History YMMV / Paladog

** Level 4-3. The levels that restrict the player's selection of units and spells had always been annoying, but this one takes the cake. Wave after wave of [[MightyGlacier miner goblins]], all of which will easily [[WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou take out Paladog]] if even one of them gets close. Your main force consists of the ''vastly'' OverratedAndUnderleveled Monkey the Pirate, who can barely scratch the goblins, even in groups. Your backups are Defensive Tortoise, who can't attack at all and gets overrun easily, and Penguin the Wizard, who is actually useful but is a GlassCannon with the inexplicable tendency to get close to the goblins. The only spells you can hold are Fire (which is so close-range that by the time it would be useful, you're probably already dead), Ice (which only hits one enemy), and Turn Undead (which is a purely luck-based OneHitKill). About the only "strategy" that will work here is repeated abuse of Turn Undead, which means lots of prayer to the RandomNumberGod.

* MostAnnoyingSound: the shopkeeper's incessant grunting.

%%* EarWorm

* GameBreaker: Hood the Rabbit. By virtue of being an archer, Hood is capable of hitting enemies before they even come into range, which is an enormous advantage as this means they can completely avoid getting hit. It's intended to be balanced out by a slow rate of attack, so that the enemies that survive a hit can get in range and take out Hood, who stat-wise is a GlassCannon... but then you realize that Hood is very cheap to summon (as in, second cheapest unit in the game) and that you can just summon nothing but Hood the Rabbit. A slow rate of attack means nothing when the enemy is facing an enormous ZergRush wall of these attacks. And if that's not enough, Hood's SpecialAttack hits ''all enemies in front of him'' as he shoots a [[OneHitPolykill piercing]] [[ArrowsOnFire flaming arrow]]. [[spoiler:Best of all, he stays out of range from both the Ice Dragon's and Dark Lord's ''very'' threatening attacks]].

** A number of the bosses have attacks that aren't very lethal, but simply prolong the time you need to take before your units kill them. Examples are the Frog Witch and Soccer Skeleton, the former temporarily turning up to 5 units into useless frogs, the latter kicking units backwards and knocking them down, forcing them to get back up and make their way to him again.

* GoddamnedBats:
** Ghosts. By far the most irritating enemy in the game, they basically [[{{Intangibility}} turn intangible]] (and completely invulnerable to EVERYTHING) when nearing your front-most troops to bypass them, only rematerializing when they're past your front line. This makes it extremely irritating to take care of them, as well as causing them to stall your reinforcements, or forcing you to keep spare melee troops to catch them in Destiny levels. To top things off, they also have quite a good bit of health and ''very'' rapid attacks. [[ThatOneLevel Did we mention that the first 12 stages of the Icy Glen is chock-full of them?]]
** Ranged enemies. Similar to how Hood can be dangerous in huge groups, these guys are in a similar boat. If too many of them get amassed in one area, prepare to have your non-ranged units get owned by a hail of arrows.

* FridgeLogic: The Critters were supposed to be IncorruptiblePurePureness, but the shopkeeper is literally a greedy pig, and it's explicitly stated that Dark Dog succumbed to brainwashing.

** The final 12 levels contain ''tons'' of spearman enemies. Why? Since they're the EvilCounterpart of [[PratorianGuard Bear the Royal Guard]], it makes sense that they're the Royal Guard of the Dark Lord.

* DemonicSpiders: GiantMook variants of Ghosts. These are ''very'' painful, have a lot of health, and basically do the same thing that ghosts do below.

By far the most irritating enemy in the game, they basically [[{{Intangibility}} turn intangible]] when nearing your front-most troops to bypass them, only appearing when they're past your front line. This makes it extremely irritating to take care of them, as well as causing them to stall your reinforcements, or forcing you to keep spare melee troops to catch them in Destiny levels. To top things off, they also have quite a good bit of health and ''very'' rapid attacks. [[ThatOneLevel Did we mention that the first 12 stages of the Icy Glen is chock-full of them?]]
