criminals like the Ravagers or Rocket Raccoon come to enjoy themselves. They spend their money on alcohol, robotic prostitutes or gambling.
A Planet Named Zok: The name of the planet includes an "R" and an "X".
Pleasure Planet: It's a planet where Space Pirates and other criminals go to relax. They can visit brothels, get drunk in bars, or play gambling games.
Red Light District: The planet is full of brothels and strip clubs, notably the Iron Lotus.

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

The owner of the Iron Lotus.

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: When Stakar sees Yondu at the Iron Lotus and declares that the 99 Ravager Clans under his command will never come to this place again, the Sneeper Madam runs to him and tries to beg him to change his mind, only to be rudely pushed away.
Sneeper Madame: Please, Sir! Please! Please!!
Bald of Authority: She is in charge of the brothel Iron Lotus and doesn't have any hair on her head, unlike the prostitutes in her service (Granted, this seems to be trait of her species).
Miss Kitty: This old lady runs the Iron Lotus, a brothel of android prostitutes.
No Name Given: Her actual name is not known, she is only referred to as "Sneeper Madame" in the credits.
Rubber-Forehead Aliens: Like all members of the Sneeper species, she doesn't look very different from a human, aside from her skin, her eyes, and her ears.

Robot Courtesans

Species: Androids

Citizenship: Contraxians

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

The android prostitutes who work at the Iron Lotus.

All There in the Script: They are only called "Robot Courtesans" in the credits.
Eye Lights Out: When they switch off, the pupils in their eyes fade out.
Family-Friendly Stripper: Some of them are seen dancing for the benefit of the customers, but their naughty bits are covered by metal parts.
Fanservice Extra: They only appear in the film for a few moments, but during their brief presence they provide a bit of eye candy for the viewers.
Fem Bot: Each of them has a feminine appearance. Considering that all of their customers seem to be males, this is not exactly surprising.
The Oldest Profession: They work in a brothel as sex workers.
Sex Bot: Obviously, as they are androids designed to be prostitutes. We even see Yondu dressing back inside a cosy room, after having hired the services of one of them (who then deactivates herself).
Tinman Typist: The robot courtesan Yondu sleeps with switches herself off afterwards by pressing a button on the side of her own head.

Titan

In General

Titan

Appearances: Avengers: Infinity War | Avengers: Endgame | Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

A desolated planet that was home to the Titans before their extinction.

Adaptation Deviation: In the comics, Thanos's homeworld is the real-life moon of Saturn named Titan. In the MCU, Titan is a fictional planet outside of the solar system.
Binary Suns: The planet Titan has two suns. One large and yellow, with the other being smaller and blue.
The Cameo:
- The planet Titan appears briefly at the end of Avengers: Endgame when Doctor Strange opens a Sling Ring portal to allow himself, Spider-Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy to go to Earth and join the final battle against Thanos.
- During one scene of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Professor Charles Xavier uses his telepathic powers to show Doctor Strange a vision of the aftermath of the battle between the Illuminati and the Earth-838 version of Thanos that took place on Titan.
Colony Drop: During his fight against the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy on Titan, Thanos uses the Power and Space Stones to shatter one of the moons and then rain the fragments on the heroes.
Derelict Graveyard: Since the extinction of the Titans, the planet is covered with wrecked spaceships.
Detonation Moon: One of Titan's moons gets blown up when Thanos uses the Infinity Stones on it to hurl the debris at the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Ghost Planet: Titan suffered apocalyptic disaster related to their resources. All that's left is massive amounts of wrecked buildings and walkways.
Urban Ruins: The place where the heroes confront Thanos resembles the ruins of an alien city.

Titans

Appearances: The Avengers ^note In The Stinger | Guardians of the Galaxy | Avengers: Age of Ultron ^note In The Stinger | Avengers: Infinity War | Avengers: Endgame | What If...? | Eternals ^note In The Stinger | Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

A race of humanoid aliens that is almost extinct.

Adaptation Species Change: The Titans in the comics were an offshoot of Eternals called Titanian Eternals. Aside from Eros, there is no indication if that is still the case here as they appear to be treated as if they were a separate species.
Dying Race: The race is nearly extinct, with Thanos being the only known survivor, and he dies during the events of Avengers: Endgame. However, it's revealed in The Stinger of Eternals that some other Titans are still alive, including Thanos' brother Eros.
Human Alien: From what is shown when Thanos uses the Reality Stone to create an illusion of the planet Titan before its population became extinct, the Titans seem to have a similar appearance to humans. Confirmed when Eros shows up in Eternals, and he looks virtually indistinguishable from a normal human. Thanos is obviously an exception, as he was born disfigured.
Overpopulation Crisis: Long ago, the Titans suffered from overpopulation, and the subsequent abuse of natural resources led to their extinction. This is what drives Thanos, one of the few survivors, to make sure that this doesn't happen again on any other planet.
You're Insane!: According to Thanos, the other Titans called him a madman when he suggested to kill half the population to solve their planet's Overpopulation Crisis.

A'Lars

Species: Titan

Citizenship: Titan

Appearances: Avengers: Infinity War ^note Mentioned only

The father of Thanos.

Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Red Skull calls him "A'Lars", but his code name "Mentor" from the comics is never used.
The Ghost: He is briefly mentioned by Red Skull as Thanos's father in Infinity War, but he never made an actual appearance.
Uncertain Doom: He is probably dead since Thanos mentions that he is the only member of his race to have survived. However, The Stinger of Eternals reveals that his brother Eros is alive as well, so it may be possible that A'Lars also survived.

Eros

Eros / Starfox

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/9e6b5c5b_63f3_42a4_a622_f6d1bf8a3b39.jpeg

"Your friends are in big trouble, and we know where to find them."

Species: Eternal

Citizenship: Titan

Portrayed By: Harry Styles

Voiced By: Emmanuel Bernal (Latin American Spanish)

Appearances: Eternals ^note In The Stinger

An Eternal who became the adoptive brother of Thanos.

Accents Aren't Hereditary: Eros speaks with Harry Styles' natural English accent, which heavily contrasts with Thanos's rugged American-like one.
Adaptational Late Appearance: In the comics, Eros usually appears alongside Thanos, while in the MCU, he makes his debut appearance long after Thanos is dead.
Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: The one aversion in the film, as most of the cast either don't have codenames to begin with (most of the Eternals) or haven't taken theirs up yet (Dane Whitman). Pip calls him Starfox during his Hammy Herald routine, while Eros introduces himself properly with his real name.
Hero of Another Story: If Pip the Troll is to be believed, Eros has apparently done quite a few heroic deeds in the cosmos that the audience has yet to hear the details of.
I Have Many Names: Eros refers to himself by his given name when introducing himself to his fellow Eternals, but Pip the Troll calls him Starfox.
Meaningful Name: As with the other Eternals, Eros' name connects to mythology - specifically, he shares his name with the Greek god of love and sex, who is the basis for Cupid. It also positions him nicely as a foil to his late brother Thanos - their respective names come from Sigmund Freud's view of humanity as having both a life instinct (Eros) and a death drive (Thanatos). While Thanos certainly lives up to the "death" part, Eros is introduced offering to help the spacefaring Eternals find their captured friends, potentially helping to preserve life.
Primary-Color Champion: Eros wears a red cape and his suit is red with yellow/gold features.
Red Is Heroic: Eros is introduced as a heroic character with a red suit and a red cape.
Related Differently in the Adaptation: In the comics, Eros and Thanos are biological brothers. In the MCU, they are adoptive brothers.
Sibling Yin-Yang: Thanos was a deformed, widely feared and despised madman with a stoic demeanor and hulking, brutal appearance. Eros, on the other hand, is a charming Pretty Boy who, despite a number of heroic deeds to his name (at least according to Pip), isn't as well known as his villainous brother.

