The main villain of the Smurfs.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: On a small level, the live-action version has a full set of teeth compared to his comic book and animated counterparts.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the Live-Action films, he's a lot more threatening and dangerous compared to the comics and cartoon series.
* AngryFistShake: Expect Gargamel to give one to the Smurfs when his plans fail.
* ArchEnemy
* BadBoss: He frequently mistreats and insults his RightHandCat Azrael.
* BeardOfEvil: Attempts to grow one with [[NeverTrustAHairTonic a hair tonic]] in one episode. He only manages to wear a fake BeardOfEvil when passing himself off as another wizard in order to get Hogatha's bird call.
* BrilliantButLazy: He has shown on several occasions being a profound strategist, and when he actually puts in the effort, can be quite a scary opponent, once even having Mother Nature on the ropes, with her own wands. However, unless it's part of a scheme to go after the Smurfs, or save his own skin, he generally doesn't do anything requiring more than the smallest possible amount of effort. His home is in a perpetual state of dis-repair as a direct result.
* ButtMonkey: Nothing goes right for him, but he is too stubborn to give up.
* TheCameo: In a few comic book stories such as ''The Smurfs And The Howlibird'' and ''The Baby Smurf''.
* CatchPhrase: In the comics: "I'll get my revenge!" In the cartoons: "I'll get you, I'll get all of you if that's the last thing I ever do!"
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Seems to be a very capable wizard as many of his schemes seem to involve complex magic, such as turning a simple bell into a tracking device, creating another dimension within a mirror and even creating living beings out of clay. Apart from his magical skills, he also displays some inventive skills, as he easily creates a flying machine amongst other things. If he wasn't so fixated on defeating the Smurfs, he might be able to make serious money selling his magic and inventions to other people. Unfortunately, several episodes show that even if he somehow comes into wealth, his own family would clean him out, or he's completely helpless against bandits because... (see below.)
* {{Determinator}}: When it comes to his schemes against the Smurfs.
* DirtyCoward: He will run from or try to appease anyone that is not smaller than knee high to him, unless he's absolutely certain he has the magical or tactical advantage, and sometimes even then. The only reason he's not afraid of the Smurfs is because each of them is less than 1/10th his size and even in numbers can't effectively hurt him unless he gets HoistByHisOwnPetard.
* TheDreaded: Among the Smurfs, many of which usually panic and try to run away whenever they encounter him (though they won't hesitate to fight back if the situation calls for it). In one episode, Brainy Smurf even refers to Gargamel as "the dreaded man of the forest".
* EnemyMine: Occasionally helps the Smurfs whenever there's a threat to both their existences, such as in ''The Gambler Smurfs'' when a gambling count wants to turn the Smurf Forest into his own gaming complex.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: If you're going to mess with Azrael, you had better have insane levels of plot armor, The Smurfs, be nigh invulnerable, Nemesis, or have several artifacts of doom in your arsenal because the one thing that motivates Gargamel more than getting {{Revenge}}, is Azrael's well being, as Balthazar found out, first hand.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: His godfather Balthazar isn't afraid to cross some moral boundaries with what he wants to do with the Smurfs that would give Gargamel himself some pause in crossing.
* EvilIsHammy: Even more so in the live-action movie.
* EvilLaugh: What's Gargamel without this?
* EvilSorcerer: Constantly referred to as such, though he's just as much of an [[AlchemyIsMagic alchemist]].
* EvilTastesGood: Gargamel goes on about how delicious Smurfs must be despite never actually eating one.
* EvilWearsBlack
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Gargamel's plans are always doomed to fail.
* FinalBoss: In ''VideoGame/TheSmurfs1994'' and ''VideoGame/TheSmurfs2''.
