10	"The ultimate villain of the story, who's causing the problem the heroes must solve."
11
12	Note that Big Bad is not a catch-all trope for the biggest and ugliest villain of any given story. The Big Bad is the one who turns out to be behind several other seemingly independent threats.
13	----
14	* ''Literature/ThreeHundredThirtyHoursRevolution'': Dr. Yousef Gold, by being the leader of the corrupted and tyrannical Yofrenian government, qualifies as this as he provides the most conflict in the story and is the one Jack and his rebels spend most of the story trying to defeat.
15	* ''Literature/ThirtyDaysInSpring'': Ryan Rhodes, a teenager killing his classmates while stranded in the woods.
16	* Later seasons of ''WebVideo/ArbyNTheChief'' have Big Bads.
17	%%** Scott in Endgame.
18	** Trent Donnovich in Season 5. The CEO of video game company Bad Games, he's to be wed to Arbiter's friend Claire. It's eventually revealed though that [[spoiler:Trent is cheating on her, prompting Arbiter and Chief to crash the wedding.]]
19	** Clyde, leader of Chaos Theosis, in Season 6. His gang of hackers seeks to get rid of TOSERS via fragbanning all of the organization's members and shut down the Online Multiplayer Network. It's revealed later on though that the clan was actually being employed by [[spoiler:[[HijackedByGanon Trent Donnovich]].]]
20	** Season 7 has [[spoiler:Eugene and his trolling clan. At first, they seem like a band of harmless, annoying trolls whom the duo befriend. This changes once TheSmartGuy, Colin, acquires an upgraded version of Fragban, and the clan goes on a fragbanning spree throughout the OMN.]]
21	** Season 8 has [[spoiler:Adam [=McIntyre=], a former member of Chaos Theosis now seeking to carry out a destructive plan to bring down the OMN and all of its users. In the finale though Arby and Chief meet the [[GreaterScopeVillain real force]] behind all of their struggles -- [[AuthorAvatar Jon Graham]] himself.]]
22	* ''WebVideo/AscensionAcademy'': The Darkness serves as the main Big Bad of the series, acting mostly through the Dark Order.
23	%%* ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' is noted for having a central antagonist for each storyline:
24	%%** "The Dr. Insano Saga": [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Dr.]] [[MadScientist Insano]];
25	%%** "His Heart is Steel": [[EvilTwin Mecha]][[KnightOfCerebus kara]];
26	%%** "The Other Insano": [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Dr. Linksano]];
27	%%** "Linkara Lost": [[MultiversalConqueror Lord Vyce]];
28	%%** "A Story of Magic": Technically, Lord Vyce is still the [[GreaterScopeVillain main antagonist]], but [[spoiler: [[BigBadWannabe Whatley]], [[BackFromTheDead Mechakara]] and [[LiteralSplitPersonality the Magic Gun's dark side]]]] all play the role of TheHeavy / BigBadEnsemble;
29	%%** "All That He Sees, He Conquers": [[FinalBoss Lord Vyce]];
30	%%** "A Piece of the World is Missing": [[EldritchAbomination The Entity]] / [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Missingno.]]]];
31	%%** "His Blue Soul": Initially, we're led to believe that it's Mechakara, but it's revealed that the true villain of the arc is [[spoiler: Lord Vyce]];
32	%%** "Guns and Sorcery": [[AntiVillain Jaeris, the Gunslinger]], with [[EvilCounterpart Holokara]] serving as TheHeavy [[DiscOneFinalBoss for the first half of the story]] and [[spoiler: [[TheBusCameBack Dr.]] [[HijackedByGanon In]][[TookALevelInBadass sano]]]] [[FinalBoss for the climax]];
33	%%** "Ghost in the Machine": Just like in "His Blue Soul", we're led to believe that it's a different villain than it actually is; in this case, we're led to think it's The King of Worms, but once again, it's [[spoiler: Lord Vyce]];
34	%%** "The Machinations of Worms": [[HumanoidAbomination The King]] [[TheCracker of Worms]].
