** '''[[ItsAllAboutMe Self-Centeredness]] and [[NeverMyFault Inculpability]]''': Clearly cares only for herself as shown by how she threw away even her most devoted allies, and [[RevengeMyopia whines about "revenge" against people who retaliate against her cruelty]] (if you pay close attention to when she begs for mercy, you'll notice she [[TheUnapologetic never once apologizes for her actions, a clear sign that she's completely remorseless]]).

* The internet troll calling himself Resisilobus in ''[[https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/5hud9q/i_was_a_professional_internet_troll/ I was a professional Internet Troll]]'' naturally fits the bill, since his idea of "trolling" goes ''way'' beyond merely being a dick on the internet. An arrogant loner with a love of sadistically tormenting others, Resisilobus manipulates people like puppets on a string and commits crimes as petty as catfishing and posting gore in family-friendly communities, and as monstrous as goading people into committing suicide and mass-murder. He has no empathy for those he hurts, and when [[spoiler:recklessly invoking a demon's name leads to it hunting him down]], he's cocky enough to brag that [[spoiler:he was a better demon than it ever was.]]

* Snadhy'rune, the closest thing ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' has to a BigBad, fits a lot of the criteria for sociopathy/psychopathy. Her defining character traits consist of the list mentioned at the top of the page, and one person on the forum [[http://forums.drowtales.com/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=18192 ran her through the Hare Psychopathy Checklist]] and found she hit nearly every point on the list, with the main ones she missed either covering periods of her life we haven't seen or that don't apply in context (i.e. drow do not get married so the "many short-term marital relationships" doesn't apply). She's effectively manipulated her lover [[spoiler:Mel'arnach Val'Sarghress]] to be totally emotionally dependent on her to the point that when [[spoiler:Mel's daughter]] is in a life threatening situation she freezes completely and can only say out loud that Snadhya will fix it, and it's strongly implied Snadhya views her as pet more than an equal. She keeps up a pretty effective MaskOfSanity for the public, but over the course of chapter 46 she gradually drops it until the absolutely cold-blooded way she [[spoiler:murders her own daughter Kalki]] clinches it. [[spoiler:Zhor]] also says that Snadhya's mother knew "the sickness in her daughter" which also heavily suggests that it's pathological.
** Also Yuh'le, one of the Nidraa'chal, is explicitly referred to as a sociopath, but unlike Snadhya'rune it's much more obvious in her case, with her possessing a flat affect, severe LackOfEmpathy and a habit of using her BloodMagic to make small animals explode for fun when she can't use it on other people, and was thrown out of her clan for a murder that it's implied she committed for fun. Contrasted with Snadhya she is a good example of a low-functioning sociopath compared to Snadhya's high-functioning. Also of note is how the Kyorl'solenurn Seers (who are basically TheEmpath and can sense the intent of others) are completely unable to sense ''anything'' from her and are enormously unsettled by this.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'', Olive Branch fits this trope to a tee. She comes as close as the largely GreyAndGrayMorality of Erfworld gets to being truly evil. Olive Branch is a charming ManipulativeBitch who inevitably betrays and destroys everyone around her. She is also a narcissist, having brought ruin to many sides and even the casters of her ''own'' side just to prove the superiority of her magic. According to Wanda, she is literally incapable of empathy or remorse and cares only about herself.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', the first attempt at {{Uplifted Animal}}s, chimpanzees, turned out like this; their frontal lobes were not developed enough to let them think through what they were doing before they did it. [[spoiler: Dr. Bowman gets around this by being intelligent and self aware enough to realize this, and took precautions in advance to ensure he doesn't hurt people. This involved castrating himself with a plastic spoon]].
