History Characters / AnotherCrabsTreasure

* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:In the post-game cutscene, it's revealed that (presumably) Kril retrieved the hourglass Konche used as a shell for a memorial site in front of the old hermit crab's museum]].

* BloodKnight: She has a serious passion for violence against the injustices of the world, to the point where Grovekeeper Topoda rejects her as a pupil because her "enthusiasm" makes him nervous.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:It's never outright stated she died from the wounds Kril inflicted on her as a result of their fight, and the collapse of Trash Island leaves him unable to check on her. Averted in the credits, where she's shown drilling under Grovekeeper Topoda]].

* YankTheDogsChain: After traversing through thick and thin, directing and following Kril through the Unfathom and beyond, he manages to see [[spoiler:the Perfect Whorl]] with his own eyes. A legend in itself and something any archaeologist or museum curator would give anything to obtain. [[spoiler:Right as he says how much he and Kril can change the world with it, he's [[KilledMidSentence stabbed through the back and out his chest]] by Chitan possessed by the Praya Dubia. His last words reflect his frustration as he says "Oh, coddammit" right before dying]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Both its existence and role in the game are alluded to when Kril winds up in the Mouth of the Drain. It starts speaking to him when he first arrives in the Mouth of the Drain, though it is unclear whether it is real or just imagined. The same voice can also be heard when Kril speaks to what appears to be a glowing tube-like creature with a bulbous head.

* StrawNihilist: As a manifestation of negative Umami, it's the culmination of the polluted ocean's despair and pain, and spends much of its screen time ranting about the untenably horrific state of the world.
* VillainousBreakdown: Its entire second phase, where it self-destructs, and screams in agony, hoping to kill Kril for good.

* Really700YearsOld: While Konche is clearly an old-timer, he later reveals that [[spoiler:he was a refugee of the destruction of the Old Ocean 30 years ago. That may not seem old to you and me, but it alarms Kril, which makes sense when you consider that real-life hermit crabs live to be about 15 years old. That would make Konche positively ancient.]]

* MightyGlacier: In his first phase, his he'll is so thick and heavy that he can't even move his main body, using a toilet brush as a sweeping weapon or to shoot bubbles that afflict the Scour status and striking with both his free claw and occasionally one of his legs. After his health is depleted, he's "reborn" by molting his shell and becomes [[LightningBruiser much faster while retaining his strength and getting new attacks]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:She is seized by the Praya Dubia and forced to fight Kril after murdering Konche, and from her brief moments of lucidity she wants nothing to do with the creature and begs Kril to help her]].

* DrunkWithPower: When the Hermit Crab elders had created the Perfect Whorl, Camtscha was afraid that they might overthrow him, causing him to exile and/or execute all of them and destroy all of their artifacts but the Perfect Whorl, believing that the artifact will make him even more powerful. He had never figured out how to use its power though, and hid it below his throne so that only he can use it.

* ImmortalityImmorality: During the second phase of his boss fight, Camtscha starts ranting that he refuses to die, and that he has been reborn "eon after eon". It's unclear how exactly Camtscha has remained alive for as long as he has, considering that he was unable to use the Perfect Whorl for his own benefit.
** Though it's possible he's in some kind of cycle of reincarnation. When he gets old, his shell gets big and bleached, but he can simply crawl out of it as a younger, pinker version of himself. The fight, after all, features both versions of Camtscha.

-->"Livin' ain't always fun. Maybe not even half the time. But livin's what we do. It's all we can do. We pick our dad lil' selves up, we put on our war face, and we shuckin' ''survive.''"

* KnowNothingKnowItAlll: [[spoiler: Firth claims to know everything about economy and currency, believing that groveling and following the rich will make him rich in his own way. However, his grand plan of sinking trash island to boost the microplastic economy is the equivalent of trying to fix an economic crisis by simply printing more money, rather than looking at the deeper complexities caused by an economic crisis, such as inflation, interest rates, recession, economic depression, and the even value of a country's currency.]]

* NominalHero: Kril's primary motivation in the game is to simply get his shell back from Prawnathan and return to the Tide Pool.

* UnscrupulousHero: Kril is only on the treasure hunt to get his shell back from Prawnathan and return to the Tide Pool.

* HeroicBSOD: Has one when he and the crew falls down the Mouth of the Drain. He is stricken with guilt that he might have caused the deaths of all of the other crew members, all for worthless "damp paper", which Firth berates him for. When Nemma saves him from a set of sand mites, he also tells her that he feels completely worthless, and might as well be left behind.

* GrewASpine: Though he initially starts as a nervous wreck that becomes horrified at his acts of self-defense, over the course of the game, Kril becomes more and more heroic, coming to terms with the fact that he may never get his shell back. He also comes to learn that he might as well direct his anger towards those that oppress others when Chitan tells him to do just that.

* DrunkWithPower: After defeating [[spoiler:Pagurus the Ravenous]], Kril gleefully remarks to himself that he feels powerful and only then does he concede that "that lobster" ([[BloodKnight Chitan]]) might have had a point about fighting off the Gunk-corrupted monsters.

* DeadGuyOnDisplay: After Kril's return to Slacktide, there are several crabs tied to posts with their "crimes" written on posts beneath.