35	%%** ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWallTheMovie'': Mechakara, revived after the events of ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee''.
36	%%** "The Sleepwalker": [[spoiler: An EvilVersusEvil BigBadEnsemble of the Entity fragment, which possessed Linkara after the main Entity's death, and Lord Vyce, who winds up being the FinalBoss]].
37	%%** "The Clone Saga": At first it seems that this position would be taken by [[spoiler: Mechakara, who's been reincarnated as a human clone,]] but it turns out the real antagonist is actually [[spoiler:the Mirror Universe Linkara.]]
38	* ''Script/C0DA'', written by former ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series writer/designer Creator/MichaelKirkbride, takes place in the far distant future of ''TES'' universe. Numidium, the [[RealityWarper Reality Warping]] HumongousMecha of [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Dwemer]] construction, presumed destroyed following the events of ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]]'', returns after having been caught in a time warp. It continues its war on the [[AntiHumanAlliance Aldmeri Dominion]], led by the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName fascistic Thalmor]], leading to an apocalyptic event known as "Landfall", which has forced the remaining inhabitants of Nirn to take refuge on the moon Masser. The story centers around the Dunmer noble, Jubal-lun-Sul, who must defeat Numidium as part of an EngagementChallenge.
39	%%* [[spoiler:Oswald Sherzikien]] in ''WebVideo/TheCartoonMan'' series, who remains HeWhoMustNotBeSeen for the duration of the first two movies.
40	* Doctor Insano certainly fits this for the Website/ChannelAwesome team, being the ArchEnemy of [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] and [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment The Spoony One]], as well as an enemy of many others such as [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]], WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and WebVideo/PawDugan.
41	%%** For the anniversaries, WebVideo/{{Kickassia}} has [[VillainProtagonist NC himself]], WebVideo/SuburbanKnights has [[KnightOfCerebus Malachite]], and WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee is arguable, with either [[TheChessmaster The Executor]] or [[spoiler:[[WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers Ma-Ti.]]]]
42	%%* The big bad of ''Literature/ChaosFighters main series'' is the demon lord while ''Literature/ChaosFighters II'' is [[spoiler:Thanic Snader]].
43	* ''WebAnimation/CPUChampionshipSeries'': [[spoiler:Dark Vincent, a version of Vincent from an alternate timeline who crossed over into the main one to replace it's Vincent.]]
44	* [[spoiler:Vecna]] is this in ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', his return [[spoiler:and later ascension]] being the motivation behind the Briarwood's plans.
45	* ''WebVideo/DaisyBrown'': [[spoiler:Alan the Monster]], after [[spoiler:maturing and subsequently gaining the ability to actively impact the plot]], becomes this—his bullying and abuse causes almost every problem for Daisy, and later [[spoiler:Lithop]].
46	* ''Literature/DayOfTheChoosing'' has "All the Rest," a giant EldritchAbomination that feasts on thousands of individuals who aren't "Chosen" during the ritual that happens each decade.
47	* ''Literature/DisAcedia'' has Lazarus, a malevolent and sadistic god of magic abducting people to the titular maze.
48	* ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'' has [[spoiler:Roy, who is implied to have created the DHMIS universe to punish Yellow Guy via a console used to summon and control the teachers.]] Each installment has its own Big Bad, and they are collectively known as "the Teachers":
49	** The original Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared/"Creativity": Sketchbook... [[AmbiguouslyEvil kinda; it's unclear if they were actually evil or if things just spiraled out of their control.]]
50	** 2/"Time": Tony the Talking Clock. While at first appearing to be affable and somewhat goofy, he shows himself to be evil when he [[spoiler:speeds up time to rot the puppets alive]] for questioning time.
51	** The "HELP" videos: The Money Man (not a teacher, but kidnaps the characters and ransoms them).
52	** 3/"Love": Shrignold the Butterfly, head of a Love Cult who worship a giant stone face named [[TomTheDarkLord Malcolm]].