* FourFingeredHands: In ''A Christmas Carol''.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Played with, and this trope colliding with FailureIsTheOnlyOption more than justifies the "lazy" part of BrilliantButLazy, and adds the "sympathetic" to IneffectualSympatheticVillain. The more effort Gargamel puts into a plan, the more it simultaneously has both more unqualified success on paper, and catastrophic failure in practice. He once spent an entire episode calculating where a rainbow would end so he could get the pot of gold, and it would have succeeded too, except the Leprechaun had to use his gold to make the "yellow" of the rainbow due to the Smurfs, being tasked by Mother Nature to make the rainbow, not having enough yellow paint, and this is one of the more benign examples.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: In addition to the entry above, there have been several occasions where Gargamel has tried his hand at honest work, and was actually willing to put aside his obsession with the Smurfs. The Smurfs would either directly, or indirectly be responsible for thwarting each and every one of them.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Gargamel usually gets done in by the very schemes he uses against the Smurfs.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Gargamel was once on the virge of ''actually defeating'' the Smurfs, untill Sassette said "I love you, Papi Gargamel" and meant it. He stopped, and broke down in tears.
* ILied: He isn't afraid to break promises that he has no intention of ever keeping.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Emphasis on "ineffectual".
* ItsPersonal: Gargamel originally wanted to capture Smurfs because of their singing and cheery attitude, (in the cartoon at least) which annoys him, especially since they saw nothing wrong with singing '''loudly''' right outside his window, to troll him. Stealing Balthazar's book taught him that they could be used as a philosopher's stone for transmuting metals (or Smurfs themselves) into gold, or grant immortality by eating them. Numerous failures, and humiliations have made ''{{Revenge}}'' his primary motivation, however. Filling his stomach or getting rich by hunting Smurfs is often an afterthought.
* IWantMyMommy: Does this a few times in the cartoons.
* LaughablyEvil
* LukeIAmYourFather: Inversion: He does not like the fact that Sassette (a second female Smurf created using his Smurfette formula) calls him "Pappy Gargamel" in the cartoon show. Though in the live-action movie series, he does try to sway Smurfette's heart to his side by calling her "his daughter".
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: During Laconia's wedding, Gargamel use his Ghoulliope to magically ensnare all the Smurfs, including all the wedding guests. [[OneSceneWonder For a very brief moment, Gargamel prove he was the scariest villain of the show by dominating all under his thumb.]] [[NearVillainVictory That is until Laconia, who was immune to the machine's effects, destroyed it with the help of the Smurfette.]]
* OhMyGods: Invokes the name of Beelzebub or the devil a few times.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: He delivers an epic one right before delivering a magical NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Balthazar.
---> '''Gargamel''': "He is MY FRIEND!"
* RightMakesMight: In the animated version, on those rare instances when he acts in a noble and just manner, he is far more powerful, and importantly ''more competent'' than he normally is. While coming to the aid of the Smurfs, he has thwarted Nemesis, ''twice'', has delivered a beatdown on Balthazar while protecting Azrael, and has surmounted challenges that other characters consider an ImpossibleTask. Unfortunately, since StatusQuoIsGod, circumstances always intervene in such a way as to prevent him from turning away from evil completely.
* SaveTheVillain: Sometimes the Smurfs have to save him from danger or from his own villainy.
* ScaryTeeth: Mostly appears with only one top tooth in the comic books and the cartoon show; ''The Legend Of Smurfy Hollow'' gives us a nice close-up view of a few more teeth.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: In ''The Smurfs 2''.
* SeniorCreep: It's obvious he's not a particularly attractive and friendly old man, and other characters [[LampshadeHanging called him ugly]] multiple times. Alternately, he could just be looking older than his actual age, placing him at early middle age at the very least. His mother in the cartoon series is more befitting of this trope.
* SignificantBirthDate: Halloween in the cartoon series.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Mild form, but in later comics (specially post-Peyo) he eventually shows up in just about every single story, usually accompanied by Azrael -- even stories where they have no role to play and don't fit within the plot. It's actually {{Lampshaded}} in the comic book version of ''The Baby Smurf'', where they show up on one page to attack one of the Smurfs out looking for Grouchy and Baby -- only to be shooed off by the annoyed Smurf who tells them that there's no room for them in this story.
* TakenForGranite: Was turned into a statue along with his cat in one episode, but Papa Smurf [[SaveTheVillain restored him to normal]].
