The Dead Cells character is a fiery, shadowy person holding a ball of blue light in one hand and a staff in the other, with red flames coming from his head like a scarf. Shovel Knight is a blue, armoured cartoon person with a shovel in hand and horns on their helmet. Plague Knight is a cartoony plague doctor with hands aloft like they're casting a fancy spell.
