Claw/Characters

Currently in construction...

There's one trope shared by almost everyone on this list:
 * Badass Furry - Nuff said.

Nathaniel Joseph Claw
The Hero of this story, he's a pirate known and feared basically everywhere on Seven Seas. After being captured by Le Rauxe and sent to La Roca prison, he finds a note from Edward Tobin, a now-dead prisoner who resided in Claw's cell before him. Tobin's note tells the story about Amulet of Nine Lives which, aside from giving afromentioned nine lives, blesses its wielder with great powers. Intrigued, Claw decides to waltz out of the prison and obtain the Amulet.
 * Art Shift: Cutscene!Claw looks somewhat different from Game!Claw or Cover!Claw.
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: He may ask player to bring him something from the kitchen from time to time should the player forget to pause the game.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Idle Animation
 * Super Drowning Skills: Considering he's a pirate and therefore, someone who should be able to swim... Oh well, Gameplay and Story Segregation.

Tropes applying to bosses in general:
 * No Sell: Unless specified otherwise, all bosses are immune to Pistol, Dynamite and Magic Claw, leaving you only with Sword to fight them.
 * Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: You can try...

Le Rauxe
Apparently a Frenchman working for Spaniards. He managed to capture Claw and send him to La Roca. The first boss the player will face. Quite dissapointingly, he's only a Warmup Boss. Likely by pure accident, he holds the first gem for the Amulet.
 * Anticlimax Boss: For a guy who managed to sink Claw's ship and imprison him, he's surprisingly inept when it comes down to swordfighting.
 * French Jerk: If his name is any indication.

Katherine
Used to serve under Claw, but got kicked out because of her recklessness and sloth. Currently resides in Thieves' forest and is a second boss. As you have probably guessed, she also has one gem.
 * Brilliant but Lazy: She's a Wake Up Call Boss of the very high calibre, despite what Claw Design Document may suggest.
 * Smurfette Principle: The only female boss out of eight of them.
 * Whip It Good

Lugius Wolvington
Magistrate of El Puerto Del Lobo and the owner of third gem which makes him a third boss. As you have probably guessed, a wolf.
 * Anti-Villain: He just happens to stand in Claw's way and doesn't seem hostile(like Aquatis) nor does he is somehow related to him(like Katherine).
 * Big Badass Wolf
 * Hand Blast: Six of them, creating a barrage that's really hard to avoid. Even after nerf, it can still chip away up to 30 hp.
 * Power Fist

Mr. Gabriel
Red Tail's second-in-command. Full of himself. Owns a fourth gem and is a fourth boss. "The soon to be deceased, Captain Claw."
 * Boss Arena Idiocy: Gabriel, we know you're a confident guy, but why the hell would you allow your enemy to switch cannon's direction?
 * Slightly subverted, as those tiles do disappear and he can still halt you with bombs mid-way.
 * The Dragon: To Red Tail.
 * Flunky Boss: Occasionally sends Mooks at you.
 * Puzzle Boss: You cannot hurt him in any way. The only thing you can do is to switch the button so he'll hurt himself with his own cannon.
 * Smug Snake: His pre-battle quote is basically this:


 * Stuff Blowing Up: Throws bombs at you. You won't like them.

Joseph Marrow
"An old friend" of Claw, the leader of pirates from Pirates' Cove, fifth boss and the owner of a fifth gem.
 * Acrofatic: Dodges attacks like crazy and is noticeably rounder than other bosses.
 * Hand Cannon
 * Sword and Gun: And a parrot.

Aquatis
A king of undersea caves, a giant, fat... octopus thing. Immune to everything you have which forces you to look for an alternative solution to fight him. A sixth boss and an owner of a sixth gem.
 * Breather Boss: Once you figure out how to hurt him, he proves to be really easy. Well, you've just faced Marrow and are about to face Red Tail...
 * Combat Tentacles: And he can strangle you with them!
 * For Massive Damage: Not him, but the place behind him which will allow you to drop ceiling on him and hurt him.
 * Puzzle Boss
 * Stationary Boss: Doesn't move an inch during the whole fight.

Red Tail
Claw's greatest enemy though sadly we do not know that much about him. A pen-ultimate boss and an owner of two gems. Unlike other bosses before him, gets out of fight alive(or at least in one piece).
 * Advancing Wall of Doom: Inverted. While the wall in question does exist in the Boss Room, you will be the one who'll end up advancing on it.
 * Blow You Away: If you hear "Western Wind, come forth!", you can consider yourself screwed.
 * Boss Arena Idiocy: Inverted. If anything, his Boss Room is designed so it can enhance his attacks and there's no power-up for you to pick up.
 * Boss Banter: Compared to other bosses, he talks surprisingly much. He's also the only boss to grunt when hit.
 * Damage Sponge Boss: The only way to beat Red Tail is to hit him until he stops moving. The fact that he'll only allow two hits at the time considerably lengthens the fight.
 * Hand Cannon: Owns one and uses it from time to time.

Lord Omar
The Final Boss and a guardian of Amulet. How does he know Claw is anyone's guess. Noted as notoriously hard among the fanbase.
 * Boss Arena Idiocy: Heavily subverted in the first phase of the fight, then straight-out inverted during the second. While weapons necessary to damage him are in the room, getting them can be frustrating.
 * Kill It with Fire: Not the man himself(although he's surrounded by a fire shield), but the traps in his Boss Room are basically made of this trope.
 * Kill It with Ice: Is surrounded by an ice shield once you get rid of the fire shield. And then the circle repeats.
 * Puzzle Boss: During the first phase, you need certain weapon power-up to damage him.
 * That One Boss: Even despite the fact he's Final Boss, he deserves a mention: People were known to lose all of their lives just to get past him.

Edward Tobin
Posthumous Character, but the one who sets the whole plot into motion. It is his note about the Amulet that is found by Claw in La Roca.
