{{quote|''You love being STRONG. You are so strong, you would surely be the class of the elite legion of RUFFIANNIHILATORS. And while such a calling would be quite honorable, you would prefer to join the ranks of the ARCHERADICATORS, perhaps the most noble echelon the imperial forces have to offer. Unfortunately, you SUCK AT ARCHERY. You have not successfully fired a SINGLE ARROW. Every time you try, you BREAK THE BOW. You are simply too strong. You have broken so many bows, it has developed into a habit BORDERING ON FETISHISTIC. You have to stop. But addiction is a powerful thing. ''}}
A traditionalist troll who staunchly believes in upholding the noble customs and beliefs attributed to [[Blue Blood|his blood colour]].
In Sburb, he is the
He has filed three [[Weapon of Choice|STRIFE SPECIBI]] in his STRIFE PORTFOLIO: [[Good Old Fisticuffs|FISTKIND ABSTRATUS]], [[The Archer|BOWKIND ABSTRATUS]] and [[Destroyable Items|1/2BOWKIND ABSTRATUS]].

----
* [[The Archer]]: In keeping with the Sagittarius theme, considers the bow a dignified weapon of the upper classes. He even begins every line with a symbolic bow and arrow: D -->. He's actually terrible at archery, though, to the point where he's never successfully fired an arrow.
Line 25 ⟶ 23:
** JUMPED INTO HIS GATE. PUNCHED AN OGRE'S HEAD OFF. YEAH HE'S BADASS.
** This exchange.
{{quote|<span style{{=}}"color
<span style{{=}}"color
<span style{{=}}"color
<span style{{=}}"color
* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: His weapon of choice is his [[Good Old Fisticuffs|bare hands]].
* [[Battle Couple]]: With Aradia for a while.
Line 36 ⟶ 34:
* [[Blue Blood]]: Figuratively and literally (indigo, to be precise). He looks down on those from the lower classes.
* [[Combat Medic]]: He's frighteningly STRONG, but at the same time, he's kept the more unlucky trolls patched up with robot prosthetics, including Vriska's arm, Tavros' legs, and Aradia's soulbot.
* [[The Comically Serious]]:
* [[Cultured Warrior]]: He collects fine art (or at least what ''he'' considers to be fine art), has an appreciation for nature, and displays a penchant for slam poetry. If you piss him off, however, he will literally punch your head off.
** He also objects to 100d language, leading to [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]].
* [[Death by Irony]]: He wants so badly to be an archer, but he always breaks the bows. So naturally [[Ax Crazy]] Gamzee brings him to his knees with an arrow, then kills him with a broken bow.
* [[A Death in the Limelight]]
* [[Does Not Know His Own Strength]]: He's terrible at archery due to always breaking the bows and he [[And Call Him George|bruises his lusus]] (''one of the strongest creatures on the planet'') when trying to give him "a grateful pat, as gently as possible" for bringing him a glass of milk. Also, he can't drink without breaking the glass.
* [[Erotic Asphyxiation]]: He starts grinning as he's being strangled to death by Gamzee. He's always had "bloodshot bags" under his eyes (petechia, for those who love [[Forensic Drama]]s), which is probably a hint he doesn't mind his killbots going for the neck.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: Memetically, thanks to fan association with Nicholas Cage. However, in-universe, he's mostly seen as an intensely creepy pervert by everyone but Nepeta and possibly Aradia.
Line 53 ⟶ 51:
* [[A Glass in the Hand]]: Happens ''every time'' he picks up any glass because he is so STRONG.
* [[Gonk]]: Has mouthful of broken teeth, blue circles under his eyes that are often visible even underneath his sunglass, frequently sweats profusely and in the Alterniabound segments his hair is particularly stringy-looking. Needless to say he's probably the least attractive of the trolls.
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]:
* [[Got Me Doing It]]: He makes horse puns when flustered, much like Nepeta does with cats.
