Going from a single hero to an ensemble of seven and having nine different characters in the party, Legend of Dragoon runs the gamut of Ensemble tropes:

=== Dart Feld ===

 

 

Survivor of the Black Monster's destruction of Neet, Dart returns from a trip [[Walking the Earth]] to find his adopted home of Seles razed and his childhood friend Shana kidnapped. The quest to rescue Shana and make the responsible parties pay will extend his journey to take vengeance against the Black Monster further than he could possibly comprehend.

* [[Celibate Hero]]: For the first two discs.

* [[Coup De Grace Cutscene]]: Subverted about half the time, including the first two times.

* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]

* [[The Hero]]

* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: His father's memento is actually the Red Eyed Dragoon crystal.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Both of Dart's parents were killed trying to save their home village of Neet from the Black Monster. {{spoiler|His dad his [[Not Quite Dead]] but does this again at the very end.}}

* [[Say My Name]]: "[[Narm|Laaaaaviiiiiiiitz!!]]"

* [[Shonen Hair]]

 

=== Lavitz Slambert ===

 

 

Knight of Basil and prisoner of Sandora's Hellena compound, at least until Dart rescues him in the midst of his strike to save Shana. Together, they escape to the Kingdom of Basil and assist in its defense at the fortress city of Hoax.

 

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]

* [[Blow You Away]]

* {{spoiler|[[Dead Star Walking]]}}

 

=== Shana ===

 

 

Dart's childhood friend and [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|honestly not-girlfriend]]. Isn't particularly sure why Sandoran forces kidnapped her during the invasion of Seles. {{spoiler|It's probably because she's the Moon Child, but more on that in Rose's spoiler data.}}

* [[The Archer]]

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: In Dragoon form.

* [[Combat Medic]]

* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Kidnapped in Disc 3, and held in Damsel Perpetuity until the ending.

* [[Defense Mechanism Superpower]]: On occasion, when her life is endangered, she instinctively manifests a glowing halo of power that can destroy her enemies or protect her allies. {{spoiler|It turns out that this is actually one of the powers of the Moon Child.}}

* [[Friend to All Living Things]]

* {{spoiler|[[Light Is Not Good]]: True, Shana herself is perfectly innocent, but as the Moon Child, she's destined to destroy the entire world.}}

* {{spoiler|[[MacGuffin Girl]]: She's the Moon child}}

* [[Magikarp Power]]: Starts off completely useless but becomes one of the most useful characters in the game once she hits Dragoon Level 5.

* [[Squishy Wizard]]

* [[Trick Arrow]]: Many later weapon upgrades.

 

=== Rose ===

 

 

A wandering warrior who saves Dart from Feyrbrand during his journey home to Seles, and later shows up to help awaken and train his Dragoon Spirit, seeing as how she wields the Darkness one herself. Her knowledge of the Dragon Campaign of 11,000 years ago becomes dangerously relevant to the civil war in Serdio and the machinations of its puppetmasters. {{spoiler|Said knowledge is firsthand, and she's been spending a good chunk of the eleven-millenia gap killing Moon Children under the guise of the Black Monster, ensuring that the world never experiences the "holy bliss" that a Moon Child would bestow.}}

 

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Broken Bird]]: {{spoiler|her lover was petrified, her friends died one after another, and she had to [[Shoot the Dog|kill innocent people for thousands of years to keep the world safe]].}} Rose is very, ''very'' broken.

* [[Casting a Shadow]]

* [[Cool Sword]]: They don't come much cooler than that.

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]

* [[Dark Magical Girl]]

* [[Floral Theme Naming]]

* [[Glass Cannon]]: Her defenses are meh, and her HP is awful for a physically oriented character. Nevertheless, her attacks hit ''hard''.

* {{spoiler|[[Immortality Inducer]]: The magical choker she wears is the source of her immortality.}}

* [[Lady of War]]

* [[The Lancer]]: From disc 2 onwards and especially in the last two.

* [[Ms. Exposition]]: Gives Dart (and us) an outline of the Dragoon/Wingly war.

* [[Necessarily Evil]]: {{spoiler|As the Black Monster}}.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: One of the few times she doesn't almost blow her cover, it's because {{spoiler|she immediately knows Meru is a Wingly, and it's not at a good time to mention that}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Really Eleven Thousand Plus Years Old]]}}

* [[Rebel Relaxation]]

* [[Sixth Ranger]]: In Disc 1.

* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: Rose can be extremely cold and downright merciless at times, but with a lot of patience and effort, she can show a certain degree of affection - usually to Dart.

* {{spoiler|[[Time Abyss]]: Rose has been alive for over ''eleven '''thousand''' years.'' She's seen the rise and fall of countless empires, associated with creatures now considered to be myths, and she's made it her mission in life to assassinate the supposed Messiah every century.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]]: With Zieg}}

* [[The Tragic Rose]]: Once you've finished the game, step back and take a good hard look at everything that Rose has been through in her life.

* [[Useless Useful Spell]]: Astral Drain would be awesome if it dealt (and therefore healed) more damage. Demon's Gate is only useful in random battles, which no sane person will use Dragoons in anyway.

* [[Zen Survivor]]

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Only her left.

 

=== Haschel ===

 

 

Martial Arts master from the [[Wutai|isolated island village of Rouge]], who joins Dart and pals to take a bit of a break from his own search for his missing daughter Claire. This winds up being a shock to Dart, as Claire was also his mother's name, and the lullaby Dart taught Shana originated from Rouge. {{spoiler|Of course, [[There Are No Coincidences]].}}

 

* [[Badass Grandpa]]: {{spoiler|Dart's, in fact. Though he keeps this a secret from Dart once he figures this out}}.

* [[The Big Guy]]: Physically average in stature but he gets a few moments to remind everyone that he is a powerful martial arts master, including one where [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|he cracks a massive stone circle to dust with one punch.]]

* [[Dirty Old Man]]: A rather innocent example, but it's definitely still there.

* [[Fingerless Gloves]]

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Both stat-wise and literally, of a fast hard hitter variants, but he has a decent defense as well. {{spoiler|It's not a coincidence that he and Dart are well balanced.}}

* [[Theme Naming]] : His addition refers to numbers, and add the exact same number of hits -1 to fit the number of hits with the number it represents. The weird exception is Flurry of Styx (which might or might not be referring to three) and Hex Hammer (which adds 6 hits, totalling into 7 attack)

** In the Japanese version, Flurry/Ferry of Styx (the English version is inconsistent on what it's called) is referred to as 三途の渡し　(Sanzu no Watashi), with "Sanzu" being the Japanese name for Styx. "San" (三) is also Japanese for "three" which fits his number theme. Ferry of Styx makes sense, even though it loses the number theme. Don't even ask where "flurry" came from...

* [[My Greatest Failure]]: His daughter accidentally killed a fellow student during a sparring session, under ''his'' watch, after being insulted by him, and then ran away from home.

* [[Power Fist]]

* [[Team Dad]]: Rose is too jaded to keep this bunch in line.

* [[Walking the Earth]]: In search of his runaway daughter.

 

=== Albert ===

 

 

King of Basil and regular sparring partner to Lavitz, he joins Dart's merry band following Sandoran forces' extraction of the Moon Gem from his body {{spoiler|and also that whole "Lavitz dying" thing}}. Smitten with Princess Emille of Tiberoa, and spends a good chunk of Disc 2 shocked at her newfound rashness of attitude. {{spoiler|He's only slightly less shocked that Emille was impersonated the whole time by Lenus, pulling the [[Long Con]] for Lloyd}}.

* [[Awesome but Practical]]: The Rose Storm spell. It halves damage for three turns and won't break the mana meter.

* [[Badass Bookworm]] / [[Cultured Badass]]: Definitely the most polished member of the team, not to mention the most formal.

* [[Blow You Away]]

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: There's no sugar-coating it, Albert is a nerd, and his royal upbringing means his ability to blend into a crowd leaves a bit to be desired. Good thing he can tear through enemy lines with his trusty blade on a stick and has memorized entire libraries.

* [[MacGuffin Girl|MacGuffin Guy]]: The Moon Gem's inside his body.

* [[Razor Wind]]

* [[Spam Attack]]: Albert's Additions are the QTE version of a 6-year-old with ADHD on a sugar rush.

* [[The Smart Guy]]: You'd think he'd be a Lancer but he gladly defers to Rose in that role and simply doesn't have the same dynamic with Dart that Lavitz did. On the other hand, we are reminded often that Albert has a hard-on for books.

