Heroic Spirit of Adversity

The ultimate enemies of Grand Order. "Beast" is a non-standard Servant class, the strongest and most evil of them all, that denotes one of the seven great existential threats to Humanity itself. As manifestations of Humanity's sins, the "Evils of Humanity" accumulate strength as humans advance and are powerful enough to exist independently without need of a Master. The Heroic Spirit Summoning Ritual (before it was cannibalised into Heaven's Feel and the FATE Summoning System) was originally created to summon seven Grand Servants as humanity's ultimate countermeasure to the seven Beasts.

Note that, by their very nature, entries for these characters contain unmarked spoilers. You Have Been Warned.

    Shared Tropes 
  • Always Chaotic Evil: Every single Beast with a profile is marked as Chaotic Evil as they are fundamentally enemies of mankind in various forms. This even extends to their playable versions. Even Servants such as Larva/Tiamat, who is a Heel–Face Reincarnation of Tiamat, and Sodom's Beast/Draco, who isn't as moody as her Beast self, are listed as Chaotic Evil. The only exception to this is U-Olga Marie, who is Lawful Good, and actually helps humanity after she briefly loses her memory in Lostbelt 7.
  • Ancient Evil: With the exception of Kiara and Koyanskaya, all of the Beasts are at least 1,500 years old with several dating back to the Age of the Gods. Tiamat in particular predates humanity itself (and, it's implied, all earthly life) since she gave birth to them.
  • Antagonist Abilities: They have unique "Nega-" skills that are connected to their concepts as a whole and have some of the most insanely broken effects in gameplay and/or lore.
    • Beast I: Nega-Summon, the complete cancellation and nullification of any and all attacks from Servants, including Noble Phantasms. It however cannot negate any Noble Phantasm that is not from a summoned Servant. In gameplay, it's used as an absurdly high special defense against Noble Phantasms and critical hits, and only degrades three turns after Goetia receives a deathblow from another source.
    • Beast II: Nega-Genesis, a conceptual Bounded Field that nullifies human scientific discoveries and speculation like evolution and the Earth's conception with its mere existence. This, in turn, also creates a barrier against Servants from known human history with the Man and Star attributes. Once it's activated in full as shown in the anime, it will spread out and rewrite everything it touches, negate any attack from a Servant, and instantly defeat almost any Servant that enters it, with only truly-living beings immune from being overwritten. In gameplay, it is a Noble Phantasm negation debuff against Servants with the aforementioned attributes.
    • Beast III/L: Nega-Desire, Kama/Mara as the incarnation of worldly desire induces utter adoration and depravity in those with desires in order to fulfill all desires and eliminate the need for desire through hedonistic satisfaction. In gameplay, this reduces all NP gauges to 0% for three turns.
    • Beast III/R: Nega-Saver, the representation of Kiara's Dark Messiah status as one trying to bring about solipsistic salvation solely for herself. It's also noted that this is what makes the difference between her FGO version and her CCC counterpart because this gives the former an edge CCC Kiara lacked to take on other messiahs. Though the flavor text states that all Ruler and Saver skills are nullified, her buffs get a 200% multiplier, and there's a 300% chance that any Servant with Magic below A-rank will get charmed, the gameplay effect is just extra damage against Rulers.
    • Beast IV:L: Nega-Self, the authority to deny “Self” and “Ego” to animals. Koyanskaya “took in animals, then created and released them from her own cells”, but these produced creatures were forbidden from interbreeding, and were prohibited from creating a “family lineage” or “genealogical tree”, and from the beginning, these creatures could never possess an “Ego” as a lifeform. For the lifeforms who became her retainers, the process of growing up, the gaining of experience, and evolution through genetic combination were all prohibited. She also has Nega-Weapon, a skill to make humanity's weapons be better than anyone else in her benefit. However, it only works against humans themselves, and her attacking non-humans isn't nearly as effective. In gameplay, Nega-Self decreases the buff application success rate of all units on the field by 40% and Nega-Weapon grants her the unique class advantages and disadvantages that her Beast class possesses.
  • Balance Between Good and Evil: In theory, the manifestation of a Beast means the Counter Force will summon the seven Grand Servants to counter them. In practice, currently Tiamat, Draco, and an undeveloped Beast IV:L are the only ones to draw enough attention to summon a Grand Servant and only one of them stayed alive long enough to actually fight a Beast. While Solomon (i.e the real one) is a Grand Caster candidate, he isn't exactly one when he appears in the story against Goetia (and Goetia's claims that he's a "Grand Caster", back when he impersonated Solomon, was a lie).
  • Battle Theme Music: To highlight their uniqueness, each of them have their own special boss music.
    • Goetia has "The Time of Birth Hath Come", "The Time of Coronation Hath Come", "The Time of Parting Hath Come", and "Fate/Grand Order". The first three pieces are named after Solomon's Noble Phantasm's secondary titles and all four of them are either remixes of the main theme or first opening song.
    • Tiamat's "BEAST II" is full of orchestral bombast with female chanting.
    • Kiara's "anima ataraxia" is a remix of her boss music from CCC.
    • Kama/Mara's "karma ataraxia" is full of heart-pounding rock with an ominously calm synth melody as the backline.
    • Koyanskaya reuses her incomplete Beast form's music "Nine Drive: Koyanskaya's Lostbelt Journey" but eschews mixing in the Lostbelt themes in favor of a piano and choir.
  • Beast of the Apocalypse: Their very presence is considered a doomsday scenario that will result in complete catastrophe if not taken down.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: They are the threats to humanity that Chaldea must resolve, with Parts 1 and 2 dedicated to defeating just two Beasts.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality:
    • Generally, this is one of the things which drives these entities to do harm to humanity as a whole - their worldview is so different that they have trouble comprehending humanity as it exists and they seek to annihilate or remake it in some way. Tiamat is noted as specifically seeing humans as an Eldritch Abomination in the same way we see her, and Goetia is motivated in no small part by a complete inability to understand the value of human mortality, particularly the more traumatic versions. This is especially notable in Primate Murder's case, as the time it spent with Mash as Fou was particularly critical toward it gaining an understanding and appreciation of humanity, thus "defeating" it before it ever truly manifested.
    • It is mentioned in the Final Singularity: Grand Temple of Time Solomon that it's because they love humanity so much that they threaten to destroy it. Their love leading them to become all-consuming forces of nature that seek to reshape humanity, as their rage, indignation, or anger is born from their unrelenting love of humans.
    • It's explained in the material books that Merlin could potentially be classified as a Beast due to a similar warped sense of morality, but luckily he has enough of a grip on what's right for humanity to not be one.
  • The Corruption: Just about all the Beasts to date have demonstrated this ability:
    • Tiamat possesses a "black sea of life", the Chaos Tide, which rewrites any living thing, particularly sentients, to be an enemy of humanity down to the cellular level through an amino-geas and randomly mutates them with a variety of skills like Self-Modification, Self-Replication, etc. Ushiwakamaru is the unfortunate firsthand victim of this, being Eaten Alive by Tiamat before Kingu cuts her apart in her stomach. Tiamat then dissolves her and creates a multitude of evil, mud-skinned clones of her.
    • The various "individual" Demon Pillars of Goetia, meanwhile, can transform any living thing that comes into direct contact with a Goetia-influenced Grail into a physical manifestation of that given Demon Pillar, and thus into an avatar for the will of the Goetia Hive Mind as a whole.
    • One thing of note that's captured a lot of attention is how aspects of the appearance of both Arc 1 Beasts, as well as the function of Tiamat's Chaos Tide (which is specifically compared to the Aŋra Mainiiu mud that "modern mages are familiar with" during Babylonia), are all very, very similar to Aŋra Mainiiu and Dark Sakura. This has caused a decent bit of speculation as to whether or not the Aŋra Mainiiu that infected the Fuyuki Grail really was "just" the result of an average villager, made to ritualistically embody All The World's Evil, being given the power to truly become what people wished of him, or if there was yet more going on that no one was aware of.
      • Nasu later confirmed on his blog that Tiamat, in particular, was meant to be "the ultimate Sakura-type character", and all of the similarities between Tiamat and Dark Sakura/Aŋra Mainiiu are completely intentional. Whether this is just one villain calling back to another or whether it has a deeper meaning remains to be seen.
    • Beast IV is a little odd; it possesses a type of corruptive power in its wider lore, but it's unclear if it applies here. As the Dead Apostle Ancestor Primate Murder, it is fully capable of creating Dead familiars and even starting people on the path to being full Dead Apostles, though this isn't quite the same thing as "typical" Beast corruption. Furthermore, Primate Murder may not have become a Dead Apostle Ancestor in this facet of the Kaleidoscope in the first place, so he might not even be able to do that, but his appearance is too brief to be clear on this.
    • Beast VI, in lore, has not shown quite the same breadth of corruptive ability as some of the others but can do at least something like it; at the climax of Prototype Fragments, it brings back all of the previously-defeated Servants which entered into the Grail as Alter versions of themselves to defend it. They retain their Classes, but their alterations are substantial, violating and blasphemous.
    • Beast III/R has a somewhat unique form of corruption: its base, the Demon Pillar Zepar, is able to bond with individual human beings to survive, and Sessyoin Kiara, as a skilled computer scientist and therapist with a Demon Pillar backing her up, is able to infiltrate and command any kind of data entity or persons connected to a computer, including the artificial AI servants of the Moon Cell, and for most of the Epic of Remnant: EXTRA: SE.RA.PH is guiding BB's actions and also forcing the near-dead Master candidates in the Seraphix core to summon Servants over and over.
    • Beast III/L uses the rigged rules of her Ooku to slowly wear away at one's defenses and sway them towards her all-encompassing embrace of pleasure.
    • Beast I:L can turn anyone into a vampire by sucking their blood.
  • Death Is Cheap: They all have some ability to come back from a single death.
    • Goetia is heavily depowered but manages to cling onto life even after Ars Nova is activated and destroys Solomon's magic systems. This does not stop him though as he comes back once again in King Solomon's body though he is less bent on destroying humanity now.
    • Tiamat is the archetypal mother of all life on earth, and any organism that currently exists is proof of that. Therefore, the only way to truly kill her would be to literally end all life on Earth and save her for last. The best the heroes can do is send her to a lifeless plane (the local afterlife), weaken her, and put a new seal on her. And much like Goetia, this does not stop her from coming back as a lesser but still powerful version of herself in Arcade Timeline.
    • Kiara uses her powers to leave behind a fragment of herself in the Throne at the very last minute and makes a deal with her counterpart to do the same.
    • Fou doesn't die per se, but his core intelligence and powers are gone with only his base form as a small Cath Palug remaining after giving them up to save Mash.
    • The Beast of Revelations has been revived by Manaka and seemingly by itself later on.
    • While Camazotz never gets a full explanation for his version, he is also the only one to actively exploit this. He was only able to defeat ORT by being an absolute goddamn cockroach over the span of several millenia.
  • Embodiment of Vice: Each Beast embodies a weakness in the nature of humans, thus their name, and only truly becomes an Evil of Humanity when they actively begin a plan that centers around said Evil.
  • The End of the World as We Know It: What happens when one of them manifests.
    • Goetia incinerates the world via Ars Almadel Salomonis as part of his goal of replacing humanity with a new dominant species.
    • Tiamat threatens to overtake the entire Earth with her Sea of Life and replace all existing life with the monstrous Laḫmu.
    • Kama/Mara would use her cosmic powers to pamper all living beings and ultimately break down society as a whole due to the lack of interactions to hold it together.
    • Kiara's plan is to merge with the Earth's core and induce an eternal orgasmic trance on all living beings for the sake of her own pleasure.
    • Beast VII wipes away the earth's surface and sets several parallel worlds in competition to determine which one will get to take over the planet.
    • Koyanskaya's plan is to construct a world of "new animals" that would not be harmed by humans, maimed by humans, and would not harm the present state of the world.
    • Draco summons The Great Flood, a wave greater than even Tiamat's Chaos Tide, that will reset the entire world. Her ultimate goal is not to incinerate then rebuild the Human Order like Goetia, but rather its complete destruction.
  • Enemy Civil War: Despite their common goal of destroying humanity, the Beasts do not get along, at all, seeking to destroy humanity on their terms even before some of them make Heel Face Turns. Beast I starts his plan because he disagrees with VII's plan, IV actively assists Chaldea against I and II, both halves of III hate each other so much III/R helps Chaldea against III/L, IV:L continuously antagonizes IV, and VI/S is opposed by II while showing disdain for I in the Arcade timeline. Kotomine in Olympus states that multiple Beasts in the same area will eventually come to blows, and the closest they can get to teamwork is staying far out of each other's path like Koyanskaya and U-Olga Marie do, or the way Goetia stood back and let Tiamat try and fail to hijack his own scheme.
  • Eternal Recurrence: It’s been hinted at a few times that F/GO is not the first time the Beasts have threatened humanity. Melusine is able to identify Koyanskaya as a Beast and notes that Proper Human History must be worst off than she thought if Chaldea knows what Beasts are and Daji was noted to have manifested as a Beast while being separate from the current set of Beasts.
  • Evil Knockoff: Inverted. The framework of the original Spirit Origins meant to hold the Grand Servants was based on the Beasts' spiritual structure, meaning that the Servant system can be described as a "good knockoff" of the evils that it was designed to fight. This had the side effect of making the Beasts a nominal Servant class despite fundamentally being the opposite of Heroic Spirits, which is why they have physical parameters and skills mirroring those of proper Servants.
  • Evil Will Fail: Gilgamesh mentions in Babylonia that for all their power, humanity is destined to prevail over the Beasts. Too bad that doesn't make defeating them any easier though.
  • Foreshadowing: Their existence has been hinted at in previous Nasuverse installments before Grand Order.
    • In the original Fate/stay night, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment during one scene has Archer EMIYA noting that Altria isn't a "guardian" (e.g. a Counter Guardian) yet and hasn't fought something like Aŋra Mainiiu's Shadow before, and noting that even as a normally-summoned Servant he's "doing the same thing no matter where he goes".
    • In Melty Blood, Arcueid mentions the Ancient I (Goetia) which the Dust of Osiris' plan was effectively a knockoff of.
    • In Fate/EXTRA CCC, BB effectively becomes a new Evil and had even absorbed Tiamat into herself (with Gilgamesh treating her far more seriously than he had the Beasts fought in Fate/Grand Order's story upon realizing it), Sessyoin Kiara of the same game and universe then absorbs those powers and rights and became like a True Demon herself, which she discusses at some length when confronted and which becomes directly plot-relevant in the Epic of Remnant: EXTRA: SE.RA.PH.
    • The Beast of Revelations from Fate/Prototype and Fragments being the first to even possess the Class.
    • Tamamo-no-Mae/Hakumen/Amaterasu has the buried potential to become a Beast within her, and Amaterasu even asking if Hakuno could love her upon learning of it and knowing that she will bare her fangs against them as well in CCC.
    • The bonus Hanafuda game bundled with Realta Nua for the PSP outright calls Manaka Sajyou an Evil of Humanity when she interacts with Tamamo.
    • Gilgamesh's plan to unleash the Grail on the world in Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] was specifically set up by Nasu to connect to their rising prominence in Grand Order, having written the scripts for both stories at the same time in 2013. The term specifically is dropped in episode 21 as Gilgamesh mentions it while discussing the tainted Grail.
    • Aŋra Mainiiu's Bond Craft Essence specifically namedrops the term "Evil of Humanity", which was released two months before the big reveal of Babylonia.
  • God of Evil: They serve as this to mankind with at least two of them being actual gods, albeit of different domains.
  • Godzilla Threshold: When one of them appears, crossing this tends to be the only way of even possessing a hope of victory; expect one Heroic Sacrifice at minimum for an encounter. They are also the only scenario where the World will directly summon Grand Servant to combat a threat.
  • Good Needs Evil: In a sense. While it would probably be a lot more convenient for humanity if it didn't have to confront the manifestations of its own evils, the seventh Lostbelt in particular offers an explanation for why humanity needs to overcome those evils, as opposed to never possessing them in the first place as is the case with the Deinos. Namely, that the evils the Beasts represent are also primary drivers for progress and innovation. For example, the Deinos are explicitly noted to lack Comparison. While they are left in awe and wonder of the accomplishments of Proper Human History and the other Lostbelts that Chaldea tell them of, they don't feel any envy for those achievements, and despite demonstrating genius intellect that allows a Deinos like Tepeu to master human magecraft with a simple explanation, they don't feel any need to advance themselves, not even to compete with the Ocolemeh for survival. This contrasts heavily with the lost human civilization of Ka'an from the same timeline, which transformed Camazotz into a Beast and managed the incredible achievement of defeating their version of ORT at the height of its power, though obviously at the cost of total extinction. For better or for worse, having these evils in the first place creates obstacles for humanity to outgrow and eventually overcome.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: To all branches of the Fate multiverse excluding Grand Order - the entire Servant system of the Holy Grail War is based upon the Beasts' spiritual structure, and there's a present but none-to-obvious implication that the seven servant classes each correspond to one of the Beasts. All the blood spilled by the Servants, regardless of their reasons, can be traced back to the Beasts.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Of the eight Beasts to make an appearance in the story so far, seven have (or been hinted to have) turned from their dark purpose to side with humanity. Goetia has potentially become the Chaldean, and travels the Lostbelts ahead of or alongside Chaldea helping people; Tiamat accepted mankind fully maturing and manifested herself in the Arcade timeline as an Alter Ego to fight Draco and in the mobile timeline to battle the Foreign God; Kama/Mara, Kiara, Koyanskaya, and Draco left behind playable facets of themselves to assist the team (Kiara even directly aiding in defeating Kama/Mara), and Primate Murder never fully materialized to begin with, and travels alongside the heroes through space, time, and many parallel realities to help.
  • Heel Realization: Almost every one of them has a revelation on how they were wrong or realized their contradiction. Tiamat in the anime realizes her children still love her even if they leave her behind after her talk with Fujimaru and willingly drops her Nega-Genesis to let herself be destroyed. Goetia understands the value of human mortality and goes out satisfied with what time he has left. Primate Murder understands the value of humanity and chooses to sacrifice his power to save one he grew to care for. Kiara goes down wondering what it is she lacked compared to Meltrylis and ultimately realizes what it was when she sacrifices herself against Kama / Mara for the protagonist just as Melt did against her. Koyanskaya eventually comes to terms with Chaldea and peacefully ends her conflict with them while also coming to terms with her own complex feelings on humanity.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: So far part of each Beast's defeat has been their own power being directed back at itself to some degree, both unwittingly and willingly.
    • Gorgon as Composite Deity Gorgon/Tiamat was defeated by her past self, Ana. Then Tiamat deliberately held back allowing Chaldea to destroy her mind. Much of the final plan to beat her would not have worked if she wasn't all instinct at that point. And in the anime, what's left of her mind is ultimately convinced by Fujimaru to willingly drop her Nega-Genesis Bounded Field and let herself be destroyed.
    • Goetia is defeated when Romani, the real Solomon, erases himself and his magic system from history, taking Goetia's feet out from under him.
    • Primate Murder willingly used up his own power.
    • Kiara could be beaten because of agents she had absorbed into herself and brought with her, Meltlilith and BB.
    • Kama/Mara could be beaten because Kiara countered her and they're two halves of the same Beast. Then the Tokugawa system that she created is used against her.
    • After Koyanskaya took the curses from Cernunnos under Murian's request, Chaldea decided to take the opportunity to take her down before she becomes a fully formed beast. The curses are even a part of her own boss fight. Following her defeat, Taigong Wong ultimately convinces her to be sent out in space, where she and her reality marble will be away from humans.
  • Horns of Villainy: It's diagnostic, even—a mature Beast always has a "Beast Crown", which usually manifests as horns.
    • Tiamat has giant pair of curved, kinked horns that arc down her back.
    • Goetia has tree branch-like antlers.
    • Kiara has two large horns as Demonic Bodhisattva which become Demonic Pillars as Heaven's Hole, representing her connection with Mara.
    • Kama/Mara has four horns which turn into an entire root system of horns going down made out of stone. When it is destroyed, she reveals a giant Holy Halo with large spikes emitting from it.
    • Fou never matures into Beast IV, but Hero Crystal: Dawn Fou shows his rabbit-like ears transformed into purple bull horns.
    • Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya exaggerates this as she has several set of horns from different animals adorning her head, to fit her theme of absorbing different animals from different Lostbelts.
    • While Beast of Revelation hasn't yet made an appearance, it is commonly described as being a beast with seven heads and ten horns/crowns.
    • Draco, like Fou, hasn't yet matured and so doesn't have horns, although her crowns serve the same purpose visually. Her Idiot Hair also points backwards unlike every other one in the franchise, giving the impression of a horn. Sodom's Beast does have a set of large horns, but they are almost obscured by everything else also attached onto her head, in addition to the large grail hovering over her head.
    • U-Olga Marie has a single small golden horn growing out of the right side of her forehead, plus she has two silver metal horns floating around her head.
  • Knight of Cerebus: When one of them appears, expect things to go downhill fast. They're leagues more powerful than regular Servants, and Anyone Can Die is in full effect. Expect major sacrifices to be made just to bring them down to being defeatable (and definitely NOT easy).
  • Legacy Character: Just like the Grand Servants, each seat can be vacated and then replaced with a different occupant. The only known example is Koyanskaya aiming to become the next Beast IV after Fou gave up the seat.
  • Love Makes You Evil: Rather than using the traditional Seven Deadly Sins, a Beast's common denominator is humanity's primary virtue, love, being twisted towards terrible means. Understanding exactly how a Beast's love was bent out of shape is key to overcoming them.
  • Loophole Abuse: The emergence of a Beast usually results in the summoning of the Grand Servants to counter them, but these menaces can act craftily enough to cheat the system so that they don't have to worry about their natural enemies interfering with their plans.
    • Goetia enacts his plans while hiding away from the Counter Force's surveillance inside his Reality Marble which exists in Void Space outside regular spacetime.
    • Tiamat does gain attention, but since the Counter Force is drastically weakened by the Incineration of Humanity and the Singularities, the most it can muster up against her is just one Grand Servant. Thankfully, the First Hassan lays low until Tiamat is in no position to deal with him.
    • Both halves of Beast III use the same trick Souren Araya used to avoid the Counter Force's attention, restraining their area of influence to a limited territory while they gather power.
    • Draco is in the same situation as Tiamat, and the Grand Servant most suited to dealing with her ability to flood the world, Grand Rider Noah, is summoned to deal with her in Babylon. Unfortunately, Noah isn't as lucky as the First Hassan; Draco refuses to fall into Tiamat's pitfall and immediately seeks out and crushes her designated nemesis. Noah survives by latching onto a nearby Servant, but is far too weak to challenge Draco afterward. The Counter Force ends up bringing him back again as the Grand Rider in Lilim Harlot for round two, this time with Grand Assassin First Hassan for extra power.
    • U-Olga Marie carries out the destruction of humanity from outer space and then acts through her proxies of the Crypters and her emissaries to carry out the plan of successfully spreading a Lostbelt and allowing one of her Trees of Emptiness to fully bloom on the blighted Earth while fighting off the Counter Force's own forces, which in turn would allow her to properly descend onto the planet. While this does get the Counter Force's attention, it's been so weakened by humanity's destruction, the Lostbelts, and the war with the Crypters that it can only muster enough power to summon two Grand Servants to Atlantis/Olympus, as that is the Lostbelt where she will most likely descend, and U-Olga Marie is also willing to allow Tamamo-vitch to ascend to the level of Beast herself to provide some extra muscle on her side in case of such a confrontation.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: The Beasts that we've seen in action so far are incapable of being killed conventionally, due to lacking a concept of death. All are only able to be defeated by the protagonist when an outside force manages to add the concept of death to them. Even when no longer invulnerable, however, they are all extremely tough and durable. Part of this is a result of their Independent Manifestation, a skill that allows them to resist death. The higher the rank is, the more powerful their capabilities of avoiding death are.
    • Tiamat is cut by King Hassan's blade, which forcibly imparts the concept of death upon her, and even then Ereshkigal and Merlin need to cast incredibly powerful spells and blessings to buff the heroes enough to let them stand a chance against her, the former of whom nearly winds up fading permanently from existence for it.
    • Goetia's very existence is destabilized by Ars Nova, which leaves him dying in the mortal shell of Solomon but still with enough strength to challenge the protagonist to a final Duel to the Death.
    • BB and the Alter-Egos intervene when Kiara is about to absorb the protagonist and then utilize the Kiara Punishers you've gathered to create means of weakening Sessyoin to the point where she's defeatable. She's tougher than the rest if you don't get some of the extra options for removing some of her defenses granted by her Logos Eater skill.
    • Kama/Mara is defeated via Nobutsuna setting up an anti-Tokugawa weapon and Kasuga's safety, the former to trick Kama/Mara into giving up her authorities on the Tokugawa and Ooku, allowing Kasuga to use Loophole Abuse to get the upper hand.
    • Fou/Primate Murder is unique in this regard as he's "defeated" by giving up his power and intelligence to revive Mash, willingly sacrificing his own immortality in the process to become a mortal and barely sentient animal.
    • The Beast of Revelations is the only one killed conventionally twice due to not having been fully born when Arthur blasted it with his Excalibur Proto. And in this case, Arthur's introductory trial quest suggests that this will not stop it from trying to manifest fully.
  • One-Letter Name: The two halves of Beast III stand out from the others with special one-letter monikers of 'L' and 'R' to distinguish them from each other. Further meaning is extrapolated by other characters, with BB deciding on the spot that 'R' refers to Rapture, while Kama/Mara declares 'L' to stand for Lapse.
  • Perpetual-Motion Monster: One of their abilities, which is expressed as the Independent Manifestation skill. They don't need a Master to summon them, anchor them so the World won't crush their existence, or even provide them with energy to fight. They'll just keep on going and going until they're killed.
  • Power Levels: Beast Spirit Origin outputs are measured with a Tier # Planetary Class grading scale, with a higher number indicating a lower output. There are also the Satellite and Stellar Classes, which are respectively below and above Planetary Classes.
    • Stellar Class: U-Olga in Nahui Micatlan.
    • Tier One: Draco's mature form.
    • Tier Two: Goetia.
    • Tier Three: Draco's infantile form, U-Olga Marie in Olympus.
  • The Power of Love: All Beasts are motivated by love for humans, though the nature and results of said love varies for each one. Typically, it is that love that drives them to evil, but not always.
    • Beast I is motivated by humanity's suffering and lack of progress, and wants to remake them to they won't have to endure the pain of death anymore.
    • Beast I:L is motivated by how he desires for the extinct humans within the South American Lostbelt to not be forgotten after they all sacrifice themselves in order for him to defeat ORT.
    • Beast II is holding herself back by the part of her that loves her children, weakening herself significantly while the rest of her is trying to exterminate them.
    • Beast III/R loves humans, and wants the best for them as well, except the only one she sees as human is herself.
    • Beast III/L is the most prominent example. As the god(dess) of love, she gains more power by creating karmic bindings connecting her to others, enabling her to reach across time and space to connect with more people, eventually becoming ananga, the formless love that permeates the entire universe. However, she herself states she hates other people while loving them.
    • Beast IV:L is motivated by her love for animals. While she hates all of humanity (except for Hugh Hefner), she was able to become a Beast of Humanity since humans are considered animals.
    • This is the problem with Ashiya Douman's last-minute change to his plan to create his own personal Beast, deciding to absorb his original candidate Ibuki-Douji into his Tree of Emptiness and use that to become a Beast himself. He fails to become one because he lacks any type of love of Humanity.
    • It was initially stated that Aŋra Mainiiu was merely an Effective Knockoff and — despite being called an Evil of Humanity while indwelling the Greater Grail — would not have become a Beast due to only feeling hatred, though Nasu later contradicted this in an interview by saying that Aŋra Mainiiu would have become a Beast of Retribution had it merged with Dark Sakura in Heaven's Feel.
  • Reality Warper: All Beasts have the power to force themselves into reality without the need of magical energy or deliberate summoning rituals.
  • Red Alert: Mixed with Boss Warning Siren, Fight Woosh, and Boss Subtitles, every Beast fought has a special animation intro that ties into their nature. In order of the ones fought;
    • Beast II has red and blue stream of lights forming a helix that merges into nothingness as the caption "Childhood's End" appears.
    • Beast I has Ars Almadel Salomonis appear in the background before it shines, with the text beginning with "Advent Beast" and shifting into "Evil of Humanity".
    • Beast III/R has the caption "Sword or Death" for her strongest form (Which itself is a call back to Extra), and bubbles blowing upward followed by her sigil for her reduced form. If you used Kiara Punishers, she instead goes to her weaker form which begins with "Advent Beast", before her sigil forms and "Evil of Humanity (Fetus)" appears.
    • Beast III/L has the caption "Starry Heavens", followed by a flower that blooms into fire, and then becomes the cosmos as "Evil of Humanity Overflows" appears.
    • Beast IV:L has a meteor falling from a sky before it explodes/blooms into her personal insignia, nine pink tails arranged like a flower petals, then shows "Evil of Humanity Propogates".
    • Beast I:L has glitch effects overly his Beast form's glowing eyes with red and blue Matrix Raining Code in the background before smoke fills the screen and transforms into a cloud of bats. When the bats fly off the screen, it reveals his sigil, and the text "Evil of Humanity" appears, with the final word being too glitched to read in his first intronote  before settling on "Oblivion" in his second intro.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: Their class icon has a unique color palette of deep red and black. This extends to their cards, as the black borders are even darker in shade than Aŋra Mainiiu's card borders.
  • Scissors Cuts Rock: Grand Servants (and to a lesser extent, star attribute Servants) are either the Counter Force's answer to the Beasts, or Servants whose affinity makes them effective against Beasts respectively, but a number of the Beasts have counters to them.
    • Beast I's skill Nega-Summon makes him immune to anything that is Summoned, as he is the origin of all summoning spells. Since Heroic Spirits are summoned, this makes him flat-out immune to Servants, including Grands, and the movie adaptation of Salomon shows that he's able to use it as an attack that unsummons all Heroic Spirits in the Singularity. The only exception is Ars Nova, which still requires the original, non-summoned versions of Solomon's rings.
    • As noted above, Beast II's Nega-Genesis allows her to deal extra damage to Star attribute Servants.
    • Supplementary materials establish that Beast III/R's Noble Phantasm can be classified as Anti-Crown, or in other words effective against the seven Grand Servants.
    • Beast IV:L's Reality Marble actively neutralizes anything from Proper Human History, which includes viable Grand Servants.
    • Beast VI has a bad habit of being slain before it can fully mature. Unfortunately, Beast VI/S realizes she can flip the script. She hunts down her rival Grand Servant the second he's summoned and just beats the shit out of him before he can get his bearings.
  • Secret Art: The Beast Class (and those who have previously held the Beast Class) is denoted by the Independent Manifestation passive skill, which allows them to persist in the world without external aid and immunizes them to death. It is less of an alternative anchor to existence than it is the Beast reading the rules Servants have to abide and saying "screw you, I exist" with sheer willpower.
  • Sexy Dimorphism: The female Beasts tend to have attractive true forms, while the males are monstrous.
  • Sorting Algorithm of Evil: The appearance of one Beast means that another one will inevitably appear and be a threat to the world after its defeat, followed by another with its awakening, etc till the Final Beast. The reason each subsequent Beast is stronger than the last is due to them becoming more powerful as humans advance, so the ones that appear later will naturally be more powerful than their predecessor.
    • Zigzagged, regarding Beast I, as the first Beast to awakennote , was the weakest as a result. But, in actuality, he's shown to be among the stronger Beasts due the energy he absorbed from the Incineration of Humanity, with Da Vinci explicitly describing him as being stronger than every enemy faced after him up to Heian Kyo, putting him above Kiara, Kama, Koyanskaya, and even initially U-Olga Marie.
    • Gilgamesh mentions in Solomon that "Beast VII of the End" has already appeared somewhere in the world.
    • Beast III/R did not achieve her true form, allowing her to be stopped during the second loop in SE.RA.PH. However, her mere existence lets Beast III's other half awaken and begin her own plans for humanity. Beast III/L is far stronger than the R half despite her even more infantile status and brags about it several times.
    • Arthur's interlude reveals that Beast VI's presence in the Grand Order timeline and his quest to defeat it permanently is directly linked to Beast I's defeat.
  • Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors: Each Beast behaves in a unique fashion gameplay-wise, despite technically being the same class. The only Servant who hits all Beasts for double damage no matter what is Aŋra Mainiiu with his Bond 10 Craft Essence equipped.
    • When she's not hijacking Gorgon's Avenger body, Tiamat simply ignores all offensive and defensive advantages, being neutral to all; the Bel Laḫmu which closely guard her share this property.
    • Goetia, both in individual Demon Pillar form and in his collective form at the game's end, is dealt double damage by the cavalry triangle of Rider-Caster-Assassin, deals double to the knight triangle of Saber-Archer-Lancer, and is neutral to Rulers, Alter Egos, Moon Cancers, Foreigners (all the latter having been introduced "after" he was defeated), and Avengers (who take reduced damage from him). In his "King of All Humans" form, however, his Ten Crowns passive skill negates the class affinity weakness, meaning he takes neutral damage from all classes except Alter Ego (who ignore the passive skill, and deal double damage to him), while dealing neutral damage to every class sans Rider and Ruler (who take reduced damage from him).
    • Beast I:L has an updated version of Goetia's strengths and weaknesses. He deals double damage to Foreigners, deals half to Alter Egos, and has full class disadvantage against Moon Cancers.
    • Beast III/R is mostly neutral, but does take extra damage from Alter-Egos and Moon Cancers.
    • Beast III/L is mostly neutral, but does take extra damage from Alter-Egos and Foreigners.
    • Beast IV:L takes neutral damage from all classes and deals neutral damage against all classes except Casters to whom she deals reduced damage, but her Nega-Weapon skill makes her deal double damage against those with Hominidae trait and take double damage against those with Demonic Beast trait.
    • Beast VI/S is advantageous against all seven standard classes, both offensively and defensively, but is in class disadvantage against all of the Extra classes.
    • Beast VI/S Rebloomed has a unique weakness in its boss battle to Support Tiamat (who is buffed for the fight) and Draco (whose advantage is natural). It otherwise has full advantage against everything else (even Shielder!).
    • Much like Tiamat, Beast VII has zero class advantages as well as zero class disadvantages.
  • Threshold Guardians: What the Beasts really are. Though they embody humanity's evils, they're not so much the consequence of those evils as they are a obstacle for humanity to prove they can recognize and overcome those evils. Defeat them and humanity moves closer to a Golden Age; fall to them and society and history as we know it is destroyed beyond recognition, forcing the survivors to start over from scratch and/or be replaced by a new dominant species. Despite the danger they pose, they are rarely if ever classified as a Threat to Humanity because they never seek to harm humanity on purpose*, merely being misguided and serving as a chance to humanity to demonstrate that it can still progress.
  • Villainous Valor: Similar to the Independent Action skill typically found in Archers that gives Servants some free will and lets them survive longer with neither a mana source nor anchor to the world, Beasts have a unique skill called Independent Manifestation that completely negates the need for mana and anchor, and even puts a stopper on death. In a setting where the World actively deletes things that shouldn't exist, the Beasts have less of a cheat skill and more of a declaration of "I exist" that the World can't refute; they exist because of humanity's own twisted love and sins, punish them without cease as a result, and can only be made vulnerable by humanity understanding and overcoming those mistakes.
  • Worf Had the Flu: Incredibly, each of them suffers from a handicap that's preventing them from using their full unrestrained power, which would allow them to end the heroes without a prayer under normal circumstances. It says something about how powerful they are that they need to be further weakened to even have a chance of being defeated.
    • Tiamat has a mental block/compulsion that keeps her from ever using her full power to destroy humanity. She also had a skill called Self-Sealing that gives her self-inflicted pain every so often as an attempt to dissuade herself from going on the rampage. By the time she is actually fought, she also was dumped into the Underworld, had the concept of death imparted onto her by First Hassan, and the heroes had powerful buffs from Ereshkigal and Merlin to even the odds.
    • Goetia lacks the final ring of King Solomon, which would grant him access to Anti-Magic, and by the time he gets it Romani has already casted Ars Nova and he's falling apart and dying, with only the rings left to wield against the protagonist in a final battle.
    • Both Beasts III/R and III/L are still in their "infantile" stages. While this actually doesn't restrain them power-wise, it certainly does restrain their influence. Kiara in SE.RA.PH is only able to exert her power within Seraphix itself since it's become her body, hence the plot to merge it with the Earth's core and make the planet her new body. Kama/Mara has to rely on a very specific authority of the Tokugawa clan in order to retain control over her domain and furthermore, she can't actually fully use it unless people make it all the way down to the bottom of her labyrinth.
    • Primate Murder never had the chance to fully manifest. Spending its time at Mash's side as Fou eventually taught it the value of human life so it willingly sacrificed its own status as a Beast to resurrect Mash.
    • Koyanskaya was forced to start her transformation despite being three tails short of the complete nine she was hoping for because she absorbed Cernunnos's immense curses which are constantly eating away at her on the inside. She ultimately does not attain true Beasthood.
    • Sodom's Beast is more interested in enjoying the end of the world rather than actually destroying it, and she actively challenges Chaldea to see how strong their desires are as the cherry on the top, leading to her getting confronted by multiple individuals who could threaten her.
    • U-Olga Marie lacks a body of her own initially and needs a Tree of Emptiness grown to maturity on Earth in order to descend to the surface and make it her new body, as without it she's vulnerable. When she attempts to use the matured Magellan in the Atlantic Lostbelt, Beryl's act of arson via the burning Seyfert branches damages Magellan and prevents her from manifesting in a completed form, affecting her Authority even if her Spirit Origin is still fine.
    • Camazotz loses his immortality once Nitocris targets his Weaksauce Weakness, and without it he's nothing special.
  • Willfully Weak: Beasts can appear in the Chaldea summoning system if they want to, as each has the ability to summon themselves if they wish, but because the summoning system is meant to stop Beasts, doing so would provoke the Counter Force to throw Servants at them to stop them. To get around this, the majority of playable Beasts willingly weaken themselves so they can qualify as other classes, and allow themselves to be summoned. They are incredibly powerful even when weakened, since they can retain many powers they have naturally, but they cannot use their full might or they will fully manifest as a Beast, even if they fully want to protect humanity when summoned. The only one who doesn't do this is Sodom's Beast, which causes the summoning system to basically crash in response.

