History Monster / FullmetalAlchemist

** There's [[SociopathicSoldier Solf J. Kimblee]], [[GoodLookingPrivates who]] is [[AxeCrazy extremely]] [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming monstrous]] (although at times he verges on EvenEvilHasStandards).

** TheBigBad, [[spoiler: Dante]], is an obvious one. She manipulates and abuses her homunculi servants or sends them to their deaths if they don't do exactly what she wants. Their desire to become human leads them to question if she really intends to make them human (she doesn't), and she can't have that. She plots the destruction of an entire nation in the hopes that it will convince someone to create a Philosopher's Stone, which she can then steal in order to live a few years longer (when she's already ReallySevenHundredYearsOld). And that's on top of already being a [[BodySnatcher bodyjacking]] bitch who plans to hijack the body of Rose, who ''already'' went through serious BreakTheCutie, including [[spoiler: RapeAsDrama and TeenPregnancy]], so that she can use her body to seduce Ed. Who is 16. And her ex-boyfriend's son. [[NoYay Ewww...]]
** Then there's TheBigBad's CoDragons, [[PresidentEvil Pride]], who willingly oversees the destruction of his own nation and [[OffingTheOffspring strangles his own son to death]], and [[JerkAss Envy]], a ShapeShifting [[TheSociopath psychopath]] whose FreudianExcuse (ParentalAbandonment [[spoiler:from his mom Dante and her ex]]) doesn't even come close to making his raging sadism, brutality and contempt tolerable; he gets his jollies out of murder, [[MoralEventHorizon kills]] [[ShooOutTheClowns the comic relief]] [[ShapeshifterGuiltTrip while in the form of his wife]], and elevates KickTheDog to an art form, before finally [[spoiler:[[HeroKiller killing Ed]] in the finale]].
** Last but not least we have two characters who are very different from their original incarnations: [[AxeCrazy Solf J. Kimblee]], who is much less redeemable, in this version being a MadBomber NietzscheWannabe PsychoForHire and MisanthropeSupreme who just likes killing people ForTheEvulz, and [[SerialKiller Barry the Chopper]], whose sadism is played completely seriously in this incarnation (unlike the LaughablyEvil version in the manga), and is absolutely HighOctaneNightmareFuel-inducing.

* The first ''[[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' anime has seven surefire examples:
** Mugear wanted to introduce a toxic chemical into pregnant women to produce an alchemical amplifier. Before that, he had no problems producing said amplifier at the cost of the villagers health. He also murdered Nash Tringham, the inventor of the method, after he refused to use the method or continue the research on it due to the health risks for the people of his village and tried to sabotage its use by Mugear.
** Brigadier General Basque Grand is a sadistic GeneralRipper and one of the key players in the Ishbalan massacre, who laughed maniacally as he gunned scores of civilians down with his Philosopher's Stone, authorizing its use in order to turn the massacre into ''a massacre''. Grand forced Roy Mustang to kill Winry's parents because they were treating Ishabalan patients, even though they were also treating Amestrian soldiers. When he discovers what Shou Tucker has done to his daughter, he decides to cart her away for study, presumably so he could bully Tucker into making more chimeras lest he lose his State Alchemist license. When Scar blows his brains out, it is [[AssholeVictim very, very satisfying]].
** TheBigBad, [[spoiler: Dante]], is an obvious one. She manipulates and abuses her homunculi servants or sends them to their deaths if they don't do exactly what she wants. Their desire to become human leads them to question if she really intends to make them human (she doesn't), and she can't have that. She plots the destruction of an entire nation in the hopes that it will convince someone to create a Philosopher's Stone, which she can then steal in order to live a few years longer (when she's already ReallySevenHundredYearsOld). And that's on top of already being a [[BodySnatcher bodyjacking]] bitch who plans to hijack the body of Rose, who ''already'' went through serious BreakTheCutie, including [[spoiler: RapeAsDrama and TeenPregnancy]], so that she can use her body to seduce Ed. Who is 16. And her ex-boyfriend's son. [[NoYay Ewww...]]
** Then there's TheBigBad's CoDragons, [[PresidentEvil Pride]], who willingly oversees the destruction of his own nation and [[OffingTheOffspring strangles his own son to death]], and [[JerkAss Envy]], a ShapeShifting [[TheSociopath psychopath]] whose FreudianExcuse (ParentalAbandonment [[spoiler:from his mom Dante and her ex]]) doesn't even come close to making his raging sadism, brutality and contempt tolerable; he gets his jollies out of murder, [[MoralEventHorizon kills]] [[ShooOutTheClowns the comic relief]] [[ShapeshifterGuiltTrip while in the form of his wife]], and elevates KickTheDog to an art form, before finally [[spoiler:[[HeroKiller killing Ed]] in the finale]].
** Last but not least we have [[AxeCrazy Solf J. Kimblee]], a MadBomber NietzscheWannabe PsychoForHire and MisanthropeSupreme who just likes killing people ForTheEvulz, and [[SerialKiller Barry the Chopper]], whose sadism is played completely seriously in this incarnation (unlike the LaughablyEvil version in the manga), and is absolutely HighOctaneNightmareFuel-inducing.