* [[Good Old Fisticuffs]]: And he's a bit grudging about it, given his preference for archery. But [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]...
Line 59 ⟶ 57:
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: He gets mad pretty easily, which is why he builds robots. He needs something to take his anger out on.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: He is, of all things, a pretty good rapper. He even wins a rap battle with Dave (though Dave wasn't taking it super seriously). There's also his [[Like Brother and Sister|moriallegiance]] with Nepeta and his hobby of making robots.
* [[Honor Before Reason]] / [[Internalized Categorism|Internalized Classism]] / [[Love Martyr]]: Even though he wants to stop Gamzee and save his friends, and he's STRONG enough to [https://web.archive.org/web/20110625063207/http://www.formspring.me/mspadventures/q/158881785575405344 easily snap the bowstring with his neck muscles], doesn't even try to resist when Gamzee strangles him to death because of his STRONG belief in highb100d supremacy.
** [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005331 And this is how reacts upon learning of Gamzee's killing spree]:
* [[In a Single Bound]]: STRONGJUMP!
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: He may be a racist asshole, but it's hard to really hate him when his obscene strength prevents him from doing pretty much anything. Plus he's still racist in situations where it doesn't benefit him or even goes against his interests. And he does question it sometimes, and it's almost more like a fetish for him.
Line 67 ⟶ 65:
* [[Joke Character]]: [[Word of God]] himself confirms this. Introduced with his "[[Porn Stash|Fine Art]]" and died as a [[Senseless Sacrifice]].
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Godspeed, you lovable deviant bastard.
* [[Kneecapping]]: Gamzee forces him to [[Kneel Before Zod|kneel]] by shooting him in the knee with an arrow.
* [[Leitmotif]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922112305/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/horschestra-strong-version Horschestra]
* [[Looks Like She Is Enjoying It|Looks Like He Is Enjoying It:]] Rare example that it is [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005346 without sound,] but [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005347 still] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005348 apparent.]
* [[Macho Camp]]: The author has associated him with [[Up to Eleven|incredibly]] [[Fetish Fuel|eroticized]] [[Hard Gay|masculine imagery]] since his first full appearance, mostly [[Played for Laughs|for comedic purposes]] or to deliberately [[Squick]] out fans. Of course, he's bi like all trolls.
Line 75 ⟶ 73:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Equus is Latin for horse. Zahhak is a villain in Iranian folklore, who has an older name that means "[he who has] 10,000 horses". He's also known as "Aži Dahāka" in more ancient folklore, a name derived from the Avestan word for "serpent," which would roughly translate his full name to "Horse Serpent." [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004079 Think on that for a moment.]
** He's the Heir of Void, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|now devoid of air]].
* [[Mythology Gag]] / [[Creator
{{quote|"He was always the troll personification of everything like Humanimals I ever did and put on the internet. [...] I used to do all sorts of weird stuff, reviewing obscene furry pornography, making weird collages involving horses, and just a whole lot of bizarre shit that didn't make much sense, but I thought was funny. The whole span of these endeavors was quite trollish in nature[...] The fact that it puts some people off is part of what makes it funny. So Equius was that entire arena of trollish content, rolled into a character."}}
* [[Never Got to Say Goodbye]]: He's ''very'' upset that Aradia only said goodbye to Sollux before she exploded, hence why he makes it a point to say goodbye to Nepeta before confronting Gamzee.
Line 82 ⟶ 80:
* [[Overprotective Dad]]: He seems to have something similar going on with Nepeta. Most notably, he doesn't want her to talk to the "lower-class" trolls (based on blood colour, of all things), and she feels the need to ask his permission before playing Sgrub.
* [[Pet the Dog]]:

** Later, we find out [[Furry Fandom|exactly what he means by "looked upon with adoration"]].
** His deceptively NON-abusive relationship with Aurthour might count as this also.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130717100933/http://mspachan.net/artarch/src/12898624368.png And he prevented Nepeta from playing FLARP, which could've gotten her killed by his neighbor.]
