* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Being a VillainousGlutton isn't good for one's long term health. Bumble's gluttony ultimately resulted in serious health problems and caused her early death.
** Bumble never meaningfully changed as a person when she ceased hostilities with the heroes. As such, she never repented or felt remorse for her crimes, and was still sent to a Hell-Realm after her death.

[[folder:General]]

* {{Expy}}: Of Gnasty Gnorc from the classic Spyro series

* OvershadowedByAwesome: While not as dumb as many dragons made him out to be (he was smart enough to learn some useful magic spells on his own, have minions well-equipped for fighting dragons just in case any dragons managed to escape his crystal statue spell and plan out some surprisingly clever raids), he still tended to get overlooked in comparison to the other villains in Pyro's rogues' gallery (especially Snipto)

* {{Expy}}: Of the Sorceress from the third Spyro game

* {{Expy}}: Of Ripto from the classic Spyro series

* EnemyMine: Seeing the threat the Flo'rezz poise, when the 'Flo'rezz Infestation' threatened to overrun Equus they set aside their conflict with the Paradise Ponies and Craanaasti to fight them, only breaking their alliance and resuming their conflict after the Flo'rezz are permenantly dealt with.

* CivilizationDestroyer: He considers being this a ''game'' and has apparently destroyed multiple ones in the past. He ''may'' have been at least partially involved in the end of the First Age.
* GreaterScopeVillain: He's the Hydianites' god and chose to do so as a "game".
* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: Realizing the Paradise Ponies had no means of destroying him at the time, Wind Whistler used the Rainbow of Light to seal him inside herself, banking on her control of her emotions and willpower being able to keep him there. She managed to do so for ''three Ages'' and he only escaped due to outside interference.
* WorfHadTheFlu: While it's likely the multiple harmonic artifacts pointed at him would've been enough, spending three Ages trapped inside Wind Whistler in her divine realm with none of his domains to draw power from weakened him heavily, making the fight with him significantly easier.

[[folder:Awful Orc]]
Leader of a band of plundering Orcs and the first villain faced by the original Pyro and Sparks.

* TheBrute: Larger than most other orcs and even stronger than he looked (and he LOOKED pretty strong to begin with).
* DumbMuscle: Downplayed. While not as smart as the other villains in Pyro I's rogues' gallery, he could be surprisingly clever about certain things in addition to his obvious strength.
* {{Expy}}: Of Gnasty Gnorc from the classic Spyro series
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Downplayed. While he got visibly upset about being called "simple" and having his threat downplayed, it was being called "ugly" that made him the maddest.
* LargeAndInCharge: Awful Orc was physically larger than most of his minions.
* MookMaker: Had learned a spell that can transform gems into minions.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: While not as dumb as many dragons made him out to be (he was smart enough to learn some useful magic spells on his own, have minions well-equipped for fighting dragons just in case any dragons managed to escape his crystal statue spell and plan out some surprisingly clever raids), he still tended to get overlooked in comparison to the other villains in Pyro's rogues' gallery (especially Snipto)
* SecondaryColorNemesis: Awful Orc had green skin and orange armor.
* StarterVillain: The first major villain battled by Pyro I and Sparks I.
* TakenForGranite: Well, taken for crystal anyway, but he DID have a spell that could turn dragons into crystal statues.

[[folder:Floral Mantises]]

