1'''Basic Trope''': An evil horse with demonic/monstrous features.
2* '''Straight''': Emperor Evulz rides a black horse with [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing]] [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] and [[FlamingHair a mane and tail made of flames]].
3* '''Exaggerated''':
4** Emperor Evulz rides a black horse with {{glowing|EyesOfDoom}} {{red eyes|TakeWarning}}, [[FlamingHair a mane and tail made of flames]], [[GoodWingsEvilWings bat wings]], {{fangs|AreEvil}}, a pair of demonic horns, [[SpikesOfVillainy bony spines coming out of its body]], claws on its front legs and cloven hooves on its back legs.
5** Emperor Evulz is an anthropomorphic [[BeastsOfBattle warring horse]] and also a XenophobicHerbivore.
6** Emperor Evulz has an EvilArmy of {{Xenophobic Herbivor|e}}ous horses.
7* '''Downplayed''': Emperor Evulz rides a large, black horse, but aside from its intimidating size and aggressive temperament, it has no monstrous features.
8* '''Justified''':
9** Emperor Evulz is so badass he went into {{Hell}} to capture a demon horse.
10** Emperor Evulz has more than enough of his fortune to buy many of such {{Xenophobic Herbivore}}s for his EvilArmy.
11* '''Inverted''': Sir Hero rides a [[UnicornsAreSacred pure white]] {{Unicorn}}.
12* '''Subverted''': Emperor Evulz rides a demonic horse with horns and claws, but they are fakes that he put on his horse to make it look scarier.
13* '''Double Subverted''': While the horns and claws are fake, the horse is still a demon horse from {{Hell}} despite not having any monstrous features.
14* '''Parodied''':
15** Emperor Evulz rides a [[GrotesqueCute hellish pony]]! Who would be rather cute, if it weren't for its insatiable appetite for [[EatsBabies baby flesh!]]
16** Or alternatively, Emperor Evulz as a [[OurCentaursAreDifferent centaur]].
17* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
18* '''Averted''': Emperor Evulz rides a normal-looking horse.
19* '''Enforced''': "The show is set in medieval times, so the villain should use a horse for locomotion and we need to make it look evil."
20* '''Lampshaded''': "Evulz' steed is fearsome... it is said he tamed it in the deepest bowels of Hell itself!"
21* '''Invoked''': Evulz performs a demonic ritual to summon a Hellsteed, knowing that the sight of the monstrous beast will demoralize his enemies.
22* '''Exploited''': Even though Emperor Evulz himself is human, Pure the Paladin learns a demon-slaying spell before battling him just to take down his monstrous horse.
23* '''Defied''': Evulz sets himself up as a VillainWithGoodPublicity, so instead of the terrifying hellhorse the heroes expect him to ride he has a pure white charger.
24* '''Discussed''': "Evulz is a demonologist, right? Bet you his horse is going to be all black and fiery."
25* '''Conversed''': "With a steed like that, you already know the guy is up to no good."
