Monster Girl Quest/Characters

The characters in Monster Girl Quest. Beware, unmarked spoilers below.

Luka
The protagonist of the series, Luka begins the story in Ilias Village. The Goddess Ilias appears to him in a vision, urging him to become a Hero and slay the Monster Lord in order to drive back the hordes of monsters that plague the world. Despite this, Luka can't help but wonder if humans and monsters might be able to get along...


 * Ancestral Weapon:
 * Artistic Age
 * Art Shift: The game has many different artists, so Luka looks extremely different depending on the CG - he can shift between young boy and ripped 16-year old between scenes, for instance.
 * The Atoner:
 * Awesome but Impractical: Quadruple Giga, the "power to destroy everything", defeats pretty much every monster in a single hit, but takes a long time to charge up and is easily interrupted.
 * Badass
 * Badass Family
 * Badass Normal: A normal kid who, through rigorous training, manages to take on superhumanly powerful monsters and live to tell the tale.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
 * Determinator
 * One-Man Army
 * Took a Level in Badass: Multiple times.
 * Bad Powers, Good People: Uses a Cursed Sword fighting style taught by Alice to enforce peace between humans and monsters.
 * Blade Spam: Ninefold Rakshasa and Death Sword Chaos Star.
 * Blessed with Suck: For the most part it really, really sucks to be attractive to monster girls.
 * Chekhov's Gun: Absolutely everything related to his ancestry is a gigantic bazooka waiting to be fired.
 * Chick Magnet: In a setting where it REALLY sucks to be one of these.
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome
 * Contractual Genre Blindness: The main reason why he didn't realize Alice was the Monster Lord despite overwhelming evidence before The Reveal.
 * Dangerous Forbidden Technique:
 * Dark and Troubled Past:
 * Death From Above: The Demon Skull Beheading Technique.
 * Determinator
 * Elemental Powers: Gained by forging a bond with the spirits.
 * Mr. Fanservice: An in-universe example. Justified since Ilias's baptism is supposed to make people unappealing to monsters, and since Luka missed his baptism...
 * Evil Laugh: His laugh is rather unsettling according to Alice.
 * Evil Weapon: The Angel Halo, given to Luka by Alice. Its name comes from the fact that it is made out of 666 melted angels fused into the shape of a sword.
 * Friend to All Living Things: Less so in chapter 2.
 * Generation Xerox:
 * Good Thing You Can Heal: After lose a battle against Granberia in second chapter, Alice note that Luka's injuries could cripple normal swordman. Taking Luka's healing ability into account, she expect him to fully recover in half month. Turn out that he need only a night.
 * Hard Work Hardly Works, Beginner's Luck: Double subversion. Luka did train for years before his journey, only to learn in his first battle that it's completely useless since unlike training dummy, monsters move around during battle. He won first two battle by swing his sword blindly against slime and throwing salt at slug girl, and has to restart his training under Alice afterward.
 * Healing Factor: He heals at a much, much faster pace than normal humans, recovering from near-lethal injuries inflicted by Granberia in a single night. And he can heal non-lethal injuries within seconds of mediation.
 * Heroic BSOD:
 * Heroic Resolve: Which lets him fully use the power of the earth.
 * H-Game POV Character: Very solid Type I, which is odd, because Type I's usually star in far less rapey games. Then again, Luka is the rapee, not the rapist, and only  are canon. He does dip into Type II in some events, but always recovers with Character Development.
 * Hidden Depths
 * Hot-Blooded: At times.
 * Identical Grandson:
 * Idiot Hero: Luka is smarter than most, but still falls prey to stupidity on occasion. It's implied that he's aware of this, but he keeps acting the part anyway because he feels that it's what he's supposed to be doing.
 * In the Blood: Ilias refers to Luka's bloodline as "tainted".
 * Knight in Sour Armor: Despite his seemingly innocent and naive personality,.
 * Lightning Bruiser
 * Limit Break: When Luka falls asleep, his power increases dramatically and a whole slew of new powers are unlocked. These include Fallen Angel Dance, Heavenly Demon Revival and Ninefold Rakshasa.
 * The second level of Serene Mind makes Luka near untouchable and increases his attack power, but it also rapidly drains his SP.
 * Magic Knight: Thanks to the help of the spirits.
 * Muscles Are Meaningless: Luka's physique varies depending on the artist, but he's still abnormally strong for a person with his build, especially with Gnome's power.
 * The Messiah:
 * Missed the Call: Not that it stopped him.
 * Nigh Invulnerability: With Gnome at full power.
 * No Kill Like Overkill: Of course you only get it at the very end of Part 2.
 * Not So Different: To Lily. Both experienced harsh childhoods but chose to deal with it in completely opposite ways.
 * Orphan's Plot Trinket: His mother's ring. Alice claims she can't detect anything from it except a mother's love, but it keeps being brought up regardless.
 * Rage Against the Heavens:
 * Rage Breaking Point: Upon seeing, he absolutely snaps,.
 * Selectively-Lethal Weapon: The Angel Halo seals monsters rather than killing them. It's mentioned that it can potentially kill depending on the wielder's intention, but this is never demonstrated when it's in Luka's hands.
 * Super Reflexes: While Serene Mind is active.
 * Super Speed: Thanks to Sylph.
 * Supreme Chef
 * Technical Pacifist: He doesn't want to kill any monsters. Even before acquiring Angel Halo, he instead beats monsters into surrendering. There is one notable exception to that:
 * Thou Shall Not Kill: He doesn't kill anyone in first chapter, thanks to Angel Halo's sealing power and monsters running away at the sight of danger.
 * The Unchosen One: Luka manages to miss his baptism, due to both a Slime girl attacking the village and Alice attacking and injuring Ilias badly enough that she couldn't be present. He continues on regardless, although in subsequent visions Ilias still calls him her Chosen One...
 * Unstoppable Rage: Against Lily in chapter one after hearing her excuses for turning to witchcraft, against the Alraunes when they start butchering the defeated insects, and against Lazarus after learning that the latter.
 * Tsundere: Becomes this towards Alice in Part 2.
 * Wall Jump: He can't fly or jump high enough to use Demon Skull Beheading Technique, so he has to rely on environment to perform the move.
 * When All You Have Is a Hammer: Due to Luka's no-killing policy he cannot use anything other than the Angel Halo to combat monsters. Even his elemental attacks are sword strikes.
 * Wide-Eyed Idealist: Although his Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism keep moving.
 * Yin-Yang Bomb: His regular attacks are darkness-themed (since he learned them from Alice), while his moveset as is light-based.