!! General

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Like the Flo'rezz, they possess one, albeit a more understandable moral framework thanks to being much more comprehensible than the Flo'rezz Infestations' strange plant hive-minds.
* DeathWorld: It's implied that they came from the same biome as the Flo'rezz, which may explain how they came to their [[BlueAndOrangeMorality mentality]] and [[TheSocialDarwinist worldview]].
* GuiltFreeExterminationWar: Like the Flo'rezz, the Paradise Empire and its allies had to wage war against them after the destruction of the Flo'rezz Infestation as they intended to do the same to them. The Floral Mantids fought to the bitter end alongside their Queen Paeonia, neither giving quarter nor accepting any, resulting in this trope.
* HadToBeSharp: It is implied Paeonia and her Floral Mantises were from the same biome as the Flo'rezz, which in the Codexverse are a BotanicalAbomination plant species which nearly infest and overran a tenth of Equus' landmasses. It is believed based on their LifeDrinker characteristics that they were originally meant to serve an ecological balance against the Flo'rezz, keeping them contained, which is supported by the fact that the Floral Mantises dropped their hostility with the Paradise Empire and everyone else to fight against the Flo'rezz when they expanded too far and threatened the existence of all life on Equus. Given the horrors they had to deal with at home, it comes to no surprise that they developed their [[TheSocialDarwinist merciless and darwinistic mentalities]].
* LifeDrinker: Like their queen, the Floral Mantises are a race of 'Energy Vampires' which drains all nutrients and mana from the lands they settle down in. This and hints that they came from the same biomes as the Flo'rezz suggests they serve as a form of ecological check containing their growth and spread.
* NotQuiteDead: While the Floral Mantises were exterminated down to the Queen, it is believed that one clutch of eggs were saved and preserved by Megann, the Rainbow Empress in her mercy. If that's the case, their whereabouts are currently unknown.
* TheSocialDarwinist: Their entire race's culture is implied to have similar views with their Queen Paeonia, due to [[DeathWorld where they came from]] and [[EverythingTryingToKillYou what they often have to deal with]]. This combined with their [[LifeDrinker natural]] [[WalkingWasteland characteristics]] unfortunately made coexistence near-impossible and led to a GuiltFreeExterminationWar that ended with their destruction.
* WalkingWasteland: As a result of their status as '[[LifeDrinker Energy Vampires]]', any land the Floral Mantises conquer and dominate would be gradually reduced to desolate, lifeless wastelands with all which could sustain life drained by their very presence to sustain their population.
* VillainousLegacy: The Floral Mantids are descended from one of the many predatory/vampiric races provolved/uplifted by Traasena, the Queen Predator -- a member of the Adversai and a Titan/Antecendent Equine deity of Predation, Vampirism, Assimilation, Evolution and Supremacy -- and [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/891883225/4949689588 by her own admission]] [[SoProudOfYou one of her greatest recent success]], impressed by their devotion to their creed and their DefiantToTheEnd LastStand against the Paradise Empire and their allies, regretting that she wasn't there to test them by [[BlueAndOrangeMorality predating upon them herself and get them to prove themselves as worthy]] to her in person.

!! Queen Paeonia, the Defiler of Paradise
!!!'''Character:''' Villainous
!!!'''Alignment:''' Neutral Evil
!!!'''Type:''' Invasive Species, Social Darwinist, Predatory Insect, Mimic, Walking Wasteland, Energy Vampire
!!!'''Faction:''' The Floral Mantises