Pip the Troll

Pip

"No more drunk teleporting for you."

Species: Troll

Portrayed By: Patton Oswalt

Appearances: Eternals ^note In The Stinger

Eros's companion.

The Alcoholic: Pip's completely smashed when he's first introduced to the audience, drunkenly faceplanting onto the ground of the Eternals' ship via teleportation, and later rambling about Eros's accomplishments to them. His flagon also appear to never empty no matter how much he drinks or spills, perhaps magically so.
Hammy Herald: Pip is clearly enjoying himself as he introduces Starfox to the Eternals during the mid-credit scene.
Sentimental Drunk: Pip hypes up Eros while he's plastered, in spite of the latter's insistence that he doesn't have to do it every time he shows up someplace. Pip responds by telling him that everything he does is awesome, and so is obligated to do it.
Unreliable Narrator: Played for Laughs, since Pip is completely drunk out of his mind when bragging about Eros's accomplishments, making it hard to tell what he's making up, misremembering, or actually telling the truth about. To his credit though, Eros doesn't actually say much to contradict him, outside of correcting Pip about the name of one of the foes he faced.

Zen-Whoberi

In General

Zen-Whoberi

Appearances: Avengers: Infinity War ^note Flashback only

The home planet of the Zehoberei people.

Doomed Hometown: During Gamora's childhood, Thanos attacked her homeworld with his armies and massacred half the population in front of her, including her parents. This event is eventually shown in detail during a flashback scene of Infinity War.
Easily Conquered World: From what is shown in Gamora's flashback, the Zehoberei people didn't put up much of a fight against Thanos' armies and were subjugated quite easily.
Paradise Planet: Thanos outright describes this world as having become "a paradise" after he exterminated half of the population, where the skies are clear and there is enough food for everyone.
Scenery Gorn: As shown in a flashback scene, the hometown of Gamora was badly ravaged during the attack by Thanos' forces.
A Planet Named Zok: It's an alien planet whose name starts with a "Z".

Zehoberei

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 | Avengers: Infinity War | Avengers: Endgame | What If...? | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

A race of green-skinned humanoid aliens.

Adaptation Name Change: In the comics, Gamora's alien species is called "Zen-Whoberi" rather than "Zehoberei" or "Zehobereians".
Alien Blood: Their blood is green, as shown when Gamora is killed.
Amazing Technicolor Population: They essentially look like humans with green skin.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the comics, they were exterminated by the Universal Church of Truth or by the Badoons. In the MCU movies, it was Thanos' doing.
Dying Race: In Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), the Nova Corps database describes the Zehoberei as nearly-extinct, with Gamora being the only known survivor. However, it's shown in Avengers: Infinity War that Thanos' forces only killed half of the Zehoberei population, and Thanos even mentions that the lives of the Zehoberei survivors have improved afterwards. It's unclear if this is a Retcon, or if the Zehoberei eventually died out sometimes after Thanos' second visit.
Overpopulation Crisis: According to Thanos, the Zehoberei people suffered from overpopulation in the past, which caused famines and would have eventually led to their extinction, so he "solved" the problem by slaughtering half their population.
Sudden Name Change: A minor example, but in Guardians of the Galaxy the name of Gamora's race is written "Zehoberei" on her mugshot, whereas in Infinity War Ebony Maw calls them "Zehobereians" during a flashback.

Gamora's Mother

Species: Zehoberei

Citizenship: Zen-Whoberi

Portrayed By: Ameenah Kaplan

Appearances: Avengers: Infinity War ^note Flashback only

The mother of Gamora.

Deceased Parents Are the Best: During her limited screentime, she is shown to be a loving mother who tried her best to protect her daughter. Naturally, she died while Gamora was just a child, and it's clear that she still misses her to this day.
Disposable Woman: She's the mother of Gamora, and her only role is to be killed off by Thanos' soldiers in order to give her daughter a good reason to hate him.
Green-Skinned Space Babe: Just like her daughter, she's an attractive green-skinned alien.
Hand Gagging: When she hides with her daughter from Thanos' armies, the young Gamora gets scared by a nearby explosion and screams, so her mother covers her mouth with her hand. Unfortunately, a Chitauri has already heard her and quickly finds them.
Mama Bear: During the attack on their planet by Thanos' forces, she does her best to hide her daughter from the Chitauri and protect her.
Posthumous Character: She died years before the events of the Guardians of the Galaxy films and only appears in a flashback.
Unnamed Parent: Despite being the mother of one of the main characters, her name is never revealed. Gamora is only heard calling her "Mother".
Unseen No More: Gamora mentioned her parents as far back as the first Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), but her mother doesn't actually make an on-screen appearance until a flashback scene of Avengers: Infinity War, 4 years later.
We Hardly Knew Ye: She only makes a brief appearance in a flashback and is killed by the Chitauri before we can learn much about her.

Gamora

See Gamora.

Vormir

In General

Vormir

Appearances: Avengers: Infinity War | Avengers: Endgame

A barren planet where the Soul Stone is hidden.

Alien Sky: Not only does Vormir has a seemingly permanent eclipse that gives the sky unusual colors, but there is also some sort of hole in the sky above the altar that glows when a sacrifice is made.
Bilingual Bonus: Vor mir^notethe V is read as F, though is German for "in front of me". The German Johann Schmidt (aka Red Skull) has been keeping the stone in front of himself for seventy years, unable to obtain it for his own gain.
A Planet Named Zok: The name of the planet starts with a "V" and contains two "R".
Prison Dimension: This is the place where Red Skull has been banished by the Tesseract for abusing its powers in The First Avenger. He spent the next seventy years imprisoned on this planet where he's forced to act as the keeper of the Soul Stone until someone comes to take it away.
Power Glows: The sky above the altar starts glowing when someone makes a sacrifice to acquire the Soul Stone.
Targeted Human Sacrifice: Those who come to Vormir to seek the Soul Stone must sacrifice the life of someone they love by throwing them off a cliff in order to obtain it. This serves as a test to ensure that the one who'll possess it understands its power.
Total Eclipse of the Plot: In both of its appearances, the planet is darkened by an eclipse that seems to be perpetual. When Thanos and Gamora go to Vormir in 2017 during Infinity War, and when Clint and Natasha travel through time to go the same place in 2014 during Endgame, the eclipse is still present.
Snow Means Death: On the snowy mountains of Vormir, Thanos hurls Gamora off a cliff as a sacrifice for the Soul Stone. It is a cold and ruthless act, but it reveals a hitherto unrecognized warmth in the Mad Titan's heart.

Stonekeeper

The Garden

In General

The Garden

Appearances: Avengers: Infinity War | Avengers: Endgame

A verdant planet where Thanos plans to retire once his mission to balance the universe is complete.

Alien Sky: The rings of the planet as well as huge moons or sister-planets can be seen in the sky from Thanos's farm.
Arcadia: The whole planet is a quiet and beautiful place covered with lush vegetation. No wonder Thanos wanted to spend the rest of his days there.
Down on the Farm: The only known settlement on the planet is Thanos' farm, which is surrounded by fields. After performing the Snap, he retires there to become a farmer.
Fantastic Flora: Thanos cultivates some weird-looking alien plants in the Garden's fields, which he uses to make stews.
Paradise Planet: The Garden is an idyllic world where the only settlement to be found is Thanos's small farm.
Named by the Adaptation: In the comics, the planet on which Thanos retires to become a farmer after obtaining the Infinity Gauntlet is unnamed. In the MCU, Nebula says she heard Thanos call it "The Garden".
Numbered Homeworld: The Garden is labeled "Planet 0269-S" on Rocket's holographic star chart. According to Word of God, Thanos also calls the planet "Titan II".
Planar Shockwave: When Thanos uses the power of the Infinity Gauntlet to destroy the six Stones on the Garden, it creates a power surge that spreads from the planet across space as shockwave rings, as shown in a hologram.
Watching the Sunset: Thanos is planning to go to the Garden to do this once he has accomplished his goal of killing half the universe. At the end of Infinity War, that is exactly what he does.

