Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/TheStarloreLegacy'': The overarching antagonist of the series is C'Fir Apollus Dracus, or simply Lord Dracus, the allegory version of {{Satan}}. Although he's also something of a GreaterScopeVillain, he does influence several of the more immediate villains directly. In addition, just about every book (except the first one) has a Big Bad specific to the current plotline:
** ''FLIGHT'': [[spoiler:[[BigBadDuumvirate Linden Lockridge and the Galactic Alliance chancellor]]]].
** ''LORE'': The prefect of Reekojah.
** ''OATH'': Two separate Big Bads in two separate timelines--the Kaynian general and Prefect Zar.
** ''MERCHANT'' and ''RECLAMATION'': [[BigBadDuumvirate Prefect Terrok and Fasa Kylos]].

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/OrigamiYoda'' really doesn't have any true villains, but in each book one character usually plays an antagonistic role.
** ''The Strange Case of Origami Yoda'': [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Harvey]], who goes from [[AgentScully trying to prove Origami Yoda is a hoax]] to actively antagonizing Tommy and Dwight with his own EvilKnockoff of Yoda.
** ''Darth Paper Strikes Back'': Darth Paper, if Harvey wasn't {{troll}}ing when he said Darth Paper is the one who came up with their EvilPlan against Dwight.
** ''The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee'' technically has NoAntagonist, although the very end sets up [[BrandX Edu-Fun Products]] as the BigBad for the next couple books.
** ''The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett'' at first seems to have [[EvilPrincipal Principal Rabbski]], who is the one responsible for canceling the elective classes and replacing them with the [[StylisticSuck terrible and obnoxious]] [=FunTime=] program, although it becomes apparent towards the end that she's not "[[EvilOverlord The Empress]]" so much as someone being pushed upon by forces above her. Although the students more treat Professor [=FunTime=] and Gizmo, the [[ShowWithinAShow fictional]] characters of the [=FunTime=] videos, as the antagonists they're fighting.
** ''Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue'' has [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Dr. Karl Blonsky]], head of Edu-Fun.
** ''Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus'' has Harvey, who created Emperor Pickletine to annoy everyone on the bus, or maybe [[MindScrew Emperor Pickletine himself]] if he truly represents "the sour side" of the force.

** ''Conan the Valorous'': A BigBadEnsemble between the Stygian sorceress Hathor-Ka and the Vendhyan sorcerer Jaganath, who both seek to use the Great Summoning the Powers to become the most powerful sorcerer in the world. Meanwhile, series antagonist Thoth-Amon is the GreaterScopeVillain who obstensibly offers to aid Hathor-Ka in exchange for becoming equal through the Great Summoning, [[spoiler:but in reality sabatoges her by giving her false intstuctions to perform the Great Summoning, as Thoth-Amon knows better than to tamper with the powers that Hathor-Ka and Jaganath are, and instead seeks to use their feud to rid himself of rival sorcerers.]]