* The manga and second anime series, ''Brotherhood'', has its own set of monsters:

** There's their [[ThePhilosopher version]] of [[SociopathicSoldier Solf J. Kimblee]], [[GoodLookingPrivates who]] [[BadassInANiceSuit while]] [[TheSocialDarwinist quite]] [[BloodKnight different]], is [[NeutralEvil still]] [[AxeCrazy extremely]] [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming monstrous]] (although at times he verges on EvenEvilHasStandards).
** The unnamed, and utterly heinous Dr. Goldtooth, [[spoiler: damn near kills Riza by slitting her throat to force Roy cross the Gate]], spends every second onscreen crossing the MoralEventHorizon and otherwise is essentially Tucker 2.0.

*** Even after he's died, it gets even worse. Later on, it turns out that what he did was totally and completely '''pointless''' because the military already had much better chimeras. Imagine straight up humans who can harness the instincts of a specific animal and even turn into that animal temporarily in order to fight better, like [[SpiderMan the Lizard]] with none of the SupoweredEvilSide effects. Compare that to the paralyzed husks of pain that became the Tucker family.

''Full Metal Alchemist'' has many evil villains, but a few [[Monster/AnimeAndManga stand out]] as [[CompleteMonster particularly horrible]].

** Last but not least we have [[AxeCrazy Zolf J. Kimbley]], a MadBomber NietzscheWannabe PsychoForHire and MisanthropeSupreme who just likes killing people ForTheEvulz, and [[SerialKiller Barry the Chopper]], whose sadism is played completely seriously in this incarnation (unlike the LaughablyEvil version in the manga), and is absolutely HighOctaneNightmareFuel-inducing.

** There's Shou Tucker, a MadScientist who transforms his own daughter into a HalfHumanHybrid, partly to see if he can and partly to retain his State Alchemist status. He had previously done the same thing to his wife. He's the only character who even comes close to triggering [[NiceGuy Al]]'s BerserkButton.
*** Just to put things in perspective: of all the characters who died in the story (shortly after Tucker's arrest, AntiHero Scar breaks into his house and [[KickTheSonOfABitch bloodily murders him]]), he's the only one who was sent to Hell in the "In Memoriam" omakes. The authoress Hiromu Arakawa allowed even characters like Envy or Kimbley to get to Heaven, because she thought there was still something worth saving about them. With Shou Tucker, she was absolutely merciless, and with good reason.

** There's their [[ThePhilosopher version]] of [[SociopathicSoldier Zolf J. Kimbley]], [[GoodLookingPrivates who]] [[BadassInANiceSuit while]] [[TheSocialDarwinist quite]] [[BloodKnight different]], is [[NeutralEvil still]] [[AxeCrazy extremely]] [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming monstrous]] (although at times he verges on EvenEvilHasStandards).

** The unnamed, and utterly heinous Dr. Goldtooth, [[spoiler: damn near kills Riza by slitting her throat to force Roy cross the Gate]], spends every second onscreen crossing the MoralEventHorizon and otherwise is essentially Tucker 2.0.
** Finally, there's General Raven. A completely selfish and amoral GeneralRipper who's in on the GovernmentConspiracy, Raven has no problem with sacrificing all of his men, and the rest of the country, if it means immortality for himself. The only thing that might keep him out of here is the fact that he's being played for a sap, and even then his creepy, lecherous persona, betrayal of Mustang, and attempts at putting the moves on Olivier makes him far more unsympathetic than even the other, largely unnamed, members of Central Command. His quick death is merciful for the reader (though less so for Raven).

** TheBigBad, [[spoiler: Dante]], is an obvious one. She manipulates and abuses her homunculi servants or sends them to their deaths if they don't do exactly what she wants. Their desire to become human leads them to question if she really intends to make them human (she doesn't), and she can't have that. She plots the destruction of an entire nation in the hopes that it will convince someone to create a Philosopher's Stone, which she can then steal in order to live a few years longer (when she's already ReallySevenHundredYearsOld). And that's on top of already being a [[BodySnatcher bodyjacking]] bitch who plans to hijack the body of Rose, who ''already'' went through serious BreakTheCutie, including [[spoiler: RapeAsDrama and TeenPregnancy]]).
** Then there's TheBigBad's CoDragons, [[PresidentEvil Pride]], who willingly oversees the destruction of his own nation and [[OffingTheOffspring strangles his own son to death]], and [[JerkAss Envy]], a ShapeShifting [[TheSociopath psychopath]] whose FreudianExcuse (ParentalAbandonment [[spoiler: from his mom Dante and her ex]]) doesn't even come close to making his raging sadism, brutality and contempt tolerable; he gets his jollies out of murder, [[MoralEventHorizon kills]] [[ShooOutTheClowns the comic relief]] [[ShapeshifterGuiltTrip while in the form of his wife]], and elevates KickTheDog to an art form, before finally [[spoiler:[[HeroKiller killing Ed]] in the finale]].

