History Main / ChaoticEvil

* This is the defining character trait of Marlowe's ''Theatre/DoctorFaustus'', in stark contrast to LawfulEvil Mephistopheles. He really, ''really'' hates having to put up with limitations of any kind, and his whole reason for devoting his life to {{Satan}} -- knowing full well this would result in his death and probably getting sent to Hell for eternity --i s because he can't bear to have the inherent limitations of ''being human''.

* Kullervo, the tragic AntiHero/Antivillain of the Finnish ''Kalevala'', is a vicious mass murderer with an HairTriggerTemper and mental illness.

* [[VictorianLondon Spring-heeled Jack]] seemed motivated by the desire to do evil for its own sake, and [[EvilIsPetty petty evil at that]]. Physically assaulting random people, jumping in front of carriages to scare the drivers for the hell of it, coming up to and slapping soldiers at their barracks and generally scaring the bejeesus out of the citizens of London and the rest of England, for no reason other than its own amusement.

** Don John in ''Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing'' plots to destroy the love of Hero and Claudio for no reason at all. Don John is also StupidEvil and / or ChaoticStupid as he clearly hasn't thought any of his plans out and he seems to get caught out more than once. Without his HypercompetentSidekick Boraccio providing the brains behind his schemes he'd get nowhere.

* This is the defining character trait of Marlowe's ''Theatre/DoctorFaustus'', in stark contrast to LawfulEvil Mephistopheles. He really, ''really'' hates having to put up with limitations of any kind, and his whole reason for devoting his life to {{Satan}}-knowing full well this would result in his death and probably getting sent to Hell for eternity-is because he can't bear to have the inherent limitations of ''being human''.

* Most {{Card Carrying Villain}}s whom ''aren't'' NeutralEvil.

Can ''easily'', and almost always does, overlap with CompleteMonster.

* The [[EvilIsDeathlyCold North Wind]], the titular elemental entity from the obscure spanish animated film ''The Legend of the North Wind'' is an ancient, malevolent and savage spirit with [[AnIcePerson cryokinetic]] powers who wants to turn the world into a frozen wasteland and exterminate the whales out of spite and sadism.

%%* The dummy (and [[spoiler:The Barbed Wheel]]) in ''Roleplay/RubyQuest'' is probably this.
* [[spoiler:Tez On Toast]] of ''WebVideo/KateModern''. His earlier personas are slightly more open to debate, but from mid-season 2 onwards, he is a drug-crazed homicidal lunatic who switches motives in the blink of an eye, and takes great pleasure out of killing and torturing.
* Flippy's evil side from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''. When he sees something that reminds him of war, he turns evil and kills everyone around him.
* Satan from ''Literature/TheSalvationWar'' is remarkably AxCrazy even for his usual image. [[spoiler: So is Yahwee.]]

%%** The Necromancer.
%%* ''Podcast/RandomAssault'': Slabflapper.
* [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/insanity-wolf Insanity Wolf]], a meme regarding a AxCrazy SavageWolf deepening advice that works out to this or StupidEvil, [[PlayedForLaughs whichever's funnier]].
* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYybbdPuzJw this video]], [[WesternAnimation/TitanicTheLegendGoesOn William]] is portrayed as a [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil Serial rapist]] stalker.
--> [[spoiler:William: I was looking for someone... someone with unforgettable eye. And now that I've found her, I'm not going to let her get away from me! -- VoiceOfTheLegion -- AND YOU WON'T TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS, YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP QUIET... LIKE A GOOD GIRL.]]
* ''WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses''. At one point, a man who's dying of cancer and only has one day to live asks him whether or not he should go around killing people he's always hated. Ask That Guy tells him not to, because that wouldn't be random enough and he should instead go around killing people he's never met.
%%* Many CreepyPasta including Slender Man (Though the much more popular rendition of him portrays him as LawfulEvil and even more sympathetic versions introduce him as LawfulNeutral), Jeff the Killer, Seed Eater, Zalgo, etc.
* Charles Green (aka Angry Grandpa) from ''WebVideo/TheAngryGrandpa'' is an iconic example of this alignment. Supremely destructive, violent, and with a temper shorter than any normal human being. Very rarely is he nice, and he has a range of weapons that could impress any psychopath. Destructive, [[NoIndoorVoice yells a lot]], and just plain obnoxious to ANYONE who dares piss him off or express a simple opinion.
* Any CreepyPasta antagonist (or VillainProtagonist) is, in theory, this. Most iconic examples being [[SerialKiller Jeff The Killer]] (Or StupidEvil, depending on your view of him. Though the official remake makes him out to be a particularly violent TrueNeutral), [[TheBlank Slender Man]] (more sympathetic examples portray him as LawfulEvil or TrueNeutral), [[GenericDoomsdayVillain Zalgo]], [[DepravedKidsShowHost Mr. Bear]], [[OurGhostsAreDifferent BEN]] (Like Slender Man, more sympathetic examples portray him as ChaoticNeutral) and [[KnightOfCerebus Skin-Taker]].
* On the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'', Dream is described as this, desiring to disrupt the status quo, and has a tendency to do things ForTheEvulz at times. Despite claiming to be a WellIntentionedExtremist who wants to reunite his server ([[ControlFreak under his rule]]), he tends to use extreme methods to do so, having no qualms about [[NukeEm destroying countries]] and {{gaslighting}} and manipulating [[WouldHurtAChild minors]], [[spoiler:once to the point of suicidality]], among many other things.
* [[PresidentEvil Charles Oswald]] of ''Literature/WhatMadnessIsThis'' is a totalitarian dictator and AxCrazy lunatic, who murdered his entire family for personal gain and then joined the military, where he [[SociopathicSoldier committed every known war crime with unhidden glee]], including mass genocide with flamethrowers, becoming known as The Beast of America, a name [[InsultBackfire he and his men were proud to use]]. Once he becomes president, not only does he conquer almost the entire continent and exterminate the natives in just a few decades, but even starts massacring his own people and destroying cities by nuclear fire. He is so unstable that eventually even his right-hand man decides [[PragmaticVillainy he’s a threat to their goals and must be put down]], at which point Oswald tries to nuke [[TakingYouWithMe his own capital]], failing only because he is shot first.

* Most unsympathetic portrayals of {{Satan}} (sympathetic portrayals tend to be LawfulEvil)

Can overlap with CompleteMonster.
