History Characters / AnotherCrabsTreasure

* VillainousBSOD: She appears to be in the middle of one when Kril finally reaches her in the polluted Slacktide. Though she claims she can see clearly now, how worthless her castle and everything around her is, she quickly succumbs completely to the gunk and tries to kill Kril.

* OnlySaneMan: Kril is one of the few characters that even questions the harmful capitalistic system within its setting.

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Even before she goes mad from the Gunk, Magista was a corrupt bully who forced dozens of crabs to pay her tribute and killed them for the most petty of reasons.
* PoisonousPerson: After her corruption by the Glunk, many of her attacks tend to leave puddles of toxic bile behind. If accidentally stepped in, Kril will be affected by the Glunk status, gradually poisoning him over time.

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: She has the clearest view of the foul and unsustainable nature of the trash economy, as well as healthy ways to resist it.

* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:Despite being made out to be the BigBad, Roland never gets to face Kril in battle. Likely justified, as his skills lie in business, not combat.]]

* EpicFlail: The bauble on a chain she seems to treasure operates as her main weapon. It can also leave a puddle of Gunk on the ground when slammed down or open to trap Kril for her grapple move.

* PrecisionFStrike: Calls Roland a "bastard" upon his own death, to show that he never even liked him anyway.

* PaperThinDisguise: The Loan Shark is obviously not a real shark, but a grabber toy wearing a cowboy hat. It seems to fool Kril just fine though, who never comments on them being the same person.
** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in a case of FridgeLogic: Kril has probably never seen a grabber toy, and thus could never tell it apart from a real shark.

* GenuineHumanHide: After fleeing Slacktide, she wears the carapace of another crab as a helmet. [[NotHelpingYourCase Probably didn't help to be wearing it when traveling to Topoda for lessons in combat.]]

A wise old magical Moon Snail.

* PurpleIsPowerful: He is a super powerful, purple colored moon snail. His shells littered around the game also serve as its save points.
* ThirdPersonPerson: It narrates all of its interactions with Kril, with some [[ButHeSoundsHandsome creative editorializing]].

A peacock mantis shrimp that teaches Kril about Umami magic.

* BigBad: While it is not responsible for the Gunk infestation that is threatening to slowly destroy the ocean, it appears to refer to itself as "the Spiral", where those who died from pollution would end up. It's connections with the Perfect Whorl, an ancient artifact from the hermit crab elders, also solidifies it as such. Its ultimate goal was also to manipulate Kril into using the Perfect Whorl to [[OmnicidalManiac put an end to the ocean]].

* GreaterScopeVillain: Despite being thought to be long dead by the events of the game, Camtscha is the entire reason for the establishment of the newer Carcinia, as his actions are what led to the downfall of the entire Old Ocean. [[spoiler: Him stealing the Perfect Whorl also prevented the Hermit elders from using it to save the world from the pollution of the Gunk, thus allowing it to spread unimpeded.]]

* BigBad: While it is not responsible for the Gunk infestation that is threatening to slowly destroy the ocean, it appears to refer to itself as "the Spiral", where those who died from pollution would end up. Its ultimate goal was also to manipulate Kril into using the Perfect Whorl to [[OmnicidalManiac put an end to the ocean]].

* BigBad: While it is not responsible for the Gunk infestation that is threatening to slowly destroy the ocean, it appears to be tied to it in some way, referring to itself as "the Spiral. Its ultimate goal was also to manipulate Kril into using the Perfect Whorl to [[OmnicidalManiac put an end to the ocean]].

* KnightOfCerebus: Compared to all other antagonists in the game's story, the Praya Dubia is played as being the biggest and most serious threat of all. All scenes that involve it are also played dead seriously, in stark contrast to the bubbly, often satirical edge of the rest of the game.

* BigBad: While it is not responsible for the Gunk infestation that is threatening to slowly destroy the ocean, its ultimate goal is still to manipulate Kril into using the Perfect Whorl to [[OmnicidalManiac put an end to the ocean]].

* 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.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Despite being thought to be long dead by the events of the game, Camtscha is the entire reason for the establishment of the newer Carcinia, as his actions are what led to the downfall of the entire Old Ocean. By extension, by [[spoiler:stealing the Perfect Whorl, he also inadvertently caused the creation of the Praya Dubia, and was therefore inadvertently responsible for the entire Gunk infestation that happens in the game.]]

An enigmatic god-like entity found at the bottom of the Drain, and the progenitor of all Gunk.

* AGodAmI: Calls itself "the ocean's one true god." It's later revealed to be a primordial [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrozoa hydrozoan]] made up of negative Umami and damned souls of those that died from pollution in the old Carcinia, but its ocean-wide connection to the Gunk means it's far closer to godhood than anything else Kril encounters.
* BigBad: It is revealed to be the progenitor of the entire Gunk infestation that occured in the game by the time Kril finally encounters it by the end, doing so through the use of the Perfect Whorl.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Both its existence and role in the game are alluded to when Kril winds up in the Mouth of the Drain. He coughs up a large amount of Gunk, the stuff that was affecting the rest of the sea life, when he recovers, explaining why he heard the voice talk to him earlier. The same voice can also be heard when Kril speaks to what appears to be a glowing tube-like creature with a bulbous head.
* TheGhost: The Praya Dubia is never alluded to until the second half of the game, where it begins talking to Kril directly. Prior to that, it is hinted that "something" had caused the Gunk infestation, with Chitan even vowing to kill whatever caused it. The thing itself isn't ever seen either until the very end of the game, where Kril now has to fight it to obtain the Perfect Whorl.

* OminousObsidianOoze: Its primary means of attack, on a very ocean-wide scale in fact. It produces a black sludge-like substance, Gunk, which strips anyone affected of their humanity, turning them into savage killers.

* 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.
* UncertainDoom: Though it was seemingly defeated after blowing itself up, the Gunk it has produced, heavily implied to be an extension of itself, is shown to have left a major impact on the ocean, with several of the ending cutscenes even showing Kril protecting civilians from the Gunk-infested creatures.
* VillainousBreakdown: Its entire second phase, where it self-destructs, and screams in agony, hoping to kill Kril for good.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Despite being long dead by the events of the game, Camtscha is the entire reason for the establishment of the newer Carcinia, as his actions are what led to the downfall of the entire Old Ocean. By extension, by [[spoiler:stealing the Perfect Whorl, he also inadvertently caused the creation of the Praya Dubia, and was therefore inadvertently responsible for the entire Gunk infestation that happens in the game.]]