Queen Paeonia (Her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Paradise-Heroes-and-Villains-1-848992535 here]]) is the leader of the Floral Mantids, a ruthless, manipulative and dangerous villainess who believes firmly in the strength of her people and their right as the strong to trample upon the weak to do as they will, but also expects others to do the same unto them if given the chance. An adherent to the 'Survival of the Fittest' and MightMakesRight to the bitter end, Paeonia and her people are proof that appearances could be deceiving, in more ways than one.
----
* DefiantToTheEnd: She, like her people, fought to the bitter end against the Paradise Ponies and their allies, giving no quarter and accepting none in return as per their beliefs.
* EnemyMine: Seeing the threat the Flo'rezz poise, when the 'Flo'rezz Infestation' threatened to overrun Equus they set aside their conflict with the Paradise Ponies and Craanaasti to fight them, only breaking their alliance and resuming their conflict after the Flo'rezz are permenantly dealt with.
* InsectQueen: The Floral Mantises are a race of enormous sapient mantises with mean streaks a mile wide, and Paeonia is their queen.
* LifeDrinker: Like the other Floral Mantises, Paeonia is this.
* ManipulativeBastard: Paeonia is a ConsummateLiar who along with her Floral Mantises managed to trick the Paradise Ponies into believing they were harmless refugees fleeing from persecution and got them to capture and imprison the Craanaasti (the Crab Nasties) hunting them instead, not revealing their true nature as a race of dangerous insectoid 'energy vampires' until it was almost too late.
* MightMakesRight: Firmly believes that only the strong survive and thrive in this world and have every right to trample upon those who are weaker. To her credit, she is no hypocrite, believing this apply to even herself and her people and does not begrudge it if others prove themselves stronger than they are and do the same unto them.
* TheSocialDarwinist: Queen Paeonia believes the world is one where the strong are those who survive and thrive and [[MightMakesRight those who proved themselves strong have the right to trample over the weak and take what they want]]. Naturally, Paeonia believes her people the Floral Mantises are the strongest on Equus, having no empathy for other races and seeing them at best to be exploited and at worst exterminated as rivals and prey. That being said, she is no hypocrite, applying this trope to herself and others, respecting those whose strength is proven to rival or even surpass her and her race, and went out no regrets or ill will against those who overcome and destroyed them, fighting with all the strength she had to the very end.
* VillainousValour: Paeonia is a manipulative and dangerous social darwinist of the highest order to cares nothing for other lifeforms except for her Floral Mantises, but she had been shown to be no hypocrite regarding her beliefs. In a rare show of respect for the strength of Megann and the Paradise Ponies, Paeonia gave them time to recover from the GuiltFreeExterminationWar with the Flo'rezz before trying to conquer and consume them again. It costs her and the Floral Mantises their existences, but she went out with no regrets, and she holds no ill will against Megann and the Paradise Ponies for destroying their people and killing her at the end of their final conflict, believing it to be natural (as they intend to do unto them as well), and seeing them as worthy victors who had proven their strength in having overcome her and her people. She also went out fighting like the rest of her people, giving no quarter and accepting none.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Subverted; she definitely oppressed an entire empire and tried to kill more than 150 hatchlings to achieve immortality, but she DID NOT recruit Treasure Chest (the Moneybags Expy)

* KnightOfCerberus: While not without her darkly comedic quirks, she was the most dangerous and most serious villain Pyro I ever fought

* VillainousLegacy: The Floral Mantids are descended from one of the many predatory/vampiric races provolved/uplifted by Traasena, the Queen Predator - a member of the Adversai and a Titan/Antecendent Equine deity of Predation, Vampirism, Assimilation, Evolution and Supremacy - and [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/891883225/4949689588 by her own admission]] [[SoProudOfYou one of her greatest recent success]], impressed by their devotion to their creed and their DefiantToTheEnd LastStand against the Paradise Empire and their allies, regretting that she wasn't there to test them by [[BlueAndOrangeMorality predating upon them herself and get them to prove themselves as worthy]] to her in person.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: One of the reasons why the conflict against them became a [[GuiltFreeExterminationWar war of extermination]] with [[FinalSolution no quarter given]] is because while they are known to be intelligent, even sapient, all attempts to communicate with them and discern some sort of understandable motive for their actions had failed due to the sheer alienness of the the Flo'rezz's [[BizarreAlienBiology plant-based]] [[HiveMind hive-minds]]. The ONE time anyone understood them was when [[TheEmpress Megann, the Rainbow Empress]] was about to personally destroy the [[LastOfHisKind last living bud of the species]] and only by Megann's sister Mollia Wilms, the Worldspeaker and Archdruidess of the Paradise Empire.

* HistoricalVillainDowngrade: Almost all portrayals of the Flo'rezz in later Ages downplay their menace as the [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/848992535/4901110678 accounts]] that survive were either dismissed as too unreal or considered too horrific to be fully portrayed. This is where the readers both in-universe and out- get the 'Flores' depiction we see in MLP G1 media: ''merely'' fugitive sapient flowers more dangerous and villainous than they look on the run from 'Crabnasties' police.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: She WAS trying to increase her realm's waning magic - but ONLY enough to gain the energy needed to do a lifeforce drain spell and grant herself immortality and greatly increased power.

!!!'''Rank:''' Divine (Tier IV/Greater)

-> ''"Darkness draws near. The Shadow King Cometh..."''
\\
Grogar is the Fallen Ibrexian god of dark magic, and the pioneer of dark magic as it exists in modern Equus.

