Trap Master	comment	Oh, you think you escaped the villain's grasp? You think you've successfully broken into a defenseless child's house to rob them? Oh boy, are you in for a surprise! Open that door, I dare you. It's definitely not rigged to some horrific Death Trap. Jump through that window — it's sure to not have rusty spikes waiting for you at the bottom. Thought you could turn the key into that closet did you? Well good news — a gun is about to go off in your face! You have accidentally come across the most annoying and sadistic pre-planner of all time, known simply as "the trap master". Are the traps illegal? Are they in any way realistically functional? Is there any possible way that the trap master could have set them up in a way that doesn't warp space and time? None of that really matters because no matter what you touch chances are it activates a Booby Trap that will lead to your hilarious death. Or possibly your embarrassing capture if you're lucky. People that fall for the traps are usually Too Dumb to Live and/or a Determinator and don't know when to quit during their pursuit of whatever they are trying to achieve. On the other hand, sometimes it's necessary to take the risk for lack of a better alternative. It is not unusual for the Trap Master role to be given to The Engineer or The Smart Guy of a group. A character that is Crazy-Prepared will inevitably expose that they have at least dipped their toes into this trope's pool at some point or another. In a Fighting Game or similar media a Trap Master character is Difficult, but Awesome, depending on mind games and often not capable of matching other characters blow-for-blow without softening them up first with the traps. Even with this kind of gaming balance, it's not unusual for players who follow an Attack! Attack! Attack! gaming style to call for a Nerf because when they do fall into the traps, they are in for a world of pain. Has nothing to do with the similarly-named specialists in the Skylanders series.

When drawn or played he immediately sics the top trap card in the deck on the player fighting him, meaning he inflicts Bad Stuff before the battle has even started. To counter-balance this, his actual Bad Stuff (the penalty you take should you lose against him) is: "He leaves you in one of his traps and strolls off laughing. The idiot. No effect."

Trap Master / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: Pernida has the ability to plant his nerve cells inside inanimate objects, allowing him to move and control them. He does such a thorough job of controlling the environment, he manages to surprise the normally Crazy-Prepared Mayuri Kurotsuchi a few times and incapacitates Kenpachi Zaraki after catching him once. Szayel, one of Aizen's Espada, has a palace rigged up with fiendish devices that seal off Renji and Ishida's powers and keep them from escaping. He'd be a tough opponent anywhere, but on his home turf he's almost unbeatable. He makes mincemeat of them until Mayuri, who's been watching and is ready for Szayel's tricks, saves the day. It's no accident that Mayuri was in both of the previous fights. He's a Trap Master who brings the traps to you — Kubo has to pit him against similarly tricky characters because no one else would last long enough. And while we've never seen Mayuri fight in his Squad 12 headquarters, we know they're incredibly hard to break into (though to be fair, we know this because Urahara keeps doing it anyway).

Trap Master / int_565376b1	comment	In Orcs Must Die!, the Apprentice (and the Sorceress in the sequel) is a outstanding example. His direct combat skills, while impressive on their own right, are NOT enough to fight against the relentless orc's hordes that you'll be facing. Indeed, the gameplay's true core (and the hero's real strength) resides in the clever use and placement of a plethora of traps in order to create intricate Death Courses capable of taking down massive quantities of enemies. In Orcs Must Die! Unchained, while all characters can use traps, the original protagonists (now named Maximillian and Gabriella) have abilities that emphasize trap usage. The former has a passive 15% discount on the cost of traps while the latter can fire a wave that instantly triggers all traps, allowing for massive combo kills.

Trap Master / int_5bfa9c98	comment	Vauban of Warframe is a master trapper after his rework. His playstyle is highly defensive, allowing him to control whole swaths of the map—throw down a few small grenade-like spheres, and some kind of horrible proximity event happens to enemies. Examples include electroshock drones (which can roll after enemies), tether trap mines to hold down enemies, nail grenades that cover a twenty-meter radius in high-velocity metal spikes, accelerator pads to fling enemies into walls and off cliffs, and a special gravity device that either lifts enemies off their feet and keeps them from advancing or becomes a tiny black hole to suck enemies into its event horizon. Vauban players must be creative to string together the best trap configurations to eliminate enemies... or the best trap configurations to humiliate enemies, for the more sadistic.