Alice
AKA Alipheese Fateburn 16th. A strange monster that Luka discovers in the forest near Ilias Village. Alice is a unique monster, having traits of many different monster types, though her main body is that of a lamia. Her identity is obvious from the start, but she is later revealed in-game to be the Monster Lord. Her character design is by Kenkou Cross of Monster Girl Encyclopedia fame.


 * A Form You Are Comfortable With: Uses a human disguise in human settlements, unless she's alone with Luka.
 * Asskicking Equals Authority: Monster Lords are determined through tournaments. The winner becomes the Monster Lord, while the strongest remaining contestants become the Heavenly Knights. The powerful Alipheese line has won every tournament so far.
 * The Atoner:
 * Awesome McCoolname: Her actual name is Alipheese Fateburn XVI.
 * Badass Family: See Asskicking Equals Authority.
 * Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Alice apparently had a huge fight with Ilias right before Luka found her. She's not even bruised despite later claiming to have been quite badly injured, though that may be her limited number of sprites in action.
 * Big Bad: Ilias claims she is one. Luka isn't so sure, and there's plenty of evidence to suggest that she really isn't.
 * Big Eater: She really does enjoy her food, to the extent that whenever she expresses an interest in something Luka tells her not to eat it.
 * Bizarre Alien Biology: She has at least three mouths in different parts of her body (apparently feeding into two separate stomachs), and that is just tip of the iceberg.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: The likely result if you ever decide to challenge her.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: Her rogue subordinates pose a far greater threat to humanity than Alice herself.
 * Death Seeker:
 * Defrosting Ice Queen: Although she never really stops calling Luka an idiot or a fake hero.
 * The "fake hero" thing quickly becomes a term of endearment,
 * Epic Fail: Her attempts to cook. Well, it isn't really even an attempt to cook if she annihilates the cooking pot.
 * Expy: Her appearance seem to based on description of the Demon Lord from Kenkou Cross's Monster Girl Encyclopedia. But since the Demon Lord doesn't have artwork yet, it's unknown if she really resembles Alice. Later materials, such as the entry for the lilim, clears this up, referencing that they inherit physical characteristics from Lilith such as white hair and red eyes. While Alice does have white hair in both of her forms, she has Eyes of Gold instead of red. She also has traits of the Echidna race from the same work, both being lamias with the genes of all monster races.
 * She also has quite a lot in common with Horo, especially her snarky, superior personality and endless obsession with good food.
 * Eyes of Gold: She also has a general eye motif.
 * Freudian Excuse: She was raised by Tamamo and had to suffer a lot of teasing from the kitsunes, so she now often bullies them in return.
 * Gorgeous Gorgon
 * Hopeless Boss Fight: Both fights against Alice in part 1 are optional battles that the player has no chance of winning.
 * Kuudere
 * Jerkass Facade
 * Monster Lord: The actual Monster Lord. It's pretty obvious from the very beginning.
 * One-Woman Army: In chapter 2, she kill about hundred chimera beasts at ruin of Remina without single scratch.
 * Redemption Equals Death:
 * Snakes Are Sexy
 * Stepford Snarker
 * Stripperiffic: Even in her human form, she still wears the same dress as in monster form, which is next to nothing.
 * Technical Pacifist: All monsters are her cute subordinates, so she refuses to help Luka fight any of his battles. She's fine with teaching him new skills, though. She does attack other monsters a few times, but she generally has a good excuse when she does..
 * Taking You with Me:
 * Technical Virgin:
 * Verbal Tic: "Hora, hora, hora!" Only while having sex with Luka though. She shares the tic with her Four Knights, although they have their own versions (Tamamo says "hore!" and Granberia says "sore!").
 * When She Smiles: Alice is always a smoking hot sexpot with beauty unmatched among females, but on the very rare occasions that she genuinely smiles you'll be shocked at how outright cute she can be.
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl
 * Woman Scorned: Making Alice angry is a good way to get a bad end.
 * Worf Effect: The Chimera Dryad effortlessly shrugs off an attack from Alice, setting the tone for a painful struggle against That One Boss. Strangely enough, Luka does more damage than her despite the number shown. Perhaps her damage is just empty text after all.
 * Why Did It Have To Be Ghosts
 * You Don't Want to Die a Virgin, Do You?:

Ilias
The central figure of the church, Ilias is an angelic being revered by her worshippers as the goddess who created the world. Ilias's religion is extremely prevalent, especially in the southern continent where Luka grew up. Ilias appears to Luka in a dream, telling him to slay the Monster Lord and therefore marking the beginning of the story.