* TheUnfought: In ''VideoGame/SmurfRescueInGargamelsCastle'', where he actually doesn't appear.
* UngratefulBastard: Despite many a SaveTheVillain moment by the Smurfs, he never returns the favor and is still plotting his revenge against them.
** The Animated series offers a notable subversion in the series run at some point between the introduction of Balthazar and the introduction of Scruple. While Gargamel doesn't actually come out and thank the Smurfs, he does come damn close. After Balthazar mortally wounds Azrael (as collateral damage the second time he goes after The Smurfs), The Smurfs, instead of fleeing for their lives, actually tend to the cat's wounds, and save his life, while Gargamel is giving Balthazar a well-deserved, magical NoHoldsBarredBeatdown for doing so, ''and treating it as something unimportant.'' Once Balthazar has fled in terror, it would seem that, once again, Gargamel would go after The Smurfs. To the surprise of '''everyone''', Gargamel actually calls off Azrael, picks up the very confused cat, makes up an excuse, and walks away.
** 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.
* VillainousBSOD: His evil plans are sometimes stopped by this. The most notable occasion is when Sassette says she loves him, and he breaks down in tears.
* VillainousValor: He actually risks his own life to come to the Smurf's rescue ''once''. He immediately regrets it afterwards. It's not entirely clear if even he knows why he did it. There are several good theories. The most prominent of them are that either 1.) He was doing so as part of an EnemyMine alliance against Nemesis. 2.) He was planning to steal the Smurf's treasure afterwards. 3.) A momentary pang of either pity or TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou towards the Smurfs, or some combination of the above.
* VillainSong: Has one that he sings on occasion, plus a few in certain episodes like "The Blue Plague" song that is based on a similar villain song from ''WesternAnimation/YogisFirstChristmas''.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: In ''Film/TheSmurfs2''.
* WouldHurtAChild: Even Baby Smurf is not immune to Gargamel's evil plans when it suits him. He also has a habit of beating up Scruple on occasion.
* YouNeedToGetLaid: When the Smurfs overhears Gargamel's laments that he wish he had a lover, they secretly try to hook him up with a girlfriend so he'll stop chasing them. Things don't go too well because Gargamel has NoSocialSkills and eventually StatusQuoIsGod settles in.

[[folder: Azrael]]
[[WMG: Azrael]] [[quoteright:294:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Azrael_6993.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DonMessick - ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' cartoon show
->Creator/FrankWelker - ''Film/TheSmurfs'' movie, ''Film/TheSmurfs2'', ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsAChristmasCarol'' & ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsTheLegendOfSmurfyHollow''
->'''Portrayed by:''' Mr. Krinkle - ''Film/TheSmurfs'' movie & ''Film/TheSmurfs2''
Gargamel's scruffy and much put-down-upon cat.
* AmbiguousGender: In the comics, at least. The cartoon on several occasions distinctly refers to the cat as male -- [[ViewerGenderConfusion not that this has stopped fans from speculating.]] Averted in the Mexican Spanish dub, as Azrael is always addressed as male. In the Italian dub, however, Azrael is a female cat named [[DubNameChange Birba.]]
* AdaptationalBadass: He along with Gargamel are a lot more threatening and dangerous in the Live-Action films. Azrael is even given his own scene in the first film during the climax.
* ButtMonkey: Often abused by Gargamel and/or humiliated along with Gargamel.
* CatsAreMean: He's just as gung-ho about catching Smurfs as Gargamel is, and is often seen licking his chops hungrily whenever Smurfs are mentioned.
* EarNotch: In the [[Film/TheSmurfs live-action movie]], it is even shown how he gets it.
* RightHandAttackDog: He could be at first glance thought off as a mere RightHandCat to Gargamel. But since the Smurfs are so small, Azrael is a very physical threat and ends up chasing them quite often, putting him right into this trope instead.
* SilentSnarker: Since he's a cat, he can't actually speak -- but in both cartoon and live-action movie his meows are so speech-like that it's often easy to guess from his tone exactly what he's saying, and what he's saying is quite often something degradatory about Gargamel.
