Top 9 Disgaea Monster Class Units

9) Prinny
Prinny the Peg-Leg Penguin
Reasons: Prinnies are so adorable. Prinnies were once humans and became the way they are after they have died. As a prinny these sinners must pay off their sins (though depending on whether they work in the multitudes of Netherworlds or Celestia, they would be overworked and underpaid or simply do house chores respectively). Don't underestimate these little guys because they know how to utilize machetes and bombs. In some Netherworlds, prinnies have actually even learned how to use a weaker version of Pringer X's signature Pringer Laser. Also, if all else fails just chuck em like they were a grenade because they explode if they're thrown. If I had to talk about specific prinnies such as Kurtis, Fuka, or the Hero Prinny this section would go on forever. Everything is better with penguins.

8) Alraune
File:I wf 068 i.jpg

Reasons: Alraunes are not as cute as prinnies but they make up for that with other attributes. They can use their plant bodies for a variety of different attacks such as buzz-saw flowers, thorn vine whips, and even growing entire forests. They also have an many helpful passive abilities which allows her to heal nearby allies, cure them of ailments such as poison and paralysis, and lessen the amount of effort allies need to use powerful skills. This is one thorn that you don't want on your side.

7) Wood Golem
File:I wf 076 i.jpg
Reasons: The polar opposite to an Alraune, wood golems are all about dishing out the hurt. Not only can they deliver major damage they can take it due to their high durability and self-regenerative ability. On top of their regeneration they can also gain stamina back equivalent to 10% of the damage they incur on to a foe. If you wanna fight the embodiment of the land's anger, you'll be fighting for a good while unless you set it on fire.

6) Fire Demon
File:I wf 078 i.jpg
Reasons: With physical strength that rivals that of the wood golems and the ability to project fire from it's body, it is easily one of the deadliest species of demons of the NIS universe. When it uses melee attacks it can drain the energy of it's foes to increase his own energy supply to allow him to unleash more fire on the battlefield. The only real problem with him is...water. Whatever the case, may the fire the of the Netherworld  incinerate my enemies.

5) Nekomatas
File:D3 Nekomata Cut-In.jpg
Reasons: When compared to wood golems and Fire Demons, Nekomatas might not be up to par in physical strength but they make for that with their martial arts skill and distracting sexiness. Not only do they have a plethora of martial arts techniques but they can also unleash kamehameha blasts, though being as species of cat-like creatures they are easily distracted by things such as butterflies and crinkling paper.

4) Zombie Dragons
File:I wf 075 i.jpg
Reasons: Oh boy. Combining the unusual physiology of zombies and the terrifying powers of a dragon, they are anything but an easy opponent. These guys can take even more punishment than wood golems, breath dark fire, and have a set of chompers that put Arlong from One Piece to shame. If a movie ever comes out about zombies in the medieval Europe, it needs zombie dragons to make it complete.

3) Succubus

Reasons: I think you can see two of them right off the bat. Sexiness aside, Succubus are more magically inclined than most of the other monster units on this list, using high level fire spells, healing spells, spells that transform her foes, and a magical spear. On top of their own plethora of magical abilities, they get along well with Nekomatas whose physical capabilities compliment their own magical talents. It is implied that Succubi are the descendants of fallen angels due to the fact that they can use healing spells and have wings (In the NIS universe, Angels have a monopoly on healing magic and demons in which can use them have some kind of connection or relation to angels).

2) Mystic Beasts
File:I wf 072 i.jpg
Reasons: First, that wicked horn. Second, it's a wolf and I like wolves. That aside, these creatures can move as fast as the wind and can even utilize it's power.

1) Reapers
File:I wf 071 i.jpg
Reasons: I don't even know why I have to go into depth on this one, but I will anyways. These creatures are embodiments of death in which help traffic souls on their way to becoming prinnies and reincarnation from prinnidom (is that a word they use in any NIS game?). His scythe is awesome and is used to butcher his foes and throw it like a boomerang. If his scythe isn't enough, he can send you into a dimension of terror and fear which destroys your body from the inside and out. I gotta wonder though, what's underneath that skull mask?

Top 9 Super Powers I would want and the Top 9 Characters that make me want to have them

Warning: If it seems like I have more than one power for a certain count on this list, it would mostly be because not all the powers I really like happen to have nine characters that I've known over the course of my life.

9) Gravity-Based Powers
Reason: I don't know maybe the fact that power over gravity grants quite a few other abilities, like flight and affecting gravity around your enemy to make them so heavy that can't pick themselves up or so light that they float in the air being left open to other attacks, along with attraction and repulsion.
Characters that make me want to have this power:
-Tso Lan (Jackie Chan Adventures)
-Raven (Gravity Rush)
-Deva Path Pain (Naruto)
-Brago (Zatch Bell)
-Marshal D. Teach aka Blackbeard (One Piece)
-Gravity Man (Megaman)
-King Ghidorah (Godzilla)
-Jareth The Goblin King (Labyrinth)
-Nightmare (Metroid)
Marshall D. TeachJarethehadshot