Thanos

Torfa

In General

Torfa

Appearances: Captain Marvel

A border planet of the Kree Empire.

Adaptational Wimp: In the comics, the planet Torfa has a dangerously toxic atmosphere and contains a large amount of Vibranium. In the MCU, there is no evidence of Vibranium on the planet and several alien races such as the Kree, Skrulls and Torfans are able to breathe on the planet's surface without suffering any harm.
Mysterious Mist: The surface of the planet is covered with a thick mist.
Mythology Gag: Like in the comics, Torfa is used as a refuge for some alien people whose planet has been destroyed, in this case the Skrulls.
Sacrificial Planet: Downplayed. While the planet wasn't completely destroyed, it was still severely damaged from being bombarded by the Kree Accusers at the beginning of the film, which serves to demonstrate what could happen to Earth if Carol doesn't manage to stop them during the climax.
Unsafe Haven: After the Kree destroyed their homeworld, many Skrulls took refuge on Torfa. Unfortunately, the Kree didn't stop hunting them down and sent the spy Soh-Larr to infiltrate the planet, which led to the Kree Accusers and Starforce coming to Torfa and causing lots of death and destruction.
Urban Ruins: Some ruins are visible when Starforce goes to the planet to find Soh-Larr. Vers is initially led to believe that the Skrulls caused this, but Talos later reveals to her that the Kree Accusers are the true perpetrators.

Torfans

Species: Torfans

Appearances: Captain Marvel ^noteHologram only

A race of horned humanoid aliens that live on Torfa.

Aliens Speaking English: One of the few aversions in the MCU. The Torfans seem to have their own alien language, as seen when some Torfan civilians (actually Skrulls in disguise) yell at the Starforce members using incomprehensible words.
Amazing Technicolor Population: They have greenish skin.
The Ghost: Technically, no real Torfans actually appear in Captain Marvel (except in a hologram), since all those encountered by Starforce during their mission on Torfa turned out to be Skrulls in disguise.
Horned Humanoid: All Torfans have small horns on their heads.
Named After Their Planet: They are called "Torfans" and are natives of the planet Torfa.
Rubber-Forehead Aliens: Aside from their horns and skin color, the Torfans don't look very different from humans.
Spared by the Adaptation: In the comics, most of the original inhabitants of Torfa died hundreds of years ago due to a plague, with the only survivors having to evacuate the planet to survive. In the MCU, the Torfans are apparently still around in the 1990s.

Drax's homeworld

In General

Drax's homeworld

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) ^note Mentioned only | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ^note Mentioned only | Avengers: Infinity War ^note Mentioned only

The homeworld of Drax's species.

Canon Foreigner: There is no such planet in the comics.
Doomed Hometown: Drax's home planet was attacked by Thanos' forces led by Ronan the Accuser some time before the events of the first Guardians of the Galaxy. Half the population was slaughtered, with Drax being among the survivors while his wife Ovette and daughter Kamaria were among the victims.
The Ghost: The planet is mentioned at least once in most of Drax's appearances, but it's never actually shown on-screen.

Drax's species

Species: Unknown

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 | Avengers: Infinity War | Avengers: Endgame | What If...? | Thor: Love and Thunder | The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

A race of grey-skinned humanoid aliens known for being Literal-Minded.

Amazing Technicolor Population: If Drax is any indication, then they all have gray skin.
Blunt Metaphors Trauma: Don't bother trying to use metaphors when dealing with one of them. As seen with Drax, it's a complete waste of time.
Canon Foreigner: The race is an original creation of the MCU, as Drax and his family were humans from Earth in the comics.
Literal-Minded: According to Rocket, this is a well-known trait of this race.
Rocket: [Drax's] people are entirely literal.
Planet of Hats: Notorious for being completely literal and unable to grasp metaphors.
Proud Warrior Race: They seem to be a warlike people, with Drax mentioning that he met his future wife during a war rally.
You Mean "Xmas": Drax implies the winter solstice is significant to them as his father would retell the story of Drax's conception then.
Your Normal Is Our Taboo: Apparently, fathers (or at least some of them) have a habit of telling their children how they impregnated their mothers, something that the Terran Peter Quill finds incredibly disgusting.

Drax

See Drax.

Ovette

Species: Unknown

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) ^note Mentioned only | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ^note Mentioned only | Avengers: Infinity War ^note Mentioned only

The wife of Drax.

Adaptation Name Change: In the comics, Drax's wife is named Yvette Steckley Douglas. The name change is probably due to the Adaptation Species Change, as "Yvette" doesn't sound like a very alien name.
Adaptation Species Change: Much like her husband, Drax's wife Yvette was a human from Earth in the comics, but becomes an alien in the MCU.
Big Beautiful Woman: Implied, as Drax mentioned once that he prefers women with "some meat on her bones".
Birds of a Feather: Apparently, she and Drax fell in love because they shared the characteristic of never dancing.
Dance of Romance: Inverted. It was the fact that both Ovette and Drax never danced (and that they were the only two not dancing at the war rally they met in) that made them fall in love with each other.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the comics, Thanos is the one who killed Drax's wife. In the MCU, she was killed by Ronan the Accuser instead, although he was acting under Thanos' orders.
Disposable Woman: She is Drax's wife and only exists to be killed off to give her husband a reason to seek revenge on Ronan, and later on Thanos.
The Ghost: Drax mentions his wife several times in each of his films, but she never actually appears on-screen, not even in flashbacks.
I Can't Dance: According to Drax, Ovette was far too serious-minded to have fun at tribal events. Which is why he fell in love with her in the first place.
Killed Offscreen: We never got to see her death at the hands of Ronan.
The Lost Lenore: To Drax. Her death is what led him to become the vengeful warrior he is today.
Love at First Sight: Drax claims that he knew immediately when he saw her not dancing at a rally that she would be the love of his life.
Posthumous Character: She died during the attack of her planet by Ronan some time before the events of the first Guardians of the Galaxy film.
The Stoic: From Drax's descriptions, his wife seems to have been a mostly serious and stoic person, who didn't even react during their village's festivities.
Drax: The most melodic song in the world could be playing, she wouldn't even tap her foot. Wouldn't move a muscle. One might assume she was dead.

Kamaria

Species: Unknown

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) ^note Mentioned only | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ^note Mentioned only | Avengers: Infinity War ^note Mentioned only | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ^note Mentioned only

The daughter of Drax.