* 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.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Gargamel. Yes, he may snark. Yes, he may get caught in the collateral damage that results from Gargamel's attempts on the Smurfs. Yes, Gargamel's not a very pleasant master, but Gargamel's the best owner Azrael has ever had, and should anyone (other than the Smurfs) ever mess with Azrael, Gargamel will temporarily forget the "ineffectual" of IneffectualSympatheticVillain and go to war. Note that Gargamel on the warpath is terrifying. Also, while Gargamel WILL kick Scruple on occasion, he has ''never'' laid a hand on Azrael unkindly.

[[folder: Scruple]]
[[WMG: Scruple]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Brenda Vaccaro - ''The Smurfs'' cartoon show
Gargamel's apprentice, a BrattyHalfPint who was more or less dumped onto the evil wizard after he was kicked out of sorcerer's school for causing trouble with the teachers. He helps Gargamel out with his plans, though is often less than enthusiastic about it.
* BrattyHalfPint
* CaptainErsatz: Would have had one in Jeanty from the comic book story "A Child Among The Smurfs", but he changed his mind.
* CrossDressingVoice: Brenda Vaccaro in the cartoon show.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like Azrael, he doesn't think much of Gargamel's intelligence. ''Unlike'' Azrael, he can clearly let Gargamel know in exact words what he thinks.
* {{Delinquents}}: The reason the magical school dumps him on Gargamel is because he's comitteed 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.
* IronicName: Despite being called Scruple, he doesn't appear to have any.
* TheNicknamer: He always calls Gargamel "Gargie," much to the latter's annoyance.
* {{Revenge}}: His primary motivation. He wants to destroy the sorcerer's school for dumping him on Gargamel, and eventually grows to hate the Smurfs as well because every time Gargamel's plans fail, he winds up taking the blame.

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

Gargamel's godfather in the cartoon series.
[[quoteright:151:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lord_Balthazar_6525.gif]]
* AbusiveParents: He is the godfather of Gargamel. Gargamel being afraid of him is an indicator their relationship is not a good one. And when both characters are on screen, Balthazar is almost always belittling Gargamel.
* AristocratsAreEvil: "Lord" Balthazar indicates some kind of noble title, and he's more evil than Gargamel.
* BeardOfEvil: Or to be more precise, Chin Spike Of Evil.
* BiggerBad: Balthazar seems to be more competent and threatening than Gargamel, to the point the latter shivers when mentioning Balthazar's name.
* HighCollarOfDoom
* ILied: He isn't afraid to break promises that he has no intention of ever keeping.
* KnightOfCerebus: His evil plans appear to be much more of a threat to the Smurfs than Gargamel's. In his first appearance, he shot a little duckling Smurfette adopted with his blunderbuss. If it wasn't for the help of Mother Nature, said duckling would have died.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Upon his introduction in the animated series, when he goes after The Smurfs the first time, after Gargamel accidentally made him realize they actually exist by stealing Balthazar's book, he backs off because Papa Smurf confronts him with an army of forest animals, all quite angry because Balthazar was carelessly shooting up their homes. Realizing he would run out of ammunition ''long'' before he ran out of enemies, he fled, dragging Gargamel (who was only there because he was dragged along, by force) with him.
* LeeroyJenkins: While Gargamel's plans are all doomed to failure, Gargamel ''does'' make plans and carefully consider his options before acting. The same can not be said of Balthazar. On his very introduction, after coming to the conclusion that Smurfs must exist because Gargamel stole his book about them, his "plan" basically boils down to "grab Gargamel, make him tell me where the Smurfs are, shoot at The Smurfs." The second encounter wasn't much better.
* MageMarksman: He isn't above using weapons such as muskets and crossbows in addition to magic against the Smurfs if it suits his purpose.
* MilesGloriosus: The one time Gargamel stood up to him, the roles very quickly reversed...

