139* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'':
140** [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Lord]] [[SmugSnake Cutler Beckett]]. Even though he didn't appear until ''Dead Man's Chest'', you can make a pretty good case for Beckett being the big bad of the first trilogy, as he was indirectly responsible for the events of the first movie (branding Jack, initiating the chain of events that made Jack the captain of the Pearl, etc.) despite never appearing or being mentioned, and was pulling everyone's strings in the second, before stepping in as the primary threat of ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At Worlds End]]''.

280** ''VideoGame/DisneyPrincessEnchantedJourney'': [[spoiler:Zara]], who commands the Bogs that have taken over the princess worlds.
281** ''VideoGame/DisneyPrincessMagicalJewels'': The Evil Queen (no relation to the one from ''WesternAnimation/{{Snow White|AndTheSevenDwarfs}}'') is the one who stole the Magical Jewels, leading the Kingdom of Kindness to crumble.
282* ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'':
283** First game: The Shadow Blot, an EldritchAbomination made of paint and thinner accidentally created by Mickey that threatens the Cartoon Wasteland.

286* ''VideoGame/DisneyIllusionIsland'': Grayzar appears to be the main villain, when it is actually [[spoiler:Toku, the leader of the Hokuns]], after it was revealed that [[spoiler:Grayzar is actually BrainwashedAndCrazy through a magic crown.]]

290* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'' has Duke Igthorn, a BlackKnight who regularly plots to obtain the Gummi Bears' SuperStrength-endowing Gummiberry juice, among other ancient Gummi Bear technology, in order to depose the King of Dunwyn.
291* There are two main villains whose overarching schemes [[VillainsActHeroesReact drive the plot]] of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'': [[MagnificentBastard Xanatos]] and [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Demona]]. The former is a conniving genius whose plots [[XanatosGambit always go his way]] as Goliath's clan of gargoyles try to stop him. The latter is a former member of the clan who is out to destroy humanity for their perceived attacks on other gargoyles. As the show progresses, however, [[spoiler:Xanatos]] gets character development leading to a HeelFaceTurn (kind of), leaving [[spoiler:Demona]] the unchallenged Big Bad by the time of the GrandFinale. In [[CanonDiscontinuity Season 3]] [[KnightTemplar Castaway]] and his Quarrymen took on the role, while the (canon) comic continuation has [[spoiler:Thailog]] stepping in to fill the empty shoes of main bad guy.
292* ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'' has the Skeleton King, an undead GalacticConqueror who longs to destroy all life and conquer the entire universe with his army of the dead, "The Formless". He is the sworn enemy to Chiro and his squad, and all the other villains answer to him.
293* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' has [[ANaziByAnyOtherName The Huntsman]], the #4 threat to the magical world who seeks the extermination of Magical Creatures, and has also kidnapped [[LoveInterest Rose]] when she was only a baby and raised her to be a loyal member of the huntsclan. Once he meets his end, the [[GreaterScopeVillain Dark Dragon]] ends up being the FinalBoss of the series.
294* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
295** [[SmallTownTyrant Gideon]] [[EnfantTerrible Gleeful]] is the main villain of Season 1, being Stan's business rival and Dipper and Mabel's most prominent antagonist, who regularly hatched schemes to get control of the Mystery Shack where one of the missing journals is hidden, and aimed to obtain their power to use for his own ends.
296** Come Season 2, Bill Cipher takes up the mantle and becomes the most active threat to the Pines after being revealed to be Season 1's GreaterScopeVillain. He's been monitoring and manipulating the Pines family into granting him a way to merge his home dimension, a nightmare realm full of other demons and abominations, with Earth, so that he can rule both realms and cause Weirdmageddon. He's the one responsible for getting Stanford to build the portal to begin with and the journals were hidden specifically to prevent him from using them. [[spoiler:All of this finally comes to head in the "Weirdmageddon" multi-part finale, where he obtains his physical form and unleashes chaos all across Gravity Falls, serving as the show's FinalBoss.]]
297* ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'': The Sorcerer. Despite being imprisoned, everyone who knows that he exists is genuinely terrified of him, as he turns people in despair into monsters to do his will. When out, he can do this endlessly by just hitting people or objects with his Stank. As an arguable trade-off, just hitting these monsters hard enough will return them to normal.
298* ''WesternAnimation/PennZeroPartTimeHero'': [[PunchClockVillain Rippen]]. His goal is to defeat Penn at least once to become a full-time villain, [[EvilOnlyHasToWinOnce which would in the process disrupt the balance of the multiverse]], and also destroy Penn to wipe out the Zero family line.
299* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'': Lord [[MeaningfulName Hater]] was the show's main villain during Season 1 (albeit a rather ineffectual one); with him regularly trying to conquer the universe, only for Wander to constantly (and often inadvertently) get in his way. Season 2 sees him dethroned by the considerably more competent Lord Dominator, and from there the main plot of the show revolves around both Wander ''and'' Hater trying to prevent her from destroying the galaxy.
300* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'': Initially it's [[TheNapoleon Ludo]], until [[TheStarscream Toffee]] takes his castle and his minions in the penultimate episode of Season 1. In Season 2, Ludo retakes the position after [[TookALevelInBadass taking a level in badass]], [[spoiler: then it turns out Toffee is still around and is still the real threat after all. After Toffee is KilledOffForReal at the beginning of Season 3, it appears Queen Eclipsa is set to take the position...except it's a BaitAndSwitch: the true new BigBad is Miss Heinous, who is revealed to be her half-monster daughter Meteora and, upon discovering that fact, seeks to regain her stolen throne. Season 4 has Mina Loveberry, Star's former idol who threatens the new Monster-Mewman status quo by seeking to overthrow Eclipsa, even enlisting the Magical High Commission's aid in her coup. However, it is revealed that Star's mother, Moon, is the mastermind behind the conspiracy against Eclipsa and Globgor, having recruited both Mina and the Commission to remove them from power, an act that backfires horrifically when Mina betrays her so she can kill every monster in Mewni and all who side with them, cementing her position as the final villain]].
301* [[HeinousHyena Janja]] is the starting antagonist from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'', being the main threat in the pilot movie and being one of the Lion Guard's most persistent adversaries. By the end of "The Rise of Scar", however, Scar [[HijackedByGanon reclaims his position]] as the [[GreaterScopeVillain main villain, but since he's just a spirit]], Janja and Ushari still have to do the heavy lifting.
302* ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'' has [[Characters/TangledZhanTiri Zhan Tiri]], an ancient demon obsessed with the destruction of Corona that was sealed away in another dimension. Acting as the GreaterScopeVillain of the first two seasons, she has several antagonists working under her all throughout who attempt to bring her back and causes the blizzard in "Queen For a Day" that leads to Varian JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope. By Season 3, she takes center stage and manipulates Cassandra into turning against Rapunzel and becoming her [[TheHeavy main enforcer]]. She then spends the entire season creating conflict between Cassandra and Rapunzel that would serve a ritual that'd free her and allow her to regain her true power. [[spoiler: Come the GrandFinale, she successfully takes the power of both the Sundrop and Moonstone to [[OneWingedAngel regain her true form]] and becomes the FinalBoss of the series.]]
303* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017''
304** Season 1 has Magica De Spell, a villainous sorceress with a grudge against clan [=McDuck=] and Scrooge's most personal foe. Having been trapped in Scrooge's Number One Dime during a confrontation years before the start of the series, Magica spends the season forcing Lena to gain the family's trust so she can get close enough to take the Dime; allowing her to escape from it. This culminates in her freeing herself and launching a full scale attack on Duckburg, with the intent of destroying everything Scrooge ever loved.
305** Season 2 has General Lunaris, the fanatical leader of the Moonlanders. Disgusted by his father's fear of Earth, Lunaris spent decades planning an invasion so he may prove that the Moon is superior. After finding Della, Lunaris aids her in repairing the Spear of Selene, allowing her to befriend the Moonlanders and promise to show them Earth, only to stage her betrayal. By the season finale, having spent months observing Scrooge and his family, getting the ship's blueprints from Della and rallying the Moonlanders, he leads an invasion, ultimately planning to force Earth to orbit the moon.
306** Season 3 has F.O.W.L., the most powerful and feared criminal organization on Earth, with chairman of Scrooge's Board of Directors, [[Characters/Ducktales2017BradfordBuzzard Bradford Buzzard]], leading it right under his nose. Their ultimate goal being to put an end to the [=McDuck=]'s adventures once and for all.
307* ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'': [[ArchEnemy Chip Whistler]], the CEO of Wholesome Foods and the Greens' main enemy for the Farmer's Market who's always plotting to run them out of Big City.
308* ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatianStreet'': [[CruellaToAnimals Cruella de Vil]] is the main villain; having spent the first season tasking her great-nephew, [[TheDragon Hunter]], with tracking down and capturing the dalmatian puppies for her to kill and make into coats as revenge for their ancestors foiling her plans long ago.
309* The ultimate antagonist of ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' is the Core (aka "Darcy"), the HiveMind consciousness of every previous ruler of Newtopia--the kingdom that holds overall rule over Amphibia--has been assimilated into. Captain Grime and King Andrias serve as the ArcVillain of the first and second seasons respectively, but the Core is ultimately responsible for the millennia-spanning conflict of the show.
310* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' has [[Characters/TheOwlHouseEmperorBelos Emperor Belos]], the ruler of the Boiling Isles. He's a tyrannical dictator and SoftSpokenSadist, who seeks to induct everyone into his Coven system before the [[VaguenessIsComing Day of Unity]], and the {{Arc Villain}}s of both seasons (Lilith in Season 1 and The Golden Guard/Hunter in Season 2) are carrying out his direct orders. [[spoiler:It later turns out that Belos is really Philip Wittebane, a 17th century human WitchHunter who plans to use the sigils as a means to [[FinalSolution kill every witch on the Boiling Isles]], using the eclipse on the Day of Unity. After his defeat in the second season, [[Characters/TheOwlHouseTheCollector The Collector]] takes over, seeking to turn the Boiling Isles into his personal playground, before Belos retakes this role by manipulating the former.]]