 

 

=== Meru ===

 

 

The best dancer in the Tiberoan village of Donau, she joins Dart and the gang to help free the kingdom from the clutches of the Gehrich Gang. Her perky exterior hides the fact that {{spoiler|the Winglies of Mille Seseau are royally cheesed off at her leaving their [[Hidden Elf Village]] to prove the two races can heal their wounds from the Dragon Campaign}}.

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[An Ice Person]]

* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: If you use the special command to initiate either her Plane Shift or Dart's, it weakens the other's attacks and magic because you cannot remove Dart from the party.

** [[Awesome Yet Practical]] : On the other hand, she is ridiculously fast, and has ridiculously powerful spells, combined with second highest magic stats, far making up for the weakened Dart.

* [[Dance Battler]]

* [[Drop the Hammer]]

* [[Genki Girl]]: The world will end before she runs out of energy.

* [[Giant Waist Ribbon]]

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]

* [[Older Than They Look|Older Than She Looks]]

* {{spoiler|[[Power Gives You Wings]]: In addition to her Dragoon wings, she grows wings when she tries to use Wingly magic.}}

* [[Stripperific]]

* [[Squishy Wizard]]: {{spoiler|Which is kind of ironic because by Wingly standards Meru is a terrible magician; in fact, by the ancient standards of magic held by Zenebatos, she can't even qualify as a real Wingly at all.}}

 

=== Kongol ===

 

 

Last of the Giganto species and one of Emperor Doel's trump cards in the civil war in Serdio. After being bested by Dart and his entourage twice, however, his honor as a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]] leads him to join the team as they liberate the Gigantos' ancestral home from the Gehrich Gang.

* [[An Axe to Grind]]

* [[The Brute]] --> [[The Big Guy]]

* [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Older Brother]]

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]

 

=== Miranda ===

 

 

First Sacred Sister of Mille Seseau and a particularly headstrong retainer of that nation's queen. Following {{spoiler|the Divine Dragon wrecking Deningrad and much of the army being wiped out in the process}}, she is assigned to Dart's group to assist in their counterattack.

* [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male]]: Miranda seems incapable of not punching everyone she sees. One of them was an officier and no one said a word.

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[The Archer]]

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: After the queen she's the highest ranking person in the country.

* [[Combat Medic]]

* [[Cool Big Sis]]

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Despite belonging to the holy order of Denigrad, she is a definite hardass.

* [[Happily Adopted]]

* [[Holy Hand Grenade]]

* [[Lady of War]]

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Technically adopted, but officially she's the Queen's daughter and one of the kingdom's highest ranking generals.

* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Gameplaywise, she is the exact same as Shana.

** The [[Evil Counterpart]]: Greham

** [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Lloyd

 

=== Fruegel ===

 

The head warden of Hellena Prison, feared for his immense size and superhuman ability he displays in battle. Fruegel was given the order from Emperor Doel to obtain Shana from the small outlying village known as Seles. Emperor Doel himself does not know the importance of the girl, he was following an outside influence. Fruegel, sadistic as he was, was not content in only taking the girl and ordered that the village to be destroyed, as well.

 

* [[Bad Boss]]: Anyone unlucky enough to be in range of one of his tantrums (friend or foe) is thrown from a steep height to their death.

* [[Carry a Big Stick]]

* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: He has the Earth element and can hurl large boulders at you.

* [[Obviously Evil]]

* [[Our Ogres Are Hungrier]]: He looks more like a ogre than a human.

 

=== Greham ===

 

Once the commander of the Second Knighthood of Basil, Greham was the right-hand man and closest friend to Lavitz's father Servi. Over the years, Greham became jealous of Servi's ability, his desire to better himself turning into a desperate attempt to best Servi as a warrior. Greham defected to Sandora where he received the power of the Jade Dragoon Spirit and used it to murder Servi. He commands the Green-Tusked Dragon Feyrbrand in service of Sandora and the two are finally defeated by the heroes deep inside Feyrbrand's nest. Mortally wounded and consumed with reget, he passes the Jade Dragoon Spirit to Lavitz before finally dying.

 

* [[Blow You Away]]: However his most powerful magic summons a large stone totem to which he impales the target.

* [[Death Equals Redemption]]

* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: When poisoned, Shana is diagnosed as being healthy in the body but poisoned in the mind. Feyrbrand primarily uses his Fear-inducing attack a lot more than his Poison-inducing one.

