![]() Giant spiders/salamanders monsters that only want to devour until their hive queen/king is dead: Tyranids. The area around the first Dark Tower is saturated by a magical residue that corrupts and warps anyone who touches it into mindless savage mutated beasts: The Warp. We have a race of decadent/ineffectual scimitar swinging elves who are a dying breed and can be corrupted into sin and darkness: Eldar. The Explosion of the Tower Heart caused Warhammer 40,000 Warp to seep into the world and infect itWe have a human Empire led by a Golden Emperor that's dedicated to the eradication of all other creatures because they're 'tainted' with magic: The Imperium. Where did the O-T-D-K get that idea from? Gnarl. Horned Demons in DK 1 being unruly and difficult?

Bad Guys (and former Overlords) who have done the same thing you have. It makes perfect sense within the mechanics of Dungeon Keeper: Where do all your minions in Dungeon Keeper come from?

Overlord is a prequel to the Dungeon Keeper seriesIn Overlord: Raising Hell, the Overlord is trapped in the Abyss. ![]() Presumably he was only able to survive to possess the Wizard thanks to the tower heart remaining intact, albeit removed from its socket. In fact, given the nature of the Keeper as established in DK, I suppose the ruination of the tower would have been the thing that shattered his power. Or perhaps having a physical form was necessary in his escape from the underworld.
