50 free Overlord (Anime) trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Overlord starts where most game stories end: the servers go quiet, and one player who refused to log out wakes up as his own skeletal avatar, master of a fortress full of monsters who now think for themselves. What follows is a fantasy told from the villain's throne, where the lead is an anxious office worker bluffing his way through godhood. This quiz covers the whole anime: Ainz Ooal Gown and the guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the adventurers, royals and schemers of the New World, the big battles of each season, and the people who make the show, from the voice cast to the studio. It is written for viewers who have followed the series through its television run and the film, with easier questions up front and deeper cuts later. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so it works as a refresher before a rewatch as well as a test.

Q 01In Overlord, the feared Wise King of the Forest that Ainz tames turns out to be which giant animal?
Hamster
A hamster, to Ainz's dismay: a giant Djungarian like the one an old guildmate kept as a pet. Everyone else is awestruck, so he names her Hamsuke and registers her as his beast.
Q 02In Overlord, which overseer of the Floor Guardians did Ainz rewrite, minutes before the servers closed, to love him?
Albedo
Albedo was a succubus whose profile he edited as a joke, never expecting it to matter. Once the characters came to life the change stuck, and her devotion became a running complication.
Q 03What is the name of the virtual reality game whose servers shut down at the start of Overlord?
YGGDRASIL
YGGDRASIL had run for twelve years when its last loyal guild leader stayed logged in to watch it end. Instead of being kicked out, he found himself living inside his avatar.
Q 04Before taking his guild's name as his own, Overlord's skeletal hero played under which avatar name?
Momonga
Momonga renamed himself Ainz Ooal Gown as a signal: any old guildmates stranded in the new world might hear the name and come looking for him.
Q 05Which vampire Floor Guardian must Ainz fight and kill in Overlord's first season after she is mind-controlled?
Shalltear
Shalltear had been seized with a World Item, so no ordinary spell could free her. Ainz killed her in a carefully planned duel, then paid 500 million gold to resurrect her.
Q 06Which Floor Guardian, a demon in a business suit and glasses, poses as the demon emperor Jaldabaoth in Overlord?
Demiurge
Demiurge invented Jaldabaoth so that Nazarick could attack cities without being blamed. His staged battles with Ainz's adventurer persona also turned that persona into a public hero.
Q 07Which dark elf twins guard the Sixth Floor of Nazarick in Overlord, each dressed as the opposite sex?
Aura and Mare
Aura and Mare look like children, and Ainz treats them as his own. She is the outgoing beast tamer dressed as a boy; he is the shy druid dressed as a girl.
Q 08Which hulking undead does Ainz create from a slain soldier to rescue a village in Overlord's opening episodes?
Death Knight
A Death Knight is the monster that cuts down the village's attackers on his order. He later uses the same creatures, each able to rout an army, for chores like setting tables.
Q 09Which elderly butler of Nazarick, a bare-handed fighter with a strong sense of justice, rescues the enslaved Tuare?
Sebas
Sebas saved her against Nazarick's usual contempt for humans, and it nearly cost him: Ainz tested his loyalty by ordering him to kill her. He obeyed, and the blow was stopped.
Q 10Which sadistic rogue warrior in Overlord wears armor studded with the plates of adventurers she has killed?
Clementine
Clementine met her end when Ainz, disguised as a swordsman, let her stab him and then simply crushed her in his arms. Her corpse later disappeared.
Q 11Which Warrior Captain of the Re-Estize Kingdom dies duelling Ainz after asking never to be resurrected?
Gazef Stronoff
Gazef Stronoff knew he had no chance and challenged him anyway. Ainz stopped time to kill him, then called off his rampaging monsters out of respect.
Q 12Which guardian of Nazarick's Treasury did Ainz create himself in Overlord, and now finds deeply embarrassing?
Pandora's Actor
