Always a Bigger Fish: Boxxy is subject to this trope in either direction, and instinctively knows if another monster is stronger than it or not. Heel–Face Turn: After the war, she realizes what she has done and begins to repent for both her and her mortal followers' sins. Break Them by Talking: She does this to the Hero of the Hammer, during their Clash of Fate, as part of her strategy to defeat him. Kick the Dog: His wrongful conviction of Fizzy, a gnome that was repeatedly mind-controlled into teaching Boxxy Artificer skills, just so he can force her to make war machines for the Empire for however long the country needs her talents.

Power Gives You Wings: As a Ranked Up Monk, Zone can fly on a pair of angelic wings that materialize at will. Is forced to make several exceptions for Boxxy due to the extraordinary circumstances the monster finds itself in. Her establishing character moment involves her setting fire to the empty remains of a goblin village and then cackling madly in childish glee. Bald of Evil: He takes it one step further by shaving his head, face and eyebrows every day (to avoid contaminating his experiments with stray hair) and is certainly evil. And that's before considering that that Ritual to summon them doesn't actually make the Overlord treat the Warlock as a friend, much less bind it to the Warlock's service.

Operation: [Blank]: Boxxy (with some assistance by Xera) names one of its plans "Operation TASTYCOCK", which stands for " Tasty And Shiny Things Yielded by Chesting Or Cheap Killing". of the prologue, for all of a few minutes, before his carelessness gets him unceremoniously devoured by a Chest Monster. Magnificent Bastard: Lucien certainly has the capability of enacting its plots and schemes flawlessly, but finds that interfering too much with the world is boring.

It wasn't until the Calamity of Monotal happened, however, that it hit critical mass, as the massive resentment and sorrow from the incident itself, combined with the massive abortion of justice that led to the following war, resulted in Teresa becoming completely corrupted by hatred and lies. Talking to Themself: One of her "perks" from the Lord of Dice Rolls allows her to have potentially multiple copies of her mind share her brain.It will do whatever it takes to get what it wants; Boxxy has managed to fool demons into thinking that one of its facades is actually in love.

She falls into a particularly extreme one during the Time Skip near the end of the story, where Boxxy's absence has caused her to become the Overlord of Sloth due to her infinite despair. Hypocrite: Pretty much started the war between the human Empire and elven Republic by allowing a lie of omission to spread like wildfire, giving the Empire an casus bell Took A Level In Bad Ass: Is a Ranked Up individual, giving her greater speed, strength, stamina, and longevity than regular mooks. Super-Strength: Zone's Strength stat is so high that when Boxxy (feebly) tries to take her hostage during its interrogation, the chest's effort is compared to trying to pull down a mountain.

Mostly because he's too busy sitting back and letting things play out for his own amusement to gather followers. Sociopathic Hero: He successfully finds evidence proving that the Calamity was not caused by the Ishgar Republic and which could defuse the escalating tensions between the Empire and the Republic. He's got a huge job ahead of him, cleaning up the Empire and the Clergy, by force of arms if necessary. Took a Level in Badass: Started getting stronger with Boxxy's training, but it was her transformation into a golem that made her really dangerous.