** Also, he sets aside his racism to build a pair of robot legs for Tavros, who is near the bottom of the blood spectrum.
* [[Possession Implies Mastery]]: Averted with bowkind, played straight with fistkind and ½bowkind ([[Don't Explain the Joke|because his freakish strength makes him good at breaking bows]] ([http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004727 and killing things with broken bows]).
* [[Power of the Void]]: Equius' mythological role is the Heir of Void, which may or may not have this trope in effect. Darkleer, his ancestor, was naturally surrounded by a void in Doc Scratch's
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Equius considers swearing beneath him, but that doesn't stop him from dropping an F-Bomb when he [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004178 realizes] that Aradia, who is at the very bottom of the blood hierarchy, has authority over him as his server player.
* [[Pungeon Master]]: Starts making horse puns by the dozens when flustered.
Line 99 ⟶ 97:
* [[Sinister Shades]]: Broken ones, at that, because he is too strong to ever put them on without breaking them
* [[Sleeves Are for Wimps]]
* [[Sunglasses
* [[Super Strength]]: He can't fire arrows because he always breaks the bows, and he's capable of destroying robots with his bare hands.
* [[Testosterone Poisoning]]: He loves being STRONG, [[Does Not Know His Own Strength]], wears a muscle-exposing tanktop and unleashes his aggression by beating the shit out of killer robots.
Line 108 ⟶ 106:
* [[Unfortunate Names]]: Albeit one he picked himself, for [[Furry Fandom|obvious reasons]].
* [[Undignified Death]]: Why on earth is he [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005347 smiling] as he is [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005348 strangled to death]?!
** On the other hand, Hussie maintains that Equius "died a death of supreme integrity." Which is
*** "He died as he lived: Sweaty and inappropriately turned on."
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: The only safe outlet for his anger is beating up robots inside a steel cage.

----
* [[The Aggressive Drug Dealer]]: Acts as one by the time he meets Jane, trying to push her to buy "potions" that [[The Secret of Long Pork Pies|suspiciously bear the same (blood) colors and promised traits as the dead trolls]]. Answer however you want, [[But Thou Must!]] buy them from him.
Line 139 ⟶ 136:
** [[Funny Afro]]: More or less.
* [[A Love to Dismember]]: He was romantically interested in Tavros and dismembers his corpse, sporadically kissing his severed head and saving the body for over three years.
* [[
* [[Ascended Extra]]: His solo appearances that weren't as part of the [[Cast Herd]] prior to going crazy can be counted on your hands.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: His [[Face Heel Turn]] in Act 5 Act 2 single-handedly turned the trolls' asteroid into a slasher flick. [[Heel Face Turn|He got better]] before the end of the act, though he's still pretty nuts.
Line 156 ⟶ 153:
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Drops swears incredibly often (mainly "Motherfucker", and any derivative of it).
* [[Comedic Heroic Sociopath]]: While he's both sober and good, he skirts around on this line. Namely, he camly throws the corpses of Tavros and Vriska into Jane's Sprite in order to help her out. While she screams her lungs out.
* [[Confusion Fu]]: His Jokerkind Strife Deck gives him access to any weapon he carries, so he's pretty unpredictable, though he never uses a weapon twice. Nobody is quite sure what he did to The Black King that messed him up so badly either.
* [[Cool Bike]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004374 A rocket unicycle.] He never uses it but it does exist.
* [[Cooldown Hug|Cool Down Shoosh-Pap]]: Gets [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005986 a very comforting one] from Karkat. As moirails, Karkat continues to be a stabilizing influence on Gamzee.
* [[Cute and Psycho]]: His quiet personality, the one that speaks in lowercase, is cheerful and polite, but is still equally as psychotic as the loud personality.
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Which is what makes him an especially good [[The Chessmaster|Chessmaster]].
