* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'': The Ruins and [[spoiler:the True Lab]] don't have one single antagonist threatening us throughout the area, though the same cannot be said for the game's remaining areas:
** Snowdin: [[VillainyFreeVillain To stretch the limits of the word "villain"]], [[MinionWithAnFInEvil Papyrus]] constantly antagonizes the protagonist by sending out puzzles to solve, ending things with a fight at the end of Snowdin Town, with his older brother [[{{Troll}} Sans]] constantly by his side. That said, both of them are completely [[FriendlyEnemy friendly]] and goofy, with Sans specifically being chummy with the protagonist whenever Papyrus isn't around.
** Waterfall: [[DarkActionGirl Undyne]] is the Captain of the Royal Guard who is [[NoNonsenseNemesis dead set]] on murdering the protagonist to claim the final human soul needed to cross the Barrier; as Papyrus was ultimately just trying to impress her, she's also the GreaterScopeVillain of Snowdin. She is a silent, threatening KnightOfCerebus... until she takes off the helmet, revealing herself to be a gigantic LargeHam that is ''still'' dead-set on killing you.
** Hotland and the CORE: [[AIIsACrapshoot Mettaton]] is an entertainment robot created by Dr. Alphys that, due to past programming that wasn't fully removed, wants to brutally murder the protagonist as part of his various TV shows, sending out mercenary-monsters to kill them when he's not doing it himself. [[spoiler:Until it's revealed Mettaton has never gone "off-the-rails" at all: All of his encounters with the protagonist were staged so that Alphys could make herself look like a hero and convince the protagonist to stay in Hotland. Realising the protagonist is too weak to defeat Asgore, and that the king's genocidal intentions will definitely succeed if he doesn't step in, Mettaton ''actually'' goes off-the-rails by trying to steal the protagonist's soul for himself, saving humanity from extinction while becoming the greatest star of a whole new audience]].
** New Home: The game's BigBad, [[EvilOverlord King Asgore Dreemurr]] himself, the Underground's ruler who has been killing humans and stealing their souls for the sake of having enough to cross the Barrier seperating monsters from humand and [[FinalSolution exterminate the latter]]. [[spoiler:Until you actually meet him in person, and it's revealed he is a sad, depressed, and frankly ''pathetic'' man who is deeply remorseful about everything he's done, but believes he has to keep the promise he made to his people all those years ago, stalling his fight with the protagonist for as long as he can. When you defeat Asgore, ''[[StarterVillain Flowey]]'' reveals himself to be the game's true BigBad by stealing the human souls to become a god and show every creature alive "[[SocialDarwinist the true meaning of this world]]"; And this is all in the game's ''first'' ending, with the rest of Flowey's plans being revealed in the other endings]].
