Introduced in Kid Icarus

Pit

From Kid Icarus: Uprising

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Voiced by: Minami Takayama (Brawl & Uprising; Japanese), Lani Minella (Brawl; English), Troy Lund (Uprising E3 Trailer; English), Antony del Rio (Uprising; English)

The leader of Palutena's personal guard: though he is young, he is the greatest warrior angel in Palutena's forces. While Pit has wings, they're just for decoration. Usually he can't fly—it's a bit of a touchy subject.

Tropes exhibited by Pit include:
  • 24-Hour Armor: He tells Magnus he never takes off his uniform. Even while bathing. Ew. Then again, this might be a case of Breaking the Fourth Wall, as most protagonists don't take their clothes off when they touch water.
  • Adorkable: At times.
  • Almighty Janitor: Granted he makes use of weapons when not all of his opponents do, but he's still a servant of the gods that takes them on and wins including his boss. Though this is only in terms of the Gods he's fighting against. In the idol text and dialog, he's mentioned to be Captain of the Guard.
  • And I Must Scream: In one chapter, he's stuck in a ring with no way to move or communicate with the outside world, and the only way to get help is to hope someone grabs the ring so he can control them. Pit was very lucky that Magnus didn't leave the ring behind.
  • The Archer: In all continuities, he is the archer by default.
  • Badass Adorable: He may not be able to fly on his own, but that hasn't stopped him from taking on entire armies by himself. In addition, he's literally gone through hell and back (as well as earth and space).
  • Bash Brothers: With Dark Pit, eventually.
  • Berserk Button: A bit of small example, but he's always ready to get angry when someone insults Palutena.
  • Bifurcated Weapon: His bow.
  • Big Eater: Pit eats a lot of food... as long as it isn't eggplants, tempuras or vegetables in general.
  • Big Freaking Gun: In the last battle in Uprising.
  • Bishie Sparkle: Pit sparkles when he does his little speech to Pandora before their battle in Uprising.
  • Black and White Morality: Because he's naive, Pit sees the world in black and white. Anyone who tries to harm the humans and kill millions of people are considered evil while those who have justice in their hearts are good. Naturally, he's called out on this view multiple times but refuses to change the view despite seeing Humans Are the Real Monsters and that most of the gods and goddesses are Jerkass Gods.
  • Body Horror: When Pit is turned into an eggplant or tempura, it comes off as this given that he only has legs and can't really fight back. To make matters worse, he can be eaten alive if he's a tempura. Being stuck in a ring. That is all.
  • Body Surf: In Chapter 18, Pit goes from a little girl, to a dog, to Magnus before he manages to reunite with his own body.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Pit constantly lampshades tropes and cliches about the game and its bosses, like how the title "Dark Lord" is overused and so on.
  • Break the Cutie:
    • Chapter 18. Pit's entire faith in Angel Land and fighting for justice is destroyed in a blink of an eye, the people that considered him Captain are now attacking him, and the Brainwashed and Crazy Palutena calls him a "puppet" and says she doesn't want to deal with him anymore. He gets over it (for the most part) in the next chapter, but it doesn't change the fact that those words will probably stick with him for a long time.
    • It gets worse. Chapter 19, Hades and Viridi constantly lay the smack down of insults on him and without Palutena to support him, Pit progressively gets quieter with the chapter (but he does get louder when he's asking Viridi if he's at the top of the tower yet). And then comes Chapter 20, where some of his insecurities are let lose as Palutena continues to berate him for being useless and naive. When he finally saves her from Chaos Kin though, he has to watch as her soul is ripped out of her and she turns to stone. And when he spends Chapter 21 trying to get it back and succeeds with the help of Dark Pit, Chaos Kin wanted to make sure Pit suffered and tried to take Dark Pit down with him. Pit's response is to dive in and save him causing his wings to burn up in the process. And even though Chapter 23 treats Pit's Sanity Slippage moment lightly, given what happened in the previous chapters, it's not hard to think he actually lost it.
  • Broken Angel: His wings burn up in Chapter 21, when he saves Dark Pit from Chaos Kin.
  • Buffy-Speak: "That sounds hurty."
  • Butt Monkey: In Uprising. Also Lampshaded.

Pit: "What is this, "Everybody Pick On Pit" day!?"

Palutena: "Listen to that swagger, you're toughened up nicely. Remember when you'd be like "I'm finished!" all the time?
Pit: "I... still say that... a lot..."

    • Averted in Of Myths and Monsters where you just turn into a ghost with a halo and float away.
    • Brought back in Uprising's death screen, complete with the original 8-Bit text and music.
    • He also says "Prepare to meet the light" a number of times in Uprising.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Whenever Pit is talking to himself, he comes up with the strangest things imaginable. He even impersonates Palutena and Viridi at one point.
  • Colonel Badass: There are multiple references in the game that Pit is one of the higher-ups in Palutena's army. He also notes during the Chaos Kin arc, when replacement Mission Control Viridi acts like he's enlisted under her and commands him to clean latrines, that he's a commissioned officer. Possibly a Four-Star Badass instead; it's not shown if anyone besides Palutena outranks Pit.
  • Cool Crown: Wears a Laurel Crown in Of Myths and Monsters, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Uprising.
  • Covert Pervert:
    • If this conversation in Uprising is any indication.

Palutena: I can also see what's in your heart.
Pit: Oh... heh heh. That's really... something...
Palutena: So you'd better not be thinking of anything... naughty.
Pit: What?! How did you--
Palutena: Just kidding! Seriously, reading hearts through laurel crowns?
Pit: I know... I was... also kidding...

  • Deadpan Snarker
  • Death Is Cheap: He and all of Palutena's army are revived when they die. Unlike the Centurions, Pit is not weak because he has a motivation to toughen up: protect Lady Palutena.
  • Determinator: Pit never gives up. Not even when the world is in ruins, Palutena has become Brainwashed and Crazy, and he's been trapped in a ring for three years.
  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: It's his job description!
  • Empty Eyes: When Pit's soul left his body, in Chapter 18 of Uprising. In-real life example, Nintendo uses Pit's soulless body in their Uprising page.
  • Extreme Omnivore: According to Palutena, this angel will eat anything... especially the unusual stuff.

Pit: "FLOOR ICE CREAM GIVES YOU HEALTH!"