[[folder: Nemesis]]
The most evil character in the franchise, bar none. Perhaps the most evil character Hanna-Barbera has ever made in any work as all other Hanna-Barbera villains have standards while Nemesis has none. He began life as a rather handsome wizard, but after attempting to steal a powerful artifact, which would have brought grievous consequences to a great many people, if not the whole world, he was cursed to have his outer appearance match his inner personality. Hideous, twisted, and cruel, he cares only about his own power, wealth, and attempting to alleviate his condition, no matter how slightly regardless of the cost to others. He is introduced trying to steal the Smurfs' Long Life Stone, dooming the entire race to extinction, purely for the sake of eliminating his hiccups.
* AllYourPowersCombined: He wears a magic ring that allows him to steal magic and spells from any spell book. The more powerful and evil, the better.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Ultimately played straight with extreme prejudice.
* BodyHorror: Heavy emphasis on the "horror" part. The audience is never treated to the true extent of his magically inflicted deformity, but it completely horrifies any other character who looks upon it. This is something Nemesis has ''weaponized.''
* {{Depower}}: [[spoiler: This ultimately happens when Papa Smurf tricks him into absorbing a cooking book that Brainy mistakenly thought was Papa Smurf's mightiest spell book. This caused all the spells and powers he previously stole to rebel and flee for their lives.]]
* TheDreaded: Everybody in the Smurf's universe fears him, and with good reason.
* EvilIsHammy: He just loves to talk. His powers are so great that he can justify TalkingIsAFreeAction.
* EvilIsPetty: He was willing to exterminate an entire race to cure hiccups!
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The only part of his face the audience ever sees.
* HandicappedBadass: He needs a cane to walk, yet he can, and has, curbstomped the most powerful mages in the Smurfs world setting, including Papa Smurf and Gargamel simultaneously.
* InTheHood: He wears a hooded cloak, for very good reason.
* IWasQuiteTheLooker: Once upon a time, he was quite handsome, in-universe.
* LargeHam: Not only does he talk big, he makes grand entrances and exits too.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name is ''Nemesis'' and it fits.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in two episodes, yet in those episodes, he completely changed the course of the story and the world setting.
* TheUnreveal: Although he does lower his hood, on occasion, the audience only gets to see the back of his head. Note that this is a good thing. Other characters that actually see his face are immediately struck with uncontrollable terror, regardless of personal bravery, with the sole exception of Clockwork Smurf who, while disgusted, was immune thanks to his HeartOfGold.
* VerbalTic: Invoked. He is magically compelled to end every sentence with a hiccup, much to his annoyance.

[[folder: Genie Meanie]]
A rather obnoxious genie that can only be summoned from his bottle for one day after over a century of dormancy, before returning to dormancy, for another extended period of time. He will return to dormancy at exactly sunset even if he's in a conversation with his summoner. Further, anyone who is unfortunate enough to summon him, even by accident, but doesn't know the proper password has something highly unpleasant happen to him. Those who ''do'' know the password get three wishes, which he will be reluctant to grant, and no more.
* 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.
* BlessedWithSuck: You'd think being able to summon a genie with phenomenal power would be a good thing. Not with this guy.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He's a genie, and he's mean.
* ExactWords: Be extra careful when using one of the three wishes he grants you as he ''will'' do ''exactly'' what the wish says, in the most unpleasant interpretation.
* JerkassGenie: He embodies this trope.
* SealedEvilInACan: His ultimate fate.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in one episode, but is directly responsible for one of the very rare occasions when Gargamel actually sets foot in the Smurf Village.

The main villain of the Smurfs.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: On a small level, the live-action version has a full set of teeth compared to his comic book and animated counterparts.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the Live-Action films, he's a lot more threatening and dangerous compared to the comics and cartoon series.
* AngryFistShake: Expect Gargamel to give one to the Smurfs when his plans fail.
* ArchEnemy
* BadBoss: He frequently mistreats and insults his RightHandCat Azrael.
* BeardOfEvil: Attempts to grow one with [[NeverTrustAHairTonic a hair tonic]] in one episode. He only manages to wear a fake BeardOfEvil when passing himself off as another wizard in order to get Hogatha's bird call.