 * Alas, Poor Villain:.
 * Bad Boss:
 * Big Bad:
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Some see Ilias as one in the main story. In the evaluations one can chose to take if they lose.  You also have three chances to get killed by her before you even fight your first enemy, though there's actually a pretty good explanation for that.
 * Crystal Dragon Jesus
 * Does Not Know Her Own Strength: A single finger poke during the tutorial fight brings Luka down to 1 HP. Asking her to repeat the demonstration results in death.
 * Egopolis: The Ilias Continent has the locations Ilias Village, Illiasport, Iliasburg and Ilias Forest. The Sentora Continent also has the city of San Ilia.
 * Expy:
 * Final Boss: {{spoiler|A surprise one, as you're led to believe that Black Alice (who's swallowed Ilias whole) is the final boss. However, Ilias gains control of Black Alice's remains once she's killed, and uses them to empower herself.
 * Sequential Boss: {{spoiler|She has two different stages. She first fights with her usual appearance and only using pleasure attacks. She then transforms using White Rabbit, becoming an enormous chimeric abomination.}}
 * Marathon Boss: {{spoiler|Her final form has a colossal 600,000 HP. Luka's and Alice's strongest attacks combined will only shave off a few pixels of her life bar. Mitigated by the fact that as the battle progresses, Luka's allies join the battle, pitching in to do significant hits to her while taking hits from her attacks, but with the accompanying in-battle dialogue the fight will take much longer than the previous fights.}}
 * God Is Evil: {{spoiler|Although this wasn't always the case. She spent an incredibly long time alone, unable to interact with the only other person around (Alice 1, due to the then-incompatibility of holy and dark energy). That would be hard on anyone's psyche.}}
 * Have a Nice Death: Narrates the post-battle advice sections.
 * It's All About Me: Has some SERIOUS ego issues. There are three chances for her to kill Luka before his first fight—two of those happen just because he ignored her.
 * Kill'Em All: {{spoiler|Teams up with the 8th Monster Lord to wipe the slate clean and start the world over, as she feels that humanity is too ungrateful for what she has done for them, culminating in her Chosen One essentially telling her to go fuck herself. Given that "what she has done for them" apparently includes slaughtering them by the thousands, thus throwing humans into war with monsters, humanity may have good reason to be ungrateful.}}
 * Kryptonite Factor: Being baptized by Ilias carries the chief benefit of making a person totally unappealing to monsters.
 * Light Is Not Good: Definitely not.
 * Secret Test of Character: {{spoiler|She views humanity as just as corrupt as monsters and chose the innocent Luka to embark on a quest to redeem humanity in her eyes. Needless to say, he failed.}}
 * Slasher Smile: She sports an absolutely terrifying one when {{spoiler|Luka rebels against her.}}
 * Terrible Trio: {{spoiler|With Black Alice and Promesthein.}}
 * Unreliable Narrator: She claims that she created the entire world and everything on it, including monsters. The planet formed from completely mundane processes and monsters were created by Alice 1.
 * Vicious Cycle: Ilias's commandment that humans are forbidden from having sex with monsters has resulted in a particularly nasty one, forcing many monsters to attack human settlements in order to stop themselves going extinct.
 * Villain's Dying Grace: {{spoiler| Uses her the last of her power to reverse Luka's holy energy erosion, in her own words finally performing an act befitting a Goddess before congratulating him for saving the world and referring to him as a true hero}}.
 * What the Hell, Player?: "Stop losing on purpose to watch the sex scenes!"
 * Winged Humanoid
 * Xanatos Gambit: {{spoiler|She anticipates that Black Alice will betray her and lets the latter consume her. She plans for Luka to defeat Black Alice afterwards to release her, so that she can attain a body containing both holy and dark power and become the ultimate being.}}
 * Yin Yang Bomb: {{spoiler|Her final form arises from a mixture of the first Monster Lord's genes interacting with her holy power.}}

Eden
One of Ilias' loyal angels, and the leader of the entire angel army. Was formerly third best among the seraphs before her predecessors, Micaela and Lucifina, became fallen angels. As such, she has a sore spot when referred to as "The Third".


 * Berserk Button: She really, really doesn't like being called the "third", as it reminds of her inferiority to Micaela and Lucifina.
 * Meaningful Name: She's named for the Biblical garden, and can transform her body into one.
 * One-Winged Angel: For her boss battle, she transforms into a garden sitting on top of a mountain of red serpents.
 * Undying Loyalty: To Ilias..

Micaela
The first seraph created by Ilias, and an expert strategist due to her long experience in commanding the army of angels.


 * Chekhov's Gunman:
 * Fallen Angel
 * Punny Name: Based on Archangel Michael.
 * Ms. Exposition: Tells Luka of the history between Ilias and the Monster Lords, the true identity of his mother, and explains

Lucifina
The second seraph created by Ilias.


 * Counter Attack: Her signature move, Daystar,.
 * Fallen Angel: The very first one.
 * Punny Name: The universe's version of Archangel Lucifer.
 * Posthumous Character: She died while Luka was still a young child, and her death greatly shaped his personality.

Promestein
A mysterious woman wearing scientist's lab coat who appears and leaves multiple time during the haunthouse and witch hunt quests. She's actually an angel who engineers incredibly powerful chimera monsters to strengthen Ilias's army, and even creates artificial copies of the Elemental Spirits to empower various monsters.


