=== Characters for specific games: ===
* [[Disgaea Hour of Darkness/Characters|Disgaea Hour of Darkness]]
* [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories/Characters|Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories]]
* [[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice/Characters|Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]]
* [[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten/Characters|Disgaea 4 a Promise Unforgotten]]
Line 12:
Not actually a character per se, but still deserving of mention. Prinnies are exploding demon penguins who talk like [[Main/Surfer Dudes|Surfer Doods]] which serve as the primary labor force of the Netherworld (Though they exist in Celestia as well and are treated better there). Etna keeps a squadron of Prinnies with her at all times. In fandom, they have been upheld by fans as the unofficial mascots of the franchise, a position since adopted by the developers, [[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?|leading to their own spinoff game]]. All Prinnies contain the souls of sinners and criminals and, as such, are designated by the [[Powers That Be]] as the [[Butt Monkey|Butt Monkeys]] of the universe.
Tropes associated with prinnies:
Line 27:
* [[Mascot Mook]]
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]
* [[The Other Darrin]]: [[Grant George]] did the voice for the Prinnies from [[Disgaea Hour of Darkness]] to [[Makai Kingdom]]. Starting with [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]], [[Dave Wittenberg]] took over as the voice actor of the Prinnies until [[Trinity Universe (video game)|Trinity Universe]], where [[Grant George]] becomes his voice actor once again.
** Averted in Japanese, where their sole voice actor is Junji Majima, [[Hey, It's That Voice!|he of]] [[Toradora!|Ryuuji Takasu]] and [[Inazuma Eleven|Teres Tolue]] fame.
* [[Player Mooks]]
Line 74:
'''Pringer X'''
Take all the stats of Baal; and take out [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|any plot description]], and you get Pringer X. A Robot Prinny who tends to be even stronger than Baal and has slowly phased him out as final [[Bonus Boss]] in the series. Originally based on a [[Lethal Joke Character|joke]] Etna made in her [[Never Trust a Trailer|fake trailers]] in ''[[Disgaea Hour of Darkness]]'', Pringer X nevertheless made an actual appearance in ''[[Makai Senki Disgaea]]'' Episode 8, and became a true Bonus Boss in ''[[Phantom Brave]]''. While Etna has made cheap knockoffs in the [[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?|Prinny]] series called "Pringer Z", they aren't nearly as strong.
* [[Bonus Boss]]: Gained this position in ''[[Phantom Brave]]''.
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: He's only had plot description ''twice'' in the series: once in [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'s remake, where he was created by several of the bonus characters, and in [[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]], where apparently, according to Flonne, he is Great Flonzor X's rival.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Prior to ''[[Phantom Brave]]''.
* [[It Only Works Once]]: His evility, Special Skill Solved, makes it so that any special move used on Pringer X in a battle cannot be used a second time for any damage. This includes when there are multiple bodies. (The immunity is then given to all of them.)
Line 91:
Tropes Associated with Asagi:
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: The alternate mode in the sequel to [[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?]] in which you play as her in her Prinny form. Possibly the closest she'll ever get to becoming the main character.
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Her full name, as shown in both [[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?]] and it's sequel, is Asagi Asagiri.
* [[Bonus Boss]]: Specifically, the one Bonus Boss who has appeared in ''every'' NIS game since her initial appearance. Not even the mainstays like Laharl or Baal can boast this.
** Except in [[La Pucelle|La Pucelle: Ragnarok]].
Line 126:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Moreso in art that may or may not be canon. While it's by the original artist, but doesn't quite fit with the canon, although eating Usagi isn't exactly very nice.
** When recruited as [[DLC]] in ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]], Mao is scared of her or rather her legion of fans.
** As is Adell when recruited as [[DLC]] in the [[Updated Rerelease]] of ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]''. She is considered in the game as invincible as simply touching her would enrage the fanbase.
** Adell also appears to be a member of the fanbase.
*** In the [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]] manga, after leaving Laharl's employ after the fiasco with Etna, she's seen working at Netherworld City Hall, where Etna heads to try and get a title change to Overlord. When the title switch fails due to her not meeting any criteria, Etna contemplates trying to blackmail Pleinair, and we get this gem, which gets Etna to back down very quickly:
{{quote|Pleinair: How would you like to die socially? I'll delete you from all public records.}}
* [[Cute Mute]]: She actually did get a voice in her DLC in [[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]] and [[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]], but it's incredibly low. You'll have to turn off the BGM just to hear it.
