This post is meant to showcase the Easter Eggs/references lurking behind Clicker Heroes. It's meant to be as comprehensive as possible or at least to what my knowledge of it is limited to.
If I have missed anything, please feel free to let me know and I'll add it to the list! (This post is still a WIP)
HEROES
-
Betty Clicker - A reference to 'Betty Crocker', a General Mills brand/trademark.
-
Bobby, Bounty Hunter - Reference to 'Boba Fett, The Bounty Hunter', a fictional character in the Star Wars universe.
-
Referi Jerator, Ice Wizard - Play on the word 'Refrigerator'.
-
Broyle Lindeoven, Fire Mage - Play on the words 'Broil in the Oven'.
-
Orntchya Gladeye, Didensy Banana - Is a play on words as well as a punchline to an old and corny "Knock-knock" joke "Orangeyou glad I didn't say Banana?"
-
Phthalo - Correct pronounciation is 'Thay-lo' but most call her 'Potato'.
-
All new Heroes starting at Dread Knight and below are a poke at the Power Rangers. When v0.17 was released, the names of the Heroes were based on the color of their armor. (Eg: Dread Knight=Black Ranger, Atlas=Blue Ranger, Terra=Forest Ranger, Phthalo=Green Ranger)
CENTURION/BOSSES
-
Centurion Boss Omeet - Zone 100. A reference to a League of Legends champion/character by the name of Teemo. Omeet's name spelled backwards is 'Teemo'. Teemo is religiously hated throughout the LoL community and has an alternative nickname called 'Satan'.
-
Centurion Boss Woodchip, the Rodent - Zone 300. A reference to Master Splinter from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The description also states he use to be a Kung Fu master but let himself go probably due to one too many pizzas.
-
Centurion Boss Rashon, the Duke - Zone 600. A reference to 'Roshan the Immortal', a neutral creep/boss in Dota2. Upon death, Roshan drops the item 'Aegis of the Immortal' to the team of players who successfully defeats him. The description for Rashon, the Duke similarly refers this to the "5 adventurers who stole his Aegis".
-
Centurion Boss Tako - Zone 800 & 900. Is a reference to 'Ultros' or alternatively known as 'Orthros', a reccurring enemy character in the Final Fantasy series. Ultros is portrayed as a carnivorous purple octopus. The word Tako(タコ) in Japanese also means Octopus. He's also a pervert.
-
Centurion Boss Lagomorph of Caerbannog - Zone 1000. A reference to the 'Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog' from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The term 'Lagomorph' loosely translates to Rabbit (it's actually a certain species of rabbits/hares and are members of the taxonomic family Lagomorpha).
ANCIENTS
-
Argaiv, Ancient of Enhancement - Read backward becomes 'Viagra'. Get it? (chuckles) Ancient of Enhancement.
-
Bubos, Ancient of Diseases - A reference to the Bubonic Plague.
-
Dogcog, Ancient of Thrift - Named after one of the developers by the name of 'Doogog'. Ancient of Thrift can possibly mean he's a cheap person IRL. #Kappa
-
Dora, Ancient of Discovery - A reference to a popular kid's television show by the name of 'Dora the Explorer'.
-
Fragsworth, Ancient of Wrath - Named after one of the developers by the same name of 'Fragsworths'. Ancient of Wrath can possibly mean he has anger management issues IRL? #Kappa
-
Kumawakamaru, Ancient of Shadows - Possibly a reference to 'Hino Kumawaka', a man who avenged the death of his father by killing a monk using stealth in 14th century Japan.
-
Siyalatas, Ancient of Abandon - A play on the words "See you laters".
-
Vaagur, Ancient of Impatience - Reference to an impatient Reddit member by the same name who often spammed on Clicker Heroes subreddit asking for the release date of v0.12.
MISC. GAME RELATED
Catra - A reoccurring monster in the game, quite possibly a reference to the catwoman character 'Felicia' from the game Darkstalkers.
Kappa Boss - One of the rarest encounters in the game. A Kappa Boss is a Turtloid Warlock with the famous Twitch emoticon/meme 'Kappa' face in front of it. It only appears on Boss zone levels and sometimes can spawn as a 'Primal Kappa' which gives Hero Souls as well. Encountering a Primal Kappa does not give any more or less Hero Souls as compared to a normal Primal Boss.
Hidden Click Damage Messages - Holding down the SHIFT, CTRL, Q, or Z key while clicking on monsters will make the messages NOPE, LOL, CRITICAL MISS, ZERO DAMAGE, NICE TRY, MAYBE NEXT TIME, YOU LOSE appear on screen.
