Chocobo's Dungeon/YMMV


 * Badass Decay:, he is now a whiny Bonus Boss in Chocobo's Dungeon 2.
 * He's much less whiny in Final Fantasy Fables.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: par of the course with Final Fantasy, but still, Fables for Wii features an awesome orchestrated remix of "Battle on the Big Bridge" which is used as a boss battle theme. The title of the remix itself contains a spoiler about who the aforementioned boss is, but still, it's worth listening anyway.
 * I like this remix better, but it's a shame the boss doesn't live up to it.
 * Demonic Spiders: Behemoths in Chocobo's Dungeon 2.
 * Mandras in Fables, having projectiles, sleep, and a respectable amount of HP on top of being rather common enemies. Dragons trade sleep for slow, and can also recover their own status afflictions, but are mainly limited to the deeper floors of the "Guardian" dungeons.
 * Komegas in 2 are an almost literal example. Robot spiders that can shoot through you and hit your partner and are very strong...if you're not up to fighting Bonus Boss Omega, you'll have to get through all of these and pray Omega doesn't show.
 * Goddamned Bats: Lamias in the second game love to confuse you then smack you silly. Vampires can reduce your maximum HP, sometimes permanently.
 * Coeurls in Fables get two actions per turn and have specials to inflict Silence and Halt. Elementals take minimal damage from most attacks, but aren't particularly deadly themselves. Both can be terrors in the "1 HP only" dungeons, though.
 * Narm: Somehow, all the big threats and monologuing antagonists become considerably less impressive when you factor in that they're talking to a chocobo.
 * For example, the speech that the Phoenix boss gives before you fight it is instantly ruined on the first word by saying "Chocobo!..", and then it instantly becomes ridiculous, especially since some human characters at the start of the game are unsure if he can even understand spoken English at first.
 * The voice acting in Fables.
 * Nightmare Fuel: The Grim Reaper as the shopkeeper. Especially when a weaker (though still strong) version of him appeared in RANDOM TREASURE CHESTS!
 * Paranoia Fuel: In the second game, the Grim Reaper can appear in random treasure chests.
 * That One Level: The One Hit Point Wonder dungeons, where you can die from a single attack, but enemies get a chance to dodge.
