Monster Clown: Difference between revisions

*** Oh God, CircusMan. The first time you see him, you witness him doing some kind of creepy dance that drains the energy of everyone around him in that cutscene. He ''sucks up'' the energy, and then he soon uses the energy to revive [[Sealed Evil in a Can|Gregar and Falzar.]] He then opens up his chest to reveal a powerful vacuum which he uses to absorb one of the two beasts! [[It Got Worse|Oh wait, but he's not done with being a Monster Clown yet!]] {{spoiler|He later successfully uses the vacuum to capture Mega Man too, starting a rather long [[Rescue Arc]].}}

**** Don't forget about CircusMan's operator, Yuika. Yuika wears an outlandish outfit, has heart-like makeup on her cheeks, and overall acts like a stereotypical clown. She also lured several Navi Operators into Central City 3's area and thus arranged for CircusMan to steal their energy to unleash the Cybeasts in the first place, not to mention having MegaMan kidnapped as well.

** Mash, the clown robot boss from ''7''.

* ''[[Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow|Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow]]'' and subsequent games have the Killer Clown enemy, who juggles playing cards and throws them at you. (Get their ability and you can do that too! It's surprisingly awesome.)

* Needles "Sweet Tooth" Kane from ''[[Twisted Metal]]'', who wears a flaming clown mask and stores the bodies of murdered children in his ice cream truck. The entirety of ''Twisted Metal: Black'' is actually {{spoiler|a psychotic delusion taking place inside his mind}}.

** A homicidal clown, he's essentially an [[Expy]] of [[The Joker]].

* Malcolm the jester in the ''Kyrandia'' adventure game series. Suffers a [[Heel Face Turn|reluctant flipflop]] in the third and final game which does ...absolutely nothing at all. He retains the same personality. He still says incredibly evil and nasty things. He just stopped killing people. (which of course nobody believes, so it's up to you as Malcolm to clear your name in the third.) Most unconvincing HFT ever, most unrepentant villain ever too. Even with his personality set to ''"nice"'' and with him talking to the sorceress Zanthia, whom he has a bit of a crush on, everything he says still makes him sound like a spiteful misanthropic [[Jerkass]] just one dagger away from a multiple homicide. He's not so much an [[Anti-Hero]] as he is the same [[Magnificent Bastard]] he was before, just without the murderous streak. [[False Reassurance|He claims.]]

* In the first chapter of ''[[Dark Cloud]] 2'' (aka Dark Chronicle), the [[Big Bad]] ({{spoiler|before we find out about [[The Man Behind the Man]]}}) is Flotsam, creepy leader of a troupe of killer clowns.

* The Jester in ''[[Darkest Dungeon]]'' is a rare heroic example, insomuch as ''any'' of the classes can be called heroic. Sort of a cross between a rogue, minstrel, and this Trope, he can be an invaluable asset in some situations, his singing able to calm the rest of the party and prevent the stress from doing them in. Or it can inspire them and buff their - and his - attacks.

* Lola Pop from ''[[ARMS]]'' was never intended to be this; producer Kosuke Yabuki intended her to just be a silly, fun-loving circus clown who just happened to a contender in a [[Fighting Game]] where ''every'' playable character was silly, but players were terrified of her regardless. Kosuke later said half-jokingly that he had "learned a weakness in Americans" due to them being scared of such a thing. So... if he ever decides to greenlight less lighthearted game, coulrophobia sufferers be warned...
