Misery Season 5
KatiaLifts
Katia grew up far from the spotlight, raised in a humble corner of Monstown by her dad, a fishmonger, and her beautician mother, Pinky Flash, who filled their home with color, blush, and laughter. Katia's love for fitness sparked before she could even walk, tiny paws bouncing in rhythm as she danced with her mom to televised aerobics classes.
After school, Katia worked part-time at a local gym, sweeping floors, folding towels, and studying every lift and stretch she saw. With her modest salary, she bought herself a smartphone: her most treasured tool. During quiet hours at work, she began recording short videos offering simple fitness tips. Her friends adored them, and encouraged by their excitement, Katia launched a dedicated account: KatiaLifts. From there, she began posting consistently and eventually streaming, sharing routines with anyone who tuned in.
Her following exploded. In Elektra, she became one of the most beloved content creators, known not only for her workouts but also for her collabs: makeup tutorials with Pinky Flash, cooking videos with her dad, and wild challenge videos with her friends Butterrock and Ember. Life was bright!
Then President Canine rose to power.
Katia was stunned when, during the massive shutdown of communications across the nation, KatiaLifts remained untouched. At first, she brushed away her worries—after all, her channel allowed her to support her family through what became known as the Misery Era. But deep down, a cold suspicion grew: the government was using her platform to distract the people of Monstown, keeping them entertained while they spread darkness.
She couldn’t accept that. Katia came from humble origins, and she understood hardship. She wasn’t blind to the suffering of citizens, especially those risking everything to fight for freedom. She admired them fiercely and felt their cause tugging at her conscience.
So when Klark Waine and Hackster reached out, asking her to use her platform and advantages to stand against President Canine, she didn’t hesitate. She stepped forward as both the creator her followers loved and the devoted daughter of a working-class family who knew which side of history she wanted to stand on.
If Monstown needs a revolutionary, KatiaLifts is here for them.
KatiaLifts is a Heavy Hitting Attacker with Sunburn, Repentance, Curse, Critical, Physical Weaknesses and Injury.

Butterrock
Butterrock was always the toughest girl at the gym where KatiaLifts worked. Katia admired her from the start, and the two quickly became friends. When Katia began uploading content, Butterrock cheered her on more than anyone, promising to jump into videos whenever Katia felt shy or short on ideas. She kept that promise—and thanks to those cameo appearances, Butterrock unexpectedly became a little famous herself.
Despite the attention, Butterrock doesn’t take her newfound fame too seriously. She still shows up at the gym, hangs out with her friends KatiaLifts and Ember, and just goes about her life, doing her own thing.
Butterrock is a Brute Attacker with Trample, Shield Slam, Shield Break, Double Life, Shields, and Quicksands skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Tough
Rank 1: All allies Immune to Stun

Ember
This nerdy little monster is one of the coolest folks at Monstown High. With her superpower, she’s been tempted to join the Elektra Patrol—but she’s also fascinated by chemistry and physics, so it’s too soon to pick a career! For now, her favorite thing to do is create spectacular (and extremely dangerous) challenges for her friends KatiaLifts and Butterrock to film and upload. These challenges include everything Ember loves: science experiments, physical tests, and, of course, SO much fire!
Ember is a Buffer Support monster with Critical increases, Trait Protection, Healing, Shield, and effect removal skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Hardened
Rank 1: Immune to Freeze
Rank 3: Status Caster: Gains Hydrophobic Shield at the start of its first turn
Dualis
Dualis is a superhero. That, in his case, probably needs to be specified. Because Dualis constantly crosses the line between good and evil, and vice versa. He's a method actor, or so he likes to describe himself. He says, "To stop a supervillain, you need to think like one. And most of the time, you need to act like one, too." Hmmm, okay, Dualis. If you say so.
Dualis is a Dark and Light Attacker with Hurt skills and Control Immunity as a Trait. Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Immune to Control
Rank 1: Immune to Blind
Rank 3: Status Caster: Gains Anticipation at the start of its first turn
Elektrorex
This is what an interaction with Thundorc will do to a Dendrosaur.
The story goes like this: the Barbarians were looking for new large beasts to assign heavy labor around their camp and, unable to find suitable recruits among themselves, they went snooping around the Saurian colony. There, they found a pack of over a dozen Dendrosaurs, and they thought, “If we take one, they won’t even miss it.”
Thundorc took the initiative, assuring the rest of the expedition that she’d be able to handle it easily. At first, everything went exactly as she predicted: she attacked and shocked the Dendrosaur, and the rest of the Barbarians quickly surrounded and tied it up. They started the journey back to the Barbarian camp, but things began to go terribly wrong as they neared home. The Dendrosaur began to react physically to Thundorc’s shock attack. It convulsed, its hide turned yellow, and large dorsal plates emerged from its back. By the time they reached camp, the Dendrosaur had fully transformed into an entirely different beast... One the Barbarians could not control and would never be able to train for heavy labor.
In fact, the moment they untied it, it bolted, discharging electricity as it fled back to the Saurian colony where it still belonged.
That was the birth of Electrorex.
