History Characters / TheSmurfsVillains

* MeaningfulName: His name comes from the word 'vex', meaning 'make (someone) feel annoyed, frustrated, or worried'.

-> Creator/PaulWinchell - ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' cartoon show

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DonMessick - ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' cartoon show

-> Lenny Mark Irons [English dub] - ''The Smurfs 2021''

* DespairEventHorizon: The origin of her behavior was shown in "Chlorhydris' Lost Love", where the wizard she intended to marry never showed up at the altar on her wedding night.

* IJustWantToBeLoved: Gargamel was once on the verge of ''actually defeating'' the Smurfs, until Sassette said "I love you, Papi Gargamel" and meant it. He stopped, and broke down in tears.

** The Animated series also toys with an inversion. After Gargamel actually saves The Smurfs from certain extinction, by rescuing the Long Life Stone from falling into a volcano, he bemoans The Smurfs for being Ungrateful Bastards because he's stuck hanging by his threadbare robe over a lava pit, forgetting the fact that The Smurfs have neither the power nor the means to rescue him (and Papa Smurf actually thanked him), and their long history of SaveTheVillain on his behalf.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Hackus shows signs of being mentally challenged like incoherent speech, repetitively licking puddle water, randomly hugging people and doesn’t comprehend the fact Gargamel called him a “moron” when picking who should go and kidnap Smurfette. Not sure if having his tongue sticking out most the time is anything.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: A cat named after the angel of death.

* BalefulPolymorph: One of the many things he does to people who summon him without the password. Papa Smurf has his face filled with carrots growing out of it.

* StarCrossedLovers: With an unnamed lynx. Azrael falls in love with a lynx that escapes from an exotic animal caravan, thanks to the Smurfs (which she then tries to eat because they are mouse-sized and she's still a cat), and she falls in love with him, much to Gargamel's dismay, understandable as he's worried [[PerpetualPoverty about having another mouth to feed]], [[IllGirl especially a sick one]], but Azrael has to say goodbye to her as the two of them can't be together because the Smurf Forest is actually making her sick, and he can't go live in her native territory because he's a house cat, and he would die.

* MotiveDecay: In the comics, he initially tried to capture a Smurf because he needed Smurf essence to make the [[PhilosopherSStone Philosopher’s Stone]]. After they thwarted his attempt to capture one of them, he was bent on revenge. Afterwards, each subsequent failure fueling his grudge, spite turned into hate, and hate turned into obsession (see [[ItSPersonal It's personal]] above.

* {{Delinquents}}: The reason the magical school dumps him on Gargamel is because he's comitted many, many, petty crimes and offenses during his magical training, and the wizard's school got fed up with him, but couldn't simply expel him or lock him up.

[[WMG: Mummy]]

* CanonImmigrant: She started out as recurring character and originally exclusive to the HB series. Mummy was later incorporated into the comic series with the 2009 comic story ''Bathing Smurfs'' before returing to animation with the CGI series.

[[folder: Hogatha]]
[[quoteright:185:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Hogatha_6486.gif]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JanetWaldo - ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' cartoon show

An evil witch, obsessed with her looks despite being far from beautiful.

* CanonImmigrant: Hogatha started out as a character exclusive to the cartoon series, but managed to appear in a few official Smurf comics (mainly comics made after Peyo's death).
* BaldOfEvil: Though she wears a wig.
* BolivianArmyEnding: Several of her appearances ended with her in a supposedly irreversible position. In one episode she was erased from existence. In another she was left stuck in the form of a Smurf, with no way of knowing how to change back.
* GenderBender: Switches from female to male when she becomes a Smurf in "The Fake Smurf" (cartoon show only).
* MeaningfulName: Listen to her talk and you'll see why.
* MirrorCrackingUgly: Causes her mirror to break in "The Golden Smurf Award" when she had dry skin.
* VerbalTic: Her constant snorting.

[[folder: Lord Balthazar]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Keene Curtis - ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' cartoon show

Gargamel's godfather in the cartoon series.
[[quoteright:151:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lord_Balthazar_6525.gif]]

* BadBoss: He frequently mistreats and insults his RightHandCat Azrael.

* {{Determinator}}: When it comes to his schemes against the Smurfs.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Gargamel will stop at nothing to destroy the Smurfs... well, almost nothing, particularly if it involves grave harm to children or animals. In "[[ChristmasEpisode The Smurf's Christmas Special]]", he tried to break off his relationship with an evil Stranger after he announced he planned to take two children off on "[[AFateWorseThanDeath The Final Journey]]". In the episode "Puppy", Lord Balthazar -- in a quest to help him and Gargamel gain access to a magical locket that is around the dog's neck -- plans to behead the dog; this is an example of Gargamel realizing even he has standards he wouldn't cross in his own quest for power and destruction of the Smurfs.
** Though, it's debabatable of how disgusted Gargamel actually feels. Because few episodes later, Gargamel kidnaps same puppy (''Have You Smurfed Your Pet, Today?'') and plans on starving him to death.

* FourFingeredHands: In ''A Christmas Carol''.

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Emphasis on "ineffectual".