53	** 4/"Computers": Colin, a talking computer who traps the puppet trio in {{Cyberspace}}.
54	** 5/"Health": The Healthy Band, who tell the puppets contradicting things on what and what isn't healthy, with the steak being the most prominent. They're laughable as ever, but horrifically, [[spoiler:they go as far as to ''kill'' Duck Guy by having his friend eat him.]]
55	** 6/"Dreams": The Lamp is set up as a decoy Big Bad, while the Big Bad of the whole series is revealed: [[spoiler:Roy, the father of Yellow Guy.]]
56	%%* Bad Horse from "WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog."
57	%%** Or Dr. Horrible himself, since he's a VillainProtagonist. Captain Hammer could also count.
58	%%* The Executive is shaping up to be this in ''Podcast/FalloutIsDragons''.
59	%%* ''Literature/FineStructure'' has Oul, an OmnicidalManiac and all-around EldritchAbomination.
60	* ''Roleplay/AGameOfGods'' originally had Omega as the Big Bad, who was behind all the disappearing Champions and was possessing a doomsday device. However, after he kicked the bucket, Lambda came in and some FridgeHorror came up, resulting in them going back for Echidna and confronting the true Big Bad, Digamma.
61	%%* In ''Roleplay/TheGamersAlliance'', several villains have had this role in different story arcs:
62	%%** War of the Andain: [[WellIntentionedExtremist Kagetsu Aurelac de Maar Sul (Kagetsu I)]], the Dark Andain.
63	%%** Chaos War: [[GodOfEvil Mardük]], the God of Chaos.
64	%%** Cardian War: [[TheChessmaster Jemuel]], usurper of the Cardian throne.
65	%%** Sydney Losstarot War: Initially [[EvilOverlord Sydney Losstarot]] the warlord, then his [[DragonAscendant demonic lieutenant]] [[OmnicidalManiac Yurius]].
66	%%** Ofuchi Usurpation: [[EvilSorcerer Taro Ofuchi]], the shaman.
67	%%** Manster Rebellion: [[SmugSnake Kheldar]] and [[HijackedByGanon Yurius]].
68	%%** Arawn Losstarot War: [[AntiVillain Kagetsu I]] the Dark Andain and Arawn Losstarot the warlock.
69	%%** The Great War: At first it looks like [[FourStarBadass Shogun Masamori Hyuga]] is the Big Bad, then the dark cleric [[SorcerousOverlord Distreyd Thanadar XII]] becomes one, and finally the revived god [[SealedEvilInACan Mardük]] takes the mantle.
70	%%* The mysterious phantom thief Deus serves as this for Literature/GrandmasterOfTheft.
71	* In ''Literature/GreekNinja'', it turns out that the no-match-for-any-human-being force that was so strong it could destroy the whole world, was in fact nothing more than a bitter human being himself, [[spoiler: who was purposefully reincarnated simply to get revenge and restore the reign of the Olympians.]]
72	* ''Literature/{{Kaduav}}'': Maria and Joesph are the heads of the Gilded Cross, so they function as this for the whole series. %%That said, Windsor, the StarterVillain, is the main antagonists of the first story.
73	* ''WebVideo/{{KateModern}}'': Michelle Clore is responsible, either directly or indirectly, for nearly everything that goes wrong over the course of the series.
74	* The ''Literature/{{Legatum}}'' stories occasionally have at least one primary villain in them.
75	** ''Literature/SmirvlaksStone'' has [[spoiler:Gnekvizz Corveel, who secretly manipulated Stilyk and Nick into delivering the eponymous stone to his group of villains]].
76	** ''Literature/TheRoadToHell'' has King Chorn Torgash, the tyrannical orc who took over Kosslivo and has turned the kingdom into a war-driven community.
77	** ''Help Not Wanted'' sub-series:
78	*** ''Literature/HelpNotWanted'' has [[spoiler:Ogrell Syn'Gorrsh, who's secretly a cannibalistic SerialKiller who claimed the lives of dozens]].