Elektrorex is a Thunder and Magic Tank with Hurt and Torture skills, and Taunt as a Trait.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Hardened
Rank 1: Immune to Electrified
Rank 3: Status Caster: Gains Taunt at the start of its first turn
Gauntah
Barbatos Rex and Nebotus, Evil Lord, have never seen eye to eye. When Nebotus first conquered Petra during the Corruption Era, he aided The Inheritor in overthrowing Barbatos from the Throne of Hell. Now both Nebotus and Barbatos are back in power, and Barbatos has neither forgiven nor forgotten Nebotus’s dirty move.
It would be convenient for Nebotus to maintain a functional relationship with the Underworld, but he is irritated by Barbatos’s cold shoulder so, to annoy him just a little, Nebotus has stolen a couple of Underworld Dwellers with the help of the Dark Blades’ fighters, converting them into recruits for his allied factions. Gauntah, for example, he has kept for his own Souls’ Lair. She is priceless: a mercenary demon in perfect shape, utterly ruthless and perfectly disposed to carry out whatever terrible request Nebotus makes, no questions asked.
Gauntah is a Fire and Dark Attacker with Life Stealing skills and Resurrection Block as a trait.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Hardened
Rank 1: Resurrection Block
Rank 3: Status Caster: Gains Life Regeneration at the start of its first turn
Dekishi Onna
The monsters of Honor Dojo have been condemned to confinement in a camp on the outskirts of the Eastern Regions, a place where neither health, sustenance, nor dignity can be found. To make everything worse, every night Yaouguai Wanghou sends them a spectral tormentor, Dekishi Onna, whose only job is to haunt the monsters of Honor. With a screeching voice, she delivers the news they dread most: the details of their crushing defeat at the hands of Fury Dojo.
Dekishi Onna is a Water and Special Controller with Time Stop, Vulnerable, and Toxins skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Immune to Possession
Rank 1: Immune to Blind
Rank 3: Status Caster: Applies Vulnerable to all enemies at the start of its first turn
Furnyssa
Barbatos and Nebotus don't like each other so, just to annoy the King of Hell, Nebotus has stolen a couple of Underworld Dwellers with the help of the Dark Blades’ fighters, converting them into recruits for his allied factions. One of them was Gauntah, whom Nebotus kept for his own Souls Lair. The other one had to go to his partners in crime, of course.
Furnyssa might come from the Underworld, but it's as if she were born (well, she's undead, but you know what we mean...) to be a Dark Blades mercenary. She's so unnecessarily brutal to her victims that Hexer Alb and Darquarium are both jealous of her and fascinated by her creativity.
Furnyssa is a Metal and Fire Attacker with Extra Turn skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Immune to Control
Rank 1: Area Dodge
Rank 3: Status Caster: Gains Stamina Regeneration at the start of its first turn
Pyrotto
Pyrotto wasn’t supposed to become a pirate at all. He was meant to settle down as Herrerio’s apprentice at the Barbarian camp—quiet, predictable, safely out of everyone’s way. But when his brother, Baddy Crimson, ran off to join Shork’s crew, Pyrotto chased after him. And when Baddy inevitably got himself kicked out and drifted over to Cavenfish… Pyrotto followed him again.
So here he is: side-by-side with his brother, driving Cavenfish slowly and steadily insane. One goblin is a headache; two goblins are a full-blown crisis. And Cavenfish is absolutely not equipped to handle it. By now, Baddy and Pyrotto have more or less taken control of the ship: rolling cannons wherever they please with no regard for balance or the waves underneath them, firing bottles at passing vessels from the highest mast, and generally operating on pure goblin instinct.
Pyrotto is arguably the more dangerous of the two, mostly because he’s oblivious, fearless, and astonishingly dim. What once seemed like a lucky break for Cavenfish is almost certainly going to end with him losing command… or the entire ship.
Pyrotto is an Earth and Dark Attacker with Triple Damage, Pirate Mark, Bleed, Ignite, and Precision skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Mechanical
Rank 1: Energized
Rank 3: Status Caster: Gains Area Dodge Hater at the start of its first turn
Quarter Jack
KatiaLifts’ boyfriend is just as much of a sportsmonster as she is, but while she’s a gym animal, Quarter Jack prefers team sports. He’s tried a few, but truly excels at football. That pigskin fits into his hands like it was made for him. His talent was already obvious in high school, where he earned a university scholarship, and now he’s the superstar quarterback of the Elektra-U Lions.
Quarter Jack is living his dream, but it’s hardly a dream without freedom. These days, his university has been taken over by President Canine’s Educational Committee, and it’s anything but educational. The committee exists only to monitor students and ensure they don’t rebel against the government, or the Alliance of Evil in general. However, Quarter Jack’s courage can’t be controlled by any institution, and he’s doing everything in his power to free Elektra along with KatiaLifts and all the rest of Citizens!
Quarter Jack is a Dark and Thunder Controller with Trait Disable, Fear, Stun, Electrified, Shock, and True Vision skills.
Evolving Trait:
Rank 0: Tough
Rank 1: Immune to Tortures
Rank 3: Cold Blood
Rank 5: Status Caster: Gains Immunity to Control at the start of its first turn
