History Characters / GhostbustersFilmSeriesVillainsAndGhosts

* LeakingCanOfEvil: He was imprisoned within an orb, and only a human can release him. However, he is able to use his powers even while imprisoned, which he uses to do a lot of damage.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Upon materializing, they set their sights on Judge Hammer and the prosecutor due to having them sent to the chair.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: While both Garraka and Gozer are extra-dimensional [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]], Gozer was always evil while Garraka only became an OmnicidalManiac because he was betrayed by humans.

* ObviouslyEvil: Even discounting his sinsiter backstory, Vigo already looked sinister with his constant KubrikStare and dressing in threatening golden armor, but it becomes especially the case with his GameFace of a horned corpse-like form with black sclera and red irises.

* KnightOfCerebus: As serious as Gozer was, there was always an element of levity, such as their [[LovecraftLite decision to make their avatar a marshmallow mascot the size of a {{Kaiju}}]]. Once Garraka takes center stage, there is far less levity and his reaction to comedy is to just kill his targets rather than humor them.

* HarmlessFreezing: Implied to be intentional on Garraka part, but not for anything benevelant as it is him ripping souls from people bodies so they can't escape him even from death. Whether to add to his army or to torture his enemies for eternity is left to viewer interpretation.

* GrotesqueCute: [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ghostbusters/images/b/ba/GhostbustersFrozenEmpireInternationalTrailer01Sc043.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20240129175811 definitely fits the criteria]].

!!Possessor

* StarterVillain: Muncher conveniently lets its presence in the abandoned ore processing plant be known just as Phoebe finished her first test-fire of the repaired Proton Pack, allowing her to immediately start cutting her teeth wrangling ghosts with the Neutrona Wand... though Podcast flubs the trap deployment, allowing Muncher to escape. It then leads the new team on a merry chase through town where they finally bag Muncher using ECTO-1's pop-out gunner seat and the Remote Trap Vehicle.

* HarmlessFreezing: Implied to be intentional on Garraka, but not for anything benevelant as it is ripping souls from people bodies.

* KnightOfCerebus: As serious as Gozer was, there was always an element of levity, such as their [[LovecraftLite decision to make their avatar a marshmallow mascot the size of a Kaijuu]]. Once Garraka takes center stage, there is far less levity and his reaction to comedy is to just kill his targets rather than humor them.

!!Sewer Dragon

!!!'''Appears in:''' ''Film/GhostbustersFrozenEmpire'''

* TheDragon: Serves as this to Garrakka, first by attempting to steal a recording of the ancient chant needed to free him, and then by leading the assault on the firehouse in the climax.

* SitcomArchNemesis: To Ray; he really wanted to [[IncrediblyLamePun get her]] after scaring him.

* AnimateInanimateObjects: Is able to make anything it jumps into move like its alive. It even possesed one of the lion statues outside the Public Library, and Ecto-1.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: The way the new Ghostbusters catch him kickstarts Peck's renewed antagonism and Phoebe getting benched.

* AnIcePerson: He is able to freeze things at absolute zero.

* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler: Until the end, all what matters to Melody is that she moves on to the afterlife, even striking a deal with Garraka to do so, not caring that he would kill everyone else in the world until Phoebe points out that Garraka likely won't keep his word.]]

* KnightOfCerebus: As serious as Gozer was, there was always an element of levity, such as their [[LovecraftLite decision to make their avatar a marshellow mascot the size of a Kaijuu]]. Once Garraka takes center stage, there is far less levity and his reaction to comedy is to just kill his targets rather than humor them.

%%* KubrickStare

* MindOverMatter: On briefly corporeal emergence from his painting, he psychokinetically paralyses the Ghostbusters, and shifts two heavy crates to reach Oscar.

* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Was based on UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler, the inspiration for ''Literature/{{Dracula}}''. The account of his drawn-out chore of assassination and accusations of mysticism also seem like a nod to [[UsefulNotes/RasputinTheMadMonk Gregori Rasputin]].
%%* ObviouslyEvil
* OneWingedAngel: He eventually steps out of the painting in solid form. Outside, the joyous New Year singing neutralises the Mood Slime, which saps him of energy, and forces him back into the painting. In an apparent attempt to stay active, he warps into a thunderously growling horned corpse.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: The ''second'' the sphere containing Garraka is brought to Winston's Aquarium repurposed as ghost prison; ''every'' last one the usually rowdy ghosts inmates banging against their cells ''immedieately'' quiet down. Even the mini Stay-Puft kids, fragments of Gozer ''the Babylonian God of Destruction itself'', are frightened into submissive attention by the [[KillingIntent rage]] and sheer ''power'' of the horror trapped within it.
