Tempest is an airborne vertical spin attack.This continues into the sequel, as shown in a skit where he thinks memorizing the multiplication table is sufficient education. Lloyd can also be surprisingly clever, such as in the game of Shiritori at the House of Salvation where Lloyd (as the default party member displayed) wins by ending all his words in "L." Two other more relevant examples would be when he tricked Colette into revealing her condition via coffee and when he deduced from Remiel's speech in the Tower of Salvation that the Church of Martel was a front. He doesn't know much in terms of pure information, but he's got a lot of raw intelligence and can generally work out an answer with logic and reason. Book Dumb: Lloyd is not as stupid as he's generally made out to be.Blow You Away: The only element he can learn naturally in the original game is wind, and for all of one arte: Hurricane Thrust.Blade Spam: Sword Rain, and all its derivatives.He's learnt well, as he can craft, do machinery and pick locks. Raine: How do you manage to sleep standing? He's woken up when Raine (his teacher) throws an eraser into his face. Asleep in Class: Lloyd does this once, notable in that he falls asleep, standing up, while also holding a bucket full of water in each hand.He does this with random civilians too, such as Chocolat, Princess Hilda and Kate. Depending on his "soul mate" choice, this can also be reflected in the final kidnapping segment of the game. Always Save the Girl: He always makes it a point to save Colette from trouble.Also, the angel wings he gets in the end are reminiscent of actual bird's wings, unlike those of Colette, Zelos, and the Four Seraphim. Rising Falcon is his only arcane arte that isn't a fusion or derivative of his earlier artes, and his Mystic Arte is titled Falcon's Crest. Animal Motifs: Falcons, and birds in general.Consider that he gets angel wings at the end of the game. His birth father Kratos is an angel, and his Exsphere is a Cruxis Crystal. Ambiguously Human: It's referenced a couple of times, since his father is a dwarf, though Lloyd is quick to point out that he's adopted.Just after defeating Mithos and shattering his Exsphere, Lloyd laments that "you could have lived with us in our world". All-Loving Hero: Not at first, but after Character Development, he tries to save everyone, in both worlds, and even feels sympathy for the villains they're forced to fight.Heck, he even straight-up kisses her on the lips in one scene. It can be argued that his Oblivious to Love status was also downplayed in the OVA he and Colette both act significantly more romantic toward each other.One of the biggest examples of this is that in the game, an early plot point showcasing his idiocy revolves around Lloyd forgetting to make Colette a necklace in time for her birthday, but Lloyd gives her a birthday necklace in the OVA within the first couple minutes of the first episode. Adaptational Personality Change: In the OVA, Lloyd's status as an Idiot Hero is downplayed, to the point it arguably becomes an Informed Attribute, with characters mentioning his apparent stupidity (even himself) in-universe, but actual evidence of it being largely absent.Gets Flanderized in some other games where he becomes an actual pervert. Evolves to a sort-of Running Gag in spin-off games: He gets pulled into these situations in Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology as well as in Dawn of the New World. Accidental Pervert: Lloyd received the title " Peeping Tom" when he caught Zelos (who ran when the girls heard noises) spying on the girls in the hot spring scene.By Dawn of The New World, the king of Tethe'alla is calling him Bud as well. Accidental Misnaming: After Zelos refers to Lloyd as "his bud" (hunny in the Japanese version), Sebastian starts referring to him as Sir Bud. He drops it when the group ends up in Tethe'alla when Raine borrows it when they first meet Zelos, he decides that "it sounds kinda arrogant".
