As the spoiled heir to Josaki Industries, Shinichiro uses his resources to create the powerful Deathmon, and forces children to use their pet-like Digimon to duel him under threat of physical violence. After invariably defeating the children's Digimon, Shinichiro gleefully destroys their Digimon just to torment them before moving on to his next victim.

Shinichiro was the first ''Digimon'' villain ever created, and stands out as one of its most petty and cruel.

Daemon kickstarts a war in the Digital World to slowly tear it apart and kill everything in his forces' paths, and regularly send out his homicidal generals and commanders who put countless Digimon in danger. Callously murdering any of his minions who fail or attempt to betray him, Daemon corrupts the young Neo into becoming a ruthless psychopath who kills hundreds of Digimon while training the powerful Arukahdimon in the ways of destruction.

* [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Myotismon]] is a sinister Digimon with a sadistic streak a mile wide. Myotismon [[BadBoss treats his underlings awfully]], having taking Gatomon in when she was young and abusing her until she was a killing machine. When his henchmen fail him, he eagerly destroys them. When two harmless minions couldn't bring themselves to harm children, Myotismon killed them on the spot. When he invaded Tokyo, he proceeded to destroy much of it and held a number of children captive to identify the final child connected with Gatomon. He made it clear if it took too much time, he'd simply [[WouldHurtAChild kill them all]]. Myotismon also proceeded to attack multiple young women and drain their blood, causing an epidemic through Tokyo. Any minions he hadn't already killed were cannibalized to fuel his [[OneWingedAngel Mega transformation]].

Using a man named Oikawa's sadness and despair to make him a pawn, he proceeded to consume him from within and upon manifesting anew, Myotismon repaid his perfectly loyal ally Arukenimon by [[ColdBloodedTorture sadistically torturing her to death]] and killing Mummymon when he tried to avenge her.

He causes the death of Sukamon by restructuring Digiworld into Spiral Mountain, kills Chumon himself, nearly kills [=WarGreymon=], and then transforms most of the Digi Destined and their Digimon into keychains, planning to keep them all [[AndIMustScream trapped as toys forever]], while he hunts the [[WouldHurtAChild two youngest members of the team down]], intent on brutally murdering them.

* [[TheManBehindTheMan Lucemon]] is a FallenAngel Digimon with [[AGodAmI a messiah complex]]. In his own warped, self righteous mind, Lucemon thinks that the Digital World has gone rotten and [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist wants to tear it apart bit by bit]], bringing about the loss of much data and the deaths of countless Digimon, [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans all so he can rebuild]] it [[InTheirOwnImage in his image]]. He describes as a utopia where every Digimon that lives is stripped of their free will and free thought with Lucemon as their shepherd. In reality, what he intends to create is a Hell in Digi-world, where all Digimon are slaves [[ItsAllAboutMe and the only one who will be happy is him.]] To do this, he corrupted Cherubimon and made him the villain for most of the series. He then used his two Royal Knight followers to erase data from the Digital World, and once he was free, he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness disposed of said followers]] just to power himself up. He gets even worse when the Digi-egg containing his darker side turns into Satan Mode, a being filled with nothing but darkness and malice. In this form, he attempts to claim the human world as well. He also uses various methods to torture the good guys purely for fun. Lucemon was, in the end, completely insane and never thoughtful of the lives of others: only himself, his pride, and his hatred towards the Digital World's existence that was not up to his standards.

''[[AC:[[Anime/DigimonFusion Fusion]]]]''
* Season 1: [[InsaneAdmiral Tactimon]] is the leader of [[Characters/DigimonFusionBagraArmy Lord Bagra's armies]], and his honor code is based solely on his standards of perfection rather than true honor and decency. Not only is he responsible for rounding up several good Digimon into labor camps, including Cutemon's parents, but he was prepared to [[WouldHurtAChild torture Mikey, a child, to death]], as opposed to the quick, painless execution he could have ordered, and later tries to kill him with a beam cannon blast. As if that wasn't bad enough, he's a full follower of the WeHaveReserves mantra and has no compunctions about sacrificing his own subordinates for the sake of maintaining his supposedly perfect battle record, a practice that disgusted Dorulumon enough to defect from his side. Towards the end, he uses the negative energy of many Digimon in order to turn their data into dark spirits that he absorbs into his sword in order to boost his own power and ends up taking the life of Grademon without an iota of remorse. Once he got out into the real world, he proceeded to lay waste to the entire area in hopes of getting his enemies killed and taking away what they value. Shortly afterwards, he attempts to murder Angie and Jeremy with his bare hands. When it comes time for him to do battle with his enemies, all Tactimon can truly feel is [[BloodKnight pure excitement over the thrill of combat and bloodshed]].

