History Characters / KingdomHeartsDisneyVillains

* AbortedArc: An InUniverse example; apparently Maleficent intended to convene a second iteration of her LegionOfDoom upon her revival in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', but local problems and the rising threat of Organization XIII ensure none of the villains bother to show up. While Jafar and Hook certainly weren't invited back [[note]]both being targeted for turning into Heartless[[/note]], the MCP and Shan Yu were unaligned, and Oogie and Ursula were dead, it's unknown if Barbossa, Hades and Scar were intended to be among the group or Pete was just helping them cause trouble to get some Heartless.
* ArcVillain: Every Disney Villain acts as the main antagonist to their own respective worlds, either completely out to do their [[EvilPlan Evil Plans]] regardless of otherworldly involvement or working for a LegionOfDoom in the greater narrative (Maleficent's group, Organization XIII, the Seekers of Darkness, etc.).

* LegionOfDoom: In the first game. One of the major plot points in ''II'' is Maleficent trying to rebuild her legion with both old and new allies with the help of Pete. By the time of ''III'' she and Pete have abandoned trying to form one of these for the time being.

* VillainousTeleportation: Clayton warps back onto the Stealth Sneak’s back if you take too long finishing either off once you separate them.

* DecompositeCharacter: It is stated that Rinzler and the Tron that Sora knows from ''Kingdom Hearts II'' are not the same person, since the Grid is the original computer system that Space Paranoids was copied from. In a CallBack to previous instances of this happening in ''II'' and ''Coded'', Rinzler's heart is implied to be entangled with that of the Tron from Space Paranoids, allowing Sora to try and influence him through their connection.

* FightingYourFriend: Downplayed. This version of Tron is not the same one Sora is familiar with, who is actually an outdated copy of him. However, that hardly matters to Sora, because Tron is Tron in any world.

* InsaneTrollLogic: He assumes Sora is Romani simply because of his unusual clothes. This makes even less sense considering Sora neither looks nor dresses anything like the Romani.

-> '''Riku:''' Why are you doing all this for me? What's the catch?\\

* FairyDevilmother: In the first game, she feigns maternal affection onto Riku, acting as though she has only his best interest in mind when all he is to her is a pawn to manipulate Sora. She even gifts him the ability to control Heartless, making him more susceptible to possession by Ansem SoD.

* AdaptationExpansion: In a sense. His realm that Riku visits him in expands the hellish setting of Bald Mountain into a large, similarly hellish valley.

* VolcanoLair: Bald Mountain is explicitly a volcano in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, at least when it appears in its' homeworld, Symphony of Sorcery. This is in contrast to its' appearance in ''Fantasia'' as it appears to just be a normal mountain, albeit one that becomes a supernatural hellhole on Walpurgis Night. When Chernabog is defeated in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and disappears, Bald Mountain is left an empty, inactive husk.

* BackFromTheDead: In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', nobody notices how weird her revival is, but fans theorize that it relates to her mastery of the powers of darkness.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: In ''Dream Drop Distance''. She's never mentioned again after her defeat. She doesn't even get a character bio!

* ControlFreak: According to Esmeralda during her talk with Riku, a big reason Frollo hates gypsies is because he can't control them the same way he controls everyone else in Paris.

* DarkIsEvil: Openly uses his darkness, assuming it to be a gift from God, during his purge of the gypsies. Surprisingly, Sora was able to ''walk past him'' without detecting it, a contrast to Lady Tremaine and her daughters in ''Birth by Sleep'' and Hans in ''III'', whose [[MadeOfEvil darkness]] were ''immediately'' detected by Aqua and Sora, respectively.

* HangingJudge: If you're a Gypsy, you're getting burned.

* InsaneTrollLogic: He assumes Sora is a gypsy simply because of his unusual clothes. This makes even less sense considering Sora neither looks nor dresses anything like the Romani.
* KirkSummation: Subverted. In ''Dream Drop Distance'', when Riku asks Esmeralda if Frollo was always an evil bigot and tries to locate him in order to speak with him, it is subtly implied that Riku intends to try to reason with Frollo, having fallen into the darkness once himself. However, when Riku sees Frollo trying to burn down a villager's home because the inhabitant was suspected of harboring gypsies, he concludes the man is so deranged that he will [[ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer ultimately have to stopped by force.]]

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He absolutely loathes gypsies and intends to slaughter them.

* AnAxeToGrind: Bo'sun, complete with DualWielding.

** Downplayed with Riku. While it's clear that a lot of what she does is manipulation to have Riku go against Sora, she never lies to him, finds Kairi, gives him power and advice, and supports his growth as her protégé. While Riku rightfully has cause to doubt her, it does seem like she had a genuine fondness for him. Unfortunately, since she was a PoisonousFriend, this leads him to be arrogant and also open to Ansem's DemonicPossession, which eventually leads to her final blow in the first game. Naturally, the two don't really interact all that much afterward because of their complicated history. When they do, one or the other is always a false version (real Maleficent and Data Riku, for example). The Manga expands on this point by having her infuriated when recalling her defeat when talking to Pete.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Befitting its name, the Rock Titan is colossal in size and has seemed to grow even larger in ''KHIII''.

