Eclipsites in General
Dark creatures that originate from the Secret Territory, Eclipsites make up the bulk of the Eclipse's army. They mostly take the form of anthropomorphic monsters or twisted animals, though suspiciously human-looking Eclipsites exist.
- Bad Boss: Every high-level Eclipsite
- Blade Below the Shoulder: Befitting their Praying Mantis-like appearance, Dreadblades have two curved blades instead of arms.
- Cowardly Mooks: Gloomghasts will actively flee from your party during combat and have no attack skills. This doesn't make them any less dangerous, as on top of being able to heal other Eclipsites, they can do it from a distance and it has an AOE effect.
- Dark Is Evil: They allegedly come from the dark Secret Territory, are called Eclipsites and most are dark in color. Unusually for this trope, they also use just as much white in their color schemes, or at least an ashy grey. Given that Caelestite culture had white as a prominent color and once controlled the Eclipse in the past, this could signify the connection between them.
- Dark Secret: After utilizing the Chord of Law against Eclipsites, The Last Caelestite sees a glimpse of the past, showing that at one time in the past, the Caelestites used the Eclipse as an army to attack the rest of the world.
- Enemy Summoner: The Evil Eye and Croweye Eclipsites can't attack or even move, but constantly spawn Dretchers and Probers respectively.
- Giant Mook: Several Eclipsites, such as the Crushers and Warmongers, are so large they take up more than one tile each; however, this also means they can take much more damage from AOE attacks than smaller enemies.
- The Goomba: Dretchers and Slashers don't have any particularly special attack patterns or abilities, and are swiftly dealt with.
Nozard
A high-level Eclipsite with the appearance of a dragon, Nozard is tasked with dealing with the Navigator and their Colossus at the start of the game.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: This guy's so massive that his body takes up 12 tiles in the boss fight...while he's clinging to the side of the arena, presumably because otherwise he'd just take up most of the stage.
- Our Dragons Are Different: He's a dragon-shaped Eclipsite, and like all Eclipsite shares their white-and-black color scheme, with the 'white' parts looking similiar to bone plates. Also, like most other high-level Eclipsites, it's both capable of sapient thought and the ability to speak the language of the Astrals.
- Starter Villain: While Kraken is the first Boss-type Eclipsite fought in the main story, Nozard is the one who hounds the Navigator and their crew for both Chapter 1 and 2, and also leads the assault on Undercity 28.
Schummer
The first main antagonist of Alchemy Stars, she was originally a Caelestite before joining the Eclipse. Piloting the Colossus Aviduz and possessing immense power as an Eclipsite, she intends to destroy the world of Astra.
- Asshole Victim: Twiceover—first through a massive Break the Haughty in Chapter 8 when her Colossus is destroyed and the Last Caelestite sees through her Inferiority Superiority Complex, which causes her to have a massive Villainous Breakdown; then, there's her actual death in Chapter 10 where she's Depowered by Forsakin, humiliated further by the Last Caelestite as she's Left for Dead, before finally Eaten Alive by her fellow Eclipsites. In the end, there is no tear shed among any of the group or the audience, least of all the Last Cealestite, who could give a shit less about her personally and only is more frustrated that they couldn't get answers out of her before she died.
- Boomerang Bigot: Despite being a former Caelestite herself, she has nothing but genuine disdain and resentment of her people and is glad she killed them all, seeing them as weaklings that didn't deserve to live.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Is torn apart and Eaten Alive by a massive mob of Eclipsites she thought were her reinforcements, under the delusion that despite being Depowered that she was still one of them in a psychotic break. It's explicitly stated by Carleen that there's hardly anything left of her after clearing out the rest of the Colossus.
- Disc-One Final Boss: Despite her role as the most personal opponent to the Last Caelestite, being the one responsible for reducing them to the Last of His Kind, she is killed off after her final fight in Chapter 10. As having fulfilled her purpose for Forsakin's experiment, she depowers her and strips her of Eclipsite status... which leaves her at the mercy of the Last Caelestite, but before any answers can be pulled from her, she is Eaten Alive by her 'supposed' reinforcements.
- Dying Curse: As she's being Eaten Alive, she curses the Last Caelestite to her last breath, saying they are Already Too Late to stop the Eclipse and wishes them a crueler fate than what she inflicted on their kind.
- Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: It's made evidently clear that for her Tragic Backstory that led to her massive Inferiority Superiority Complex by being seen and ostracized for her inadequacies, she chose to fully embrace a vile, genocidal path, and there's absolutely no empathy to be had for her crimes.
- It's All About Me: Her modus operandi and entire character revolves around acquiring power for the sake of it, seeing that the whole world has to be bent before her. Her Freudian Excuse reveals that this is due to a massive Inferiority Superiority Complex to Never Be Hurt Again, seeing that having ultimate power and killing literally anyone who refuses to bend the knee is the only way for her to be satisfied.
- Un-Sorcerer: The entire reason why she turned against her people is explained in Episode 9. Though she was talented with her psychic powers as a Caelestite, she could not link up with any Colossi despite all the other Caelestites her age having no problems. This predicament embittered her as she grew older, unable to pilot Aviduz no matter the chances given, the Caelestites bullying her for it, her teacher pointlessly assuring her and her mother shouting at her for this flaw, until one day she went with some Caelestite students on an unsupervised dare to leave Eraveil. This left them prey to Figerald, Schummer emerging the Only Survivor of the slaughter and tempted by him into becoming a Eclipsite for power.

The Mysterious One (Unmarked Spoilers up to Episode 7)
Forsakin / Denier
- Archenemy: Is this to Sinsa after her experiments led to his sister's condition. The feeling however is not mutual, with Forsakin having more of a rivalry with Vivian during their brief fight in Episode 7. Later on in Episode 10S, it's revealed that her real adversary is her sister Reinhardt, who she holds in so much contempt that she looks forward to the possibility of killing Reinhardt herself.
- Lack of Empathy: Forsakin could give a shit less about anyone period, not even worth acknowledging unless she can pick them apart piece-by-piece... and even then, only if they can offer her something interesting to gain from it.
- Mad Scientist: Evidently, seeing as she conducted horrible experiments back in her time working for the Illumina Federation as Denier that led to much agony among children she abducted for it—which included Eve, Sinsa's sister, and Dawn. In the present, as an Eclipsite, she's only gotten more openly sadistic about it.
- Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Explained in Episode 10S. Denier was one of several candidates for Illumina's Grand Marshal position alongside best friends Reinhardt and Helios. Then one day on a mission to retrieve data in the abandoned Undercity 80, expecting light amounts of Eclipsites according to intel, the group was unprepared for the hordes and suffered heavy losses. When Reinhardt (who was forcefully sedated on the Committee's orders) did not return after breaking through enemy lines to call for reinforcements, Denier and Helios had to fight their way out, but Helios was dragged down by Eclipsites and left behind as the Undercity collapsed around him. Ever since Denier returned, her and Reinhardt's relationship soured over the latter's perceived betrayal as well as Illumina's.
- Walking Spoiler: Let's just say a lot about the Eclipsites, and Schummer's origins, are revealed when she comes into the picture.
- We Used to Be Friends: With Reinhardt, who she thought had abandoned her during the doomed mission at Undercity 80, and Helios, who she now sees as nothing more than a test subject.
- The Woman Behind The Woman: Forsakin is responsible for maintaining Schummer's power in the present, using her as a walking petri dish for her latest experiments. That said, she is only Schummer's superior and still beneath the true power on the totem pole of the Eclipsites.
