Line 38:

* [[Have You Seen My God?]]: Zaros was betrayed by Zamorak and banished from Gielinor. "The Temple at Senntisten" revolves around Azzanadra's attempts to find him and restore him to power again.

* [[The Scottish Trope]]: Characters are afraid to say his name.

* [[Written By the Winners]]: Nearly all the records of Zarosian civilization were destroyed by the combined forces of Zamorak and Saradomin; most of what little remains is their propaganda about how he was totally evil.

==== Bandos ====

Line 59:

* [[Curse]]: Has imposed one on the Dragonkin. As a result, the Kin suffers as 'false users' tap on the powers of the Stone of Jas, and end up protecting the stone by hunting down these 'false users' in order to ease their pain.

* [[Have You Seen My God?]]: It appears that he's been gone even before Guthix arrived on Gielinor. His influence is only felt through Stone of Jas and some Dragonkin writings.

* [[Fun ~~With~~ Acronyms]]: Not exactly in in-universe context, but Jas could also stand for Java Application Server. The game engine is written in Java programming language.

Line 113:

* [[Human Sacrifice]]: The Mahjarrat sacrifice one of their own every half millennium to grow stronger and add to their already considerable lifespan.

* [[Magick]]: The Mahjarrat are the most prominent users of Ancient Magicks, and Azzanadra is the one who teaches these to the player after Desert Treasure.

* [[Skull for A Head]]: All of the Mahjarrat qualify for this in their weakened pre-ritual form. After their rejuvenation ritual they gain more flesh-like facial features.

* [[Magick]]: The most prominent and powerful known user of Ancient Magicks, he teaches these to the player after releasing him in Desert Treasure.

* [[Oh Crap]]: Implied to be the standard reaction to seeing him by his enemies.

* [[Sealed Badass in A Can]]: To defeat him, entire ''armies'' banded up, bound fragments of his power to enchanted diamonds and imprisoned him in a giant pyramid.

* [[War Is Hell]]: He doesn't seem to share the same [[War Is Glorious|mentality]] as most of the other Mahjarrat.

{{quote| Yet there are those who would claim that war is an artform. Fools they are, and fools they remain. By their bloodlust they are blinded to beauty, deafened to melody, and numbed to sanctity!}}

Line 151:

* [[A God Am I]]: He's stolen ''two'' artifacts of the gods, including the one that Zamorak ascended to godhood with. In "The Ritual of the Mahjarrat", he claims himself to be a god.

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: Whether or not you deliver him the Staff of Armadyl during Temple of Ikov does not matter, he obtains it anyhow.

* {{spoiler|[[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: His reliance on the Stone of Jas backfires.}}

Line 198:

* [[HP to One]]: Don't keep that protection prayer up against Kal'Ger for too long.

* [[Kaizo Trap]]: When Kal'Ger dies, he explodes and deals damage anywhere between your maximum base health and 1. If you're really unlucky, this can kill you from full hitpoints.

* [[Kill It ~~With~~ Fire]]: Har'Lakk's flame portal.

* [[Kill It with Fire]]: Har'Lakk's flame portal.

* [[Magic Knight]]: The demons primarily fight with magic and melee, both about equally destructive.

* [[Mundane Utility]]: To'Kash freezing some poor sap and then shattering them in a shower of [[Ludicrous Gibs]] is said to be a favorite party trick of his.

Line 210:

==== The Behemoths ====

Basically just bigger than usual animals dwelling in Daemonheim, the Behemoths were discovered by Bilrach's party and left as sentries to guard the passages deeper in. Not particularly intelligent, but definitely there in the brute force department. Their names are actually just [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|descriptive ones]] given by Bilrach's team.

* [[Big Eater]]: Take a wild guess where the Gluttonous behemoth got its name from.

* [[Charged Attack]]: The Hope devourer telegraphs its strongest attack with a roar. Should any player have a protection prayer up when the attack comes, it'll instantly consume it to heal itself, or [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|'devour their faith and hope'.]]

* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]: Since they were named by the exploration team, their names are mainly descriptions. Examples are the Bulwark beast and the Gluttonous and Runebound behemoths.

* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: Gluttonous Behemoth will gladly munch a rotten bovinmastyx corpse (that has likely been in that state for a very long time) when its health is low.

* [[Luck-Based Mission]]: Beating Stomp in the minimum of three rockfalls is not always possible without creative use of gatestones or even with it. The rocks may just fall so they block either the lodestones, crystals, or both.

* [[Screw the Rules, I Have A Nuke]]: Abuses his powers to murder innocents and break into the Draynor Village bank simply because he feels he is entitled to a greater reward. It's also hinted that his next target is the Wizards' Tower to the south, {{spoiler|which he and his girlfriend Zenevivia promptly go and attack after they are reunited.}}

* [[The Worf Effect]]: They {{spoiler|manage to slay Lucien with ease and Lucien was the most powerful mahjarrat at the time}}.