  • The Fighting Narcissist: Pit brags about his appearance sometimes.
  • Finishing Each Other's Sentences: Leads to Pit and Dark Pit finishing a motto together in Chapter 21.
  • Funny Background Event: Whilst Dyntos is discussing how he added more monsters than necessary to Palutena at the end of Chapter 24, Pit is flying the Great Sacred Treasure in the background... only to then crash on the ground.
  • Genre Savvy: Very much so in Uprising, to the point where he kind of expects what happens next. And even when Magnus tells him not to open a chest because it's a trap, Pit simply says he can't help himself.
  • Go Mad From the Isolation: Starts to show shades of this in chapter 23. He even points out that he needs to escape before he goes crazy.
  • The Hero
  • Heroic RROD: He nearly dies saving Dark Pit from Chaos Kin, and manages to do so... at the cost of Pit's wings burning up when he catches him. He's out of commission for Chapter 22 as a result.
  • Hot-Blooded: And how!
    • Idiot Hero: And everyone knows it, even him. Of course, he's much smarter than your typical protagonist, since the game's definition of idiot is more "naïve" than "stupid".
  • Incorruptible Pure Pureness: The physical manifestation of his "dark side" is neutral at worst.
  • In the Name of the Moon: Pit does this a whole lot in complete adoration to all that is Palutena and light beating darkness, and even his special idol description says that he practiced to make one. Parodied a few times as well. Special mention goes to an over-the-top sequence that even has him sweep his hair with Bishie Sparkle.

Palutena: *Deadpan* What was that all about?

You shut your mouth, Medusa! Lady Palutena is nothing like you! Who turns people to stone? Who poisons rivers? Who reduces cities to rubble? And who is leading the Underworld invasion of the land and heavens?! Not Lady Palutena! You're the one responsible for all this, Medusa!

Pit: Yeah! A treasure box!
Magnus: That's clearly a trap. Think about it. Who would leave treasure just lying about outside?
Pit (at player's behest): *Opens treasure box. Monsters appear.*
Magnus: What is wrong with you?
Pit: If there's a treasure box, I open it! I can't help it!
Magnus: OK, we'll see how long you'll survive with that strategy!

Palutena: He embarrasses easily.

Palutena: Goddess of Light

"Despite the Underworld Invasion the people haven't given up hope!"

Voiced by (in Uprising): Aya Hisakawa (JP), Ali Hillis (EN)

The goddess of light and ruler of Skyworld, Palutena goes to great lengths to protect her people, and those who dwell on the surface lands below.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • And I Must Scream: She suffered under the Chaos Kin's control for three years, being unable to control her body while her soul was constantly under threat of being consumed.
  • Badass:
    • Badass Damsel: Despite being a Goddess, she is not immune to being captured, as seen in the first game and Of Myths and Monsters. However, when she's not in need of rescuing, she provides all the information Pit needs before and during missions. She's also shown to be very powerful when she puts her mind to it, such as in Palutena's Revolting Dinner.
      • You want to know how badass she is? She's the boss of Chapter 20 (possessed, but still).
  • Bathtub Scene: In the beginning of Palutena's Revolting Dinner, Pt. 2, AND HOW!
  • Beauty Equals Goodness
  • Beware the Nice Ones
  • Big Eater: Judging by her banter with Pit, during which she'll randomly talk about everything from the great meal they could make out of the Kraken to Phoenix eggs making wonderful omelets.
  • Big Good
  • Blunt Metaphors Trauma: Well, she insists she always gets those sayings correct, so maybe not.
  • Boss Banter: In Uprising with Pit.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: During the Chaos Kin arc in Uprising.
  • Cain and Abel: The Abel to Medusa's Cain.
  • Cool Crown
  • Curtains Match the Window
  • Deadpan Snarker
  • Extreme Omnivore: Similar to Pit, it's implied she'll eat anything. She even makes jokes about how the idea of Pit being turned to a crisp from the lightning might sound delicious, she would pull him out of the area where the lightning struck.
  • The Gadfly
  • Genki Girl: If her special anime short and her constant teasing with Pit are anything to go by, she's just a bit like this. Of course, this makes her look less heavenly than previously envisioned.
  • God of Good
  • Good Is Not Nice: According to the other Gods and Goddesses, Palutena isn't really the nicest of them all as Pit makes her out to be. Given that she is a Troll, and some of her actions are questionable, it's not hard to see why everyone is wary of her. It makes sense when you consider she's based on Athena... who has done many... cruel things in Greek myths.
  • Green Eyes
  • King of All Cosmos: She can certainly dip into this, and many other characters tend to point out when she screws up/teases too much/acts hypocritical. Her apotheosis of this is seen whenever she cooks.
  • Lethal Chef: Figuratively and literally in Palutena's Revolting Dinner. Though nothing in the short actually suggests she's a bad chef. Just a little too easily distracted while handling powerful potions.
  • Light'Em Up
  • Light Is Good
  • Light Is Not Good: When possessed by the Chaos Kin.
  • "Ma'am" Shock: Dislikes it so, even if the lifespan of gods is implied to be eternal.
  • Mama Bear: Toward Pit. If Chapter 21 and Chapter 22 aren't evident enough. In Viridi's own words in Chapter 18, she was willing to cheat death in order to save Pit in Chapter 22.
  • Mission Control: Until Chapter 18, when she becomes Brainwashed and Crazy, leaving Viridi to fill her position. Fortunately, it's not permanent.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: After being saved from the Chaos Kin, the expression she has clearly says this. Especially when Pit nearly gives up his life for Dark Pit, burning his wings up in the process.
  • Mysterious Waif: Interestingly, her rare AR card idol mentions that her history and motivations are little known. Even in Uprising she gets some questions that she doesn't answer truthfully.
  • Not So Above It All: For a goddess who rules over a mystical land, she sure doesn't act like it, if Uprising or the tie-in animes are any indication.
  • Opaque Nerd Glasses: She does this trope in one scene, but you're most likely going to miss them since you're busy blasting enemies away. Alternatively, she does use them in two extra tutorial's artwork (if you bothered to watch the How To Play videos, that is). If that's the case, here is a lovely photo of it.
  • Pimped-Out Dress: In Smash Bros Brawl and Uprising.
  • Plucky Comic Relief
  • Requisite Royal Regalia
  • She's Got Legs
  • The Smart Girl: She's one of the smartest Goddesses out there, according to the others. And it shows: she has information on (almost) every single enemy, and she's very rational in comparison to the other Gods. This makes sense, as Palutena is based on Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom.
  • Staff of Authority
  • Taken for Granite:
    • In Of Myths and Monsters when Orcos kidnapped her at the end.
    • Also during Uprising, although she did it to herself, as revealed by Petrified Palutena's idol.
  • Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
  • The Tease: She loves teasing Pit sometimes. Other times, she's just plain trolling.
  • Troll: Uprising has her messing with Pit non-stop. Her pranks range from not warning Pit when she's going to speed his wings up to deliberately using him as bait to lure out one of the Hewdraw heads.
  • You Gotta Have Green Hair

Medusa: Goddess/Queen of Darkness

"So hurry to me Pit, I'll strip you of your wings and sever you from the heavens forever."