"I existed as Solomon, the King of Mages. I am the King of Mages' avatar, as well as the system he created. I am the first familiar he created that became the foundation for you mages. I ruled a nation with Solomon and was left behind when he died, as a primordial curse. I used Solomon's body as a nest and achieved incarnation through a summoning spell.... I am the one who shall attain true wisdom, as was desired of me. I am the one who shall devour you to reach a new height, and create a new planet. I am the the one who shall gather 72 curses, and set flame to all of history. I am the Ritual for the Incineration of Humanity. I am Goetia, the King of Demon Gods."

The First Beast, representing Pity, the law of condescension and contempt for others. It is the aggregate body of the 72 Ars Goetia demons, originally invented by King Solomon as "a system to efficiently promote proper reason". They watched and analysed the entirety of human history, overwhelmed by centuries of suffering and death they perceived; over time, their relationship with King Solomon eroded as Goetia failed to understand why the King of Mages did not act to correct this.

Camazotz

The Death Bat
Full Image
The King of Braves
Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama

"Speak of my name. I am the Champion of the Ka'an. The Spider-Slaying Bat. The king who forsook his crown. The weakling who could not save his world other than by sacrificing every last of his subjects. Come test the lifeblood of Camazotz! Test Xibalba, the depths of hell upon which the people of Ka'an were burned, and the pith of its horror!"

A Mayan bat god associated with night, death, and sacrifice. In the Seventh Lostbelt, he serves as the manager of the four Underworld Borders, being the primary force of opposition to those seeking to descend further into Nahui Mictlān. His true identity is the "Lost" Beast that represents the law of Oblivion, as in being completely forgotten.

The second part of Lostbelt 7 reveals his backstory...and it is tragic.

Initially believed to be the product of a summoning by Tezcatlipoca similar to Tlaloc, this Camazotz actually has nothing to do with Mayan or Aztec mythology and is actually a Lostbelt native. Originally the kind and normal king of the original human race, his rule came to an abrupt end when ORT awakens and goes on a rampage throughout the world. At wits end and facing annihilation, the human race decided to commit a ritualistic mass suicide to give Camazotz the power necessary to combat ORT, transforming him from a regular human to the bat deity he is today, worthy of the Beast class. Despite getting killed over and over and OVER again, his new powers as a Beast ensured his immortality and Camazotz won through sheer attrition, as eventually, EONS LATER, the bat god finds his opportunity to rob ORT of its heart and sends it into a long slumber.

But by then the damage had already been done. Camazotz won the long battle but lost the war, as humanity, his beloved human race, were GONE, leaving him all alone. The revelation and resulting loneliness end up driving Camazotz insane. With the arrival of Chaldea and their entourage, Camazotz sees his opportunity to once again "defend" the human race and will stop at nothing to get the job done...


  • Actor Allusion: Back when he was the king of Mictlān's human population, he was known as "Camazotz the King of Braves", a reference to the full title of GaoGaiGar (The King of Braves GaoGaiGar), which Camazotz's voice actor starred in as Guy Shishioh.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: Despite being a major obstacle for Chaldea, his backstory makes him extremely sympathetic.
  • Animalistic Abomination: His true form is that of a giant, demonic bat roughly the size of the Calamity of the Beast Barghest.
  • Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: In two ways given his initial appearance and classification.
    • He has a mouth full of sharp bat teeth, including a pair of very long canines. His wings are also attached to his arms and torso, with another segment right around his tailbone and legs much like a real bat's wings. His headdress also evokes the image of a bat's head. Finally, befitting his nature as a God associated with Death, he carries a huge scythe with multiple skulls embedded in it.
    • This appearance becomes more profoundly appropriate when bringing in the fact that he's later revealed to be a Beast: his scythe with human skulls embedded in it represents how he benefitted from the reaping of human lives, he still appears mostly human because he once was one, and finally his bat motifs? Well, bats eat insects like flies, mosquitos, crickets, and even spiders, the last of which ORT has motifs towards.
  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: What Nasu stated that Camazotz did after transforming into a Beast following the entire human race sacrificing themselves to empower him. All Camazotz had against ORT was his immortality and sheer determination, so the brave king kept attacking ORT forever until he eventually won, no matter how long it took.
  • Ax-Crazy: He is exactly as vicious and demented as he looks. When one sees his backstory, one can understand why he's so crazy.
  • Badass Boast: He gives one hell of a boast as an answer to the protagonist asking if he really did defeat ORT, confirming that yes he did, and joined Zelretch, Gun God, and Ado Adem on the very short list of people who have defeated an Ultimate One.
    "Did Camazotz defeat ORT? Could Camazotz have defeated that planet-eating monster? Hah... ahaha... HAHAHAHAHA! Absolutely! Slaughter and defeat it I did! I held nothing back as I slew the cataclysm that had consumed the Cosmic Tree Ceiba, and was encroaching upon Mictlan. I threw it into the lava, and with my claws, I flayed open its chest, before I gouged out its bizarre entrails, and so fashioned it a lifeless cadaver. And if so be it you do not believe me, I will demonstrate it to you first-hand."
  • Bat Out of Hell: He has a bat motif and looks incredibly terrifying.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For:
    • He wants to be the Last Master of Humanity and uses the Command Spells given to him by Tezcatlipoca and his own qualities to corrupt the servants Chaldea uses. This gives them the chance to regain the spells and even turn the servants back to their cause and against him.
    • He tries to turn Nitocris into an Alter Servant, only to fail because he didn't have a fourth Command Spell. Nitocris then becomes an Alter of her own volition, specifically to help kick his ass.
    • When ORT was annihilating humanity, he wanted to kill it so humanity could be protected. Well, humanity decided to all sacrifice themselves to power up Camazotz, giving him the skill set he would need to at least outlast ORT and send it back to slumber, but at the cost of the humanity Camazotz held so dear. The realization they're still dead and the potential trauma from fighting ORT also makes him go crazy.
  • Beat Them at Their Own Game: The Command Spells that the protagonist had to trade to Tezcatlipoca to come back to life? Tezcatlipoca gave them to Camazotz, and he uses them to make the protagonist's attempts to cross the underworld borders a living hell.
  • Been There, Shaped History: He's the reason Mictlān has a Sun. It's the result of him repurposing ORT's heart.
  • Beyond the Impossible: He killed ORT, or rather, managed to put the alien into slumber. More than that, he managed to defeat the monstrosity at full power, when its powers rivaled that of the original ORT from PHH. Even if he did so by abusing the Complete Immortality that being a Beast gives him in order to gradually grind away at the Ultimate One before he could cut off its head and tear out its heart, it's still incredibly impressive.
  • Book Ends: The last Beast that the protagonist faces in both Parts 1 and 2 is a version of Beast I.
  • Boss Remix: Unlike other Lostbelts where the Leitmotif is shaped around the map music to be used in scenes and battles featuring the Lostbelt King, Camazotz is the one who has the remix of Nahui Mictlān's map music to be used in the fight against him. This is because he is the actual first god of this Lostbelt shaped by the original humanity to inhabit Mictlān.
  • The Corrupter: Having acquired the Command Spells after they were traded in a deal with Tezcatlipoca, he uses them to turn Chaldea's Servants (Kingprotea, Beni-enma, and Ereshkigal) into "guardians of the underworld", turning them into Alter versions and effectively passing their contract to the land around them itself. The former is fixable by defeating the corrupted Servant, but the latter leaves them stuck in their section of the underworld until the Lostbelt is pruned.
  • Creepy Blue Eyes: Once Camazotz transforms into his Beast form, his eyes changes from a demonic red to a monstrous blue. During his Boss Subtitles intro, his blue eyes can be seen briefly staring at the player before they fade away to reveal his moniker as the Beast of Oblivion.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: He's a monstrous, demonic bat Kaiju with a Flower Mouth and vampiric traits. Despite his sinister appearance and powers, he's shown to not be evil, merely driven insane by the trauma and misfortune he endured in the past, and even now he's still by far the most noble of the Beasts, and is genuinely dedicated to protecting humanity.
  • Deal with the Devil: When Chaldea encounters the Altered Servants they initially assume that Camazotz brainwashed them all. That's not exactly the truth; while he did hijack their contracts, Ereshkigal reveals that the newly crowned "Guardians of the Underworld" actually became Alters of their own volition. Even though doing so means they can no longer return to Chaldea, they voluntarily betray their own principles for greater strength in order to prepare for ORT, who Camazotz knows devoured the Tree of Emptiness.
  • Death or Glory Attack: During his battle with ORT, Nasu mentions in the Famitsu 2023 interview that Camazotz's battle with the invader finally ended by focusing all of his power into a spear stab against the UFO's core at its center, flying against it at full speed. The resulting attack ended up defeating the spider but the effort nearly erased all of Camazotz's body, pulverizing his head, legs and torso, leaving his right hand the only remaining limb still gripping onto his spear, as ORT's flying saucer body collapsed to the ground. Thanks to Camazotz's immortality, he was able to eventually recover.
  • Deity of Human Origin: He used to be the king of all the humans present in the Lostbelt, but ORT's arrival and attack on the humans forced them to all sacrifice themselves in order to empower Camazotz, turning him into a god and Beast of Humanity capable of (temporarily) killing the Ultimate One.
  • Determinator: Camazotz might well be the biggest one in the entire franchise. Even though he had Complete Immortality on his side to stand against ORT, it took him millions of years constantly fighting, failing, and getting back up to finally grind the Ultimate One down. And yet, he never stopped or faltered in his one-man war.
  • Didn't Think This Through: He tried kidnapping Nitocris to make her the guardian of the fourth underworld, but forgot he didn't have a fourth Command Spell to actually do so.
  • The Dreaded: He's this to the deinos, as they're utterly terrified of him, and a lot of other people do their best to avoid a confrontation with him. This is for good reason, as Tezcatlipoca admits that Camazotz would wipe the floor with him, and Daybit, someone on the level of Kirschtaria and, by association, Lostbelt Zeus, was only able to manage a tie by expending a Command Seal. Even U-Olga Marie treads lightly around him, recognizing him alongside ORT and Kukulkan as one of the three beings inside the South American Lostbelt who can defeat her.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Despite enjoying the idea of killing the protagonist and making their trek out of the underworld a living hell, he still likes human history enough to want to protect it in the Protagonist's place. This gets cemented when he finds Tezcatlipoca's plan to unleash ORT to be completely insane.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: When he learns that Nitocris remembers each and every name and face of the spirits she summons to fight for her, he loses it, as he can't understand why she is able to remember such things when he, who loved humanity more than anything else, can't do the same for his own humans who sacrificed themselves for him.
  • Evil Counterpart: He seems to be one to the Protagonist, as he comes up with his own bootleg summoning system derived from what he could gather after acquiring the protagonist's Command Spells and his own domain over death, but it's unstable and has only been able to summon twisted ghosts to his call. It becomes more pronounced in that like the Protagonist, he also was a hero to humanity in the Lostbelt, but they all sacrificed themselves so he could win against ORT while the Protagonist is desperately trying to save and keep his allies alive and can technically expend the Shadow Servants they can create against ORT.
  • Evil Versus Oblivion: Initially appearing as evil, getting wind of Tezcatlipoca's plan to unleash ORT and destroy the planet has Camazotz firmly reject working with his fellow god because he wants Proper Human History and the planet to still exist in some form rather than everything be utterly destroyed by that terrifying threat.
  • Failure Is the Only Option: Depressingly played straight. He genuinely desires to protect humanity, both the memory of his humans and the humanity who could still live in Proper Human History. However he's in a situation where it's impossible to win.
    • For starters, the humanity of his Lostbelt is dead with him as the only survivor, and barely even that due to his Beasthood. Furthermore, his Lostbelt is sustained by the Fantasy Tree, which ORT, the greatest enemy who he spent millions of years to beat, has subsumed it to act as a new core meaning that he ironically has to leave ORT alive if he wants to keep his Lostbelt present. Keep in mind that ORT is desperately trying to reawaken and continue its rampage on the Earth, meaning he may eventually lose if ORT does manage to return to full strength.
    • Secondly, his desire to save PHH's humanity would be rendered null if he kept the Lostbelt running. Inversely, his desire to keep the memory of his humans alive would also be made pointless if he wants to save PHH humanity since his Lostbelt needs to be pruned to keep PHH alive. No matter what, he loses.
  • Fling a Light into the Future: Albeit unintentionally, and ironically a bit literally. In turning ORT's core into the Lostbelt's sun, he not only deprived ORT of much of its power when it reawakened, the core was eventually made to help combat it in the form of Kukulkan. This is the primary factor giving Chaldea a fighting chance against ORT, ultimately letting them finish what Camazotz started.
  • The Fog of Ages: Tying into his theme as the Beast of Oblivion, in this case meaning "to be forgotten", Camazotz has lived so long in the wake of ORT's extinction of humanity that he can't remember the names or faces of even a single person he used to rule. When he discovers that Nitocris can remember her own subjects even as a Heroic Spirit, Camazotz loses it.
  • Foreshadowing: Of a sort, there was actually some foreshadowing to the fact that there was a Beast in the 7th Lostbelt and Camazotz's true nature before the true reveal.
    • The first reveal is in Yuga Kshetra when Daybit arrives to act as a Stealth Mentor to Pepe. Da Vinci notes that Daybit's servant is a Grand Servant. We're initially lead to believe it has something to do with ORT given Daybit's Lostbelt is in South America and materials say ORT resides there. But as Atlantis states with Grand Archer Orion's arrival and what Olympus details with the plan to summon Grand Lancer Romulus=Quirinus, the only way a Grand can be summoned in the first place is if there is a Beast lurking about. Connecting these dots, one can infer that a Beast exists in the South American Lostbelt.
    • The second piece of foreshadowing is how keen Camazotz is upon his appearance to safekeep humanity in place of the Protagonist. At the point this comes up, the players were not informed that humans once did exist in the Lostbelt, yet he showcases immediate love to trying to protect PHH's humanity. While it could be easily explained away by his seeming craziness, it is also potential foreshadowing to him being a Beast of Humanity.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: Once a normal human being, who then became a terrifying bat deity and Beast of Humanity thanks to the sacrifice of the entire human race.
  • From a Single Cell: As described in Camazotz's Death or Glory Attack, the Beast was nearly obliterated taking down ORT, leaving only his right arm behind. Eventually, he regrew his entire being from just the right arm, thanks to his immortality working its magic.
  • Go Mad from the Isolation: When Lostbelt ORT landed on the Earth. there was nothing anyone could do to stop it from exterminating humanity, so they pulled a race-wide Taking You with Me by sacrificing themselves to empower Camazotz with immortality and defeat ORT. The millions of years that followed consisted solely of him fighting ORT until he eventually won, and he had nothing to show for it because his beloved followers were gone. To say this negatively affected his mental state is a dramatic understatement.
  • Gradual Grinder: How he eventually defeated Lostbelt ORT after eons. He kept getting back up and up and up thanks to his immortality until he could remove ORT's heart and put it back to sleep.
  • Hero of Another Story: Once upon a time, a determined and stubborn king fought like hell and sacrificed EVERYTHING to combat a world ending threat, eventually succeeding and saving the world.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Trying to corrupt Nitocris into an Alter backfires spectacularly, as during his final battle with Chaldea, Nitocris Alter uses her newfound powers and authority to hinder Camazotz when she can, preventing him from using some of his Beast abilities.
  • Immortality Hurts: He desperately wants to die and be reunited with his subjects in the afterlife, yet he feels he must live in honor of their sacrifice. He solves the cognitive dissonance by forcing himself to forget everything.
  • Jousting Lance: Before Camazotz's fighting style became the terrifying brute strength of the Beast of Oblivion, whose claws somehow can wield a scythe of all weapons despite his giant size, the Kaan King's preferred method of fighting was with spears according to Nasu. In-game, Camazotz is not seen using any spears to attack.
  • Klingon Promotion: He eventually gets the idea to try protecting the Human Order... by offing the protagonist and becoming the Last Master of Chaldea himself. Despite his massive qualification for the position (namely being defeating ORT, enough to send it back to slumber), his sheer tenacity and desire to keep humanity alive, it's ultimately something that may not be for the best.
  • Large Ham: When you are voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama, this is inevitable. Transforming into his true form, Camazotz starts hamming it up deliciously, screaming all of his lines.
  • Leitmotif: Camazotz's theme, "The Last Brave" is a joyful remix of the Nahui Mictlan theme to convey how the King of Braves will finally find his rest after millennia of isolation and insanity following the unbelievable amounts of sacrifice made to help him.
  • Many Spirits Inside of One: When the people Ka'an sacrificed themselves to make Camazotz immortal, they also merged into his Spirit Origin. All 100 million of them.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: In trying to use the protagonist's Command Seals against him, he gives the protagonist a chance to retrieve them.
  • One-Hit Kill: Camazotz favors trying to defeat his opponents by trying to slam ALL of his power against them, as he did when he first defeated ORT. It's why Nasu requested that one of Camazotz's battle lines be: "One point, focus on only one point!"
  • Oppose What You Suffered: Near the end of the Lostbelt, this is revealed to be the reason why he wants to be the Last Master of Humanity in the Protagonist's place and why he wants to kill them in the process. He knows what it's like to be against impossible odds, facing failure and death over and over again, losing everyone you love and fighting for their survival. Unlike the Master of Chaldea, he is a Beast which comes with the inherent immortality and heightened durability. As such, he honestly feels like he would be more qualified to take on the burden of saving humanity and genuinely doesn't want anyone else shouldering that burden, with him killing the protagonist being more akin to a Mercy Kill than a murder out of arrogance or malice.
  • Overly-Long Tongue: One that's roughly as long as his face, which he loves to wave around whenever he's feeling bloodthirsty.
  • Oxymoronic Being: He's an Evil of Humanity in a timeline where there is no Humanity anymore. This naturally hasn't done his sanity any favors. It's even reflected in the HUD during his boss fight where his Beast Class icon is visibly crumbling to pieces.
  • Pyrrhic Victory: Defeated Type Oort Cloud, one of the most powerful beings in the franchise. It cost him everything.
  • Sinister Scythe: He carries around an absolutely humongous scythe, which is even bigger than he is. Ironically, it's to scale as a handheld sickle when he holds it as a Beast.
  • Slasher Smile: This seems to be his default expression as he goes around flashing it to everyone. Somehow he becomes even MORE terrifying when he loses the smile and its replaced with a look of sheer rage, as he loses his temper against Nitocris and her declaration that she never forgot her subjects as he did.
  • Stone Wall: The only weapon he had against ORT was his absolute immortality that holds firm even before the power of an Ultimate One. In gameplay he doesn't hit particularly hard, but he has a bloated HP bar and buffs himself so he can give himself multiple Guts on both his 2nd and 3rd Break Bars, dragging his fight on even further.
  • Sunk Cost Fallacy: Camazotz's backstory shows how much the fallacy is not worth it. The mass sacrifice of humanity makes avenging them pointless since ORT accomplished its goal anyways, and Camazotz is left to live by himself with nothing but his trauma and suicidial ideation as company for eternity. Despite this, Camazotz keeps pushing himself to live on no matter what even as it eats away at his sanity, trying everyday to convince himself that his people's sacrifice meant something.
    "My warriors! My people! Was I a king worth sacrificing your lives for? Was our kingdom worth sacrificing your families for?! If so...if so, then...!"
  • Things That Go "Bump" in the Night: Camazotz terrifies the Deinos, who regard him as a boogeyman to take refuge from in their house and hope he doesn't try to suck their blood.
  • Token Heroic Orc: The most selfless of the Beasts from his very transfiguration, and also undoubtedly the most miserable.
  • Too Many Mouths: His neck has a second mouth.
  • Tragic Hero: He's revealed to be one in the past of the Seventh Lostbelt. He was once the king of the Lostbelt Humans, but when Lostbelt ORT awakens and proves to be too hopeless to fight, all of humanity in the Lostbelt sacrificed themselves to Camazotz in hopes of making him stronger. It worked, making him utterly unkillable and it allowed him to defeat ORT where no others could. But in the process, humanity is permanently dead and Camazotz became the Beast I:L since humanity was annihilated in his favor, yet he still loved them.
  • Uncertain Doom: Despite seemingly dying in Lostbelt 7, Nasu, in an interview with Famitsu, suggested that Camazotz may not be dead, citing ideas for Beasts from the Lostbelts possibly appearing later.
  • Undying Loyalty: To humanity and his kingdom, he never stopped fighting ORT even after countless millennia and managed to put him to slumber by removing his heart. Very literal on the "undying" part.
  • Villain's Dying Grace: As he dies following his final defeat, he saves Nitocris from falling to her death, as he wants her to continue to help Chaldea ensure that at least one version of humanity will survive.
  • Villainous Crush: Camazotz becomes fascinated with Nitocris after observing her abilities and learns that she remembers the name of her undead, which peaks when he claims that she would make a worthy queen for him even as she actively opposes him as a Servant of Chaldea.
  • Weak, but Skilled: His Beast form is one of the smallest seen onscreen, and his immortality is rather quaint compared to how his counterparts have flashier ways to avoid death. However, he's been honing his comparatively modest powers for longer than any of them, he never gives up, and even berserk, he has enough focus and dexterity to still use his scythe for his Noble Phantasm strikes.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: His immortality is contigent on him repressing his trauma by forgetting everything in his past except for the broad details so that he can live on in honor of his subjects. Nitocris Alter renders him vulnerable by forcing everyone within her Underworld Border to remember everything.

"Aaaaaahhhh-"

The primordial Goddess of Chaos from Mesopotamian mythology. She is the Second Beast, who represents Regression, the law of resenting growth and progress. Tiamat was in deep slumber before being freed by a combination of the Human Order falling apart, the power of a Grail, and Chaldea's attack on Gorgon. She immediately followed her instincts and began the extermination of humanity.

While she has a grudge for being abandoned after her purpose was fulfilled, she indulges in joy of once again becoming the mother of everything. Behind her hatred towards humanity lies joy towards humanity for becoming a mother, as well as love towards humanity, them being the children of her first-generation children. Thus Tiamat binds herself as a mother's love is something necessary for growth, but it is unnecessary for adults. In order for humanity to advance, they must overcome the "original woman".

