* King Dedede, recurring nemesis of ''{{Kirby}}''. The two often end up in a battle over who gets to eat more.

* Bowser himself from ''SuperMarioBros.'', in specific, during the third ''Mario & Luigi''.

* Borgan from ''[[{{Lunar}} Lunar 2: Eternal Blue]]''. So fat he apparently has to have corridors greased to pass through them. Additionally, there are pictures of various characters in-game called bromides, and they usually show people in an attractive pose. [[FanDisservice Borgan's is bathtime]].

The Orange Lanterns under his thrall are all immensely greedy themselves, including among their number a literal god of hunger and Glomulus, who was used as a literal garbage disposal all his life. Agent Orange's hunger is in fact a direct result of being the barer of the orange light of avarice. He is constantly plagued by a hunger that is seemingly impossible to satisfy no matter how much he eats. When GreenLantern Hal Jordan tried taking away his orange power battery it exerted a similar effect, and even though he just held onto it for a second or so he was starving right after.\\

* [[MeaningfulName Beelzebub]] of ''UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'' is the second youngest of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Stakes of Purgatory]]. At one point in the side materials, she gives Valentine's Day chocolate to Gohda, the Ushiromiya family chef so that he'll return the favor on White Day (and sure enough, he immediately flies to Belgium). She's even willing [[ITasteDelicious to use bits of]] [[ImAHumanitarian her own flesh]] if she thinks it will make a good meal. She isn't fat, though.

* The Vorsh siblings in ''{{Jack}}'' are Gluttony personified. They are vicious demonic cannibals but, in a subversion, are extremely emaciated.

->''"In case you were still wondering, yes, he’s THAT fat! He’s [[AC: ORCA!]] He’s horrific!"''
-->--'''[[{{Monk}} Sharona Fleming]]''', ''Mr. Monk Meets Dale The Whale''

There are the villains who [[CompleteMonster provoke moral outrage.]] Others are [[EvillyAffable funny]] or even [[AffablyEvil somewhat likeable]]. Some [[EvilIsSexy arouse carnal desires.]] A rare few [[MagnificentBastard inspire twisted admiration.]] And then, there's pure disgust. That's what this guy - [[AlwaysMale and it's very commonly a guy]] - is for. He consumes. He devours. He gives nothing back. Meet: the VillainousGlutton.

Typically LargeAndInCharge.

!!Examples:

[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]

* Wapol from ''OnePiece'', who actually has eating as a ''power'': He ate the Baku-Baku (Munch-Munch) Fruit, which not only lets him eat ''anything'', but incorporate the aspects of what he's eaten into his body. In a bizarre subversion though, Wapol ends up being LeanAndMean as well: he actually eats ''his own excess bulk'' to fit through a door. Nobody knows how that works. Ask the writer. [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum That'll be good for a laugh.]]\\
\\
Commodore Nelson is extremely obese, to the point of immobility, and is almost always seen eating. Alvida, a villainess from an early arc exhibits a distinct cowboy motif and so much pork it's a wonder she ''can'' move. She's utterly convinced that she's the most beautiful thing on the seas. Later on she reappears, having eaten the Slip-Slip fruit. In addition to giving her a smooth, frictionless complexion, it seems to have made her excess weight "slip" off as well; she makes a point of stating that "the only change is that my acne is gone", though, so she might not have changed her diet any. (Her name was Alvida the Iron Mace)

* Polpo from ''JojosBizarreAdventure'' Part 5. Due to his position in the mob, he gets to stay well protected in a posh prison cell, surrounded by food. His LaserGuidedKarma hits him when Giornio changes a gun into a banana and tricks Polpo into shooting himself.

* Prime Minister Kamiya in SpeedGrapher.
* His [[AdiposeRex weight]] is questionable due to his outfit, but [[RoyalBrat Earl Tyrant]] of FinalFantasyUnlimited definitely fits the glutton part. 90% of his scenes take place with him eating something or other [[spoiler: usually made from the negative emotions of his "subjects".]]
* Maybe Emperor Charles from CodeGeass. Although "old" and "big-boned", he seems a lat larger than the usually slim characters we're accustomed to. It doesn't help that [[http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Charles_di_Britannia%27s_speech in one of his speeches]], he says "one must devour all".