Voiced by (in Uprising): Naomi Shindo (JP), Cree Summer (EN)

Known for her serpentine hair and chilling gaze, Medusa's goal is nothing less than total domination.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Zeus

"Your training is complete."

A friendly god who aids Pit either by testing him in exchange for gifts, raising his strength, or raising his health bar.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Twinbellows

A devil dog with two heads. Its body is wrapped in fire and spits out bullets of magma energy.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Hewdraw

Hewdraw (Blue Head): "Hello there!"'
Hewdraw (Purple Head): "It's snack time!"
Hewdraw (Violet Head):"Mm! What a tender little morsel!"

Voiced by: Masaya Takatsuka (JP), Danny Mann (EN)

Its body is like a smooth snake. Originally it comprised of one head and came out of water, but now it has two more heads and takes to the sky.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Affably Evil: They're a funny bunch of dragons. One in particular (the violet middle head) is very polite to Pit, even when he's trying to eat him.
  • Flight

Pit: He can fly?
Palutena: I think the only one who can't fly by himself is you.

T(h)anatos

"The H stands for Hamazing!"

Voiced by: Eiji Ito (JP), Danny Mann (EN)

God of Death. He's a bit on the crazy side.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Ascended Extra: In the original game, he was just a snake that lived in Medusa's hair. Uprising reveals that he's the god of death, and a shapeshifter.
  • Battle Aura: In Chapter 14, he takes on Phosphora in the form of a "glow dragon". However, unlike his other forms, it appears to not be a transformation, but a dragon-shaped aura that he uses to defend and attack. Thanatos' true form is clearly visible in the dragon's head.
  • Brilliant but Lazy: He is a very effective fighter, and is Medusa's second-in-command, but his lazy and rather carefree nature gets in the way of his job (i.e. sending Reaper subordinates while relaxing in the Sea-floor Palace).
  • Butt Monkey: To put it simply, even Pit shows no respect for him.
  • Camp Gay
  • Cloudcuckoolander
  • Death Is Cheap: As the god of death, he gets special privileges.
  • The Dragon: He's Medusa's second in command. He also transforms into a dragon while fighting Phosphora.
  • Evil Versus Evil: Reappears in Chapter 14 to battle Phosphora, though how evil Phosphora is is debatable.
  • High Speed Battle: Against Phosphora.
  • Large Ham: Lampshaded. According to Thanatos, the extra H in his name stands for "Hamazing".
  • Mad Hatter: Has definite shades of this. He even sounds like Disney's version of him.
  • Monster Clown: His appearance invokes this.
  • Scaled Up: During his fight against the Forces of Nature he took the form of a Glow Dragon.
  • Spell My Name with an "S": He picked it because it sounded cooler.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: The reason why he was able to turn himself into a snake in the first game. During his battle in Uprising, he transforms into: a giant foot, a bat that can split into swarms of smaller bats, a matryoshka doll, a sword and spears, and a jar.
  • The Worf Effect: When Hades revives him to fight against the Forces of Nature, Thanatos is defeated by Phosphora. Give him credit though, he puts up a great fight, and manages to weaken her enough so that Pit has a chance. It looks like he was simply knocked out of the sky, as there was no explosion when he fell off-screen.

Pandora

"Do I look like a strategy guide? In case you haven't noticed... THIS ISN'T THE ASK AUNTIE PANDORA HOUR."

Voiced by: Mariko Suzuki (JP), Nika Futterman (EN)

The Goddess of Deceit. She likes to confuse whoever tries to enter her realm. She is allied with Medusa.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Centurion

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • The Archers
  • Blade on a Stick: The weapon of choice for the Centurion Knights.
  • Death Is Cheap: Through dialogue and their Idols, Uprising reveals that the Centurions can be revived. Pit believes this is why the Centurions are so weak. They have no incentive to get stronger if they'll just get revived.
  • Dumb Muscle: The Strongarm Centurions are this. Even Pit says they're all muscle, including their brains.
  • Elite Mook: The Centurion Knights.
  • Flight
  • Gag Nose
  • Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Centurion Knights come equipped with shields.
  • One-Hit-Point Wonder
  • Redshirt Army: These guys die so much that even Palutena jokes about it.
  • Taken for Granite: In the original, Medusa stoned all of them. In order to get them back, Pit had to use a hammer to free them.
  • Wings Do Nothing: Averted despite how tiny they are. No wonder Pit is upset about being unable to fly on his own.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: In Uprising, the Strongarm Centurions are capable of powerbombing Pit and Magnus when they appear as enemies in Chapter 18 and Chapter 20, although they can't grab you while you're in the middle of a melee combo.

Eggplant Wizards

These enemies place a spell on Pit to turn him into an eggplant.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Ascended Extra: Was just another Underworld Enemy in the original. Due to his legendary annoying ability, he not only landed a main cast role in Captain N: The Game Master (unlike Medusa, who was only in one episode as a Mook), he made it to the front cover Of Myths And Monsters.
  • Black Magic: Laugh all you want, but being turned into an Eggplant is still considered a Curse.
  • Cyclops
  • Demoted to Extra: In 'Uprisng', being a simple enemy.
  • Gag Lips
  • Nerf: His infamous spell is a bit less dangerous in Uprising, as it simply wears off after a while rather than forcing Pit to frantically run to a hospital. Justified though, as Palutena is watching over Pit and uses her powers to shorten the time Pit is an eggplant. But to sort of counter this loss, the spell now acts like a grenade, turning pit into and eggplant if caught in the radius, and damaging him a bit.

