* ''[[Anime/SmilePrecure Glitter Force]]'' [[note]]also known as ''Smile [=PreCure=]!'' or ''Smile Pretty Cure!''[[/note]]: [[ForTheEvulz Rascal]], appropriately named [[VillainousHarlequin Joker]] in the original version, is the main henchman to Emperor Nogo, but acts as the [[DragonInChief primary villain]]. Rascal's goal is to bring the world to a Bad End, an eternal state of despair, and revels in [[HopeCrusher breaking people's hopes and dreams]]. Rascal's first major act is to kidnap Candy for something he thinks she has, and shortly afterwards he thrashes the Pretty Cure and takes their despair energy for Nogo's revival. In the past, Rascal has manipulated Ulric's, Brute's, and Brooha's rejection in the picture books to become his Bad End Generals; he later sends them to die in a stalling tactic. Throughout the series, Rascal tries to find the Miracle Jewel, which is said to grant wishes. When it turns out to be Candy, he tries to kill her, revealing that he just wants to destroy it to deprive them of hope. Then, Rascal sends the world into a state of despair, turning it into a wasteland. Even as he's dying, [[LaughingMad Rascal is laughing at the prospect of Nogo's revival destroying the world]].

* [[NotSoHarmlessVillain Gohyan]][[note]]Also spelled Gohyaan and Gooyan[[/note]] initially just seems to be Akudaikahn's sly right-hand man that his other minions pick on. He starts to show his true colors when he takes Michiru and Kaoru back to Dark Fall while they're making their HeelFaceTurn, where they're seemingly killed. Gohyan later captures and tortures Flappy and Choppy for information. When the Pretty Cure defeat Akudaikahn, Gohyaan kills him and [[TheManBehindTheMan reveals he created Akudaikahn and Dark Fall]] to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy Earth and the Land of Fountains]], before turning the Earth into a wasteland. [[TimeAbyss Gohyan]] does all of this because he remembers the universe before it had any life and wants to return it to the silence it once was.

* Season 1: [[SoftSpokenSadist Kawarino]] works for Despariah, but he ends up being much worse than she is. Kawarino enjoys [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating people]] and [[HopeCrusher crushing their dreams]] just because he can. The Nightmare organization may never have been a nice place, but Bloody, Kawarino's former superior, notes that Nightmare at least had teamwork before he took charge. Kawarino claims to be working for Despariah's immortality, but this seems to be just an excuse to spread despair. Kawarino {{Mind Rape}}s the Pretty Cure with his despair masks to turn them into Nightmare's slaves. Kawarino then starts giving his minions the black mask, which gives them a [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity power-up at the cost of their minds]]. When Hadenya and Bloody refuse to wear it, he shoves it on them anyway. Kawarino blasts Bunbee off a building when he tries to leave Nightmare. It's revealed that Kawarino was the one who tricked Nuts into opening the gates to the Palmier Kingdom, meaning he was responsible for its destruction and all its citizens becoming brainwashed employees of Nightmare.
* ''Yes! Precure 5 GO!GO!'': [[TheCollector The Director of Eternal]] collects treasures and valuables from all the worlds, [[{{Greed}} keeping everything of value for himself only]]. His collection includes various living creatures frozen in stasis, precious objects stolen from people, and anything else he finds valuable. In particular, the Director wishes to acquire Flora from the Cure Rose Garden for her beauty. To the Director, anything that holds no value--[[ItsAllAboutMe and only he gets to decide what has value]]--must be destroyed, including humanity, friendship, love, and life itself. When the Director goes to Earth, he levels the Pretty Cure's school because he sees it as worthless. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness He kills two loyal minions, one of whom loves him, when he sees no more use for them]]. Upon arriving at the Cure Rose Garden, [[PersonOfMassDestruction the Director]] starts to turn it into a wasteland, which severely damages Earth, the Palmier Kingdom, and the other kingdoms in the process. Flora tries to help him see the infinite possibilities of life with a flower seed, but he considers them worthless and continues his rampage until he is defeated.