79	*** ''Literature/HelpNotWantedRemixedPhallicMemoriesInHD'' has [[spoiler:Irklorz, an orc trying to start a war between two orc tribes]].
80	*** ''Literature/HelpNotWanted2FrigidFornication'' has [[spoiler:Selmeena Rheeman, the leader of a team of drako knighs secretly kidnapping and murdering civilians around the world]].
81	* ''Literature/LightningDust'': [[spoiler:Dr. Josh Sherman]], a MadScientist responsible for the Tornadoes and Blood Scouts, is this for the pilot story.
82	* ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets'':The Operator, a tall, faceless, humanoid creature that has been stalking the cast, is the prime antagonist in the series, though he often works in the background and controls the villainy of the series through various characters. Alex is often treated as the greater immediate threat and a straighter example of this trope by the characters, although it's clear that for all his actions, the Operator is pulling his strings from the background.
83	%%* ''WebVideo/MindMyGap'' has the Devil himself, Virgil S. Horn, who narrates the entire ordeal from behind the scenes before finally making his reveal at around the half way point.
84	* ''Literature/MirrorWorld'' has the krylyrk, the EldritchAbomination ruling over the titular mirror dimension called Inoptica that traps countless people. [[spoiler:Eventually, this ends up being subverted; the krylyrk, or "Cheshire," intended none of the fallout that results from its machinations, which causes a series of [[PoorCommunicationKills miscommunications]] just as at fault]].
85	* ''Literature/TheNeverkindSaga'' is a crossover of ''Literature/TheNeverMythos'' and ''Literature/TheKindnessOfDevils'', but each story seems to have their own major villain nonetheless.
86	** ''The Kindness of Devils'':
87	*** ''Literature/GirlsOnFilm'' has Rich Jacobs, a vampire who uses his father's money and connections to operate a [[SnuffFilm snuff porn ring]].
88	*** ''Literature/NightsInLonesomeArkham'' has Nyarlathotep, the emissary of the Outer Gods and Hardestadt's ArchEnemy.
89	*** ''Literature/NoneTooHoly'' has the Pijavica, a vampire who [[spoiler:frequently raped her son, killed one of Hardestadt's allies, and put an entire orphanage in jeopardy]].
90	*** ''Literature/UnderTheColdMoon'' has Siegfried Gunmarsohn, a werewolf who hunts humans for sport and also [[spoiler:wants to destroy the world with the aid of Ithaqua, one of the Great Old Ones]].
91	*** ''Literature/TheDreamsOfLonelyStars'' has Thomas Nero, the leader of the cult of Cthulhu who's trying to summon Cthulhu.
92	*** ''Literature/InTheCastleOfTheNight'' has Count Nicolai Gabriel von Krolock, a vampire who's trying to revive his spirit by massacring dozens.
93	*** ''Literature/AndToAllAGoodNight'' has [[spoiler:Krampus, who kidnapped several children and is trying to destroy Christmas]].
94	*** ''Literature/AConspiracyOfSerpents'' has the King of Serpents (or [[spoiler:Apophis]]), an OmnicidalManiac who is attempting to devour all worlds in his path.
95	*** ''Literature/OnlyALonelyHeart'' Y'golonac the Defiler, who uses his powers to possess, rape, and murder innocents.
96	*** ''Literature/OverHighSeas'' has Sebastian Hawkins [[spoiler:(who's really Henry Avery)]], a blackguard who is trying to control the seas using an underwater monsters known as the Cthonis.
97	** ''The Lonely Dreams Cycle'':
98	*** ''Literature/SangueSerenissima'' has the "thing in the patchwork cloak," who's actually [[spoiler:Eliphas Coyte, an abomination longing to kill Seers and devour their brains]].
99	*** ''Literature/EmptyMemoriesAndColdGraves'' has a BigBadDuumvirate between Nyarlathotep and the Shadows' Consultant, the respective [[ArchEnemy arch-enemies]] of Hardestadt and Eliza.