* Angel, the VillainProtagonist of ''Webcomic/TheGoodWitch'', remorselessly torments and ruins the lives of her friends, family, and anybody unfortunate enough to cross her path with her newfound magic powers. There are hints she is a "made sociopath," not originally being so cruel and self-centered but gradually cracking under an intense amount of bullying, but any sympathy that might have been gifted to her has long since passed; for God's sake, she turns people into articles of clothing, which her unwitting mother then sells in her store, and ''keeps them sentient'' so that they can desperately try to find anyone to help them and eternally despair over their predicament!
* Some fans of ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' have referred to international lingerie model Senna as a borderline sociopath. She's certainly a {{narcissist}}, being vain, self-centered, and delusional; she also shows few signs of empathy, lies on a whim, possesses casual charm, and pursues all sorts of thrills. Given the nature of the comic, she's a fairless harmless [[ComedicSociopathy comedy version]] at worst, though, and she does show flashes of some kind of fondness for Gary, along with deep and long-lasting feelings towards Sandra (though admittedly the feeling there is poorly-concealed hatred).
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' features some sociopathic villains:
** Tarquin is quite the sociopath -- while his fans like to paint him as [[DracoInLeatherPants a leather pants-wearing]] NobleDemon, that doesn't change the fact that the lives of others mean very little to him. He "[[ColdBloodedTorture convinces]]" his wives to marry him. He forces Gannji and Enor to fight to the death because he thought Elan would enjoy it, simply because they had captured him and brought him to, the former after mistaking him for Nale (and seems confused when Elan isn't thrilled with the idea). He's also got LackOfEmpathy down, as he tells Malack (his supposed friend) to stop whining about his dead "children" [[spoiler:actually, it turns out, vampire minions]] and orders him to work with Nale (who killed said children). And then [[spoiler:he stabs Nale, who is also his son, to death afterwards]]. It's quite evident that he sees everyone around him as plot devices, nothing more, nothing less. Which said, he apparently felt some kind of real friendship with Malack, he feels some kind of compulsion to bring order to the world, and he pales beside...
** Xykon, the comic's BigBad. At no point does Xykon show any feeling for another being that isn't merely practical (and sometimes not even then). He has little if any desire to control his impulses, possibly because unlike Tarquin he has the raw magical power to cow anyone into obedience or kill those who would oppose him, and is well-aware of it, so he never really needed to rely so much on manipulation. His motivation for committing evil can largely be summed up with "[[ForTheEvulz Why not?]]" He's easily bored and destroying the lives of others is his only method of alleviating the boredom. He's [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior been like this since he was a child]], when his pet dog died and he first awakened his magical power by raising it as an undead, then used it to torture and kill animals. As a teenager, he murdered his family in cold blood, simply because he knew he could. [[BrilliantButLazy He is also far more cunning and manipulative than one might think]]; when sufficiently motivated, he can play others like a fiddle, such as when he [[spoiler:tricked Redcloak into killing his brother]]. To top it all off, he is [[FauxAffablyEvil very charming and funny]], as even Redcloak admits.
* ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'': Cyndi eventually turns out to be one. Initially, she comes off as a fairly standard AlphaBitch-type, similar to Karen, and takes twisted delight in messing with Penny, Aggie, and their friends. This reaches a head when she [[spoiler:manipulates Stan into destroying his relationship with Brandi]] and is positively gleeful about it. She eventually cements her status as this by the end of the [[spoiler:Missing Person arc]]. [[spoiler:Right before the police rescue her from her kidnapper, Charlotte, Cyndi appears to show some remorse, and convinces Charlotte that they are NotSoDifferent. When Charlotte slits her own throat in grief, Cyndi reveals that she had already managed to free herself, and that her HeelRealization was just an act to get Charlotte to kill herself. Finally, after she is rescued, her parents reveal that the police managed to hack into her laptop during their search for her, and discovered her disturbing diary entries about how much she enjoys making other people suffer. They then tearfully apologize to her as they commit her to a mental hospital.]]