 * Creating Life: She created the Chimeras as half-machine anti-monster weapons, including ones tailor-made against the four knights.
 * The Dragon: To Ilias.
 * Evil Counterpart:
 * One-Winged Angel:
 * Portmanteau Name: Prometheus and Frankenstein.
 * Meaningful Name: Much like the original Prometheus, Promestein first introduced fire to mankind and was punished accordingly.
 * Humans Are Special: Admires the human race for their thirst for knowledge and desire for growth, She also has high hopes for mankind, wishing for them to take up her search for knowledge and eventually reach greater heights with it than she managed.
 * Science Is Bad:
 * The Starscream:

The Four Heavenly Knights
The four chief vassals who serve the Monster Lord. Each is the most powerful member of their respective species and are responsible for carrying out the Monster Lord's will.

Granberia
The Knight of Fire, Granberia belongs to the Dragon species. Luka first meets Granberia in Iliasburg where she attempts to conquer the city, and would have easily done so singlehandedly had Alice not stopped her.


 * Badass
 * Badass Adorable: When she's blushing or wearing ordinary clothes.
 * BFS: A colossal one named Ares.
 * Blood Knight
 * Can't Catch Up: Becomes stronger linearly, while Luka grows exponentially.
 * The Dragon: Figuratively and literally.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: Just ask Sara.
 * Hot-Blooded
 * Little Miss Badass: When she tells Luka, she mastered the Serene Mind technique 20 years ago, he thinks it's a case of her being Really 700 Years Old. She reveals she was 5 at that point.
 * Master Swordswoman
 * Mirror Match: In the final battle against her, Granberia uses the same moves as Luka. Justified since they're techniques used by monster champions, so Granberia has studied them as well.
 * One-Man Army: Easily took out the garrisons of both Iliasburg and San Ilia singlehandedly without breaking a sweat.
 * Our Dragons Are Different
 * Playing with Fire: She can set her sword on fire with magic.
 * Elemental Powers: Although fire is her primary element, she can use other three as well.
 * Recurring Boss: You fight her more times than any other enemy.
 * Puzzle Boss: And each time, even in the Monster Lord's Castle, you have to progress the fight by demonstrating to her various recently-acquired skills.
 * Tsundere: Her character traits seem to be largely based on the Dragon race from the Monster Girl Encyclopedia. As such, she starts to fall for Luka as he grows stronger in the sequel.
 * Technical Virgin: While Alma-Elma claims to have taken Granberia's virginity with her finger, there's no evidence whatsoever that Granberia ever did anything more sexual than being fingered by the succubus queen. In her later game over scene, where she has sex with Luka even mentions that it's her first time doing it.
 * Worf Effect:
 * Worthy Opponent: Often laments that there are so few strong warriors to face her in battle. She considers Luka to be one because he didn't run away despite being so much weaker than her.
 * Younger Than They Look: She's 25.

Tamamo
The Knight of Earth, Tamamo is a nine-tailed Kitsune. She is first encountered after she retrieves Poseidon's Bell from a treasure cave, but offers it to Luka after hearing about how he rescued one of her subordinates.


 * Anti-Magic: Aqua Canceller, Wind Canceller and Fire Canceller, removing the effect of Luka's summoned spirit.
 * Cute Bruiser: In second chapter, her attacks include "Tamamo Punch", "Tamamo Tackle" and "Tamamo Rolling". When Luka dodges these attacks, he is terrified by the damage they leave behind.
 * Dishing Out Dirt: Her specialty as the Knight of Earth. She uses it to massively enhance her strength and durability.
 * Friendly Enemy: She never attacks Luka in the first chapter, and offers him Poseidon's Bell after hearing how he rescued her follower from the spider girl. In the second chapter, she teams up with Luka to fight Yamata no Orochi and teaches him to use a stronger Gnome technique.
 * Hopeless Boss Fight: In first chapter, you have the option of challenging her to a fight. Winning is impossible, however.
 * Kitsune
 * Legacy of Service: Advisor to the monster lords for over 500 years.
 * Meaningful Name: She's named for a legendary nine-tailed Kitsune in Japanese mythology, considered one of the three greatest youkai.
 * Older Than They Look: Despite her childish looks, Tamamo is actually the oldest of the four.
 * Physical God: As nine-tails kitsune, she enjoys the status in Yamatai.
 * Playing With Fire:
 * Readings Are Off the Scale: Luka defeats a seven-tailed kitsune thanks to his mysterious sleep-based powers moments before encountering Tamamo. According to Alice, however, nine tails are so much more powerful than seven that it's not even worth considering trying to fight her.
 * Really 700 Years Old: She's old enough to have advised several past Monster Lords, yet looks like a little girl.
 * Stealth Mentor: To Luka, during their fight against Yamata-no-Orochi and even their final battle in the Monster Lord's castle. Justified in that she's been teaching several generations of Monster Lords for centuries, and with Luka using skills that draw on monsters' powers, she can't help but correct him.
 * Super Strength: Using just one of her tails, she can restrain Luka using the second level of Gnome
 * There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Her optional fight in Chapter 1. She does 9 hits, each that hits more than your MAX HP.
 * Trademark Favourite Food: Aburaage. For the record, it's tofu that has been sliced thin and fried twice, a staple favorite for most any kitsune.
 * Youkai

Alma Elma
The Knight of Wind, Alma Elma is a very powerful Succubus. She was the one responsible for preventing ships from leaving the southern continent by conjuring huge storms.


