Walking Spoiler: Difference between revisions

== Video Games ==
* Purple Eyes from ''[[Pokémon Ranger|Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]''. He comes in after the [[Not So Fast Bucko]] ending as the new leader, and directly leads into the next villain.
* In ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'', every mention of major villain Teyrn Loghain Mac Tir as a possible [[Player Party]] member is always covered in spoiler tags because the very fact that he can become one is a major plot twist. When that is not possible, he is conventionally referred to as "Secret Companion".
* The infamous Hidden Fun Stuff from ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]''. It's an [[Unusual Euphemism]] for Hell and its resident horde of demons, which will invade your fortress if you dig too deep.
Line 73:
* ''[[Mass Effect]]'' has several examples of this
** The revelation that Sovereign from the first game is the true [[Big Bad]] is treated as extremely sensitive. The Reapers in general are not considered spoiler information, but ''he'' is.
** Legion from ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' doesn't join you until the endgame, and the fact that [[Pronoun Trouble|he/it/they]] even ''can'' be a protagonist is a twist, causing him to be a major source of spoiler tags.
** Morinth from the same game. You can recruit her in place of her mother, Samara, if you choose to betray the latter during the climax of her loyalty mission. Even the fact that the Ardat-Yakshi is Samara's daughter is a twist.
** The Human Reaper from the same game is the final boss, and the entire Collector plot revolves around it.
Line 101:
* ''[[The Binding of Isaac]]'' takes the cake with '''five''' different examples, primarily due to the abundance of [[Brutal Bonus Level|bonus levels]]. The first two, Mom's Heart and It Lives, are mostly out of this territory since their section of the dungeon is almost immediately unlocked. Satan, secret boss of Sheol, is considerably more of a spoiler, but probably more well-known since the Halloween update has been out for a while. The biggest ones are Isaac himself as the standard final boss of [[Bonus Level of Heaven|The Cathedral]], and Daddy Long Legs II/The Tri-Achnid as the ultimate super-secret final boss. (For now, anyway.)
* Non-character example, [[Cool Sword| the Keyblade]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''. Trying to explain what this weapon is and what it's for would likely spoil about 20 games in the franchise, so if you're new to said franchise, it's best not to get into it.
* In ''[[Undertale]]'', there are Asriel Dreemurr and the Fallen Child. We learn about their existence near the end of the neutral route, and they play a role in the Good and the Genocide Routes.
* ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's]]'' is one of the most [[Spoilered Rotten]] game franchises ever made, and ''any'' discussion about the past and motivations of ''any'' character is likely to give something away.