[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* The Kingpin from MarvelComics, who is [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower actually hugely muscular]] and works out for hours and hours a day. It's just that his densely compacted muscle causes him to ''look'' gigantically fat. Naturally, {{Spider-Man}} jokes about this at every available opportunity. (This is actually somewhat TruthInTelevision; while most people seem to think that the strongest people look like bodybuilders, powerlifters tend to have a lot more girth.)
* Tobias Whale, an EvilAlbino and obvious CaptainErsatz of the Kingpin from TheDCU, is actually fat, but still very strong.
* Stephen Mandragora in ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', a {{Expy}} of Tobias Whale. However, Black Canary, who nearly broke her hand punching him, doubts there's an ounce of actual fat on him.
* Mandragora's son Edgar, as well, as seen in ''BatmanBeyond''. Of course, he was also a skilled martial artist with powerful zen abilities...
* Also, in ''{{Preacher}}'', there's the original leader of The Grail, before [[spoiler:Herr Starr takes it over]] - he's too fat to move under his own power, and bulimic to boot. He's so heavy that ''he wrecks passenger jets upon landing''.

Leads to a CrowningMomentOfFunny when he arrives at a casino hotel in Vegas. When he spots the "All-you-can-eat" Buffet, he reacts like a pilgrim finally reaching Mecca.

[[AC:{{Film}}]]

[[AC:{{Literature}}]]

* Who can be a better example of this than the arachnid Shelob in ''[[TheLordOfTheRings The Two Towers]]''? She literally wants nothing more than to consume everything she can, orc, man, elf, or hobbit.\\
\\
Ungoliant, Shelob's mother from ''The Silmarillion'', who wanted to consume everyone. In the world. Even Morgoth, the big bad of those days, was scared of her. And for a good reason -- Ungoliant ate all the artificial gems Morgoth had stolen, ''after'' having drank all the Light of the Trees. *burp*. She would have eaten the Silmarils and Morgoth if he had not summoned some Balrogs to drive her off. Eventually she went North and ate herself. Ungoliant's probably the closest the LOTR universe has to a genuine EldritchAbomination.

* Each of the villains in the KeysToTheKingdom series represents a deadly sin, with Drowned Wednesday representing gluttony. [[spoiler:This trope is averted, however, when it turns out that she is no longer a villain.]]
* In Eoin Colfer's The Supernaturalist, Mayor Ray Shine is suggested to be huge, and is most villanous.

[[AC:LiveActionTV]]

* There was a one-off demon villain in ''{{Buffy}}'' that was so fat he could hardly move.
** He didn't need to move. He had telekinesis.
* Grunchlk from ''{{Farscape}}'', who always seems to be eating something while on camera- even if it's two of his own fingers.

* Nerus, a Goa'uld from ''StargateSG1'', is a relatively sympathetic villain, for his species. Which means he's a devious but AffablyEvil bastard. When he turns out to have become a double-agent for the Ori and remains completely unhelpful to Stargate Command, General Landry figures out how to get his cooperation: no food.
* In ''{{Pushing Daisies}}'', [[spoiler: Leo Burns exacts bitter vengeance upon the cook whose food immobilized him with obesity]].

[[AC:TabletopGames]]

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* And of course, the Mad Bomber, Fatman, from ''[[MetalGearSolid Metal Gear Solid 2]]'', probably deserves mention here as well. Supposedly, his obesity would leave him practically immobile, if it wasn't for his nifty in-line skates... and besides, his taunt makes for the perfect header quote. "Laugh, and grow fat!" Oddly enough, he isn't called "Fatman" because of his bulk. His codename is based on the "Fatman", the atomic bomb that devastated Nagasaki in WWII.
* The mayor of Lilligue in ''[[{{Grandia}} Grandia II]]'' is one of these. But then, he has been possessed by the tongue of a demon-god, so....\\
\\
[[spoiler: Pope Zera]], a boss with animated ''jowls'', undergoes a [[FaceHeelTurn face heel turn]] by the end.