 * Blow You Away: In both senses; she's certainly flexible in that regard.
 * Brilliant but Lazy: On top of being a master of wind magic and pleasure techniques, . However, she always plays around and rarely bothers to fulfill her duties.
 * Femme Fatale: Bordering on being The Vamp.
 * Friendly Enemy: In chapter 2.
 * Horny Devils: The queen of them.
 * I'm a Humanitarian: Losing in her first fight will result in her swallowing Luka with her tail.
 * I Am Not Left-Handed:
 * Let's Get Dangerous: During her final confrontation with Luka, he calls her out and tells her to stop playing around and fight seriously. She proceeds to take off her clothes and demonstrate just why she's the queen of all succubi. She takes this further in her final fight with Hainuwele,
 * Spell My Name with an "S": In the first chapter her name was translated as "Arumaeruma". For the second chapter and onwards, the same translator decided to change it to "Alma Elma".
 * Stealth Mentor: In the second chapter, she pretty much forces Luka to use more power from Sylph in both fights.
 * Super Speed: She's as fast as the wind itself.
 * The Unfettered: Basically just does whatever the hell she wants. Matter of fact, this actually saves Luka; he only manages to win their battles (save the last one) because she gives up and leaves.
 * Worf Effect: Same as for Granberia; see above.

Erubetie
The Knight of Water, Erubetie is a unique slime. She is not encountered in the first chapter apart from being referenced in a conversation between the other three Knights.


 * The Assimilator: She has absorbed countless humans and monsters to attain her current form.
 * Blob Monster
 * Emotionless Girl
 * The Ghost: Makes no appearance in the first chapter, on account of her soaking in the springs of her birthplace in Undine's cave.
 * Healing Factor: According to her profile, courtesy of being made almost entirely of water.
 * He Who Fights Monsters: The innumerable beings she has absorbed into herself on her quest for vengeance twisted her mind.
 * I'm a Humanitarian: She consumes Luka if he loses in their first fight.
 * Heel Face Turn:
 * I Am Legion: She has the combined personalities of everyone she's absorbed.
 * Kill All Humans: Her goal, due to humans polluting the waterways that slimes depend on.
 * Making a Splash: Although she's the Knight of Water, she's unlike the rest of the Knights in that she doesn't use the signature buffing technique associated with her element (Serene Mind). Her use of water is limited to using her own liquid body for battle.
 * Mind Hive: Her profile reveals that she has the minds of thousands of other slimes and monsters she has fused with over the years inside her, kept in check by Erubetie's iron will.
 * Nuclear Weapons Taboo: Subverted. She can turn herself into a nuclear fusion bomb.
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Erubetie? Elbetty? Elvetie? Almost all her attacks' names are based on locations, so it's likely that the correct name is Elvetie, since (h)Elvetie a way of spelling Switzerland's local archaic name - specifically, it's Gaulish.
 * Taking You with Me: She was going to pull this in the second battle,.
 * Theme Naming: Her attacks are named after mythical locations: Heaven's Prison, Divine Gale, Xanadu Stroke etc.

The Four Elemental Spirits
The four spirits that lent their power to the hero Heinrich 500 years ago, allowing him to defeat the eighth Monster Lord. Luka also seeks out their assistance in a similar manner.

The Spirits in general:
 * Elemental Embodiment: Of the four classical elements.
 * Puzzle Boss: Barring Gnome, each Spirit requires you to perform a scripted task instead of whittling down their HP. Justified as they are testing Luka's capabilities or trying to teach him a new technique.

Sylph
The wind spirit, and the first to lend her power to Luka. Her Level 1 ability helps Luka protect himself from things like vines, tentacles, and anything that can easily be blown away or chopped up by wind. Additionally, magical attacks or attacks that rely on aromas can be blown away by the wind. Her level 2 ability allows Luka to evade almost any attack altogether, as well as increasing his normal attacks' hit rate to 100%. Finally, her Level 3 ability allows Luka to use two normal attacks per turn instead of one, and her summoning cost is lowered from 2 SP to 1 SP. The special technique Lightning Sword Flash (an upgraded version of Thunder Thrust) can be powered up by channeling it with Sylph.


 * Blow You Away: Of course, as she is the spirit of wind. Contrasts Alma Elma, the wind-attribute Heavenly Knight.
 * Butt Monkey: Constantly abused by the other spirits, and occasionally Alice too.
 * Disc One Nuke: Her ability trivializes almost every fight for the remainder of chapter one. Even the Chimera Dryad becomes unable to lay a single attack on Luka while Sylph is active (with the exception of her one-hit-kill attack, which can be avoided simply by defending).
 * The Ditz: Can come off as this quite often. In truth, she's not so much ditzy as she is childish.
 * Flash Step: Her enhanced abilities allow Luka to dodge like this, and the upgraded Thunder Thrust technique with Sylph's power acts in a similar manner.
 * Idiot Hair: Sports a VERY prominent ahoge.
 * Team Mom: In a way. At the very least, she seems to be the only of the spirits who enjoys having the others around. She goes to the extent of trying to put together a picnic with the other three, only to be set on fire by Salamander.

Gnome
The earth spirit, and the second to lend her power to Luka. Her Level 1 ability helps Luka to more easily break out of enemies' holds. Her Level 2 ability cuts the damage Luka takes by a third, as well as increasing his chance to land a critical hit. Finally, her Level 3 ability increase Luka's critical hit chance to 100%, and reduces Gnome's summoning cost from 2 SP to 1 SP. The special technique Earth Rumbling Decapitation (an upgraded version of Demon Skull Beheading) can be powered up by channeling it with Gnome.


 * Creepy Doll: Her mud dolls, at least one of which she is almost always seen holding (in her physical form, at least). Doubles in creepiness, she has them rape Luka if he fails her trial.
 * Dishing Out Dirt: Naturally, as the earth spirit. Contrasts Tamamo, the earth-attribute Heavenly Knight.
 * Emotionless Girl
 * The Stoic: Doesn't say anything, and doesn't do anything besides occasionally punching Sylph.
 * The Voiceless: Her profile states that she prefers other methods of communication because she's bad at expressing herself.