* AchillesHeel: He's extremely powerful and dangerous, but he has one weakness: his Bewitching Bell is tied to a bell in Tambalon he can neither destroy or move. If it's run, his bell is destroyed and the arcane backlash renders him temporally powerless and vulnerable. After his first defeat by the Six Dreamers, this also results in him being banished back to the Realm of Darkness if it happens.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's a Fallen Ibrexian god who embodies Dark Magic, Shadows, Tyranny, and Evil.
* ArchEnemy: He made a lot of archenemies
** Before and during the First Age, he was one of the biggest enemies of the Dream Kingdom and Paradise Estate (later Empire), making him a foe of both Majesty, the Queen of Ponykind and later Megann Wilms/Megan Williams, the Rainbow Empress. He also became one for Gaea, one of the Earthen Triplets and the mother goddess of the Nature Giants as well as the modern Deer Pantheon and civilizations after one of his campaigns of conquests despoiled a lot of Equus' forests and killed/corrupted a lot of their kinds, both mortal and divine, causing them to join forces against Tambelon in a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
** During the Second Age, his and Tambelon's return made him one of the biggest Archenemies of Metamare and the Paragons until Metamare was able to ring the bell and send Tambelon back into the Shadow Realm. He made it [[ItsPersonal particularly personal]] to Metamare by killing one of her close friends.
** High King Irminsul and High Queen Arvan both hold undying grudges against him for destroying swathes of their forests, as well as doing extremely horrible things to their mortal subjects and divine children, and then [[KarmaHoudini escaping his well-due punishment]] by the time they finally cornered him. It's deconstructed as both Irminsul and Arvan were so traumatized by the wars that they became extremely puristic and intolerant to anything they deemed 'evil' and 'impure' - so much that it led to them becoming incredibly AbusiveParents to their children, some who were mistreated for not fitting their standards of what a divine Deer sovereign should be. Many of said children abandoned the Elternteil Deer Pantheon in droves to escape the abuse, with a few of them [[NotSoDifferentRemark bitterly noting that Irminsul and Arvan became no different from Grogar]] in trying to avoid a repeat of what happened.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Grogar [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/865347817/4903623452 confessed]] to Metamare during his return and their confrontations in the Second Age he was astounded to realize killing a certain Pony (who was Metamare's friend) had [[ItsPersonal caused Metamare so much grief]], out of the untold thousands of Ponies and other creatures he had already killed. [[EvilIsPetty Partly just to spite]] [[ArchEnemy her]], he promised [[ForTheEvulz he would kill more]].
* ControlFreak: Tambelon under his rule is an extreme dictatorship where the people have no free will, and minor infractions are severely punished. For example, whenever his minions did not cheer as decreed by him, they were thrown into the Realm of Darkness, where they would wander for eternity.
* DarkseidDuplicate: Codexverse Grogar draws considerable inspiration from [[ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} Darkseid]]. He even served as an ArchEnemy to Metamare and the Paragons during his return in the Second Age in the same way Darkseid did for Superman and the rest of the Justice League, and was widely considered one of the greatest threats before Metamare rang his Bell and he and Tambelon was banished back into the Realm of Shadows. Fittingly, one of his lines is based on Darkseid's lines to Superman in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries''.
--> '''Grogar:''' ''([[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/865347817/4903623452 to Metamare]])'' If I had known [[ItsPersonal one pony's death would pain you so]], I would've killed more. And kill more I shall. [[ToThePain Carry that agony with you to oblivion]], [[ArchEnemy Metamare]].
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Was once a mortal ram. How and when he managed to Ascend is speculated in-universe, it's widely agreed that he gained immortality by the time he usurped the throne from Tambelon's original rulers, and has possibly become a demonic force in the shape of the ram he used to be.
* DePower: Gusty the Great defeated him by draining him of his power [[HoistByHisOwnPetard using his own bell]] before banishing him to the Realm of Darkness. This left him crippled and incapable of escaping on his own. Notably, due to the Elements having been used to defeat the Legion of Domination as they were, this ultimately permanently damaged him, as even when he's freed by Mistletoe Dreamer, the lion's share of his power is gone and his bell was cracked, preventing him from using it. He's still extremely dangerous, however.
