[[File:Prinny the Peg-Leg Penguin 601.png|frame|It's a prinny, dood.]]

Not actually a character per se, but still deserving of mention. Prinnies are exploding demon penguins who talk like [[Main/Surfer Dudes|Surfer Doods]] which serve as the primary labor force of the Netherworld (Though they exist in Celestia as well and are treated better there). Etna keeps a squadron of Prinnies with her at all times. In fandom, they have been upheld by fans as the unofficial mascots of the franchise, a position since adopted by the developers, [[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?|leading to their own spinoff game]]. All Prinnies contain the souls of sinners and criminals and, as such, are designated by the [[Powers That Be]] as the [[Butt Monkey]]s of the universe.

* [[Adorable Evil Minions]]

* [[The Atoner]]: Prinnies are the souls of dead sinners trapped in penguin suits, and must work at the Netherworld and Celestia to repent and be reincarnated. In Celestia they must do good deeds (usually cleaning and housework) while in the Netherworlds they do menial tasks (cheap labor and soldiers) for low pay in order to earn enough money to literally pay off their karmic debt.

* [[Who's Laughing Now?]]: They did this to ''Etna'' in the second game.

 

''The'' Bonus Boss, Baal first appeared as a Demon ''Lord'' in ''[[La Pucelle]]''. He [[Took a Level in Badass]] in ''Disgaea 1'' where he became known as Supreme Overlord (or "Tyrant") and was the one who was ultimately {{spoiler|responsible for King Krichevskoy's death; it was propaganda that blamed "black pretzels."}} In this game, he became a Prinny after his first defeat; it was assumed at the time that this was a reincarnation. Baal appears again in ''[[Phantom Brave]]'', this time taking the form of a Mushroom-esque monster, an Eringer/Funguy. It was assumed at the time that he had gone through his reincarnation period as a Prinny, yet retained his incredible strength. More of his true nature became known in ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'', Baal does not die when his body is killed, rather he merely finds other host bodies to inhabit and he is as old as the universe itself.. This became ''worse'' in ''Disgaea 2'' when he started getting more than one body. In ''Disgaea 3'', Baal has more of a storyline, he is stealing traits from various characters for some unfathomable reason. Expect lots and lots of [[Level Grinding]] to be anywhere near capable of fighting Baal, his HP tends to be in the millions.

 

Notably, Baal was absent from ''[[Zettai Hero Kaizou Keikaku]]''; in fact, [[Bonus Boss|Valv]][[Makai Kingdom|oga's]] description states that he [[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?|conned Baal out of the]] [[Bonus Boss]] position. Nevertheless, Baal's made his appearance as a Bonus Boss in ''Prinny 2'' and has made his mainstream Disgaea return as a DLC Bonus Boss in ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]''.

* [[Body Surf]]

* [[Bonus Boss]]: Probably the ultimate example.

* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: In all his appearances, his attacks all consist of summoning giant swords.

 

Take all the stats of Baal; and take out [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|any plot description]], and you get Pringer X. A Robot Prinny who tends to be even stronger than Baal and has slowly phased him out as final [[Bonus Boss]] in the series. Originally based on a [[Lethal Joke Character|joke]] Etna made in her [[Never Trust a Trailer|fake trailers]] in ''[[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness]]'', Pringer X nevertheless made an actual appearance in ''[[Makai Senki Disgaea]]'' Episode 8, and became a true Bonus Boss in ''[[Phantom Brave]]''. While Etna has made cheap knockoffs in the [[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?|Prinny]] series called "Pringer Z", they aren't nearly as strong.

* [[Bonus Boss]]: Gained this position in ''[[Phantom Brave]]''.

* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: He's only had plot description ''twice'' in the series: once in [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'s remake, where he was created by several of the bonus characters, and in [[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]], where apparently, according to Flonne, he is Great Flonzor X's rival.

* [[The Speechless]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fUKT8KruQw&t=1m18s Valvatorez learns this] ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|the hard way.]]''

 

[[File:Dg04 Asagi-Asagiri edit 6618.jpg|frame|Stupid Wiki! Couldn't even find a good image of me!]]

The intended heroine of Nippon Ichi's next game following ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'', Asagi's game was dropped after Zetta defeated her and she has become a vagrant [[Bonus Boss]] in all [[Nippon Ichi]] games since, wandering from game to game in the attempt of plugging her own disowned game or trying to commit hostile takeovers to put herself in the main character spot.

* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: The alternate mode in the sequel to [[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?]] in which you play as her in her Prinny form. Possibly the closest she'll ever get to becoming the main character.

* [[Alliterative Name]]: Her full name, as shown in both [[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?]] and it's sequel, is Asagi Asagiri.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

 

[[File:dis2-pleinair2 edit 8848.png|frame|...]]

Yuichi "Haradaya" Harada's mascot, she first appears in the first game as a guide to the Dark Assembly (and in the remakes, a [[Game Breaker|very broken recruitable character]]), and then returns in the second game to take over Etna's role of providing "previews" of the next chapter, in the form of a news broadcast. Accompanied by her rabbit, Usagi, who is also her emergency food source. Usagi's the one who actually does all of the talking.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Moreso in art that may or may not be canon. While it's by the original artist, but doesn't quite fit with the canon, although eating Usagi isn't exactly very nice.

** When recruited as [[Downloadable Content|DLC]] in ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]], Mao is scared of her or rather her legion of fans.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

 

[[File:300px-Prism Red Big Disgaea 2 8926.jpg|frame|Let me make this perfectly clear! I have no friends.]]

Self-proclaimed heroes of justice, the Prism Rangers cameo in each of the main series of Disgaea games. They fight evil, [[The Power of Friendship|declare the power of love and friendship]], [[Failure Is the Only Option|and fail miserably in each and every one of their appearances]]. [[Unknown Rival|Really, they're not even on the protagonists' radar]]. [[Butt Monkey|They are almost the human equivalent to Prinnies.]] But they mean well! Well, Prism Red does. [[Idiot Hero|And they're all pretty moronic]]. [[Crapsack World|And this is Disgaea]]. [[Inspirationally Disadvantaged|But they try]] ''[[Inspirationally Disadvantaged|really hard]]''.

* [[All Your Colours Combined]]

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Super Sentai|Guess to what.]]