Reapers and Reapettes

Skeletal members of the Underworld that lead souls of the dead to their resting place. They are easily excitable and summon small versions of themselves, called Reapettes, when an opponent is spotted.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:


The Underworld Army

An army of odd, but dangerous creatures that reside in the Underworld. They follow high rankin underworld individuals.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Affably Evil: Should one watch what they do before shooting them, they can be pretty amusing (i.e. being tossed about by wind, swimming in the Ocean, watching characters fight, riding on Monoliths, being hit by things and shot at, and doing Interface Screw).
  • And I Must Scream: Collin's are Centurions that have been taken over by Phils, toxic worms that live inside in their bodies.
  • Ascended Extra: All the monsters are represented by the Keepah enemy in the story section of the NES manual.
  • Blatant Lies: The Shulm enemy is described as meek, compare to its actual appearance here.
  • Covers Always Lie: The manual describes Uranos as a very powerful and dangerous enemy, drawing him as a fire breathing giant. In-game Uranos is a tiny and easily defeated dwarf with no special powers.
  • Cyclops: More then half of the Underworld creatures are this.
  • Dark Is Evil
  • Eldritch Abomination: Most of them, but one that stands out is the Clubberskull, which is sealed due to being so powerful.
  • Everyone Hates Hades: Hade's roman name is used for an annoying Bandit Mook.
  • Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods: Octos obviously.
  • Exclusively Evil
  • Gag Nose: Specknoses, which are patterned after Groucho Marx glasses
  • Giant Hands of Doom: Snongs are a unique case, their arms only appear when summoned.
  • The Goomba: A winged snake called Shenum fills this role. The enemy Shulm also looks similar to a Goomba, particularly in the original NES game.
  • The Heartless: An extreme case: the underworld forces are created from souls of the dead, and tons of souls are required to create just one creature.
  • Helpful Mook: For a breif while during the Aurum invasion arc.
  • Taken for Granite: Ingiots inflict this status.

Nurse

The Nurse from the Hospital who removes the Eggplant Curse.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:


Introduced in Of Myths And Monsters

Orcos

"You puny little wimp!"

An arch demon warmonger from another world who leads an army of monsters to attack Angel Land.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Don

"Look for a hidden door above this stage's entrance."

Gives out information information and teaches Pit new things in the Information Center.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:


Introduced in Uprising (Beware of unmarked spoilers!)

Dark Pit/Pittoo

"Hey there, Pit-stain."