** [[OurVampiresAreDifferent NeoMyotismon/NeoVamdemon]] is an {{Expy}} of ''Adventure's'' Myotismon and one of Lord Bagra's Seven Death Generals. The ruler of Vampire Land, he was characterized by an undying thirst for power. He possesses familiar spirits known as Evilvils that seek out the life energy of Digimon and give it to him. Not only does he [[TheAssimilator fuse both his minions and his enemies into himself]], but he absorbs a great number of innocent Lopmon living in his domain in order to gain {{immortality|Immorality}} from their hidden power. During his battle with the [[Characters/DigimonFusionFusionFighters Fusion Fighters]], he attempts to absorb Christopher's (Kiriha's) partner, Metal Greymon, into himself as well, forcing Metal Greymon into an AndIMustScream situation.
** [[GravityMaster Gravimon]], ruler of Canyon Land, is another of the Death Generals. He uses his own core as a way to take Christopher hostage, and then reveals himself as a sadist who uses his cables to torture Christopher and probe his mind. He revels in the following MindRape, mercilessly playing off of Christopher's psyche until [[MoreThanMindControl Christopher becomes broken enough]] to join him and obey his wishes. This set in motion the events that resulted in, among other things, the tragic death of Deckerdramon, which he ensured by dropping a large gravity attack on top of him. When fighting against the Fusion Fighters, Gravimon tries to physically crush [[WouldHurtAChild both the kids]] and their Digimon in his grasp before trying to manipulate Christopher again with a SadisticChoice- he'd inserted his core into Mikey's body, causing Mikey to endure agonizing pain in the process, and tells Christopher that the only way to destroy both the core and him is to kill Mikey. When Christopher refuses and surrenders instead, Gravimon deems his trust in his friends to be weakness.

* ''VideoGame/DigimonWorld'' & related games: [[OverarchingVillain Analogman]], along with [[Anime/DigimonSavers Kurata]] easily the [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters most vile human]] in the entire franchise, is a hacker who turned into an OmnicidalManiac. He came to the Digital World, and sought to rule it by taking over Digimon and turning them into weapons. He saw them as little more than slaves to be used and abused as he saw fit, and says so more than once. The child protagonist, Mameo, fights against him and his partner Machinedramon, and wins. Analogman tries to kill Mameo with a bomb, but he dies instead. He later returns as a ghost in ''VideoGame/DigimonDigitalCardBattle''. The PlayerCharacter, heavily implied to be Hiro again, comes back to compete in a card tournament that takes a sinister twist when some of the villains from Adventure return. The last boss is apparently [=VenomMyotismon=], but he is abruptly {{hijacked|By Ganon}} when Analogman returns and possesses the vampire. [=VenomMyotismon=]'s mind is killed, but his body is now used by Analogman as a suit. Analogman challenges Hiro again, and loses, but before he can act on his revenge plan, he is sealed away in the "Deep Net." Analogman returns again in ''VideoGame/DigimonWorldNextOrder''. Possessing Tsuzuki Shoma, Analogman tries one more campaign of terror against the Digital World, poisoning Digimon all over the world and forcibly turning them into Machinedramon clones. The process is painful, and worse, contagious. While it can be fought, it can also be enhanced by torturing the victims, as Analogman demonstrates more than once. His ultimate goal is to take the Executor--Noir the Omnimon Zwart D, and use his power to destroy a CosmicKeystone that would [[ApocalypseHow erase the entire Digimon multiverse from existence]], just to see what happens next.

