History SatanicArchetype / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hilda}}'''s GrandFinale gives us the Fairy Entity. [[spoiler:Unlike other fairies in the show that resemble ordinary humans, the Entity is a towering spirit in a night sky-like cloak with a glowing circle for face and a creepy, eerie voice that can change into the VoiceOfLegion. It acts as the ruler (or even the embodiment) of the [[CrapsaccharineWorld Fairy Country]], where majority of the fairies were abducted as humans from the Human World in the past, while all other magical creatures were droven away. The most definite trait is the Entity's love to make a rather [[SadisticChoice sadistic]] [[DealWithTheDevil bargains]] for lifes even when they don't benefit, being too stubborn to let go of its GoodOldWays

** The leader of the Angelic Exorcists Adam also fits the bill pretty well. Besides his large horns giving him a BigRedDevil appearance, he fills a similar role of the Satans in Hebrew mythology, being divinely ordained to punish the wicked. He also has a lucerferian bent, while he isn't a FallenAngel he has extreme pride and even demands to be worshipped.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' brings us [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicLordTirek Lord Tirek]]. According to the backstory he came to Equestria to conquer it and steal the magic of every pony (in this land, ponies are responsible for the cycles of the sun and moon and creating the weather, so he would control the forces of nature through this). This includes the [[WingedUnicorn alicorns]], the closest thing to deities in this setting. Defeated and sealed in Tartarus, the show's equivalent of Hell, he broke free to become the villain of Season 4, picking up his plan where he left off originally. He also tricks Discord into making a deal with him for power, [[spoiler:then screws him over on it]], cementing the similarities. What really sells the comparison, though, is [[http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140512103001/villains/images/d/db/Tirek_by_vector_brony-d7hvbg0_%281%29.png his appearance]] -- [[BigRedDevil he even has cloven hooves, horns and red skin]]!

** Before either of them, there was [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicKingSombra King Sombra]] in the two-parter "The Crystal Empire". His initial takeover of the Crystal Empire (stated to be Equestria's CosmicKeystone kingdom) was similar to Lucifer's first rebellion in {{Heaven}} from ''Literature/ParadiseLost''; his subsequent exile (to be sealed underground in ice) reflected the deepest part of {{Hell}} from ''Literature/TheDivineComedy''; his TakingYouWithMe curse upon the Empire reflected Lucifer/Satan's RevengeByProxy introduction of sin among humanity, and his fearful and depressing PresentAbsence over the Crystal Ponies was similar to how Satan is described as "prowl{ing} about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour", both examples being in ''Literature/TheBible''.

* Bill Cipher from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. For starters, there is the Cipher part of his name, which is obviously connected to the algorithm of encryption, but also to LouisCypher. He also uses a lot of common tropes associated with Satan and devils, including DealWithTheDevil, DemonicPossession, VoiceOfTheLegion, and is even outright called a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent "demon"]]. His association with {{light|IsNotGood}} connects him directly to Lucifer, and the "Eye of Providence" symbol that he is based on is connected to God and His angels, who often are described manifesting as strange, geometric shapes (including a whole choir called Wheels). On top of all that, the actual Stanford Pines mentions in his backstory that a friend of his referred to a "beast with one eye" when he accidentally peeked into an Alternate Universe.

* [[EnfantTerrible Mandy]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' fits this trope to a T. In fact, there's even a theory that suggests the fact she is really a spawn of Satan and/or even a reincarnation of Satan's only child, '''TheAntiChrist''', given the fact she wears one pair of horns as a literally hair, befitting her demonic personality, drawn by being more cruel and sociopathic than Grim himself. Further cementing the incredibly Satanic elements of her character, aside from her aforementioned demonic personality, is that she's an [[TheChessmaster exceptional]] [[ManipulativeBitch manipulator]], plans to take over the world [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans just to turn it into a living hellhole]] out of [[ForTheEvulz pure will]], [[TheCorrupter corrupts]] people by tempting them, has a [[SuperStrength rather inhuman strength]] and WhenSheSmiles, [[RealityBreakingParadox she causes reality itself to break apart]], heavily implying her to be a RealityWarper. Not to mention is her personality embodying the SevenDeadlySins very accurately, the whole nature of her actions pulling off a NothingIsScarier feel to them, her [[VoiceOfTheLegion demonic voice]] whenever she gets angry, and as the [[NightmareFuel nightmarish]] cherry on top of the [[FireAndBrimstoneHell hellish icing]] of this cake belonging to the darkest and deepest depths of [[CirclesOfHell the Nine Circles of Hell]] of ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'', is her [[OneWingedAngel demonic form]] that greatly resembles any monster from the Franchise/CthulhuMythos. There's a very good reason TheGrimReaper (you know, the very personification of Death itself) is [[HorrifyingTheHorror absolutely scared shitless]] by this little girl after all.

