* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]

* [[Dumb Muscle]]

* [[Fastball Special]]: Inversion of the standard. ''Eddie carries a Bouncer'' and throws him to create a shockwave, not far from Eddie obviously.

[[File:roadies-001_3472.png|frame]]

These Roadies are not just hard to notice, they become invisible in The Age of Metal.

[[File:rockcrusher-001_732.png|frame]]

Metal is just too epic for a <s> show</s> battle to have only one <s> stage</s> base, so why not have another one? The Rock Crusher is a massive unit that bombards nearby enemies with fireworks, razes infantry with it's massive grinder, and constantly provides an attack buff for nearby friendly units. Double teaming with it, Eddie plays the ''Bladehenge Assault'' solo which traps enemies in an energy effigy of said landmark that explodes. The fact that it also plays your main <s> stage's</s> base's current <s> song</s> fanfare doesn't detract from it's awesomeness.

[[File:gravedigger-001_857.png|frame]]

A zombie dressed in Goth clothes. They are the only infantry to come in a squad of six (because large groups help them express their individuality). Before the patch, they had the lowest health of any infantry. After the patch, they got a little more. Their Double Team is very powerful, to the point of being a [[Game Breaker]].

[[File:bride-001_9096.png|frame]]

A female ghost in a wedding gown who died without finding a husband (or possibly a zombie with a wedding dress [[Fetish]]). Depressing rain follows her wherever she goes, slowing enemy movement. It can stack, so if you get three together, opposing armies will hardly function, which is why you can only make three.

[[File:frightwig-001_1322.png|frame]]

The severed head of a female Tear Drinker who washed her hair in the Sea of Black Tears, giving it supernatural beauty. After her death, her hair came to life on its own, severing the head to fight for the Drowning Doom.

[[File:ratgut-001_5134.png|frame]]

An undead Eurotrash guy whose [[Balloon Belly]] houses a family of plague infested rats. [[I Am Legion|Or it's a horde of rats reanimating a lifeless corpse,]] it's intentionally vague.

[[File:organist-001_8898.png|frame]]

A large car with a ghostly organ player who plays depressing music, reducing the opposing side's attack power. During a Double Team, the [[Hero Unit]] plays the organ while the player controls the Organist, who can float to any enemy unit and possess it with puppet strings.

[[File:lightning-rod-001_7718.png|frame]]

A hot rod sporting an electric chair. Strapped to it is Sparky, a criminal with an electric personality who gets electric shocks and fire them at enemies. During a Double Team, he creates Chain Lightning that can zap a massive group of enemies all at once. The Drowning Doom equivalent of a Headsplitter.

* [[Acquitted Too Late]]: Sparky jokes around with the [[Hero Unit]] about this.

'''Sparky:''' YES! A pardon from the Queen! }}

* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Sparky is easily the most cheerful member of the Drowning Doom.

[[File:brood-001_7859.png|frame]]

An evil pram (baby stroller) that launches baby dolls that munch on infantry or severely damage cars.

[[File:reaper-001_3002.png|frame]]

A [[Grim Reaper]] sporting big headphones and the Drowning Doom crest, riding on an undead [[Hellish Horse|Reaper Steed.]] They are expensive and have low health. But they move very fast and their attacks are unblockable, making them good for guarding an area from [[Hero Unit|HeroUnits]], or attacking lone units of any kind. During their Double Team, you can ride with them, creating a scary aura that causes enemy infantry to flee in a panic, allowing other units to close in.

[[File:Dirgible-001_4259.png|frame]]

The ultimate Drowning Doom debuffer, it lowers defense. It is a dirigible with an unseen, mysterious dead guy inside who whipsers and spreads his own crematory ashes across the battlefield. Around it, the land seemingly rots and decays. It doubles as a healing unit when it's urns are dropped on friendly units.

* [[Punny Name]]: Its name is a combination of a dirigible(blimp) and a dirge, a depressing song.

* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: This unit causes some hilarious reactions from opposing players. They act depressed. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Even Doviculus.]]

'''Doviculus, Defense Down:''' It's YOUR fault, Minions! YOU'RE the reason we're going to lose today! }}

* [[Walking Wasteland]]: The land turns to dead desert clay around it.