Undine
The water spirit, and the third to lend her power to Luka. Her Level 1 ability (almost useless, as Luka is unable to control her powers at first) shaves off a tiny amount of the damage Luka takes (roughly 10%). Her level 2 ability allows Luka to easily dodge enemy attacks (at a nearly 100% rate), while reducing damage from attacks that do land, as well as increasing his offensive capabilities (though preventing critical hits from occurring) at the cost of 1 SP per turn. Finally, her Level 3 ability changes her SP cost to a one-time cost of 4 SP, rather than consuming 1 SP every turn (though the dodge rate is reduced). The special technique Serene Demon Sword (an upgraded version of Demon Decapitation) can be powered up by channeling it with Undine, at the cost of ending her summoning.


 * Blob Monster: In a strict sense, yes.
 * Hikikomori: Described as a shut-in in her encyclopedia entry, most likely due to the polluted water everywhere except her spring.
 * I Am a Humanitarian: Eats any humans that trespass into her spring, assuming the other slime monsters don't get to them first. Also the only one of the spirits that will eat Luka if he fails her trial.
 * Making a Splash: As the water spirit. Contrasts Erubetie, the water-attribute Heavenly Knight.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Is that even hair?

Salamander
The fire spirit, and the last to lend her power to Luka. Her Level 1 ability allows Luka to increase his offensive capability, at the cost of temporarily being unable to recover his HP; however, the damage increase is negligible, due to Luka not being able to properly harness Salamander's powers. After her Level 2 upgrade, summoning her will further increase Luka's offensive capabilities as well as max out his SP, though his SP will drop back down to 0 when her power leaves. Finally, her Level 3 ability no longer prevents Luka from recovering HP, and does not drain his SP when her summoning ends. The special technique Vaporizing Rebellion Sword (an upgraded version of Death Sword Chaos Star) can be powered up by channeling it with Salamander.


 * Fiery Redhead: Averted as far as we've seen, despite her encyclopedia entry claiming such (as well as literally having a fiery red head). She's quite calm, and doesn't get much more fired up even when in battle.
 * Game Breaker: Her level 3 version is quite simply this- instantly fully recharges your SP AND boosts your damage for no drawback? On the other hand, you NEED it for the couple of battles you get it for.
 * Hotblooded Sideburns: As to be expected of the spirit of fire.
 * Limit Break: Her enhanced powers can come off as this. A final burst of SP and enhanced offense will let you finish off enemies easily, but when her power runs out, you're reduced to 0 SP and most likely heavily injured due to not being able to recover HP with her active. Suffice to say, it's VERY important to finish off your enemies while she's still active.
 * The Obi-Wan: To Granberia, though Salamander is the weaker of the two nowadays. The two apparently were together for a majority of Granberia's early life.
 * Playing with Fire: Only natural for the fire spirit. Contrasts Granberia, the fire-attribute Heavenly Knight (who also happens to be Salamander's former student).

The Four Bandits
Four monster bandits who terrorise the lands around Iliasburg. Well, they would, if not for the fact that they are all children. The band is comprised of a goblin, a lamia, a vampire and a dragon.


 * Harmless Villain
 * Hypnotic Eyes: The Vampire can defeat Luka with these, but like the Goblin Girl she telegraphs the attack so obviously that she actually has to ask you to look into her eyes.
 * Hero Worshipper: To the Four Heavenly Knights.
 * Not So Harmless: The Dragon Pup is the only one who is actually dangerous due to her fire breath.
 * Gameplay and Story Segregation: But she's actually the easiest to beat; you just have to hit her with Demon Decapitation once and she surrenders.
 * Poke the Poodle: Their actions essentially amounted to harmless pranks.
 * Super Strength: The Goblin Girl actually has the strength to KO Luka with one hit, but she telegraphs her attack so obviously that you can really only get hit by it if you deliberately let her.

Harpy Queen
The queen of the harpies who are abducting men from Happiness Village.


 * I Let You Win: Her profile states that she wasn't fighting against Luka with her full power due to doubts about her plan.
 * Tenchi Solution: Eventually agrees to this solution in order to stop the conflict.
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: Encouraged her followers to kidnap human men from nearby villages, but only because Ilias' prohibition meant they were in danger of extinction otherwise.

Chrome
A necromancer obsessed with zombies and the dead. Chrome is the mastermind behind the haunted mansion sidequest, taking up residence in the abandoned house and raising many zombies from its sprawling graveyard.


 * Easily Forgiven: Downplay. When Luka fight her, he claims that Chrome is too evil and must be sealed, she run away before that can be done. When Luka tells Alice that Chrome is the one behind whole haunted house incident, Alice angily beat a crap out of her, it's so brutal that Luka end up holding Alice back, and lets Chrome escape with promise that she will never perform experiment with corpses again.
 * Frankenstein's Monster: Her prized creation is Frederika, a massive female zombie whose main body is based on the last daughter of the house. Over the years Chrome added parts from other zombies onto her in order to "improve" her creation.
 * Grave Robbing: How she obtains her raw materials.
 * Horny Devils: It has been stated in-game that she is a succubus, even if she acts nothing like one.

Lily
The main villain of the Witch Hunt sidequest, Lily was the illegitimate daughter of the village chief. After being shunned her entire life, Lily took her revenge by murdering her father and brothers with forbidden magic and subjecting her village to brutal witch hunts.