Voiced by (in Uprising): Minami Takayama (JP), Antony del Rio (EN) A mysterious black-winged angel. He can soar through the skies without being granted the power of flight... and seems determined to face Pit in battle.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Adorkable: He's no different from his light counterpart.
  • Anti-Hero
  • The Archer: As of the end of Chapter 6, his weapon of choice for the rest of the game becomes a Silver Bow. Fittingly, the Silver Bow looks remarkably like the Palutena Bow that Pit is most often seen with.
  • Arrogant Kung Fu Guy: As a manifestation of the darkness in Pit's heart, Dark Pit represents some of the traits Pit keeps to himself... such as a rather arrogant personality. Then again, Super Smash Bros. Brawl already implied that Pit was rather arrogant, given his taunts.
  • Badass Adorable: Like his light counterpart, he can kick ass, as shown in Chapter 9 when he literally falcon kicks the mini boss at the beginning when Pit can't do any damage with the Sacred Treasures.
  • Badass Driver: Dark Pit has a tendency to take the Lightning Chariot and ram it at his opponents when Pit needs help.
  • Bash Brothers: With Pit, eventually.
  • Black and Grey Morality: Unlike Pit who sees the world in black and white, he sees things in black and grey. While the underworld army are indeed the villains, the Gods they serve aren't any better. He even calls the Gods out on how they treat the world with their powers and place the blame on humans.
  • Break the Haughty: According to Chapter 21, the reason for Dark Pit switching sides is because he found out that he can't live without Pit. He won't go into details on what happened to him while Pit was in the ring, but it wasn't pleasant, to say the least. Pit nearly dying for his sake is enough for him to fully switch sides and be Pit's ally.
  • Butt Monkey: He may be the Shadow Archetype of Pit, but that doesn't make him immune to the abuse his alter ego suffers. Almost every character refers to him as Pittoo, and Pit kicks his ass several times over the course of the game.
  • Canon Immigrant: He made his debut in Super Smash Bros Brawl as a simple color change for Pit. He was notable for changing Pit's color more dramatically than any of the other costumes, which really only changed his tunic color and slightly changed his wings' tint.
  • Can't Live Without You: Dark Pit's change of heart comes when he finds out killing Pit means he dies as well.
  • Car Fu: Rams the Lightning Chariot into the Chaos Void to prevent the Chaos Kin from escaping. He also rammed the chariot into Hades so he could grab Pit and escape with him.
  • Combat Pragmatist: Whether it's against Pit or the Underworld army, he has a habit of attacking them when they least expect it.
  • The Comically Serious: Hades claims he has no sense of humor. In return, Dark Pit just ignores him, unlike Pit.
  • Cool Crown: Just like Pit.
  • Dark Is Not Evil
  • Defrosting Ice King: After some Character Development, he softens up to everyone around him, going as far as to save Pit from death.
  • Determinator: He is determined to save Pit after the latter saved his life from Chaos Kin. At the cost of losing his ability to fly, he manages to bring Pit's wings back.
  • Didn't Think This Through: After healing Pit he decides to fly off rather than try and explain why he helped, forgetting that he'd lost the power of flight that he stole from Pandora.
  • Dynamic Entry: In Chapter 9, he charges in from out of nowhere to deliver a literal flying kick to the Underworld Gatekeeper, dropping the boss that Pit was struggling to damage even with the Three Sacred Treasures. Palutena notes that "face-kicking isn't usually this effective."
  • Early-Bird Cameo: One of Pit's alternate colors in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is basically Dark Pit with normal Pit's eye color.
  • Embarrassing Nickname:
    • "Pittoo", courtesy of Palutena. He really hates it. In Japan, he's known as Kuro-Pi, short for Kuro Pit or Black Pit. Hades takes it a bit farther and calls Pittoo, Pitooey.
    • He seems to warm up to it, or at least stop caring later on.
  • Evil Knockoff: Was supposed to be one of Pit for the Underworld forces. He's really just neutral at worst, and eventually fights for Palutena later on.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: Not so much "evil" as "Anti-Hero".
  • Evil Twin: Starts off as one toward Pit, but subverted midway through when he switches sides.
  • Finishing Each Other's Sentences: Leads to Pit and Dark Pit finishing a motto together in Chapter 21.
  • Good Wings, Evil Wings: Has black wings, in contrast with Pit's white wings.
  • Heel Face Turn: Probably the biggest thing that sets him apart from all the other evil counterparts of other Nintendo heroes (e.g. Dark Link, Shadow Mario, Dark Samus, Blood Falcon, etc).
  • Hot-Blooded: A more subdued version, but it's still there.
  • In-Series Nickname: Pit and Palutena insist on calling him Pittoo (as in "Pit Two"). And he doesn't like it one bit.
  • Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Implied during the Chaos Kin arc. His soul is needed to revive the Chaos Kin according to the ash idol (and Viridi states that the Chaos Kin only went after the purest of souls), and according to Hades, Dark Pit's soul isn't your average one. Given that he's the manifestation of Pit's heart and being neutral at worse, it's quite justified that this trait be passed over.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold -> Jerkass Facade
  • The Lancer: Ends up becoming one for Pit eventually.
  • Multi Melee Master: Much like Pit. In Chapter 6, he can be seen wielding a Blade, Club, Staff, Palm, Cannon and Bow. He will also be seen using whatever weapon Pit has on him when he breaks the Mirror of Truth, and in Chapter 22, he is playable, and can use any weapon in your inventory. After Chapter 6, he seems to settle into using a Silver Bow for the rest of the game.
  • Nay Theist: He dislikes taking orders from the gods and tends to view them as petty squabblers who cause most of the problems in the game.
  • Not Distracted by the Sexy: His reaction to seeing Amazon Pandora is that of confusion given that he doesn't stop attacking her and isn't convinced that's the real Pandora. Palutena and Viridi are shocked and Hades is silent from revelation.
  • Not So Above It All: The fact that he and Pit think the same way puts him in this category by default (as shown in Chapter 21, where they finished their motto that they both made up on the spot).
  • Offhand Backhand: To Pandora which doubles as an Establishing Character Moment.
  • Only Sane Man: He tries to come off as one compared to everyone else. However...
  • Punny Name:
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue Oni to Pit's Red Oni most of the time, though he has dipped into Red Oni territory in some instances.
  • Shadow Archetype: Of Pit.
  • Simple Staff: One of his many weapons of choice. While he uses a Bow for most of the game, it's notable that there is a weapon called a Dark Pit Staff. Of course, since staffs are considered sniping weapons in Uprising, he ends up fitting a different trope. In Chapter 6, one of the possible fights the game sets up with Dark Pit will have him sniping at Pit from atop a mountain with a Dark Pit Staff.
  • Sixth Ranger Traitor: He was intended to be an Evil Knockoff of Pit that works for the Underworld Army, but he defected right after his was created and eventually joins Palutena's forces.
  • Synchronization: What happens to Pit, happens to Dark Pit as well.
  • Twin Telepathy: During certain portions of the game, he and Pit seem to be able to connect at certain points. Viridi even comments on it.
  • When He Smiles: The ending of Uprising. He also smiles whether he wins or losing in Light versus Dark.
  • Wild Card: Unpredictable to the point you don't know who he'll side with until he officially sides with Pit later on in the game.
  • Winged Humanoid
  • Wings Do Nothing: Averted, unlike his counterpart. Played straight later on, as it was Pandora that made him able to fly.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Especially if she is Pandora.

Voiced by: Kenji Nomura (JP), Fred Tatasciore (EN)

Poseidon

The God of the Sea.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Hades

"Welcome to my underworld, Pitty Pat. You too, Pretty Palutena."

Voiced by: Hochu Otsuka (JP), Scott Bullock (EN)

The true Lord of the Underworld. Other creatures, such as Medusa, are merely his pawns.