* Snadhy'rune, ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'':
** Tony theclosest thing ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' has to a BigBad, fits a lot of Talking Clock in the criteria second. The sadistic smile on his face as he [[spoiler:rots the puppets alive to prove a point]] says it all. He uses the same trick on a sentient apple earlier in the video ForTheEvulz.
** Collin in the fourth is narcissistic, violent, and completely indifferent to the suffering of others. He punishes Red Guy forsociopathy/psychopathy. Her defining character traits consist of the list mentioned at the top of the page, touching his keyboard by [[spoiler:trapping him and his friends in a digital world where they can't do anything except open one person on the forum [[http://forums.drowtales.com/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=18192 ran her through the Hare Psychopathy Checklist]] of three doors over and found she hit nearly every point on the list, with the main ones she missed either covering periods of her life we haven't seen or over again. It's hinted that don't apply he also literally made Red Guy's head explode]].
** The Healthy Band incontext (i.e. drow do not get married so the "many short-term marital relationships" fifth put on a friendly, playful demeanour, but it's heavily implied that they [[spoiler:tricked Yellow Guy into eating his only remaining friend alive]].
* [[BodySnatcher HABIT]] from ''WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID'' is one, having killed and tortured several people sadistically, all out of a twisted sense of entertainment.
* ''Literature/FearLoathingAndGumboOnTheCampaignTrailSeventyTwo'':
** The Lesser Mao. He does anything to maintain power, including massive purges that kill millions, and [[spoiler: even ''dropping an atomic bomb on a rebelling city'']]. He cares about [[ItsAllAboutMe nobody except himself]], believes himself to be smarter than everyone around him, regularly uses drugs near the end of his rule, turns his country into a Khmer Rogue style hellhole, and turns China into a massive producer of heroin largely to spite the West and [[{{Greed}} for his own monetary gain]].
** [[spoiler: Donald Rumsfeld. He obviously doesn'tapply). She's effectively manipulated her lover [[spoiler:Mel'arnach Val'Sarghress]] care about ruining the environment, and forcing working people to work for starvation wages if he can create a "free" economy. Or locking up his own allies if they don't agree with his whim. And he doesn't care about giving soldiers substandard equipment and killing them if he can save money]].
* ''WebVideo/GameTheoryWebShow'' has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WMSQNVhMqA couple]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcxW_ciP5R4 videos]] about Main/{{Mario}} being one.
* In the ''Roleplay/MSFHighForum'', Seram Rosenbyme is meant to betotally emotionally dependent on her to one. Whether or not she can stay written as one of these, when she is engaged, is an interesting conflict for the point player, and is likely to cause severe character drama in the future. She does not possess the lack of long-term planning, but '''''definitely''''' lacks empathy.
* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick, especially with the "not understanding boundaries" thing. What's wrong with installing cameras in your friend's bedroom?
* A much darker example on the site would be the {{yandere}} family in ''WebVideo/DemoReel''. They hold Donnie captive with muscle relaxants under the pretense that they're helping him get better, have NoSenseOfPersonalSpace with him (not even the daughter), force him to watch the movies he made when[[spoiler:Mel's daughter]] is in a life threatening situation she freezes completely he was little, and worst of all, refuse to believe him when he tells them that [[spoiler: his mother killed herself]] while he was shooting a film.
* ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' villains can quite frequently be sociopaths, with characters like J.R. Rizzolo and Jacob Starr being prominent examples of these traits. In spin-off ''The Program'', Brigadier General David Adams has all the hallmarks of being one, given he doesn't seem to care at all about the imminent deaths of the students.
