* [[Literature/SheWhoBecameTheSun Radiant]] Emperor [[Literature/HeWhoDrownedTheWorld Duology]], by Shelley Parker-Chan: [[ShadowArchetype Chen Youliang]] is Zhu Chongba's [[ArchEnemy most dangerous and personal nemesis]]. Plotting alongside Zhu and weaving through the deadly decadence of their faction's courts, Chen thinks nothing of ensuring his rivals' deaths and even going so far as to see one [[FlayingAlive skinned alive]] before their peers while he smiles. After seemingly dying after Zhu betrays him, Chen forms a power base to fight Zhu's own and sends a message to Zhu by [[BadBoss severing many of his own soldiers' arms]]. After this, Chen proceeds to mutilate bodies and dump them under the ocean water to make a barrier of [[AndIMustScream agonized, trapped souls]] that will horrifically kill anyone who crosses it. When Zhu finally confronts him, Chen murders her best friend and honorary brother Xu Da and [[MockingTheMourner mocks her about it]], still devoted to claiming power for himself [[TheUnfettered at any cost]] and tormenting anyone who would dare to oppose him.

Taming the Rozacdyl--a life-draining [[BotanicalAbomination plant-like Diablo]]--with his telepathy, Varukan takes on human form and seduces several partygoers, slaughtering them while revelling in their fear and pain.

A hedonistic sadist, Varukan cares for no one other than himself, revels in his victims' suffering, and sneers that emotions like love and compassion are for the weak.

*** Cizin is a malicious [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting]] extraterrestrial with godlike supernatural powers. Upon arriving on Earth, Cizin [[DividedDeity split into]] the death-gods Hunhau and Uacmitun Ahau, the former devouring the life-force of countless victims to fuel his [[{{Hellfire}} dark flames]]. Attempting to usurp control of the Mesoamerican pantheon, Hunhau and Uacmitun Ahau were cast down to the human world and claimed it as their domain, terrorizing the Maya people by preying on travelling merchants and clashing with the alien mech Ya'axkan[=/=]Draco Azul. Centuries later, the AI Ekchuah pitted Draco Azul's new pilot Eric Martinez against a virtual recreation of Hunhau, Uacmitun Ahau, and Cizin based on his memories of them--highlighting the dark god's nature as an arrogant and bloodthirsty would-be tyrant who revels in his status as a destroyer and gleefully plays mind-games with his enemies in order to undermine them.
*** The FeatheredSerpent--known to the Aztecs as Quetzalcoatl--was a member of a species of shapeshifting extraterrestrial entities with godlike supernatural powers fuelled by absorbing the lifeforce of their worshipers. Arriving on Earth and becoming the TopGod of the Mesoamerican pantheon, the Feathered Serpent cast the death-gods Hunhau and Uacmitun Ahau down to the mortal realm for daring to challenge its authority. Arrogant and cruel, when the alien mecha Ya'axkan and its human pilots began defending humanity from the tyranny of the gods, the Feathered Serpent--enraged--challenged Ya'axkan to a duel and summoned a hurricane that laid waste to the city of Teotihuacan--its own seat of worship. Mercilessly killing countless innocent men, women, children, and elders out of spite, contempt, and to drive home how powerless mortals were against the gods, the Feathered Serpent was defeated at great cost to Ya'axkan--leading to the mecha going dormant for 800 years.
