Line 40:
* [[And I Must Scream]]: This rather [[Humiliation Conga|humiliating and embarrassing]] fate happens to most of the Chaos Lords so far: [[Squishy Wizard|Escherion]] was [[Laughably Evil|turned into a frog]], [[Kitsune]] was sealed away in the rift taking him back to the [[Youkai|Yokai]] world, [[Hybrid Monster|Wolfwing]] was reduced to a pile of ashes by Shadowslayer Z until the Mystic Wolf Moon began slowly restoring his remains, and [[The Starscream|Led]][[Omnicidal Maniac|ger]][[Complete Monster|mayne]] was converted back into the raw mana from which it was made.
** And there are some [[Humiliation Conga|equally humiliating and and embarrassing]] examples with those who weren't Chaos Lords. One example is the fate of {{spoiler|the revived Noxus, whose head was taken off his undead body and used to make a weapon. Gravelyn even gives the weapon to the Hero in a Non-Canon Ending the Doomwood finale.}}
* [[Angels, Devils, and Squid]]: Good, Evil, and Chaos.
* [[An Ice Person]]: Queen Aisha, Garaja, & {{spoiler|Dead Morice}}
* [[Animal-Eared Headband]]: A couple of these are helms.
Line 270:
** As well as Paladins. The Undead Slayer can also heal, but only himself, and only by using Spirit Orbs.
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: Just like any other Artix Entertainment game, including its newly-released sister game ''[[Hero Smash (Video Game)|Hero Smash]]'', you can choose what your character's name will be. In the game, however, the character in question is referred to simply as [[The Hero]].
* [[Hero -Killer]]: {{spoiler|Vordred, the Paladin Slayer. He's killed every Paladin there is except one. (Well, two actually. There was one other that survived, but he was turned to stone.) See [[Last of His Kind]] for details}}.
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Or in this case, VILLAINS want redheads. So many people have joined Evil simply because they like how Gravelyn looks.
** The Evil [[Player Characters|PCs]] are just as much heroes as the Good PCs, in fact the Evil reputation missions send you to kill strictly evil/undead enemies and absolutely no living enemies that aren't evil.
Line 288:
** {{spoiler|Krellonos: [[Averted Trope|Was brutally slain by his sister, Khassandra, making him the second Chaos Lord to die.]] Khassandra took his place as Chaos Lord, though she is on the Hero's side now.}}
** Maximilian Lionfang: {{spoiler|After his second defeat following his [[Kick the Dog]] moment of burning the Frostval gifts and his futile attempt to kill the Spirit of Frostval by knocking the snow globe out of the hero's hands and shattering it, he was remanded to Swordhaven's dungeon after witnessing her return much to his own [[This Cannot Be!|shock and disbelief]].}}
** Noxus: {{spoiler|Vordred is called away by Sally after it is learned that Arc Attack is in town, leaving Noxus alone with Gravelyn. Then he gets knocked right off the Shadowscythe throne by Chuckles, the only undead who he didn't create for her father (he was Gravelyn's first creation), who then frees Gravelyn. Gravelyn then promptly takes back control of the undead army that Noxus was going to use to finish off the assembled heroes and allows you to pass so you can kick his ass. Then, after you defeat him, Gravelyn cracks him one in the face when he tells you he cannot be killed, and then the Hero, during his or her conversation with Gravelyn about Vordred and Arc Attack, smacks Noxus down each time he tries to rise again, and then Gravelyn gives Chuckles a promotion by swapping his skull with Noxus', proceeding to deliver a [[Shout -Out]] to Hamlet while doing so. And then she plans to have Noxus' skull used to create a weapon for her...by Cysero}}. Tough break, bonehead!