Adaptation Name Change: In the comics, Drax's daughter is named Heather Douglas. The name change is probably due to the Adaptation Species Change, as "Heather" doesn't sound like a very alien name.
Adaptation Species Change: Much like her father, Drax's daughter Heather was a human from Earth in the comics, but becomes an alien in the MCU.
Children Are Innocent: When reminiscing about his daughter to Mantis, Drax describes her as "innocent", just like her.
Daddy's Girl: She seems to have had a close relationship with her father, with him mentioning that he used to take her to visit the forgotten lakes on their home planet. In fact, Drax's close friendship with Mantis seems to be due to her reminding him of his daughter.
Death by Adaptation: In the comics, Drax's daughter Heather actually survived Thanos' attack and was taken by Thanos' father Mentor to Titan where she becomes the superheroine Moondragon. In the MCU, Drax's daughter was apparently killed for real by Ronan on Thanos' orders.
Death of a Child: Her exact age is not known, but she's implied to have been very young when she was killed by Ronan.
Disposable Woman: She is Drax's daughter and only exists to be killed off to give her father a reason to seek revenge on Ronan, and later on Thanos.
The Ghost: Drax mentions his daughter several times in each of his films, but she never actually appears on-screen, not even in flashbacks.
Killed Offscreen: We never got to see her death at the hands of Ronan.
Posthumous Character: She died during the attack of her planet by Ronan some time before the events of the first Guardians of the Galaxy film.

Lamentis-1

In General

Lamentis-1

Appearances: Loki

A moon that is supposed to be destroyed in 2077.

Alien Sky: The skies of Lamentis-1 have a distinct purple color, which slowly gets darkened as the planet it's about to crash into covers more and more of it.
Colony Drop: In 2077, fragments of the planet Lamentis crashed on the moon Lamentis-1.
Crapsack World: Lamentis-1 is on the brink of complete destruction in 2077, where the poorer citizens of the world are left to die an agonizing death while the wealthier ones get to go a place called the Ark to live the rest of their days. The Ark itself ends up destroyed and kills everyone on it anyways.
Death by Adaptation: The planet Lamentis never got destroyed in the comics.
Meaningful Name: The moon has the word "Lament" in its name, and its destruction is apparently one of the worst cataclysms on the TVA's records.
Neon City: The Ark is situated in the middle of Shuroo, a sprawling, crowded, futuristic city, with neon lights and paint decorating it.
Numbered Homeworld: The moon is called "Lamentis-1"

Lamentians

Species: Lamentians

Appearances: Loki

The inhabitants of the moon Lamentis-1.

Apocalypse Anarchy: The poor of Lamentis-1 devolve into chaotic rioting as the imminent destruction of their world approaches, and they realize that the rich are barring them from the only means of survival.
The Elites Jump Ship: The rich of Lamentis-1 gather on an Ark in order to escape the destruction of their world, while leaving the poor behind to die.
Human Aliens: They are pretty much indistinguishable from normal humans. Even their names are similar to those of Earth.
Kill the Poor: Lamentis-1's solution to avoid overcrowding on the Ark is to allow the wealthier folks to purchase tickets aboard while leaving the desperate and enraged poor to die on the moon that they're abandoning.

Patrice's Wife

Portrayed By: Susan Gallagher

Appearances: Loki (appears in Episode 3: "Lamentis")

An old woman living on Lamentis-1.

Awful Wedded Life: Implied. Apparently, her husband Patrice never said anything nice to her in 30 years.
BFG: She has a huge gun and uses it on Sylvie and Loki, though its blasts are nonlethal.
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: She uses her gun to blast away two Asgardians (or rather, Frost Giants), no less.
Killed Offscreen: Since it has been established that there were no survivors, we can safely assume that she died during Lamentis-1's destruction.
Never Mess with Granny: She seems to be at least in her 60s, but she's not afraid to blast away intruders with her gun, as Sylvie and Loki discover the hard way.
No Name Given: Her actual name is never revealed.
Spot the Imposter: When her husband Patrice shows up and tries to compliment her, she realizes it's not him because the real Patrice has never been that nice to her.

Dead Person Impersonation: It's implied that Patrice is dead, and Loki briefly tries to pretend to be him.
The Ghost: Technically, the real Patrice never actually appears. All we see of him is a picture and Loki taking his appearance.
Out-of-Character Alert: When "Patrice" tries to compliment his wife, she blasts him away because the real Patrice was never that nice to her.
Uncertain Doom: We don't know what actually happened to him. He's implied to be dead, but it's not confirmed.

Indigarr

In General

Indigarr

Appearances: Thor: Love and Thunder

The home planet of the Indigarrians.

Alien Sky: Lampshaded by Thor, who points out to the Guardians of the Galaxy that there are three suns and a Saturn-like ringed planet in the skyscape of Indigarr.
Binary Suns: The planet Indigarr has three suns, which Thor finds very relaxing to watch.
A Planet Named Zok: Downplayed, but the name of the planet ends with two "R".

Indigarrians

Appearances: Thor: Love and Thunder

A peaceful race of blue-skinned humanoid aliens.

Actual Pacifist: As King Yakan explains, the Indigarrians are a peaceful people who can't defend themselves against invaders and need the protection of the Gods or the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Adaptation Dye-Job: The Indigarrians have green skin in the comics but become blue-skinned in the MCU.
Aerith and Bob: Some of them have weird alien names like "Yakan", while others have normal human names like "Glenda".
Amazing Technicolor Population: Their skin is blue.
Fantasy Pantheon: They have their own gods and built a Sacred Temple dedicated to them. Unfortunately, they were all killed by Gorr the God-Butcher, leaving the Indigarrians unprotected against invaders.
Named After Their Planet: They are "Indigarrians" from the planet Indigarr.

Dubbed By: Vincent Ropion (European French)

Appearances: Thor: Love and Thunder

The King of the Indigarrians.

As You Know: He starts by saying this verbatim when he explains to Thor that their peaceful planet fell prey to invaders after their gods have died.
King Yakan: As you know, we used to live in a peaceful oasis, but our gods were murdered.
Butt-Monkey: He often becomes the unfortunate victim of Thor's antics. When Thor goes to fight the Booskan invaders, Yakan receives his cloak in the face, and then he has to witness his Sacred Temple being destroyed by Thor's carelessness.
Canon Foreigner: He doesn't exist in the comics.
Cool and Unusual Punishment: After Thor caused the destruction of their Sacred Temple while fighting off invaders, King Yakan "rewards" him with a "gift" of two uncontrollable, deafeningly-loud giant goats who are constantly screaming.
King Yakan: No backsies!
The Good King: He is the King of Indigarr and comes across as decent guy who's concerned about his people's safety and is remarkably patient with Thor's antics.
Let Us Never Speak of This Again: When Thor tries to apologize for accidentally destroying the Sacred Temple, King Yakan asks him not to talk about it because it makes him sad. And mad.
Malicious Misnaming: Since he caused the destruction of the Sacred Temple, Yakan calls Thor the "God of Disaster" instead of "Thunder". Thor doesn't seem to mind, though.
Oh, Crap!: He becomes justifiably worried when he sees that Thor is about to fly into the fragile Sacred Temple at full speed.
King Yakan: He’s not going to go into the temple, is he? No...
Small Role, Big Impact: He only appears in a couple of scenes at the beginning of the film, but he's the one who informs Thor that the gods are being murdered and offers him the goats Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder.

Glenda

Species: Indigarrian

Citizenship: Indigarrian

Portrayed By: Brooke Satchwell

Appearances: Thor: Love and Thunder

An Indigarrian who marries Kraglin Obfonteri.

Grunds

Species: Grunds

Citizenship: Grundar

Appearances: I Am Groot

A surprisingly advanced race of tiny blue aliens.

Adaptational Ugliness: Downplayed. They're pretty cute, but they're much less human-looking than the Grunds from the comics.
Aliens Speaking English: Averted, they speak their own language that is impossible to understand.
Alpha Strike: All their warships and jetpack pilots concentrate their laser fire on Baby Groot, hurting him so badly that he cowers on the ground.

Exposed Extraterrestrials: Although they are a technologically advanced civilization, none of them wear any clothes.
Extra Eyes: All the Grunds have four eyes.

