* ''WebAnimation/AnimatorVsAnimation'' mostly composes of one-off threats - either for [[VillainOfTheWeek shorter]] or [[FillerVillain longer]] episodes - that rarely appear more than once. However, these three villains (treated by fans as the series' "big three" due to being the most iconic and dangerous antagonists) are the central threats of story arcs that span several episodes:
** ''Animator vs. Animation V''[[note]]Was originally a four-episode series called the ''[=AvA=] Shorts''[[/note]]: [[OmnicidalManiac The Dark Lord]], one of the Animator's former creations, creates an army of [[ComputerVirus ViraBots]] with the intentions of killing as many creatures in the Internet as possible.
** Season 3 of the ''[=AvM=] Shorts'': [[TheSpook King Orange]] wants to steal the ''Minecraft'' Game Icon from the Stick Gang's home so he can [[spoiler:destroy all of ''Minecraft'' with a black hole]]. [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Purple]] serves as TheDragon [[spoiler:until he is betrayed by his master]] and there are additionally several minor threats.
** ''Animator vs. Animation VI''[[note]]Also known as ''[=AvA=] Shorts'' Season 2[[/note]]: [[spoiler:[[CorruptCorporateExecutive Victim]] was the Animator's very first creation, returning 17 years after his presumed death to take revenge on his creator]]. Four HiredGuns serve as the CoDragons who directly assist their boss in everything.

* ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'' has a major overarching villain who becomes a threat throughout the season, usually being set up in the previous season.
** Season 1 plays with this, as while Jschlatt was the villain throughout the season once the elections were over, it was ''Wilbur'' who ultimately became the main antagonist after [[DiscOneFinalBoss Jschlatt died suddenly]], having resolved to blow up L'Manburg in an attempt to off himself while Technoblade [[TheHeavy helped clean up the remaining mess with Withers]]. Wilbur's case is played with, however, as he ''saw'' himself as a VillainProtagonist as a result of an arc-long mental breakdown and while he ''is'' an antagonist, he's closer to an AntiHero than a villain proper.
** Season 2 plays this straight with Dream, being an active threat throughout Season 1 before he took a backseat to Jschlatt, coming back in full force by horrifically abusing and {{gaslighting}} Tommy and being responsible for both his exile and the permanent destruction of L'Manburg. He even has a FinalBattle with Tommy at the very end, and overall seems to act as the BigBad.
** Season 3 initially has the Eggpire, a cult worshipping a BotanicalAbomination that had its start in Season 2 but became a major threat in Season 3. Though Dream was in prison during the season, he still managed to exert a significant amount of control over the server and generally played a BigBadEnsemble with the Crimson, the aforementioned BotanicalAbomination.
*** Later in the season, the Las Nevadas arc muddies the waters a lot more--post-DespairEventHorizon, Quackity acts as a somewhat antagonistic force [[spoiler:(he gets better by the end of the volume)]], but pales in comparison to Techno, who gets broken out of prison by Philza and eventually ''breaks Dream out of prison'' in the season finale, allowing Dream to act as the ReturningBigBad in Season 4.