* [[The Ditz]]
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: His usual personality. He's pretty chill with the fact that Sollux died. When he's talking in lower case, he's pretty much chill with everything including his desire to murder everyone he knows.
* [[Easily Forgiven]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005996 At least by Karkat]. Kanaya still wants to murder him however.
* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: Or at least, typing style switch. When sober, mOtHeRfUcKiNg MiRaClEs to alternating between all lowercase THEN GOING ALL MOTHERFUCKIN CAPS KARKAT STYLE.

* [[Eye Take]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005422 Shared with Vriska] in surprise to...[[Crowning Moment of Funny|someone]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|walking.]]
* [[Face Heel Revolving Door]]: Gamzee has gone crazy, become sane again, and currently seems to be crazy again. He's also been suggested to be working with Doc Scratch and Lord English, and is very fond of Cal.
* [[Faith Heel Turn]]: Seen [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005927 here].
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Gamzee's God Tier Bard of Rage outfit has been referred to as "Cod Tier", after it's notable codpiece.
* [[Flash Step]]: [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005618 Rivals] [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005620 Dirk] [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005621 in this] [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005622 regard.]
* [[Friendly Enemy]]:

* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]: "Gamzee" is a real-world Turkish name that means "Dimple".
** [[Gender Blender Name]]: And it's typically a female name at that.
* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]
Line 187 ⟶ 184:
* [[I Ate What?]]: Likes to sneak tastes of SOPOR SLIME PIE, which shouldn't be eaten by trolls. In his case it's a good thing as it kept his split personalities merged.
* [[Impossibly Tacky Clothes]]: Lampshaded by Jane when she see his "[[Fan Nickname|Cod Tier]]" outfit, which includes a polka dot, peaked, clown hat/hood and the ostentatious codpiece from ''[[Mythology Gag|Bard Quest]]''.
* [[In the Blood]]: While crazy, he follows the path of the Subjuggulators like the Grand Highblood more closely.
* [[Inventory Management Puzzle]]: He doesn't understand how it works, nor does he care to learn. He just captchalogues stuff to watch the lights. He deserves points for being the first character to use [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003923 the most obvious solution] for such an abstract modus.
* [[Irony]]: Unlike the rest of the trolls his personality is the polar opposite of his zodiac
* [[Juggalo]]: The troll analogue/parody of one. Dirk lampshades this by finding the idea of an alien Juggalo ridiculous.
* [[Kneel Before Zod]]
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: He kills a troll nicknamed "centaursTesticle," then Kanaya appears, and [[Groin Attack|nut shots him]]!
* [[Leitmotif]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922120015/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/miracles mIrAcLeS] and later [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922052033/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/blackest-heart Blackest] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922112045/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/blackest-heart-with-honks Heart].
** Even just honking in general is very associated with Gamzee.
* [[Lethal Joke Character]]: He seems harmless enough, but [[Noodle Incident|apparently what he did to the]] [[Eldritch Abomination|Black King]] [[Noodle Incident|in the troll session]] was the single most damaging move in the battle, outweighing even [[Munchkin|Vriska's]] final blow.
** During Act 5 Act 2, his descent into insanity slowly showcased the development of him going from Joke to just plain Lethal.

* [[Madness Mantra]]:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Makara is the Indian equivalent of Capricorn.
** Makara means blessed. He is a self proclaimed [[Dark Messiah]].
Line 212 ⟶ 209:
* [[Mind Rape]]: His innate psychic power due to his indigo blood is to insert things into people's subconscious, usually in the form of hatred, which also makes said thing real in their [[Dream World]]. He's done this twice that we've seen, which instilled a fear of clowns in John (creating the Imp Doll in his tower on Prospit) and a fear of puppets in Dave (creating Cal in his tower on Derse). He was not shown using his power on Rose or Jade, suggesting that they might have some immunity to this power. However, seeing as he essentially never interacted with them it may just not have occurred to him to do so.
