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...


 * 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".
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * 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 the game.
 * 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 Breaking Point
 * Selectively-Lethal Weapon: The Angel Halo seals monsters rather than killing them.
 * Angel Halo is a strictly nonlethal weapon. Luka still carries his steel sword for killing blows.
 * 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:
 * Technical Virgin: Canonically, yes. While the monsters will suck, fondle and do pretty much anything to him, he can never actually have penetrative intercourse with any of them without getting a game over. Defeat scenes aside, any attack that involves penetration is inescapable once it hits, meaning a guaranteed loss. Even the few canonical sex scenes Luka gets (with ) are non-penetrative. While he MIGHT have had sex with a human girl before the story begins, it seems doubtful.
 * There's a notable exception to that: it is possible to take a penetrative attack without an instant defeat from the Lencubus, but since she drains levels when she does it, if it happens too often you WILL lose. It's possible to throw her off the first two times (the second with Gnome), but third time, you're pretty much gone because you lost too many levels. So depending on how the battle with the Lencubus goes, Luka just may lose his virginity to her...
 * 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.
 * Also against in chapter 2.
 * Wall Jump: He can't 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:
 * Awesome McCoolname: Her actual name is Alipheese Fateburn.
 * 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.
 * 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,
 * Devil in Plain Sight
 * Subverted:
 * 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 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
 * Blue-Skinned Monster Babe: In her true lamia form.
 * Hopeless Boss Fight: Both fights against Alice in part 1 are optional battles that the player has no chance of winning.
 * Kuudere
 * 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.
 * Snakes Are Sexy
 * 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:
 * 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?:
 * She shares the tic with her Four Knights, although they have their own versions (Tamamo says "hore!" and Granberia says "sore!").

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.


 * 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 main settlements of the first part of the game are Ilias Village, Illiasport, Iliasburg and Ilias Forest.
 * Also San Ilia, the translator decided to change it from San Iria after part 1.
 * Expy:
 * Good Is Not Nice: Assuming she is good, this definitely applies. Depending on the choices, Luka can die by her hand three different times before fighting a single battle, though most of those are non-malicious.
 * 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.
 * Kryptonite Factor: Being baptized by Ilias carries the chief benefit of making a person totally unappealing to monsters.
 * Light Is Not Good: May or may not be true.
 * : A TERRIFYING one in the sequel.
 * Unreliable Narrator: If what Alice says is true, Ilias did not create the world and certainly did not create the monsters that cohabit it. In addition, she continues to call Luka a true Hero even though he missed his baptism.
 * 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.
 * What the Hell, Player?: "Stop losing on purpose to watch the sex scenes!"
 * Winged Humanoid

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".


 * 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.


 * Fallen Angel
 * Punny Name: The universe's version of Archangel Lucifer.
 * Posthumous Character

Mysterious Woman ()
A mysterious woman wearing scientist's lab coat who appears and leave multiple time during the haunthouse and witch hunt quests. Chekhov's Gunman ensues.


 * Portmanteau Name:
 * 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 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: Artwork of the sequel seems to be giving her this vibe.
 * BFS
 * 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.
 * 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
 * Friendly Enemy: She never attacks Luka in first chapter, and offers him Poseidon's Bell after hearing how he rescued her follower from the spider girl. In 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.
 * 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.
 * 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
 * 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
 * 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
 * Femme Fatale: Bordering on being The Vamp.
 * Friendly Enemy: In chapter 2.
 * Horny Devils
 * I'm a Humanitarian
 * 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.
 * Spell My Name with an "S": In the first game her name was translated as "Arumaeruma". For the second game 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.
 * 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.
 * 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 game apart from being referenced in a conversation between the other three Knights.


 * Blob Monster
 * Emotionless Girl
 * The Ghost: Makes no appearance in the first game, 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:
 * I'm a Humanitarian
 * Kill All Humans
 * Making a Splash
 * 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.

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:
 * 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 abilities help 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. 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.
 * The Ditz: Can come off as this quite often. In truth, she's not so much ditzy as she is childish.
 * 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.
 * 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 abilities help Luka to more easily break out of enemies' holds. 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).
 * 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.
 * 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 abilities (almost useless, as Luka is unable to control her powers at first) shave off a tiny amount of the damage Luka takes (roughly 10%). 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.
 * Making a Splash: As the water spirit. Contrasts Erubetie, the water-attribute Heavenly Knight.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Is that even hair?
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Is that even hair?
 * 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 abilities allow 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. 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:
 * Hotblooded Sideburns: As to be expected of the spirit of fire.
 * Limit Break:
 * Playing with Fire: Only natural for the fire spirit. Contrasts Granberia, the fire-attribute Heavenly Knight.
 * Playing with Fire: Only natural for the fire spirit. Contrasts Granberia, the fire-attribute Heavenly Knight.

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 Villains
 * 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.
 * Winged Humanoid

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: 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
 * Horny Devils: It has been stated in-game that she is a succubus, even if she acts nothing like one.
 * I Love the Dead
 * Mad Scientist
 * Mad Scientist Laboratory: The crypts beneath the mansion.
 * Necromancer
 * Older Than They Look: Despite her apparent youthfulness, Chrome is actually a hundred years older than Alice.
 * The Stinger: Her profile notes that she's now researching ghosts. This Is Gonna Suck for Alice.

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

 * Awesomeness By Analysis: Immediately discerns Luka's fighting style simply by looking at his shoes.
 * Dark and Troubled Past:
 * As it turns out,
 * Fallen Hero
 * Jumped Off the Slippery Slope

 * 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.

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.

 * Blood Knight

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.


 * 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!
