The Archon is a powerful Protoss unit
Brides are units in Brütal Legend, belonging to the Drowning Doom faction. They are visible from a distance due to the localized storms that hover above them.
Great storm that happens very rarely. It is a sign for great and terrible events in the near future. Concept from The Longest Journey universe.
From a new generation of fighting games, most notably Street Fighter IV, the comeback mechanic allows characters with low health to activate a powerful move or mode.
One or more events from someone's past that negatively affected them. Plenty of video game characters have such pasts.
Electricity is commonly used as a damage-introducing element causing inanimate objects to become harmful (electrified water, floors, cables, etc). It can also refer to a power wielded by characters that generates sparks, is conductive to metal surfaces, forks or branches, and is often blue in color.
Throwing a fireball or zapping your foes with chain lighting are both great examples of evocation magic.
Fetch are otherworldly priestesses in the Myth universe with a grotesque propensity for wearing the skins of their enemies. They find all creatures in their surrogate home to be distasteful, siding with the Dark primarily so that they may be returned to the realm from which they were summoned.
The ability to control the direction and/or behavior of lightning; this may also be connected with the ability to generate lightning. Many games involve characters with lightning element attacks. These are unique because of their potency with water.
Loud ambient noises are often included in many thriller/horror games. These sounds are associated with panic and terror, and can heighten these feelings. Examples of these sounds would be metal chains clanging, footsteps, knocking, creaking doors, etc.
It may or may not be the apocalypse, but someone, somewhere, did something that really distorted the cosmic laws.
Blind dragons that breathe lightning. Supposedly tamed by the orcs.
Pichu is a Pokémon that first appeared in the second generation. Pichu is the pre-evolution of Pikachu, and evolves if its happiness is high enough.
Pikachu is an electric-type Pokémon that evolves from Pichu and can evolve into Raichu with a Thunderstone. Pikachu is the official mascot for the Pokémon series.
Rain can heavily increase the atmosphere of a video game. Some games use it to add detail to an environment, while other games use it to make it difficult to see.
Most difficult to kill non-boss enemy type in Quake. Attacks with a ferocious melee attack in addition to a ranged lighting bolt. Takes half damage from rockets and grenades.
Characters who at some point possess the ability to shrink in size.
Serving as polar opposites to the Jedi, they revel in dark side of the Force and lust power above all else. Sith Lords are identified by their "Darth" title, while lesser Sith and Dark Jedi are not allocated this title.
Like a critical hit, this is a special action invoked from certain attacks in games or caused randomly on attacks by a character's statistic. It causes opponents to lose the ability to attack back for a certain period of time, and usually invokes the hit character to go into a special animation.
The Force is an energy field created by all living things, that surrounds and penetrates living beings and binds the galaxy together. It Is the source from which Jedi draw their power and abilities.
Variable and dynamic simulation of weather conditions can be used to add variety, atmosphere (a rainy day in an RPG) and/or challenge (rain on the racetrack in a driving game) to a game.