* TheDreaded: Much like G1, he's extremely feared due both his sheer power, competence as a villain, and unbridled cruelty.
* FreudianExcuse: He's extremely controlling because the incompetence of Tambelon's former rulers convinced him that all mortals are incompetent and weak-minded without the guidance of a strong leader.
* GreaterScopeVillain: He's the original Grogar who the Bell used by the Legion of Domination belonged to.
* XanatosGambit: During a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/870667629/4948938244 battle]] between him and Golden Scepter, the Radiant Emperor as well as their respective empires in the Fourth Age, Grogar unleashed a kaiju-sized necro-alchebiomantic monstrosity divinely-empowered by him which was specifically tailored against Golden Scepter's power and domains, putting him in a SadisticChoice between trying to fight the monster and potentially being defeated (if not killed due to his Perpetuality) and letting Grogar complete his then-latest plan, or focus on stopping Grogar and let the monster run rampant among his outmatched sons and his people and lands. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for Grogar, Golden Scepter would TakeAThirdOption with something Grogar himself could not had anticipated: Namely, his own kaiju-sized Divine Animal companion Invictus, the legendary two-headed Terran Thunderbird, which proceeded to brawl with and ultimately kill Grogar's monstrosity while Golden Scepter focused on Grogar and other heroes fought against and ultimately foiled Grogar's plan]].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Once, he cut down extremely large portions of Equus's forests to provide resources in taking over the planet. This ''enraged'' the nature goddess, Gaea, so much that her rampage forced him to flee to the Shadow Realm.
* SealedEvilInACan: He and Tambelon were repeatedly banished to the Realm of Darkness each time he was defeated. Gusty the Great finally stole his bell and used it to steal his power before banishing him the last time, leaving him unable to escape...by [[WhamLine himself, at least.]] It's eventually revealed this seal working as it does was because the Rainbow of Light made the spell he was using to intercept Unicorns using 'winking' teleportation to capture them go berserk, dragging him and Tambalon into the Realm of Darkness and forcing him into the current situation.
* SevenDeadlySins: Weaponized; his entry describes his magic as being based on negative emotions, with focus being on the seven sins. For example, Wrath increases his physical strength tenfold (along with his anger), while Sloth creates instant prisons that contain and restrain his enemies.
* VillainRespect: He developed a grudging respect for Ponykind as a whole, though not for any of their positive qualities. In a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/873294164/4911635603 private conversation]] between Grogar [[spoiler:and Iniquitous following the former's return in the Fourth Age]], this began from the Second Age, during the Great Wars Era when Tellusian Ponykind fought against each other and countless other threats within, without and beyond. While Grogar was contemptous of the 'weakling' heroic paragons like Metamare in that time whom he had fought, he found himself impressed by Ponykind's [[TheGlovesComeOff unfettered determination]] [[CorneredRattlesnake when pushed into a corner]], their [[GodzillaThreshold willingness to do things]] even ''he'' would not had been willing to contemplate just to beat the likes of him. This led him to believe that it may not be possible for Ponykind to lose, ever, so long as they are willing to go ''[[TheUnfettered any lengths]]'' to survive and prevail, considering their sheer indomitable ruthlessness to be their most admirable quality. [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame This sentiment is not shared by many]] - although Tellusian Ponykind ''did'' survive and prevail...
--> '''Grogar I''': [To [[spoiler:Iniquitous]]] You know, [[spoiler:Vicearch]], I have a dim view of this world and most other beings, but on some level, I do respect your kind. It began aeons back, during the time they called the 'Second Age', when I saw just how far Ponykind was willing to go to survive and win. Metamare and the other 'heroes' of the time were foolish weaklings, lacking the strength of character to do what must be done. But you Ponies? When backed into a corner, you would destroy your own cities and kill your own people; you unleash horrors even '''''I''''' would think twice to do. When it matters the most, it may be Ponykind cannot lose - because you kind would do '''''anything''''' for victory, even if the only victory possible is to prevent me or any other enemies you have from winning.

--> An admirable quality.