* MightyGlacier: Incredibly slow, but it makes sense considering it is a giant made out of stone. In early footage of a boss battle with it in ''III'', it's considerably faster, though still by no means a LightningBruiser.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His official name is Pyros, but like all the above titans, Kingdom Hearts just calls him a Titan.

The royal vizier of Agrabah. Two-faced and cunning, Jafar seeks the demise of Aladdin and to rule as sultan of Agrabah.

* BackFromTheDead: Maleficent brings him back, but he's not all there.
* BerserkButton: Being fooled or tricked.

* EvilGenius: True, he's not altogether the smartest villain when it comes to most things, but If ''Kingdom Hearts II'' is anything to go by, he can reformat entire systems of machines into a battle arena and Heartless manufacturing systems.

* KilledOffForReal: Appears to be the case, as Donald crushes his brain bug after his defeat in ''II''. Though considering he's been killed this way and resurrected in his own series' continuity (VideoGame/TheNightmareBeforeChristmasOogiesRevenge) he could be revived later on.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: In terms of the events of ''Kingdom Hearts I'' and ''II'', Oogie does fairly little outside of Halloween Town and the greater plot. However, Its implied that he's the one who worked on the machinery for Ansem's Castle when Maleficent took Over Hollow Bastion (the Heartless manufactury being an exception), seeing as he specializes in machinery and rebuilt machine systems in other points of the series.
** Subverted in ''Chain of Memories''. He redoes the plot of the first game, but him seeing unedited memories and becoming a terrified wreck ties in the closest out of the Disney Worlds to that game's plot of finding lost memories and what that can entail.

* IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou: an interesting take on the trope. In the first game after they're beat, they stand around in the Evil Playroom, and each of them give slight hints as to what a lever there does, ultimately revealing that it ulocks the entrance to Oogies lair behind the green door.

* TheRemnant: In the first game, they formed a fairly powerful organization under Maleficent's leadership that was strong enough to conquer countless worlds with their enormous Heartless army. In the second game, they'd been reduced to just only Maleficent and Pete, and while they do manages to form local alliances here and there with both old and new villains, they don't last long due to Sora's interferences and they never manages to re-create the same type of a strong organization from before.

Maleficent is an evil fairy hellbent on taking over all worlds in existence. She poses a major threat early on in Sora's adventure, but she's later revealed to be Ansem, Seeker Of Darkness' UnwittingPawn before the climax of ''I''.

* BigBadWannabe:
** ''Coded'' and ''3D''. While she's still a threat, with the full scope of Xehanort's plans revealed she's far from the main concern of the heroes now, and has nowhere near the influence or power she had in the first game. Nonetheless, [[TheDeterminator she's still determined to conquer the worlds for her own.]]
** The additional scenes added to the storyline of ''coded'' reveal she was looking for one of the Foreteller's Books of Prophecies during ''3D''.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Downplayed with Riku. While it's clear that a lot of what she does is manipulation to have Riku go against Sora, she never lies to him, finds Kairi, gives him power and advice, and supports his growth as her protégé. While Riku Rightfully has cause to doubt her, it does seem like she had a genuine fondness for him. Unfortunately, since she was a PoisonousFriend, this leads him to be arrogant and also open to Ansem's DemonicPossession, which eventually leads to her final blow in the first game. Naturally, the two don't really interact all that much afterward because of their complicated history. When they do, one or the other is always a false version (real Maleficent and Data!Riku, for example). The Manga expands on this point by having her infuriated when recalling her defeat when talking to Pete.
** Also Downplayed with Pete. She's constantly belittling him, but never betrays him and consistently trusts and relies on him for her plans and fieldwork. In a sense, it implies he's something of a ReplacementGoldfish for Riku.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Although her not killing Sora in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' qualified more under PragmaticVillainy, her not attacking Sora in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsCoded'' definitely qualifies under this trope, as apparently even the (self-proclaimed) Mistress of All Evil has qualms towards attacking Sora and company after they saved her life and thus "made it even", at least not immediately (even though it was technically Data-Riku who did the actual saving).

* TheHeavy: In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI''.

* HypocriticalHeartwarming: In ''Dream Drop Distance'' she objects to Donald and Goofy insulting Pete. It's this because she frequently berates and insults Pete herself.