  • Berserk Button: Judging from his reactions to Dark Pit vowing to stop him in Chapter 22 and Medusa's betrayal in the final battle, he really hates having his rule questioned.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: While defiantly comedic, he's far from harmless, shown especially during the last few chapters where he actually beats Pit in their first fight.
  • Camp Gay: He even flirts with Pit!
  • Card-Carrying Villain
  • Classic Villain: Representing ambition, greed and pride.
  • Dark Is Evil: Hades is most certainly dark and most certainly evil, but it's suggested that the position of god of the Underworld, much like in Greek mythology, isn't an inherently evil position to hold, and is a necessary one. In fact, it's Hades's abuse and corruption of his position as God of the Underworld that makes him evil, along with overstepping his bounds.
  • Enemy Mine: He teams up with Palutena and Viridi to take down the Aurum.
  • Everybody Hates Hades: And he gives them plenty of reason to.
  • Evil Brit: Speaks with a British accent.
  • Evil Is Hammy: He's essentially an evil Tim Curry with godly powers.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Despite acting cheerful, playful and pleasant, he also devours souls and potentially gets Pit killed while they're working together to defeat the Aurum.
  • For the Evulz: Pretty much his only reason for provoking the humans via the Wish Seed promise.
  • Giant Space Flea From Nowhere: He literally shows up out of nowhere, the only foreshadowing to someone being behind Medusa being that she herself didn't know how she came back from the dead, only revealed when you fight her. He then pops up during the credits and tears off the credit screen before revealing he brought her back. Unlike most other examples, he kinda works since he's less than half way through the game.
  • Graceful Loser: Takes his defeat well even without considering his secret message.
  • Half the Man He Used To Be: During the final battle. It doesn't last very long.
  • Hannibal Lecture: To Pit, who just barely resists.
  • Insane Troll Logic: As is fitting his trolling personality. He manages to take Pit's understandable horror at the idea of being defecated out of the Womb Level and somehow warp it into meaning that Pit hates life.
  • Kill All Humans: He uses their souls to produce more monsters and to do whatever else he wants with them.
  • Lack of Empathy: He starts a war and has no remorse for killing millions of people and also laughs at Pit for being stuck in the ring.
  • Large Ham
  • Laughably Evil: He's a Complete Monster, but one can't help but find him funny.
  • The Man Behind the Man: In Uprising (not the entire series).
  • Manipulative Bastard: He spreads a rumor about the Wish Seed to get humans to go to war and kill each other so he can take their souls. He manipulates Pit in order to kill the Phoenix in order to get the humans to kill each other even more.
  • Mind Rape: He loves playing mind games with his opponents. Pit and Dark Pit are his constant victims, though Dark Pit just ignores him.
  • Not Quite Dead: His voice starts talking in The Stinger. He himself concedes that he probably can never come back to life, but is still able to talk to the player as a disembodied voice at least.
  • OOC Is Serious Business: Hades is always evil and scary, but there are very few times he drops the levity of his hammy speech and constant jokes in favor of just being 100% dead serious, angry and violent. First when Dark Pit threatens his dominion over the Underworld (Enough so for Hades to smash a pillar in rage), and again during and after Medusa's defiance in the final battle. He also reacted with understandable anger when Dark Pit tore out of his insides on the Lightning Chariot, though even then he goofily chose to express his anger as "That wasn't very NICE!!". He also gets over it rather quickly.
  • Physical God: Of the Underworld.
  • Pride: As hinted toward by his out-of-character moments, it seems that his only Berserk Button is the questioning of his power and control. Combine this with his motivation being the desire to play around with souls, and it indicates quite a power and control lust.
  • Terms of Endangerment: Pitty Pat for Pit. Pretty Palutena for Palutena.
  • This Is a Drill: He just pops a drill out of his body in his attempt to destroy the Great Sacred Treasure.
  • Token Evil Teammate: During the Aurum arc.
  • Top God: He leads all of the gods of the underworld in Uprising, including Medusa, Thanatos and Pandora.
  • Troll
  • Walking Spoiler: Have you SEEN all these spoilers tags?
  • Womb Level: Level 23 is his digestive tract. It's actually an alternate dimension, according to its Idol description.
  • Xanatos Gambit: It doesn't matter who kills humans, whether it be his own forces, Viridi's forces, or even Palutena's forces when she's possessed by the Chaos Kin. Either way, he gets what he wants: souls.

Dark Lord Gaol

"Ah, Palutena's little messenger boy. And Magnus, it's always a pleasure!"

Voiced by: Junko Minagawa (JP), Kari Wahlgren (EN)

A warlord who is aligned with Medusa. In the past, she was a childhood friend of Magnus, and the two fought monsters together as part of the same mercenary group.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • All There in the Manual: According to her Idol, she volunteered to spy on the Underworld Army, but was captured and forced to wear the cursed armor of a dark lord, making her into nothing more then a slave to the very evil she had fought against. But then it seems she has gained complete control over the cursed armor when you fight her and Magnus, complete with a total removal of the distorted, evil voice. It appears that Pit and Magnus quite literally beat the curse out of her. Either that, or Dyntos just made her a new set.
  • Casting a Shadow
  • Dual Boss: With Magnus late-game.
  • Meaningful Name: Her name is another word for "Prison", hinting at her being imprisoned in the armor.
  • Samus Is a Girl: Her real face even looks like Samus's! It's even more fitting considering she's inside a set of armor.
  • Spikes of Villainy
  • Tin Tyrant

Viridi, Goddess of Nature

"Good riddance, human scum! The world's better off without you!"

Voiced by: Makiko Ohmoto (JP), Hynden Walch (EN)

As the title implies, she's the proclaimed Goddess of Nature. She wants to obliterate the humans fighting each other just because they all got into a war over something that wasn't true due to Hades deceiving all of them.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Admiring the Abomination
  • All Girls Like Ponies: She sounds really enthusiastic when she mentions the unicorns on the lightning chariot.
  • Anti-Villain: Type III given that her reason for wanting to destroy humanity is justified given that Humans Are the Real Monsters in this series, but it still doesn't change the fact she's going too far with her method of wiping them out.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Her cute appearance does NO justice to her actual behavior.
  • Blondes Are Evil: She comes off as this when she debuts with her bomb. She just plain down dislikes humans who destroy nature, though, so she's not evil. It's just the way she responds that matters. But still, her high temper is just too much.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: Giant appearance of gods aside, she fits this... at least, compared to the other gods.
  • Cat Smile: When she's gloating. Sometimes crosses over into Psychotic Smirk.
  • The Chick: Fills this role for Pit when she takes over Mission Control. She doesn't give that much info in comparison to Palutena, and she's more likely to snark or complain in comparison.
  • Colony Drop: Drops Reset Bombs on the places that are being destroyed by humans. Succeeds the first time, but it always fails later.
  • Curtains Match the Window
  • Cute and Psycho
  • Cuteness Proximity: She really, really loves her Bumpity Bombs.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Doesn't come as a shock, given that everybody else is one, but she stands out among everyone else. Even Pit points out she always insults him whenever he opens his mouth.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen
  • Enemy Mine: Viridi partially partners up with Palutena and Hades to fight the alien invasion. In her defense, in typical Tsundere fashion, she does it because it's for her own interest. She also helps Pit out during the Chaos Kin arc, filling in for Palutena.
  • Eyes of Gold: If you look closely enough, you'll see she has these.
  • Femme Fatalons: She states that her nails can tear the very earth and the planet asunder, but a closer look reveals her nails are that of a child. She was probably referring to the Viridi Claws.
  • Fortune Teller: Apparently, she does this service.
  • Gaia's Vengeance: Exaggerated. She hates humans for mostly destroying nature, but takes it a bit too far...
  • Granola Girl: Oh dear.
  • Green Thumb
  • Jerkass
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold
  • Karma Houdini: She's the only Goddess that Pit doesn't fight. You fight her servants instead, as well as destroying the base where she makes the Reset Bombs. Even then, she never apologizes for killing millions of humans. The end of the game implies that, with Hades gone, she'll continue to attack humans if they screw up again.
  • Knight Templar
  • Little Miss Badass
  • Little Miss Snarker: She's little, and she's really snarky.
  • Mission Control: During the Chaos Kin arc. After you beat the game, you can choose to switch between her and Palutena.
  • Older Than They Look: Word of God states she has the body of an 8 year old, but being a goddess she's clearly much older.
  • Power Tattoo: Does not have one, but the Viridi Palm takes the appearance of a tattoo of her on the wearer's right arm.
  • Pre-Mortem One-Liner: When dropping her last reserved Reset Bomb on the Pyrrhon controlled Aurum:

"Time to let nature take its course."