* [=NeoMyotismon=] ([=NeoVamdemon=]) is an {{Expy}} of ''Adventure's'' Myotismon and one of Lord Bagra's Seven Death Generals. The [[OurVampiresAreDifferent ruler of Vampire Land]], he was characterized by an undying thirst for power. He possesses familiar spirits known as Evilvils that seek out the life energy of Digimon and give it to him. Not only does he [[TheAssimilator fuse both his minions and his enemies into himself]], but he absorbs a great number of innocent Lopmon living in his domain in order to gain {{immortality|Immorality}} from their hidden power. During his battle with the Fusion Fighters, he attempts to absorb Christopher's (Kiriha’s) partner, Metal Greymon, into himself as well, forcing Metal Greymon into an AndIMustScream BodyHorror situation.

* ''VideoGame/DigimonWorld'' & related games: Analogman, along with [[Anime/DigimonSavers Kurata]] easily the [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters most vile human]] in the entire franchise, is a hacker who turned into an OmnicidalManiac. He came to the Digital World, and sought to rule it by taking over Digimon and turning them into weapons. He saw them as little more than slaves to be used and abused as he saw fit, and says so more than once. The child protagonist, Mameo, fights against him and his partner Machinedramon, and wins. Analogman tries to kill Mameo with a bomb, but he dies instead. He later returns as a ghost in ''VideoGame/DigimonDigitalCardBattle''. The PlayerCharacter, heavily implied to be Hiro again, comes back to compete in a card tournament that takes a sinister twist when some of the villains from Adventure return. The last boss is apparently [=VenomMyotismon=], but he is abruptly {{hijacked|By Ganon}} when Analogman returns and possesses the vampire. [=VenomMyotismon=]'s mind is killed, but his body is now used by Analogman as a suit. Analogman challenges Hiro again, and loses, but before he can act on his revenge plan, he is sealed away in the "Deep Net." Analogman returns again in ''VideoGame/DigimonWorldNextOrder''. Possessing Tsuzuki Shoma, Analogman tries one more campaign of terror against the Digital World, poisoning Digimon all over the world and forcibly turning them into Machinedramon clones. The process is painful, and worse, contagious. While it can be fought, it can also be enhanced by torturing the victims, as Analogman demonstrates more than once. His ultimate goal is to take the Executor--Noir the Omnimon Zwart D, and use his power to destroy a CosmicKeystone that would [[ApocalypseHow erase the entire Digimon multiverse from existence]], just to see what happens next.
* ''VideoGame/DigimonWorldDataSquad'': [[BigBad Lucemon]] is TheManBehindTheMan for both [[TheHeavy Tsukasa Kagura]] and [[TheDragon Creepymon]]. The king of the Dark Area and the [[UltimateEvil Chao-Mao Digimon]], he's orchestrated everything in the plot by [[spoiler:[[ManipulativeBastard manipulating]] Kagura's feelings of jealousy]] to do whatever it took to revive himself. Through [[spoiler:him]], Lucemon made sure [[PoweredByAForsakenChild five children]] throughout the world were merged with one of the Code Keys of the Seven Deadly Sins to create Mao Digimon, The Great Demon Lords. He also has Creepymon attack Kosaburo Katsura and Biyomon to retrieve the Code Keys he's attained. After Creepymon assaults DATS HQ but is defeated, it's revealed Creepymon was [[HumanResources made of]] a former DATS member Masaki Nitta, who [[AndIMustScream was aware of his situation but unable to stop himself]], and [[spoiler:cannot go back to being human, essentially dying as data before his daughter]]. When Kagura finally releases the seal on Lucemon, he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness betrays]] Kagura and tells him [[ShootTheShaggyDog how he deceived]] the scientist. After absorbing Kagura, Code of Key of Pride himself, Lucemon flees, but not before spreading the influence of the [[EldritchLocation Dark Area]]. An evil Digimon who deemed himself infinite, immortal, and absolute, Lucemon is a remorseless OmnicidalManiac who desired to engulf everything in the Dark Area.

