An Easter Egg is an intentionally hidden cheat or hidden content in a video game, also known as a "secret".
Ahh, eating... We can't live without it, and, apparently, neither can some characters. From snakes to dots, games have odd ways of dishing out their dishes.
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.
Frequently seen in RPGs and Fighting games, The EHI helps players calculate the current health of opponents.
Any weapon that shoots laser and plasma beams or energy bolts rather than conventional bullets.
Missions during which players are tasked with protecting a non-playable character or object from harm until a certain goal is met.
Many video game villains oftentimes laugh in evil ways, be it a vicious cackle, a sneering chuckle, or a booming laugh. Common evil laughs often include "Bwa-ha-ha", "Mwa-ha-ha", or "Ho ho ho".
A dark version of a game's hero, featuring many of the same powers. Usually wears black. Male evil twins often have goatees.
A punctuation mark that is used to express intense emotion.
An environmental hazard that can be exploited to inflict massive areal damage, exploding barrels are one of the most ubiquitous objects to be found in games. The most common methods of ignition include shooting and throwing. Exploding barrels are usually distinguished from the non-exploding kind by a conspicuous red tint.
A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
Fairies appear in many games, usually as a race that will assist players with magic. Fairies are almost exclusively female.
An industry game design convention that's appeared in many games over the years. The fetch quest involves sending the player out to collect a certain number of items, and return them to complete the quest. A staple of the RPG and Adventure game genre.
In games, fire can be an obstacle, a tool, a weapon, or a solution. Just don't play with it...unless you really want to.
Someone who fights fire.
Cold-blooded aquatic animals that have scales and breathe through gills.
A small, parasitic insect that can hop great distances. They can be killed with a flea collar, but good luck finding one that small and getting it around its neck.
It's not just for airplanes anymore: Game mascots and MMO players alike have taken to the skies. Players can use flight to quickly navigate large levels, find hidden items, or take opponents down.
The floppy disk is a symbol for saving data that originated back when floppies were still the dominant format for computer games, but has persisted long after the technology became obsolete.
Enemies that prefer to keep a distance to the ground, and swoop down occasionally to do some damage.
A group of frost people from Jotunheim, one of the Nine Realms.
The concept of a game referencing another game through mockery, parody or even directly. A game reference to the same franchise does not count.
Video games that are based on comic books, manga and graphic novels.
A gang isn't just two crude dudes, it's a whole mess of them. There's all kinds of different gangs represented in games: street gangs, organized criminals, and even high school cliques.
These spooky entities are the spirits of the dead, returned from beyond their graves for generally sinister purposes. There's generally about even odds whether a particular ghost will be helpful or malevolent towards the living, but some ghosts just want to be left alone entirely.
A gigantic dweller of the deep; this creature has been featured in many video games, movies, stories, and legends. Beware, when a giant squid is near, for death (or fun) follows.
Giraffes are the tallest mammals that live in Africa and have brownish spots.
Creatures that bleat. Some are also satanic.
A large species of primates.
The police force of Gotham City. Because they are often corrupt, they frequently clash with Batman, though sometimes they are legitimate and act as (reluctant) allies to him.