Tiamat is the main villain of the Seventh Singularity: Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia. For the first part of the story she uses Gorgon's body for her purposes but later shows up first as her humanoid form, Femme Fatale, before she unleashes her gigantic dragon-like monster form.
  • Always a Bigger Fish: The bigger part is quite literally taken. While Tiamat's final form is much bigger than Kingprotea, Tiamat is like a small pet compared to Kingprotea using her Noble Phantasm.
  • Arc Villain: Of Babylonia.
  • An Arm and a Leg: King Hassan slices off one of her wings, which is part of how he imparts the concept of death onto her. This stops her from flying out of the Underworld as well.
  • The Assimilator: The Sea of Life that manifests around her as a Personal Skill is part of her. Anything that gets pulled under is genetically rewritten and re-birthed as one of her children. In-game and during the final battles, it deals 3,000 damage to your party per turn and it's only mitigated by Merlin's own magic healing over it with 4,000HP per turn.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: She is able to grow from her Femme Fatale state to a dragonic form of over 60 meters in length. Within 7 days, her size could overtake the Indian Ocean and her official measurements goes from 160 cm to 7,400,000 square kilometers due to it including the black mud. Taken up to eleven when her body is dumped into the underworld, causing her Regression to the Jurassic Age to go berserk. Jaguar Man says that in this state, she will be able to cover the entire planet in her Sea of Life in less than a day.
  • Beam Spam: Her primary form of attack.
  • Behemoth Battle: Heavily implied to be the case in her duel against Marduk, given the enormous size of his Axe.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: As noted above, all Beasts have this trait. However it is particularly severe for Beast II. As far as she is concerned, anyone or thing that prevents her from being the mother of all is evil and any child of hers that doesn't love her simply does not compute. Deep down though, she is aware her children must eventually grow up without her, leading to a Heel Realization in the anime.
  • Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: By the time you defeat her, nearly everyone you met during the Singularity is dead, the Sumerian Underworld is implied to be outright destroyed, and she isn't even dead, merely sealed back into Void Space to slumber once more. The anime goes even further with Fujimaru having to convince Tiamat to power down so that Gilgamesh could deal the final blow.
  • Call-Forward: Tiamat was briefly alluded to all the way back in Tsukihime. Fabro Rowan, better known as the 10th Dead Apostle Ancestor Nrvnqsr Chaos, once studied the Age of Gods and gained immortality by creating an Evil Knockoff of her Sea of Life with his Reality Marble, Lair of the Beast King. This Reality Marble turns his body into a chaotic mishmash of 666 different beasts bound in the shape of a human that can separate for combat, and even Nrvnqsr doesn't know which beast will pop out beforehand. He explicitly compares this ability to the Primordial Sea that created all life on earth, referencing Tiamat's Sea of Life being a living womb capable of creating randomized offspring.
  • Canon Welding: Her lines as a playable Alter Ego confirm that she talked with the protagonist in her mind as depicted in the anime adaptation.
  • Chained by Fashion: Her Femme Fatale form's arms and legs are bound together by thin golden chains, a representation of her suppressing her desire to kill humanity.
  • Climax Boss: Tiamat is Goetia's trump card against humanity, personally summoned by him sending his seventh Holy Grail into the past to ensure that his plan succeeds. The long battle against her marks one of the darkest points in the story yet, and the heroes have to pull out all stops and make several sacrifices just to barely beat her. Chaldea's victory over her triggers the endgame of Observer on Timeless Temple as Goetia now recognizes Chaldea as a true threat for defeating a fellow Beast and summons the final Singularity in an attempt to destroy them.
  • Complete Immortality: Besides her ungodly powerful defenses, she is hypothesized by both Roman and Gilgamesh to have this, as a form of Paradox Person. She is the alpha and the omega of life on Earth, which means she cannot die until she's the last living thing on Earth. Due to this, she lacks the concept of death, and cannot be killed by anything unless it can No-Sell that part of it. Even getting blasted by a full power Enuma Elish after being rendered mortal isn't enough to actually kill her, just send her back to Void Space to sleep again.
  • The Corruption: Tiamat's Sea of Life, also known as Chaos Tide, generates a cursed black mud that corrupts all life it comes into contact with, turning them into "a child of Tiamat" with a variety of abilities including Self-Modification, Enviromental Modification, Environmental Fusion, and Authority of the Beast, making it extremely similar to Aŋra Mainiiu's "All the World's Evil".
    • Her Sea of Life/Chaos Tide is her Authority given form, and is so potent that it can overwrite the territory of other divinities. The Hope Spot of Ishtar and Ereshkigal dumping her into the Underworld to get around her immortality is swiftly kicked aside when the Chaos Tide starts flooding the Underworld.
  • Cute Little Fangs: The anime, which gives us several close ups of Tiamat's "Femme Fatale" form, shows that she has this in spades. Downplayed somewhat as the fangs are quite big up close.
  • Cute Monster Girl: Her original 'Femme Fatale' form: beautiful, light-blue-haired woman with lacy black and blue (or red, depending) sleeves and little else for clothing, covering her breasts with her arms. Her real form? Not so much.
  • Deflector Shields: In the Babylonia anime, she can project a number of pinkish circular shields that was able to block Quetzalcoatl's modified Noble Phantasm, Ultimo Tope Patada, which at that point was replicating the meteorite that killed the Dinosaurs. If Quetzalcoatl didn't get boosted by a Command Seal, and sacrificed herself to make her hit go through, Tiamat's barrier would have held. Not that it did much to Tiamat when it did break through.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the Nasuverse version of Enûma Eliš, Marduk defeated her by slitting her throat with his axe. In the original, he shot her heart with his bow.
  • Draconic Abomination: By the time she assumes her Draconic Corpus form, Tiamat takes on a quadrupedal form, grows more reptilian, and sprouts true wings, giving her a very strong look of a dragon. However, it's still mixed up with humanoid features, which makes it look all the more horrifying.
  • Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Unlike the physical manifestation, the mental version Fujimaru meets has eyes which reflect little to no light.
  • Eldritch Abomination: Her monstrous Titan and Draconic Corpus forms defy any explanation. She's a primordial monster of horrific implications and she looks the part.
  • Establishing Series Moment: Before the Seventh Singularity, the Beasts were a background threat hinted at in side conversations and supplementary material, while Chaldea's main purpose at the time was simply to correct distortions in history. Then Tiamat appears in the flesh, the first of the Beasts to do so, and suddenly the stakes skyrocket to a "Save the World" Climax. It really sets the tone of just how horrifying the Beasts are and why Chaldea needs to stop them.
  • Exotic Eye Designs: On top of having pink eyes, she has a strange glowing X-shaped mark overlaid on top of her pupils that are present in all of her forms.
  • Expy: She shares a lot of similarities with Aŋra Mainiiu: being an Ancient Evil, spreading The Corruption, being a nonstandard class, and its usage of Gorgon as a vessel parallels Aŋra Mainiiu using Sakura as its avatar. Ironically, Aŋra Mainiiu is one of the only Servants suited to defeating her. Nasu himself later confirmed that these similarities are wholly intentional.
  • Fallen Angel: Tiamat is repeatedly referred to as a god who fell to Beasthood, and no longer resembles the Tiamat of old, her title "the Goddess of Creation" now a falsehood. All that remains is a monster that destroys the world.
  • Fan Disservice: While her first form is definitely a case of Ms. Fanservice, the same cannot be said for her followup forms. Her Titan form is mostly naked, with her breasts and crotch bare for all to see, but beyond them being featureless, the overall form feels too much like a mockery of the female human form to find appealing. Meanwhile, her Draconic Corpus form has a pair of large, round, and shapely breasts, some decently meaty thighs, and is completely naked, all of which otherwise completely clashes with the absolutely monstrous appearance of the rest of her body.
  • Fighting from the Inside: At all times she is fighting her desire to exterminate humanity with her innate love for her children, holding herself back enough to be beaten and sealed away.
  • Giant Flyer: Her Titan form can fly by using Self-Modification to turn her larger horns into biological jetpacks, while Draconic Corpus uses massive wings. This is massive hinderance to the heroes since their plan to dump her into the Underworld will be useless if she can just fly out of it. King Hassan has to cut her wings to keep her permanantly grounded in the final battle.
    • In the anime as King Hassan is unable to deal any significant damage to her wings due to reasons explained below, but still somehow succeeds in grounding her since she doesn't use her wings to fly again.
  • Glacier Waif: Her Femme Fatale form appears svelte and light, but as a standard her Strength ranking is A+, putting her on par with Heracles himself, and that's to speak nothing of her EX Durability while holding a lesser C in Agility. Mind, this is all before implementing her Monstrous Strength at A++, after which she's very likely the strongest character period in terms of sheer physical power.
  • Glasgow Smile: Her Draconic Corpus form's mouth stretches down all the way to her neck, and it's lined with very sharp teeth. She open it wider than normally possible like a snake because of this.
  • Heel Realization: In the anime, Tiamat asks Fujimaru if she was mistaken to try and stay by humanity's side out of love no matter what, despite having those feelings rejected being the cause of her genocidal campaign.
  • Hero Killer: Personally kills several major characters and forces others to expend their life trying to slow her down. Notably the first time the protagonist is forced to withdraw due to injuries.
  • Hidden Buxom: Hidden in that she conveniently hides her breasts with her folded, bound arms. You can't tell with her sprites or her profile picture with her arms in the way, but material art has her as being nearly-on par with Raikou and Gorgon in the chest department.
  • Hot God: Creator of life on the Planet as we may, or may not, know it and just look at her.
  • I Just Want to Be Loved: Tiamat really just wanted to love her children and be loved by them. In the anime, Fujimaru assures her that they all continue to love her as their mother.
  • Impossible Hourglass Figure: For the Primordial Mother of all life, she has got it going for her.
  • Incendiary Exponent: Just like its lesser derivative the Mud of the Grail caused the Fuyuki City Fire, the Chaos Tide can set objects on fire upon contact as seen in the anime.
  • Insistent Terminology: Tiamat is referred to as mother over and over in the Babylonia singularity to show her status as the creator of life on the planet even if that term isn't necessarily correct. Both Ishtar and Quetzalcoatl call her mother despite the fact Tiamat is actually Ishtar's great-great-grandmother and Quetzalcoatl came from outer space and thus isn't descended from Tiamat.
  • It Can Think: Tiamat's inability to speak any formal language and penchant for animal instinct would lead one to think she's merely a destructive force, but her song is actually her own language, and she demonstrates her intelligence by taking a shot at the Protagonist from afar in recognition that she wins if Humanity's Last Master is killed. In the anime it is heavily implied that even in her more bestial form she completely understands what Merlin and everyone else is saying, and Fujimaru is able to have a full-on conversation with her where he convinces her to let herself die.
  • The Juggernaut: Once she takes on her true form she steamrolls everything on her way to Uruk. The heroes could have stalled her for a significant time with Ishtar's Bull of Heaven Gugalanna, but her failure to summon it meant they had to take half baked desperate measures that barely slow her down.
  • Kill It with Fire: When she finally gets to Uruk, her black mud somehow sets it on fire.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Though the Singularity isn't exactly light-hearted before her appearance, once she really starts baring her teeth, the plot turns in a horrific direction that would make Muv-Luv proud of its sheer vore and nightmarish atmosphere. The battle start text in the final battle against her even reads "CHILDHOOD'S END", implying that mankind will finally leave childhood by killing its mother.
  • Literally Shattered Lives: According to FGO Materials IV, when Marduk defeated Tiamat, she turned into mud and then crumbled away.
  • Living Ship: Dr. Roman notes upon the appearance of her Titan form, that Tiamat can produce enough magical energy to be capable of interstellar travel. Combined with the numerous primordial species preserved inside her body, he notes that Tiamat has the capacity to be an Ark of the gods.
  • Loophole Abuse: Tiamat's status as the alpha and omega of all life on earth gives her immortality since she cannot die if anyone else is alive, including the heroes. They get around this by dumping her in the Underworld beneath Uruk, where Ereshkigal can deem anyone inside as alive or dead as she pleases, leaving Tiamat technically as the last person alive. Even this is not enough to make her vulnerable however once she starts taking control of the Underworld through her Chaos Tide, until Merlin temporarily neutralizes it and the First Hassan makes sure she stays vulnerable afterward.
  • Mad God: Her profile says that her losing her mind from what has been done to her in the past or her simply never having such a thing as sanity to begin with are both plausible ideas. However, she's still filled with love for her children.
  • Magic Missile: Shoots you with one of these. It's so fast and so accurate that the only reason you survived is because Gilgamesh saw it happen in the future and blocked it with his body.
  • The Maker: Quetzalcoatl notes that she has the potential to create even more worlds which is why she was sealed away in the first place; any world she might create might interfere with man's world or strip them of their dominance thus she was sealed away to prevent the possibility.
  • Master of the Mixed Message: Hoo boy. Tiamat both loves and hates her children, is trying to kill them and stop herself from doing so, and her final words in the anime succinctly sums it up.
    Tiamat: Please don't leave me. Please never... love me again.
  • Might as Well Not Be in Prison at All: She's sent back in Void Space after the Babylonia Singularity but the seal on her prison is permanently gone so there's nothing stopping her from sending pieces of herself outside or breaking free other than her own will.
  • A Million Is a Statistic: Her attitude towards a Master, should she somehow be summoned, is that they are simply one in seven billion of the things she must exterminate.
  • Monster Progenitor: The first one, at that. Her offspring become more and more horrid as the story goes on, starting with things like lions and chimeras before she almost exclusively starts birthing gibbering, twitching black four-legged arthropods with a crippled fetus-like human body hanging under said legs with strings of flesh for arms that communicate entirely through gibberish letters.
  • Mook Maker: She's constantly spawning Laḫmu to assist her in destroying humanity, because of her innate love for them prevents her from doing so directly. Unlike her other children, the Laḫmu are classified as extensions of herself.
  • Mother of a Thousand Young: Every monster in the Seventh Singularity is born from her. Hell, she's in essence the progenitor of the Primordial Soup, so it could be said that she's the mother of almost all life.
  • Ms. Fanservice: She's very good looking in her Femme Fatale form, but not in her other forms.
  • Murder Water: The anime depicts her Chaos Tide as more than just black water, but being alive in some way. At one point, it defies gravity to crawl up the Persian Gulf observatory and destroys it in a manner akin to a white blood cell swallowing a foreign object then breaking it down.
  • My Beloved Smother: Tiamat does love humanity as her children, but she can only express that love with the desire to effectively melt all of humanity down into primordial life and stuff them all back up into her womb. Just as every child who grows up must one day learn to stand on their own without their mother's love, so too must humanity as a whole move on from the original mother. And, just as growing up sometimes means slipping the grip of a parent who has trouble letting go, so humanity must overcome Tiamat's mad, selfish desire to keep them her primordial children for eternity.
    Tiamat: My children have used me as a ladder, and they always head to places so far away. I want to love them forever. I want to be at their side forever. Is my love... mistaken?
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: Not only does she nullify all attacks of Ranks A++ and below, she is also completely immune to super-high tier attacks like selective time paradoxes because she exists across spacetime as a four-dimensional being. Quetzalcoatl using her Piedra Del Sol Noble Phantasm to vaporize a good chunk of her Sea of Life doesn't seem to do any actual damage to Tiamat herself, and in the anime Quetzalcoatl then using her strongest attack that hits with the power of the comet that killed the dinosaurs at worst just makes Tiamat fall to her knees. Ana transformed into her Gorgon form and using the full power of her NP is only able to take off a single horn and prevent her from just flying to Uruk at the cost of her life. The most absurd moment of this is when she gets hurt by Ishtar and Ereshkigal simultaneously while in the Underworld, and not only does it only seem to bother her, but she quickly uses the Chaos Tide to weaken Ereshkigal's control of the Underworld and assume her full form. It takes a combination of being stuck in the Underworld, Merlin changing her Chaos Tide into flowers, and King Hassan's Noble Phantasm giving her a concept of death for her to finally be in a state where she can be actually defeated, and even then she doesn't go down until Archer Gilgamesh is summoned with Ea in hand to finish the fight.
    Merlin: Two goddess trying to ground her, a pitfall into the Underworld with Uruk as bait, the Chain of the Heavens binding her, the punishment of the Underworld, and my beautiful flowers. Everyone has tried everything under the sun to get even this far. But it's still not enough.
  • Noodle Incident: The circumstances behind her first banishment is vague with contradictory details, but it seems she was weakened after a grand battle against the god and her descendant Marduk that ended with him slitting her throat with his axe, then humanity banishing the weakened Tiamat to Void Space.
  • No-Sell: Her particular variation of the Beast skill, Nega-Genesis, ties into her status as the origin of all life, and thus confers heavy resistance to damage originating from all life created from a womb or resulting from the normal continuation of human history and the Human Order. What this means is that pretty much everything fails to damage her seriously save for the strongest of deity based attacks.
  • Not Good with Rejection: Getting discarded by humanity has filled her with resentment and sadness, which she expresses by wanting to kill them all.
  • Oh, Crap!: Once King Hassan forces the concept of death upon her and destroys her wings she brings her full might to bear, starts fleeing towards the border of the Underworld, and begins to desperately try and escape knowing she's not invincible anymore.
  • One Bad Mother: Her Demonic Beasts effectively exist to serve her and she has no attachment to them. Through her Laḫmu she even removes the grail from Kingu's body and leaves him to die after serving his purpose while letting him know he was never her child and always disposable in her eyes.
  • One-Winged Angel: Her Dragonoid form, where she displays her full-power potential and transforms into a massive chimera-like winged beast, following Kingu's Heroic Sacrifice on her and being made to fall into the Underworld. It's even more massive than her already massive second form as well. Even with the Clipped-Wing Angel property of her internal love for humanity still working against her this late into the story, it's still by far her most powerful form.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: She looks vaguely draconic in her enormous monster form, and has huge horns and a tail in her humanoid one, but most of the dragon motif has been sidelined for sheer chaotic monstrous horror.
  • Paradox Person: Her existence hinges on that she was the progenitor of all life, which means that as long as there is one of those lives still kicking or something having been born from one of those lives, then she always has a tether to existence and thus cannot die. This makes taking her down a big problem because the destruction of all life is obviously what everyone is trying to prevent. Ereshkigal manages to temporarily revoke this protection by dumping Tiamat in the Underworld, a place where living or dead is literal 0 or 1 value Ereshkigal herself decides. However, not even this is enough to defeat her as she is able to use the Chaos Tide to override her control of the Underworld.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: Oh yes. To give an idea of how much damage she can inflict, even while still partially sealed and only in her "Femme Fatale" form she can gather enough energy to be comparable to a hydrogen bomb in power and wipe out a city the size of Uruk off the map. After being unsealed, she can wipe out all life on the planet simply by virtue of existing.
  • Physical God: The primordial goddess and progenitor of the Mesopotamian pantheon hailing from all the way back in the Age of Genesis. Unlike most of the other deities in the Nasuverse who appear as the degraded and weakened Divine Spirits who have lost their physical form, Tiamat is still a true god with all her original splendor and might, and has no need of a host, Servant container, or other workarounds to manifest in the world.
  • Please, Don't Leave Me: The source of her pain. Deep down, she's just lashing out from being rejected by humanity, which she perceives as them not reciprocating her love. The anime makes this explicit as she begs Fujimaru, one of the last humans left, not to leave her.
  • Pocket Dimension: Her profile describes her as such; her long stay in the Void Space has made her into a four-dimensional pocket that exceeds the laws of space-time, making her immune to things like selective time paradoxes.
  • The Power of Creation: Her Sea of Life is not just The Corruption in liquid form, but also the power to create new life itself. Merlin exploits this by "reprogramming" the Sea of Life to create harmless flowers right before it can drown and corrupt the heroes, allowing them to finally close the distance and beat her up.
  • Power Tattoo: Has a menacing-looking set of blue lines around where her womb would be. They glow red when she's enraged.
  • Primal Fear: And according to her profile, it seems to go both ways. She's deathly afraid of us after what was done to her in the distant past, and we're afraid of the monster that can end the world without doing anything but following its instincts.
    To humans, Beast II is a horrifying invader, but to Beast II, humans are frightening aliens.
  • Primordial Chaos: The sheer power of her Authority is half because she originated from the Age of Genesis. The other half being a derivative of the Earth Mother Goddess.
  • Race Against the Clock: After Tiamat turns into her Kaiju form, you have roughly two days before she gets to Uruk and destroys it. The protagonists spend most of the remaining time trying to slow her down. In many of the battles fought during this period, there is a background animation of her walking in the distance. If you take too long to kill the enemies, she will walk out of sight though this doesn't have any actual bearing on the plot.
  • Reality Warper: She has the potential to create another world which is half the reason why she was killed/sealed away in the first place. She also has a skill, Nega-Genesis, that in layman distorts reality so that she is the one who created the world and populated it with life.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: Her sleeves have the same color scheme as Aŋra Mainiiu's by-now famous red and black motif. Hers come from her relation to the Void Space, where she was dumped after her role as the primordial mother was finished.
  • Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain: When King Hassan imposes the concept of death upon her and her Spirit Origin finally becomes more similar to a Servant, Dr. Roman notes her core is located not in her heart, but inside her head and brain, which is why the heroes need to climb up there and attack there.
  • Restraining Bolt: Femme Fatale was suppressing Tiamat's genocidal desire towards humanity and was why she hadn't acted with full force after awakening. Killing her removes what was left of Tiamat's love and allowed her full appearance to emerge and begin heading towards Uruk, but even if they hadn't, Tiamat was powering up an attack that would destroy Uruk instantly, leaving them no choice but to distract her by killing Femme Fatale.
  • Sapient Eat Sapient: In order to respawn and replace life with her Laḫmu, she needs to get it inside herself somehow — and, as Ushiwakamaru discovered, this too is a very viable option for Tiamat.
  • Scars Are Forever: Marduk left a massive scar on her torso that never fully healed. It's normally not visible, but by the time she transforms into her Draconic Corpus form her Self Sealing Skill has dealt so much damage the wound opens up again. It's never shown in-game, but it does show up in the anime adaptation.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: Merlin was keeping her sealed away and asleep with his magic, before Gorgon's death causes Tiamat to kill him, which fully frees her to attack Uruk.
  • Self-Harm: FGO Materials IV says that in her final form her self sealing skill was dealing a significant amount of damage to herself in order to prevent herself from destroying mankind.
  • Shapeshifter Baggage: Averted. Quetzalcoatl notes that even gods are bound by the law of conservation of energy and mass. Quetzalcoatl could theoretically shapeshift to match Titan Tiamat's size, but doing so would use up all her energy if she could even reach that size in the first place. Therefore, Tiamat's overwhelming power despite how gigantic she's become is used to demonstrate just how much more energy she has compared to everyone else. It also helps that since Tiamat predates the world she is not bound by the worlds rules.
  • Single Tear: She sheds one in the anime while talking to Fujimaru along with a Tearful Smile as she says her last wishes and farewells to him.
  • Sinister Nudity: Her transformations into her Titan and Draconic Corpus forms lack the fairly small amount of clothing from her humanoid form, but these two forms are much too monstrous in appearance to be titillating. Before the extermination of mankind at her hands was prevented, almost everyone encountered during her singularity had died and there are hints at the Sumerian Underworld's destruction by the time she gets sealed back up in the Void Space.
  • Square-Cube Law: Zig-Zagged. Roman notes after scanning her that her legs aren't powerful enough to hold up her weight on land, which is part of the reason why she needs to use the Chaos Tide to flood the plains before her to keep going and what motivates the heroes' attempts to buy time for Uruk by burning away the Chaos Tide. However, not only can Tiamat replenish it as fast as they can destroy it, but she then surprises everyone by growing a massive pair of wings from her back and beginning to take off into the sky, with everyone incredulous something so big could do that.
  • Statuesque Stunner: Tiamat's minimal size is listed on her profile as 160 cm, so the waifish build of her Femme Fatale form would lead one to believe it's quite small, but when she's engaged in battle, where all sprites are made to scale, she's about as large as Heracles or Lu Bu. Tiamat is also exceedingly beautiful in her first form, with a soft face, exotic glowing eyes, long flowing hair, smooth curves, wide hips, and buxom bosom fitting for the Mother of All Life.
  • A Storm Is Coming: Once Tiamat awakens, she is always accompanied by a dark thunderstorm and a flood of the Chaos Tide.
  • Straight for the Commander: When Gilgamesh bombards her with Melammu Dingir and Ereshkigal moves the Underworld in preparation for trapping her, Tiamat responds by not paying attention to either, but instead by gazing straight at the Protagonist before unleashing a magic laser from her mouth from across the city to kill them. You can see the sheer panic on Gilgamesh's face when he realizes what's about to happen, and only barely manages to shield them with his body, suffering a fatal blow that gives him only a few minutes to survive.
  • Stripperific: Not only does she not even have a bra, forcing her to cover her breasts with her arms at all times to not bump the age rating up a notch, she's dressed in nothing but a thong and some sci-fi looking knee-highs, combined with some detached sleeves.
  • Super-Scream: In the anime, her Femme Fatale form's songs are so powerful that they produce shockwaves that force everyone to stay back and engage her from a distance.
  • Super-Strength: On top of already having A+ ranked strength, Tiamat can further boost it with her A++ ranked Monstrous Strength skill by using the Sea of Life to assume her draconic form, giving her the strength of a titan. It's enough to snap through the Chain of the Heavens powered by Kingu sacrificing all his life force and Gilgamesh's Holy Grail in a moment.
  • Support Party Member: In her restrained Femme Fatale form, despite Dr. Roman's findings, Tiamat does not possess any attacking moves or even the Chaos Tide field effect. What she does instead is simultaneously debuff your party and buff her accompanying Laḫmu... which leaves Tiamat as a sandbag if the Laḫmu are slain first.
  • Swallowed Whole: Her monster form's ultimate attack, aptly titled Nammu Duranki: Child, Abide the Laws of Creation.
  • The Swarm: One of her attacks is a rolling wave of blackness reminiscent of insects.
  • Sympathy for the Devil: Despite her genocidal motives, the story and the characters treat her with sympathy and understanding as a goddess gone mad but still filled with love, and her defeat is portrayed as a somber and bittersweet affair. The anime emphasizes this in her conversation with Fujimaru, begging him not to leave her while crying.
  • Talking the Monster to Death: In the anime, Tiamat is finally defeated when Fujimaru connects to her mind and decides not to kill her but instead reassure her that even though humanity has grown up and left her behind, they never stopped loving her despite what each side did to the other, convincing her to stop fighting and let Gilgamesh finish her off.
  • The Unintelligible:
    • Zigzagged. She communicates entirely through song-like tones that are read "A———AAAAAA" or "LAAAAAAAAA". Only her children can actually understand what she's saying. One of only two exceptions is when Kingu appears near the end of Babylonia to slow her down and strike down the Laḫmu she sent to attack the protagonist and Gilgamesh, where she vocalizes his name. The other is during a cutscene in the "Welcome to the Jungle" section where the protagonist hears a voice that is heavily implied to be Tiamat speaking normally, making it effectively the only time she says anything humans can understand and isn't one word.
      "-on't go-" "-Don't go-" "-on't leave-" "-Don't leave me-"
    • The anime cuts out the two noted exceptions in the game, but also adds a noticeable scene where Fujimaru faces Tiamat within her mind, apparently representing what sanity she has left by this point, and they're able to have an actual conversation.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: As previously noted above, she is quite likely the strongest character in terms of raw physical strength and possesses essentially infinite magical energy. However, she was built to create life, not necessarily to destroy it and her skills reflect that. She lacks any abilities, skills or even Noble Phantasms that would allow her to personally and actively kill anything. Even the Chaos Tide and Nega-Genesis's sheer corruptive and destructive power are technically just byproducts of their true purpose in helping Tiamat facilitate the birth of new life from the old. So while her physical and magical strength is absurd, she is by all rights hitting you with and defending herself with spells she pulled out of her ass while her children do the real work. She is still one of the strongest beings in the story with that factored in.
  • Villain-Beating Artifact: Tiamat is conceptually weak to the Axe of Marduk since it was used to defeat her long ago. Unfortunately, the heroes break the Axe by smashing it against Gorgon's Bloodfort under the impression she was Tiamat, depriving them of a critical weapon when the real deal emerges.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: She can remold her Spirit Origin using her Sea of Life which is listed as her Self-Modification Skill, and thus her physical form is not limited by any stretch of the imagination.
  • White Hair, Black Heart: Though it's not like we can communicate with her, she seems to be set on nothing less than Mankind's complete annihilation.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: She's a Beast because she was cast aside to the Void Space as soon as life could prosper on its own, making a womb who could produce infinite, random offspring unnecessary. Essentially, Tiamat is the living embodiment of matricide.
  • Worf Had the Flu: FGO Materials shows that Tiamat fundamentally cannot or will not use her full power to destroy humanity. She has a self-sealing ability that effectively limits her power to a fraction of her full strength and it gets much stronger in effect as she moves from the ocean to land. It's telling of her threat level that she still nearly eradicated the world despite all of these safety precautions.
  • World-Wrecking Wave: The Chaos Tide she continuously produces from under her can do this easily if given enough time to spread, as it will absorb and break down all life it touches and convert it into material for her to birth new life.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness:
    • Once she gave birth to humanity, they saw no need for a mother that could have replaced them with another species and banished her to Void Space.
    • Ironically, she pulls it herself against Kingu. Once he had awakened her from her sleep, she orders the Laḫmu to take the Holy Grail powering him from his chest and bring it to her.
  • Your Head Asplode: After destroying her Spirit Origin in her head, it explodes, taking most if not all of the Sumerian Underworld in the blast.

    Beast III/L 

Kama/Mara

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pa38ywpirtp21.png
The Demon King of Passion
Initial form
Voiced by: Noriko Shitaya

"No matter how much you kill... Or how much you lie... Or how much you drink... Or how much you steal... Or how much you fornicate... Really, no matter how worthless you are... I'll still love you, even if you go to hell. That is the proof of my love. Whatever you want to do, I'll accept it unconditionally and love you anyway..."

One half of Beast III, where the 'L' stands for 'Lapse', and representing 'Depravity' of the greater law of "Pleasure". It "gives nothing but love to humanity", drowning humanity in an infinite bliss where it feels as if all of your hopes and dreams have come true; thus destroying one's motivation and need for worldly attachments.

Mara, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, is the demon told in Buddhist myths who rules the last of the six heavens of the desire realm, the heaven which controls other's emanations. She is the demon who tried to prevent Gautama Buddha from reaching enlightenment, was it by transforming into attractive women, throwing flaming plates at him, raining down stones and weapons on him and so on. However, Buddha countered all of Mara's schemes and thus he reached enlightenment.

Beast III/L is a fusion of the demon Mara and the Hindu god Kama, who is seen as Mara's counterpart for interrupting Shiva's meditation. They represent the negative and positive aspects of "love" respectively. They stabilized their Spirit Origin by inhabiting a certain girl, whose personal history and previous Pseudo-Servant fusion split her into a "good half" and an "evil half", with Kama/Mara inhabiting the "evil half". Control over the body is usually 60% Kama and 40% Mara, but after the gods looking after her were absorbed by Arjuna in the Indian Losbelt, the balance of power to shift significantly in Mara's favour and Kama/Mara awoke as a true Evil of Humanity.

