- "Looks like Lord Sinister is coming to end us all!
We're doomed!
Whats this?
The lights are back on.
The town is alive again!...
And the town's citizens are back to reclaim their town!" - ―Narrator dialogue on Wave 18 (Trick or Threat Town)
Description
Lord Sinister was a major boss that appeared exclusively in Trick or Threat Town as the final boss of the Halloween 2020 Event. As with most major bosses, Lord Sinister had an extremely high amount of health, but walked very slowly.
Lord Sinister had three abilities. Its Sinister Taunt ability spawned a random number of enemies from the ground. These could have been the Reanimated, Slime, Hallow Bones and Ghost. Its Hallowed Slam ability involved Lord Sinister slamming its axe into the ground, creating a forward shockwave that stunned towers. Finally, its Infernal Storm ability involved Lord Sinister breathing fire at towers, setting them alight, stunning them. This attack also dealt damage to units, 150 damage per tick.
Appearance
Lord Sinister was a large demonic-like boss. It had a black pumpkin head, with glowing yellow eyes and mouth, and wore a black rusted crown. It wore bronze armor, which included a large chestplate, pauldrons and leggings. On its torso was an engraving of a spooky pumpkin face. Lord Sinister's arms were neon yellow and it wore grey gloves with white knuckles. Lord Sinister's legs were marbled crimson. Around its left leg was a neon yellow chain. Lord Sinister wielded a large axe with its right hand. The axe's design appeared to have a face.
Strategy
- Towers that have a high DPS output are recommended, such as the Ranger, Minigunner and Turret.
- Because Trick or Threat Town has lots of suitable cliff space, the Ranger is ideal.
- The Commander's Call to Arms ability can be used to boost the firerate of towers. If you have multiple Commanders, you can chain their abilities to ensure firerate is always at its lowest.
- Due to Lord Sinister's freeze immunity, the Frost Blaster and Freezer cannot slow down Lord Sinister.
- The Electroshocker can only slow down Lord Sinister instead of stunning it. Additionally, it can only slow it down for a very short period of time due to its large size.
- Make sure that you have sufficient towers after the path crosses the bridge, otherwise enemies that Lord Sinister spawns may get out of range.
- Lord Sinister's stuns can stun towers for a long period of time. You can use the Medic's ability to cleanse your towers of Lord Sinister's stun.
- While units, like the Railgun Tank and Citizen 1, can be effective against Lord Sinister's summoned enemies, Lord Sinister's Infernal Storm can pretty much destroy most units.

Trivia
- Lord Sinister is based on Lord Sinister from a boss fight game made by BelowNatural, which is no longer playable. Footage of it can be found here.
- Lord Sinister that appears in Tower Defense Simulator can be considered a remake of that Lord Sinister.
- Lord Sinister is the first enemy to have voice acting.
- Lord Sinister's voice actor is Razuatix, a retired Tower Defense Simulator developer.
- When using the Hallowed Slam ability, one of the following lines would play:
- "You should have stayed home!"

- "Heh."
- When using the Sinister Taunt ability, Lord Sinister would laugh.