  • Psychopathic Manchild: Being alive for so long and seeing what humans do can turn you into one.
  • Staff of Authority
  • Stealth Pun: She's the goddess of nature and refers to her minions as her children. She's mother nature.
  • Tsundere: A fierce Type A towards everyone. Especially Pit, which Palutena lampshades.
  • The Unfought: Justified that you fight her minions and commanders, and that from Chapter 15 on, there's always bigger threats that draw Viridi into battling with you, but for killing millions of people, you would expect Pit to lay the smack down on her at least once.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Since the humans are pretty much devastating the land, dropping a huge reset-like object on their heads is perfectly right instead of, you know, dealing with the actual root of the problem. She does the above suggested idea backwards, sadly.

Cragalanche the Mighty

"..."

A rocky golem-like being that is an extremely loyal servant of Viridi's. He is one of the leaders of her forces, similar to how Pit leads Plautena's forces.

"Pyrrhon senses danger... and now, Pyrrhon sees it!"

The Chariot Master

Voiced by: Hochu Otsuka (JP), Alan Oppenheimer (EN)

A mysterious figure who is the owner of the Lightning Chariot.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

  • Only Sane Man: He actually is this unlike everyone who has a few screws loose.

Dyntos

Voiced by: Koji Yada (JP), Alan Oppenheimer (EN)

The God of Smithing. He created the Three Sacred Treasures.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • All Powerful Bystander: Is one of, if not the most powerful character in the game, outright stated to be more powerful than even Hades and Palutena. And yet he is content to merely forge weapons and replicas of assorted locations and enemies.
  • Cool Old Guy
  • Deadpan Snarker
  • Eccentric Mentor
  • Top God: If not necessarily the absolute strongest, he's implied to be more powerful than any other god in the game. In addition, Palutena refers to him as Lord Dyntos, implying a position of high authority.
  • Ultimate Blacksmith: Created the weapons in the game including the Three Sacred Treasure and the Great Sacred Treasures; as well as perfect copies of every enemy, and a few bosses Pit has faced thus far.

The Space Pirates

A race of aliens that steal constellations from the heavens to sell. Unfortunately, they were caught up in the war due to have mistakingly taken the Three Sacred Treasures which were hidden in one of them.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Arm Cannon: Space Pirate Commandos and Sniper Pirates, their guns take up their entire fore-arms.
  • Badass Normal: Unlike other enemies in the game, the space pirates have no real powers of their own, but are willing and able to punch the living daylights out of you, snipe you, and blow you up with rocket lauchers, they can even take down underworld goons if you allow them to (one of the best examples being two snipers that are able to kill a Clubberskull, and a lone Commando squaring off against a Snowman.
  • Cold Sniper: Space Pirate Snipers, YMMV though, due to none of them saying a line of dialogue or being stated as such.
  • Energy Beings
  • Evil Poacher: Ones that steal constellations, no less.
  • Laser Blade: Oddly, considering their occupation, not one of these is used by the pirates.
  • Power Fist: All of them, but most prominant in the Yellow space pirates (who fist-fight); where their idol description states that they have exoskeletons, making natural gauntlets on their hands.
  • Shout-Out: To Metroid space pirates, most likely.
  • Space Pirates: Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
  • Third Eye: Snipers have these to make up for sight lost when in their sniping position.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Subverted with Snipers: some don't seem to realize you need to be hidden from sight, and/or out of reach for sniping to work. Some however, like the two that fight the Clubberskull, at least try to stay out of their opponents reach by standing on higher platforms, the key word being "try".
  • Villains Out Shopping: The pirates have a hotspring on board their ship, when you come across it, a Commando is chilling out there.

Space Pirate Captain

The Leader of the Space Pirates, the Captain pilots his starship with his crew, stealing stars that make constillations in the Galactic Sea. He keeps the Three Sacred Treasure with him after stealing the constillation the were hidden on.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Bad Boss: He is not really respected by his crew, due to his bossy nature.
  • Bait and Switch Boss: He is eaten by the Galactic Fiend Kraken.
  • Bit Part Badguys: The only reason he's brought into the story is due to him having the Three Treasures.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: Averted: due to his larger head, he is actually taller than his crew.
  • Evil Is Petty: He yells threats but can't really fight.
  • Jump Physics: Moves around erratically and jumps around like a grasshopper, for comedic effect.
  • Make Me Wanna Shout: Averted: although he yells through a megaphone hard enough to ripple the air, it doesn't hurt anyone.
  • No Indoor Voice
  • One-Scene Wonder
  • Red Alert: While working your way through his ship, he can be heard in the background, shouting in alien tongues, probably giving orders to his crew on how to face the threat of both Pit and the Underworld Army.
  • The Unfought
  • Wicked Cultured: His armour is the most decorated and colourful out of the crew, but that may just be natural coloring.

Galactic Fiend Kraken

A monstrous leviathan that hunts in the Galactic Sea, It eats the Space Pirate Captain and decides that Pit is just too good a morsel to pass up on.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Pseudo Palutena

A copy of Palutena brought about by Dyntos, she considers herself beautiful, even when you reveal her comically-disgusting face.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Boss Banter: While most bosses avert being annoying by having pre-scripted dialogue, Pseudo Palutena will proceed to rattle off the same obnoxious and loud quotes throughout the whole battle. This is most likely intentionally annoying, given the rest of the game avoiding it.
  • Butter Face
  • Evil Knockoff: Of Palutena.
  • Giant Space Flea From Nowhere
  • Something They Would Never Say: Played with: the Palutena we know would obviously do something like this to mess with Pit, but its when you beat her ugly to the forefront that you know that it isn't Palutena.

The Immortal Phoenix

A legendary and ancient bird that lives on top of a volcano. It guards the wish seed which is actually a ruse set by Hades to make the humans fight each other.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Bullfight Boss: Has an attack when it rushes at you while Wreathed in Flames.
  • Expy: Can be considered an avian version of Twinbellows for the second part of the game.
  • MacGuffin: Guards one in the form of the wish seed, said to grant any one wish. Too bad it's a ruse set by Hades.
  • The Phoenix
  • Playing with Fire: Its main method of attacking.
  • Power Fist: While the Phoenix itself does not use one, a weapon modeled after it, called The Phoenix Arm, can be aquired.
  • Razor Wind: Its secondary attacks usually involve this.

