Dragon Their Feet: Difference between revisions

* Used in an odd sort of way in the sixth [[Fire Emblem]] game. Narshen more or less acts as [[Big Bad|Zephiel]]'s second in command, but is sort of a weasel and dies relatively early. However, Zephiel is always being followed by the priestess Idoun, {{spoiler|who ''is'' a literal dragon. After you kill Zephiel (the "normal" ending) you can go on to find that Zephiel was working ''for'' Idoun, but not being commanded by her, making each of them [[The Man Behind the Man]] to the other.}}

** In the seventh Fire Emblem, {{spoiler|either Lloyd or Linus becomes the final boss of the second act, depending on who died first.}}

* A common theme in ''[[Splinter Cell]]'' is that in the [[Big Bad]] and main instigator of the current problem is killed off in the penultimate mission, with the finale being something of a mop-up mission. In ''Splinter Cell'' it takes place in a [[DLC]], while in ''Double Agent'' it's a bonus level for achieving the full ending.

* This is fairly common in the ''[[Warcraft]]'' universe, especially in the [[World of Warcraft|MMO]].