* ''WebVideo/TheVeronicaExclusive'' gives us Jane Dean, an intelligent, manipulative, charismatic teenage girl who has ''very'' poor impulse control and sees no problem with killing people for being bullies, or plotting to blow up her school. Her onlysay out loud that Snadhya will fix it, and genuine connection is with her girlfriend, Veronica, but it's strongly implied Snadhya views clear she doesn't really know how to empathize with her, and frequently coerces and manipulates her as pet more than an equal. She keeps up a pretty effective MaskOfSanity for the public, but over the course of chapter 46 she gradually drops it until the absolutely cold-blooded way she [[spoiler:murders into being her own daughter Kalki]] clinches it. [[spoiler:Zhor]] also says accomplice. Given that Snadhya's mother knew "the sickness in her daughter" which also heavily suggests that she was willing to murder Veronica for leaving her, it's pathological.
** Also Yuh'le, one of the Nidraa'chal, is explicitly referredhard to as a sociopath, but unlike Snadhya'rune it's much more obvious say whether she genuinely loves Veronica (albeit in a deeply unhealthy way) or if she's just desperate for company and affection. Or both. She also did love her case, with her possessing a flat affect, severe LackOfEmpathy and a habit of using her BloodMagic to make small animals explode for fun when she can't use it on other people, and was thrown out of her clan for a murder that mother -- it's implied she committed for fun. Contrasted with Snadhya she is a good example of a low-functioning sociopath compared to Snadhya's high-functioning. Also of note is how the Kyorl'solenurn Seers (who are basically TheEmpath and can sense the intent of others) are completely unable to sense ''anything'' from that her and are enormously unsettled by this.

** Also Yuh'le, one of the Nidraa'chal, is explicitly referred to as a sociopath, but unlike Snadhya'rune it's much more obvious in her case, with her possessing a flat affect, severe LackOfEmpathy and a habit of using her BloodMagic to make small animals explode for fun when she can't use it on other people, and was thrown out of her clan for a murder that it's implied she committed for fun. Contrasted with Snadhya she is a good example of a low-functioning sociopath compared to Snadhya's high-functioning. Also of note is how the Kyorl'solenurn Seers (who are basically TheEmpath and can sense the intent of others) are completely unable to sense ''anything'' from her and are enormously unsettled by this.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'', Olive Branch fits this trope to a tee. She comes as close as the largely GreyAndGrayMorality of Erfworld gets to being truly evil. Olive Branch is a charming ManipulativeBitch who inevitably betrays and destroys everyone around her. She is also a narcissist, having brought ruin to many sides and even the casters of her ''own'' side just to prove the superiority of her magic. According to Wanda, she is literally incapable of empathy or remorse and cares only about herself.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', the first attempt at {{Uplifted Animal}}s, chimpanzees, turned out like this; their frontal lobes were not developed enough to let them think through what they were doing before they did it. [[spoiler: Dr. Bowman gets around this by being intelligent and self aware enough to realize this, and took precautions in advance to ensure he doesn't hurt people. This involved castrating himself with a plastic spoon]].
* Angel, the VillainProtagonist of ''Webcomic/TheGoodWitch'', remorselessly torments and ruins the lives of her friends, family, and anybody unfortunate enough to cross her path with her newfound magic powers. There are hints she is a "made sociopath," not originally being so cruel and self-centered but gradually cracking under an intense amount of bullying, but any sympathy that might have been gifted to her has long since passed; for God's sake, she turns people into articles of clothing, which her unwitting mother then sells in her store, and ''keeps them sentient'' so that they can desperately try to find anyone to help them and eternally despair over their predicament!
* Some fans of ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' have referred to international lingerie model Senna as a borderline sociopath. She's certainly a {{narcissist}}, being vain, self-centered, and delusional; she also shows few signs of empathy, lies on a whim, possesses casual charm, and pursues all sorts of thrills. Given the nature of the comic, she's a fairless harmless [[ComedicSociopathy comedy version]] at worst, though, and she does show flashes of some kind of fondness for Gary, along with deep and long-lasting feelings towards Sandra (though admittedly the feeling there is poorly-concealed hatred).
