'''Alignment:''' [[Lawful Evil]] }}

 

* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: He's the son of human warlord Ariakas and the goddess Zeboim.

* [[Noble Demon]]: In complete contrast to his father Ariakan is presented as a much more sympathetic and, yes noble figure. He's still fully dedicated to conquering the world mind you.

* [[Deal with the Devil]]: He tries to lure souls that are passing on through the Gate of Souls to him by promising them that he will give them the power to take care of any unfinished business they had on Krynn. Any soul who accepts usually finds themselves turned into an undead creature in his service, or trapped in his domain in the Abyss.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Majere, who preaches faith in High God's plans for cosmic order. In contrast, Chemosh preaches that existence is chaotic and meaningless.

* [[Flat Earth Atheist]]: He encourages his followers to preach that there is no afterlife, and that the only way to survive death is to become an undead creature.

* [[Idiot Ball]]: He was holding it for a while during the Dark Disciple Trilogy when {{spoiler|he was grieving over the "death" of Mina when he sees her "spirit", but he does not even bother to check and see if the "spirit" is real or not. It takes his [[The Brute|brute]] Death Knight subordinate to point out to him that since he is the God of Death, he should be able to tell if Mina's spirit is real or not, once he realizes that Mina's spirit is just an illusion made by two Wizards, he is not amused. Even so in the end he ends up becoming stubborn and pushing her away. Nuitari even lampshades this.}}

* [[Dirty Coward]]: He is a coward at heart.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Shinare.

* [[Greed]]

* [[Satan]]: He is not the head evil deity, but his motif of corrupting mortals through [[Faustian Pacts]] and he can manifest as the stereotypical appearance of Satan (red guy with horns and a tail) as one of his Aspects.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Mishakal.

* [[Evil Tower of Ominousness]]: His Bronze Tower.

* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Envy is his domain.

* [[Loners Are Freaks]]: He is by far the least social evil deity. He mostly keeps to himself and is said to suffer from a madness only deities can have.

* [[Evil Matriarch]]

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Paladine.

* [[Gender Bender]]: Her Dark Warrior form is sometimes described as male, but is female in ''Dragons of Summer Flame''. Of course, since she's a deity she probably doesn't really ''have'' a gender as mortals understand it and just looks like whatever she wants.

* [[God of Evil]]

=== Civilized Humans ===

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: They are often prejudiced toward non-humans.

* [[Humans Are Flawed]]

* [[Humans Are White]]: Averted; most of the northern ethnic groups have dark skin. Most of the main characters of the novels ''are'' white, though.

* [[Elves Versus Dwarves]]

* [[Evil Counterpart Race]]: The dark dwarves.

* [[Mighty Glacier]]

* [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]]: Hill and mountain dwarves play this trope straight. Dark dwarves, on the other hand, take the dwarven stereotypes and twist them to evil.

* [[Enslaved Elves]]: The green dragon Cyan Bloodbane tries to enslave the Silvanesti, but the Companions drive him off. But then the Silvanesti and Qualinesti basically enslave their own kin, the Kagonesti.

* [[Evil Counterpart Race]]: The Mahkwahb are the evil counterparts to the Dargonesti sea elves.

* [[Fragile Speedster]]

* [[Hidden Elf Village]]: All of the elf races are reclusive to some degree, but the Silvanesti are the worst.