[[File:treeback-001_2856.png|frame]]

A giant zombie with a tree on it's back that houses [[Just for Pun|murderous crows.]] The crows are anti-infantry, but when double teaming the giant rises from the ground and has powerful melee attacks.

* [[Cool Mask]]

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Emperor [[Big Bad|Doviculus]]. Dear sweet [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]], ''[[Let's You and Him Fight|Emperor]] [[Mundane Solution|Doviculus.]]''

* [[Depraved Bisexual]]

* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: "Your motion pleases me."

* [[Hero Unit]]: To the Tainted Coil.

* [[Large Ham]]: And how!

* [[Make My Monster Grow]]: The final battle.

* [[Medieval Stasis]]: So bad that Doviculus [[Crowning Moment of Funny|thinks cars are living things.]]

"Tell me your secrets, automobile!" }}

** [[Fridge Horror]]: The cars the Coil has manufactured ''[[Body Horror|are alive]]''.

* [[Only a Flesh Wound]]: "You think that hurt me?! I've had more limbs removed than that!"

* [[Plaguemaster]]: The Curse and Agony Boil solos count. Agony Boil ''infects the ground.''

* [[Playing with Syringes]]: His Summon Flag is a syringe. In the single player, it can produce units.

* [[Poisonous Person]]

'''Battle Nun'''

A latex clad demonic nun with the power to give birth to demons in the middle of the battlefield. When not being impregnated by the will of their emperor, Battle Nuns are proficient melee units which heal and are strengthened by any non-breeding units near them.

'''Warfather'''

Tainted Coil's tier 2 production unit, the Warfather shares the same double team as Battle Nuns and Overblessers: being impregnated by Doviculus' will and producing tier 2 units anywhere on the battlefield. Their regular attacks are demonic energy fired from their unholy book. Has a similar healing/buffing effect as Battle Nuns.

'''Skull Raker'''

A massive demon with the mind of an infant. Its head is a mace, chained to a tether on its neck.

'''Pain Lifter'''

A slow but deadly, long range trebuchet that fires living bombs called Agony Balls, which burst, spreading poison.

'''Overblesser'''

The metal demon Eddie used to depart the Temple of Ormagoden. This time, a demonic priest sporting garb [[The Pope]] would wear sits atop it. He has the power to breed a Superior Warfather, making even better units.

'''Hate Cage'''

Actually two different creatures. One is a massive pair of legs. Between them is a cage with a living lump of pure hate. It spits liquid hate on enemies, lowering defense. Unfortunately, they are the worst unit in the game: their cost is high, their health is low, and by the time they have entered the fray, they will have taken serious damage before they can get a hand into the battle. If you see somebody build one, it means they're showing off. (They still look cool after all...)

'''Heart Cutter'''

A massive, disturbing vehicle with an anti-vehicle attack. The car serves as a massive altar in which one of the Tainted Coil druids stands with his sword beside a giant, pulsing heart. When the druid stabs it, massive spikes rise up from the ground, impaling infantry or cars, causing severe damage to cars especially. During the Double Team, Doviculus allows his own heart to be stabbed. But he remarks "Don't worry. It's not MY heart..."

'''Bleeding Death'''

A combination of the final Tainted Coil unit and final attack, it is violently stuffed into an iron maiden and then launched anywhere on the battlefield, where it goes on a rampage, refusing to follow orders until it slowly bleeds to death.

* [[The Reveal]]: "[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Well! It's about fucking time!]]"

* [[Watch the Paint Job]]: It's not even his car, but man does he get pissed at Eddie.

=== '''Lionwhyte''' ===

[[File:fletus-001_7424.png|frame]]

''Oh yeah. My people have been doing it for years...EXCEPT WE MADE THEM FAST!'' }}

[[File:Kabbage-Boy-001_5391.png|frame]]

The band that Eddie works for in the intro, Kabbage Boy is a "Second Wave of American Tween Melodic Rap Metalcore" group that does "Heavy Metal", as they put it. They are killed by Ormagoden when Eddie accidentally summons him.