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' features some sociopathic villains:
** Tarquin is quite the sociopath -- while his fans like to paint him as [[DracoInLeatherPants a leather pants-wearing]] NobleDemon, that doesn't change the fact that the lives of others mean very little to him. He "[[ColdBloodedTorture convinces]]" his wives to marry him. He forces Gannji and Enor to fight to the death because he thought Elan would enjoy it, simply because they had captured him and brought him to, the former after mistaking him for Nale (and seems confused when Elan isn't thrilled with the idea). He's also got LackOfEmpathy down, as he tells Malack (his supposed friend) to stop whining about his dead "children" [[spoiler:actually, it turns out, vampire minions]] and orders him to work with Nale (who killed said children). And then [[spoiler:he stabs Nale, who is also his son, to death afterwards]]. It's quite evident that he sees everyone around him as plot devices, nothing more, nothing less. Which said, he apparently felt some kind of real friendship with Malack, he feels some kind of compulsion to bring order to the world, and he pales beside...
** Xykon, the comic's BigBad. At no point does Xykon show any feeling for another being that isn't merely practical (and sometimes not even then). He has little if any desire to control his impulses, possibly because unlike Tarquin he has the raw magical power to cow anyone into obedience or kill those who would oppose him, and is well-aware of it, so he never really needed to rely so much on manipulation. His motivation for committing evil can largely be summed up with "[[ForTheEvulz Why not?]]" He's easily bored and destroying the lives of others is his only method of alleviating the boredom. He's [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior been like this since he was a child]], when his pet dog died and he first awakened his magical power by raising it as an undead, then used it to torture and kill animals. As a teenager, he murdered his family in cold blood, simply because he knew he could. [[BrilliantButLazy He is also far more cunning and manipulative than one might think]]; when sufficiently motivated, he can play others like a fiddle, such as when he [[spoiler:tricked Redcloak into killing his brother]]. To top it all off, he is [[FauxAffablyEvil very charming and funny]], as even Redcloak admits.
* ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'': Cyndi eventually turns out to be one. Initially, she comes off as a fairly standard AlphaBitch-type, similar to Karen, and takes twisted delight in messing with Penny, Aggie, and their friends. This reaches a head when she [[spoiler:manipulates Stan into destroying his relationship with Brandi]] and is positively gleeful about it. She eventually cements her status as this by the end of the [[spoiler:Missing Person arc]]. [[spoiler:Right before the police rescue her from her kidnapper, Charlotte, Cyndi appears to show some remorse, and convinces Charlotte that they are NotSoDifferent. When Charlotte slits her own throat in grief, Cyndi reveals that she had already managed to free herself, and that her HeelRealization was just an act to get Charlotte to kill herself. Finally, after she is rescued, her parents reveal that the police managed to hack into her laptop during their search for her, and discovered her disturbing diary entries about how much she enjoys making other people suffer. They then tearfully apologize to her as they commit her to a mental hospital.]]

* Snadhy'rune, the closest thing ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' has to a BigBad, fits a lot of the criteria for sociopathy/psychopathy. Her defining character traits consist of the list mentioned at the top of the page, and one person on the forum [[http://forums.drowtales.com/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=18192 ran her through the Hare Psychopathy Checklist]] and found she hit nearly every point on the list, with the main ones she missed either covering periods of her life we haven't seen or that don't apply in context (i.e. drow do not get married so the "many short-term marital relationships" doesn't apply). She's effectively manipulated her lover [[spoiler:Mel'arnach Val'Sarghress]] to be totally emotionally dependent on her to the point that when [[spoiler:Mel's daughter]] is in a life threatening situation she freezes completely and can only say out loud that Snadhya will fix it, and it's strongly implied Snadhya views her as pet more than an equal. She keeps up a pretty effective MaskOfSanity for the public, but over the course of chapter 46 she gradually drops it until the absolutely cold-blooded way she [[spoiler:murders her own daughter Kalki]] clinches it. [[spoiler:Zhor]] also says that Snadhya's mother knew "the sickness in her daughter" which also heavily suggests that it's pathological.