The Little Girl

A small child who lives in one of the human towns.

  • Bizarre Alien Biology: Has a single eye on his tempura head, that is somehow replace by is mouth when he starts chasing his victims.
  • Demonic Spider: At least compared to Eggplant Wizard.
  • I Am a Humanitarian: Subverted, he turns his victims into tempura before eating, and pit isn't necessarily human. But that doesn't necessarily mean he hasn't eaten humans.
  • The Rival: To the Eggplant Wizard.
  • Scary Black Man: His head aside, the Tempura Wizard has a brown skin-tone.
  • Slouch of Villainy: When not chasing angels-turned-tempura, he cast spells while reclining on a rice bowl.

Chaos Kin

Everything changes, Pit... even the Gods!

An ancient entity of pure evil and chaos that is accidentally released during the battle of the Lunar Sanctum. Using Palutena as its host, it seeks to plunge the world into endless conflict and chaos.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies
  • Break Them by Talking: When it possessed Palutena, the Chaos Kin said many cruel things to break Pit's spirit. It worked to a certain extent if you believe Pit's Sanity Slippage was caused by his Break the Cutie phase.
  • Chaos Is Evil
  • Combat Pragmatist: The Chaos Kin is not above hiding behind its possessed victims and then dragging the unexpected down with it off with it. Also loves attacking the characters from behind.
  • Combat Tentacles: At least during it's final moments when it tried to drag Pittoo down via a Tentacle Rope.
  • Defiant to the End
  • Demonic Possession: Does this to Palutena.
  • Dirty Coward: It hides behind Palutena when it shows itself during the first battle. To elaborate, when on Chaos Island it sends about an armies-worth of enemies to do its dirty work. Pit even calls it one outright. It also tries to escape when finally cornered and exhaused in Chapter 21. The only thing stopping it is a quick forcefield Viridi sets up around the arena.
  • Eldritch Abomination
  • Eucatastrophe: In the three years between Chapter 17 and Chapter 18, its not only completely taken over Sky World and its forces, but has done more damage to the human world than even Hades, even managing to (temporarily) turn Magnus and Gaol against Pit.
  • Fate Worse Than Death: It is still alive as a pile of ash, and could only be revived by possessing Dark Pit. Fortunately, Pit was able to save him, leaving the Chaos Kin trapped inside the Chaos Vortex for all eternity.
  • Fragile Speedster: It's a speedy demon that can throw many quick attacks at you, but it can't take that many hits in comparison.
  • Generic Doomsday Villain: The Chaos Kin's idol description outright states that it is a mindless creature who possesses nothing but the desire to cause destruction.
  • Kick the Dog: While the Chaos Kin is indeed evil, the fact it possessed Palutena and deliberately said hateful things toward Pit so he would break counts.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Big time. Unlike the other Complete Monster Hades, its actions are taken much more seriously.
  • Made of Evil
  • Omnicidal Maniac
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: It was sealed inside the Lunar Sanctum. The green glow escaping at the end of Chapter 13 is actually the Chaos Kin. The Idol of its ash form reveals that while it's still alive, it can no longer leave the Chaos Vortex.
  • Spell My Name with a "The"
  • Tactical Suicide Boss: The first time you fight it, it will sometimes wrap itself around Palutena. If it just hung on to Palutena the whole time, it would've been impossible to defeat it.
  • Taking You with Me: Once Pit exorcises it from Palutena, it decides to have the last laugh by stealing her soul. And it does it again by trying to take Pittoo down with it once the two manage to get Palutena's soul back. Its ash form idol reveals that it was trying to possess Dark Pit in order to revive itself and given Viridi's explanation on the Chaos Kin, it only fed on the purest of souls and that type of soul is needed for revival.
  • The Voiceless: Only when its on its own. When its possessing Palutena, it is very vocal, and not in a good way.
  • Walking Spoiler: Because its Story Arc is a major Wham! Episode, it has all of these spoiler tags.
  • Your Soul Is Mine: It has the ability to consume souls, and it rips Palutena's soul in front of Pit and escapes into its home dimension.

The Underworld Gatekeeper

A powerful robotic member of The underworld forces, that, true to name guards the entrance to the Underworld.

The Great Reaper

Leader of the Reapers and the boss of the Reaper's Fortress, The Great Reaper apparently sends its subordinates to collect the souls of the humans fighting in the war.

  • Attack Its Weak Point: His head and toes, and more obviously, the crack in his skull during the las leg of the fight.
  • Flunky Boss: He does summon Reapettes, but not as much as his regular-sized counterparts.
  • King Mook: Essentially a far bigger, far stronger version of the normal Reaper.
  • Villains Out Shopping: His idol states that in his free time, he actually shrinks himself to normal size to take strolls in his fortress.
  • Your Soul Is Mine: He was an elder Reaper that gained his power by eating a large amount of souls.

The Aurum

A near-robotic race of space invaders that harvest the rescources of planets.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

The Forces Of Nature

Creatures that are created by and serve Viridi, like their name suggests they are made with natural resources.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Helpful Mook: They fight with you during the Aurum invasion. Nutskis in particular carry a platform for Pit to stand on.
  • Puppeteer Parasite: One of the kinds of creatures faced is a fungus that has killed and taken over a very large Rhino beetle.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Nutskis which are essentially the Forces of Nature versions of the underworld Monoeye. Clobblers are similar to Clubberskulls in that they're harmless until attacked, at which point they become very dangerous. Clobblers will at least walk around when nonhostile, albeit aimlessly.

Hades's Heart

An odd entity representing Hades's heart, existing within Hades.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Armless Biped: Though it does seem to have two blood vessel-like tentacles, it never uses them for anything or even seems to control them at all.
  • Cuteness Proximity: Pit can't help but find it adorable during the boss battle.
  • Made of Explodium: Its clones. The heart itself also explodes upon defeat.
  • Me's a Crowd: Its most potent ability is to create exploding clones of itself.

  • Ugly Cute