Named After Their Planet: They are called "Grunds" and are the main intelligent species on the planet Grundar.
Not Quite Dead: At the end of the episode, Baby Groot accidentally steps on them. However, it's later revealed that most of them actually survived.

Gangalor

In General

Gangalor

Counter-Earth

In General

Counter-Earth

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

An artificial replica of Earth created by the High Evolutionary, where he and his fellow scientists experiment on animals and send them out to live full lives in their "perfect society".

Aliens Speaking English: Played with. While characters like the High Evolutionary and his fellow scientists are shown speaking perfect English for the most part, many of the residents of Counter-Earth are shown speaking their own distinct language that the Guardians cannot translate. That said, some of the High Evolutionary's guard animals like War Pig can speak English just fine.
Crapsaccharine World: At a glance, Counter-Earth looks exactly like its namesake, just with Humanimals replacing regular humans in society and was intended by the High Evolutionary to have all the good traits of Earth and none of the bad ones. However, on the way to the High Evolutionary's ship, the Guardians see that Counter-Earth has many of the same problems on Earth, like homelessness and drug dealing.
Earth-Shattering Kaboom: After Star-Lord informs the High Evolutionary that Counter-Earth is less than perfect, he decides to completely raze it to the ground, killing everyone on it.
False Utopia: Counter-Earth was created with the intention of being a better version of Earth without any of the bigotry or negative qualities of the human race. Unfortunately, many Earthly vices still dominate this new society, much to the High Evolutionary's chagrin.
Gone Horribly Right: The High Evolutionary wanted to make a perfect recreation of Earth and its inhabitants, as he considers the planet to be the closest thing to a perfect planet he has ever seen. Unfortunately, he ended up recreating Earth a little too well, to the point where crime, drugs and street fights can be seen throughout Humanimals' society.
It's a Small World, After All: The suburban neighborhood the Guardians land on just happens to be within driving distance of the High Evolutionary's headquarters.
Planet of Hats: Nearly all the inhabitants of Counter-Earth are some kind of Uplifted Animal from the original Earth.
Planetary Nation: While Counter-Earth may have a distinct society that the Humanimals live and govern in, they are all creations of and under the control of the High Evolutionary.
Sacrificial Planet: Upon learning that there is drug dealing and crime occurring on Counter-Earth's surface, the High Evolutionary decides to blow up the entire planet and start anew, killing everyone on the surface.

Because You Were Nice to Me: While she initially acts hostile towards the Guardians of the Galaxy, she agrees to help them after Peter Quill kindly gives her a handkerchief for her knee injury. She brings the Guardians into her home, does her best to give them the info they need despite the language barrier, and lets them use her car.
Bat People: She's an anthropomorphic bat.
Killed Offscreen: She presumably dies during Counter-Earth's destruction, but her death isn't shown on-screen.

A kindly genetically enhanced otter as part of Batch 89, and Rocket's first friend.

Character Catch Phrase: "It's good to have friends". The High Evolutionary shoots her in the back as she's saying it one last time.
Childhood Friend Romance: With Rocket. She was the first person he ever saw when he was imprisoned as an experiment and the first one to show him true kindness. Rocket became attached to her very quickly and he dreamed of living in the new world with her and their friends. She was similarly awestruck by his talent and wit and the two share many heartfelt moments together in their youth. Her death drives him mad with grief and causes his No-Holds-Barred Beatdown of the High Evolutionary.
Cyborg: She has the same cybernetic enhancements as Rocket, as well as robotic arms.
Dead Person Conversation: As Rocket is at death's door, he sees Lylla, who lovingly embraces him and is ready to welcome him to the afterlife... but not just yet, as she knows that Rocket is still needed among the living.
Dies Wide Open: She dies staring at the ceiling.
Dying Dream: Her final words, as she's lying on the ground looking up at the ceiling, imply she's dreaming of the sky she longed to see before passing away.
Early-Bird Cameo: Her name is listed as one of Rocket's associates during the prison line-up scene in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
Establishing Character Moment: She's introduced comforting a frightened, newly sentient Rocket and cleaning off his bloody wounds as a sign of good faith.
First Love: For Rocket.
The Heart: She is the emotional center among the experiments and helps them to adjust to their new intelligence levels.
In the Back: Lylla is fatally wounded when the High Evolutionary suddenly shoots her in the back mid-sentence.
Last Kiss: Doubles as a First Kiss (at least on-screen). Before Rocket can join her and their friends in the "forever and beautiful sky", she encourages him to keep living until his life has been lived to the fullest. The two then share a tender kiss (At least, what counts as a kiss between two animals).
The Lost Lenore: As the first person to show him kindness, his failure to save her life shattered Rocket's heart and destroyed his ability to love himself in turn.
Nice Girl: She's a sweetheart through and through, who cares dearly about her friends.
Playful Otter: An adorable otter who happens to be a total sweetheart.
Retcon: She's mentioned in the first Guardians movie on Rocket's Nova Corps screen as an associate, something that doesn't make sense if she's already dead by the time of Rocket embarking on a life of crime.
Team Mom: Though they're all innocent, Lylla is relatively the most mature of her friend group, and her introduction of comforting a young, newly sapient Rocket paints her in a maternal light.
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: She's gunned down in cold blood by the High Evolutionary.
Wide-Eyed Idealist: She genuinely believes the High Evolutionary will allow her and her friends to live in his perfect world. Unfortunately, he won't.
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: When reuniting with Rocket in the afterlife, she tells him that he’s not ready to join her and their friends just yet, because he has a greater purpose in life beyond being the experiment the High Evolutionary made him into, and was always meant to be The Hero of his own story.
You Are Number 6: The High Evolutionary calls her "Subject 89Q12", though she doesn't consider that a true name and prefers to be called "Lylla".

Teefs

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/000000000000000000000000000000000_34.png

"I think my name shall be Teefs, because although we all do have them, mine are definitely the most prominent."

Species: Enhanced walrus

Voiced By: Asim Chaudry

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

A genetically engineered walrus that's part of Batch 89.

Adaptation Name Change: In the comics, he's known as Wal Rus.
Adaptational Dumbass: Wal Rus was a technological genius in the comics. By contrast, Teefs notes that the fact that he's able to think at all is something worth exclaiming aloud.
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: It's shown during Rocket's near death experience that he and and his friends are in a much better place now, Heaven.
Gentle Giant: He's a walrus, making him the largest of his friends, but he's a very kind, gentle guy.
Kill the Cutie: He's a sweet, kind-hearted, child-like walrus who gets gunned down as collateral damage during Rocket's shootout with the High Evolutionary's men.
Kindhearted Simpleton: He's a sweet and friendly guy, but he's rather naive and child-like - although for all intents and purposes is one. At one point he proudly announces he's been thinking. Not about anything in particular, he just wanted his friends to know.
Manchild: Is a fully grown walrus with an adult voice but has a very naive, childlike view of the world that is no doubt due to his sheltered upbringing and lack of intelligence.
Meaningful Rename: He chooses the name "Teefs" as a reference to his tusks, which he notes are the "most prominent" of all his friends' teeth.
Nice Guy: He's a sweet, friendly guy, if a bit dim.
Retcon: A portrait of Wal Rus (his identity in the comics) makes an appearance at the Iron Lotus in Vol. 2, a reference confirmed by Gunn here. Vol. 3 reveals that not only is he named Teefs instead, he dies before he can escape the High Evolutionary's lab.
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Is a complete sweetheart and is executed by the High Evolutionary's men before Rocket kills them.
Warm-Hearted Walrus: Just like his comic book counterpart.

