** Bluebeard, the Fable who used to kill all of his wives, is a cowardly, conceited rich blowhard who continually plots behind peoples' backs, uses threats to intimidate his opponents back down, and has no qualms about killing helpless people, as long as they can't fight back. He makes no pretense of likability at all. After Snow White survives the Farm rebellion, Bluebeard drugs both Snow and Bigby into running away and sleeping together, then sends Goldilocks to assassinate them -- in [[DisproportionateRetribution retaliation for Bigby insulting him.]]

* CultureJustifiesAnything: When the Arabian Fables join Fabletown, they are told that slavery is illegal in Fabletown and that they will have to free their slaves. The Arabian Fables object, claiming that slave ownership is part of their culture. King Cole agrees that Fabletown will honor their custom of owning slaves, but only if they agree to honor Fabletown's custom of executing slaveholders wherever they find them. The Arabian Fables immediately agree to free their slaves.

** Frau Totenkinder ''started'' by [[WouldHurtAChild sacrificing her own baby to demons]] and wiping out the tribe she was born into, then continued to murder thousands of children in blood rituals to keep her power during the following centuries, which she used to inflict [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment inventively cruel]] and [[DisproportionateRetribution very disproportionate]] "punishments" on anybody she pleased, showing up as the unseen evil force in assorted stories.

Tommy Sharp who suspects that the citizens of Fabletown are vampires. He decides to go ''right up to them'' and say that he thinks they are immortal vampires.

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: The Adversary was able to conquer hundreds of worlds via dividing and conquering, and then Zerg Rushing the others. However, these tactics only worked against scattered villages and individual forts. Owing to a staunch ScienceIsBad belief, they never updated their tactics or technology. Magic was still the preferred system; the only time they are ever shown using technology, it is strictly to accomplish a singular goal (giving the wooden soldiers guns in order to blend into the human world). Secondly, his army worked akin to a Roman Legion, where the officer had strict and total authority over his subordinates, enforced by total discipline. This left a glaring weakness, that if the officer was removed, the soldiers he commanded would be directionless. Finally, the Adversary was deeply drunk on his Empire's own superiority, and even though he knew of the flaws in the system, he did nothing to correct them. As a result, when the Fables forced his military leaders into comas, his army completely fell apart. In addition, the Fables were able to hold their own against the numerically superior Empire...by machine-gunning their troops en masse.
