Line 145:
* [[Mook Maker]]: The Super Drone variant of Sentry Drones will periodically spawn in random enemies of ANY species of aliens in the game, including on rare occasions the super hard versions of the first three boss monsters [Elimination Squad Soldier, Megaton Overlord, Cycloid Void Annhilator]. They also try to spawn one final enemy upon their destruction to spite you.
* [[My Name Is Question Marks]]: The "Mysterious Woman".
* [[The Nameless]]: The mod actually subverts this and gives the formerly nameless aliens of [[Duke Nukem|Duke Nukem 3D]] a species name: ''Triocladiar''.
** The Mysterious Woman is also this for the most part, unless you look at a specfic magazine cover or use the debug-variables option in the Toggles Submenu. Why her name changes with debug mode on, we have no idea.
* [[Not Quite Flight]]: [[Bubsy]], keeping true to the series he was born from, can glide while in mid-air to prevent taking falling-damage/death, slowing him down to about 1/3 his falling speed. Appearantly the creator even paid extra attention to the fact you can't whore the skill out by trying to glide within a couple of feet from hitting the ground to avoid damage, since you slow down gradually to your glide speed instead of instantly applying it.
* [[One-Man Army]]: Averted and yet maintained in it's own way. Duke Nukem is no longer the only person fighting the armies of the alien threat. Up to '''fourteen''' more characters eventually team up with him over the course of the game's story. Each one of them end up being [[One-Man Army|One Man/Woman Armies]] in their own rights. A couple of characters are even debatably more one man armies than Duke himself at times.
Line 224 ⟶ 226:
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Although she's not really close enough to truly fall under this trope, Christina is the most sexually dressed of the main 8 female characters, sporting a strapless halter-top with a red mini-dress, showing a decent amount of cleavage, and wearing bunnygirl-style stockings, completely with black bows, along with a bunny-girl bow around her neck. Her outfit is almost like combining a japanese schoolgirl with a bunnygirl, except she has no bunny ears and doesn't wear high heels. Do note she's 17 years old physically in this form, being an alter-ego of her alien-like form of Nethra, who is actually [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|hundreds, maybe a thousand years old]].
* [[Tank Goodness]]: Another one of Naferia's Reign's smaller features is the ability to actually find ''empty'' versions of the Riot Tanks the Pigcop use in Episode 4 of Duke Nukem 3D and ''use them for your own ends''. 13 of the 15 characters (ESSence and Cybanis are too large to use them, boo!) can board any empty tank they find and use it as both an extra pair of weapons and an extra layer of protection from attacks. There are three colored tanks in the game, the standard green tank, which has a primary weapon of bullets similar to pistol rounds with an alternate weapon of laser beams, the blood-red colored tank shoots RPG rockets for both of it's attack types, while the dark-blue tank has shotgun shells as it's primary attack with sprays of the Microwave Expander as it's secondary attack. All attacks are rapid fire and infinite in ammo. Tanks also protect the character driving them from all damage except when a character incorrectly uses a security keypad or security handprint-scanner [or any 'usable' hazard on the walls]. The downside is that Tanks cannot be taken between two maps, and they stay at a set experience level and cannot gain experience once found, although their HP/Armor/Attack/Defense can still be increased by stat-increase bonuses and they can use Portable Medikits, Scuba Gear and Protective Boots for extra effectiveness, and when driving a vehicle, the empty 16th slot in the character submenu will show the ''Tank's'' stats and allows you to use various healing/armor items on it from the inventory or skill submenus. A final note is that in most recent versions a compressed version of the empty tanks can be found and carried as an inventory item in the form of [[Dragon Ball]]-equse capsules.
* [[The Nameless]]: The mod actually subverts this and gives the formerly nameless aliens of [[Duke Nukem|Duke Nukem 3D]] a species name: ''Triocladiar''.
** The Mysterious Woman is also this for the most part, unless you look at a specfic magazine cover or use the debug-variables option in the Toggles Submenu. Why her name changes with debug mode on, we have no idea.
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: Subverted more or less with Ami and Minako. Although Ami and Minako can transform into their [[Sailor Moon|Sailor-fuku]] clad states in the modification, the transformations are instantaneous. Additionally, they actually start off in their "civilian" forms in game, in which civilian form gives a small boost to their damage at the cost of some reduced damage resistance, while being in "Senshi" form inverses this, making their damage weaker, but their damage resistance above average. They also seem to possess a ''third'' transformation state that is called a "Balanced" form, where they don their planetary-princess dress and other attire. However it's only balanced in that the benefits are even, an even +200% Damage ''and'' +66% Resistance to damage. Balanced form however will drain the EP of Ami and Minako when in these forms and if they run out, they will revert back to normal form.
** In a sense, [[Bubsy]] has this. Appearantly the [[The Mask (film)|Loki Mask]] has some kind of role to play for him in the future, as he can transform into a [[Jim Carrey]]-esque form with the yellow trenchcoat and fedora and all. This form also drains at his EP when used, but he has stronger attacks, better jumping strength, a random chance to totally null damage from any attack regardless of it's normal strength, and possibly a few other benefits.
