=== Wander ===
[[File:Wander01_9319Wander01 9319.jpg|frame]]
 
{{quote|Voiced by '''[[Kenji Nojima]]'''}}
Line 58:
* [[The Power of Love]]: Wander's motivation for hunting down and slaying the Colossi.
* {{spoiler|1=[[Raise Him Right This Time]]/[[And Your Reward Is Infancy]]: He gets turned into a baby at the end, but whether or not it's to redeem him is left up to interpretation.}}
* [[Screw Destiny]]: Whether Mono's fate was [[Curse|cursedcurse]]d or not, Wander is going to do whatever he can to reverse her death.
* [[Spell My Name with a "The"]]: Because of ambiguous characters in it, his name is variously translated as "The Wanderer", "Wander", and in what is almost certainly a mistranslation, [[Gender Blender Name|Wanda]].<ref>"Wander" and the transliteration of "Wanda" have the same characters in Japanese</ref>.
** The official Sony Entertainment Japan page of the [[PlayStation 3]]-based re-release spells his name "Wander" in Romanji.
* [[Tragic Monster]]: When he's possessed, at least from Lord Emon's point of view.
Line 68:
 
=== Agro ===
[[File:agro_8053agro 8053.jpg|frame]]
 
Wander's loyal steed. {{spoiler|Appears to die in a cutscene right before the final Colossus, but later proves able to make it back to the Shrine of Worship with a limp.}}
Line 86:
* [[Old Save Bonus]]: If you have save data for [[Ico]] on your memory card, Agro will have a white patch of fur resembling ICO's "I" on her forehead instead of the normal blaze.
* {{spoiler|[[Unexplained Recovery]]: At the end. Possibly a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].}}
* [[Video Game Caring Potential]]: Press the O button while standing next to Agro and Wander will pat his steed affectionately. It doesn't even have a significant gameplay purpose,<ref>it does refill Wander's grip gauge more quickly</ref>, it's mostly just there to feel nice.

Colossus number fifteen.
Line 391:
* [[Boss Corridor]]
* [[Collapsing Ceiling Boss]]: Argus will occasionally try to smash you with its club. When you're up in the ruins, this can cause the ceiling to fall in.
* [[Leitmotif]]: Argus is one of the few Colossi to have a unique orchestral score played during the boss battle. The only other two who have their own [[Leitmotif|Leitmotifs]]s are Malus and Dirge.
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]: Argus' mask has a ghastly visage on it which gives this impression.
* [[Recycled in Space]]: Watch Argus carefully and you'll notice his A.I. is quite similar to that of another Colossus: {{spoiler|Valus.}}
Line 397:
 
=== Malus - Grandis Supernus (The Grand Celestial) ===
[[File:malus_3555malus 3555.jpg|frame]]