Trap Master / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons The Grimtooth's Traps supplements are full of ever more fiendish traps, all hosted by a Troll named Grimtooth. Some of D&D's most legendary classic adventures, including I6: Ravenloft and Tomb of Horrors, largely or entirely consist of a dungeon-crawl through the lair of a trap master. Tucker's Kobolds. What are they? Just a tribe of ordinary kobolds who leveraged their advantages ruthlessly to make invading their warren a nightmare. The adventuring party they were sprung on preferred to carve their way through demons than face them. Emerald dragons are profoundly paranoid, and like to booby-trap their lairs as extensively as they can to ensure their safety when resting within them. Intruders into an emerald dragon's home have to contend with a maze of confusing tunnels littered with deadly traps, ranging from simple spiked pits and pitfalls into lava to complex magical contraptions.

Trap Master / int_6c1234ed	comment	Some people play Dwarf Fortress exactly like this, but with added lava. You can already call down some true hell on enemies with just the ones the game intended, like sawblade-stuffed weapon traps, cages, falling stones and Indiana Jones-style spears shooting out of walls. Add smashing drawbridges, lava pumps and heavy minecarts full of sharp stuff, and you can basically skimp on the military.

Every time Perry the Platypus comes in, the first thing that always happens is that he gets caught in a trap, which is different every time. While he's trapped, Doofenshmirtz tells him his evil plan, but then Perry finds some way out of the trap and thwarts him. In one episode, in fact, he rigs an entire ship with them- only to fall victim to his own traps repeatedly.

Fallout 3 and New Vegas include the ability to craft customized mines and grenades for various utilities. Certain NPC's, like Dr. Pinkerton in Fallout 3, have their domains littered with traps, including rigged shotguns and grenade bouquet tripwires. Point Lookout has Kenny, a runaway kid residing in Herzog Mine who is surprisingly skillful at trap-setting for his age. In the New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts, most of the late Randall Clark's stashes are well-guarded by various booby traps. The Dead Horses have also set numerous traps along the path to their camp to keep the White Legs at bay. In the Dead Money add-on, Dean Domino became an Action Survivor being trapped in the Villa for 200 years with zombie-like monsters roaming about. He's littered the area with mines, bear traps, and shotguns and grenade bouquets tied to tripwires and pressure plates.

Trap Master / int_86814cc3	comment	The Emperor is the Trope Namer. He does very little fighting for himself, with only Bombardment and chase attacks actually having him directly hitting the opponent with his staff or a spell. Instead, he sets crests of energy that can paralyze opponents or shoot ricocheting magic projectiles at them when they get close, sends out explosive magical mines that detonate if the opponent touches them, and his Flare spell is a Painfully Slow Projectile that is very large and lasts a long time, providing a continuous hazard for the opponent to be wary of. Using the Emperor well requires mind games and zone control to pin the opponent down and brutalize the once they have nowhere to run — or you can use his traps to keep the opponent distracted while he charges his Signature Move, Starfall.

This, combined with being underestimated by everyone (even her own district partner) after pretending to be weak, lets her win her Games.

Trap Master / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' mechanic Usopp fights via deception. A large part of this is to lure his enemies into becoming vulnerable for one of his attacks. Once he's caught someone in a trap, chances are that person will get caught in a number of subsequent traps until they lose consciousness. Even the protagonist of this series is not immune to such a spectacle. One-time character Foxy the Silver Fox's power is the ability to slow down time in specific regions, which wear off exactly 30 seconds later. He mainly uses this power to cause projectile weapons, such as arrows and bombs, to float in midair and suddenly and unpredictably hurl themselves at his foes. Definitely Largo, captain of the Amigo Pirates. His Devil Fruit allows him to create a basic "sticky net" from his hands, and he can make other varieties out of any material he's eaten. Heck, he can turn his own body into one.