 * The Dog Bites Back: It's not smart to torment someone with magic potential whilst leaving books containing forbidden magic around.
 * Evil Sorceror
 * Freudian Excuse: She was bullied and shunned for being a bastard child by pretty much everyone.
 * Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant
 * Lovecraftian Superpower: Her powers seem to be based around transforming people into hideous masses of tentacles.
 * Mad Scientist
 * Not So Different: To Luka.
 * Shout-Out: Her outfit looks eerily similar to Adult Rydia's from Final Fantasy IV.

Lazarus
The current leader of the anti-monster terrorist group Ilias Creutz. Lazarus is officially seen only briefly in the first chapter, but has a hidden conversation in Sabasa that proves to be very revealing.


 * Ax Crazy: Subverted. Lazarus is actually very mellow and calm about his various bombings.
 * Awesomeness By Analysis: Immediately discerns Luka's fighting style simply by looking at his shoes.
 * Dark and Troubled Past:
 * Death Seeker:
 * Fallen Hero
 * Jumped Off the Slippery Slope
 * Knight Templar
 * Mad Bomber: However, he's consistently ineffective at it, with no monsters dying to his bombs. An Alternate Character Interpretation is that
 * Not So Different: When Luka lambasts him for using violence to uphold Ilias's laws, Lazarus counters by asking Luka how many monsters he himself has trampled over in pursuit of his goal of co-operation.
 * Redemption Equals Death:
 * Shell-Shocked Veteran: He's an old man whose quest to kill the Monster Lord never ended, particularly after the death of his best friends at the hands of a monster.
 * Taken for Granite:

 * Psychos For Hire

Yamata no Orochi
A legendary monster that lives in the mountains near Yamatai. The Orochi used to be sealed but has since awoken and begun demanding sacrifices in exchange for leaving the village alone.


 * Cool Crown: Eight of them, in fact.
 * Multiple Head Case: Fitting her myth, she has eight heads (and torsos).
 * Non-Malicious Monster: The Orochi's sacrifices aren't actually killed, but spend an entire year being molested by her. This hilariously leads to dozens of men volunteering to be the sacrifice every year.
 * Orochi

Cassandra
The ruler of Lady Village, so-called because male adventurers who travel there never return. Cassandra and nearly all the other villagers are actually monsters in disguise who rape and devour any men who enter the village.


 * Blob Monster: An unconventional one, being made out of digestive organs.
 * Hypocrite: She has the audacity to beg for her life after claiming that only the strong deserve to survive.
 * I Am a Humanitarian: And proud of it too.
 * Karmic Death: She is eventually killed by Alice, who points out that her own belief in survival of the fittest means she was weak and therefore deserved to die.
 * Killed Off for Real: One of the only monsters so far to be killed outright rather than simply sealed.
 * Offing the Offspring: Devours her own daughter Emily after she fails to defeat Luka.
 * The Ojou: Her disguise until she unmasks herself.
 * The Social Darwinist: Cassandra believes wholeheartedly in the survival of the fittest and that strong monsters should rule over weak humans.

Alice the Eighth
The eighth Monster Lord, known as "Black Alice" due to being a cruel and sadistic monster who despises humans. She was defeated by the great human hero Heinrich 500 years prior to Luka's adventure.


 * Alice Allusion: Looks very much like that Alice.
 * Big Bad: One of them.

 * The Dragon:
 * Elemental Powers:

 * Monster Lord: The eighth, and by far the worst of them.
 * One-Winged Angel:

 * The Starscream:
 * Terrible Trio:
 * Trick Boss:

The Chimeras
Fearsome monsters that appear to be made from parts taken from many different creatures. They are mysterious beings and even Alice has no idea where they come from. Eventually revealed to be the creations of Promestein, who developed them as weapons to use

Chimeras in general:


 * Artificial Monsters
 * Attack! Attack! Attack!: Chimeras will attack anything on sight, regardless of whether they are human or monsters.
 * Body Horror: The most basic Chimera has mismatched horns and eyes, multiple tongues, mismatched front and back legs, and a single wing. Other chimeras, especially the failed experiments, take this even further.
 * Emotionless Girl: None of the generic chimeras ever display emotion.
 * Implacable Man
 * Mix-and-Match Critters: All of them by definition. The basic Chimera Beast resembles a griffin in having both feline and avian parts, but also has a reptilian tail and two horns belonging to another two different animals.
 * Out of the Inferno: The Chimera Dryad is barely fazed by Alice's Omega Fire attack.
 * That One Boss: Both the Chimera Dryad and the Chimera Dryad Vore.

Giganto Weapon
An ancient Chimera created a thousand years ago during the Monster Wars. Although she has lost some of her power since then, she is still a fearsome opponent. The Four Knights reactivate her to fight against Luka, but cannot control her, causing her to go on a rampage.


 * Artificial Monster
 * Combat Tentacles
 * Emotionless Girl
 * Healing Factor: Heals herself for 3000 HP when her hit points are reduced to zero.
 * Make Me Wanna Shout: Her Disrupting Roar attack, which stuns Luka if he doesn't have Sylph up.
 * Playing with Fire: Her Giga Inferno attack.
 * Shout-Out: To the Weapons of Final Fantasy. She even has her own unique boss theme that sounds like it belongs in that series.

Arc-en-Ciel
A Next Doll created by Promestein. Made to be a counter to Granberia, she possesses incredible strength to match and overpower Granberia's own.


 * Bare-Fisted Monk: Unlike Granberia, she fights without weapons.
 * Blood Knight
 * Playing With Fire: She's fire-aligned like Granberia.
 * Your Days Are Numbered:

Hainuwele
A Next Doll created by Promestein. Made to be a counter to Alma Elma, she has incredible speed and agility to outmaneuver even the Queen Succubus' attacks, and her emotional responses dialed down to nothing to render her immune to pleasure-inducing attacks.