100	*** ''Literature/TheWolvesOfWar'' has [[BigBadEnsemble multiple villains]], but the penultimate chapter reveals that [[spoiler:the Shadows' Consultant has secretly been manipulating all the other major villains]].
101	*** ''Literature/TheUnquietGrave'' has Lord Silas Ruthven, Carmilla's EvilUncle trying to kill millions of humans and attempting to turn London--and the rest of the world--into a hellish landscape.
102	** ''The Never Mythos'', overall, has the Shadows' Consultant, whose ruinous manipulations cause the vast majority of all pain in the series.
103	*** ''Literature/TheCityOfNever'' has [[spoiler:Draynak, the deity who is trying to destroy all of the Teraverse]].
104	*** ''Literature/TheRedMonarch'' has Vladik Cardinous, an EldritchAbomination posing as an animation director.
105	*** ''Literature/{{Valentine}}'' and its sequel ''Literature/ValentineMan'' has Helen Valentine, the leader of an Italian community who's secretly behind dozens of horrific and deranged murders and forms of torture.
106	* ''WebVideo/{{Petscop}}'' has [[BigBadEnsemble two antagonists]]. Marvin V. Mark is the primary, in-game threat, as he is [[MysteriousWaif Care]] and [[spoiler:Belle]]'s abusive father (and kidnapper in Care's case) who wants to [[spoiler:"rebirth" Care, believing her to be he reincarnation of Lisa Lezkowitz]], and all the mysterious happenings in the game tie back to him. In the real world, [[spoiler:Aunt Jill, leader of The Family, took over the Petscop [=YouTube=] channel and is holding Paul hostage, forcing him to play the game for some reason]].
107	* ''Literature/PinotNoir'': Big D is the crime boss who rules over all criminal activity in Kaos, and is responsible for Purge Night, a single night in which criminals are allowed to commit whatever crime they want. Eventually, he sends his men after Pinot himself, who is killing the criminals of the city to get himself some sleep. [[spoiler:[[DiscOneFinalBoss However]], the [[BigBadEnsemble real villains]] are Greta Ludwig von Hertz, D's head MadDoctor who has her own plans that involve the death of D's son and the capturing of Pinot for her own personal needs, while also being the one to pitch the concept of Purge Night to D, making her just as responsible for everything that goes on in the story; and Kleetus Klementine/Christopher Cogswell, a separate villain and [[SinisterMinister preacher]] who's responsible for multiple child kidnappings, hinted to be responsible for the rampant crime in Kaos via BlackMagic, and is actually an immortal servant of [[Literature/CthulhuMythos Shub-Niggurath]] that wants to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy all living things on the planet]].]]
108	* ''Literature/ThePiratesCoveredInFur'': Captain Lyle Krinkor, the wolf pirate who's trying to destroy Diamond City and doesn't care how many innocents are caught in the crossfire.
109	* The Mysterious Somebody, Bracket Fungus and League of Mary-Sue Factories take this role for the ''WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum''. Despite being long dead, the Mysterious Somebody could be said to be the most influential Big Bad, as his actions more or less shaped the PPC's identity in-story; the League is a series of offshoots from his original Mary-Sue Factory, and the organisation of the PPC itself is a reaction to his actions as its head.
110	* ''WebVideo/PuppetReviewsStuff'' has the Puppet's ArchEnemy Vonstrucker who is planning on enacting revenge on him for past offenses unclear.
111	* Originally it was implied that Ozzie Arcane was the Big Bad of ''WebVideo/TheQuestForGeekdom'', but it was eventually revealed to be [[spoiler: Eric Rosethorn]].
112	* Plenty of Big Bads in ''Literature/TheQuestportChronicles'': [[EvilSorcerer The Master of Darkness]], [[EldritchAbomination The Prince of Shadows and Illusions]], and [[spoiler:[[NoNameGiven the mage]]]].
113	%%* ''A Scooby Story'' has ''Barney,'' of all characters, as the villain.