** [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]]: It's implied that with proper application of his powers, you can make a person go ''insane''.
* [[Modest Royalty]] / [[Rebel Prince]]: He's only a smidge away from Eridan and Feferi's castes, but he doesn't act or look like it and doesn't seem to care about blood
* [[Monster Clown]]: Looks the part, and collects posters of them. He also has juggling clubs, a unicycle and a load of horns. Subverted, however, due to his genial, friendly personality.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Suddenly appears for a second in the otherwise silly "[S] All: Behold the glory of [the Warhammer of] Zillyhoo" flash, appearing before Karkat just before Gamzee kills him. This was shown later to be an alternate timeline where Karkat never ran the ~ATH program that blew up his computer, which resulted in Gamzee killing everyone save Aradia, who went back in time and corrected the problem.
Line 223 ⟶ 220:
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: While insane.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Gamzee's lusus was never around to teach Gamzee ''anything.''
** [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Gamzee holds his lusus as he dies.
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Was before graduating to full fledged cast member.
* [[Power Copying]]: A God Tier Gamzee from some unknown timeline (possibly even the alpha timeline) stole Aradia's [[Magic Feather]] time crystals and gained the ability to travel in time too, just in time to visit Jane. Credit to him being the first person to actually think to do that.
Line 230 ⟶ 226:
* [[Reflective Eyes]]: Shown [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005119 here] fondly regarding Jadesprite's prototyping off the computer screen.

* [[Stoners Are Funny]]
* [[Suddenly Shouting]]: His trademark speech quirk when sober. The other characters even [[Lampshade Hanging|complain about it]].
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Subverted; he has ''two'' evil sides, and sort of has a [[The Lord of the Rings|Smeagol and Gollum]] type of thing going on. They're normally [[Split Personality Merge|merged together]] thanks to his constant consumption of sopor slime.
* [[Theme Naming]]: Gamzee's Zodiac sign is Capricorn.
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: How Karkat [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005996 cured] his [[Ax Crazy|ax craziness]].

He might just be the most pathetic out of all the trolls, since while even Tavros eventually got his robot legs and slightly less antagonism from Vriska, Eridan is still stuck with everyone thinking he's a tool.
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Averted when he reveals his flushed feelings for Feferi early on.

* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: Eridan goes from [http://i.imgur.com/Q4qKi.png this] to [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/03325.gif this] in SEVEN PAGES.
* [[Growing Up Sucks]]: A complaint he has at the end of his conversation with Kanaya.

* [[Harpoon Gun]]: Nothing less than [[Infinity+1 Sword|Ahab's Crosshairs]], which were seen earlier with the robot bunny. A miniaturized version, anyway.
** Used as a sort of [[Lightning Gun]] / [[Ray Gun]] however.
Line 358 ⟶ 353:
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Comboed with a [[Call Back]], [[Ludicrous Gibs]], and [[Half the Man He Used To Be]]. [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005435 Here.]
** [[Death by Irony]]: He white-laser-beams Kanaya through her midsection; in turn, she kills him by chainsawing through his torso.
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Killing off two of his fellow
* [[Knight Templar]]: His ulterior motives all hinge around the concept of hope, and he was planning on joining Jack because his friends would otherwise be doomed. But he takes this ''[[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|way]]'' [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|too far.]] He decides that hope is his to do with as he wishes. As such, he destroys the Matriorb, the troll race's only hope of further propagation.
* [[Large Ham]]: He deliberately attempts to craft an image for himself as a legendary conquerer through exaggerated emotional theatrics. But it backfires, people just think he's a tool.
* [[LARP|(F)LARP]]: Through his character Orphaner Dualscar.
* [[Les Collaborateurs|Le Collaborateur]]: Somewhat subverted in a sense, he doesn't seek to join Jack out of a desire to get revenge on his fellow Trolls, but rather thinks that it's the only way to survive.