* [[BigBad Akihiro Kurata]] is the [[FourEyesZeroSoul bespectacled]] former assistant of Spencer Daimon, whom he secretly hated. During the expedition to the Digital World, after being frightened by several Digimon, he developed an [[FantasticRacism obsessive hatred of them]]. [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Claiming that they are a threat to the world to justify his actions]], he [[MadScientist creates]] the artificial Digimon Gizumon, [[KilledOffForReal which permanently deletes a Digimon]]. Sending a group with the Gizumon, they [[DisproportionateRetribution murder hundreds of innocent Digimon]] in [[FinalSolution an attempt at their extinction]]. Upon finding the Digi-Egg of [[AncientEvil Belphemon]], Kurata then decides to take control of the beast in order to make himself the [[TakeOverTheWorld ruler of both worlds]]. Pretending to be an ally to the heroes, he reveals his true colors with murdering Merukimon, mocking the latter's hope for peace between humans and Digimon [[KickTheDog among his grieving loved ones]]. Along this, he hires three criminals and turns them into "[[HalfHumanHybrid Bio-Hybrids]]" to help him with his plan to continue his murder spree, using the deceased's data to resurrect Belphemon. He also kidnap's Thomas's little sister, promising to "[[IllGirl cure]]" her by making her another Bio-Hybrid while [[WouldHurtAChild having a bomb strapped to her]] to make Thomas work for him. In the climax of his plans, he [[FusionDance merges with Belphemon]] and begins making dimensional tears that threaten to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy the world]]. In his last attempt at vengeance, he sets off detonations meant to destroy the Digital World, only to open a hole big enough for the two worlds to collide. His last moments are screaming for help as his own actions cause him to be vaporized. A [[DirtyCoward cowardly]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]] guilty of attempting genocide and world destruction, Kurata may not have been a Digimon, but made up for it by being [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters a cruel, irredeemable excuse of a human]].

* [[KnightOfCerebus Myotismon]] is a sinister, [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampiric Digimon]] with a {{sadist}}ic streak a mile wide. Myotismon [[BadBoss treats his underlings awfully]], having taking Gatomon in when she was young and abusing her until she was a killing machine. When [[YouHaveFailedMe his henchmen fail him]], he eagerly destroys them. When two harmless minions [[WouldntHurtAChild couldn't bring themselves to harm children]], Myotismon killed them on the spot. When he invaded Tokyo, he proceeded to destroy much of it and held a number of children captive to identify the final child connected with Gatomon. He made it clear if it took too much time, he'd simply [[WouldHurtAChild kill them all]]. Myotismon also proceeded to attack multiple young women and drain their blood, causing an epidemic through Tokyo. Any minions he hadn't already killed were cannibalized to fuel his [[OneWingedAngel Mega transformation]]. When he was thought destroyed, Myotismon's spirit survived to return as the final villain of [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 the next season]] as [[BigBad MaloMyotismon]]. Using a man named Oikawa's sadness and despair to make him a pawn, he proceeded to consume him from within and upon manifesting anew, Myotismon repaid his perfectly loyal ally [[spoiler:Arukenimon]] by [[ColdBloodedTorture sadistically torturing her to death]] and killing [[spoiler:Mummymon]] when he tried to avenge her. With a near-unparalleled {{sadist}}ic streak, Myotismon proved he was one of the vilest monsters in the franchise.
* [[RoboticPsychopath Machinedramon]] is a cold, calculating {{sadist}} whose every line clearly shows how much he loves killing people, and according to Piedmon, he lives only to destroy. He lent his machine army to Piedmon for his slaughter of the digital guardians in their castle when he went to steal the tags and crests, as well as wiping out the Geckomon kingdom, leaving only three survivors. When the Digi Destined are in his territory, he rigs the city with death traps in attempts to kill them, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kills his own henchmen when he deems them no longer useful]], and massacres an entire hoard of Numemon when they attempt to protect Kari from him. The most chilling line he has in the entire show is telling Kari, a little girl and one of the youngest Digidestined, that [[WouldHurtAChild he is going to kill her]] in the most painful way he possibly can. Despite being apparently destroyed by [=WarGreymon=], the Wanderswan Games reveal that he survives and becomes Milleniummon, going on to rip Digiworld in half, [[TakenForGranite turn Tai and Agumon to stone]], and after being destroyed, a portion of his data forms a Dark Spore which infects Ken and leads him to become the Digimon Emperor. After being reborn again he invades an alternate Digiworld, digivolves to Zeed Milleniummon, and destroys nearly everything in the new Digiworld, setting himself up as absolute ruler over the ravaged husk.
* [[MonsterClown Piedmon]] is TheLeader and the most powerful of the [[BigBadDuumvirate Dark Masters]], leading them in their conquest of the Digital World. An AxCrazy psychopath, he enjoys toying with his victims before finishing them off, in contrast to his more straightforward associates. Reducing his territory to a [[{{Mordor}} barren wasteland]], he [[BigBrotherIsWatchingYou monitors the actions]] of his fellow Dark Masters and the main cast, allowing his allies to die without ever interfering. He causes the death of Sukamon by restructuring Digiworld into Spiral Mountain, kills Chumon himself, nearly kills [=WarGreymon=], and then transforms most of the Digi Destined and their Digimon into keychains, planning to keep them all [[AndIMustScream trapped as toys forever]], while he hunts the [[WouldHurtAChild two youngest members of the team down, intent on brutally murdering them]].