114	* ''WebVideo/SlimecicleCinematicUniverse'':
115	** For "Minecraft, but every 5 minutes there's a natural disaster", it's [[JerkassGods Schlatt]], who torments Charlie and his friends throughout the video.
116	** [[spoiler:"Patient Zero"/Tommy]] fulfills this role in "We Spent 100 Days in a Hardcore Minecraft Apocalypse" as the one who started the whole apocalypse and the one responsible for the zombie hordes.
117	* ''WebVideo/StampysLovelyWorld'': No matter what the problem, whether it be missing dogs or an army of clones, it is a safe bet to assume [[Characters/StampysLovelyWorld HitTheTarget]] is behind it.
118	* ''Literature/StellarRangerDarkStar'':
119	** ''Series One: Hollow Hearts'': [[EvilOverlord Baron Stellos]] is the leader of the Hollow Hearts Army who desires to conquer the Earth and add the [[OurSoulsAreDifferent star hearts]] of its inhabitants to his collection. The reason he is doing this is because [[spoiler:he is collecting the Star hearts in memory of Kilaua, his beloved who was killed by the Savage Stars... or so it seems, but [[DiscOneFinalBoss Stellos]] was [[TheWomanBehindTheMan being manipulated]] by her all along]].
120	** ''Series Two: Savage Stars'': [[spoiler:The [[EldritchAbomination Eye of Despair]]/Kilaua/Lynneth Ursula Card/Lanessa de Vran Sie]] is the one who hired the Savage Stars to kill June and friends and is manipulating [[spoiler:Prince Halloway Decembren]] as part of a plan to [[spoiler:[[GodhoodSeeker become goddess of the universe]] and surpass the rest of her family of Star Vampires]].
121	** ''Series Three: The Fallen Star'': [[CreepyTwins Zanra and Vanra]] control the prisoners of the titular Fallen Star and use them to spread havoc around Solar City, intending to devour the citizens' star energy. They are actually [[spoiler:two halves of Anra de Vran Sie/The Jaws of Despair, Lanessa's sister, who wants the energy to revive [[GreaterScopeVillain their mother]], the Hand of Despair, and have her destroy the planet]].
122	$$* The "dark, unidentifiable figure" from [[http://strangerstories.yolasite.com/ The Stranger]]
123	* Danya commands the terrorist organization in charge of ''Roleplay/{{Survival of the Fittest}}'', and is therefore primarily responsible for the students being abducted and forced to kill one another. [[spoiler:At least until he's killed by [[TheDogBitesBack Dorian Pello]].]]
124	** Each ''Survival of the Fittest'' Endgame tends to have one major villain from the students too. V1 had [[spoiler: Cody Jenson, the killer of [[TheHero Adam Dodd's]] girlfriend and best friend]], V2 had [[spoiler: Mariavel Varella, the biggest killer on the island, who further cemented her status when she killed [[TheHero Bryan Calvert's]] girlfriend,]] and V3 had [[spoiler: J.R. Rizzolo, who [[TheBadGuyWins actually ended up winning]]]].
125	%%* The Shadows from ''Literature/{{The Tale of Gaven Morren}}''.
126	* ''Literature/TailsOfTheBountyHunter'' has The Baron, the leader of an intergalactic cartel who is trying to kill hundreds of millions on a distant moon.
127	* Garret Meyer in this ''WebVideo/DoorMonster'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uam0KMyZh2E&index=3&list=PL0u5ZHidq4X4QhFAX9FzSiYJLRen74sLF The Guards Themselves]], imprisoning most of The Anarchists and trying to take control of the entire city.
128	* ''Literature/ToWelcomeOblivion'' has [[spoiler:Noah T. Trepaly, who is the true mastermind of the entire plot. He's also secretly [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Nyarlathotep]].]]
129	* This role is occupied by whoever currently controls Team Noir in ''Roleplay/{{Toro League}}''. This was originally Shadow X, though later the role was taken over by the since-defeated-but-not-yet-replaced Reaper Z.
130	* ''Literature/{{TOT}}'' has Maximus Slade, the malevolent werewolf who constantly torments the main characters and slaughters dozens of innocents on Halloween in a twisted form of entertainment.