Floor

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/000000000000000000000000000000000_90.png

"Me be called 'Floor', because me is lying on floor!"

Species: Enhanced rabbit

Voiced By: Mikaela Hoover

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

A genetically engineered rabbit that's part of Batch 89.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: It's shown during Rocket's near death experience that she and and her friends are in a much better place now, Heaven.
Canon Foreigner: She's the only one of Rocket's friends to not originate from the comics. She might be meant as a stand-in for Blackjack O'Hare, but there are very little similarities between the two beyond their species.
Creepy Good: Floor's menacing-looking, spidery legs and speaker grafted to her mouth make her look intimidating, but she's a sweetheart through and through.
Cheerful Child: She's the most openly child-like of the High Evolutionary's creations and is mentally a toddler, yet she's very cheerful.
Flawed Prototype: Seemingly to Rocket and the rest of batch 89, as Floor is both the most simple-minded and speaks less articulately than even newly-enhanced Rocket, as well as having the most crude cybernetic implants compared to the others; looking like metal haphazardly jammed into open wounds whereas Rocket's are almost unnoticeable after he's healed. She appears to be the earliest surviving "model" of her friends.
Kill the Cutie: She's the most child-like of all of Rocket's friends, which makes her death especially devastating. She spends her last moments frantically pleading for Rocket to take her and Teefs to safety after Lylla's murder, only to be shot and killed by the High Evolutionary's goons during their shootout with Rocket.
Line-of-Sight Name: She names herself Floor because she was lying on the floor when she thought of it.
Madness Mantra: She spends her last moments alive frantically screaming "ROCKET TEEFS FLOOR GO NOW!"
Manchild: Is a fully grown rabbit with the mentality of a toddler.
Nice Girl: She's very sweet in spite of having been the victim of some of the High Evolutionary's most horrific experiments.
Spider Limbs: She was given mechanical spider-like legs in order to move around.
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Is a complete sweetheart and is executed by the High Evolutionary's men before Rocket kills them.
You No Take Candle: Unlike her fellow cellmates, Floor speaks in broken English (her naming herself Floor is a prime example of this).

Hellspawn

In General

Hellspawn

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

RELEASE THE HELLSPAWN!!!

The shock troops of Orgocorp, Hellspawn comprise of the thousands of the High Evolutionary's failed bioweapon experiments, randomly stapled together from the most powerful and/or intimidating body parts of otherwise incompatible organisms, resulting in assymetrical brutes too hideous for day to day law-enforcement, but too powerful to be casually incinerated.

Body Horror: The Hellspawn are basically living, disfigured action figures mangled together with the logic of a ten year old on too much sugar like the budding psychopath Sid from Toy Story. If a body part looks cool, scary and/or powerful, it will be stitched and stapled onto the creature with no regards to symmetry, balance, or its quality of life outside combat. The result will invariably be a twisted and asymetrical abomination that scuttled straight out of the biomechanical nighmares of H. R. Giger and David Cronenberg.
Godzilla Threshold: Unleashing them as a swarm upon an enemy is presumably an absolute last resort, judging by the horrified expressions of the High Evolutionary's men when commanded to do so. Understandable, considering said monsters' destructive capabilities coupled with barely controlled savagery and stupidity.
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: The one thing The High Evolutionary did right in producing the Hellspawn was an intimidating name, which warns any potential enemies of the wrath that will befall them if they dare defy him.
Praetorian Guard: Even though they are borderline mindless monstrosities, the Hellspawn are still The High Evolutionary's final line of defense when soldiers armed with rifles are no longer sufficient to bully/frighten/kill a problem into submission and compliance.
Quantity vs. Quality: The High Evolutionary makes and deploys these cannon fodder with the same logic of a Starcraft Zerg Player; churn out as many powerful and scary looking monsters as you can, without bothering to spend time & resources to giving them intelligence or advanced combat skills (all the more money and raw material to make more scary monsters, after all), and then crash them like a Tsunami onto a dangerous foe, expecting that the threat will eventually be exterminated in the resulting war of attrition. While this "strategy" works against peaceful civilians, the High Evolutionary trained the Hellsapwn so poorly that a dozen or so warriors with Avengers-Level Caliber of Skill, Experience and Weaponry (which the Guardians of the Galaxy and their allies all happen to be) can easily tear through hundreds of them in minutes.
Super-Strength: These barely trained, glorified attack dogs would seem less dangerous than Thanos' Outriders, were they not also individually strong enough to rip open steel and concrete with their claws, teeth, wings and tentacles.
Zerg Rush: Poorly trained though they may be, The High Evolutionary unleashes these monsters in the thousands, with the "logic" that the law of averages will ensure that the threat will eventually be wiped out by their sheer numbers.

War Pig

Species: Enhanced pig

Voiced By: Judy Greer

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

A genetically engineered pig serving as a loyal guard for the High Evolutionary.

Artistic License – Biology: Despite being a sow, she has boar tusks. Although a closer look reveals that said tusks are made of metal, suggesting they were added into her mouth.
Asshole Victim: Adam Warlock kills her to make sure he gets credit for capturing Rocket, but War Pig tried to capture Rocket herself, almost kills Gamora, and was most likely in on the plan to destroy Counter-Earth, so no tears were shed at her death.
Cyborg: She has numerous cybernetic implants installed in her, including jet packs that allow her to fly.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Adam Warlock effortlessly kills her.
Elite Mook: Presumably a Hellspawn with rank and authority, as she is the only one skilled and intelligent enough to posed any challenge to a named protagonist (namely Adam Warlock).
Enemy Scan: She can use her fully robotic right arm to scan her enemies and check wether they are armed or not.
Hellish Pupils: Her bionic eyes glow red-orange.
Off with His Head!: She's killed when Adam Warlock tears off her head.
Pig Man: She's an anthropomorphic pig.
Sinister Swine: War Pig is a minor antagonist in Vol. 3, and she's a frightening-looking Cyborg pig who works for the High Evolutionary.
Vocal Dissonance: She's a massive, horrific mutant who speaks with a high-pitched, reedy voice.

Behemoth

Species: Enhanced bird

Voiced By: Reinaldo Faberlle

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

A genetically engineered bird serving as a loyal guard for the High Evolutionary.

Bird People: He's an anthropomorphic bird.
Decapitation Presentation: In a deleted scene, Behemoth brings the decapitated head of War Pig to the High Evolutionary's feet to show him that she has failed in her mission.
High Evolutionary: Tell me it's good news.
Behemoth: Depends. How much do you like bacon?
Dodge the Bullet: He's the only Hellspawn who manages to dodge Kraglin's Yaka Arrow.
Squashed Flat: During the final battle, Cosmo uses her telekinetic powers to slam two pieces of debris against Behemoth, crusing him to death.
Underestimating Badassery: He acts quite amused when he sees Cosmo standing up to him to protect Kraglin, thinking she's just "A dog!". He barely has time to realize his mistake before she telepathically lifts some debris to squash him like a bug.

Krylor

In General

Krylor

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (mentioned only) | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ^note In The Stinger

The home planet of the Krylorians.