Pandora's Actor can copy the looks and powers of the old guild members, so he doubles for Ainz when two identities are needed at once. Ainz lets him call him father.
Q 13Which four-armed insect warrior of Nazarick's Fifth Floor ends up ruling the lizardmen he was sent to destroy?
Cocytus
Q 21Which all-female adventurer team in Overlord is led by Lakyus, whose faith magic can raise the dead?
Blue Roses
Blue Roses even recruited from its enemies: two sister assassins were first hired to kill the leader, failed, and were invited to join instead.
Q 22Kyouhukou, the polite, crown-wearing guardian of Nazarick's Black Capsule in Overlord, is which kind of giant insect?
Cockroach
A cockroach who walks upright with a cloak and sceptre, he holds the title of Worst Residence among the tomb's five most disgusting residents. One battle maid snacks on his family.
Q 23Ainz's two-person adventurer team ends Overlord's first season promoted directly to which rank?
Adamantite
Cocytus lost his first battle with them, then came to admire their courage and asked Ainz to spare them. He was made their governor on condition that he rule without fear.
Q 14Which squad of battle maids serves as the last line of defense before the final floor of Nazarick in Overlord?
Pleiades
The Pleiades are strong enough to rival the new world's legendary monsters, yet the tomb's own residents treat them more like an idol group than a guard unit.
Q 15Which doppelgänger battle maid, a lightning specialist, poses as the human adventuring partner of Ainz?
Narberal Gamma
Narberal Gamma is so striking that locals dub her the Beautiful Princess, but she despises humans and keeps insulting them, which makes the cover story harder to keep.
Q 16Which Japanese animation studio produced the first four seasons of the Overlord anime and its 2024 feature film?
Madhouse
Madhouse brought back the same staff and cast for the fourth season, even though it arrived four years after the third.
Q 17In which chibi-style crossover comedy do Overlord's characters attend school with the casts of KonoSuba and Re:Zero?
Isekai Quartet
Isekai Quartet began as a four-way crossover, with The Saga of Tanya the Evil as the other guest, and later seasons added The Rising of the Shield Hero and more.
Q 18Which village girl saved by Ainz in Overlord later blows a gifted horn and summons an army of goblins?
Enri
Enri expected a handful of goblins and got about 5,000, enough to rout a crown prince's troops. By then the farm girl had already been voted village chief.
Q 19Which vampire magic caster in Overlord falls for Ainz's adventurer persona after he saves her from Jaldabaoth?
Evileye
Evileye has no idea that her rescuer and the undead king she hates are the same person. Her own past is darker: she was once feared as Landfall, destroyer of a nation.
Q 20Which Golden Princess of the Re-Estize Kingdom secretly sells out her country to Nazarick to become a demon?
Renner
Renner hides an obsession with her bodyguard Climb behind a saintly image. After the kingdom falls she persuades him to become a demon too, so they can be together forever.
Adamantite made them only the third party in the kingdom at that level. They had started as copper-plate nobodies and reached mithril just a few episodes earlier.
Q 24Which author wrote the Overlord light novels, which began as an online serial before being published in print?
Kugane Maruyama

Q 25The Sunlight Scripture and the Black Scripture are special units of which human-supremacist nation in Overlord?
Slane Theocracy

Q 26Which adventurer party joins Ainz on his first job in Overlord before all four of its members are murdered?

Q 27Which crime syndicate secretly controls the Re-Estize Kingdom in Overlord until Nazarick seizes it for itself?

Q 28Which 2024 Overlord film adapts a story arc that the fourth season of the anime skipped?
The Sacred Kingdom
The Sacred Kingdom covers the twelfth and thirteenth novels, set during season four, which is why it plays as a midquel. It reached North American cinemas in November 2024.
Q 29Which city pharmacist in Overlord has an innate talent that lets him use any magic item?
Nfirea
Nfirea is one of the few locals who works out who Ainz really is, and he keeps the secret. He later brews a new purple potion from the tomb's ingredients.
