Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WalkingSpoiler A character or thing who has most of the tropes underneath it as spoilers. Mentioning anything about this character/thing at all worst case scenario, this includes its name or even its existence alone will often reveal spoilers about the work they feature in, which predictably makes talking about it difficult. Some fans reconcile this by using euphemisms, others by avoiding talking about it at all, others just by placing a warning that the following will contain massive spoilers. Can overlap with It Was His Sled, if the work in question is old or culturally engrained enough that pretty much everybody already knows about the various plot twists. Often will overlap with Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer if the marketers don't decide otherwise. Also, this is not about characters that are involved in many plot twists but the mere existence of the character within the narrative is a spoiler itself, that makes it impossible to talk about the character without spoiling the plot. TL,DR: A character who is difficult to talk about because so much about them, sometimes the fact that they're in the story at all, is spoiler material.