8) Darkness/Shadow Powers
Reasons: hmm, explaining how the power of darkness is little bit harder to explain. Essentially what the power darkness entails is things such as creating portals of darkness, dark energy blasts (which is a bit of an oxymoron as darkness when taking to account of it's real world meaning is technically the absence of light, which is a type of energy), dark shields, manipulating your own shadow to be a guardian among many other strange abilities.
Characters that make me want to have this power:
-The Shade (Justice League)
-Gekko Moriah (One Piece)
-Ebon (Static Shock)
-Ragna the Bloodedge (BlazBlue)
-Ganondorf (Legend of Zelda)
-Ansem the Seeker of Darkness (Kingdom Hearts)
-Raven (Teen Titans)
-Noob Saibot (Mortal Kombat)
-Sableye (Pokemon

7) Lightning-based powers
Reason: Aesthetically, Lightning-based powers are my favorite. I don't why but zapping people with a million gigawatts of electricity is just awesome for some strange reason. Something about unleashing bolts of highly destructive lightning from your fingertips just looks awesome and powerful.
-Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
-Static Shock (Static Shock)
-Megawhatts (Ben 10)
-Enel (One Piece)
-Zatch Bell (Zatch Bell)
-Thor (Thor)
-The Phantom Virus (Scooby-Doo)
-Raiden (Mortal Kombat)


6) Enhanced and Protected Senses
Reasons: Well, I'd like to be able to know if some that wants to kill me is nearby and there are ways of doing that with enhanced senses. More often than not enhanced sense and enhanced reflexes go hand-in-hand. Enhanced senses is probably the most practical ability that many people seem to take for granted.
Characters that make me want to have this power:
-Sabertooth (X-men)
-Wildmutt (Ben 10)
-Inuyasha (Inuyasha)
-Yoshi (Yoshi)
-D (Vampire Hunter D)
-Martian Manhunter (Justice League)
-Predators (Predator)
-Doggie Cruger (Power Rangers)
-Spawn (Spawn)

5) Superhuman Physical Attributes (This really amounts to high levels of physical strength, durability, stamina, and/or speed)
Reasons: I don't know, being able to destroy a mountain range with a punch sounds pretty awesome. Wouldn't ya think? Or how about having a skyscraper dropped on your head and you come out unscathed? Or even be able to run a 100 mile track and still not be tired? If these being able to do these things do not make for a half-way decent super powered super hero or villain, than I don't know what will.
Characters that make me want this power:
-Superman (Superman)
-Hellboy (Hellboy)
-Hulk (Hulk)
-Fourarms (Ben 10)
-Goro (Mortal Kombat)
-Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong)
-Machamp (Pokemon)
-Samus Aran (Metroid)
-The Terminator (Terminator)
Fourarms OriginalGoroMKSM.jpg

4) Instantaneous Adaptation
Reasons: As if I need to really give an explanation, but I will anyways. First of all, being able to adapt to the superpowers of others the instant you've been exposed to it ultimately means it's game over for them. Okay there are very few exceptions to this, but when someone does have this power they tend to be one of the most difficult foe a hero could ever face.
Characters that make me want this power:
-Doomsday (Superman)
-Venom (Spiderman)
-Shirley (Jimmy/Timmy)
-Meta Cooler (Dragon Ball Z)
-Metal Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog)
-Haru Glory (i.e The Ten Commandments Sword) (Rave Masters)
-The Famed Mimic Gogo (Final Fantasy)
-Megaman (the assimilation of other robot weaponry counts) (Megaman)
-Robocop (Robocop)

3) Ice Manipulation
Reasons: Where lightning is awesome and powerful, ice is graceful and serene. Being able to freeze someone to sub-zero temperatures and shattering their bodies is one hell of a way to go.
Characters that make me want this power:
-Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat)
-Pram (Makai Kingdom)
-Vexen (Kingdoms Hearts)
-Shiva (Final Fantasy)
-Aokiji (One Piece)
-Jin Kisaragi (BlazBlue)
-Froslass (Pokemon)
-Mr. Freeze (Batman)
-Big Chill (Ben 10)

2) Materialization/Nothingness/Assimilation
Reasons: Wouldn't you like to make objects come out of nowhere and annoy the hell out of your enemies?
Characters that make me want this power:
-Tyrant Overlord Baal (Disgaea)
-Chakravartin (Asura's Wrath)
-Giratina (Pokemon)
-Lambda-11 (BlazBlue)
-Xemnas (Kingdom Hearts)
-Exdeath (Final Fantasy)
-Darkseid (Superman)
-Kevin Levin (Ben 10)
-Cell (Dragon Ball Z)


1) Temporal and Spacial Rendering
Reasons: There's no way you can argue against someone who can speed or slow down time around a single object or a large area or is capable of expanding, shrinking, and/or distorting space. This is the ultimate ability for most situations, combat or otherwise.
Characters that make me want this power:
-Ultimecia (Final Fantasy)
-Aeon (Castlevania)
-Professor Paradox (Ben 10)
-Q (Star Trek)
-Arceus (Pokemon)
-Clockwork (Danny Phantom)
-Tabuu (Super Smash Bros)
-Barragan (Bleach)
-Edge Master (Soul Calibur)