* [[Face Heel Turn]]

* [[Informed Ability]]: Feyrbrand is mentioned as attacking with poison and the forest surrounding its nest is drenched in poison, yet it uses poison very rarely, instead shooting a blue goo that causes Fear most of the time. In addition, the poison it does shoot is no more severe than any other poison.

* [[Rival Turned Evil]]

* [[Sixth Column]]

 

=== Emperor Doel ===

 

Ruler of the southern part of Serdio, which broke from Basil to become Imperial Sandora following the death (read: murder) of Albert's father Carlo. Doel claims to be fighting to create a world where all creatures may live in peace - by any means necessary. However, for the past few years, he's been content to operate under the truce between Basil and Sandora without actively pursuing his goals... up until he discovered the power of dragons, with Lloyd's help, of course. Doel is the primary antagonist of Chapter One, {{spoiler|and is revealed to be in possession of the Purple Dragon Orb}}. Late in the game, an apparition known as "Dark Doel" appears to test Albert's virtue.

* [[Badass Cape]]

* [[Beard of Evil]]

* [[Cain and Abel]]: Killed his brother because Doel doubted his competence.

* {{spoiler|[[Death Equals Redemption]]}}

* [[Evil Uncle]]: After King Carlo's death, Doel apparently wanted to be set up as [[Regent for Life]] since Albert was so young. When he didn't get his way, he started a civil war. Friendly guy!

* [[Evil Virtues]]: Doel keeps a gigantic statue of his late wife in his castle.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: As well as being an impressive swordsman {{spoiler|and a powerful Dragoon}}, he's a shrewd tactician (even without Lloyd's help) and very happy to incorporate highly-advance [[Magitek]] into his palace and personal defences.

* {{spoiler|[[Graceful Loser]]: In his final moments, Doel concedes that Albert has grown stronger in the years since they last met, and provides him with Lloyd's destination before finally dying.}}

* [[High Collar of Doom]]

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Taking in the young Kongol after his people were massacred.

* [[Purple Is Powerful]]: As a human, most of his colour scheme involves dark blues and purple; {{spoiler|as a Dragoon, well...}}

* [[Redemption Equals Death]]

* [[Technicolor Blade]]: His Shadow Sword.

* [[Tin Tyrant]]

 

=== Lenus ===

 

A Wingly bandit lovesick for Lloyd, she spends much of her screen time disguised as Princess Emille of Tiberoa, whom she and the Gehrich Gang had sealed inside a magical pocket dimension following a "convenient" horse accident. When directly challenged by the Dragoons, however, her rowdy side manifests in a frenzy of cesta attacks and ancient magic. After escaping the palace, she flees to Prison Island, where she's confronted a second time, this time {{spoiler|using the Blue Sea Dragoon Spirit and}} calling on the dragon Regole to help her. {{spoiler|Upon her death, the Blue Sea Spirit is given to Meru.}}

* [[Fake King|Fake Princess]]

* [[Fuuma Shuriken]]: Her first version resembles one, with [[Laser Blade]] in it.

* [[Love Martyr]]

* [[Master of Disguise]]

* [[Pirate Girl]]

* [[Stripperific]]

* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Though she's a very powerful Wingly magician, she's nothing special in the way of physical resilience. {{spoiler|This is carried over to her Dragoon powers.}}

** {{spoiler|She actually gets squishier as a Dragoon. As a Wingly, she's actually far more powerful offensively, which made her a [[Glass Cannon]]. As a Dragoon, she does get some defensive power (not much though), but her massive attack power takes a large hit, making her effectively weaker.}}

* [[Winged Humanoid]]

 

=== Lloyd ===

 

 

An impossibly fast swordsman who bests Dart and Haschel in a tournament at the desert city of Lohan and then proceeds to take direct and indirect responsibility for the misfortunes that befall our heroes. The laundry list: {{spoiler|killing Lavitz, orchestrating Emperor Doel's strikes against Basil and Shana's initial capture, stealing the Moon Gem from Albert, hiring Lenus (and by proxy the Gehrich Gang) to steal the Moon Dagger, unsealing the Divine Dragon to steal the Moon Mirror AND break one of the ancient Wingly signets through raw power, and nabbing the Divine Dragoon Spirit for good measure}}. Despite being a Wingly, he claims to do all of this on the orders of Emperor Diaz, the human leader who emerged victorious from the Dragon Campaign 11,000 years ago.

* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]

* [[Villainous Fashion Sense]]

* [[Winged Humanoid]]: As a Wingly, this is a given, but he doesn't use his wings much before the third disc.

 

=== Emperor Diaz/ {{spoiler|Zieg Feld}} ===

 

 

The man Lloyd claims to be working on the behalf of, Emperor Diaz was a human rebel who was canonized after the successful human rebellion against the Wingly Dictatorship. {{spoiler|"Diaz" is actually an alias used by Dart's father Zieg, a fellow survivor of the Dragon Campaign, who was petrified after striking down the Wingly dictator Melbu Frahma.}}

 

 

* [[Cool Sword]]

* [[Flaming Sword]]: {{spoiler|Unlike Dart, his sword in Dragoon form has a flame aura on the tip.}}

* [[Flight]]: One of the non-Dragoon magicks he's managed to master. Also, it's probably his most annoying characteristic, as it's ''very'' difficult to catch up with him.

* [[Mask Power]]: {{spoiler|While still posing as Diaz, he wears an impressive mask and robes.}}

* [[Mutual Kill]]: During their final battle, {{spoiler|Zieg ran Melbu Frahma through with his sword, only to be petrified by Melbu's counterattack.}}

* [[Mirror Match]]: When faced in battle, {{spoiler|Zieg}} is an incomplete (but stronger) replica of Dart.

* [[Not Quite Dead]]

* [[Taken for Granite]]: In Rose's [[Flash Back]], {{spoiler|Zieg}} was turned to stone by Melbu Frahma, forcing her to leave him for dead as the castle collapsed around them.

* [[Tragic Hero]]

 

=== Melbu Frahma ===

 

 

Over 11,000 years ago, Melbu Frahma was the ruler of the Winglies and all of Endiness, renowned for both his power and his depravity. Frahma, according to the lore of present-day Winglies, was directly responsible for imposing on his people the genocidal directive of Wingly superiority over all other living creatures. These lesser beings had no right to live, he preached, and it was the mercy of the Winglies that suffered them as slaves.

 

* [[The Archmage]]: Thanks to the power of the Crystal Sphere, Frahma was arguably one of the most powerful magicians in all Endiness - especially once Faust died.

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Managed to put up quite a fight against Zeig before dying. {{spoiler|To say nothing of what happened once he took control of the Virage Embryo.}}

* [[Bald of Evil]]

* {{spoiler|[[Conflict Killer]]. Once he's revealed himself, all other fights are kinda meaningless.}}

* [[The Emperor]]

* [[Not Quite Dead]]

* [[Pointy Ears]]

* {{spoiler|[[Soul Jar]]: Zieg's dragoon spirit.}}

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: If you [[Sheathe Your Sword|don't take her test.]]

* [[Morality Chain]]: To Kanzas in the past and to [[Lovable Rogue|Drake]] in the present.

* [[Secret Test of Character]]: Her boss fight.

* [[Unfinished Business]]: Her spirit will stay on earth as long as the other four Dragoons are trapped.

 

=== Kanzas ===

* [[Power Fist]]

* [[Shock and Awe]]

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Only Shirley's presence could calm him.

 

 

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: With glasses to boot.

* [[Blow You Away]]

* [[Foil]]: Syuveig's bookishness highlights Albert's as well and shows the consequences of going overboard: he's become afraid of what he doesn't or can't know.

* [[Gentle Giant]]: He had a soft spot for children, ultimately fighting against the Winglies due to their enslavement of children.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: His last act was to try and save Shirley from the dual threat of an attacking Virage and a collapsing ceiling; though he managed to grab the ceiling in time, the only way he could stop the Virage was by [[Taking the Bullet|getting impaled on its fingers]]. Sadly, Shirley refused to abandon Belzac, resulting in the Virage's next attack killing both of them.

* [[Love Makes You Crazy]]

* [[Super Strength]]: Much like Kongol, Belzac was immensely strong in life - a trait enhanced by his Dragoon powers - enough to lift the collapsing roof of a Wingly building, which looked like it weighed a few tons at the very least.

 

=== Damia ===

* [[An Ice Person]]

* [[Drop the Hammer]]

* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: The reason why she's stuck.