The Ghost: The planet Krylor is mentioned in Season 6 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but it never actually appears on screen.
Noodle Incident: The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents briefly mention having traveled to Krylor during their search for Fitz, but we don't know much about their experiences there except that Davis stole a pen.
A Planet Named Zok: The name of this alien planet starts with the letters "K", "R", "Y", and there's a second "R" at the end.
The Stars Are Going Out: In an episode of What If...?, the star of the Krylorian system is apparently dying and T'Challa wants to use the Power Stone to jumpstart it and save the Krylorians from extinction.
Unseen No More: After being only mentioned in Season 6 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the planet Krylor finally appears on-screen in The Stinger of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Krylorians

Appearances: Thor: The Dark World ^note In The Stinger | Guardians of the Galaxy | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 | What If...? | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

A race of pink-skinned humanoid aliens.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Downplayed. While not ugly by any means in the comics, the Krylorians only have three fingers on each limb and they tend to be hairless. In the MCU, they are more human-looking as they have five fingers and hair.
Amazing Technicolor Population: They mostly look like humans with pink/magenta skin.
Green-Skinned Space Babe: Pink-skinned in their case, but Krylorian women are considered attractive by other races such as Terrans or Xandarians.
Named After Their Planet: They are called "Krylorians" and are the native race of the planet Krylor.
Nasal Trauma: Not shown, but according to Word of God, many Krylorians have lost their noses by getting too close to Vyloos.
Sexy Dimorphism: All the female Krylorians seen in the MCU so far are beautiful Pink Skinned Space Babe, while Oblo, the only male Krylorian to have appeared, is rather ugly by human standards.
Space "X": Agent Davis calls the pen he stole from the Krylorians a "Space Pen".

Aladna

In General

Aladna

Appearances: The Marvels

A planet that is over 99% covered by water, Aladna's natives are unique in that they communicate through song and dance.

Adaptation Expansion: The Aladnans of the comics only speak in rhymes. The MCU versions expands this to only speaking in elaborate musical numbers.
Musical World Hypotheses: Aladnans speak exclusively through song. Speaking normally is a different language to them, to the point where most of them can't understand anything that isn't sung.
Single-Biome Planet: Aladna is almost entirely covered in water, although the Aladnans themselves are Human Aliens that live on the small amounts of land. Unfortunately, this (and its personal tie to Carol) makes it the perfect target for Dar-Benn to steal its ocean.

Prince Yan

Species: Aladnan

Citizenship: Aladna

Portrayed by: Park Seo-joon

Appearances: The Marvels

The prince of Aladna, and the husband of Carol Danvers for political reasons. Unlike other Aladnans, he's capable of understanding words that aren't in song.

Altar Diplomacy: He is married to Carol, although only for the sake of unspecified galactic politics.
Gorgeous Garment Generation: He's able to transform Carol's outfit into a beautiful dress for their musical/dance conversation, and also creates new outfits for Monica and Kamala. It's unclear if this is a power exclusive to him, something all Aladnans can do, or done with unseen technology.
Suddenly Bilingual: After performing a huge musical number with Carol, he reveals that he can speak non-sung words to Monica's annoyance.
Warrior Prince: He assists his soldiers in fighting off the Kree invasion.

Maveth

In General

Maveth

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

A planet accessed by the Monolith and the prison of Hive.

Deadly Dust Storm: The planet is prone to them, but they are eventually shown to be caused by Hive.
Death World: Will (and Simmons, eventually) think the unnamed planet is literally Hell. The surface is almost completely barren, daylight only comes once every 18 years, the core radiates heat which compensates for the lack of sunlight, some abstract intelligence actively prevents escape and there's a monster on the surface which lives solely to kill anything that isn't it.
When the Planets Align: The portal to Maveth opens in response to the alignment of the planet and its moons.

Will Daniels

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daniels_will.jpg

"I have never been able to resist doing something when I'm told the odds are impossible."

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Dillon Casey

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (first appears in Episode 49: "4,722 Hours")

A NASA astronaut who was sent through the Kree portal to Maveth in 2001 as part of Project Distant Star Return, who Simmons runs into after she's also sucked in.

Action Survivor: The only member of his team able to keep it together in their hellish situation trapped on the alien planet. Surviving on an alien world by himself for fourteen years is certainly an impressive feat.
Ambiguously Evil: HYDRA was responsible for Will and his fellow astronauts' trip to Maveth, and Will's uniform had a proto-HYDRA logo on the shoulder, but whether Will himself was a member of HYDRA is left unclear.
Canon Foreigner: There is no Will Daniels in the comics.
Bus Crash: Died covering Simmons as Fitz brought her back, as revealed in "Maveth".
The Eeyore: He makes a pact with Simmons; she'll be "the voice of hope", and he'll be the "voice of doom" to keep both balanced.
Fish out of Temporal Water: With no updates from Earth since 2001, he's naturally amazed at Simmons' Smartphone.
Go Mad from the Isolation: After fourteen years alone, he's naturally gone a little off. He keeps Simmons imprisoned at first just to make sure she's real.
Heroic Sacrifice: He distracts the thing hunting him and Simmons so she can get back to Earth, including using the bullet he was planning to save for when he truly couldn't go on anymore.
Impossible Task: He's drawn to these, which is why he volunteered for the Monolith mission.
Killed Offscreen: Will is killed by Hive while Simmons escapes and he ends up as another host for the ancient Inhuman.
My Greatest Failure: He had one job on the mission; keep the other three guys alive. Not only did he fail with all three, he had to kill the last one himself in self-defense.
My Greatest Second Chance: When another Lab Rat (Simmons) comes through the portal, he makes sure she stays alive and gets home.
Never Tell Me the Odds!: Someone telling him "this is impossible" only makes him want to do it more.
Unwitting Pawn: Was either this or Evil All Along due to the revelation HYDRA was responsible for his expedition. Whether he was a genuine astronaut who choose the wrong mission or a loyal HYDRA agent is not addressed, though evidence exists for both options. With his death, it is unlikely to be ever answered.

Chronyca-2

In General

Chronyca-2

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The home planet of the Chronicoms, which revolves around a star in the Cygnus constellation. It's one of the many planets that have been destroyed by Izel and her Shrike.

Canon Foreigner: There is no planet called "Chronyca-2" in the comics.
Doomed Hometown: This planet was Enoch's home world and was destroyed by Izel and the Shrike between Seasons 5 and 6. He is deeply upset when he's told about it.
Homeworld Evacuation: Downplayed, but a small number of Chronicoms led by Atarah managed to evacuate the planet before its destruction.
Numbered Homeworld: The planet is called "Chronyca-2". Since the Chronicoms want to conquer Earth and rename it "Chronyca-3", this suggests that it was their second home planet.
Planetary Destruction: Izel used the Shrike to cause the complete destruction of the planet when she came to search for the Monoliths. According to Atarah, the planet was set ablaze and heated to the melting point, wiping out all life on it.
Sacrificial Planet: Chronyca-2 is one of the numerous planets that Izel destroyed during her search for the Monoliths and that Sarge's crew failed to save. Upon seeing footage of Chronyca-2's destruction, the SHIELD agents realize that Earth is in danger of suffering the exact same fate.

Heroic Sacrifice: He tries to contain Hale's bomb with his body.
Jumping on a Grenade: Does this to the Kree beacon to contain some of the explosion.

Aliens Speaking English: He speaks in the same language as Fitz and Enoch, without any hint of Translation Convention or Translator Microbes being at play.
Bad Boss: Viro exploits his crewmembers and doesn't give a damn about their lives. If Fitz hadn't rigged the ship's airlocks, Viro would've spaced all his engineers to avoid paying their wages.
Human Aliens: Sivians seem human except for having inhumanly skyblue irises.
Thrown Out the Airlock: Viro tries to do this to Fitz and all his engineers, but Fitz rigged the airlocks to Viro and his thugs are the ones that end up spaced while Fitz and the Sivian engineers remain safe.

Naro-Atzia

The Abilisk

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/abilisk_1.png

Species: Abilisk

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

An inter-dimensional creature that is feeding on the power source of the Sovereign, who hire the Guardians of the Galaxy to eliminate it. The third film confirms this is a species rather than a singular creature.