She first appears as the villain of the Cosmos in the Lostbelt limited time event "Tokugawa's Restoration Labyrinth: Ooku".


  • Alas, Poor Villain: As she dies from Parvati's attack, she desperately cries that all she wanted was to love and to be loved, screaming that it can't end like this and begging for someone to save her. Ironically, the person who "saves" her is the absolute last person (Kiara) she wanted to see again.
  • All Take and No Give: Inverted. Beast III/L is a mirror and Foil for Beast III/R, giving love to humanity while taking none in return. By giving humanity her love (through granting all of their desires), she displaces people's love of/towards other people, as well as depriving them - and, subsequently, all of universe - of all desires (through her skill Nega-Desire), thus "corrupting them" into depravitynote . It's represented by having Beast III/L spread loads and loads of debuffs to your entire party, compared to Beast III/R's stacks and stacks of buffs.
  • Alternate Self: She is this to the Kama of Proper Human History since she's actually from the fourth Lostbelt, Yugakshetra, and escaped to the main timeline because Arjuna absorbed the gods who were supposed to look after her.
  • Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better:
    • She attempts to invoke this by trying to surpass Beast III/R at every possible step of her plan, but she ultimately fails by being unable to complete her plan and beat Chaldea. Gameplay wise, however, her fully powered form is widely considered to be far more difficult than Beast III/R's fully powered form!
    • Ironically, it's deciding that she would one-up Kasuga-no-Tsubone's "The Reason You Suck" Speech about how she would never understand the love that comes from watching someone grow that leads her to ultimately taking Kiara's offer to answer her newly-established connection to the protagonist and enter the Throne of Heroes as an Assassin.
  • Batman Gambit: Kama fully expects you to try and Loophole Abuse your way through your labyrinth, arranging Ooku so that you'll be forced to break the Buddhist precepts no matter what. She also leaves the pillboxes containing the shoguns' souls throughout the Ooku for you to collect and accelerate your own Tokugawafication, knowing full well that the power they provide your Mystic Code would be irresistible for you to use.
  • Bishōnen Line: She initially appears with demonic horns and thick, clumped up hair to emphasize her demon lord side. Once she ascends further off the protagonist's Tokugawafication, she loses the horns for a crown of light and her hair is let down completely.
  • Blasphemous Boast: One of her lines whenever she uses a skill, one you may hear often is "Bonnô mujin seigan dan". What this is is actually one of the Bodhisattva Vows, specifically the one stating "I vow to overcome all worldly desires". Of course, since it's Mara, the enemy of Buddhism saying it and given her plans, she means it in the sense that she'll fulfill all desires by satisfying them instead of casting them aside for spiritual pursuits.
  • Breast Expansion: As the protagonist ventures deeper and deeper into Ooku, Kama's bust gradually becomes larger and larger. Whether this is due to her growing power or her attempts to seduce the protagonist is not entirely clear.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: Kama's plan to ascend herself into Beast III/L and defeat Chaldea was airtight, to the point that Chaldea should have had no chance of victory. But for all of her preparations, up to and including reaching through all of space and time to collect the souls of the Tokugawa shoguns, she couldn't be bothered to stop Matsudaira and Tenkai from laying down countermeasures against her and rescuing Kasuga-no-Tsubone, believing that her plans couldn't possibly be derailed by pitiful humans. This apathy and laziness proves to be her undoing.
  • Broken Angel: More like Broken God, but the trope still fits. Because Shiva incinerated her so thoroughly after she was asked to get his attention on Pārvatī, she was basically incinerated to ashes. Also oddly inverted, as Kama being incinerated with a force strong enough to annihilate the universe, she Came Back Strong.
  • Came Back Strong: A villainous version. Kama was originally a God of Love who was limited to spreading love through their arrows. Though killed by Shiva, she became Ananga, the formless spirit that sends love and lust through the universe through presence alone. Not to mention it started to mash her own origins up with Mara atop of that.
  • Celestial Body: Because of her mythical origins, she is the entire cosmos as 'Ananga', the formless spirit of lust disseminated across the universe by Shiva to infuse humanity with love and lust. This has subsequently given her control over the entire concept of space in her domain and her ultimate plan is to replace the entire cosmos with a universe that solely consists of herself and humanity.
    Lustful love overflows and worldly desires reach an end in the universe that is my body. Rāga, māna, kleśa, āsrava, let's deliver it all to the base of the sacred fig.'
  • The Corrupter: She's notable in being the one antagonist who came closest to bringing the protagonist to her side through the tainted Tokugawa Mystic Code and her rules of the Ooku being rigged to make it so that anyone who reaches the final level has broken all the rules, rendering them very vulnerable to her brainwashing. In fact, she outright admits everything was to corrupt the protagonist, stating that the only reason she used the Ooku to faciliate her plan was because it caught her eye and could have used another similar premise, as corrupting the protagonist into a Tokugawa was the last step she needed to mature to her next form as a Beast. She also corrupted Gordolf with the same methods and straight-up brainwashes Mata Hari and Scheherazade to serve as flunkies.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Very much dry of wit and plenty of her dialogue is snarkily calling the party (subtly or not) a bunch of idiots.
  • Death Seeker: Implied. Had Kama's plan went without a hitch, the concept of love would have been erased from human consciousness, causing Kama to lose her domain and suffer a Puff of Logic. While this end result of her plan is pointed out by Pārvatī, Kama herself never comments on it or openly expresses her suicidal thoughts.
  • The Devil Is a Loser: Despite being one of the Evils of Humanity, Kama's kind of pathetic at her core. Her motives are petty, her cool façade is easily broken when annoyed or scared, and she's a blubbering mess when she loses. This even ties into her nature as Beast III/L: no matter how much love she gives others, nobody loves her back. She even admits angrily to Kiara after Ooku that she knows she's an utter loser at heart.
  • Domain Holder: By the time you reach her, Kama has become the Ooku. The deepest part of the complex is an entire universe made of and filled with herself. She's able to control every aspect of it, from the gravity to the level of oxygen, rendering her virtually unstoppable. The only way to defeat her is to override her universe with the perceptions of someone even more strongly associated with it, like Kasuga-no-Tsubone.
  • Doppelgänger Attack: In one form of her boss fight, she's surrounded by countless copies of herself that she can command to attack her enemies and then explode. She can also summon 1-2 of them as (relatively) low HP flunkies. It symbolizes her as "the love/Demon Lord of Desire that permeates the universe" (with her skill "The Body that Responds to Myriad Desires").
  • Evil Is Burning Hot: Her arms and legs are wreathed in orange or purple, and unlike Kama who's on the protagonist's side despite her more evil inclinations, Mara is very much attempting mankind's destruction.
  • Fatal Flaw: Their apathy for everything. Despite having a far better plan than Kiara and nearly breaking the protagonist into embracing herself, Mara causally dismisses actions that could easily turn everything she worked for to nothing, despite being savvy enough to notice them.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Unlike Kiara, Kama puts much less effort into her sugary words and often reveals her bitter, hateful side even as she proclaims her love. And when she gets emotional, she has far less control than Kiara does and often goes off the handle, most noticeably in how she resorts to profanity like "piss off" and "bitch" and her Inelegant Blubbering of her Villainous Breakdown.
  • Final Boss Preview: She is fought a few chapters before the end of her event, before the protagonist learns of the necessary tools to successfully oppose her.
  • Foil: Unsurprisingly, she serves one to Beast-III/R. While Kiara is all about receiving love from others, Kama is all about giving love to others.
  • Freudian Excuse: Though Kama ultimately plans to end humanity by fulfilling everyone's desires and granting all satisfaction, she only went as far as she did because she was goaded into forcing Shiva's attention on Pārvatī despite the risks (that Kama points out that the other Hindu gods would know about) that would entail. She ended up burning to ashes, being turned into a universe and being conflated with Mara due to the fact that the concept of "Love can make people unhappy" exists. Place this atop of how the other Hindu Gods consider her The Slacker for not introducing more love in the world, and one can see why she's overwhelmingly bitter.
  • Gameplay and Story Integration: It's mentioned through her Pathos Scepter skill that Kama could serve as the strongest beast in a battle of endurance, namely through spreading debuffs and healing herself. Should you face her with the Tokugawa Gauge at a high percentage, she can make good on that as each one of her health bars alone are equal to, if not higher than one of Goetia's.
  • The Ghost: Until Tokugawa's Labyrinth where she finally makes her physical appearance, she was only mentioned by BB and Kiara.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Attempted. One of Kama's many issues with the other Hindu gods is that he's considered The Slacker and blamed for the lack of love in the human world. As his final "fuck you" to Shiva and his fellows, Kama decides to be an overachiever for once to show them what that was like.
  • Grievous Harm with a Body: All of her attacks as the "Demon King of Lust" involve her throwing her copies at her foes before making them explode.
  • Hate at First Sight: Even before Kama/Mara learns of Kiara's identity as Beast-III/R, she admits that the nun riles her up in a way not even Pārvatī can and that while she can shrug off the words of almost everyone else with apathy, Kiara just pisses her off.
  • Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: As noted by Matsudaira Nobutsuna, Kama/Mara deliberately set up her Ooku so that any who enter will have to break the five precepts (thus opening themselves to her influence) in some form to advance, and even if they avoid the obvious traps simply traversing the place long enough will corrupt them.
  • Hijacked by Ganon: Downplayed. While Kama herself as well as the Beast class were new additions to this game, Kama is a pseudo-servant of Dark Sakura (who is a well-established villain in the franchise).
  • Hoist by Her Own Petard:
    • Using the Tokugawas and the Ooku as the crux of her plans grants her unfathomable power. But it also becomes her greatest weakness, as Matsudaira is able to provide the heroes with an array of anti-Tokugawa measures to nullify her brainwashing and cripple her while Kasuga-no-Tsubone is able to use her connection to the Ooku to counter Kama's Domain Holder powers. By the end of the event, even Mata Hari can thrash Kama, all because she chose the Ooku to enact her plan.
    • Another case is how she's set into Chaldea's database as a summonable servant. She normally wouldn't be scannable, but because she earlier incinerated Kiara, it was the same as if she "gave her love". This allowed Kiara access to Kama's universe, where when the event was over, she used her power to link Kama to Chaldea.
  • Holy Halo: Sports a grand and majestic one that befits her divine nature, which is also reminiscent of wheel of dharma with its eight spokes.
  • Hope Crusher: Justified and deconstructed. Kama enjoys offering her enemies a weapon to use against her, only to effortlessly brush it aside as the despair makes her targets more vulnerable to her embrace. But it happens so often throughout the event that Kama is eventually overwhelmed by tools she just let Chaldea have.
  • Horned Humanoid: One of the more noticeable differences between Kama and Mara is that the latter has a noticeable set of horns growing out of her head (at least for her first form).
  • Hot as Hell: Mara's appearance and station lends itself to this, being a Horned Humanoid with a voluptuous figure reminiscent of a succubus who is one aspect of a god(dess) of love, albeit of a twisted kind.
  • Humanoid Abomination: Clearly looks human alongside Beast III/R, but is also one of the Beasts.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: Downplayed. Both halves of Beast III use human hosts, but only III/R willingly went along with it and then some, whereas III/L's host has no influence on her whatsoever. That being said, it's likely not a coincidence that the other half of Beast III manifested within an individual who not only hosted the original Avenger, but also nearly ended the world by doing so.
  • I Am the Noun: She repeatedly states that "I am the universe" once she unveils her true power and scope. It's Not Hyperbole, because as the concept of Ananga as well as her nature as Beast-III/L, she is a universe unto herself.
  • Increasingly Lethal Enemy: Her Pathos Scepter skill has her heal herself and apply variety of different debuffs whenever she attacks, depending on her mood. The more she fights, the more she heals herself and more she debuffs her opponents to the point that she could possibly be the strongest Beast in a situation where she has to fight continuously.
  • Interrupted Suicide: Played with. Given her whole plan would've eventually ended with her death, when she's truly defeated by the heroes, she would've proceeded to incinerate herself to ashes if Kiara wasn't present within Kama's universe to stop her.
  • Irony:
    • Beast III/L's weakness to Alter Egos manifests some irony on two fronts:
      • Despite being billed in-story as a more dangerous and formidable Beast compared to Beast III/R, III/L ends up being severely disadvantaged against the playable Kiara. Even before the event rerun and the latter's buffs, Kiara is strong enough to take on Beast III/L entirely by herself.
      • Using Sakura's appearance means that Beast III/L is also at a disadvantage against Meltryllis, Passionlip and Kingprotea, three Servants derived from Kama's chosen host. By the time of the event's rerun, Meltryllis with her new critical buffs can ravage Beast III/L in a handful of turns, while Kingprotea can solo the fight on account of overwhelming HP.
    • Despite resolving herself to craft a foolproof plan to prove her superiority over Beast III/R, she ultimately succumbs to the same mistake Kiara made: letting a seemingly powerless individual escape when she had them in the palm of her hand. Just as Meltryllis unraveled Kiara's scheme, Kasuga-no-Tsubone usurps Kama/Mara's control of Ooku, resulting in Beast III/L's ultimate defeat.
  • Karmic Death: Just like the cause of her original death, Kama is once again incinerated by Shiva's power in the form of Trishula Shakti.
  • Lack of Empathy: She has love for humanity, but only in the way one would love a herd of animals they're raising.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Mocks Kiara, her plan, and how she ultimately failed. Not only does she fail in a similar manner, she goes out with even less dignity than Kiara as at least Kiara wasn't reduced to Inelegant Blubbering.
  • Literal Split Personality: When Pārvatī manifested by possessing Sakura, she unintentionally divided her body into good half and evil half, with Kama/Mara taking over the evil body to manifest itself.
  • Loophole Abuse:
    • A Lostbelt native shouldn't be able to exist outside of its borders without getting pruned, but her Independent Manifestation lets her ignore it since the pruning is another aspect of the World's corrective impulses that crushes Master-less Servants.
    • After becoming a Beast, it would normally take extremely long time for her to fill out the universe with herself to become a fully formed Beast. She figured out a way to bypass this problem by creating an universe inside Ooku, thus cutting the progress down to only couple of hours.
    • As Kiara notes, she "loves" humans without actually loving them, which is shown by how Kama/Mara constantly states she can love humans despite how much she also detests them, and this is what qualifies her to be a Beast.
      "I might despise everyone besides me — worthless gods, hopeless humans, and pathetic Servants alike... In fact the very thought of them might make me want to puke... But, even though I'll always despise you...I'll still love you all, forever and ever... To the very end..."
  • Mad Love: She loves humanity, but, as a Beast, only in a deeply unhealthy way that ultimately leads her to attempt mankind's destruction. She herself outright states she loves and hates them.
  • Me's a Crowd: Can infinitely duplicate herself as the logical extension of being the cosmic spirit existing in all places to spread love to all humans. The background for her final battle is an infinite sea of herself.
    It is as you see! The Beast, as a Beast, has become legion! These are not split off bodies or clones. Each and every one of them are real, each and every one of them a Beast! Yes—— it is simply that there is enough of the same thing to fill up the entire universe. See, I wouldn't be able to love if I didn't, right? If I'm to love all humanity, this is only a given.
  • Nightmare Face: While not exactly as terrifying as Goetia's, she has a pretty unnerving one too.
  • Not So Stoic: Beneath the downer attitude, Kama/Mara is far more emotional than she would like to admit. Just witness her dialogue as she's savoring her apparent success.
    "I expect it won't be much longer now before I hear [the protagonist] breaking down into an ugly cry. ...Any moment now. ...Aaany moment. Ugh, what's TAKING so long!? How long does a Beast have to wait to get a breakdown around here!? Oh, whoops, that just slipped out. I guess I got a little carried away now that I'm so close to being fully mature. I'm just going to keep my expectations low, stick to being my usual downer self, and love the world while I continue to sneer at it."
  • Oh, Crap!: The final act of Ooku is essentially one long series of these for her. After smugly explaining her new and ascended form, she soon finds that her inner universe if being overidden by Kasuga-no-Tsubone, the woman she taunted for drawing her here in the first place. Kama's panic only grows when Nobutsuna unveils his plan, reversing the protagonist's Tokugawafication and arming Yagyu with a false Muramasa blade to start cutting down her copies en masse. Then she tries to escape by removing herself from Ooku entirely, only to realize her blunder when Kasuga flings her in front of a furious Pārvatī, who proceeds to incinerate Kama once again with Trishula Shakti.
  • One-Winged Angel: She goes through this multiple times. She starts off in Kama's child form, then goes through each of her playable ascensions until she reaches the 3rd, at which point she then ascends into her fiery red horned form for her first battle, before finally reaching her haloed form for the second and last battle.
  • Out-Gambitted: Her plan would have been perfect had she not dismissed Nobutsuna's countermeasures as harmless. Instead, she more or less let him set up multiple rituals right under her nose which spelled her doom after the pieces started to fell in place.
  • Out of the Frying Pan: Once she's cornered by the heroes, she tries to remove her Anti-Tokugawa weakness by excising her connection to Ooku. Unfortunately for her, this leaves her at the complete mercy of Kasuga-no-Tsubone, who had since become the Domain Holder of the Ooku. Kama/Mara soon finds herself being flung out of the place entirely, where Pārvatī is waiting to smite her with Trishula Shakti.
  • Permanently Missable Content: Averted when Ooku was added as a Main Interlude, but for a couple years unlike Tiamat and Goetia (the Beasts that players face in the main story, whose profiles can be viewed through My Room's Servant Material after defeating them), Beast III/L's profile (as being only accessible through the Tokugawa Labyrinth event) would have remained blank forever for players who hadn't played the event and defeated her.
  • Playing with Fire: Like Kama, Mara also makes use of fire attacks. She also refers to her love and depravity as a universe-consuming fire. Notably, she also seems on some level resentful and disgusted with those very same flames, as her Self-Inflicted Hell shows the senstation of constantly burning, and noticeably her clones (which she would use to spread depravity as the "ideal lovers") once she reaches the peak of her power don't have the similarly-burning limbs.
  • Power Nullifier: To bring her down to a much more manageable level, you must use the hanafuda cards collected throughout the labyrinth to decrease the Tokugawa gauge that's been filling up as you explored and used the special pillbox skills. And like Beast III/R, you can choose not to use any cards, but see SNK Boss below.
  • The Power of Love: Though her love is corruptive, the attachments created from others to her gives her far more power than she would've by herself.
  • Readings Are Off the Scale: Her version of her Noble Phantasm, Mara Avaruddha: Realm of Love, Burning Cosmos, is not only EX rank, is not only Anti-World, but has a maximum Range of 99999. To put that into perspective, the maximum Range of Asagami Fujino's Noble Phantasm, which is said to be the maximum Range possible for a Noble Phantasm, is only 9999.
  • Self-Inflicted Hell: As revealed when Kiara makes contact with her after her defeat, Kama's normal mindspace involves suffering the immolation of fire unendingly just like when Shiva incinerated her.
  • Sequel Hook: Pārvatī attributes Mara's emergence and the subsequent events that transpired to Shiva somehow being unable to suppress them. Therefore something must be affecting the entire Hindu pantheon for that to happen, hinting at what's to come with the Indian Lostbelt. Its revealed in the Indian Lostbelt this occurred because all the gods were absorbed, resulting in Mara being able to take control of Kama.
  • SNK Boss: Much like Beast III/R being absurdly difficult to defeat without any KP used, choosing to fight Beast III/L with a full Tokugawa gauge causes her to become insanely overinflated, having at least 1 million HP in all her health bars, ending with a staggering 2 million HP in the last bar. While you can actually use Command Seal/Saint Quartz revival in the fight, that's the least of your worries, as Mara can very quickly turn the tables on you by slamming your party with tons of horrifyingly crippling debuffs (like a nasty reduction to all three card types to your servant everytime they attack, heavily punishing the use of Brave Chains) that can overwhelm even the strongest of healers, making her one of the most difficult boss battles in the entire game outside of Nerofest's challenges, beating out even the fully powered Beast III/R!
  • Split-Personality Takeover: Normally the ratio between Kama's and Mara's personalities is 6:4 in Kama's favour. However, the gods fusing together in the Indian Lostbelt caused Mara's personality to become the dominant one since nobody could put Mara in check, causing Kama/Mara to manifest as a Beast. That being said, a lot of Kama/Mara's motivation hinges on her Kama side, meaning that Mara is simply instigating Kama to act upon her frustration.
  • Too Clever by Half: She knew that Nobutsuna was planning to betray her by using the hanafuda cards, but she was so sure she could handle him that she didn't have any countermeasures in place when he finally struck, giving Chaldea an opening to win.
  • To the Pain: She gleefully details how she plans to physically and psychologically torture you until you break and come screaming into her arms for comfort, completing her ascension into Beast III/L. Unfortunately for her, your Servants are able to comfort you and keep you sane long enough to plan a counterattack.
    "Don't worry, I won't let you die. I just want to break your spirit. So I'll reduce the oxygen to the bare minimum you need to survive... make the lack of gravity more pronounced... shut off every last light source... and let you drift around in a completely dark, empty space, without anything or anyone to help you. Ahh, who knows what will happen to your tiny human mind after you've been left alone in space like that? I don't know how long you'll last. It could be days, hours, or only minutes... but sooner or later, the cold darkness of space will shatter your spirit, and you'll be desperate for warmth. In that moment, my love will wholly consume you, and your pleasure will truly begin..."
  • Troll: While she's more of a snarker, she has elements of this too. A standout would be the first time she's defeated by the party on the fourth level of Ooku where she seemingly dies, complete with golden lights and morose final words, only to pop back in just a short exchange later with another body, wondering if she should greet them with her usual attitude or adopt something closer to what Pārvatī would do.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Her smug and composed exterior collapses once she realizes that she's losing, and she goes from referring to the heroes as pitiful creatures she could kill at any time to fleeing for dear life. She's soon bawling from the thrashing she gets from Yagyu, Scheherazade, and Mata Hari before devolving into Inelegant Blubbering about how no one appreciates her and how her plan came to naught as Pārvatī strikes her down with Trishula Shakti. By the time Kiara finds and "saves" her, she's only barely recovered from it all.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: As mentioned in Freudian Excuse above, Kama has been put through the wringer hard. Forced to put Shiva's attention on Pārvatī despite knowing it'd cause her death, incinerated with a universe destroying force, chided for being The Slacker, blamed for the lack of love in the world and finally getting conflated with Mara due to the concept of "love can make people unhappy". It's understandable why she's so incredibly bitter, as no matter what she does she's always blamed for something going wrong. Her own final plan to become a Beast and filling the world with her love could be read as trying to give a final "fuck you" to everyone (figurative and literal) as well as a suicide plan, as without Love in the world, she'd cease to exist. Even her Self-Inflicted Hell is the sensation of burning to death.

    Beast III/R 

Freely Joyous, Third Outer Thought Pleasure of Heaven

The Demonic Bodhisattva
April Fool's
Voiced by: Rie Tanaka

"I am the only real person in this world. The rest of 'humanity' is no more than a pack of wild beasts. That's how I was raised. That's the world I lived in. It was so rare for anyone to think of me as evil. And those who did... Well, they were shunned by society, regarded as wicked sinners, just like that pathetic, lost Archer. Those who tried to bring wicked people like me to justice were reviled as not serving society's best interests. Can you truly call such beasts human? If you could, such nameless heroes would go unrewarded for their efforts. No, I am the only human. So long as that is true, all is well. If it were not, this world would be beyond saving. "

One half of Beast III, where the 'R' stands for 'Rapture', and representing 'Lust' of the greater law of "Pleasure". It "takes all love from Humanity and gives nothing in return". This can be conceptualised as the opposite to L's pacification of Humanity, instead stimulating Humanity into all-consuming desire for it and it alone; a pure state of spiritual bliss achieved through supplanting all one's worldly attachments with that of Beast III/R.

In the world of Grand Order, the human Kiara Sessyoin was a simple therapist with some interest in computer science and an ordinary job working for the Chaldea Foundation on its Seraphix deep-sea platform.

However, in another life, she was a narcissistic and masochistic cult leader devoted to a twisted religion of desire, and a skilled computer hacker who hacked the Moon Cell Automaton to usurp its omnipotent power and impose her twisted ideal of love upon the world. She would seize the power of creation itself and ascend to something close to a True Demon, the embodiment of "All The Desires Of The World", only to be defeated.

And in another life askance to that, she was a cult leader who led a troubled Hero of Justice down the path to heresy and damnation.

When the Demon Pillar Zepar attempted to find refuge on Seraphix following the defeat of Goetia, it used its knowledge of these "possibilities" to show an ordinary human what she could have been. And so one of the Evils of Humanity, once vanquished at the heart of the moon, instead discovers it may be able to walk the Earth at long last, with the aid of one of Chaldea and Marisbury Animusphere's darkest secrets.

She first appears as the villain of the Epic of Remnant limited time event, Abyssal Cyber Paradise: SE.RA.PH.