* [[The Chick]]

* [[Bald of Awesome]]

* [[Cool Old Guy]]

* [[Creating Life Is Awesome]]: Over the course of his exile, Savan created numerous life-forms to assist him in his research- and to prevent him from [[Go Mad From the Isolation|going mad from isolation.]] Both Savan and the creatures are depicted as entirely benevolent.

* [[Defector From Decadence]]

The Dark Burst Dragon and {{spoiler|Rose's}} former dragon companion. {{spoiler|When he eventually went crazy Rose was forced to kill him. Appears as a special boss for Rose and Dart on the Moon.}}

 

* [[Casting a Shadow]]: Can cast a dark explosive gas and a pitch black laser beam of destruction.

* [[Death From Above]]: His Dark Laser attack.

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: It's hard to describe him, but he looks slightly more like a tradition Dragon, if not a wyvern.

* {{spoiler|[[Puzzle Boss]]: Rose has to tell to Dart what's his weakness, then they have to attack him exploiting said weakness.}}

* [[Physical God]]: Explicitly stated as such. {{spoiler|Considering that you only ''just'' manage to kill him because you have the right [[MacGuffin]] and because he was still recovering from a fight with Lloyd (who was wielding the Dragon Buster), that's not an exaggeration.}}

* [[Roar Before Beating]]: He tends to roar just before using the Divine Attack.

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: The Dragon Buster sword and the Dragon Block Staff.

 

 

* [[The Antichrist]]

* [[Black Knight]]

* [[Casting a Shadow]]

* {{spoiler|[[Dark Is Not Evil]]}}

* [[Eternal Recurrence]]: Every hundred and eight years, he returns to wreak havoc.

* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: {{spoiler|Well, anyone thinks so - quite incorrectly.}}

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]

* {{spoiler|[[Samus Is a Girl]]: The "Demon" that everybody's been referring to as "he" for the past few hours of gameplay is actually a woman.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Shoot the Dog]]}}

* [[Time Abyss]]

* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: The Black Monster is more than prepared to kill children over the course of his rampages, and because the intended target is the Moon Child - who will likely be only a baby at the time of the massacre - child murder is ''guaranteed.''

* [[Wreathed in Flames]]: As a flashback reveals, the Black Monster's body is wreathed in black flames and smog.

* {{spoiler|[[Apocalypse Maiden]]: The Moon Children themselves might not be malevolent per se, but they're driven by instinct and destiny to reconnect with the Virage Embryo and end the world.}}

* [[Barrier Maiden]]

* {{spoiler|[[Charm Person]]: It's revealed that the Moon Child has the ability to psychically influence those around it, subtly persuading them to worship it - hence the reason why the Black Monster goes out of his way to kill everyone within a mile radius of the Child as well as the Child itself.}}

* [[The Chosen One]]

* {{spoiler|[[God of Evil]]}}

* [[Holy Hand Grenade]]

* {{spoiler|[[Light Is Not Good]]}}

* [[Weird Moon]]: The Moon Child's birth is heralded by the Moon That Never Sets glowing blood-red.

Purported to be the one hundred and eighth fruit of the Divine Tree, an unborn god of unthinkable power, {{spoiler|created specifically to destroy the world and remake it}}. It was first discovered by the ancient Winglies; under the command of Emperor Melbu Frahma, they removed the Virage Embryo's soul and imprisoned it within a Crystal Sphere; the body was kept well out of reach of both the imprisoned soul and any prospective saboteurs - {{spoiler|in the sky, where it became known as The Moon That Never Sets}}. Melbu kept the sphere with him at all times, using its immense magical power to terrorize the races under his control, in spite of his sister's efforts to lessen his power; however, in the final battle of the Dragon Campaign, the sphere was broken, releasing the soul trapped within. {{spoiler|However, thanks to the Moon signets that Charle Frahma created, the soul couldn't return to its original body, so it began a cycle of incarnating itself in the bodies of newborn humans, hoping to find a way of destroying the signets through the worshippers it inspired over the course of each lifetime - and earning the title of The Moon Child in the process. For eleven thousand years, Rose managed to stop it from making any progress - up until Shana escaped her assassination attempt.}}

 

* [[Combat Tentacles]]

* [[Physical God]]

* [[Reality Warper]]

* [[Time Abyss]]: Undoubtedly the oldest living being in the game, having existed since the creation of the world.
