{{quote|that's what's so great about Crawl: every time, you don't even have rage at the chance of the heavens to sustain you; you know, with a cold certainty something like that of a priest who has lost his faith in God, that your death was caused by none other than yourself, and that a better man could have avoided it.|'''<nrook>''', as quoted by the [[Dungeon Crawl]] knowledge bots under "fair."}}

* [[Evil Is Easy]]: Played straight with the gods. See [[God of Evil]] below.

* [[Excuse Plot]]: The main plot is literally a one-liner.

* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: Jellies. They eat any item they touch, except stones. This also means that they eat anything you throw or fire at them. AND it heals them. You'd better hope those arrows you're wasting are doing more damage than the jelly is gaining from eating them.

* [[The Fair Folk]]: while the elves in the game are clearly Tolkien-ish, there is a spriggan race (based on the mythological Cornish fairy of the same name) that keeps all its fair-folk features. Most notably the lack of wings.

* [[Good Hurts Evil]]: Reciting Zin's scripts in front of certain evil creatures often results in this.

* [[Good News, Bad News]]: The bad news come first, and the good news are hardly comforting:

* [[Good Thing You Can Heal]]: Inversion: Deep Dwarves have a damage shaving feature that reduces all damage they take, but they [[Blessed with Suck|can't regain HP by themselves.]] They will need magical devices, potions, divine help or magic to heal. People don't play a whole lot of [[Red Shirt|Deep Dwarf Fighters]].

* [[Gradual Regeneration]]: Mostly played straight - as in most Roguelikes, characters in Dungeon Crawl regenerate their hit points and magic points over time. The deep dwarf race avert this by not being able to heal naturally.