Achilles' Heel: Its skin is almost unbreakable, except for one spot on its neck where it has a visible scar.
Alien Blood: Its blood resembles yellow slime.
Attack the Injury: The battle with the Abilisk doesn't go well for the Guardians, as the beast has a hide that shrugs off all their weapons... until Peter notices a previous injury that left an open incision in the hide. He points it out to Gamora, who quickly uses her sword to open a massive cut from the original small wound.
Back for the Finale: After the Abilisk served as the Starter Villain for the Guardians in Vol. 2, three other individuals of the same species appear at the end of the trilogy as part of the High Evolutionary's attempt to kill Mantis, Nebula, and Drax. However, Mantis manages to calm them down and befriend them when she realizes they were only attacking out of fear.
Breath Weapon: It has one that resembles the aurora borealis. Its actual effect is unclear due to most of the fight being a Meaningful Background Event, but Rocket's weapon catches fire when he's struck full-blast by its streaming light.
Canon Foreigner: The Abilisk is an original creation from the MCU that doesn't have any counterpart in the comics.
Combat Tentacles This creature's bread and butter, although it has a host of other abilities as well.
Dimensional Traveler: According to Gamora, the Abilisk is a creature that travels through dimensions.
The Dreaded: The reason the Guardians were hired to kill the Abilisk is because the Sovereign were too afraid to lose the lives of some of their own by fighting it themselves.
Eating the Enemy: It spends most of the battle trying to devour the Guardians of the Galaxy and eventually succeeds in eating Drax, though he actually lets it happen on purpose.
Extreme Omnivore: In addition to eating people, the Abilisk loves to feed on Anulax batteries, which are highly explosive. Averted in Vol. 3 when Mantis asserts they only eat batteries, and attack only out of fear.
Good Scars, Evil Scars: The Abilisk has a noticeable scar on its neck and isn't the friendliest of creatures.
Gutted Like a Fish: Gamora ends up killing it by cutting open its belly with her sword, making everything in its stomach drip out, including the recently eaten Drax.
Immune to Bullets: Its skin is so thick that the Guardians' firearms have little to no effect on it.
Kill It Through Its Stomach: Subverted, in that Drax's idea to attempt this against it proved wholly ineffective.
Lamprey Mouth: Has at least three rows of sharpened teeth filling multiple levels on the inside of its mouth.
Metronomic Man Mashing: At one point during the fight, the Abilisk grabs Drax by the legs and starts slamming him all over the place, almost crushing Baby Groot in the process.
More Teeth than the Osmond Family: The Abilisk has several rows of teeth, each one sharper than the other.
Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: In Vol. 3, Mantis reasons that the Abilisks only seemed interested in eating batteries so they may act hostile to humans and other species out of fear. Sure enough, she's able to commune with and befriend a trio of Abilisks.
Octopoid Aliens: It's an alien creature with a large number of tentacles, making it somewhat reminiscent of an octopus.
Starfish Aliens: A giant, tentacled monster that travels between dimensions and particularly loves to menace the Sovereign world.
Starter Villain: The Abilisk serves as the first threat faced by the Guardians of the Galaxy during Vol. 2, appearing in the team's first scene and getting killed after a short yet difficult battle.
Super-Toughness: The Abilisk's skin is incredibly durable, being able to withstand Peter's and Rocket's gunfire as well as Drax's knives without suffering any scratches. Gamora has to attack a pre-existing cut with her sword to successfully kill it.
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: As its skin proves too tough to penetrate, Drax decides to jump into the Abilisk's mouth reasoning that he can "cut through it from the inside"... only for the interior skin to turn out to be just as tough as the exterior, a fact Peter and Gamora are well aware of.
Swallowed Whole: Does this to Drax, who jumps right into the Abilisk's mouth in an attempt to kill it from its inside.
Tentacled Terror: It is a tentacled inter-dimensional beast that feeds on the Anulax Batteries of the Sovereign.
Tentacle Rope: Towards the end of the fight, the Abilisk wraps a tentacle around Peter Quill's body and brings him to its mouth to devour him, but Gamora manages to kill it first by slashing open its stomach.
We Need a Distraction: In order to allow Gamora to target its neck scar, Peter orders Rocket to draw the Abilisk's attention to make it look up, which he manages to do by flying over it and shooting it repeatedly.

One True Love: According to Thor, once the Space Dolphins find their mates they'll stay together for life.

A realm of infinite shadows and darkness connected to the Necrosword.

Baby Planet: The planet in the Shadow Realm is one of the larger examples but you can still tell that it's spherical when they're on it.
Deliberately Monochrome: Its dark magic renders almost everything around it in black and white, and only certain magical elements can retain their colors in the Realm (Mjolnir, Zeus' Thunderbolt and Gorr's eyes). As Thor puts it, it is a place "where the color fears to tread".
Eldritch Location: It's a realm of darkness connected to the Necrosword, and thus the source of Gorr's shadow magic, with almost everything being completely monochrome as even color "fears to tread" within it. The only known location in it is a white planetoid that Gorr uses as his base of operations.
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: A realm of shadows that literally sucks all color out of everything that enters it.

A previous wielder of the Necrosword, slain by one of the deities of Gorr's homeworld.

Adaptational Backstory Change: He is technically an adaptation of Knull, but goes unnamed to avoid legal issues with Sony and is merely one of many wielders of the Necrosword rather than being its creator.
Adaptational Wimp: While he isn't Knull himself, the Dark God takes his role in Gorr's backstory and shows himself as significantly weaker than Knull. Whereas Knull implicitly managed to wipe out Gorr's home planet's pantheon and severely weaken the golden god and wasn't killed thanks to his Complete Immortality, the Dark God was killed by Rapu and his pantheon with seemingly minimal casualties on the pantheon's side.
Black Knight: All that is shown of him is that he is a dark being with metallic skin wielding a black blade.
Dark Is Evil: He has jet-black, almost metallic-looking skin and wielded the Necrosword in a deicidal crusade.
Fangs Are Evil: Like Gorr after him, he is a god-slaying warrior with fangs for teeth, through whether his were the result of the Necrosword's corruption or something he naturally possessed are unknown.
Identical Stranger: His facial features resemble Gorr's.
Kill the God: Like Gorr and Necrosword's other wielders, he was compelled by the dark blade to go on a deicidal rampage across the cosmos.
Legacy Character: Unlike in the comics, the dark being is one of many wielders of the Necrosword.
No Body Left Behind: His corpse melts into darkness and is seemingly absorbed by the Necrosword.
No Name Given: Given that Knull likely falls under the purview of Sony's Spider-Man Universe and Thor stating the Necrosword has changed hands from the dawn of time with the implication that he isn't Knull, the Necrosword's wielder is left unnamed — with the closest he has to an official name, "the Dark Shadow Lord" being revealed on the special effects team's Instagram.
Posthumous Character: He's dead by the time Gorr finds him and nothing is exposited about his past to avoid stepping on Sony's toes.
Predecessor Villain: He directly preceded Gorr as the Necrosword's wielder, having been corrupted by it into a deicidal warrior.
Riddle for the Ages: Since he isn't Knull and his backstory isn't elaborated on because of disputes with Sony, how he came into possession of the Necrosword or what his life was like beforehand is not clear. We know he took it from somebody, but that's it.
Worf Had the Flu: Implied. The Necrosword gradually kills its wielder and he'd held onto it for an unknown length of time before going up against Rapu, who was easily subdued as soon as Gorr inherited the sword.