** Brigadier General Basque Grand is a sadistic GeneralRipper and one of the key players in the Ishbalan massacre, who laughed maniacally as he gunned scores of civilians down with his Philosopher's Stone, authorizing their use in order to turn the massacre in ''a massacre''. In this version Winry's parents are killed by Roy Mustang, but only because Grand forced him to, because they were treating Ishabalan patients even though they were also treating Amestrian soldiers. When he discovers what Shou Tucker had done to his daughter, he decided to cart her away for study, presumably so could he bully Tucker into making more chimeras lest he lose his State Alchemist license. When Scar blows his brains out, it is [[AssholeVictim very, very satisfying]].

* The first ''[[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' anime has seven surefire examples.

** Brigadier General Basque Grand in the manga is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, AFatherToHisMen and a JerkWithAHeartOfGold; in the anime, though, he is a sadistic GeneralRipper and one of the key players in the Ishvalan massacre, who laughed maniacally as he gunned scores of civilians down with his Philosophers Stone, authorising their use in order to turn the massacre in ''a massacre''. In this version Winry's parents are killed by Roy Mustang, but only because Grand forced him to, because they were treating Ishavalan patients even though they were also treating Amestrian soldiers. When he discovers what Shou Tucker has done to his daughter, he decided to cart her away for study, presumably so he could make more as he bullied Tucker into making more chimeras lest he lost his State Alchemist licence (didn't know how he did it; did care once he learnt). When Scar blows his brains out, it is [[AssholeVictim very, very satisfying]].
** TheBigBad, [[spoiler: Dante]] is an obvious one. She manipulates and abuses her Homunculi servants, sends them to their death, has their limbs torn off, or lobotomizes them if they don't do exactly what she wants because their desire to become human leads them to question if she really intends to make them human (she doesn't) or they reach the DespairEventHorizon because someone they were very close to just died, and doesn't even bat an eye when they die. She's plotting the destruction of an entire nation in the hopes that it will convince someone to create a Philosopher's Stone, which she can then steal in order to live a few years longer, when she's already ReallySevenHundredYearsOld. She goes out of her way to BreakTheCutie wherever and whenever possible. And that's on top of already being a [[BodySnatcher bodyjacking]] bitch who plans to hijack the body of one of the hero's friends and possible {{Love Interest}}s (a sweet girl who ''already'' went through serious BreakTheCutie, including [[spoiler: RapeAsDrama and TeenPregnancy]]) in order to cause some serious NoYay and take the guy as her lover. Said hero is her ex's 16 year old son.

** Finally, we have [[AxeCrazy Solf J. Kimblee]] a MadBomber NietzscheWannabe PsychoForHire and MisanthropeSupreme who just likes hurting people ForTheEvulz, and [[SerialKiller Barry the Chopper]], whose sadism is played completely seriously in this incarnation (unlike the LaughablyEvil version in the manga), and is absolutely HighOctaneNightmareFuel-inducing.
** Oh, yeah. And how could we forget [[GeneralRipper General Hakuro]]? He detained Rose, and his men [[RapeAsDrama actually raped her]]. From the way he approached and acted towards her while she was protecting the schoolchildren, it would seem to be implied that on top of his men doing it with his consent, ''he raped her himself, too''. Does he get his comeuppance? [[KarmaHoudini Not that we've seen]], although it's quite likely that after Amestris's old government fell, you would be sure he would be hunted down, so although it's just WildMassGuessing, he probably has been arrested or killed, but we never get to hear if this was the case as he was such a barely-seen character.

** TheBigBad Father, is often seen as one, [[spoiler: sacrificing entire nations to achieve AGodAmI status, but [[EldritchAbomination is so alien]] that it's hard to tell.]]
*** [[spoiler: The alienness of Father seems to stem from the fact that it surrendered its "sins" to sacrifice its human-like qualities and create the Homunculli. When it destroyed Xerses it had much more of a personality...and that was the personality of a sadistic monster, smiling maniacally all the time '''especially''' when the country was being destroyed and Father temporarily AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence.]]
** There's their [[ThePhilosopher version]] of [[SociopathicSoldier Solf J. Kimblee]], [[GoodLookingPrivates who]] [[BadassInANiceSuit while]] [[TheSocialDarwinist quite]] [[BloodKnight different]], is [[NeutralEvil still]] [[AxeCrazy extremely]] [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming monstrous]] (although at times he verges on EvenEvilHasStandards).

** And General Raven, of course. A completely selfish and amoral GeneralRipper who's in on the GovernmentConspiracy.
** Manga [[TheDragon Pride]] and [[ShapeShifter Envy]] skirt ''very'' close to this trope, but are ultimately saved from it. In [[EnfanteTerrible Pride]]'s case this is due to his genuine love for his mother, and BigBrotherMentor relationship with Wrath. In Envy's case, it's largely because of how fundamentally ''pathetic'' it is underneath, ruining people's lives because it can't have one, a point driven home by its [[spoiler: suicide]]. Manga [[SerialKiller Barry]] is PlayedForLaughs and thus [[LaughablyEvil exempt]].

** The Senior Staff. They want nothing less than [[spoiler: the deaths of everyone in the country but them]] as long as it means they get to supposedly [[spoiler: live forever]].