Usually, however, his traps never work as intended, mostly because Scooby and Shaggy keep triggering them by mistake. In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Fred's affinity for traps is exaggerated into a borderline fetishistic obsession. However, in this series, he actually is this trope and most of his traps actually do work fantastically, so the obsession may have its good points. One episode of Mystery Incorporated showcases the gang going up against a villainous trap master, with Fred treating him as a friendly nemesis. The series actually provides a sad Freudian Excuse for his trap obsession. Fred never knew his mom, having been told that she left when he was a baby. Fred is drawn to traps out of a subconscious desire to keep people from going away.

And unlike Teemo's, the damage from these mines can stack. Their only non-mine-based skill involves blowing themselves up half their chunk of health and blast into an area to damage and silence enemies (which replaced a skill where they straight-up explode and die). To add to this, their upgraded ultimate lets them create a danger sign that prevents nearby mines from being de-stealthed, if there are any nearby. While their extremely mine-centric skillset makes it extremely annoying for enemies to counter, their atrocious base stats and the delayed effects of their mines makes them very weak at direct combat.

Aside from the fact that the Fuchsia Gym is full of traps (that change every day), during her battle with Ash she sets up a Stealth Rock to cripple most of the Pokémon he was liable to use against her (like Butterfree and Charizard), and latter adds Toxic Spikes to the mix.

In fact, the whole series is based on a kid being this and outsmarting grown men.

Trap Master / int_e23cb5ee	comment	The Deception series of video games (including PS2 side entry Trapt) has the player character in each game be anywhere from 'mostly harmless' and 'completely helpless' in direct combat, but they possess the ability to create powerful magical traps. Gameplay mostly consists of setting up a lethal series of traps, and then standing around looking vulnerable in the right spot to lure enemies into the line of fire.

Trap Master / int_e9c7b01b	comment	Dissidia Final Fantasy: The Emperor is the Trope Namer. He does very little fighting for himself, with only Bombardment and chase attacks actually having him directly hitting the opponent with his staff or a spell. Instead, he sets crests of energy that can paralyze opponents or shoot ricocheting magic projectiles at them when they get close, sends out explosive magical mines that detonate if the opponent touches them, and his Flare spell is a Painfully Slow Projectile that is very large and lasts a long time, providing a continuous hazard for the opponent to be wary of. Using the Emperor well requires mind games and zone control to pin the opponent down and brutalize the once they have nowhere to run — or you can use his traps to keep the opponent distracted while he charges his Signature Move, Starfall. Kefka can be played like this as well. Waggle-Wobble Firaga pressures the opponent with its constant tracking and threat of paralyzing the opponent, and Trine quickly surrounds and converges on opponents if they don't dodge quickly, and they're liable to dash right into Trine by accident if they're not careful. Ultimecia is another example. Her HP attacks all have considerable wind-up time which makes them easy for the enemy to dodge if used carelessly, so often you'll have to come up with clever ways to maneuver your opponents into them. Most of this involves the charged-up version of Knight's Arrow, which emits up to four projectiles that stay stationary for five seconds before launching at the enemy; pinning the enemy down with Knight's Arrow to properly land a follow-up attack is her bread-and-butter strategy.

Trap Master / int_f367511c	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh!: As much as the name suggests, the Trap Master is not this trope. (It is, in fact, an inversion: It destroys traps rather than building them). The Traptrix archetype is built around this, as they let you add Trap Holesnote A series of trap cards that destroy monsters when they are played to your hand to your deck, as well as playing them directly from your hand or reusing the ones in your graveyard. The monsters themselves are not extraordinarily strong, so you need to use their synergy with traps to win. The Labrynth archetype is built around setting and resolving Normal Traps, with their monster lineup supporting this by either finding more Traps to set or even letting you activate them in the same turn, and their best effects triggering if your Normal Traps cause monsters to leave the field. The archetype's theming is about their leading lady, Lovely Labrynth, managing a mansion full of traps to challenge visitors (especially her archnemesis Ms. Knight.)
