History Characters / DestroyAllHumans

* TacticalSuicideBoss: While the first phase of the Roboprez battle is mostly a BulletHell segment, the other two phases consist of an escalating amount of missile spam. These missiles deal a lot of damage to the saucer, but at this point you should've upgraded the saucer's AttackReflector ability to redirect incoming missiles to their source, so all you have to do is circle the mecha at a safe distance while it's being taken apart by its own weapons. Even his BeamSpam attack becomes more of a threat to him than you if you have a fully-upgraded Sonic Boom, which reflects his barrages and deals increased damage when it does.

* MsFanservice: Natalya is a bombshell of a woman who wears tight suits with very little imagination and one of them showing off her impressive cleavage. This is carried over into the remake with the new graphical quality greatly improving her SpyCatsuit. The ending of the remake takes it [[UpToEleven up to eleven]] where instead of her and Crypto lounging in his saucer, they take a vacation to Takoshima where she has a SexySurfacingShot from the surf whilst wearing an orange bikini, [[Film/DrNo Honey Rider]] style

* CatchPhrase: At least once per game he has to scream [[TitleDrop the title of the series]] in as dramatic a fashion as possible.

The protagonist of the ''Destroy All Humans!'' series. Crypto is a member of a race of aliens called the Furons, who all clone themselves due to their race's [[NonHumansLackAttributes lack of genitalia]], Crypto himself having been cloned at least 139 times in-lore. He is on a mission to invade and conquer Earth to harvest human brainstems, which contain Pure Furon DNA, in order to save his race from extinction due to [[CloneDegeneration Clone Degeneration]], but this also won't stop him from having fun as he goes, either through wanton destruction or debauchery.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Its mentioned in ''Reprobed'' that he's had a price on Natalya's head for years, whereas in the original he simply compliments her after they destroy the KGB's spores. This clears up a PlotHole in "From Russia With Guns" where his men go after her alongside the KGB.
* AgentPeacock: A highly competent Majestic agent and a surprisingly durable fighter... who's also an effete, refined fashion plate, dressing in a robin egg blue Carnaby Street mod suit with an added frilly cravat. His ''Reprobed'' design uses the additional levels of detail on his new model to make him look even fancier than before.
* ArcVillain: Revealed to be this for Albion in the city's penultimate mission, where he takes Crypto in for questioning and tries to kill him afterwards.
* ClassyCravat: Wears a cravat underneath his suit to emphasize his flamboyancy.

* DefiantToTheEnd: Spends his last moments mocking Crypto's arrogance, and ''Reprobed'' includes him reaching out for his ParasolOfPain just before he expires.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: After Crypto fatally wounds him, Ponsonby laments how all the international Majestic sectors fell to aliens. When Crypto corrects him by stating he only dismantled the American sector, he angrily asks him if he thinks he's the only alien on Earth before dying. Orthopox simply brushes it off as him going crazy, but its later revealed that [[spoiler:Ponsonby was referring to the Blisk]].

\\

A warrior race of arthropod-like aliens who originally inhabited Mars, defeated by the Furons during an event called the Martian War. The stragglers managed to escape and crash-land on Earth, specifically the north of Siberia, causing the famous Tunguska Event of 1908 in-universe. Their goal is to irradiate Earth from their second base on the moon and transform it into a Blisk paradise like Mars once was. [[spoiler:They're also the main force behind the game's events, as well as the leading power of the Soviet Union for decades behind the scenes.]]

\\

Premier of the Soviet Union and the mastermind behind the KGB's operations across the globe, including the attack on Crypto's mothership. He's plotting to eliminate Furon DNA by destroying humanity itself, an act that seems incredibly genocidal for a world leader. [[spoiler:Except he's also a Blisk under a human disguise, seeking to transform Earth into a new home for his race to prosper in after the destruction of Mars by the hands of the Furons.]]

* MarsNeedsWomen: Crypto abducts her for study to see if the Furon DNA contained within the human race can help the Furon's overcome their CloningBlues.

** The umbrella he carries around makes Ponsonby a reference to [[Series/TheAvengers John Steed]] as well. His concept art shows him wearing a bowler hat, and concept art shows he was intended to have a female partner at one point in development.

* AnythingThatMoves: Will offer "to do" Crypto in her tent should he apologize after insulting Bongwater, no matter the gender of the hippie he's possessing.

* MercyKill: What the remaining human mind of Kojira seeks, but this is ultimately [[AvertedTrope averted]]; Crypto does defeat the monster, but she reverts to her original human form afterwards, still alive but in a state of shock. He spares her life, and tosses money to pay for the therapy she needs afterwards.

* BonusBoss: The fight with him is done as an Odd Job after clearing Shen Long's story missions, requiring Crypto to take down his helicopter using the Saucer.

* RatedMForManly: An attractive, sensitive, intelligent, super-strong man who writes poetry and ''wrestles bears'' in his spare time.

* HeroAntagonist: 50's [[PatrioticFervor jingoism]] aside, Armquist is simply a military leader genuinely trying to protect humanity from an extraterrestrial threat, and clearly [[JurisdictionFriction isn't happy]] about working with Majectic, nor approves of their [[ShadowGovernment plots]].

* ChromeDomePsi: Psychic agents go hatless and have noticeable bald heads. In the remake, they also get [[MyBrainIsBig enlarged craniums]] and [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulations grey skin]].

* BadassBaritone: Fitting for the top of the Furon pantheon, he has a loud, deep, echoing voice.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: After her defeat, she looks mostly the same except for traces of mutated skin, glowing eyes and dirty clothing.

* CameBackWrong: In ''Reprobed'', she returns to her human form post-defeat, albeit with traces of mutated skin, red eyes and growling monstrously.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: While Crypto does forcibly out Eddie to Reeny, Reeny's transphobia paints her in an unflattering light.

* PhraseCatcher: Crypto gets called "little green man!" a lot.

* SonOfAnApe: His go-to insult for humans.

'''Crypto:''' Resist this''. *squish*

** If Crypto has to speak to him to start a mission, he will be completely unaware of Crypto being out of his disguise or gunfire. He'll only cower if he is shot at. Presumably it is due to being ''really'' baked.

* NeverLearnedToRead: Played for laughs in "''Path of the Furon''". While on the 4th Ring of Furon, Crypto and Pox are [[BreakingTheFourthWall talking about how the player has probably heard this dialogue before from a previous playthrough and the Creator/THQ market report reveals that 20% of their playerbase is female]], where Pox shamefully admits he can't read.
