While initially viewed as antagonistic monsters, they are actually peaceful beings seeking co-existence.
The Dark Ones (Russian: Чёрные or "black ones") are a sapient species descended from humans who survived the nuclear apocalypse and adapted to the new world. Unlike Humanimals, which are also derived from humans, Dark Ones are more adapted to the heavy radiation levels in cities such as Moscow.

In the Bible, God uses darkness to represent evil, sin, unbelief, and death, and he uses light to represent goodness, holiness, faith, and life. It's interesting to see that contrast of darkness and light on the two most important days in the history of the world: Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Merlin loves Arthur due to a powerful, destined bond, seeing him as the future great king who will bring peace and justice, while also developing a deep, protective friendship where he admires Arthur's good heart beneath a sometimes-annoying exterior, leading to intense loyalty, sacrifice, and a love that producers confirmed as a central "love story" in the BBC series.
Rumplestiltskin is the Wish Realm version of the original Rumplestiltskin and the final antagonist of Season 7 and the series of ABC's Once Upon a Time as a whole.