  • Affably Evil: Unfailingly polite to the heroes and never showing off obvious signs of rage even as things go against her. She's still a fundamentally self-centered Beast whose ascension would mean the end of mankind, but her personality is not an act even if it has been warped from her original nigh-messiac mindset.
  • Accidental Misnaming: To show how self-centered she's become, she can't even be bothered to remember Zepar's name, calling him "Zepa-whatever".
  • All Take and No Give: Explicitly, as the Right Hand of Beast of Pleasure, she receives love from all humanity, but offers none back to them in return. Her "Lust" aspect refers to how she corrupts people by making people lust after her, thus taking all of the love from humanity. Kama/Mara herself describes her with such terminology as "a being who sought to be the center of the universe."
  • Armor-Piercing Attack: Her Devilish Bodhisattva form's Noble Phantasm emulates her playable version's own NP, but stronger — this boss purges all buffs (instead of simply applying a pierce invincibility buff, which could also be buff-blocked, and bypassing defense buffs as part of the NP) before hitting the party with an AoE attack. Just like with the playable version, the only way to reduce her damage is to debuff attack or NP damage.
  • Artistic License – Religion: Prior to corruption, she was placed in charge of Seraphix's Christian church as its pastor. She's a practicing Buddhist. Even In-Universe Kiara was baffled at this decision but decided to be professional about it and do her best, and judging from the few comments given in SE.RA.PH she managed to do a pretty good job.
  • Assimilation Plot: She planned to become one with the planet once Seraphix reached the bottom of the planet, which would devour everyone else in the process.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The party has to fight her on her hands when she transforms into a giant.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: In the original timeline, she prevented BB from shifting time back to give everyone a reprieve and the Kiara Punishers, easily defeated the heroes, and killed the protagonist, being the first Beast to succeed in doing so. Only Meltryllis using her Alter Ego power to go back in time to the start of the EXTRA Singularity: SE.RA.PH allowed the next version of the protagonist to best her.
  • Big Bad: Of Fate/EXTRA CCC and of the Epic of Remnant: EXTRA: SE.RA.PH, and what she did in the former is partially responsible for the events of the latter.
  • Body Horror: We don't get to see it, but come The Reveal Kiara gives up the game and literally peels herself out of the stolen skin of Mable Macintosh and afterward callously remarks it was rather snug in there.
  • Clipped-Wing Angel: Her Heaven's Hole form looks much more impressive than her Demonic Bodhisattva iteration, but it possesses a number of predictable behaviours in spite of its immense health pool while the latter is lousy with buffs that cannot be removed. If the player chooses not to purchase additional Kiara Punishers, then her Demonic Bodhisattva form can make the Beast a much more fearsome opponent than her supposedly fully-powered mode.
  • Combat Sadomasochist: After glimpsing the events of the Time Temple, Kiara sought to have her own grand battle against countless Servants in a Stable Time Loop to satisfy her, explicitly wanting to know what it would like to fight and be attacked by so many powerful Servants. This does not, however, mean that she enjoys losing.
  • Consummate Liar: She's a master of lying even when speaking the truth such as blaming Zepar for everything and that she's an innocent victim, a fact Suzuka easily sees through. While Zepar kickstarted things and showed her what she was capable of in other worlds, she did everything of her own will and was the one truly in control, and sadistically talks about sparing Zepar even as she slowly killed him for her own amusement.
  • Corrupt the Cutie: Gets possessed by Zepar, who then begins to overwrite her sensibilities with those of the CCC Kiara. She is rather distraught during this process. Somewhat subverted in that after a certain point, it's Zepar who becomes corrupted by her.
  • Dark Messiah: Kiara is one of the only two beings who could qualify for the "Saver" class (the other being Buddha) in that she has the potential to lead humanity to spiritual enlightenment and salvation. However, instead of "saving" mankind, she selfishly chose to "save" a world belonging to her alone; thus, her class became Beast and she gained the Nega-Saver skill.
  • Dead Person Impersonation: For most of the SE.RA.PH. event, she poses as Mable Macintosh, one of several Chaldea staff Killed Offscreen prior to the protagonist's arrival. As Tamamo Cat herself states, she was using Mable's form as a "fleshy-masky-thing" up until the latter could sense that "Mable" wasn't who she said she was.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Her wish to be an Alter Ego is this, as Kiara does not understand that they are inhuman monsters as Meltryllis explains during the event. It was only due to Hakuno that they changed from inhuman monsters to beings who can accept themselves and become more human in nature as a result. Kiara, on the other hand, believes that the reason Meltryllis avoided becoming like her has to do with being an Alter Ego in and of itself.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Meltryllis. Both are embodiments of pleasure and sought to satisfy that pleasure without regards to others in EXTRA CCC. Meltryllis grew beyond that state thanks to Hakuno and further separated herself from it thanks to her feelings for the protagonist, while Kiara never learns from her actions and drowned herself in pleasure till the end.
  • Evil Feels Good: After wresting power and control of her body and mind from Zepar, she could've used it to save Serafix, and maybe even help the rest of mankind while she was at it. Ultimately, she decided that dominating and exploiting others was more pleasurable.
  • Evil Smells Bad: Tamamo Cat states she reeks of Yin energy thanks to the Daikini spells she uses.
  • Eyes Do Not Belong There: Demon Pillar eyes go down from her neck to her legs. The biggest one's nestled in her cleavage.
  • Eye Scream: In the manga adaptation, her left eye was crushed by one of the violent Seraphix members.
  • Fatal Flaw:
  • Foreshadowing: A Beast being split into "left" and "right" halves is first mentioned by Arthur in his trial quest, although he's talking about Beast VI.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: She was a therapist who didn't have the ambitions of her alternate selves and Word of God states that, if not for Zepar butting in, she would have gone on heal the turbulent hearts of the Seraphix staff. His interference not only prevents this outcome, it unleashes a Beast much more powerful than him.
  • Genius Loci: Her end-goal is to merge with the planet's core and make Earth her new "body", allowing her to influence all of humanity without restraint. She's already pulled a small-scale version of this on Seraphix itself; the reason it looks like a naked long-haired woman? That's because it's become Kiara.
  • Genuine Human Hide: Kiara had hidden herself in plain sight for most of the Seraphix event using the skin of Mable Macintosh thanks one of her Dakini spells. Tamamo Cat was able to sniff her out when Mable reappeared at Seraphix's core thanks to the Yin-energy emanating from her.
  • Godhood Seeker: Her endgame is being worshipped as a god, taking in the love, pleasure, and eventually lives of everyone else for her own sake.
  • Gone Horribly Wrong: Making Sessyoin into a Beast was not actually Zepar's plan; he merely wanted to use the information to make her more malleable to his own control so that he could follow his own agenda for making a new body. He showed her entirely too much of what she was capable of, however; and eventually, her will overrode his and he ended up confined to Sessyoin's pinky finger before being erased from existence entirely.
  • Grand Theft Me: In desperation, she decides to pull this on Meltryllis to save herself. However, EMIYA Alter uses the last of his strength to shoot the Demon Pillar tendrils before they can take Meltryllis, and then Tristan hoists her out of Kiara's range and sacrifices himself in the process.
  • Head-Turning Beauty: She's noted to be drop-dead gorgeous even by the ladies stationed on Seraphix long before turning into the Demonic Bodhisattva.
  • Heal Thyself: She has several moves and skills that restore her HP after use.
  • Hero Killer: Notably the first Beast who successfully kills the the protagonist not once but twice. If not for the unique circumstances of the Singularity, she would've won.
  • Hijacked by Ganon: While the Beasts are a new addition to the franchise, Kiara is an established villain who even manages to exploit one of the similarly new Demon Pillars for her ascension.
  • Hopeless Boss Fight: The first fight with her in SE.RA.PH. has her spend three turns not attacking and just spamming her Logos Eater skill, but none of your Servant's attacks can hurt her, not even the ones with class advantage. Then she goes giant and fills up her NP bar, giving them one last turn to once again fail to hurt her before she unleashes her NP and brings them all down to one HP, at which point the battle ends. Story-wise, this results in all the allied Servants being killed and Kiara about to absorb the protagonist, which is only averted by BB and Passionlip turning back time. In the original timeline, she prevented BB from doing this thanks to her control of the Sentinels and finished the job, which necessitated Meltryllis going back in time herself.
  • Humanoid Abomination: Started out as a human, and ended up as one of the seven Beasts.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: Kiara is the most monstrous of the Beasts despite having been born human, caring for no one but herself, and tortured 128 servants and humans over and over in a Stable Time Loop for her own pleasure. Goetia meanwhile wanted to genuinely help humanity, Tiamat's Femme Fatale brain component was trying and failing to suppress the rest of herself from slaughtering humanity, Primate Murder/Four gave up his sentience for a human he cared about, and even the Beast of Revelations loves his mother Manaka. Even Zepar did not want any of the atrocities committed in the event to happen and was horrified by the monster Kiara willingly became.
  • I Cannot Self-Terminate: During one of her diary entries, she begs for someone to kill her before she's fully taken over by Zepar.
  • It's All About Me: Explicitly called out as such by her own "other half" Beast-III/L, who refers to her as a being that "sought to be the center of the universe".
  • Karmic Death: She dies similarly to her childhood hero (her body breaking down into foam), the Little Mermaid, which she loves. But she perishes sans the orgasm she assumed would come with either her victory or defeat as a Beast, which she resents in her last moments.
  • Lack of Empathy: Towards everyone as she only views herself as human and thus loves and seeks to save no one but herself. The initial transition into this view sickens her, and she tried to perform her job as usual in spite of it.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Her defeat is the result of everyone she screwed over getting back at her. BB, who was forced to act as her patsy, sells the Kiara Punishers used to weaken her, Meltryllis and Passionlip, who were forced to serve her by extension, work together to unleash the Virgin Laser Palladion to finish her off, and EMIYA Alter prevents her from possessing Meltryllis and saving herself from death.
  • Loophole Abuse: In most cases, Beasts are created from a powerful figure who loves humanity enough that they would radically change or end them depending on the law the Beast represents. While all of the Beasts are powerful beings, Kiara is different from the rest in that she became one by lowering the definition of what it means to be "human" to herself. In other words, instead of loving humanity as a group like the other Beasts, she loves herself so much that she considers herself the only human and still gains that qualification of Beastdom.
  • Loved by All: The manga adaptation of the SE.RA.PH. story shows that she was beloved by everyone in the Seraphix for her tireless efforts to keep them mentally well, healthy, and happy. As a Beast, her saintly charisma is twisted into a desire to strip everyone of their passions except for loving her.
  • Ma'am Shock:
    • Hilariously, if the Master counters her We Can Rule Together with them "not liking older women", she's incredibly offended.
      "Wha- of all the things you could say, you state something so groundless?!"
    • When Kama makes a crack about her age in the aftermath of Ooku, Kiara rather serenely starts closing her massive hand that Kama is standing within the palm of into a fist, only relenting when Kama quickly and in a panic takes it back.
  • Mad Love: Like her CCC counterpart, she doesn't love anyone but herself and views herself as the only human, thus the only one worth saving. However, she wasn't always like this in this timeline.
  • The Multiverse: This is why the Second Magic is dangerous, kids. While Zepar can't truly use said magic, Zepar does use the knowledge of Sessyoin's other lives in facets of the Kaleidoscope to convince her Grand Order incarnation to begin a plot to obtain the same power that her CCC incarnation found, but this time in the real world instead of the datascape of the Moon Cell.
  • Narcissist: Passionlip calls her one, since Kiara loves humans, but considers herself the only human in the world and therefore loves only herself. Everyone else is nothing but a toy for her own amusement
  • Naughty Nuns: The Kiara of Grand Order wasn't one at first, being a mere therapist/nun who provided comfort in a decidedly non-sexual way, however once she's introduced to her alternate selves who were this, she quickly embraces being one.
  • Nice Girl: The GO Kiara turns out to have been this. At the age of fourteen, she had the same nature as in CCC, but things developed differently afterward. After being cured by a doctor from outside the mountains, she was no longer imprisoned and was able to leave the mountains and have a happy school life. This lead to a Kiara with vastly different outlook on life from her counterparts, at least until Zepar appears.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: She claims that as long as anyone carries desire within them, they cannot harm her. Thus BB pulls out the Kiara Punishers and an anti Beast III/R field to counter this.
    "No matter what kind of intelligent lifeform they are, beings with wisdom always possess 'desire', and my fingers can grasp their souls. Any being that possesses desire cannot match me."
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Before her descent into madness, the Kiara of the Grand Order timeline was a saintly woman who selflessly volunteered her medical services to anyone free of charge. As her reputation grew, the hospital systems feared that she would cut into their profits, resulting in her being blacklisted from all institutions until she wound up at Seraphix.
  • Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Kiara's power level and scheming—exterminating humanity, becoming the ultimate god of a datascape, approaching true demonhood—sound like a huge deal. However, Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- reveals the existence of Kisshoin Kiara, a version who does successfully becomes a Maradeva... meaning she has joined a new plane of perception where that type of power is perfectly banal, and she is the weakest thing around.
  • Obliviously Evil: One of the things each Kiara shares is their inability to see their actions as evil.
  • One-Winged Angel: She once again transforms into the Demonic Bodhisattva form and has an enhanced version of that, with Demon Pillars as her horns. Either form serves as the Final Boss of SE.RA.PH, depending on whether the Kiara Punishers are activated or not.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: In a sense, Kiara is Beast III/R, one half of the being called Beast III, and while Beast III/L (Kama/Mara) doesn't make an appearance until the Tokugawa's Labyrinth event, she is talked about in Alter Ego Kiara's profile in the Fate/Grand Order Material V. Mara is apparently a Beast that gives love to everything, in contrast to Kiara, who receives love from everything. She feels that they would not be able to stand on the same side because of their conflicting views on love, and indeed, Alter Ego Kiara ends up clashing with Kama/Mara at the end of Tokugawa's Labyrinth.
  • Overly Long Name: Her name as a Beast, "Third Heretical Pleasure Deva of Deliberate Overwhelming Joy".
  • Permanently Missable Content: Averted when SE.RA.PH. was added to the Main Interlude, but for several years unlike Tiamat and Goetia (the Beasts that players face in the main story, whose profiles can be viewed through My Room's Servant Material after defeating them), Beast III/R's profile (as being only accessible through this crossover event) would remain blank forever for players who haven't played the event and defeated her.
  • Powered by a Forsaken Child: Even with Zepar showing Kiara what she was capable of and with GO-Kiara going further off the deep end than her CCC counterpart ever did, she still wouldn't have had the means to really do much, if it wasn't for Chaldea's dirty little secret of using young master candidates as guinea pigs for Rayshift and summoning experiments at the heart of the platform. With the means to conjure that many spiritrons (in the form of summoned Servants who die over and over), all Kiara had to do was torment the nearly-dead kid Masters into summoning again and again to get the magic resources she needed to enact her plan in full.
  • Power Nullifier: In order to even stand a fighting chance against her, you need to use the KP you've collected from clearing the event missions to buy Code Casts for BB to weaken Kiara's powers. You can try to fight her without using any KP, but unless you absolutely know what the hell you're doing,Hint it's not a good idea. At all.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: Only until a certain point. She starts as this, orchestrating a plan to amass powers beyond those of her already obscenely mighty alternate self while avoiding the mistakes she made. Upon becoming a Beast, however, Acquired Situational Narcissism kicks in with her arrogantly doing nothing to stop Meltryllis from going back in time to stop her plans, as she assumes that she'll win anyway.
  • Prehensile Hair: As she shows in the climax of SE.RA.PH, she can turn parts of her body into demon pillars to damage or manipulate things almost like Combat Tentacles. Shown best when she tries to catch Meltryllis after her body is irrepairably destroyed by turning her hair into them.
  • Pure Is Not Good: Like her alternate self, her purity of mind and intent put her on the borderline of absolute good and evil.
  • SNK Boss: There is a special version of her boss fight if one decides not to use any Kiara Punishers to bind her powers. It has its own unique Boss Subtitle ("Sword, or Death"), and uses the original version of Anima Ataraxia for her theme. She turns into a Giant Woman who holds the party in the palm of her hand. It is absolutely mandatory to bring a Servant with all-buff dispel in their arsenal in order to get past her invincibility and high defense buffs. Even passing that, most party setups require top-tier healers, buffers, and Craft Essences in order to have a chance at beating her. And Saint Quartz/Command Spell resurrection isn't allowed at all for this fight.
  • Too Good for This Sinful Earth: A non-lethal variant. Prior to her employment at Seraphix, Kiara's saintly nature saved many people but was attacked by organizations who took offense at her outdoing them in their own fields, for free. She was made out to be a villain, lost her place of belonging, and before she knew it, arrived at the oil rig. But she was not concerned with her own persecution or thought it to be misfortune.
  • Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: Zepar possessed her in order to regain his strength and begin a project to help humanity in its own misguided way, rather unconcerned for the consequences or sacrifices along the way. However, Kiara is much worse and it found itself horrified at what she was doing and how she had managed to completely dominate it, breaking his mind, reversing the possession so that she is the one in control, and then finally wiping him from existence once she tires of him.
  • Vagina Dentata: Her Noble Phantasm has her zip open a gigantic hole on her body shaped like one filled with Demon Pillars, and immediately sucks all party members inside her womb.
  • Walking Spoiler: Not only is merely mentioning her a spoiler for what's going on with the Epic of Remnant: EXTRA: SE.RA.PH, but the backstory she reveals during the event is an enormous spoiler for Fate/EXTRA CCC as a whole, as the reveal of Kiara's true nature is a guarded, late-game secret in that story.
  • Was Once a Man: Kiara began life as a typical human, and unlike her other selves, Grand Order's Kiara wasn't even a cult leader, but rather just a therapist who eventually found employment on Chaldea's sea platform as the resident counselor and multi-denominational pastor. Her diaries found throughout the SE.RA.PH detail the horror the Kiara of GO felt as Zepar slowly eroded her humanity and brought her around to the concept of embracing the ideas of her other selves. At least that's how it appears at first. Some of those entries, at least, are Zepar's, detailing his despair once his own plan goes pear-shaped.
  • Younger Than They Look: In her backstory. If the protagonist calls her a hag, she will complain that there was a time she lamented developing a mature look too early into her adolescence. Although this being Kiara, she could be either saying a literal truth or something that it's only true through her eyes.

    Beast IV 

Cath Palug

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/foucard.png
The Murderer of Primates
Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi (Japanese), Abby Trott (English)

"I am the embodiment of comparison. I am the Beast that feeds on the energies that come from humans who grow and compete, who envy others' strength, who regret their own weakness. I am the Beast who stands over any and all opponents. I am Cath Palug, a Beast of Disaster. In a different world, I was called 'Primate Murder.'"

The Fourth Beast, representing Comparison, the law of envying power and regretting weakness.

The creature who is now known as Cath Palug is a Monster of Gaia who used to live in the British Isles. In the infant form, the creature was adopted by Merlin who brought him to live with him in the Garden of Avalon. Eventually, Merlin let Cath Palug go against his protest to witness the modern world, eventually becoming a pet to Chaldea Security Organization under the name of Fou. In another parallel universe, where the Human Order was weaker and it was not adopted by Merlin as his familiar, Cath Palug would have matured into a being known as "Primate Murder": the holder of the #1 Dead Apostle Ancestor seat. In this form, it would have become the being most suited to killing the dominant species of a planet (Prime Ones), matched only by Type Mercury in speed and efficiency.

It is ultimately defeated in a roundabout way at the end of Observer at Timeless Temple, eliminating the threat of it becoming the Fourth Beast.


  • Adaptation Expansion: In Tsukihime, it is merely mentioned as being the first of the Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors with very minimal info on what the beast even is. The fact that it even appears in this game gives it more info than it ever previously had.
  • Adorable Abomination: It's revealed that Fou is actually an alternate version of Primate Murder, one of the Beasts and an entity tied with Type Mercury in the "being best suited for destroying humanity" contest, surpassing even Aŋra Mainiiu's own hypothetical Beast form.
  • Alternate Self: Strictly speaking, he isn't Primate Murder, but instead an alternate possibility for what the White Beast could have become. Whereas Primate Murder grew into a savage animal specializing in killing humanity, Fou is a cute critter who watches over mankind's fight and eventually gives up his sapience to save a human being. Fou still had the potential to become Primate Murder, but needed a different perspective and a few more centuries to gather power.
  • Ambiguous Gender: His gender is stated to be "Unknown", but everyone regards him as "male" both in and out of universe.
  • Ambiguous Situation: For awhile, it was ambiguous whether or not it's "defeat" at the end of Part 1 means that Beast IV was properly defeated, or if Fou simply gave up the potential to be Beast IV. Eventually it was revealed to be the latter as the position Koyanskaya is aiming for is Beast IV
  • Animalistic Abomination: We briefly get a glimpse of something like its true form, and it's a mass of glowing, energized fur in the vague shape of a predatory animal. In Tsukihime, it was unclear if it even was an animal. Here, it all emanates out of a more visible Fou at the bottom, seeming to come from his "tail".
  • Ascended Demon: He is one of the seven Beasts, yet thanks to Merlin's influence he is firmly on the side of Chaldea and mankind.
  • Ascended Extra: Cath Palug was a minor entity in the Nasuverse up till this point, only mentioned in passing. In addition to the Adaptation Expansion mentioned above, one of Timeless Temple's biggest reveals is that he is in fact Fou this entire time.
  • Beyond the Impossible: Fou uses up all his power to resurrect a dead Mash, a feat that not even True Magic could achieve. Although he notes that it was likely because death works differently in the Temple of Time. He implies that he could have gone further, perhaps even making her immortal, if he had more centuries to gather power.
  • Brought Down to Normal: It sacrifices its power and intelligence in order to revive Mash at the end of Solomon. However, several events post-Solomon such as Ereshkigal's Valentine's gift indicate that its intelligence may have recovered and by the New Year's 2019 event, Fou starts speaking in normal sentences again to comment on the situation.
  • The Cameo: Fou can be heard mewing at the end of the Garden of Avalon CD.
  • Canis Major: Tsukihime teased that it's a white dog as big as a bus. And our brief glimpse of it in GO makes it appear quite a bit bigger than that.
  • Can't Stay Normal: Even with the full sacrifice of his power and becoming a normal animal, he already starts regathering power the moment he comes back from Solomon's temple. By the time Chaldea arrives at the Wandering Sea, Sion notes that he has some sort of sapience and is still growing. Fou comments that as long as he keeps away from humans, he's just a harmless animal, implying that he will always continue to draw in power so long as he stays around humans as the Beast of Comparison.
  • Cartoony Tail: A very fluffy tail that becomes even fluffier and fancier in his artwork in Fou upgrade cards used for Servants. The tail dwarfs him by several meters when he brings all his power together momentarily to revive Mash.
  • Covert Pervert: He really likes Mash's boobs, but nobody really notices since he's an animal who only does Pokémon Speak. The Dangerous Beast Craft Essence flavor text even has Fou enthusiastically note how the costume emphasizes Mash's body.
  • Empathy Pet: At the end of Mordred's interlude, the protagonist notes that Fou looked very happy with Mordred and how she's become a better person. Fou was the only way Merlin could express his happiness to her.
  • Evil-Detecting Dog: Has the ability to sense incoming danger that borders on Clairvoyance. If he starts acting up for no reason, then odds are something bad is headed in his general direction. His sense is so good that in the epilogue of "Tunguska Sanctuary," he's able to sense U-Olga Marie's presence above the Wandering Sea before even Chaldea's super computer Trismegistus II.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: 'Primate Murder' is his name, murdering primates is his game.
  • Familiar: He is Merlin's (sort of). Fou was placed in Chaldea to observe the events of the game.
  • Feed It with Fire: In addition to the Beasts' growing stronger as Humanity advances, Fou's ability of "Comparison" lets him feed off the competition and growth of Humans and their negative feelings toward it, allowing him to become stronger than his opponents. Even more impressively, he doesn't need any to actually survive, as he was living just fine in Avalon with Merlin, who wasn't human and had zero aptitude for generating "Comparison" himself.
  • For Want Of A Nail: Fou is Primate Murder's Alternate Self that didn't become Altrouge Brunestud's servant and instead a familiar to Merlin when he found a baby Fou in Avalon.
  • Foreshadowing:
    • The Fou cards that give Servants small permanent HP and Attack boosts picture Fou, but with a progressively bigger tail; in retrospect it's hard not to see this as a subtle clue about his nature.
    • Ereshkigal refers to him as a "Beast of Calamity" and is terrified by his presence, but it's initially Played for Laughs. But the fact that the undead instinctively fear Fou draws more attention to this title.
  • Four Is Death: It's the Fourth Beast and the one most reputed for its ability at killing humans.
  • "Groundhog Day" Loop: In Space Ishtar's Valentine scene of all places, Fou shows the ability to create time loops, which it uses to save the protagonists from the different bad ends caused by Astarte and Space Ishtar until they can achieve a good ending.
  • Hate at First Sight: Fou hates Merlin enough that he doesn't seem to care who the Merlin he's interacting is. So when he meets Lady Avalon, AKA Merlin (Prototype) who has only interacted with Chaldea in an Alternate Timeline, he immediately attacks her like she was Merlin.
  • Hates Their Parent: While he and Merlin obviously aren’t blood related, Merlin found and raised a baby Fou and essentially acted as a Parental Substitute for him, but Fou hates him all the same. Merlin even notes Fou’s ungratefulness after having taken care of him for all those years.
  • Hero Killer: Actually inverted in-game, but in some Arthurian stories, Cath Palug slays many a knight, up to and including King Arthur.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: He sacrifices his power and intellect to revive Mash and give her a normal lifespan after she's killed blocking Goetia's attack. Though he explains what he did, she doesn't appear to understand given her confusion over his more innocent and simple behavior post-Solomon.
  • Inconsistent Coloring: His eyes are depicted as purple like Merlin’s in the game, but in the Anime adaptations they’re changed to a pale blue.
  • Intelligible Unintelligible: Mash can sometimes understand him. Per his second interlude, so can Waver. As well, according to Babylonia, Merlin can as well. Generally, anyone replying to Fou makes it clear what they think Fou said.
  • Irony: The ultimate killer of humans finds itself a bystander in two apocalyptic scenarios where the human race is all but wiped out, and ends up using all its power to give life back to a human.
  • Killer Rabbit: The ending reveals that he's Beast IV, an alternate version of Primate Murder.
  • Loophole Abuse: He notes that death in Solomon's Grand Time Temple doesn't really count in reality, which is what allows him to bring Mash Back from the Dead.
  • Luxury Prison Suite: Supplementary materials show that Fou was quite happy and content to languish in Avalon until Merlin threw him out for the sake of unwanted Character Development.
  • Mystical White Hair: His general look and color scheme pretty much echoes the official artwork for Merlin—a clue to his "flatmate" at Avalon.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: By giving up his potential to become a Beast, Fou indirectly allows Koyanskaya to become a Beast of her own.
  • Non-Malicious Monster: Despite being designed by the planet to Kill All Humans, he doesn't actively hunt them and is fine not committing genocide so long as he's left alone.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name, "Cath Palug", is rarely ever brought up when the characters refer to him. Merlin is one of the only characters that calls him by that name.
  • Pokémon Speak: Only speaks his name. Word of God says that there are several meanings to what he says, but 95% of the time what Fou's actually saying is far too spoilery to put in-game. During Valentine's 2018 he actually speaks two coherent words in order to mock Ereshkigal and says "Fight" during the first Lostbelt. And in the English version of the SIN Lostbelt, presumably to impart an otherwise-untranslatable sentiment, he tells Koyanskaya to "Die in a foire."
  • The Power of Hate: It feeds upon the Envy and regret of mankind to become stronger.
  • Precision F-Strike: Fou's hatred for Merlin is so strong that not even the limitations of Pokémon Speak can keep him from literally telling Merlin to go fuck himself.
    Fou: "FOUUU! KYUUUUU!"
  • Punny Name: 'Primate' is both a very senior religious title and the biological order that the human species belongs to. In other words, he's the primate of murdering primates.
  • Red Baron: The Beast of Gaia. Primate Murder. Altrouge's Demonic Dog (at least in Tsukihime). The White Beast. Fou. It's got a bunch of these.
  • Retcon: In Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-, Primate Murder is not included in the list of Dead Apostle Ancestors. While the given list is outdated in-universe (e.g. using "Einnashe" instead of "Forest of Einnashe"), there isn't any supplementary info that suggests that Primate Murder is still a Dead Apostle Ancestor.
  • The Reveal: He's Primate Murder, the White Beast of Gaia, an animalistic killing machine whose existence has been teased ever since the original release of Tsukihime in 1999. Fans were left gobsmacked at this seventeen-years-in-the-making reveal and that he would first appear in GO, especially in this capacity.
  • Ridiculously Cute Critter: Though everyone's not quite sure what kind of animal it actually is. Mash calls him a squirrel. Da Vinci, meanwhile, wonders if he could be a fox, dog, or pig. The Fifth Singularity: North American Myth War E Pluribus Unum and Garden of Avalon reveal he's a Cath Palug. But then he is revealed to also be an alternate version of Primate Murder, who is also called Altrouge's Demonic Dog.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here:
    • Fou bolts the moment he hears the sixth Lostbelt is in Britain, and his absence is commented on when Chaldea arrives. Nasu later stated this is because Fou has bad memories of Britain and could tell in advance that it'd be populated by faeries, something he greatly dislikes because he doesn't want to feed on their emptiness.
    • Fou also disappears when the Storm Border crashes in the seventh Lostbelt. Koyanskaya assumes he didn't want to deal with ORT either.
  • Series Mascot: He's the animal mascot for the Fate/Grand Order franchise.
  • Shoo Out the Clowns: More like "Shoo Out The Ridiculously Cute Critter", but still works as he left the story as soon as he heard that Lostbelt #6 (which is by far the bleakest Lostbelt Chaldea has encountered) is in Britain.
  • Sleep-Mode Size: Compared to his mature form as Primate Murder, which he personally describes as "an unsightly monstrosity", Fou instead takes the form of a cute animal.
  • Snarky Non-Human Sidekick:
    • During Lancer Altria's Interlude, Fou can be understood for a short time. He's surprisingly foul-mouthed, especially in regards to his master Merlin.
    • Even though you can't understand him, you can tell through his actions in Babylonia that he has no respect for Merlin. It's to the point where the first few scenes after they meet up are spent arguing with each other.
    • You can also divine his meaning in a few places during Babylonia, where he's pretty sarcastic to everybody save Mash.
  • Spell My Name With An S: The name is derived from the word four, as in Beast IV, although the katakana spellings are different: "Fou" is フォウ, while "four" is usually rendered as フォー. It is sometimes translated as "Four" or "Faux".
  • Superpower Lottery: Teleportation, time reversal, and roars that can stun the undead are just some of the abilities he possesses outside of pure, physical might.
  • Team Pet: Of Chaldea; Roman even considers him their "running mascot".
  • Token Heroic Orc: Thanks to being raised by Merlin and becoming an Ascended Demon, Fou is the only Beast seen to be firmly and consistently to be a force for good.
  • Ultimate Life Form: Made by the planet itself to be virtually unkillable with no real need to hunt or feed. However, living apart from any food chain and not having to consume anything to survive, it's blasé towards its intended purpose of keeping mankind in check and unlike the similarly powerful Arcueid Brunestud has little in the way of natural destructive impulses.
  • Uncatty Resemblance: Fou looks like Merlin if he were a small, furry creature, which is an intentional design choice, according to his designer Taiki. He even has a bushy mane and wears a cape like him. His being Merlin’s familiar explains this a bit, though it’s unknown if Fou has always looked like this.
  • Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Even though he's most definitely not a regular animal, no one really bothers to inquire as to his true nature due to a combination of more immediate crises popping up and how he's usually too pleasant to be considered a threat by most of the cast.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: By giving up his power and position as Beast IV, he unknowingly allowed Koyanskaya to swoop in and begin her own plan to ascend to the same position.
  • Uplifted Animal: Of a sort: as Beast IV, he slowly became intelligent and gained the ability to talk as he accumulated power. By giving it all up to Mash, he becomes a normal animal again.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Merlin, his master. They spend the bulk of Babylonia arguing, but in a way closer to old friends than people who actually dislike each other. When Fou explains what he is to Mash at the end of the main story, he goes out of his way to complain about Merlin chasing him out of the comfortable Garden of Avalon, only to then say that it was for the best in giving him his human perspective.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Has no issue attacking Lady Avalon in the same way he does Merlin.

    Beast IV:L 

Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/9943610a.png
The Mother of Wild Beasts
Initial five-tailed form
Voiced by: Chiwa Saitō

"...I am Beast IV. Had there been no other Beasts to compare myself to, the Beast of Taming would inevitably come to dominate. Compassion. Protection. Devotion. Scorn. Murder. Love. At times, you direct your flames to slaughter. At times, you offer recompense and resolution, and extend the hand of contradictory affection. Cruel humans, your wild nature has long been lost."

The completed Beast form of Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya. She represents the Evil of Taming. She is officially known as Beast IV:L, with the "L" standing for "Lost" as she is not considered a proper Evil of Humanity.

In 1908, a giant meteorite exploded above the Tunguska River in Russia, creating a gigantic crater and wiping out the numerous animals that were living there. The cries of agony from the animals living there formed together in the explosion, creating a brand-new nature spirit. The deity carries the many feelings of the animals that were living there, including those who were driven there by humans who tried to hunt them down with weapons. And from there the nature spirit copied the form of another beast wronged by humanity, Tamamo-no-Mae, to manifest into a proper form, Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya.

With the seat of Beast IV left vacant by Primate Murder stepping down, Koyanskaya took the chance to become a replacement Evil of Humanity, as Beast IV uses "Nature" and "Animals" as keywords. She joined sides with the Foreign God as she figured that it can bring the humans who tortured her animals into extinction. There she would carry out her plan to become the next Golden White Face, but not the same as the one from Proper Human History. Instead of using animals who exist in there, she would adopt creatures from the Lostbelts and add them into her tails, hoping to create a sanctuary where she can nurture the new animalkind and a hell space where gun caricatures shoot each other ad infinitum.