* [[BiggerBad Lucemon]] is a {{fallen angel}} Digimon with a [[AGodAmI Messiah complex]]. In his own warped, self righteous mind, Lucemon [[KnightTemplar thinks that the Digital World has gone rotten and wants to tear it apart bit by bit]], bringing about the loss of much data and the deaths of countless Digimon, [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans all so he can rebuild it in his image]]. He describes as a utopia where every Digimon that lives is stripped of their free will and free thought with Lucemon as their shepherd. In reality, what he intends to create is a Hell in Digi-world, where all Digimon are slaves [[ItsAllAboutMe and the only one who will be happy is him.]] To do this, he [[TheCorrupter corrupted Cherubimon]] and [[BigBad made him the villain]] for [[UnwittingPawn most of the series]]. He then used his two Royal Knight followers to erase data from the Digital World, and once he was free, he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness disposed of said followers just to power himself up.]] He gets even worse when the Digi-egg containing his darker side turns into Satan Mode, a being filled with nothing but darkness and malice. In this form, he attempts to claim the human world as well. He also uses various methods to [[ColdBloodedTorture torture the good guys]] purely ForTheEvulz. Lucemon was, in the end, completely insane and never thoughtful of the lives of others: only himself, his pride, and his hatred towards the Digital World's existence that was not up to his standards.

* [[GeneralRipper Tactimon]] is the leader of Lord Bagra's armies, and his honor code is based solely on his standards of perfection rather than true honor and decency. Not only is he responsible for rounding up several good Digimon into labor camps, including Cutemon's parents, but he was prepared to [[WouldHurtAChild torture Mikey, a child, to death]], as opposed to the quick, painless execution he could have ordered, and later tries to kill him with a beam cannon blast. As if that wasn't bad enough, he's a full follower of the WeHaveReserves mantra and has no compunctions about sacrificing his own subordinates for the sake of maintaining his supposedly perfect battle record, a practice that disgusted Dorulumon enough to defect from his side. Towards the end, he uses the negative energy of many Digimon in order to turn their data into dark spirits that he absorbs into his sword in order to boost his own power and ends up taking the life of Grademon without an iota of remorse. Once he got out into the real world, he proceeded to lay waste to the entire area in hopes of getting his enemies killed and taking away what they value. Shortly afterwards, he attempts to murder Angie and Jeremy with his bare hands. When it comes time for him to do battle with his enemies, all Tactimon can truly feel is [[BloodKnight pure excitement over the thrill of combat and bloodshed]].