* [[Leitmotif]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922111312/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/eridans-theme Eridan's Theme]
** Now with [http://youtu.be/Hx4MkLceyn0 lyrics from General Ivan.]
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Wielding white science to heroine Rose's black magic. Don't forget, light/dark symbolism is reversed for trolls.
* [[Looking for Love In All the Wrong Places]]: Eridan just can't win on any quadrant. Feferi [[Let's Just Be Friends|didn't really reciprocate his feelings]], Vriska just got bored of their rivalry, his attempts to start a new rivalry with Sollux are painfully obvious and fall flat, Rose responded to his clumsy flirtation by blowing up his computer, and Jade flatly only tolerated him long enough for him to leave her alone.
** Oh, ''and'' Terezi doesn't want to auspistice between him and Sollux, Karkat wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole, ''Equius'' is made uncomfortable by his advances (though in which quadrant, it's not specified), and his own client player Nepeta spectacularly failed to fall in love with him for saving her life in the same way Feferi did with Sollux.
* [[Love Hurts]]
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: Arguably. ''Killing Feferi'' seems to drive the point home, somehow.
Line 374 ⟶ 369:
** His FLARP character, Orphaner Dualscar, kills custodians to feed Feferi's lusus.
** His title of "Prince of Hope" was for the longest time considered ironic due to this eventual actions...until UU revealed that the "Prince of x" is "one who destroys x, or caUses destrUction throUgh x". In other words, Eridan is literally the Destroyer of Hope.
** The first part of his chumhandle ties not only into his role as [[The Caligula]] but also according to [[Word of God]] to his dark romantic obsessions [https://web.archive.org/web/20130309193653/http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40585720/Combined_Formspring_Web_Aug-28-2011.htm#mspadventures154128263025812338 via the caliginous quadrant].
* [[Multicolored Hair]]mOtHeRfUcKeR[[Skunk Stripe]]: A purple tuft in the middle. Though the fact that his hair has any color ''at all'' is pretty notable as far as trolls are
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: His planet. Anybody up for a trip to the Land of Wrath and Angels?
* [[Nerd Glasses]]
Line 381 ⟶ 376:
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: He killed the local game constructs of his world, and then kept doing so, enraging them and turning it into a [[Death World]] that the other trolls were araid to even set foot on.
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: He tells Feferi that, as the Prince of Hope, he is most qualified to tell them when there is not hope left for them, which leads to him attempting to try to join Jack.
* [[Not Good with Rejection]]: His reaction to Feferi breaking it off is just the start of his downward spiral.
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Much of his true dangerousness was hidden behind his status as a joke character, revolving around his repeated romantic failures and his self-absorbed blindness. According to [[Word of God]], this was deliberate to make his [[Face Heel Turn]] all the more stunning.
* [[Ominous Opera Cape]]
Line 393 ⟶ 388:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Couldn't you already tell from [[Harry Potter|the glasses, the scarf, or the lightning bolt-shaped horns and mark on his head?]] Oh, and he likes magic.
** Also, when you first see him for real, he's [[Moby Dick|Hunting a White Whale. With a gun named Ahab's Crosshairs.]]
** Could be a coincidence, but he ''is'' an [[Watchmen (comics)|egomaniac who wears purple and models himself after historical conquerors, who causes a huge, squidlike monster to give off a psychic shockwave that kills millions of people]]. And it turns out he's be a bad guy.
* [[Sure Why Not]]: The reason he has an interest in wizards is because of people comparing his appearance to [[Harry Potter]].
* [[Ted Baxter]]: While he's highly ranked in the hemospectrum, this seems to have colored ''everything'' about him. His Royal Blood means he knows best about everything, whether or not he ''actually'' has any clue whatsoever. For example, killing some of his planet's local game constructs until they were so fed up they were attacking him and any other troll who visited, despite them not dropping any grist. When Karkat calls him on that ''specific'' bit of idiocy, he agrees it was silly of him... then two sentences later he seems to have forgotten that lesson, and is talking about how hard it was to kill them and how he can't believe no one came to help him.