* BrilliantButLazy: He has shown on several occasions being a profound strategist, and when he actually puts in the effort, can be quite a scary opponent, once even having Mother Nature on the ropes, with her own wands. However, unless it's part of a scheme to go after the Smurfs, or save his own skin, he generally doesn't do anything requiring more than the smallest possible amount of effort. His home is in a perpetual state of dis-repair as a direct result.
* ButtMonkey: Nothing goes right for him, but he is too stubborn to give up.
* TheCameo: In a few comic book stories such as ''The Smurfs And The Howlibird'' and ''The Baby Smurf''.
* CatchPhrase: In the comics: "I'll get my revenge!" In the cartoons: "I'll get you, I'll get all of you if that's the last thing I ever do!"
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Seems to be a very capable wizard as many of his schemes seem to involve complex magic, such as turning a simple bell into a tracking device, creating another dimension within a mirror and even creating living beings out of clay. Apart from his magical skills, he also displays some inventive skills, as he easily creates a flying machine amongst other things. If he wasn't so fixated on defeating the Smurfs, he might be able to make serious money selling his magic and inventions to other people. Unfortunately, several episodes show that even if he somehow comes into wealth, his own family would clean him out, or he's completely helpless against bandits because... (see below.)
* {{Determinator}}: When it comes to his schemes against the Smurfs.
* DirtyCoward: He will run from or try to appease anyone that is not smaller than knee high to him, unless he's absolutely certain he has the magical or tactical advantage, and sometimes even then. The only reason he's not afraid of the Smurfs is because each of them is less than 1/10th his size and even in numbers can't effectively hurt him unless he gets HoistByHisOwnPetard.
* TheDreaded: Among the Smurfs, many of which usually panic and try to run away whenever they encounter him (though they won't hesitate to fight back if the situation calls for it). In one episode, Brainy Smurf even refers to Gargamel as "the dreaded man of the forest".
* EnemyMine: Occasionally helps the Smurfs whenever there's a threat to both their existences, such as in ''The Gambler Smurfs'' when a gambling count wants to turn the Smurf Forest into his own gaming complex.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: If you're going to mess with Azrael, you had better have insane levels of plot armor, The Smurfs, be nigh invulnerable, Nemesis, or have several artifacts of doom in your arsenal because the one thing that motivates Gargamel more than getting {{Revenge}}, is Azrael's well being, as Balthazar found out, first hand.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: His godfather Balthazar isn't afraid to cross some moral boundaries with what he wants to do with the Smurfs that would give Gargamel himself some pause in crossing.
* EvilIsHammy: Even more so in the live-action movie.
* EvilLaugh: What's Gargamel without this?
* EvilSorcerer: Constantly referred to as such, though he's just as much of an [[AlchemyIsMagic alchemist]].
* EvilTastesGood: Gargamel goes on about how delicious Smurfs must be despite never actually eating one.
* EvilWearsBlack
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Gargamel's plans are always doomed to fail.
* FinalBoss: In ''VideoGame/TheSmurfs1994'' and ''VideoGame/TheSmurfs2''.
* FourFingeredHands: In ''A Christmas Carol''.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Played with, and this trope colliding with FailureIsTheOnlyOption more than justifies the "lazy" part of BrilliantButLazy, and adds the "sympathetic" to IneffectualSympatheticVillain. The more effort Gargamel puts into a plan, the more it simultaneously has both more unqualified success on paper, and catastrophic failure in practice. He once spent an entire episode calculating where a rainbow would end so he could get the pot of gold, and it would have succeeded too, except the Leprechaun had to use his gold to make the "yellow" of the rainbow due to the Smurfs, being tasked by Mother Nature to make the rainbow, not having enough yellow paint, and this is one of the more benign examples.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: In addition to the entry above, there have been several occasions where Gargamel has tried his hand at honest work, and was actually willing to put aside his obsession with the Smurfs. The Smurfs would either directly, or indirectly be responsible for thwarting each and every one of them.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Gargamel usually gets done in by the very schemes he uses against the Smurfs.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Gargamel was once on the virge of ''actually defeating'' the Smurfs, untill Sassette said "I love you, Papi Gargamel" and meant it. He stopped, and broke down in tears.