** Although [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] exists in the setting (he's the main character's father), it's [[Characters/HazbinHotelAlastor Alastor the Radio Demon]] who fills this role for story purposes, as a stylish, red-clad dealmaker with unbelievable power over the physical and political landscape of Hell.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': [[Characters/AmphibiaTheCore The Core]], the true BigBad of the series. It's a monstrous being which dwells "below" in a dark basement, is essentially imprisoned by the borders of another world which it holds domain over, and seeks to escape from its confinement to reach the Earth with a legion of inhuman minions at its beck and call, so that it can conquer and ruin our world as we know it and then the whole of creation. The Core usually has a RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver appearance, yet its assimilee-populated inner mindscape contrasts this image with a grand and LightIsNotGood aesthetic, bringing to mind Satan's origins as a bright angel. It prefers to use trickery and deceit over a direct confrontation with the heroes in order to get its own way with them, and in Marcy's case it tries to tempt her with superficial gifts into being assimilated (essentially selling her soul and becoming damned). The Core's tentacles carrying the previously-assimilated Aldrich into the darkness after he's finished talking with Andrias in their mindscape gives the impression that he's being dragged off to {{Hell}}. The Core is also responsible for playing TheCorrupter to Andrias to make him the very worst version of himself who then acts as the Core's servant, and the revelation that the position of king and the title's past holders are nothing more than figureheads for the Core's will brings to mind the kings of Revelation whom serve the Beast. The Core's forcible possession of Marcy's body to act as its vessel has [[DemonicPossession demonic]] connotations, often moving in a jerky, almost puppet-like manner and outright ''making her bones pop'' when it first took possession.

* [[Characters/GravityFallsBillCipher Bill Cipher]] from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. For starters, there is the Cipher part of his name, which is obviously connected to the algorithm of encryption, but also to LouisCypher. He also uses a lot of common tropes associated with Satan and devils, including DealWithTheDevil, DemonicPossession, VoiceOfTheLegion, and is even outright called a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent "demon"]]. His association with {{light|IsNotGood}} connects him directly to Lucifer, and the "Eye of Providence" symbol that he is based on is connected to God and His angels, who often are described manifesting as strange, geometric shapes (including a whole choir called Wheels). On top of all that, the actual Stanford Pines mentions in his backstory that a friend of his referred to a "beast with one eye" when he accidentally peeked into an Alternate Universe.

** [[EvilOverlord Fire Lord Ozai]] fits this trope to a T. Aside from his [[BeardofEvil devilish goatee]], tall height, and the fact that he is almost always [[PlayingWithFire is surrounded by fire]], there's the fact that he wants to burn the world clean and build it again [[ThePhoenix from the ashes]] as ''The Phoenix King''. [[AbusiveParents He]] sees nothing wrong in giving his son a permanent [[FacialHorror facial burn]], [[spoiler: banishing his wife]], and twisting [[DaddysLittleVillain his daughter]] into someone almost as insane as he is. He also gained his power through an act of rebellion, murdering his (admittedly also [[EvilOldFolks evil]]) father and seizing the throne that [[TheEvilPrince should have passed]] to his elder brother. Ozai is everything [[MessianicArchetype Aang]] the [[PhysicalGod Avatar]] stands against.

** Although [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] exists in the setting (he's the main character's father), it's [[TheDreaded Alastor the Radio Demon]] who fills this role for story purposes, as a stylish, red-clad dealmaker with unbelievable power over the physical and political landscape of Hell.

* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Although [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] exists in the setting (he's the main character's father), it's [[TheDreaded Alastor the Radio Demon]] who fills this role for story purposes, as a stylish, red-clad dealmaker with unbelievable power over the physical and political landscape of Hell.

