Realm of the Mad God is a massively multiplayer bullet hell shooter first released in 2011, known for permadeath, where a lost character and its gear cannot be recovered. The wizard is one of its early playable classes, valued for ranged spells and area damage but fragile in close fights. Because death ends a run permanently, its short death cry became familiar to regular players. Clips and soundboards later shared it outside the game, where creators reuse it as a compact reaction for abrupt defeats.