Line 401 ⟶ 396:
* [[Trigger Happy]]: Enough to keep killing some of his planet's local game constructs.
* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: Kills Feferi, his moirail for a long time, and Kanaya, who gave him his white science wand.
* [[Unsound Effect]]: His corpse gives off the word [
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Not as pronounced as Feferi, but being an aquatic troll, he occasionally uses "glub", too.
* [[Blue Blood|Violet Blood]]
* [[Warrior Prince]]: Not that this is especially unusual on Alternia, where ''everyone'' from the royalty down is raised to fight.
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Eridan offers Feferi the chance to join him to work under Jack Noir.
* [[Western Zodiac]]: Aquarius.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Possible, he seemed to have gone Grim Dark for a second much the same as Rose right before his murder spree kicked into overdrive.
* [[Who's Laughing Now?]]
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: Inverted. Eridan insists on his blackrom rivalry with Vriska, but the latter broke it off entirely and avoids him. And then, it's later revealed that they're not only destined to face each other again, but their ancestors in the past also had a similar relationship/confrontation as well. However, [[Anticlimax Boss|Kanaya breaks up the present confrontation and kills him.]]

{{quote|''"You would redefine what it means to be CULLED in troll society. Under your rule it would mean caring for the unfit and infirm rather than exterminating them, and you have put this idea into practice by CULLING THE FAUNA OF THE DEEP. You tend to wild and beautiful AQUATIC HOOFBEASTS, grooming and feeding them daily. You capture and cage CUTTLEFISH by the thousands for their own good, and also because they are funny and colorful and you love them. They often swim through the bars of their cages, but that is fine. You run your whole palace as a sort of WILDLIFE ADOPTION FACILITY, even if the wildlife's need for care is dubious at best, and the practice really just amounts to an elaborate ROLE PLAYING SCENARIO. It's still fun though."''}}

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Previously in a relationship with Eridan, a wannabe villain who later [[Face Heel Turn
** Subverted in Eridan's case: it was those very "bad boy" traits that eventually drove her away from him.
* [[Abusive Alien Parents|Abusive Alien Lusii]]: Arguably. Fef seems to have a real affection for her lusus but she's an [[Eldritch Abomination]] miles long, and can cause [[Apocalypse How|X-4 apocalypse]] if she gets extremely hungry and any voice above a whisper causes trolls to start dying. Though it's hardly Gl'bgolyb's fault that her voice just happens to be a [[Brown Note]] to trolls and she was more than willing to sacrifice her life to help Feferi to safety. This is in stark contrast to Vriska, who has a similar deal but her giant spider will make sure to put HER on the menu should she not keep the food on the table.
Line 435 ⟶ 428:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: She's very hard to piss off, but doing so makes her fly into a rage that can really only be stopped by ending her life. Fanon is currently running wild determining what exactly is going to happen to Eridan when he gets killed thanks to her being friends with the [[Eldritch Abomination|horrorterrors]]. Beyond that, she's easily the nicest troll, but even then you still have to put up with her being very unsettling at times.
* [[Conditioned to Accept Horror]]: More than most trolls, considering her lusus is the [[Eldritch Abomination]] that can kill the whole species if its voice ever gets above a whisper (and it does). Compared to that, [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004748 all the other Horror-Terrors Of The Furthest Ring are nothing.]
* [[Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?]]: Feferi has no issue with Horrorterrors at all. They're
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: Even as her friends start to split off into various [[Dwindling Party|parts of the lab]], Feferi seems oddly calm about the whole ordeal.
** She quite happily accepts her death and even has a casual conversation with Jade before just blurting out that she's dead.
Line 477 ⟶ 470:
* [[Prongs of Poseidon]]: The first kind.
* [[Pungeon Master]]: ''Loves'' fish-puns in particular.