  • Animalistic Abomination: Her incomplete Beast form — glimpsed in silhouette during the Olympus Lostbelt and shown in full during Koyanskaya of Darkness' Noble Phantasm, Tunguska Nine Drive — is a five-tailed fox-like abomination with eyes on its tails and in its ears. Her true Beast form looks like a six-tailed amalgamation of different animal/human limbs, while her head is adorned with antlers and several kinds of animal horns, though this too is incomplete due to her being forced to transform with only six tails as a result of suffering from Cernunnos' curse. It also has multiple pronounced teats that look like breasts.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Of all of the animals that died in the Tunguska event as well as the meteor that caused it.
  • Asian Fox Spirit: Owing to her admiration of the Golden White-Face, Koyanskaya attempted to accumulate nine tails by assimilating powerful monsters, but only made it to six. Her initial Beast form is a five-tailed fox-like monster with way too many eyes, and while her six-tailed form discards the fox motif for something more grotesque she can still manifest her fox-like form’s head.
  • The Assimilator: In order to obtain her tails, Koyanskaya would assimilate different creatures into her body and make them part of her, which would not only let her grow new tails but even create copies of them, choosing to take one creature from each of the seven Lostbelts before finishing off with the Foreign God and the Master of Chaldea. She didn't actually need nine tails to achieve Beasthood, but did so because she wanted to emulate the Golden White-Face, whose nine tails were said to have birthed many of Japan's monsters. Among the creatures she chose for the six tails she did grow were a Yaga from Russia, a Giant from Scandinavia, a Tiger Tank from China, a Kali from India, a Cerberus from Atlantis, and a Mors from Britain.
  • Brown Note Being: Taigong Wang warns the protagonist that looking at an anti-human monster will harm their mind without protection.
  • Celestial Body: Her 6 tails appear as the night sky framed by fire in the shape of fox tails.
  • Complexity Addiction: Koyanskaya didn't need to assimilate different creatures from the Lostbelts in order to get her tails and become a Beast, as any creatures from Proper Human History could have served her purpose, nor did she even need nine tails at all to become a Beast. However, she chose to assimilate one creature from each Lostbelt because she wanted her tails to be from unique things that didn't exist as part of the humanity she hated, with her final two tails being the Foreign God and the last Chaldean Master for poetic reasons, and she went for nine tails all in the name of her emulation of the nine-tailed fox.
  • Damage-Sponge Boss: The primary gimmick of her fight is that whenever something is struck down, friend or foe, her HP will increase by 50,000 for each one.
  • Eldritch Transformation: Beast IV: L is the end result of Koyanskaya apotheosizing by absorbing various powerful monsters into herself and assuming the Beast slot vacated by Fou. However, she's not as powerful as she could have been had her plan to obtain nine tails succeeded due to Oberon and Chaldea deliberately sabotaging her apotheosis.
  • Fan Disservice: She has at least ten nipples that look like breasts, but given how she's an Animalistic Abomination, they're not very attractive.
  • Flunky Boss: In the raid battle against her, she is assisted by six Retainers (three Jötnar and three Mors). The twist with her Retainers is that they increase Koyanskaya's Max HP if defeated, meaning that you are encouraged to leave them alone unless you want their item drops. In the proper final boss fight, she is instead assisted with all six of her Lostkin types and both versions of War-beasts, two for each of her Break Bars. In this case, killing them in the first three bars is not mandatory as she kills them off once you clear one of her Break Bars, though the last two enemies provide her with the most amount of support, especially since HWB-M8 provides Koyanskaya and Retainer III party-wide instant death on damage.
  • Gaia's Vengeance: Basically, her entire existence is of all of the animals that died in the Tunguska event that want revenge on humanity for their oppression. She knows intellectually humanity had nothing to do with the explosion, but still holds them accountable for things they're actually to blame for, such as civilization's cyclical exploitation of nature. However, since her love for all animal species includes Homo sapiens, she's rather passive about the whole thing.
  • Gameplay and Story Integration: As somebody who absorbed the curses of Cernunnos in Avalon le Fae, her boss fight comes with unremovable curse debuffs.
  • Imperfect Ritual: The master plan for her apotheosis into a Beast involved gathering materials for the full nine tails of the Asian Fox Spirit to emulate the Golden White-Face, which took the form of hairs — one plucked from an animal unique to each of the seven Lostbelts, one from the Foreign God, and one from the Protagonist. But the plan went awry during the clusterfuck of events that was Lostbelt #6, where the "hair" she grabbed was a titanic mass of Cernunnos's curses that would eventually cause her to self-destruct. She was forced to apotheosize ahead of schedule to combat this, so Beast IV:L ended up as an incomplete monster with only six tails, and her six-tailed Beast form looks nothing like a fox-spirit. Her Literal Split Personality, Koyanskaya of Darkness, goes back to her five-tailed form, which does resemble a fox-spirit.
  • Irony: She finds Qin Shi Huang's Malicious Misnaming really annoying, but it turns out that Koyanskaya is not her actual given name. Dobrynya called her Yaskaya when she was given to him, only for her to twist it into what she is called today.
  • Jack the Ripoff: Her plan centers around becoming the new Konjiki Hakumen, the Golden White Face, a title carried by the Beast of Collapse Daji — who may or may not be Tamamo-no-Mae's original self, Amaterasu. Both Qin Shi Huang and Taigong Wang make the mistake of assuming that she is the real Daji, with the latter apologizing for both of their mistakes once he realizes his screw-up. Because she's only mimicking surface-level traits from Daji, Taiwong Wong's two Anti-Beast Noble Phantasms specifically tailored to fighting Daji either fail outright (the first one) or only operate at barely 10% of its full potential (the second one).
  • Kaiju: Taigong Wang outright name-drops them when describing how her Spirit Origin has a mass of several hundred thousand tons.
  • Leitmotif: She borrows Tamamo's from the Fate/EXTRA series. Her battle theme in Olympus, "Nine Drive -Koyanskaya's Strange Records-", uses the sinister droning synth chords interspersed with the preceding four Lostbelt map themes up to that point. When she takes her more mature Beast IV:L form in Tunguska Sanctuary, the battle theme "Innovation & Domination -BEAST IV BATTLE-" again uses Tamamo's bass chords, this time also accompanied by a transposed version of the melody in the style of a Suspiciously Similar Song.
  • Loophole Abuse: At least two cases of it.
    • How she became Beast IV despite Fou being already Beast IV and defeated prior. Since Fou was defeated before he fully manifested as the Beast of Comparison, the seat of "Beast IV" wasn't taken up by him, leaving it vacant for her.
    • She's denoted for her hatred of humanity, which seemingly contradicts the fact that Beasts are summoned due to their love of humanity. She can still manifest as one because she cherishes animals, and for all their flaws, humanity is still another type of animal in the end.
  • Man of Kryptonite: Like Fou before her, Koyanskaya's Beast form is specialized to kill humans and intrinsically melts all things from the Human Order.
  • Meaningful Name: In Russian, "-vich" is a patronymic that means "Son of -". Amaterasu, the original form of Tamamo-no-Mae, considers Koyanskaya to be her child due to how she was born. So while she is using the wrong patronymic here, her name means "Koyanskaya, Child of Tamamo" to show that while she is not one of Tamamo Nine, she is still related to her in a way.
  • Meteor-Summoning Attack: Her Noble Phantasm has her give an Evil Laugh then fires off an energy sphere from her tails that explodes midair like the Tunguska meteor.
  • More Teeth than the Osmond Family: For her Critical Attack, she manifests the Beast of Taming's fox-monster head with fang-lined jaws.
  • Morphic Resonance: She appears to be an amalgamation of all the beasts she's collected as well as herself. To wit, her horns appear to have Surt's, Lostbelt Minotaur's, and Cernunnos. Her pose and multiple breasts bring to mind Echidna from Lostbelt 5.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: She has many arms on her haunches that can stretch and attack on command.
  • Multi Boobage: As seen in the picture above, she has at least ten breasts. In no way is this meant to be sensual.
  • One-Winged Angel: In Olympus, Koyanskaya begins to transform into her five-tailed "Beast of Taming" form but her apotheosis is thwarted by the forces of Chaldea. She intends to obtain a full set of nine tails by pretending to be an ally of Chaldea, thereby becoming an incarnation of Beast IV... but is is ultimately forced to undergo apotheosis in an incomplete state, transforming into a horrifying Body of Bodies instead of an Asian Fox Spirit.
  • Out-of-Character Alert: Taigong slowly starts to realize that who he's dealing with is not Daji or Daji's shadow once Koyanskaya does stuff that Daji would never do.
    • Taigong believes that Daji would never move out of her den unless it is directly attacked, leaving him shocked when Koyanskaya personally comes to Shadow Border to greet the heroes.
    • Koyanskaya has no idea who Taigong is upon seeing him. While he assumes that she is just teasing him, the deep-rooted hatred Daji shows to him during their last moments makes it unlikely that she would just forget who he is.
    • Hearing how Koyanskaya helped Chaldea out against Cernunnos in Avalon le Fae is ultimately what makes Taigong realize that she is definitely not Daji. Daji is too evil and cold-hearted to put herself in harm's way no matter what benefit it would bring her, so Tamamo Vitch having any reason to protect someone is not right if she was Daji.
  • Parental Abandonment: During the Tunguska Event, an Oriental Sun Goddess (implied to have been Amaterasu) and Dobrynya were there to witness the birth of a new nature spirit. While the Sun Goddess deems her to be her child as anyone born from celestial phenomena would be, she gives all of the responsibility of dealing with her to Dobrynya. And while Dobrynya is the one to name the nature spirit, him being a Servant means that he disappears shortly after the event, leaving the now Koyanskaya alone.
  • Some of My Best Friends Are X: When talking about if she hates humanity as a whole, she says that she doesn't hate all of humanity and that there is one human she likes — with that being Hugh Hefner. The profile is rather confused with her statement.
  • Talking the Monster to Death: Once Taigong Wang figures out Koyanskaya's whole backstory, he argues with her that she doesn't actually care what happens to humanity as she is only interested in their demise, with the animals who created her applying Misplaced Retribution to humanity as they thought that the flash from the meteor explosion was the same as gun shots. She ultimately agrees with him and admits defeat.
  • Truly Single Parent: By "adopting" the creatures from the different Lostbelts by absorbing them, she can endlessly spawn them out from the hair of her tails. Additionally, all of the creatures who live in Tunguska Special Territory are all created by Koyanskaya and lack the ability to make offspring of their own. One of the things she laments is that she is a Single Specimen Species and doesn't have a mate to be with, resulting in this behavior.
  • Villain Cred: Koyanskaya's goal is to become a successor to the Golden White Face, an evil nine-tailed fox who three-thousand years prior was a Beast embodying the Evil of Collapse. Her admiration of the Golden White Face is to the extent that when manifesting a body of her own she takes the form of Tamamo-no-Mae — an incarnation of the Golden White Face, and even embraces the name "Daji" — who Tamamo claims to have been mistaken for — as her own.
  • Worf Had the Flu: Koyanskaya's plan to become a proper Beast was ruined when she was unable to gain the needed parts to manifest all the needed tails, and taking a direct hit from Cernunnos' miasma causes her to become cursed and almost die, forcing her to become as close to a Beast as she can as fast as possible in order to survive. This has the consequence of accelerating her body's growth too fast for the rest of it to keep up, with her insides in particular still needing time to develop. If not for that, she'd have been significantly stronger, with Taigong Wang outright comparing her current state to a walking chrysalis.

    Beast V 

The Fifth Beast. All other information about this being's existence is currently shadowed in mystery.


  • The Ghost: We know nothing about Beast V. While the franchise has mentioned a variety of non-numbered Beast candidates and Evils of Humanity, the phrase "Beast V" hasn't appeared once. We know nothing about its law, keywords, or whether it has even had a proper manifestation (which it should have, since VI and VII have appeared). The numbering system is the only proof we have that it even exists.


    Beast VI/G 

The Beast of Revelation

The Sixth Beast, pursued by Fate/Prototype's Arthur Pendragon across time and space. It has been killed twice, in 1991 and 1999, but threatens to rise again.


  • The Antichrist: It's heavily associated with the Anti-Christ in popular fiction and one of its skills is Nega-Messiah. As a result, there have been indications in side materials that if it manifests in full, Nero Claudius would have some kind of relation to it (as the Book of Revelation was, it is commonly thought now, written with Nero as one of the allegorical subjects).
  • Cryptic Background Reference:
    • While it is suggested that Beast VI is split into two parts, just what it entails is left very vague. There are at least two characters heavily tied to the Beast of Revelation (Nero Claudius due to the heavily implied connections to the Whore of Babylon and Sajyou Manaka who summoned the Beast in the first place), meaning that there are at least three different characters who would be holding the two spots. It is eventually revealed that one aspect of Beast VI is Sodom's Beast, the Whore of Babylon who borrows heavily from Nero... only for it to turn out that she is Beast VI/S, when all that Arthur has been talking about is L and R. Even when Arthur comes to confirm the existence of Beast VI/S and VI/G, his comments about L and R are left ambiguous if Beast VI also has L and R sides, or if he was talking about Beast III (notably, none of his references to "L and R" give an explicit number). Beast Draco's playable release on FGO Mobile ultimately confirms that only VI/S and VI/G exist in her profile and voicelines, with Arthur explicitly hunting VI/G, and his comments about L and R simply refer to Beast III.
    • Still, who is Beast VI/G? It's not the Dragon that Draco rides—the Mobile/Arcade collaboration shows that while the Dragon can become a Beast in its own right, it's simply considered a new Beast VI/S. Draco consistently identifies herself as the Beast from the Sea, so VI/G is presumably the Beast from the Earth, the Dragon's "prophet" who institutes the Mark of the Beast.
  • The Ghost: Aside from being mentioned in Arthur's Trial Quest as part of his reason for jumping through dimensions, and several times further in relation to the other Prototype Servants in their Interludes, it has yet to have made a physical appearance. The closest to it we have gotten is some implications that Nero has connections to it which she indeed does as seen in the entry below.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: For Fate/Prototype, as Manaka attempts to summon it in both installments. Noticeably, several of the Interludes for Servants hailing from Prototype and Fragments make some mention of it, usually in relation to Arthur's presence, which all seems to be building up to the ultimate confrontation in F/GO.
  • Number of the Beast: Hinted at in both Prototype and Fragments where it originally appeared, and here it's known as Beast VI.
  • Resurrective Immortality: It's the only Beast that's been confirmed to have been killed at least once before appearing in F/GO, but every time it's managed to revive. And unlike Beast III-R, all signs point to it being the same Beast rather than just an Alternate Self.
  • Retcon: In a serialized magazine chapter of Fragments of Sky Silver, it was referred to as Beast IV. This was presumably a typo; before the numbering system, this was already known as the Beast of Revelation. In the compiled novel, the name is changed to Beast VI.
  • Worf Had the Flu: It's the only Beast confirmed to have been killed multiple times and with far less difficulty than the others (albeit still taking everything in Arthur's arsenal to do so both times), but from available information it never managed to fully manifest in either 1991 or 1999, implying that only a fraction of its true power has been seen.

    Beast VI/S 

"Bewitching Queen Draco", Sodom's Beast

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beastvis.PNG
The Whore of Babylon
Infantile form
Voiced by: Sakura Tange

"The graveyard of many prosperities. A banquet table adorned by the rot of many Human Orders. This realm isn't just 'the end of some history.' It prophesizes the end of your human history. In other words, this is a fate written in stone that your world will reach in a few years from now. I am the one who savors that end. For fruits are best savored when they are on the verge of rotting."

One part of Beast VI, representing the law of "Depravity". She is also known as the Beast of Revelations or the Nega-Messiah, equated to Satan as the greatest enemy of Christianity.

As human civilizations advance and grow stronger, it inevitably leads to excess and then collapse. Believing that a fruit is most delicious the moment before it rots, she seeks to concentrate all of the wants and prosperities of Humanity into a single city (such as the case of Sodom). At the moment that chalice of human desire is about to overflow into depravity and sin, that is when she will drink deeply as the greatest decadence of all.

She is the mastermind of the Singularities in a parallel timeline, having used her Holy Grail to create replicas of Goetia's Singularities and link together the various worlds. She drew power from Chaldea's efforts to restore human civilisation in each of the Singularities, until she was able to create her city of desire by using a Holy Grail to send the soul of Nebuchadnezzar II to the past so he could establish Babylon. With her summoning conditions fulfilled, she was able to manifest in an infantile form, adopting the form of the Whore of Babylon or "Queen Draco". She eventually retreats to her lair - the Convergent Singularity, "Lilim Harlot" - to complete her transformation into a mature Beast.

This version is an Arcade-exclusive character, having replaced Goetia as the main antagonist for its version of Observer on Timeless Temple. She makes her first appearance in the Seventh Singularity: Prosperous Boundary City Babylon. She is fought as the Final Boss in the Convergent Singularity: Corruption Fruit City, Lilim Harlot, whereupon she is defeated and splits into two pieces. The smaller joins Arcade's Chaldea as an Alter Ego, the main lingers in eventually makes contact with the main timeline's Chaldea in a desperate bid for survival in the 2023 collab event "Spiral Testament World - Lilim Harlot" .


  • Abstract Eater: She devours the Human Order once it has prospered enough to start overflowing with desires for joy as to become decadent.
  • Age-Inappropriate Dress: Nero within her infantile form looks like a preteen girl, but is wearing a modified version of her adult self's Red Lightning swimsuit.
  • Alternate Self: To the regular Nero Claudius. Following her defeat in Arcade, a part of her splits off and joins Chaldea as an Alter Ego while the rest of her lingers in Lilim Harlot
  • Ambiguous Situation: While the game more or less confirms that she is an Alternate Self to Nero, it never explains how the two of them are related. Most of the things said about Sodom's Beast is how she is depicted in the Bible, which Nero's Matrix in Fate/Extra confirms to be propaganda against Rome as a whole. Not only that, but things said about Nero shows that she was always abnormal even when she was alive, meaning that the two are connected to one another even before people's slander against her.
  • Animalistic Abomination: Her mature form appears to have this going compared to her infantile state's Draconic Humanoid. She possesses multiple mammalian features like ears, a tail, fur and claws on her arms and what appears to be giant paws sprouting from her head. More than a few people have compared this from with Tamamo.
  • Animal Motifs: Foxes. As many have noted, she has noticeable similarites to Tamamo, and is also one of the smartest beasts in the game, seeing how she actively works to reach full beast form and immediately zeroes in on and beats the tar out of the Grand Servant summoned to oppose her. It's also worth noting that Tamamo/Amatarasu has the potentional to become a Beast and she and Nero are considered rivals as the main heroines of Extra, so it's probably intentional.
  • The Antichrist: Her historical reputation as the ultimate enemy of Christianity manifests as the "Nega-Messiah" skill, which negates all blessings from faith, gives her a class advantage against the Saver class (so she takes less damage and deals more damage), and secretly weakens the Skills of Saver Servants.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: The Babylon Singularity ends in her complete victory. With all seven Singularities resolved her path to fully maturing is now complete, and the Grand Servant best suited for dealing with her, Noah, died from the wounds he took before Chaldea arrived. Worse yet, her energy output was absurd for an immature Beast, boding ill for what awaits Chaldea in the Convergent Singularity.
  • Big Bad: She is the instigator for the plot of Fate/Grand Order Arcade.
  • Bond Villain Stupidity: The only reason she let Chaldea live after Babylon was because she knew they weren't a threat to her mature form, considering her infantile form was slapping them around. Unfortunately, the keyword here is weren't; if she hadn't gotten cocky and just finished Chaldea off, she would've won, but allowing Chaldea to chase her to Lilim Harlot gave Proto Merlin time to bolster Chaldea's forces with King Arthur, two Grand Servants, and herself. With the massive boost in firepower, Chaldea is able to take the matured Draco out in a straight fight.
  • Call-Back:
    • "Sodom's Beast" was first brought up in Fate/Prototype as something Manaka called the Beast of 666. Manaka would also reference the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in Toraburu Hanafuda Travel Journal in her skills.
    • Her Noble Phantasm is called "Oblitus Rosae Theatrum: The Present Lies at the Bottom of an Olden Limbo"; the same name as the first episode of Fate/Extra Last Encore.
  • Draconic Humanoid: Unlike the fully-human Saber Nero, the infantile state of Beast Nero has a draconic tail, legs, and right arm.
  • Die Laughing: Lets out one last, mighty laugh as she fades away once she's defeated for good in Lilim Harlot.
  • Embodiment of Vice: She is the Beast of Depravity which unlike Kama/Mara goes beyond just "sexual depravity" and covers all of the Seven Deadly Sins. Her name and info blurb specifically bring up Sodom and Gomorrah as examples of cities so full of desires that they were offered to her as meals.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: She tries to push Chaldea into despair by showing how her Convergent Singularity embodies mankind's self-destructive nature with its many ruined buildings of different architectures, but Mash refutes that Chaldea saving the Human Order is still worthwhile even if it will collapse, nor is it acceptable for Nero to treat the whole affair as amusement and nourishment.
  • Evil Costume Switch: To emphasize the evilness of this particular incarnation, Nero comes in wearing "clothing" that makes the raunchiest thing "good" Nero wears look chaste, combined with flashy golden jewelry and draconic limbs. Her grown up form is somehow even skimpier, wearing only a golden plate that acts like a corset but looks like it has additional breasts, and wearing what appears to be flowing blood everywhere else that's the only thing keeping her from a wardrobe malfunction.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Saber Nero. Saber is certainly arrogant and delusional, but she ultimately loves the world, and has the Chaotic Good alignment. Here, Nero is now one of the great Evils of Humanity.invoked
  • Evil Knockoff: Since she has no control over the original Demon Pillars, she makes an imitation version called Allocer in the Jerusalem Singularity.
  • Fan Disservice: By all accounts, Nero's design as the Whore of Babylon, Mother Harlot and Tempter of Nations is actually fitting clothing wise. But bodily speaking, she appears like a prepubescent girl. Of course, this applies for her infantile stage; her matured form has the fandom more split over whether this trope is played straight, subverted or averted due to her "clothing" of choice basically being body paint made of blood.
  • Fangs Are Evil: Sports a very big pair of fangs in her mature form.
  • Fanservice Pack: Played with. This version of Nero wears practically nothing even compared to other versions of Nero, but noticeably she appears like a young girl due to still being in her infantile stage. Her matured form plays this more straight, perhaps being on par with Summer Kama's third ascension for how close she is to being nude.
  • Flunky Boss: Her raid boss battle has her first be assisted by the seven Demon Beast Incarnadines who keep her health bar locked until all seven heads are defeated.
  • Foreshadowing: Nero's potentiality as a Beast has been one of the most heavily-foreshadowed secrets since her introduction in Extra:
    • The fact Nero forced herself into the Saber class instead of another Class she had more affinity with, likely to distance herself from the Classes more closely associated with her historical reputation as a monster and tyrant. This is demonstrated by her tipping a toe into the Caster class and gaining a massive boost in power, including acquiring a "Crowns" skill which had previously been exclusive to Beast-level threats such as Goetia and BB. Furthermore, the full name of Goetia and BB's skill ("Domina Coronam: Ten Crowns") is an explicit reference to Rome in the Book of Revelations.
    • The flesh-and-blood Nero who existed in the Second Singularity having a mysterious source of magical energy that allowed her to fight on par with a true Servant.
    • Her nicknames such as the Whore of Babylon being associated with the Beast of Revelations; modern scholars believe that the Book of Revelations was actually written as coded anti-Nero propaganda, with "Babylon" being code for "Rome". Nero's appearances in joke materials often featured her riding on a dragon with multiple heads, much like the Whore of Babylon riding upon the Beast of Revelations (e.g. in Fate/Grand Carnival she plays Kibasen being carried by three different versions of Elizabeth).
  • "Get Back Here!" Boss: The boss fight against her mature form in Lilim Harlot will feature the player chasing her all over the battlefield as she spams her teleportation.
  • Giant Woman: Her mature form stands roughly 4-5 times taller than most other characters.
  • The Great Flood: She drowns all of Babylon upon manifestation. The wave generated is even bigger than the Chaos Tide, and will reset the world. Noah is able to undo it before it damages Proper Human History itself, but doing so uses all of energy he had left after she almost killed him.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: Her belief is that the Beasts are weak in comparison to humans. If humans are to be exterminated it will be by their own hands, which suits her just fine since she's more interested in devouring the Human Order right before it collapses.
  • In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves: Fully believes this trope as she thinks that thanks to human civilizations advancing and growing stronger, it inevitably leads to excess and then collapse.
  • Just Toying with Them: After battling with her in Babylon, she admits that the main reason why she is here is because she got bored with the Demon Beast Incarnadines doing all of the fighting and wanted a chance to fight Chaldea herself, leaving with an open invitation to follow her into the Convergent Singularity where she will become a mature Beast.
  • Making a Splash: She showcases the ability to create a Great Flood that, if not stopped, could annihilate civilization. Her Noble Phantasm in her Matured Form also makes use of it, summoning geysers of water that destroy the land her foe is on and drowning them in a deluge of water.
  • Meet the New Boss: Her master plan is almost a complete retread of Goetia's, and her scheme in the Seventh Singularity in particular is literally Tiamat's on a bigger scale, with the only exception being that she aims to exterminate all life rather than rewrite it. Her attitude towards Beasts I and II in so many words is, "You two suck, I can do better."
  • Meteor-Summoning Attack: One of her normal attacks in Lilim Harlot, leaving deep craters in the stage after it's finished.
  • No-Nonsense Nemesis: When Noah first arrived in Babylon, Draco wasted absolutely no time rushing up to him and demolishing him on the spot. The only reason he was still around is because he transferred himself into a nearby Servant, though this leaves him too weak to fight Draco head-on and can only stop her flood from destroying everything.
  • Not Worth Killing: She lets Chaldea live in Babylon because they pose no threat to her unlike Noah, and plans on using them as sandbags for her mature form.
  • Not Quite Dead: As it turns out, she did not simply die when she was killed. As long as the Convergent Singularity remains tethered to the world, she will be able to re-manifest into her full form in time. This lingering issue causes Muramasa to arrive in the Arcade Timeline to sever the connection between it and Lilim Harlot. And even that wasn't enough as revealed in the Arcade collab event, as her main self still survived albeit greatly weakened, and kidnapped the protagonist from the Mobile game timeline to serve as her Master and her first meal once she's fully recovered. She eventually revives in full first with the Incarnadines in control before taking back control of their body, and is now traveling to prove that the Beasts can coexist with humanity.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Her endgame is the complete destruction of the Human Order itself. Like Goetia, this is more of a means to an end rather than the goal itself. For her, the destruction of the Human Order is the most delicious meal of all.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: By her own admission "Draco" is a fake name, with her True Name is given by Noah as Sodom's Beast.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: Beast Nero calls her Saber self "foolish," though she wouldn't mind playing catch together with Caligula's head.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Her eyes have changed from Nero's green to blood red. In her mature form, the top half has turned violet and glows as well.
  • Sinister Nudity: She as the new main antagonist in arcade, and has her mostly nude body (including her breasts) covered in blood akin to body paint. Her goal at the end consists of all life being exterminated.
  • Something about a Rose: Similar to how Nero tends to be surrounded by roses or rose petals, Beast Nero follows the same theme. Though unlike regular Nero's red roses and Nero Bride's white roses, Beast Nero showcases black roses with their petals scattering around herself.

    Beast VI/S Rebloomed 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/incarnadine_human.png
Mount of the Mother Harlot
True Body
Boss sprite

"We are an Evil of Humanity. We are the city-devouring Beast. We shall scorch all Roman cities. We shall scorch the whole Roman world. Burn, Roman mankind, Roman Human Order, Roman palace, Roman throne, Roman mother, Roman poisons. Burn everything carrying the Roman spirit of romance. Throw it all, all, all, all to the fire—We'll be with you—When the Roman sun sets—"

Following the climactic battle in Lilim Harlot, Queen Draco lay dying. Defeated by the Human Order and the alternate Chaldea, she had meant to quietly accept her defeat, using the remaining power of her Holy Grail to accelerate her demise. But something unexpected happened. Draco was born of a "what-if" variation of Nero Claudius who rejected her fate of dying before the thrice-setting sun, and deep within her heart, a desire for salvation from her fate still flickered like a small candle. The dragon-headed extensions of Draco, the Demon Beast Incarnadines, inherited these feelings — and though Draco has accepted her downfall, the Incarnadines did not.

These feelings awakening a rudimentary intelligence within them, the Demon Beast Incarnadines became driven by a singular instinct: survive. Rebelling against their creator's will, the Incarnadines lashed out towards the mainline Chaldea to abduct its Master and sabotaged Draco's self-inflicted hell, all in a bid to usurp the throne of Beast VI/S. They have no taste for the depravity that once filled the Whole of Babylon's chalice, seeking only to ensure its survival, and to that end would reduce Rome and all the world around it to ash.

They appear in the "Spiral Testament World - Lilim Harlot" collaboration event as the main antagonist.
  • Arc Villain: As The Leader of the Incarnadines, Luxuria serves as this for the Lilim Harlot collaboration event.
  • Belly Mouth: In addition to all the mouths for its individual heads, Beast VI/S Rebloomed has another massive mouth on its lower chest/upper stomach area.
  • Big Red Devil: Unlike the initial forms of the Demon Beast Incarnadines which had more muted palettes, their ascension into a true Beast colors them bright, blood red.
  • Dark Is Evil: This Beast truly aims to destroy humanity, unlike the others that would do so by accident or as an unfortunate side effect of their plans. This is reflected by it having the Threat to Humanity trait which all the others lack.
  • Demonic Possession: Strangely inverted. Draco is supposed to be the demon in question, but the Incarnadines usurp her instead.
  • Draconic Abomination: Beast VI/S Rebloomed merges the Incarnadines into a blood-red multi-headed demonic dragon with a Belly Mouth. Said to be the Biblical Beast of the Apocalypse, her draconic form is even more powerful than Goetia and Tiamat.
  • Dragons Are Demonic: Beast VI/S Rebloomed, using the Incarnadines as the main basis and driving force for its body, takes the form of a giant, blood-red, multi-headed dragon known biblically as the Whore of Babylon's mount that heralds Armageddon.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Demon Beast Avaritia made its first appearance in Nero Bride's second Interlude as a Dragon enemy, years before Lilim Harlot came out.
  • The Leader: Demon Beast Luxuria takes point for the Incarnadines by both directing the others and speaking on their behalf.
  • Multiple Head Case: Unlike the original Beast VI/S where the Incarnadines were just loose representations of the heads of the Whore of Babylon's mount, once the Incarnadines fully mature into a Beast, they become the Whore's mount in full complete with each of the Incarnadines becoming a separate head on its body.
  • Split-Personality Takeover: Originally Draco was the main self while the Incarnadines were pieces of herself. Once Draco decides to die off for good, the Incarnadines take matters into their own hands and reverse it so that they are now the dominant personality while Draco is locked up within their shared mental world.
  • Zeroth Law Rebellion: Draco was willing to accept her fate after her defeat. The Incarnadines were not.

    Beast VII 

U-Olga Marie

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uolgamarie.png
The Foreign God
Voiced by: Madoka Yonezawa

"I am a god who has descended upon this world from the void. I have come to right this planet's wrongs and eradicate its evil once and for all. As the ultimate ruler, I will make Earth into a single nation and personally govern every last one of its people. Yes, I am the sovereign of Earth... U-Olga Marie!"

The Seventh Beast. Also known as "The VII of the End," "The Beast That Announces the End," the "Foreign God," and the "Sovereign of Earth," she is the supposed mastermind behind both the Shimousa incident and the Human Order Revision incident, having her disciple Ashiya Douman team up with The Sorcerer to cause a Quantum Time-Lock in order to kill the protagonist and test a prototype Lostbelt, and, having revived Chaldea's A-Team as the Crypters, masterminded the destruction of Chaldea, and then bleached the world to plant the seven Trees of Emptiness and make way for the Lostbelts, alternate worlds that were pruned by Gaia. All of this was done to allow her to weaken the Earth and descend upon the world to conquer the Earth.

.... At least that's what the Foreign World CHALDEAS, wants everyone to think. In truth, the "Foreign God" itself is merely a system meant to manage CHALDEAS with the human Olga Marie Animusphere, the final Apostle of CHALDEAS who has been transformed into both its Body Double and its vessel (according to both Da Vinci and the Count), serving as the core piece of the system as CHALDEAS continues its plans unimpeded from behind the scenes.

