Drowning Doom

The Drowning Doom is the army of the humans that have drank the dark waters of the Sea of Black Tears from Brutal Legend and are led by Ophelia.

History
During the first human rebellion against the Tainted Coil, the human leader, Riggnarok, proved so successful in fighting them that the demons unsealed the Sea of Black Tears. The sea had an allure on the humans and though it granted power to the drinkers, it drove them insane as well. Most of the rebels drank from the dark waters, renaming themselves the Black Tear Rebellion, but it also brought about the rebellion's fall. However many years later, Doviculus once again unsealed the Sea of Black Tears due to Eddie Riggs and the Ironheade army rising up to fight the Tainted Coil. One of the tear drinkers was Ophelia, who'd been abandoned by the Ironehade, because they believed her to be a traitor. With her heart broken by Eddie, she submerged herself in the Sea of Black Tears and what emerged was Drowned Ophelia, determined to have revenge on the Ironheade. Using everything she'd learned from Eddie, Ophelia formed the other Tear Drinkers into her army, the Drowning Doom. With her army prepared, she sent them against the Ironheade, but they managed to fight off her constant attacks. Eventually they went to the Sea of Black Tears and the Ironheade and Drowning Doom faced off in one final battle. Despite being on their home turf, the Doom was defeated and Ophelia was returned to the light.

Trivia

 * The Drowning Doom's design is based on gothic and dark metal and their Megastage reflects this, since it is designed to look like a haunted house and during battle, pumps out gothic metal with haunting harmonies and eerie vocals.


 * The member's of the Doom have different abilities and appearances depending on how exactly they interact with the Sea of Black Tears. For example, the Frightwigs were created from women who washed their hair in the sea to give it supernatural luster and strength. But even after they died, their hair remained alive, digging its way out of their graves with their heads still attached.


 * In multiplayer, the Drowning Doom's strength come from its buffing and debuffing units, so it can manipulate its own strength and that of the enemy army.