** Vordred: After a furious battle with Artix and the Hero, in which {{spoiler|Vordred is stripped of his armor of skulls by Artix's power over Spirit Orbs and the Hero's furious battle prowess, Vordred's shadow is pinned down by Artix's shadow (a gigantic black dragon), while the Hero takes him down}}; Vordred gets his comeuppance in one of four major ways, depending on who you had Cysero and Beleen send for:
*** In {{spoiler|Gravelyn}}'s ending, {{spoiler|Vordred is finished off with the weapon Gravelyn had made from the skull of Noxus, furthering Noxus' own conga and making Vordred's end suitably ironic.}}
Line 447:
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: Nythera does these a lot in her own wedding event, and for good reasons.
* [[Purple Is the New Black]]: Purple is the color choice for the forces of Chaos.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Vath, when he realizes his drow soldiers are losing the battle. Possibly his only break from being something of a [[Smug Snake]], before he fights the hero.
** Gravelyn and Safiria also get these when they're good and pissed.
** The Beastmaker has these as the only part of him shown as the rest of his body is completely hidden and shadowed.
Line 457:
* [[Revenge]]: {{spoiler|Tibicenas' motivation against the Efreet for all the years he made him spend as an outcast after kicking him out of the Djinn world}}.
** Vayle is ''very'' pissed at Artix for {{spoiler|breaking the crystal that had her brother's spirit inside}}.
* [[The End or- Or Is It?]]: {{spoiler|Shadowslayer Z killed Wolfwing and he's now ashes, no longer able to hurt anyone....well, until the Moon shone on the ashes and a pair of eyes were seen.}}
** {{spoiler|After Vordred is defeated, Drakath gives his skull to Sally, who promises to make him more powerful than ever}}.
* [[Red and Black And Evil All Over]]: Gravelyn has red hair, red armor and a black cape
Line 495:
* [[Shoulders of Doom]]: Drakath as well as Thok even The Hero can choose to be this trope.
** There is also Vordred, with his skull based armor.
* [[Shout -Out]]: All your opponents are knockoffs of anime characters in the Dragon Koi Tournament in Akiba. There's [[Pokémon (Anime)|Bash Ketchup with Pocky Chew]], [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals|Nurse Jenny]] (who mentions a Nurse Bliss), [[Naruto|NOTruto]], [[Inuyasha (Manga)|Neko Yasha]], [[Mortal Kombat|Spork-ion, Absolute Zero]], and [[Dragonball|Ryoku]].
** Also, the Sleuthhound Inn and its NPCs, which is one humongous shout out to the famous classic boardgame ''[[Clue (Tabletop Game)|Clue]]'', including a custodian named [[Tim Curry|Curry]].
*** The latest quest involves Don Giovanni, who sold his soul to a demon named Faust. This is a reference to an opera where a man named Faust sold his soul to the Devil.
Line 501:
** Vath's General of Dark Elves is called the Scorpion King. His name? Dwain Jonsen.
** {{spoiler|As of the start of the Shadowfall vs. Doomwood war, Noxus dresses up Gravelyn in a slave outfit similar to the one Leia wore in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.}}
** Seeing as how she's referred to as She Who Walks Behind The Stalks, the Stalkwalker is a [[Shout -Out]] to [[Children of the Corn]]'s [[God of Evil|He Who]] [[Ultimate Evil|Walks Behind]] [[Complete Monster|The Rows]]. The fact that she feeds on the psychic energy of parents and Chaorrupts the kids into serving as her army to do away with all the grown-ups makes her both based on AND as much of a monster as He Who Walks Behind The Rows himself.
*** Then again, the Children of the Candycorn part of the Mogloween events is pretty much based on [[Children of the Corn]].
** Baron Luca from the 2011 Mogloween Event is based on Dracula from [[Castlevania]], as he turns into a second, demonic form at half of his health.
Line 574:
* [[Van Helsing Hate Crimes]]: The majority of enemies aren't hostile until you attack them, which can lead to some peculiar moral quandries if thought about too much.