 * Fragile Speedster: With emphasis on both the "Fragile" and the "Speedster". She's even faster than Alma Elma, but this speed was obtained by giving her almost no armor.
 * Won't Work On Me: Completely immune to pleasure, to counter Alma Elma.

Tsukuyomi
A Next Doll created by Promestein. Made to be a counter to Tamamo.


 * Dishing Out Dirt: She can enhance her strength and durability with the power of the earth.
 * Lightning Bruiser: To an even greater extent than Tamamo.

A Next Doll created by Promestein. Rather than being made to counter anyone, she is designed to breed the next generation of Next Dolls.

 * Explosive Breeder: Her role, and she possesses a keen interest in reproduction.

Marcellus
Luka's father, who died when Luka was a child. He's also the founder of the terrorist group Ilias Kreutz along with Lazarus, and was eventually killed by a monster.


 * The Atoner:
 * Badass Normal: Depending on whether or not he was baptised, but even so he and his followers fought their way across the world and made it to Helgondo without Garuda. AND without the Spirits. Sylph explicitly says her last master was Heinrich... meaning Marcellus and his buddies had nothing but their own natural abilities to rely on. Which by extension means they had to be frighteningly powerful in their own right to get that far. Granted, two had enough monster blood to use some magic (they were a cleric and a wizard respectively), but still!
 * Fallen Hero
 * Heel Face Turn:
 * Knight Templar: He founded Ilias Kruetz.
 * Posthumous Character

Heinrich Hein
A legendary Hero from 500 years ago. Heinrich successfully defeated the eighth Monster Lord, a feat which no Hero has managed to repeat. As such, he is Luka's idol.


 * And I Must Scream:
 * Chekhov's Gunman: Heinrich is mentioned twice during the first chapter, but far more important information about him is revealed during the second.
 * Generation Xerox: Luka's journey parallels Heinrich's in many ways. Monster Girl Quest Paradox suggests that this extends to
 * Posthumous Character
 * Shrouded in Myth: The circumstances surrounding Heinrich's journey have become very distorted through the ages. For instance,
 * Weak But Skilled: Compared to Luka. He lacks Luka's, but is a more skilled swordsman and summoner. He's capable of dodging attacks while charging up Quadruple Giga, something Luka can't do.

Amira the Unfortunate Lamia
A reverse lamia with human legs and a snake's torso. Amira often appears in towns and cities to offer helpful advice on where to go next... when she isn't hanging lampshades on something, or breaking the fourth wall, or telling Blatant Lies about herself.


 * Abhorrent Admirer: To Luka.
 * Blatant Lies: Every time Luka meets her, she claims to be suffering tremendous misfortune. Every time, it turns out to be a bunch of lies.
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: All the time.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: If you don't do the sidequests required for the orbs, Amira will get them for you.
 * Fan Disservice: Played for Laughs.
 * Meta Guy
 * Painting the Fourth Wall

King of Sabasa
The King of Sabasa and father of Sara. A grizzled old man who looks more like a warrior than a ruler.


 * Badass Beard
 * Covered in Scars
 * Half-Human Hybrid:
 * Offscreen Moment of Awesome: In Chapter 3,
 * Overprotective Dad: Appears to be this at first, but later on in the second chapter he says that he'd rather Sara be happy than be Queen.

Sara
The princess of Sabasa. When she runs away from the castle in order to attempt the pyramid's trial, she is assumed to have been kidnapped, and Luka is sent to "rescue" her.


 * Badass Princess: Though she doesn't seem like anything special when compared to Luka, she's easily more capable than any other human we've seen.
 * Badass Normal
 * Bi The Way: Seems to be bisexual, having a serious crush on Granberia, but also being wiling to give Luka a blowjob
 * Brainwashed and Crazy:
 * Everything's Better with Princesses
 * Half-Human Hybrid:
 * Princess Incognito: Doesn't try to hide it; Luka just doesn't realize until it's blatantly stated.
 * Save the Princess: The pyramid sidequest starts out like this, but it soon becomes apparent that she was never abducted in the first place. Given that she probably would have died without Luka's help, this trope is brought back into effect just as quickly. She gets kidnapped for real in Part 2.

Selena
A mysterious woman Luka meets in Goldport. She later turns out to be the granddaughter of the legendary Pirate Queen Selene.


 * Artifact of Doom: The Box of Calamity, a sealed box that contains three powerful fly demons. Selene opened the box, and it's Selena's goal to seal them up again.
 * Nice Hat
 * Pirate Girl
 * Our Ghosts Are Different:

Six Ancestors
The very first monsters created by Alice 1, by infusing her dark energy into animals. They in turn gave rise to all the monsters today. Little is revealed about them in the game, but they are major characters in Monster Girl Quest Paradox

The Ancestors in general:
 * Famous Ancestor
 * Sealed Good in a Can: All of them sealed themselves away using the Six Ancestors' Great Seal, as part of the treaty with Ilias.

Minagi
The ancestor of succubi, who became known as the Great Whore of Babylon for her debauchery. She was the monster most hated by Ilias. She is the main villain of the anime.


 * Dream Weaver: She pulls Luka into a dream in which various monsters rape him. When this fails to break him, she begins raping him herself. She mentions that each time he ejaculates, the energy from his semen will go to her. Additionally, she claims that Luka will never die in the dream, so she can rape him all she wants.
 * Evil Is Sexy
 * Power Tattoo: Tattoos of various colors cover her body.
 * Red Baron: "Great Whore of Babylon".
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: She has bright red eyes and is the villain in her first appearance.
