Even Evil Has Standards: Paraphrased by Gnarl when describing the poor hygiene of green minions.Being attacked by hostile Blues is kinda sad, though. (Even More) Evil Counterpart: The Wizard, the Overlord you're technically usurping gets his own brand of Minions, darker and meaner than your own.

It's possible to free the elves, or ensure their extinction. Enslaved Elves: The homeland of the elves is a haunted forest littered with ruins, and the elven populace has been dragged off to slave for the dwarves.By the time you face him, The Wizard is long gone, and the True Overlord basically just wears his body 'till he can find something better. Enemy Within: The Wizard was possessed by the evil spirit of your predecessor, and was slowly taken over by him.Dwarves: Following your previous 'fall', and prior to your awakening, the Dwarves attacked the Elven forest of Evernight out of sheer greed, nearly annihilated the entire Elven race, and took the last survivors as slaves. Gnarl cheerfully comments that he hasn't seen an 'Of Doom' weapon in years, before explaining its powers. Doomy Dooms of Doom: In the Evernight Abyss, you can find a mold for the 'Mace Of Doom'.The Dragon: In the first game, the playable Overlord serves as the unwitting Dragon to the Old Overlord.It's essentially the fantasy genre turned on its head. Meanwhile the generic Evil Overlord the player controls can manage to prove much more likable than them after their fall because of his Pragmatic Villainy. The former heroes, having nothing left to fight for after defeating an Overlord, go back to their homes and become complicit in their fame and power as they have little else to live for, causing them to easily become corrupted. Once you've beaten back the invading forces, it's up to you what to do with them. Mostly because the dude is twice your size and you're big to begin with. Les Collaborateurs: When Kahn takes over the first village you conquered, most of the peasants switch sides in a hurry.In the main game he starts worshiping the Wizard within seconds of his arrival, then he conspires to free the Forgotten God in the expansion. Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: The Jester is a textbook case.In cutscenes centered on a death, the vanquished simply glow with red light. Bloodless Carnage: Every death is clean and Everything Fades.And yes, the armor and helmet are permanent fixtures. With maxed-out corruption, you ARE a Black Knight. Black Knight: Your armor starts out metal-colored, but as your Corruption-level rises, it gradually darkens.However, at this point in the game you almost certainly have a high enough minion cap that there's no mechanical reason not to do both. But Thou Must!: You have to choose between saving the elves or taking the dwarf gold.For reference the latter are so bad the peasants will initially cheer you on when you fight them and consider you a hero. Black-and-Gray Morality: If you go down the Anti-Villain path the game becomes this, as the Overlord is a villain in name only mainly fighting genuinely evil and psychotic Fallen Heroes.Big Bad: The Wizard, who is possessed by the previous Overlord.The Berserker: Kahn, the Fallen Hero of Wrath.Bar Brawl: You can earn corruption points for starting one in Heaven's Peak in the first game.