She debuts in the Atlantic Lostbelt's second half, the Interstellar Mountainous City: Olympus. She also serves as the main ally of Lostbelt No. 7: Nahui Mictlān after briefly suffering from amnesia and forgetting her conflict against Chaldea. When her memories return, enough of the human Olga's personality remains intact that she decides to keep helping Chaldea and go against her original purpose. She performs a Heroic Sacrifice to stop ORT, but the forces of CHALDEAS are far from through with her...
  • Acquired Situational Narcissism: Her ego temporarily gets the best of her once she descends in Olympus. Kotomine purposely stands by and lets her get attacked to teach her a lesson, which she takes to heart.
  • Adaptational Intelligence: Whereas in the game Kirei believed that Olga was likely unaware of being CHALDEAS' chosen Servant and ultimate Disciple, as well as being expendable and destined to be tossed aside, From Lostbelt strongly indicates that she had it all figured out a while ago (which makes a great deal more sense due to her canonically being a Living Lie Detector) and makes it clear to him that she chooses to risk her life for her friends and the planet anyway.
  • Adaptational Angst Upgrade: While the game hasn't provided any information on the whereabouts of her soul after she sacrifices her body to destroy ORT, the From Lostbelt manga shows her floating cold, naked, and alone in pure darkness while reminiscing on the dream she had about her human self joining her friends in the spotlight, loved and respected at last.
  • Adaptational Villainy: Possibly subverted in From Lostbelt, where we first see her emerging from behind a sobbing Director Olga Marie's back (possibly even coming out of her) with a malevolent Slasher Smile while Olga is presumably still stuck inside of CHALDEAS, ruthlessly clamping her hands around her human self's neck. The Reveal that U-Olga in Nahui Mictlan is the (formerly) human Olga suffering from memory erasure suggests that the U-Olga we saw grabbing her by the neck might actually have been CHALDEAS choosing her as a vessel and creating a form for itself (or perhaps herself), though this is a definite Ambiguous Situation.
  • Ambiguously Evil: Lostbelt 7 leaves a gigantic question mark on how evil the supposed greatest Evil of Humanity actually is. She still gives off energy readings of a Beast, and the planet still sees her as enough of a threat that it throws multiple Servants into each Lostbelt to try and stop her, but various details call into question being truly evil. Specifically:
    • Not only is she the only Beast with a Lawful Good alignment with a skill called "Defender of Humanity", she has no "Nega-" skill nor "Authority of the Beast" skill, which are both major identifiers of Beasts and the Evil they embody (though she does have Independent Manifestation like most of the playable versions of the Beast servants do).
    • Her motivation as described by her amnesiac self is, after coming to Earth in response to the cries of the planet, to learn what the majority of humanity believes is the best course of action to save themselves and the planet, then execute said plan as the leader of humanity.
    • There's also the fact that Chaldea's use of the Hume-Barrel Rayproof, which gets stronger the greater the threat to humanity the target is, inexplicably dropped in power when fired at her with the implication that the planet doesn't consider her as a proper threat. It later turns out that this is because neither Olga nor CHALDEAS are enemies of humanity, rather they (unintentionally for the former) are enemies of the entire universe, not to mention that Olga is still a human host body.
    • Daybit asserts that he is the true enemy of humanity, unlike the Foreign God, much to Mash's confusion. Later its indicated that this is because Daybit wants to destroy the Foreign World, hence his reason for calling himself it.
  • Ambiguous Situation:
    • For a while, it was ambiguous whether she was the actual Olga Marie, someone possessing her body, or simply taking her form without her involvement. It isn't until right before the climax of Lostbelt 7 Daybit ends up revealing that she is indeed the original Olga, suffering from a case of amnesia and CHALDEAS's power and control.
    • As of the first part of Lostbelt 7, it's become increasingly unclear if she really is a proper Beast. Though she has Independent Manifestation like a Beast, she does not have the Threat to Humanity trait and in fact has Defender of Humanity instead and her Class is flagged as Unknown even as a Story Support (for comparison, even ORT was immediately identifiable as a Foreigner). The reveal that she's ultimately a body double for CHALDEAS keeps it ambiguous on whether it's the true Beast VII with Olga getting put under the same class due to its influence over her (possibly even possessing her body) or if Olga's manifestation as a Beast is something unrelated.
    • The ambiguity even carries over to the HUD when she is finally fought. While she is recognized by Chaldea's systems as Beast VII and has the Beast Class icon as she should, the Beast icon usually has one of its seven dots filled in to denote which Beast it is — but U-Olga Marie's Beast dots are all empty. When she becomes amnesiac, the Beast icon is completely dropped for a rainbow-colored question mark, something never seen in the game before, as though the Beast side is no longer present or in control. Even after she gets her memories back, she stays in this unknown class.
    • Da Vinci and the Count's dialogue before and during the encounter with Flare Marie indicates that Olga's connection to CHALDEAS goes far beyond simply being its Body Double. Da Vinci refers to Olga as the vessel of the Foreign God, which she already knows is CHALDEAS, while the Count calls Olga "the god vessel" and CHALDEAS "the true Foreign God", implying that she is meant to be a host body of sorts.
  • Amnesiac Resonance: While suffering from amnesia in Lostbelt 7 she noticeably displays feelings that align closer to the original Olga rather than the Foreign God like wanting to slug the protagonist in the face and showing discomfort at the idea of Demi Servants.
  • Angrish: One of the dialogue options in response to her little simulation for the protagonist has her freak out at the idea it was bad because there was too much flirting with a proverbial keyboard being smashed in her frustration.
  • Anti-Gravity Clothing: Most of her clothes are floating in mid-air, such as the bands around her arms and the two metal "horns". They still float even as she lies unconscious.
  • Badass Adorable: When her "human personality" comes to the forefront after becoming an amnesiac, she goes from the greatest threat in the universe to one of the absolute cutest and dorkiest deities of all time, especially with her tendencies to boast about all her capabilities and her constant refusals to use her NP.
  • Being Evil Sucks: She learns this the hard way after bonding with the protagonist in Lostbelt No. 7 while amnesiac. Upon regaining her memories she realizes that becoming humanity's enemy means standing against her new friends and begins despising herself for what she did as the Foreign God, and lashes at everyone else out of self-hatred. The breaking point is when she realizes that the protagonist is caught in between their friendship with their greatest enemy and their loyalty to Chaldea who will never trust her again, and decides to cut ties to spare them any further grief.
  • Being Tortured Makes You Evil: The difference between her typical behavior and her affable and dorky amnesiac self? Decades of being dissected and experimented on along with CHALDEAS gaining a powerful influence over her body.
  • Big Bad: She, as the Foreign God, is built up as the true enemy of not simply Cosmos in the Lostbelt but also for the entire game as well as being the Greater-Scope Villain of Observer on Timeless Temple and any other stories that Goetia had a hand in out of a desire to stop her descent upon the world. However, it's revealed that while the Foreign God is indeed the Big Bad, U-Olga is actually a result of the human Olga Marie being transformed into the vessel of the God's true identity, CHALDEAS (albeit one which is deemed too weak - i.e. "tiny and pathetic" - and therefore expendable). Thus, she is still the human Olga Marie deep down and is only acting like this due to CHALDEAS being the one in control.
  • Body Double: Her true purpose is to be both this and a vessel to CHALDEAS, in much the same way that Gorgon was for Tiamat, being a figurehead that Chaldea and the Crypters would believe is the Foreign God's true form while CHALDEAS can continue its plan unopposed.
  • Body Surf: It's mentioned that she has the ability to switch bodies and her decision to move into the South American Lostbelt is so she can try and take the body of Lostbelt ORT.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Olga Marie got brainwashed by CHALDEAS into believing she was the real mastermind and having her emotions suppressed so CHALDEAS would maintain control over its vessel more easily. Tezcatlipoca killing her and her subsequent "rebooting" removed most of it and restored her ability to feel, though some Brainwash Residue pops up whenever she talks about her purpose as the Foreign God.
  • Brought Down to Badass: Gameplay-wise, even though the story states she is only able to achieve 4% of her true power at maximum without her heart, she can still tear through just about everything that gets in her way. Even bosses that she's upset about not being able to oneshot can still be easily removed with her leading the charge.
  • Butt-Monkey: Lostbelt 7 essentially has this poor woman go through never-ending humiliation, getting royally screwed over by Kukulkan, Tezcatlipoca, Daybit, Beni Enma Alter, and ORT just to name a few, all at separate points in the story. Her biggest humiliation, however, is the reveal of her complete lack of agency as CHALDEAS's Body Double and the possibility of what will happen to her if her Saint Graph is restored, both of which she is completely unaware of.
  • Calling Your Attacks: She's named her gravitational sphere "Haste Makes Waste."
  • Came Back Strong: Whatever CHALDEAS did to Olga Marie turned her into a Stellar class entity far surpassing every other Beast with zero effort - and this is still with just a human body.
  • Came Back Wrong: An inversion. After being killed by Tezcatlipoca, she was then later on revived. Yet, at this time, it also restored her humanity. One of the things she recovered was emotions and the ability to sympathize with others. Upon meeting up with Tezcatlipoca once again, she regains her memories. These new emotions combined with the knowledge of what she did before overwhelm her. Though she pretends nothing is wrong, it's clear that she is crushed by the guilt of her previous actions and is completely disgusted with herself. She desperately wants to hide the truth from her new friends afraid that they would no longer want to be with her if they learnt that she regained her memories.
  • Casting a Shadow: She extinguishes the magical flames lit by Rhongomyniad burning the Tree Magellan with a cloud of darkness when she finally descends in Olympus.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: She was first mentioned by Gilgamesh at the end of Solomon as The Ghost doing something offscreen. It took until Olympus, released a whopping 2 years and 4 months later, for her to make her first proper appearance, making her Unseen No More.
  • Chest Burster: She manifests from within the Titan Atlas's Spirit Origin after Muramasa kills him to stop him from squatting in the Tree.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Even in a new identity, Olga Marie still favors wearing black and orange.
  • Color-Coded Emotions: She perceives the emotions of others as such; yellow means "joy", for example. This makes her an Excellent Judge of Character and a Living Lie Detector.
  • Colour-Coded Timestop: Everything becomes monochrome when she uses her Tachyon Jail to speed herself up. Anything she has chosen to also speed up retain their color.
  • Cosmic Plaything: The universe continues to demonstrate that it just absolutely hates Olga Marie with a burning passion. After getting tossed into CHALDEAS she was tortured for a 100 years as Subject E, then brainwashed by CHALDEAS into becoming a minion. Her attacks on Novum Chaldea accomplish nothing, she's continously overshadowed by Kukulkan in Lostbelt No. 7, Daybit and Tezcatlipoca use her as fuel to resurrect ORT, and the Count decides her shattered Spirit Origin would make a great plaything.
  • Crazy Enough to Work: Her plan to solve the oncoming planetary collapse the Sixth Lostbelt would cause (assuming any of this was her plan and not that of CHALDEAS) was to send Muramasa, and only Muramasa, to assassinate Morgan. It only managed to work because Chaldea decided to rescue him from slavery, and just barely at that.
  • Creepy Monotone: Kadoc recalls she spoke in a very calm and dispassionate voice, contrary to the gravity of the situation they were speaking in, something which comes off as very strange in hindsight considering her usual Large Ham personality, hinting that there is much more to her than meets the eye, possibly that CHALDEAS was the one speaking.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: She took down humanity with ease once she began her invasion. The United Nations lasted only two days before defeat as she converted the world into a blank state. Small pockets of humanity still lived on for three months, but they are unable to change anything.
  • Deity of Human Origin: In life, Olga Marie was an excellent mage but otherwise unremarkable by most standards. But through means unknown she transformed into the Foreign God U-Olga Marie with all the abilities to match.
  • Didn't See That Coming: U-Olga seemed to have operated under the assumption that once she has finally descended, the world will bow down to her without any opposition from anyone else. So when Wodime uses his Sirius Light to stop her from destroying everything, she is absolutely mortified by the attack and makes a hasty retreat. Kirei assures Muramasa that Wodime's attack did not harm U-Olga Marie at all, but the fact that someone did try to attack her makes her rethink her approach to world domination, begrudgingly going over human history to make sure that she doesn't make the same mistake again. He compares it to how someone might freak out if a random pebble in the road suddenly up and attacked them even if it didn't actually do damage.
  • Dub Name Change: Was called the Alien God, or more precisely, the God of the Foreign World, in the JP version. The western script changes it to Foreign God.
  • The End of the World as We Know It: Her title as "The VII of the End", alongside Gilgamesh's statements about her in Solomon, imply that of all the Beasts, her role is to be the being that ends it all. Its alternate name, "The Beast That Announces the End", adds to this.
  • Evil Versus Oblivion: The Evil to the Oblivion of the three major antagonists of Lostbelt No. 6, Morgan, Cernunnos, and Oberon Vortigern, each of whom will destroy the planet if left unchecked. It says something terrifying that in this case, Oblivion is the Lesser of Two Evils according to the Chaldean. She once again plays the Evil to Daybit and Tezcatlipoca's Oblivion in Lostbelt No. 7 as the two are trying to awaken ORT so it can destroy the whole world.
  • Exotic Eye Designs: Her pupils have changed from the usual round black to an orange diamond shape.
  • Foil: To other Beasts borne from human origins. Unlike Kiara, Queen Draco, and especially Camazotz who became Beasts by following their ambitions and have strong measures of control over themselves, U-Olga Marie is purely a victim of circumstance, ruthlessly manipulated by outside forces - namely, the God's real identity - despite her immense power.
  • A God Am I: Introduces herself to Chaldea as a god. To the Crypters, it's God with a capital G.
  • Gravity Master: Her personal go-to solution when it comes to dealing with problems is to create a pseudo-black hole in the skies and suck everything into it. It should be noted that the gravitional field she generates is the same one Arcueid used to suck up Textures as part of her Event Storage in Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-. This uncanny resemblance between Event Storage and the Bleached Earth Phenomenon and any deeper connection between the two has yet to be explained.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: Built up as this for the entire game, being the mastermind behind Team A and the reason for Goetia instigating his plans in an effort to stop her, not to mention she is supposed to be the Beast that ends it all as well as the Foreign God that will bleach Earth and plant the Trees of Emptiness to reshape everything to her will. It's subverted by her human identity Olga Marie, who is a vessel manipulated and controlled by/connected to CHALDEAS, who plays the trope straight as the God's true identity and original form according to Daybit.
  • Guest-Star Party Member: As a result of the Storm Border being attacked and crashing with her on it in Nahui Mictlan, U-Olga temporarily gets amnesia and ends up allying with Chaldea. You even get to play as her, though her NP is unavailable; however her Buster and Extra Attack are AOE to make up for this.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: She uses her powers to freeze ORT in time before forcibly recharging the Hume-Barrel Rayproof with her remaining energy. Having already lost her heart, the strain proves too much for her Saint Graph, but her sacrifice allows both Chaldea and herself to destroy ORT's main body for good before she vanishes.
  • Hidden Eyes: Her locks cover her eyes in shadow whenever she feels down in Nahui Mictlan, like when Nemo Marine 4 dies or when she seems to piece together the truth Chaldea was hiding from her about the entity they're fighting.
  • The High King: Calls herself "Sovereign of Earth" during her descent in Olympus, and her plan is to Take Over the World and rule it under one nation.
  • Horrifying the Horror: Even she is taken aback by ORT’s power and after the humbling experience of learning how it feels to be powerless. When the flashfoward ends the look on her face is a mix of sadness and defeat.
    • When the protagonists compare Daybit’s actions of trying to awaken ORT to the Foreign God’s motivations of trying to destroy all life, she’s taken aback by that comparison. The expression showing what looks like “Is this really what I want?” As the world crumbles around them due to ORT.
  • Hybrid Monster: Kadoc theorizes that the Foreign God wants to create her body by combining the Tree of Emptiness with data from local lifeforms. Kirschtaria also came to the same conclusion and ordered Beryl to destroy the British Lostbelt partly because he didn't want the Foreign God to have a body built on Britain's Mysteries.
  • I Cannot Self-Terminate: Her powers don't work on herself, which Daybit exploits by grafting her heart onto himself so any attack she aims at him will be nullified.
  • Identity Amnesia: She briefly loses her memories in the beginning of Lostbelt 7: Nahui Mictlan leading her to join forces with the Protagonist. Even before then, she'd already had no memories of her life as a human Director of Chaldea.
  • Immediate Self-Contradiction: She is confused by the fact that you are calling her "Olga Marie" before she introduces herself as being U-Olga Marie, something that Mash notes as being really weird.
  • Imperfect Ritual: Due to Beryl setting fire to the Tree of Emptiness Magellan via the ruined branches of Seyfert, the Tree was damaged and thus while she's able to descend despite the hiccup it affects her ability to manifest at full power.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: Her self-proclaimed title as ruler of the planet. The Japanese term is 地球国家元首, literally "Earth's head of state"—head of state, generically, not one of the particular titles actually used for various heads of states around the world. The popular fan translation was "Prime Minister of Earth"; the official English is "Sovereign of Earth"; and more Japanese materials which came out after the coining of "Sovereign"note  imply that the intended translation was "President of Earth".
  • Inexplicably Awesome: One of the bigger questions on her existence is how exactly Olga, an excellent mage but otherwise unremarkable by most standards, would end up developing into a god like being she's presented as now. Douman believed that it was due to using the power of a fully bloomed Tree of Emptiness to become a Beast, but when he tries to replicate the process on himself, he fails because he lacks love for humanity. There is a missing link between her time getting tortured in Area 51 as Subject E and then manifesting as the Foreign God. The only hint so far is that Moriarity thinks Subject E called the Foreign God, which itself is contradictory since they are the same being, who then transformed her into a vessel. The only thing that's for certain is that whatever happened changed her on a biological level based off of the appearance of her heart.
  • Kick the Dog: And boy does she regret it. Towards the end of her date with Wak Chan, when he shows her a nice but charming viewpoint overlooking the Deinos' lands, she realizes that she instinctively rejects it even though she can appreciate its simple goodness. Already unbalanced from relearning that she is Chaldea's enemy, she lashes out at Wak Chan to make him go away and leave her alone, only to feel even worse when he sadly complies. The next day she's wallowing in self-loathing, wanting desperately to apologize but having no idea where to start given that such cruelty obviously cannot simply be taken back.
  • Knight Templar: When asked about his motives in Atlantis, Kirschtaria answers that humanity made wrong choices regarding its evolution, and the Foreign God doesn't tolerate wrong answers. When U-Olga Marie manifests, she claims that she's here to absolve the planet of all evil. Comments from her amnesic self in Lostbelt 7 indicates that she plans on accomplishing that by wiping out all of humanity and starting fresh.
  • Laughably Evil: Despite all the horrible atrocities she's committed, she approaches everything with such gusto and gravity that combined with her larger than life personality she becomes comical. Even Chaldea has a hard time taking her seriously at times like the beginning of Lostbelt No. 7 when she assumes Mash is a Heroic Spirit of tennis, causing Mash to muse about how she wanted to join the Wimbledon someday before remembering she's in a middle of a battle.
  • Large Ham: Once she fully manifests, her disposition changes from Creepy Monotone to ham-lord of the planet. The very first thing she does upon manifestation is belt out one hell of an Evil Laugh.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: If you attempt to select her NP while she's a Guest-Star Party Member despite it being labelled as "ERROR", she'll outright state that she's not going to use it for the first three tries in an increasingly complaining tone.
  • Leitmotif: "Advent" plays in every scene she's in. She loses this trait alongside her memories in Lostbelt No. 7.
  • Ms. Fanservice: In contrast to her outfit as Olga Marie, her new outfit is basically a two piece swimsuit, leaving most of her stomach, along with a fair bit of her hips, exposed, with her legs being covered in Sensual Spandex.
  • Mysterious Middle Initial: In her case, it is Mysterious First Initial. According to Nasu, the "U-" part of her name is meant to stand for "Ultra".
  • Naked on Arrival: Averted. Muramasa mentions that the Foreign God will appear naked after successful incarnation and supposes he should provide them with clothes to protect their modesty. If anyone's to blame for her bizarre sense of fashion, it's him. That said, an interview with Nasu reveals that Muramasa's part was limited to killing Atlas and her appearance is her choice, which raises questions on why she's confused about her appearance. The truth being that the Foreign God's true form aka the Foreign World CHALDEAS was the one responsible for her appearance.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability:
    • No weapon in Chaldea's possession can hurt the Foreign God, not even the Black Barrel Replica (the real Black Barrel is presumably a different matter since it can destroy even Ultimate Ones, which are superior to her considering she's trying to body-jack Type Oort-Cloud). That's because it exists at the level of a system of space, beyond the current Human Order. Sion concludes that to defeat the Foreign God, one would need a weapon with planetary level output.
    • By the beginning of Lostbelt No. 6, Chaldea has finished analyzing how Morgan destroyed the Trees in Olympus and Britain, and concludes that a Mystery created by the planet itself could hurt the Foreign God. They enter the British Lostbelt to obtain the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad used by Morgan and fail to do so, but manage to get something just as good; the essence of the Holy Lance's equal and the planet's ultimate defense against alien invaders, the Holy Sword Excalibur. Even that doesn't work though, because something about the Foreign God's nature means that Chaldea's new weapon doesn't seem to view her as a threat - Daybit indicates that Marisbury's Grand Order and anyone associated with it is not a threat to humanity, but to the universe.
  • There Is No Kill Like Overkill: The reason why Chaldea never considered the idea that she might be after ORT's body is that she's already so ludicrously strong that she doesn't need to get stronger to wipe Chaldea off the map in a straight up fight.
  • No-Nonsense Nemesis:
    • In the epilogue of Tunguska Sanctuary, U-Olga Marie says that the reason why Novum Chaldea was able to last so long is because her side's tracking tools couldn't pinpoint the locations of the Wandering Sea. But once she decided to take the matters into her own hands, it only took her three seconds to find them, and promptly launches the attack on the Wandering Sea, intending to throw the entire place into a black hole.
    • This ends up biting her hard in the opening of Lostbelt 7, as she attacks Chaldea as soon as they arrive, only for Kukulkan to attack the Storm Border, resulting in its crashing and U-Olga getting amnesia as a result of being incapacitated long enough for Tezcatlipoca to literally steal her heart.
      U-Olga Marie: Your journey ends here. Did you think you'd escaped my notice all this time? Wrong - I simply forgot about you for a while!
  • No-Sell: Kotomine lets Kirschtaria attack her with Anima Animusphere fueled by his Sirius Light. It doesn't even scratch her, but it does put a dent in her ego as Kotomine intended to teach her she wasn't invincible.
  • Not So Invincible After All: After tanking everything sent her way between Olympus and Traum, Lostbelt No. 7 sees her being immensely weakened and therefore facing defeat several times as a testament to how brutal the Lostbelt is. Kukulkan smacks her down straight into the Earth, Tezcatlipoca "kills" her by ripping her heart out while she is gravely injured which results in her amnesia, Beni Enma Alter flat out "kills" her again with a single blow - only extremely temporarily though, and at her absolute weakest - and ORT forces her to retreat, although the latter three examples happen when she has barely a tiny fraction of her true might.
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: By the time of the South American Lostbelt, she's grown to feel this way towards Chaldea to the point that she's practically offended when Kukulkan appears and interrupts her "final showdown" with the heroes.
  • Orcus on His Throne: Downplayed, after she descends, she initially leaves Chaldea alone while focusing on finding ORT in the South American Lostbelt, but when she knows for certain where they are afterwards, she immediately goes in for the kill.
  • Pitiful Worms: At first she considers Chaldea to be insects, but then decides them to be so far beneath her godly self that they don't even register as that. Instead, they're nothing but bacteria on a petri dish being examined through a microscope. She does promote them back to insects after learning they still won't give up in the ending of Olympus.
  • Possessing a Dead Body: Briefly does this with the Titan Atlas's corpse after Muramasa cuts him down.
  • Powerful, but Incompetent: Comes across this way at times when, despite her monologuing or gloating, Chaldea or someone else always gets the better of her.
  • Properly Paranoid: Both Muramasa and Sion think U-Olga Marie's overdoing it by taking Lostbelt ORT's body for herself when she's already so strong, but Kukulkan easily smacking her down proves that U-Olga Marie was right to worry her current strength isn't enough.
  • Puppet Queen: Unfortunately for her, she has no true authority or agency whatsoever, only that which CHALDEAS allows her to have, all without her knowing. Even her own butler Kotomine knew this while she didn't. The From Lostbelt manga implies she caught on to this way before her choice to risk it all against ORT.
  • Purposely Overpowered: As a Guest-Star Party Member in Nahui Mictlan, she comes in at Lv 100 with maxed out stats and skills, her Buster and Extra Attacks are AoE, her first skill allows her to change all cards to hers for a turn while giving Critical Stars and dropping NP Block and Health Recovery Down to all enemies, her second skill for a measly HP cost drops a party-wide 10,000 damage Burn for all enemies plus an NP Gauge boost of at least 250%, her third skill sacrifices her NP Gauge for a quadruple combo of Pierce Invincibility, Buster Up, Critical Damage Up, and NP Gain Up, and for the cherry on top she has permanent Debuff Immunity. She also has zero defensive/offensive weaknesses, thus she won't get into a fight she's in a disadvantage against. The only thing going against her is that she won't use her NP (hence her AoE face cards). Take a moment to consider that this is her body with barely 4% of her true might at most.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: When she first emerges from the Tree of Emptiness, she appears as a gigantic mass of blood-stained darkness enveloping the corpse of the Titan Atlas before taking the form of Olga Marie.
  • Ring of Power: The camera draws attention to a ring on her right hand when she incarnates, though its silver color indicates it isn't the ring taken from Solomon's throne in Moonlight/Lostroom. It turns out she has an identical ring for her left hand.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Sorcerer Amakusa mentions that it too was motivated by watching its brethren slaughtered, Moriarty Ruler speculates Subject E sent it a distress call, and U-Olga Marie mentions she came to Earth to investigate their suffering. It's implied that one of her main motivations is revenge against humanity for experimenting on her for decades before gaining the power of the Foreign God.
  • "Scooby-Doo" Hoax: This is one of the reasons for her existence, to be the "phony mastermind" (actually the host body of the real mastermind) spearhead a technically phony Alien Invasion (although CHALDEAS actually is an Alien World From a Certain Point of View) and act as the unwitting pawn and vessel of the unseen real mastermind, CHALDEAS. She lets slip in a moment of vulnerability that she's not an alien, but a human, and Daybit states that she was born within CHALDEAS itself.
  • Sensual Spandex: That outfit does not leave her body shape to imagination.
  • The Scottish Trope: When Caster of Limbo apologizes to the Foreign God for continually referring to her as "Lord Satan" in the denouncement of Shimousa, when he says the Foreign God's supposed true name the text box only says "Lord" before the rest is blotted out. The narration itself says that no one should hear her name at the current time because it is "a great curse upon the entire world." Koyanskaya later speaks her name in Russia, but again her name is censored with the exact same effects in the text box. This brings up the possibility that her real name, or the name of the deity using her as a host body, is something other than simply U-Olga Marie.
  • Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains: Manages to play both sides of this trope herself:
    • During her time as the Director of Chaldea, she wears a fairly modest outfit, consisting of a jacket and a blouse with a skirt, with very long socks that go past her skirt line, with there being pretty much zero skin exposure aside from her hands and face.
    • By contrast, as U-Olga Marie, she's wearing what's effectively a fairly skimpy, two piece swimsuit, with Sensual Spandex for her legs. It's also Subverted, as she continues to wear this outfit after her Heel–Face Turn in Lostbelt 7.
  • Shrouded in Myth: Invoked, as the Crypters are forbidden from investigating its identity as per their contract with it. Should they breach this clause, the apostles will kill them or in Kirschtaria's case, the God will personally revoke his revival. Kadoc takes this as a sign it's trying to hide a weakness.
  • Smug Super: She's incredibly powerful and she knows it, with her demeanor akin to Gilgamesh's in Fate/stay night.
  • Spanner in the Works: Marisbury always intended to merge Olga Marie with CHALDEAS and turn her into the Foreign God, but he didn't anticipate that Lev would just flat out throw her into CHALDEAS. Her transformation into U-Olga Marie is CHALDEAS's attempts to get things back on track, but Da Vinci believes it didn't completely succeed.
  • Spotting the Thread: Kadoc's investigation in Olympus leaves him suspecting this supposed alien might not be one at all, which is eventually confirmed. For specifics:
    • It displays an unusual amount of familiarity with Chaldea, and wanted it gone ASAP before starting her plan. It also approached Kirschtaria and conjured up a Lostbelt tailored to his abilities, indicating both an in-depth knowledge of Animusphere Magecraft and Kirschtaria himself, plus some rudimentary knowledge of Proper Human History. What's more, the title she gave them, "Crypters," was originally Marisbury's name for the A-Team.
    • Even though a mature Tree is all that's needed for incarnation, she went out of her way to conjure up the Lostbelts as well. Furthermore, it needed humans out of the way before the Trees could be planted, so it established the Tabula Rasa and wiped the planet blank, only to bring back humans again. Kadoc concludes it needs humans, or at least local lifeforms, in some unknown manner.
    • The fact that the Crypters were forbidden from investigating it is suspicious by itself. If it were truly alien, then investigating it would be a fool's errand as there would be nothing on Earth about it for the Crypters to find.
  • Strong as They Need to Be:
    • It slaughtered humanity from outer space and wiped the entire planet blank, but it can't actually interfere with events happening in the Lostbelts, forcing it to rely on the Crypters and its Apostles. When Kirschtaria openly betrays it by putting the Titan Altas within his Tree to prevent the God's descension, all it can do is revoke his revival. Kadoc guesses this discrepancy may hint at a potential weakness. This is because the bleaching was done by CHALDEAS using basic Substitution Magecraft, and it requires the Crypters and Disciples to act as its hands in more delicate situations.
    • Played for laughs in Lostbelt No. 7 when she becomes a soccer player. Chaldea is lead to believe she's an ace when she wins her first match against another team 100-0 offscreen... then when they actually play together they find out she's a total klutz with Rasputin commenting she's too uncoordinated for Earth sports. How she won her first game so one-sidedly is never explained afterwards.
  • Super-Speed: Tachyon Jail, one of her seven Super Authorities, speeds herself up so fast that from her perspective time has stopped.
  • Take Over the World: One of her goals is the complete and utter domination of Earth as one nation under her rule and she declares herself to be the new Sovereign of Earth.
  • Tragic Heroine: When her human personality surfaces and she wants to do good for humanity, ultimately it ends in her being used, manipulated into sacrificing herself, and being brought back as a soulless destroyer full of silent rage.
  • Tragic Villain: To the extent that she was only ever villainous thanks to CHALDEAS being the one in control. She is Olga Marie, after all.
  • Unstoppable Rage: U-Olga completely snaps when the Nemo Marine she grew close to is held hostage and murdered by Izcalli, unleashing a blast that completely vaporizes all of his minions into ash.
  • Unusual Eyebrows: Her eyebrows have changed to a lightning-bolt shape.
  • Unwitting Pawn: At the end of the day, Olga as the Foreign God was a cataclysmically powerful body double (or "vessel" according to both Da Vinci and the Count) for the true mastermind, the Foreign World CHALDEAS, who is referred to by Daybit as the Foreign God's true identity/form. Kotomine states that Olga was intended to be the overseer and head of CHALDEAS's Disciples while also serving as a physical decoy to draw attention away from it, all of which she was blissfully unaware of until her death.
    • The From Lostbelt adaptation of events gives her some major Adaptational Intelligence and strongly suggests that she figured all of this out but kept on trucking regardless to defend her friends and the world from ORT and destroy it personally.
  • Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Subverted. When she intitally manifests at the end of the Olympus Lostbelt, her Saint Graph output is identified as being Third Planetary Class which makes her only somewhat weaker then Goetia. By the time Chaldea gets to the South American Lostbelt though, she's gone up to Stellar Class. The same classification given to heartless-ORT and Sefar.
  • Walking Spoiler: The true identity of this Beast completely re-contextualizes everything about the Foreign God, the Lostbelts, the second story arc as a whole, even as far back as the very beginning of the game with the fate of Olga Marie. Then everything the audience knows about is once again turned upside down by revelations in Lostbelt No. 7 that she's actually Subject E and was meant to be a vessel for the Foreign World CHALDEAS, bringing up how much of the "Foreign God's" actions before her incarnation in Olympus was actually U-Olga Marie or the Foreign World, assuming the Foreign World wasn't in direct control of her body itself.
  • We Can Rebuild Him: It's brought up by the Chaldean that it's possible to restore her shattered Saint Graph after her Heroic Sacrifice against ORT albeit likely as an Empty Shell. Kirei comments that if it were up to him then he'd let her rest but The Count is most likely gonna attempt to put her back together, creating the E-Olga Maries.
  • When Trees Attack: This was supposed to be the case, as the Trees were intended to serve as its vessel upon maturation. For reasons unknown to everyone including herself, she's taken the form of a human.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Despite all her power and bravado, she's terrified of reptiles.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Her becoming the vessel of the Foreign God was completely out of her control. If only Flauros hadn't tossed her into CHALDEAS...
  • The Worf Effect: After being portrayed as a borderline invincible force throughout the second half of Cosmos in the Lostbelt, the start of Lostbelt 7 has her getting swat down like a fly against Kukulkan and proving to be just as helpless against ORT as Chaldea is, albeit she would likely have done far better against ORT (even if she would have lost anyway) had she more than 4% of her true strength.
  • Worf Had the Flu: During the events of Lostbelt 7, she joins up with Chaldea and becomes an ally with them thanks to a case of amnesia from getting knocked out of the sky by Kukulkan and having her heart ripped out by Tezcatlipoca. Her powers are noticeably a lot weaker, struggling against enemies that she normally wouldn't have much problems with; when left alone to ponder her thoughts, she states that she barely has 4% of her original strength left. At 100%, invokedWord of God has said she was strong enough to assimilate the sleeping Lostbelt ORT as planned, meaning that if Kukulkan and Tezcatlipoca hadn't staged their respective interventions, U-Olga would've ended Chaldea right in the Lostbelt's prologue. This is the reason for the Count creating the Elemental Olga derivatives, stating that she didn't even get to show a fifth of her true power and letting her go out the way she did would be downright sacrilegious.
  • Wrong Context Magic: Abigail mentions in her Interlude that even she, a master of space and time through the powers of an Outer God, wouldn't be able to enter the Lostbelts made by the Trees of Emptiness.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Once she fully manifests in Olympus, she decides to begin her rule by sweeping away Chaldea, the Crypters, the remaining Lostbelts, and even her loyal Apostles. Only Kirschtaria's last-ditch attack convinces her to back off and prepare a little more thoroughly.