131	* ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'': Yes, the entire "canon" is made up of AscendedFanon, but surprisingly each instalment so far has had one character whom the Mob basically all agrees to blame for anything bad (Pokémon getting [[KilledOffForReal released]], countdown [[TimedMission timers]], etc).
132	** ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRed'' had the Dome Fossil, a SatanicArchetype God of [[LawfulEvil Order]] and [[DemocracyIsBad Democracy]] said to be served by Bill (and therefore, by extension, the PC).
133	** ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystal'' had Lord Helix, [[RogueProtagonist Big Good of the previous game]], God of [[ChaoticEvil Chaos]] and [[AnarchyIsChaos Anarchy]].
134	** ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonEmerald'' had Bill [[DragonAscendant ascend]] into this role himself as a NeutralEvil mastermind.
135	%%* ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'': Strex Corp in Year Two.
136	* There are lots of Big Bads in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''
137	** The unseen supervillain Nimbus seems to be behind everything. The superweapons at Halloween, the deviser drug used on Merry and maybe also G-Force, and so on. Even some of the Christmas holiday adventures had Nimbus lurking somewhere behind the scenes. We still don't know what he's up to.
138	** That said, [[spoiler: "Señor X"]] seems to be responsible for everything that Nimbus ''isn't''. Among other things, he's indirectly responsible for [[spoiler: everything Hecate did, and by connection, half the bad stuff the Alphas were up to early on]]. More importantly though, a recent story revealed that [[spoiler: There was a very powerful and very subtle spell active on campus designed to increase tension and conflict]], and he's implied to be the one responsible -- making him [[spoiler: indirectly responsible for the actions of more or less every on-campus bad-guy to date]]. Oh and it's practically been confirmed by this point that [[spoiler: he's masquerading as a student]].
139	** In the recent story "Razzle Dazzle", Thomas Townsend, alias Mephisto the Mentalist, alias Cerebrex the Super-Brain, claims to have been scheming against many different heros for over eighty years. Under the alias Dominus, he's the current boss of the Syndicate. We don't know for such how much of this is true, since Thomas Townsend admits that he's an UnreliableNarrator.
140	** Considering how little we know about these Whateley Big Bads, it's possible that two or more of them are the same person.
141	* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' at first appears to have a BigBadEnsemble, between the multitudes of supervillains, the three [[OmnicidalManiac Endbringers]], the [[PsychoForHire Slaughterhouse 9]], and [[NebulousEvilOrganization Cauldron,]] but the best contender for the role is the Simurgh, the third of the Endbringers, a malevolent, massively powerful telepath and precognitive with a fondness for DisasterDominoes and [[ManchurianAgent brainwashed pawns]], who is essentially responsible for the world being in the state that it is by sabotaging any attempts to improve the world almost before they start, and who may be TheManBehindTheMan for any of the above.
142	** [[spoiler: However, the real Big Bad turns out to be [[PhysicalGod Scion]], who spends most of the story looking like the BigGood.]]
143	%%* Serias fills this role in ''WebVideo/WormtoothNation''.
144	* In ''WebVideo/YandereHighSchool,'' Yuki. She killed the first main teacher, Gareth's wife, leading to [[DrivenToSuicide his haunting of the school,]] because Taurtis jokingly had an interest in her. She also framed Chan-Yandere for running over Salex, Taurtis' girlfriend, and led her father's [[YakuZa yakuza]] against Sam and Taurtis in the first season's finale. The showdown resulted in Sam, Taurtis, Grian, and Dom having to go into the witness protection program and move.
145	* Israphel is this in ''WebVideo/ShadowOfIsraphel'', having antagonized Knight_Peculier all his life, and is currently trying to destroy the world, and we ''still'' don't know who he actually is. [[spoiler:Then it turns out he may have actually been working for [[GreaterScopeVillain the Sand God/Jade Sentinel]]]], but [[LeftHanging we may never know]].