* [[BigBad Hawk Moth]] in ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fits this fairly well. He [[TheCorrupter corrupts]] people with his akumas in a way very similar to DemonicPossession. He tempts those he corrupts and grants them power based on emotions [[DealWithTheDevil so they can get him the Miraculous.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' brings us Lord Tirek. According to the backstory he came to Equestria to conquer it and steal the magic of every pony (in this land, ponies are responsible for the cycles of the sun and moon and creating the weather, so he would control the forces of nature through this). This includes the [[WingedUnicorn alicorns]], the closest thing to deities in this setting. Defeated and sealed in Tartarus, the show's equivalent of Hell, he broke free to become the villain of Season 4, picking up his plan where he left off originally. He also tricks Discord into making a deal with him for power, [[spoiler:then screws him over on it]], cementing the similarities. What really sells the comparison, though, is [[http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140512103001/villains/images/d/db/Tirek_by_vector_brony-d7hvbg0_%281%29.png his appearance]] -- [[BigRedDevil he even has cloven hooves, horns and red skin]]!
** The HighSchoolAU movie ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' gives us Sunset Shimmer. She was once a student of Princess Celestia, again, the closest thing to a deity in this setting, but her pride and ambition leads to her being stripped of her position. Towards the end of the movie, she makes plans to send over brainwashed humans into Equestria to take it over. And furthering Satan parallels, when she puts on the Element of Magic crown, she transforms into a red-skinned demon. [[spoiler:Unlike most examples though, she pulls a HeelFaceTurn in the end and truly regrets what she's done, spending much of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks the sequel]] attempting to help against the [[MindControlMusic Dazzlings]] and convincing everyone else that the change is genuine, [[ReformedButRejected which is obviously quite difficult to do]]. [[EarnYourHappyEnding She succeeds though, and even becomes a new student and friend of Twilight Sparkle]], another [[BookEnds alicorn]].]]
** Before either of them, there was King Sombra in the two-parter "The Crystal Empire". His initial takeover of the Crystal Empire (stated to be Equestria's CosmicKeystone kingdom) was similar to Lucifer's first rebellion in {{Heaven}} from ''Literature/ParadiseLost''; his subsequent exile (to be sealed underground in ice) reflected the deepest part of {{Hell}} from ''Literature/TheDivineComedy''; his TakingYouWithMe curse upon the Empire reflected Lucifer/Satan's RevengeByProxy introduction of sin among humanity, and his fearful and depressing PresentAbsence over the Crystal Ponies was similar to how Satan is described as "prowl{ing} about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour", both examples being in ''Literature/TheBible''.

* Evil Morty from ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. Evil Morty is a calculating and conniving mastermind, who puts on a facade of charisma and wisdom, but works from the shadows and manipulates everyone around him, willing to kill off anyone who stands in his way. In the end, he secures a position of power purely to kill off all the other Ricks and Mortys in the citadel and escape the Finite Probable Curve. His motivation? The fact that all the versions of Rick have put a gated community around a corner of the multiverse where Rick is the supreme genius and any given Morty is bred to be a loyal servant and tool. Defying Rick is, in this sense, defying the God of the Finite Curve.

* Aku of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''. He's a demon [[EvilOverlord overlord]], who in the future turned the world into a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and lives in a hellish underworld (the Pit of Hate).

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' has Horde Prime. To begin with, Horde Prime talks of bringing light to the universe, which is evocative of Lucifer (whose name means "light bringer"), and he's charismatic, manipulative, and narcissistic. That being said, he can make deals with lesser beings and will grant them certain privileges as long as they are useful to him, but will dispose of them once they're no longer useful. At the end of the day, Horde Prime is ultimately an incredibly selfish and evil being who massacred billions, if not ''trillions'' of lives to bring what he calls peace and order. And how does he commit mass genocide? By setting worlds on ''fire'', another motif associated with the devil.

** A close equivalent of the Devil is [[EnfantTerrible Eric Cartman]]. For starters, Eric is a machiavellian who is motivated by his selfish desires, and makes deals that ultimately only benefit him and screw everyone else involved over. Last but not least, Cartman's personality embodies all the SevenDeadlySins, further enhancing his Satanic qualities.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' gives us Mike's alternate personality Mal. Mal is an evil entity usually surrounded by flames, desires control, and was once sealed away due to his malevolence. He also corrupts Mike and manipulates the other contestants by disguising himself as Mike and makes deals that will screw them over. ExBigBad, Alejandro, even draws Mal as the devil, highlighting his role as such.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' has an alternate counterpart of [[spoiler: Morty. Evil Morty is a calculating and conniving mastermind, who puts on a facade of charisma and wisdom, but works from the shadows and manipulates everyone around him, willing to kill off anyone who stands in his way. In the end, he secures a position of power purely to kill off all the other Ricks and Mortys in the citadel and escape the Finite Probable Curve. His motivation? The fact that all the versions of Rick have put a gated community around a corner of the multiverse where Rick is the supreme genius and any given Morty is bred to be a loyal servant and tool. Defying Rick is, in this sense, defying the God of the Finite Curve.]]