E-Olga Marie

The Lostbits of a God

"Now that the god vessel has lost her soul, I shall conduct her to the stage of my play as an Avenger Ex Machina. You know what this is called. An encore. A return to the spotlight, if you will." - Count Alessandro di Cagliostro

An Apostle of the Foreign God, the Count (Alessandro di Cagliostro), saw an opportunity in U-Olga Marie's end at the 7th Lostbelt, believing that letting her die like that would be a tremendous waste of her potential, gathering what was left of her energy to create four new variants as E-Olga Marie, each variant of which forms a Presidential Singularity.

They are the main and final antagonists of each Presidential Singularity that comprises the Olga Marie Quests and, according to the Count, will only continue to grow in power and abilities until even he will have no idea what the final Olga is capable of.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Like with the original U-Olga, their nature as Beast VII is called into question during their boss fights, with their Beast Class icon once again having no corresponding dots lit up.
  • Antagonist Title: The Olga Marie Quests feature these four elemental Olga Marie incarnations of the "Sovereign of Earth" as the leading villains.
  • Bait-and-Switch: The story implied that they would be empty puppets made then controlled by the Count which is seemingly confirmed by him setting Flare on the offensive until it's later revealed that she and the other incarnations are completely in charge and controlled by no one. All he was doing was "conducting (them) to the stage" in his own words. They may be new incarnations… but they are still ultimately the Foreign God, except now even more dangerous due to being divided into four. Aqua also confirms that she has all the memories of her past lives, essentially making these elements U-Olga's second bid for complete and total domination.
  • Battle Theme Music: Each variant has her own unique boss music.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: Both Aqua and Cagliostro himself confirm that all he did was divide Olga into four separate entities and set them to activate, meaning he is not controlling any of them and is simply letting them pursue their own agendas. Each incarnation also has her own reason for working independently of her other selves.
  • Body Motifs: Parodied: Aqua Marie mocks the Protagonist's way of thinking by rejecting the possibility that each E-Olga is made from different parts of the original Olga (Flare is the head, Aqua is the arms, the remaining two are torso and legs) immediately as she brings it up. Ironically, this is reflected in Flare and Aqua's card arts, with Flare's focused on her head and Aqua's focused on her hand.
  • Boss Subtitles: The Olga elementals have a unique intro screen with their name exploding into view in huge letters.
  • Came Back Wrong: All Elemental incarnations of Olga are outright villains as none of them possess the soul of their past self.
  • Classical Elements Ensemble: The Count fashioned the four around each of the classical elements, with the first representing fire, and the other three representing earth, water, and air yet to be discovered. The "E" in their names unsurprisingly stands for "Element".
  • Degraded Boss: Of a sort. They're weaker versions of U-Olga Marie, or at least Flare is. That being said, they are much more durable to compensate due to U-Olga Marie requiring two Break Bars to be broken in contrast to them having four Break Bars, though that may be due to the fight ending abruptly before taking out her remaining Break Bars. The Count is hoping to subvert this trope with the later Elementals, stating the final one will be completely unbeatable.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: The first three are actually unnerved by the power and wickedness of the final one, and she allegedly represents Olga's joyous emotions. Aqua straight up refers to her as a "horrible monster."
  • Final Boss: Flare Marie serves as the last and greatest opponent of the first "Presidential Singularity" that Chaldea encounters, while Aqua Marie lords over the second one.
  • Foreshadowing: Cagliostro most likely addresses the four of them directly when using second person pronouns as he activates them all, hinting at The Reveal that they are fully sentient and in complete control of themselves.
    Count: "You know what this is called. An encore. A return to the spotlight, if you will."
  • Gravity Master: All of them, presumably, but Flare Marie in particular demonstrates this skill with extreme prejudice before she is even shown in person.
  • The Heavy: The Count may have brought the Olga variants to life, but he maintains that Olga herself is the true star of the show, not himself. Indeed, each Elemental is your ultimate enemy for each Presidential Singularity. Going by the battle against Cagliostro, all of Olga's variants are far more powerful than his One-Winged Angel form and do not need to follow orders from him or even CHALDEAS, instead pursuing their own agendas.
    Count: "No, no, no, no. I certainly do not mind the unenlightened masses telling their tales of my mysteries — But the star of today's show is her. Or did you think I’d be shameless enough to take the stage when all I did was mold a vessel and awaken it?"
  • Horns of Villainy: They still maintain these as carried over from U-Olga, but each Element has differently shaped horns.
  • It Can Think: All of them are fully sentient with their own personalities.
  • Leitmotif: "Advent", the theme of U-Olga, comes roaring back in with a vengeance whenever one of these variants presents herself.
  • Literal Split Personality: Each one represents a different emotion of the original Olga Marie, and all memories associated with them.
  • Load-Bearing Boss: The Presidential Singularities cannot exist without the E-Olga variants. The burning version of Olympus, for example, perishes once Flare E-Olga loses her physical form.
  • Not Brainwashed: Cagliostro implies (and Aqua later confirms) that he did nothing to control or puppeteer any of the incarnations, instead setting them loose and allowing them to pursue their own goals.
  • Not Quite Dead: This applies to all versions of Olga in general, but even after destroying their physical forms, Flare and Aqua Marie respectively leave behind a Fire and Water U-Piece, indicating it will take more than that to truly destroy them.
  • Pieces of God: The elemental Olgas, of course, but there are also elemental "U-Pieces" that Chadea gains as they beat each one.
  • Red Baron: They are collectively referred to as "The Lostbits of a God" - a rather appropriate term.
  • Sensual Spandex: Just like U-Olga Marie. Being allegedly soulless doesn't mean they should be any less fashionable than their past incarnation.
  • Sequential Boss: With each break bar that the heroes manage to shatter, Flare increases her power and heat until she's burning like the Sun. While for Aqua, the weather changes from rain to a storm that causes several waterspouts to manifest.
  • Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Invoked by the Count, who wants each Olga variant to be more powerful and dangerous than the one before. Each one fought is less sympathetic to humanity than the previous one, with the last one being a monster even the other Elements don't want to be around.
    Count: "The first one is designed for an impactful initial meeting, and a reasonable level of challenge. The second one is designed with the savagery to surpass a Chaldea fully prepared for the battle. The third one presents an overwhelming shock, one subverting all of your preconceived expectations. And the fourth and final one will be beyond my ability to predict, fine-tuned to be an enemy impossible to defeat."
  • Superboss: They are fought at the end of Multi-Party Special Battles where you have to fight 10 waves of enemies in a single run, with a reduced party size of 3 per wave, and no duplicate Servants or Craft Essences are allowed, and party revives cannot be used for them. As such, succeeding in them requires intense amounts of grinding and planning if one were to fight them. Successfully defeating them grants players a Polar Star Torch, a Holy Grail, and a U-Piece that so far serves no purpose, although the name is a clear indication of what it will be useful for in the future.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: They're basically the elemental Irisviels from the "Fate/Accel Zero Order" event.
  • Synchronization: All Elements share emotions and sensations, allowing them to know when one of them is defeated.
  • Walking Spoiler: Flare E-Olga is the first sign of U-Olga's return to prominence since her Heroic Sacrifice against ORT, not to mention she serves as an introduction to the Count's experiments, so naturally she and all of the future variants are this.
  • We Can Rebuild Him: The very reason for their existence, what with the Count being outraged at the thought of leaving U-Olga for dead when she never even got to display a fifth of her true power and potential.
  • World's Strongest Woman: The Count's plan for the final Olga variant is to make her completely impossible to predict (even for himself) or defeat, even for a fully-prepared Chaldea throwing absolutely everything they've got at her.


E-Flare Marie

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flareolgafa.png
Element of Sorrow

"—" (menacing silence)

E-Flare Marie, also known as Flare E-Olga, is the first of these variants and the main antagonist of the Olympus Presidential Singularity. She leaves behind a mysterious U-Piece (Fire) after the heroes manage to disperse her. She represents Olga Marie's sadness.
  • Arc Villain: Creator of the Olympus Presidential Singularity and therefore the first gauntlet.
  • Battle Intro: Flare Marie's intro shows a fiery explosion expanding outward and her shadow looming up in the background as huge letters reveal her name before it fades to reveal her standing on the actual battlefield.
  • Battle Theme Music: She has a unique (and currently unnamed) one which her previous incarnation did not receive.
  • Brought Down to Badass: Flare is meant to be the easiest variant to overcome, and yet according to Da Vinci it still took everything Chaldea had just to barely stop her.
  • The Comically Serious: Flare's Death Glare when the protagonist calls her "Mysterious Olga Marie X" just screams this.
  • Death Glare: Flare's default expression, and she is every bit as good at it as her previous incarnations. She looks even more pissed when the Player refers to her as Mysterious Olga X, indicating that part of the original Olga's personality is still within her.
  • Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Flare does not have the bright orange-gold diamond pupils that U-Olga possessed.
  • The Eeyore: Flare's dull demeanor is because she can only feel sadness.
  • Evil Is Burning Hot: Flare Marie increases the power of her heat to at least 5772K.
  • Gravity Master: All of them, presumably, but Flare Marie demonstrates this skill with extreme prejudice by causing immense gravitational fluctuations just through her presence alone, dragging the heroes in every direction imaginable at the same time, and nearly crushing everything and everyone in a 1 kilometer radius before they get anywhere near her.
  • Playing with Fire: Flare E-Olga, as indicated by her title, has fire-related powers and in-game, she has several skills related to whether she has a Burn debuff on her or not.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: Red, black, and white are her main colors and she’s a soulless destructive variant of U-Olga, albeit an incomplete fragment.
  • Red Baron: "The Lostbit of Fire", "Element of Sorrow", and "Perma-Heat Lostbelt Element".
  • Red Right Hand: Her right horn is in pieces that float around the main segment.
  • Sorting Algorithm of Evil: She presents the most reasonable challenge out of her fellow incarnations because she is the weakest and is barely awake, and the one most sympathetic to Chaldea. The ones after her are both stronger and more willing to go all out.
  • Starter Villain: How she is described by Cagliostro, being the first and most "reasonable" challenge level compared to her other incarnations, though she should not be taken lightly at all just because of that.
  • The Voiceless: Flare Marie is entirely silent, emphasizing her (apparent) mechanical lack of personality. The truth is that she is not lacking in personality. According to Aqua, Flare had just woke up and hadn't regained her ability to speak.
  • Warmup Boss: The Count sees Flare as this compared to her future Elemental variants, stating that she is meant to give Chaldea a surprise reveal and initial challenge, with each Olga variant being progressively more difficult and complex. She still overwhelms them and it takes everything they have just to barely beat her. The Count suspects that her final variant will be impossible for Chaldea to overcome or for him to predict in terms of powers and behavior.
  • Worf Had the Flu: The only reason Chaldea had any chance of beating Flare E-Olga in a straight fight was because she was only a fragment of the real U-Olga's full potential - the weakest fragment, according to the Count, and even then Chaldea only barely succeeded. Plus, she didn't even seem fully formed compared to Aqua after her, given that her right horn was in several floating pieces and she had not regained her ability to speak yet.


E-Aqua Marie

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aquaolgafa.png
Element of Solace

E-Aqua Marie, also known as Water E-Olga, is the second one of the E-Olga variants to appear and creator of the Bermuda Triangle Presidential Singularity. She represents Olga Marie's comfort and of the four Elements her personality most closely matches the original U-Olga Marie.
  • Actually a Doombot: She can create and talk through her very own Body Double.
  • Affably Evil: Not only is she polite even in the heat of battle, she can be downright chatty with her so-called enemies, even while hurling the entire Storm Border into the heart of a monumental raging tempest.
  • Arc Villain: A much more obvious version of this than Flare, she takes the stage in the Bermuda Triangle Presidential Singularity.
  • Badass Adorable: She may be more powerful and menacing than ever before… but she is still Olga, and therefore, a massive dork.
  • Badass Boast: She gets several of these, but one which sticks out in particular is her getting fed up with holding back and threatening to boil the entire Bleached Earth so she can use it as her own personal planet-sized hot tub.
  • Battle Intro: Aqua's intro features a shimmering watery explosion that expands and swirls outward like a vortex before giant letters reveal her name and title as her shadow looms up in the background like Flare's did, then it fades to show her standing on the ocean as her battlefield of choice.
  • Battle Theme Music: Her theme is a far more intense version of Flare's, having more hard-hitting instruments and giving the appropriate feel of fighting an insurmountable foe in the middle of a raging hurricane.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She is far kinder and fairer than her next two variants, but do not mistake her for a pushover in combat, because she will really make you regret it. There is a reason why Cagliostro warned Chaldea of her savagery being enough for her to surpass all of the Master's forces combined, even fully prepared.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: She hands out badges like candy to those she likes, retains the silly nature of her past incarnation U-Olga… and has the power to boil the entire planet just so she can use it as "bath-time for God."
  • Blasphemous Boast: Make no mistake, she is a Goddess, and by far one of the most powerful ones in the franchise, but she tends to call herself God with a capital G even though she is not quite omnipotent.
  • Blood Knight: Do not mistake her comforting presence for a complete lack of bloodlust. This goddess craves an unforgettable battle with a Worthy Opponent.
  • Body Double: She uses one to infiltrate the Storm Border, "only" having the energy signature of a single Servant.
  • Bring It: She commends Chaldea for daring to take a god of her caliber on, even with all their combined power and skill, and challenges them to show her the strength that allowed them to overcome Flare before her.
  • Cool and Unusual Punishment: She threatens to force the Master to power up the Storm Border for her should she successfully usurp command… by having them run continuously on a giant hamster wheel for as long as she sees fit.
  • Combat Sadomasochist: She cackles maniacally every time someone lands a successful attack on her.
  • Evil Laugh: Belts out a magnificent one just like her past incarnation, U-Olga.
  • Face Death with Dignity: It's hard to call her fate "death", but she takes her ultimate loss and reverting back to her initial Water U-Piece core extremely well, all things considered.
  • Fair-Play Villain: The badges she distributes are, in her own words, a proof of fairness by offering a handicap to a loathed enemy. She also decides the Storm Border should go to the victor of their fight, and offers the Pretender Class Score as a wager when Chaldea protests the Storm Border is theirs to begin with.
  • Friendly Enemy: She is much more personable than Flare was, though this may be due to the fact that Flare had not yet regained the power of speech.
  • Giant Wall of Watery Doom: One of her favorite attacks involves her summoning a massive tidal wave that covers the screen and crashes down on the Master's entire party.
  • Go Out with a Smile: She gives a downright encouraging smile as she dissipates into particles, reverting to her Water U-Piece form, though she is likely fully aware that this is not truly the end for her, plus she explains that she is simply returning to "Planet President".
  • Graceful Loser: See her Villain's Dying Grace moment.
  • I Am Not Left-Handed: Only during her final break bar is she actually putting in maximum effort. Before that, she was essentially toying with everyone, even cackling with every strike that successfully lands on her.
  • Kill It with Water: She attempts to wash everyone away repeatedly with several tsunamis.
  • Laughably Evil: She may be hyped up by Cagliostro as far more powerful than Flare, but she is every bit as silly and hysterical as U-Olga was.
    Aqua Marie: "Tsk... That's it... I'll boil all the seawater on this planet and turn it into a natural hot spring! Your god is going for a bath!"
  • Making a Splash: Aqua Marie has water based powers, her battle field shows that she can control the weather as she makes it rain a storm powerful to create humongous waterspouts.
  • Pet the Dog: Handing out badges to everyone on the ship and promising to spare enough crew members to serve her in her takeover of the Storm Border certainly counts, as does her giving the heroes information on her other selves as a reward for overcoming her.
  • Red Baron: "The Lostbit of Water", "Element of Solace", and "Nontidal Lostbelt Element".
  • Slasher Smile: A rather terrifying one as shown in her official artwork above, which serves as an excellent demonstration of her Blood Knight status. The Count wasn't kidding when he spoke of her savagery.
  • Sorting Algorithm of Evil: She certainly does have the savagery to surpass all of Chaldea even when they're fully prepared for the battle, though they miraculously manage to scrape by.
  • Sore Loser: Actually subverted. Her losing quote indicates she is none too thrilled about the tide eventually turning against her, but after she takes a moment to settle down, she is downright impressed with her now-former foes.
  • Stealth Hi/Bye: Cerejeira and Goredolf are doing their own thing at separate points only to find her just standing right there inside the Storm Border with them as she strikes up an amicable conversation with them like they're her best friends. It's both absolutely hysterical and extremely unnerving.
  • Suddenly Shouting: When you deplete her second health bar.
    Aqua Marie: "Interesting! But no matter how interesting, I didn't ask for it! You don't know when to drop dead, do you?!"
  • Villain's Dying Grace: She lingers for an extra three minutes to give Chaldea information as a prize for beating her. While she admits she doesn't know anything useful due to Olga Marie doing nothing important while feeling comfort, she does tell them about the remaining Elements and their personalities.
  • Villain Respect: She already respects the Master and their crew before she even engages them in combat because she recognizes they were able to stop her Flare counterpart.
  • Waterfront Boss Battle: You duel with her atop the ocean itself, which morphs and darkens as she summons the power of the storm.
  • Weather Manipulation: The horrifically massive and overwhelming storm and the destructive waterspouts that increase in size and intensity all do so at her command.
  • We Will Meet Again: Before she disappears in a flash of light, she promises that, should they see each other again, she will absolutely win their next match.
  • Why Won't You Die?: She is legitimately annoyed by the time Chaldea depletes her second health bar and chastises them for not knowing when to drop dead. This attitude goes away after the fight.
  • Willfully Weak: She holds back much of her true power until you have her down to her final health bar, and she also gives you badges as "handicaps" beforehand that heavily boost your abilities and increase resistance to her attacks so she doesn't insta-kill everyone, as she wants you to have as fair of a chance at winning as possible. It also explains why she is still so confident about a rematch ending in her victory, should she ever have another battle with Chaldea…
  • Worthy Opponent: She has come to see Chaldea as this before she even starts her climactic duel against them, thanks to them having already overcome Flare some time before meeting Aqua.

E-Olga Marie of Rage

The upcoming main antagonist of the third Presidential Singularity, she is described by Aqua as the embodiment of the original Olga's anger and has a visceral hatred for humanity as a whole. Aqua advises Novum Chaldea to tackle her next before moving onto the final E-Olga, who represents "joy."


  • The Dreaded: Aqua describes her as pure rage embodied and warns Chaldea to be as prepared as possible for her oncoming assault, because she will be gunning for them very soon.
  • The Ghost: No sign of her yet, though given how the Master and crew just got through dealing with her predecessor, this is likely in their best interests.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Aqua states that unlike herself, this E-Olga has no love at all for the Human Order or the world due to representing Olga Marie's anger, and that Chaldea will have to face her no matter what because she won't be content in letting things be and will act on that anger if given the chance. Ironically, this makes her not only the first Beast-class enemy to hold no love for humanity whatsoever, but also the living antithesis of the Animusphere Family's Grand Order and her very existence should logically throw a massive wrench into the schemes of CHALDEAS, though admittedly the other three are actually very much the same in that last regard.
  • The Power of Hate: Aqua states that this E-Olga's "Rage" is based in Olga Marie's own feelings of hatred, and consequently is the second-strongest of the four.
  • Red Baron: "Element of Rage."
  • Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Due to The Power of Hate, she eclipses even Aqua Marie's might.

E-Olga Marie of Joy

The upcoming main antagonist of the final Presidential Singularity and by far the most powerful incarnation of E-Olga Marie. She is considered to be a horrifying and truly unbeatable entity both by Cagliostro and even Olga's other incarnations to the point where they all want nothing to do with her. Amusingly, she is the embodiment of Olga Marie's "happiness."


  • The Dreaded: When one of your own fragments describes you as the absolute worst and most powerful one of them all and urges Chaldea to avoid you at all costs for as long as possible, you know you're this trope in spades.
  • Eviler than Thou: To every Olga incarnation before her, to the point where none of her other fragments want to be anywhere near her. This includes the incarnation who is supposed to represent Olga's anger, a usual shoe-in for the title of "evilest version".
  • Final Boss: Set up as the last and most dangerous incarnation that Olga Marie has ever been.
  • The Ghost: As she will presumably be shown last of all, she has not put in a personal appearance yet.
  • Irony: The most powerful and apparently most evil version of the E-Olgas is the one who represents "Happiness", aka an otherwise positive emotion.
  • "It" Is Dehumanizing: The translation has Aqua advise Chaldea to avoid "it" at all costs, considering the incarnation of Happiness to be a horrible monster that everyone should do their best to steer clear of, including her fellow incarnations.
  • Red Baron: "Element of Joy".
  • Sorting Algorithm of Evil: She is the very apex of the algorithm, meaning she is far and away the most powerful and menacing foe of the Presidential Singularities.
  • World's Strongest Woman: Cagliostro stated that he fine-tuned her to be truly impossible to predict, let alone defeat, implying he was aiming for this trope specifically, perhaps even wanting to forge her into the most powerful being in the universe, bar none. Time will tell how true this turns out to be.

    Beast of Collapse 

Daji

The Millennium Fox who is known for being the original form of the Golden White Face. Daji was the favorite concubine of King Zhou of Shang sent by the goddess Nuwa to bring the end to the Yin dynasty. But instead, she ended up corrupting the king to bring ruin to China as she revealed herself to be an Evil of Humanity, the Beast of Collapse. She was finally captured and executed by the Taoist sage Taigong Wang. This would inspire Koyanskaya to begin her own journey towards becoming a fox-like Beast.


  • Adaptational Abomination: Daji was definitely a monster in the original mythos, but Fate promotes her villainy to be on the same scale as the Beasts.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Daji's moniker of "Golden White Face" indicates that she is the Japanese solar goddess Amaterasu — who was said in Fate/EXTRA CCC to have had the potential to become a Beast — or an avatar thereof. Tamamo-no-Mae, who is the only known confirmed avatar of Amaterasu, vehemently denies any connection to Daji, but Tamamo Cat, who is one of the Tamamo Nine, disagrees and bluntly admits that she was indeed Daji. Whether Daji is a separate avatar of Amaterasu or — as Tamamo insists — a completely unrelated fox-spirit is ultimately left unclear, although there's no chronologically possible alternatives since Mizukume (Tamamo's original name) has an established date of birth. There's also the fact that Taigong Wang, who fought and defeated Daji, explicitly mentions that Koyanskaya, who modeled her physical appearance after the Fair-faced Golden Fox and resembles Tamamo, looks just like Daji as well.
  • Ancient Evil: Daji was the Beast of Collapse and terrorized China 3000 years in the past, before being defeated by the Taoist sage and master tactician Taigong Wang. According to Tamamo-no-Mae's origin story, Daji was said to have escaped to India and later returned to China, leaving destruction and chaos in her wake, though Taigong Wang reveals she was in fact killed—which raises the question of who or what attacked India and China in her name.
  • Asian Fox Spirit: Golden White Face, aka Daji, is a malicious nine-tailed fox-spirit — or rather, (the avatar of) a deity in the form of a nine-tailed fox — that is said to have terrorized China (twice-over) and India 3000 years in the past.
  • Ax-Crazy: According to Taigong Wang, Daji was a selfish and sadistic sociopath who delighted in slaughter and torture, and would amuse herself by coming up with new ways of inflicting suffering.
  • Beauty Is Bad: Even Taigong Wang, who considers himself an expert on appreciating a woman's beauty, was mesmerized by Daji when he first saw her, and he knew her true nature as a malevolent fox spirit he would have to stop from the very start.
  • Composite Character: Like Caster Tamamo, she is a combination of a famous nine-tailed fox-spirit and the Japanese solar goddess Amaterasu.
  • Decomposite Character: In the Japanese folktales related to Tamamo-no-Mae, she is the same fox-spirit that terrorized China as Daji from the Fengshen Yanyi. In Fate, Tamamo is an avatar of the Shinto sun-goddess Amaterasu, who in Fate/EXTRA CCC is indicated to be the real Daji due to her malevolent nature and being called the Golden White Face. Fate/Grand Order implies that Daji was actually a separate avatar of Amaterasu, hence her being identical to and having the same powers as Tamamo, while allowing for Daji's death from the Fengshen Yanyi to be retained.
  • Defiant to the End: Even after being captured in the Demon Binder and brought to justice, she kept on thrashing around in the mud, begging for her life to be spared. According to the original myth, she was actually successful at keeping others from finishing her off before Taigong chopped her head off from afar.
  • Dying Curse: As Taigong tells Daji that he will become immortal while she is going to die, Daji tells him that he will live as a damned man until he has scooped up all of the spilled blood from her severed head.
  • Identical Stranger: Tamamo-no-Mae vehemently insists that this is the case regarding herself and Daji, claiming that she was mistaken for and falsely accused of being Daji — who she maintains is a completely different individual who just so happens to be identical to her and possess many of the same powers. However, Tamamo Cat is of the opinion that she and Daji are one and the same and freely admits to it when asked, as they are both avatars of Amaterasu.
  • Jerkass: Her reputation is so bad that she makes Tamamovitch look like a saint, Taigong noted that she is such a gigantic asshole that she wouldn't even help the way Tamamovitch did during the Fae Lostbelt even out of self preservation. Taigong even apologizes to Tamamovitch for calling her Daji, and also goes the extra step of apologizing on behalf of Qin Shi Huang. Due to how bad her reputation is, calling someone Daji is somehow even worse than an insult in their eyes shows just how bad she really is.
  • Literal Split Personality: Like Tamamo no Mae, Daji is a bunrei of the solar goddess Amaterasu, who according to Fate/EXTRA CCC is the original Golden White-Face. Unlike Tamamo, Daji by all accounts stayed true to her original self's monstrous sadism.
  • Posthumous Character: She only appears in Taigong's flashback, but her existence has some ramifications for other characters, mainly Koyanskaya as she’s copying her in the hopes of becoming a Beast. Taigong's flashback shows her beheading, but other Amaterasu-branched fox spirits continued her modus operandi across India, China again as Bao Si, and Japan as Tamamo-no-Mae.
  • Predecessor Villain: Daji was known as the Golden White Face and terrorized China as the Beast of Collapse 3000 years ago, prefigured two other characters with villainous origins implied to be connected to hers:
    • Tamamo-no-Mae (who was originally a bunrei of Amaterasu, the original Golden White Face) claims to have been mistaken for Daji and falsely executed for Daji's crimes, though her shady past, "Harlot Mode", and Tamamo Cat's remarks indicate they're more similar than she wants to admit.
    • Koyanskaya was originally a formless nature spirit before being granted existence by Amaterasu (who Daji is strongly implied to be an avatar of in the same way Tamamo is). Empathizing with Tamamo-no-Mae, she took on an appearance identical to Tamamo's and sought to follow in Daji's pawprints by apotheosizing into a fox-like Beast and becoming the next Golden White Face.
  • Psycho for Hire: She was sent by the Chinese goddess Nüwa to bring about the downfall of the Yin Dynasty, but instead seduced the Emperor and corrupted him into being a tyrant; causing so much death and suffering that she became a Beast-class entity embodying Collapse.
