Changes: Ludo Avarius

Revision as of 18:13, 25 June 2016

Ludo is the main antagonist of Star vs. the Forces of Evil. Using his army of monsters, he wants to steal Star's wand and take over the universe.

Appearance

Ludo is a short, grayish-green bird-like monster. His head is round, having some bumps and warts on it. He has yellow eyes, and a dark gray beak with sharp white fangs. He wears a mossy green cloak, and he wears an unidentified creature's skull on his head like a crown. Under his skull crown is a light blue patch with a dark green fringe circling it that resembles a kappa's water dish. He wears flip-flops under his cloak.

Personality

Ludo is evil, and bent on stealing Star's wand so that he can take over the universe with it. He is very power-hungry, and he leads an entire army of other evil monsters that are out to help him steal the wand. Self-centered, he puts his needs above those of his minions' and doesn't show compassion if they or anyone around him gets hurt. Despite his evil personality, he is shown to be quite cowardly, childish, and weak, having his minions fight for him (never engaging in combat personally), and often giving up on a fight and retreating after Star and Marco defeat his minions.

Relationships

Star Butterfly

Ludo despises Star, desiring to get her wand, and constantly annoyed that she always defeats him and his army. He doesn't like it whenever she undermines his power or calls him out for making stupid plans. When he tries to team up with her to deal with Toffee, it is only for his own benefit, and he tries to take her wand whenever he sees an opening. After the wand (along with Ludo's Castle) is destroyed, he vows revenge on Star before she throws him into another dimension.

As Star immediately recognizes Ludo and addresses him by name in "Star Comes to Earth", that means they have either fought once before or Star was familiar enough with his misdeeds to consider him an enemy.

Marco Diaz

When Marco helps Star fight his minions off in "Star Comes to Earth", Ludo is displeased that Star isn't unguarded like he had originally been told. Although feeling more hatred towards Star, Ludo doesn't like Marco and considers him a threat. However, "Storm the Castle" shows that he never bothered to learn Marco's name, as he displays no recognition when Star mentions him, saying "I don't know who that is."

Ludo's army

Ludo puts great trust in his army of monsters to defeat Star, but he gets easily irritated with them whenever they fail or act cowardly and wimpy. He doesn't show any compassion towards them, like thinking Deer Beard is being a baby about bleeding internally, and makes them do all the work. Ultimately, Ludo's terrible treatment of his army allowed Toffee to convince them to turn on him, and appoint Toffee as their new leader.

Buff Frog

Buff Frog is Ludo's most loyal minion. In return, Ludo holds Buff Frog in slightly higher regard than the other monsters, even showing regret when Toffee convinced him to fire Buff Frog. He later tries to convince Buff Frog to work with him in reclaiming his castle by bringing him a sack full of tadpoles to be a father to, and offering his friendship. However, when Star comes along, Ludo callously abandons Buff Frog, telling him he was only pretending. Despite this, he tries to convince Buff Frog to get Star's wand when she is about to attack Toffee, telling him it is "[their] chance," and acting surprised when Buff Frog ignores him.

Toffee

At first, Ludo is greatly impressed by Toffee, finding his professionalism and clever strategies a welcome change from his usual dim-witted followers. Toffee manages to easily manipulate him because of this, as evidenced when he talks him into firing Buff Frog. Ludo realizes too late that Toffee is just using him, losing the loyalty of his army due to Toffee's machinations, and being thrown out of his own castle by him. From that point on, he hates Toffee, and becomes determined to get his castle and army back from him.

Brittney Wong

Ludo and Brittney have had limited interaction, but they have one thing in common: an extreme hatred for Star Butterfly, as shown in "Brittney's Party". Ludo even called Brittney "so nice" for expressing hope that he would destroy Star.

Trivia

Ludo wishes to have a huge, muscular "big boy body" and be a lifeguard, as well as take over the universe.
He bares resemblance to a kappa, a kind of Japanese turtle monster and sometimes deity.
Ludo develops a fond taste for oysters in "Brittney's Party".
He somewhat likes Brittney Wong for showing the same hate for Star that he has, as seen in "Brittney's Party".
He is shown to have a fear of hair and tickling in "Marco Grows a Beard." This comes from a traumatic experience with "The Tickle Monster," that he had during a birthday party when he was a boy.