* PragmaticVillainy: After ''II'', Maleficent appears to have given up on attaining Kingdom Hearts like Xehanort and is focusing on gaining control of the [[RewritingReality Book of Prophecies]] instead while Sora and Xehanort's unrelated clash over Kingdom Hearts wraps up. Time will tell how this works out for her, but {{Foreshadowing}} would suggest that she has her priorities in order and the '':Re:Mind'' DLC seems to imply this was, in fact, an ''exceptionally'' smart idea!
* SaveTheVillain: When Maleficent holds back a horde of Dusks in ''KHII'' to [[EnemyMine aid Sora for her own selfish reasons]], Sora refuses to play along with her scheme and flee, heroically choosing to [[ChronicHeroSyndrome stay behind and help Maleficent.]] Donald, pointing out that this is contrary to all common sense, restrains Sora long enough [[VillainousRescue for Maleficent to get the chance to save them instead.]] Also, Data-Sora, possessing Sora's altruistic personality traits, attempts to save her from obliteration by his Data-Heartless in ''coded'', though he doesn't exactly succeed. (Data-Riku rescues her instead.)
* ScaledUp: You fight her dragon form in ''[=KH1=]'' -- right before [[invoked]]ThatOneBoss. To some, she's [[invoked]]ThatOneBoss in her own right. She also uses it against Aqua and Data-Sora.
* SequentialBoss: When Maleficent is fought in ''[=KH1=]'', her first form is her as a witch. After winning this fight, you get a break to save and heal before you have to deal with her as a dragon.

* BadassOnPaper: While Pete is a buffoon without a doubt, he actually is more impressive then you would think. First off he is is shown to have impressive command over a particularly large amount of Heartless. It takes a sizable amount of darkness within his heart and control over it (making him at least a tier above HarmlessVillain status) to get their attention and a strong will in order to control them. The fact that he has command over the heartless for this long without succumbing to them and becoming a Heartless himself speaks volumes. He was also able to fight off Sora and his friends twice (in both circumstances being against Hercules and his younger self) and survive to do it again another day, something some of Maleficent's more intimidating allies could not brag doing.

* HiddenDepths: It's hinted the reason for his FaceHeelTurn is that he's accepted the fact that he'll always be called and treated as a thug, and by playing that role and sticking by Maleficent he will get the respect he once had before his subordinate grew and became a king. In fact proving himself Mickey's better is why he holds off a horde of Heartless at 2s Climax.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He is perfectly aware of the fact that he can't really hold his own all that well against Nobodies. He's only following Maleficent because the alternative is worse.

* TragicVillain: It is pretty clear that he yearns for simpler times when he was just the captain of a Steamboat in a little world before access to the rest of the universe had opened up for him and his people. This sadness was so genuine that ''the universe itself'' took pity on him and manifested a portal to the Timeless River so that he could relive his glory days and possible turn a new leaf.

* TheUnfought: He isn't faced in a boss fight in ''Birth By Sleep'' and ''Dream Drop Distance'', though the latter does feature a fight with his past self in the Country of the Musketeers.

* VideogameCrueltyPotential: During his boss fight in Timeless River, if you combo Past!Pete, he will launch into the air and make a shockwave upon landing, he will then get up and yell ''[[WhatTheHellHero What's that for!?!]]'' before going back into the fray. But it is a bit of a subversion, as it doesn't have any substantial effect on either Pete (Present!Pete receives little damage if this is done).

* OutsideContextVillain: He is unrelated to Xehanort or the Heartless, and thankfully appears to be confined to Symphony of Sorcery.

* VillainSong: Music/NightOnBaldMountain, originally composed by Modest Mussorgsky. Notable for being one of only two Disney bosses to get his own theme in the series (the other being Rinzler). He did not have it in the Japanese version of ''Kingdom Hearts'' though. He does have it in ''Dream Drop Distance''. After ''Kingdom Hearts'' featured a synthesized arrangement of the piece, ''Dream Drop Distance'' features an arrangement more faithful to Mussorgsky's work, and this arrangement is carried over to the ''1.5'' version of ''Final Mix''.

* WingedHumanoid: The wings are largely for show.

* WarmUpBoss: The first boss our protagonists must face to get players used to the mechanics.

* AdaptationalHeroism: An incredible SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome involving the character occurs in ''Dream Drop Distance''. Right from the start of his battle with the FinalBoss of Prankster's Paradise, Sora struggles to contend with the Chill Crawbster as he is unable to fly at that point, making it difficult for him to get within range of the creature to strike it effectively. Then, to the surprise of many, Monstro shows up to ''help Sora out'' and stays by the young Keyblader's side until the battle is over. Considering that he was frozen solid by The Chill Crawbster beforehand, this could also count as both an exmaple of TheDogBitesBack and EnemyMine.

* KnifeNut: Jacoby is usually DualWielding these for close range attacks.

* KnifeNut: While Sora never takes on her human form in combat, she still has the knife that she did in the movie and uses it to [[InTheBack deadly effect as poor Flynn found out.]]

* SpiritualSuccessor: Clu's role in Sora's side of the game is identical to that of Lady Tremaine in ''Birth by Sleep'', with both keeping prisoners and the hero having to fight hard to free them. When they succeed, both Tremaine and Clu resort to murder, with only Clu succeeding.