* ''NoMoreHeroes'' - Assassin No. 3, Speed Buster. Despite her apparent vagrancy...
* ''TeamFortress2'' - The Heavy gets the Sandvich. The Heavy alvays gets the Sandvich.
* [[SonicTheHedgehog Dr Robotnik/Eggman]] Is usually potrayed as this to excuse his gimmicky shape, but we've only ever seen him eat something once in the games. However, it involves him eating a submarine sandwich in under two bites, so it has some merit.
* From ''JakAndDaxter'' we have... Krew.
* Mr. Luggs from ''LuigisMansion''. You can hear his eating from the other side of the mansion, he [[FireBreathingDiner shoots fire at Luigi]] and apparently ate himself to death by the age of 30. As the description says: ''He prefers all-you-can-eat buffets to three meals a day. He ate himself to death but still wasn't satisfied. ''
* Bowser himself from SuperMarioBros, in specific, during the third Mario & Luigi.

* Who can forget [[ObviouslyEvil Dong Zhuo]] from [[DynastyWarriors Dynasty Warriors]]? Seriously, this troper is even surprised that he can even fight with that bulk weight on.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* Ursula from Disney's ''TheLittleMermaid'', which is unusual as Disney villains are more likely to be LeanAndMean. She even eats shrimps while they're alive.

* Hoggish Greedly from ''CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers''. He's rather corpulent, and he even has a heavy pig motif in his dialogue and machinery. Despite this, he has been shown to be a good runner at least three times in the series.

* In the ''Dexter's Laboratory'' two-parter "Ego Trip", in one future Mandark is a hugely fat evil overlord, obviously inspired by Baron Harkonnen.
* BruceCampbell as the mayor in ''CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'' keeps getting fatter and more corrupt.
* Although not fat, Gaston from ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' eats ''five dozen'' eggs for breakfast.

* Oogie Boogie from ''TheNightmareBeforeChristmas''. He tries to eat [[strike: Sandy Claws]] SantaClaus and also [[spoiler: Sally when she tries to save Santa]]. But not before [[CompleteMonster torturing them for shits and giggles]].

[[AC:WebComic]]
* Vorsh siblings in ''{{Jack}}'' are Gluttony personified. They are vicious demonic cannibals but, in a subversion, are extremely emaciated.

* [[PropheticName Gluttony]] from ''FullmetalAlchemist''.
** To be fair, he was literally ''made'' that way.

* Wapol from ''OnePiece'', who actually has eating as a ''power'': He ate the Baku-Baku (Munch-Munch) Fruit, which not only lets him eat ''anything'', but incorporate the aspects of what he's eaten into his body.

*** Alvida, a villainess from an early arc exhibits a distinct cowboy motif and so much pork it's a wonder she ''can'' move. She's utterly convinced that she's the most beautiful thing on the seas.

(Her name was Alvida the Iron Mace)
**** In the manga she says "Only my freckles are gone". This troper finds that more likely, because she would ''never'' admit to having acne. Ever. No way.

* While not fat, Agent Orange, leader of the Orange Lantern Corps in TheDCU. In the emotional spectrum, Orange represents selfishness and greed, and Agent Orange is the greediest creature to ever live; When the Controllers discovered his secluded base, they discover he'd been revelling in the consumption of extremely rotten and disgusting food. True to form, he's the only true member of the corps; the others are all spirits of the people he killed in his constant search for '''''more'''''.
** Interrupting his meal is also the reason why he's became active again
** And as it happens the Orange Lanterns under his thrall are all immensely greedy themselves, including among their number a literal god of hunger and Glomulus, who was used as a literal garbage disposal all his life.
** Agent Orange's hunger is in fact a direct result of being the barer of the orange light of avarice. He is constantly plagued by a hunger that is seemingly impossible to satisfy no matter how much he eats. When GreenLantern Hal Jordan tried taking away his orange power battery it exerted a similar effect, and even though he just held onto it for a second or so he was starving right after.
** Leads to a CrowningMomentOfFunny when he arrives at a casino hotel in Vegas. When he spots the "All-you-can-eat" Buffet, he reacts like a pilgrim finally reaching Mecca.