* ''VideoGame/DigimonWorldDataSquad'': [[BigBad Lucemon]] is TheManBehindTheMan for both [[TheHeavy Tsukasa Kagura]] and [[TheDragon Creepymon]]. The king of the Dark Area and the [[UltimateEvil Chao-Mao Digimon]], he's orchestrated everything in the plot by [[spoiler:[[ManipulativeBastard manipulating]] Kagura's feelings of jealousy]] to do whatever it took to revive himself. Through [[spoiler:him]], Lucemon made sure [[PoweredByAForsakenChild five children]] throughout the world were merged with one of the Code Keys of the Seven Deadly Sins to create Mao Digimon, The Great Demon Lords.

When Kagura finally releases the seal on Lucemon, he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness betrays]] Kagura and tells him [[ShootTheShaggyDog how he deceived]] the scientist. After absorbing Kagura, Code of Key of Pride himself, Lucemon flees, but not before spreading the influence of the [[EldritchLocation Dark Area]]. An evil Digimon who deemed himself infinite, immortal, and absolute, Lucemon is a remorseless OmnicidalManiac who desired to engulf everything in the Dark Area.

* The [[DirtyCoward cowardly]], [[FourEyesZeroSoul bespectacled]] [[MadScientist scientist]], [[BigBad Akihiro Kurata]], is the [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters single most despicable human being]] to appear in the franchise. Planning on [[OmnicidalManiac committing genocide on Digimon]] due to nothing more than a petty grudge while conquering the world, Kurata created the Gizumon that would kill Digimon and stop their natural reincarnation cycle, which he first unleashed upon a noble Digimon who had been a surrogate father to the boy Ikuto. Kurata's reaction to Ikuto sobbing over his father's loss was cruel, hysterical laughter. Kurata then created a weapon to kill thousands of Digimon in a single blast and blackmailed one of the humans into working for him by threatening to murder his [[IllGirl sick sister]], before experimenting on said sister. Kurata's hatred extended to awakening a monstrous demon and attempting to merge with it to obliterate everything he saw as an enemy.

He's eventually revealed to be TheManBehindTheMan to every major villain in the show, from [[StarterVillain Devimon]] through fellow CompleteMonster Myotismon, and their actions and those of the other Dark Masters can all be laid at his pointy-shoed feet.

* [[GeneralRipper Tactimon]] is the one leader of [[BigBad Lord Bagra's]] armies with no positive or redeeming features about him. Not only is he responsible for rounding up several good Digimon into labor camps, including Cutemon's parents, he was prepared to torture [[WouldHurtAChild Mikey, a child, to death]] instead of the quick, painless execution he could have ordered. As if that wasn't bad enough, he's a full follower of the WeHaveReserves mantra and has no compunctions about sacrificing his own subordinates for the sake of maintaining his supposedly perfect battle record. This practice disgusted his follower Dorulumon enough to make him defect from Tactimon's side. Once he got out into the real world, he proceeded to lay waste to the area in hopes of getting his enemies killed and destroying what they valued. Shortly afterwards, he attempts to murder Mikey, Angie, and Jeremy with his bare hands. When it comes time for him to do battle with his enemies, all he can feel is [[BloodKnight pure excitement over the thrill of combat and bloodshed.]]
* Another example from the same series is [=NeoMyotismon=] ([=NeoVamdemon=]), an {{Expy}} of ''Adventure's'' Myotismon and the second of [=DarkKnightmon’s=] Death Generals. The ruler of the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire Land]], he was characterized by only one thing: an undying thirst for power. He possesses familiar spirits known as Evilvils that seek out the life energy of Digimon and give it to him. Not only does he fuse both his minions and his enemies into himself, but he absorbs a great number of innocent Lopmon living in his domain in order to gain immortality from their hidden power. During his battle with the Fusion Fighters, he attempts to absorb Christopher's partner, Metal Greymon, into himself as well, forcing Metal Greymon into an AndIMustScream BodyHorror situation.
* The other particularly heinous Death General is Gravimon, ruler of the Canyon Land. He uses his own core as a way to take Christopher hostage, and then reveals himself as a {{sadist}} who uses his cables to torture Christopher and probe his mind. He revels in MindRape, mercilessly playing off Christopher's psyche until Christopher becomes broken enough to join him and obey his wishes. This set in motion the events that resulted in, among other things, the tragic death of Deckerdramon.