* [[MultiversalConqueror Lord Moebius]], the absolute ruler of Labyrinth, wishes to expand his rule and control all the parallel worlds in existence. The people that live under his rule are forced to comply with his every order or risk death due to him directly controlling their lifespans. [[CrapsackWorld Labyrinth]] is a place where free will is not allowed, and happiness does not exist. Moebius sends his most loyal subjects to attack Earth and create sorrow among the populace in order to find the power he needs to control the worlds. [[BadBoss Not even those subjects]] are safe from him. Eas tortures herself nearly to death to defeat Pretty Cure by his command, and [[YouHaveFailedMe when she fails]], Moebius ends her lifespan almost immediately. Later, Moebius [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness tries to kill Westar and Soular]] in an attempt to get rid of a couple Cures slightly faster, even though they had been nothing but loyal to him the whole time. When he gains the necessary power, Moebius takes control of all the worlds and turns the people into his mindless slaves. Eventually, it's revealed that Moebius was an [[AIIsACrapshoot A.I.]] created to take care of the people of Labyrinth, before he decided [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters they would be better off under his complete command]], arrogantly believing that they would live more worthwhile lives with their souls controlled by him. Once defeated, Moebius is asked what makes him happy. He answers that he regrets not being able to control Pretty Cure and [[TakingYouWithMe blows himself up in an attempt to kill them]].
* [[TheDreaded Northa]] is Moebius's cruelest minion. First introduced summoning one of Labyrinth's EliteMooks to fuse with a Nakewameke and fight the Cures, Northa eventually traps an innocent woman, the mother of Cure Love, in a mirror, before replacing her with a double loyal to Labyrinth which is eventually found out. Northa then captures Setsuna, gives a [[BreakingSpeech soul-crushing speech]], and almost brainwashes her back into Eas. Northa then {{Mind Rape}}s the Cures with illusions of their greatest fears regarding the people around them. When they break free, Northa uses a combination of Mind Rape and Hallucination Mist to make them try and kill each other. When this is thwarted, Northa tries to trap them in Labyrinth. Eventually, Northa successfully captures Infinity, bringing Moebius to a NearVillainVictory, before fusing with Klein to fight the Cures.

* [[{{Plaguemaster}} King Byo-gen]] is the [[EvilOverlord leader]] of the Byo-gens, a group of beings who seek to [[OmnicidalManiac make Earth devoid of life]]. Before the events of the series, King Byo-gen would [[ForcedToWatch force to watch]] as he [[TakenForGranite turned her Cure Partner to stone]]. When she destroys his body, he manages to taint her victory over him by infecting the Healing Garden with diseases. In the present, King Byo-gen sends his minions to spread dark energy and diseases in order to get his body back faster. He verbally tortures the Healing Animals, and when Guaiwaru tries to usurp him after it appears he has been killed, King Byo-gen waits until the former grows strong enough to rapidly accelerate the process of getting his body back and then [[TheAssimilator absorbs him]], revealing that he had anticipated Guaiwaru's attempt and was counting on it. King Byo-gen later [[DevourTheDragon absorbs Daruizen]] and becomes [[OneWingedAngel Neo King Byo-gen]], who proceeds to psychologically torture Cure Grace, easily defeat the Pretty Cures, reveal that he created the other Byo-gens, and knock most people on Earth unconscious with his plagues. He would then decide to absorb the Pretty Cures and the Healing Animals, and when they break free from his body stronger than ever, he tries one last push to end all life on Earth before being killed.
* [[{{Sadist}} Daruizen]] is the second highest ranking member of the Byo-gens behind King Byo-gen himself. Many years ago, [[WouldHurtAChild Daruizen]] fed off of Nodoka's life force and health as a parasite, ruining her childhood all to grow stronger. When Daruizen returns in the show, he mocks Nodoka, who was unaware of that fact, about it to her face after making her relapse into her sickness with a Mega Part. When he creates Megabyogens and Gigabyogens, Daruizen sadistically makes sure the lifeforms he transforms into them are in as much pain as possible, to the point where some of them scream, [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming which he delights in]]. Daruizen also creates Megabyogens and Gigabyogens for the sole purpose of murdering people faster, and creates another Byo-gen general, Batetemoda, who he doesn't care about in the slightest, in one of his schemes. When the King decides it is time to absorb Daruizen, he begs Nodoka for help, and loses it when she refuses and tries to force himself into her body, causing her to run away. When Nodoka asks if he'd quit being evil if she allowed him to go into her body again during the final confrontation between him and the Pretty Cures, [[RedemptionRejection he admits that he wouldn't and tries to kill them]].

* [[BattleButler Butler]] is [[NotSoHarmlessVillain the assistant to the Witch of Delays]] who strictly orders his subordinates to steal motivation from the surface world to fuel the Fool's Casket, a device capable of [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt draining everyone's life on Earth]], to give the Witch immortality. Butler falsely promises his subordinates immortality through this, and when Chongire finds out and protests, Butler turns him into a Yaraneeda against his will. Butler desperately doesn't want the Witch to remember her past with Aunete/Cure Oasis, [[OmnicidalManiac only wanting her to end all life]], either with the Fool's Casket or as the Witch of Destruction. When the Witch makes peace with Cure Oasis's spirit and vanishes, Butler turns himself into a Yaraneeda to inherit the Witch's abandoned wish to destroy the world, drains the motivation of his subordinates, and attempts to do the same with the Pretty Cure. After losing, Butler [[TakingYouWithMe offers his motivation to finish filling the Fool's Casket]], knowing billions would die.