** And of course, there's also Pizza the Hutt from ''{{Spaceballs}}''.

* Who can be a better example of this than the arachnid Shelob in ''[[TheLordOfTheRings The Two Towers]]''? She literally wants nothing more than to consume everything she can, orc, man, elf, or hobbit.
** Ungoliant, Shelob's mother from ''The Silmarillion'', who wanted to consume everyone. In the world. Even Morgoth, THE big bad of those days, was scared of her.
*** And for a good reason too - Ungoliant ate several of the Silmarils like they were candy, while Morgoth couldn't even ''touch'' the things without being burned. Ungoliant's probably the closest the LOTR universe has to a genuine EldritchAbomination.
**** She never ate any Silmarils, as there were only three of them made. She did eat all the other artificial gems Morgoth had stolen, AFTER having drank all the Light of the Trees. * burp* She would have eaten the Silmarils and Morgoth if he hadn't summoned some Balrogs to drive her off. Eventually she went North and ate herself.

* And of course, the Mad Bomber, Fatman, from ''MetalGearSolid 2'', probably deserves mention here as well. Supposedly, his obesity would leave him practically immobile, if it wasn't for his nifty in-line skates... and besides, his taunt makes for the perfect header quote. "Laugh, and grow fat!"
** Oddly enough, he isn't called "Fatman" because of his bulk. His codename is based on the "Fatman", the atomic bomb that devastated Nagasaki in WWII.
*** What's in a name? A hell of a lot.
* The mayor of Lilligue in ''{{Grandia}} II'' is one of these. But then, he has been possessed by the tongue of a demon-god, so....
** [[spoiler: Pope Zera]], a boss with animated ''jowls'', undergoes a [[FaceHeelTurn face heel turn]] by the end.
* Sturrock the Meat King, your first target from ''{{Hitman}} Contracts''. His perverse sexual proclivities complement his sizable mass, making it clear that he is evil and unsavory in every possible way.

* Duke Oliver in ''FireEmblem: Path of Radiance''.
* Assassin No. 3, Speed Buster, in ''NoMoreHeroes''. Despite her apparent vagrancy...
* [[TeamFortress2 The Heavy gets the Sandvich. The Heavy alvays gets the Sandvich.]]

* Mr. Luggs from LuigisMansion. You can hear his eating from the other side of the mansion, he [[FireBreathingDiner shoots fire at Luigi]] and apparently ate himself to death by the age of 30. As the description says:

* ''TengaiMakyou IV'' features Madame Appetit, who leads a bizarre cult of gluttony out of Tombstone, AZ. She also proves to be an {{Acrofatic}}.

* Sally Struthers in the Starvin' Marvin episodes of ''SouthPark''. (The second one even had her look like Jabba the Hutt.)

* Oleander from ''SushiPack.'' She's usually only a villain because she wants to eat the Sushi Pack, who are admittedly living pieces of sushi. She also has the moniker "The Gulping Gourmet," which explains her large frame.
** According the coloring books, Oleander is her last name; her first name is ''Fat''ima.

* Vorsh siblings in {{Jack}} are Gluttony personified. They are vicious demonic cannibals but, in a subversion, are extremely emaciated.

* It should be noted that Hermann Goering himself has got a fairly sympathetic treatment from biographers. He had little actual political power during the worst excesses of the Third Reich, and in fact seems to have saved many people. His basic failing seems to have been lacking the moral courage to stand up to Hitler. Which would probably have got him killed rather early on.
** Goering was ''not'' without nasty, selfish qualities, however. In his quest to become Hitler's War Minister (which he technically never achieved), he ruined the reputations of those in his way so that they were removed, including the existing War Minister Werner von Blomberg, Commander-in-Chief Werner von Fritsch (with the help of Heinrich Himmler), and Minister of Economics Hjalmar Schacht.

*** I read under NightmareFuel that she eats shrimps while they're alive, but didn't watch the movie. Who's right now?