* [[Villain Override]]: Noxus does this to {{spoiler|Gravelyn's entire undead army}} at the start of the Shadowfall War. The reason it's not [[Mass Hypnosis]] instead is because {{spoiler|Noxus first created the army in question for her father, Sepulchure, who was also partially his creation}}.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Vath gets this along with a [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]] when he realizes that his Drow Soldiers are losing the battle with the newly-freed dwarves.
** After Ledgermayne sees that the hero accepted the shards of the Chaos Focus Gem into the Supreme Arcane Staff, it declares that the hero, whom it was unable to dissuade from the "self-destructive course" as it called it, must be dealt with as he/she challenges it to a fight.
** Master / {{spoiler|Exos}} experienced this {{spoiler|when his plan was accidentally given away by one of the Chaorrupted Sky Pirates, and especially when Invidia (the Dreamweaver in disguise) betrayed him}}.
Line 593:
** {{spoiler|Stalagbite is a dragon. A very angry dragon. Chances are, we don't want to know what happened to Vath after Stalagbite has his way with him...}}
* [[What If]]: ''Adventure Quest Worlds Zombies'' is based on a question of what would happen if {{spoiler|Drakath never intervened in the showdown between King Alteon and Sepulchure}}.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: One word: Doomwood.
** Three words: [[Holy Shit Quotient|Doomwood]] [[Serial Escalation|Pt]] [[Beyond the Impossible|II]]
* [[Wham! Line]]: {{spoiler|Hero: (to Kimberly) Wait, YOU'RE THE REAL CHAOS LORD?!}}
** {{spoiler|Vordred: Artix is the CHAMPION OF DARKNESS!!}}
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Vath and his Drow soldiers. Also, one of the color system's hair color choices for the male heroes.
Line 622:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Players are capable of changing their hair color, and they can even change it to green, blue, purple, or even white.
** Captain Stratos of the Skyguards has Blue Hair.
* [[You Have Failed Me]]: After the hero destroys the rabbit beast at the end of the sixth Friday the 13th event, the Beastmaker says this to Sleezter Bunny but surprisingly enough doesn't kill him as Sleezter's too dumb to accept death as punishment anyway. While Sleezter says he's sorry he failed, the Beastmaker receives word that the hero helped Deady and he decides to keep a close eye on him/her. Cue [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]] as well as [[Evil Laugh]].
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|Zahart has Tibicenas do this with one of his servants after they have uncovered the red diamond used to awaken the Chaos Sphinx}}.
** Drakath would often choose the next Chaos Lord to replace the current one after the current one has served his purpose well in summoning his/her/its Chaos Beast.
Line 628:
* [[You Killed My Father]]: Gravelyn would like nothing more than to make Drakath pay for killing her father, Sepulchure, and bringing the ShadowScythe Empire further into ruin.
** In the Mirror Realm storyline, we learn that this is also true of Mirror Drakath, hearkening back to his story in ''[[Dragon Fable (Video Game)|Dragon Fable]]'' in which he was the son of the Evil King that the present King Alteon overthrew.
* [[You Mean "Xmas"]]: Just like AQ, DF, and MQ, Mogloween (Halloween), the Harvest Festival (Thanksgiving), Frostval (Christmas), Heroes Heart Day (Valentine's Day), Good Luck Day (St. Patrick's Day), Grenwog (Easter), Planet Day (Earth Day), and Freedom Day (Independence Day).
* [[You're Insane!]]: In the cutscene played after defeating Andre's Giant Necklace, Andre thinks that what the hero did is insane when he/she tells him to pick on somebody his own size next time he captures the villagers. He thinks that the hero poisoned his son, but the hero tells him that he's perfectly fine and that he's just taking a nap, which Crychek finishes with "...in yer soup."
** In Nythera's wedding event, {{spoiler|Ryuuji says this to Nythera when she says she magically awakened and summoned a Void Giant to the Void Temple because he realizes that the Void Giant is out of control and is going to destroy the temple}}.
