** The Great Western Dragon Lofwyr, [[CorruptCorporateExecutive CEO]] of [[MegaCorp Saeder-Krupp]]. He's the reason for the in-universe popular saying "Never, ''ever'', cut a deal with a dragon". Experienced runners won't ''touch'' an S-K job, because while the payout is ''great'', if you fail, you die - and rumor has it you will be ''EatenAlive''.

** The Night Lords. Entire solar systems have surrendered rather than battle them (tip: this doesn't stop them from butchering you). Even their Primarch, Konrad Curze, otherwise known as the Night Haunter, was this for the criminals of the world he crash-landed upon as an infant, becoming an insane combination of ComicBook/{{Batman}}, ComicBook/ThePunisher, and, of course, [[Film/ApocalypseNow Colonel Kurtz]].

* ''TabletopGame/InNomine'':
** Basically everyone but the archangels Michael and Gabriel are scared shitless of Lucifer -- and with them, that's as much a product of Michael's bravado and Gabriel's insanity as anything else. Angels fear him as the most powerful demon around and essentially a terrorist leader, demons fear him because he likes to inflict arbitrary punishments on his subordinates to keep them too weak to try overthrowing him, humans fear him because he's ''Satan'', and the spirits of the Marches fear him because of his position and malevolence.
** Beleth, Princess of Nightmares, is a figure of dread and fear among angels and demons alike. Her talent for bringing fears to heart-stopping life means that even the greatest Malakim warriors exchange nervous glances when discussing her. The Princes of Hell know that she spies for Lucifer, and will not even work alongside her if they can help it for fear of what she may find -- or place -- in their heads.

*** Lictors are already camouflaged assassin-beasts that can come out of nowhere and eat your face, but the unique Lictor known as Deathleaper combines it with an intelligence that let it deliberately raise itself to Dreaded levels. On the shrine-world of St. Caspalen, rather than assassinate the reigning cardinal and create a martyr, it infiltrated his bunker and slaughtered everyone inside ''except'' him. Then it did it again the next day. And the next. After the tenth, he was a paranoid wreck who was massively hampering, not bolstering, the planet's morale.

When the cardinal finally committed suicide, the planet's defenses all but collapsed and were easy prey for the 'nids.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Cyberpunk}}'': Adam Smasher is this, no matter where and in what incarnation of the game he appears. Smasher is a SociopathicSoldier who takes missions based on [[NoKillLikeOverkill how much carnage and mayhem he gets to cause]]. If he gets a chance to knock off a few civilians too, even better. On top of this, he has a cybernetics fetish, and has replaced 96% of his body with metal, believing that violence and metal are superior to emotion and meat. In other words, this guy is ''the'' quintessential cyberpsycho, though unlike most characters who get that way via [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul too much cybernetic implantation]], everything about Smasher indicates that he was psycho long ''before'' getting cybered up. For everyone who isn't [[WorldsBestWarrior Morgan Blackhand]], Smasher's appearance on a battlefield is a signal to run.

" The same daemons who terrify the hardest most vicious bastards in the entire universe quiver in horror and run from the Emperor's attention, as they risk a true death instead of a simply banishment. It is next to impossible to true kill a strong Daemon, and some of the strongest daemons would rather defy the Dark Gods, a surefire way to get very badly punished at best, than risk an encounter with The Anathema.