* ILied: He isn't afraid to break promises that he has no intention of ever keeping.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Emphasis on "ineffectual".
* ItsPersonal: Gargamel originally wanted to capture Smurfs because of their singing and cheery attitude, (in the cartoon at least) which annoys him, especially since they saw nothing wrong with singing '''loudly''' right outside his window, to troll him. Stealing Balthazar's book taught him that they could be used as a philosopher's stone for transmuting metals (or Smurfs themselves) into gold, or grant immortality by eating them. Numerous failures, and humiliations have made ''{{Revenge}}'' his primary motivation, however. Filling his stomach or getting rich by hunting Smurfs is often an afterthought.
* IWantMyMommy: Does this a few times in the cartoons.
* LaughablyEvil
* LukeIAmYourFather: Inversion: He does not like the fact that Sassette (a second female Smurf created using his Smurfette formula) calls him "Pappy Gargamel" in the cartoon show. Though in the live-action movie series, he does try to sway Smurfette's heart to his side by calling her "his daughter".
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: During Laconia's wedding, Gargamel use his Ghoulliope to magically ensnare all the Smurfs, including all the wedding guests. [[OneSceneWonder For a very brief moment, Gargamel prove he was the scariest villain of the show by dominating all under his thumb.]] [[NearVillainVictory That is until Laconia, who was immune to the machine's effects, destroyed it with the help of the Smurfette.]]
* OhMyGods: Invokes the name of Beelzebub or the devil a few times.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: He delivers an epic one right before delivering a magical NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Balthazar.
---> '''Gargamel''': "He is MY FRIEND!"
* RightMakesMight: In the animated version, on those rare instances when he acts in a noble and just manner, he is far more powerful, and importantly ''more competent'' than he normally is. While coming to the aid of the Smurfs, he has thwarted Nemesis, ''twice'', has delivered a beatdown on Balthazar while protecting Azrael, and has surmounted challenges that other characters consider an ImpossibleTask. Unfortunately, since StatusQuoIsGod, circumstances always intervene in such a way as to prevent him from turning away from evil completely.
* SaveTheVillain: Sometimes the Smurfs have to save him from danger or from his own villainy.
* ScaryTeeth: Mostly appears with only one top tooth in the comic books and the cartoon show; ''The Legend Of Smurfy Hollow'' gives us a nice close-up view of a few more teeth.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: In ''The Smurfs 2''.
* SeniorCreep: It's obvious he's not a particularly attractive and friendly old man, and other characters [[LampshadeHanging called him ugly]] multiple times. Alternately, he could just be looking older than his actual age, placing him at early middle age at the very least. His mother in the cartoon series is more befitting of this trope.
* SignificantBirthDate: Halloween in the cartoon series.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Mild form, but in later comics (specially post-Peyo) he eventually shows up in just about every single story, usually accompanied by Azrael -- even stories where they have no role to play and don't fit within the plot. It's actually {{Lampshaded}} in the comic book version of ''The Baby Smurf'', where they show up on one page to attack one of the Smurfs out looking for Grouchy and Baby -- only to be shooed off by the annoyed Smurf who tells them that there's no room for them in this story.
* TakenForGranite: Was turned into a statue along with his cat in one episode, but Papa Smurf [[SaveTheVillain restored him to normal]].
* TheUnfought: In ''VideoGame/SmurfRescueInGargamelsCastle'', where he actually doesn't appear.
* UngratefulBastard: Despite many a SaveTheVillain moment by the Smurfs, he never returns the favor and is still plotting his revenge against them.
** The Animated series offers a notable subversion in the series run at some point between the introduction of Balthazar and the introduction of Scruple. While Gargamel doesn't actually come out and thank the Smurfs, he does come damn close. After Balthazar mortally wounds Azrael (as collateral damage the second time he goes after The Smurfs), The Smurfs, instead of fleeing for their lives, actually tend to the cat's wounds, and save his life, while Gargamel is giving Balthazar a well-deserved, magical NoHoldsBarredBeatdown for doing so, ''and treating it as something unimportant.'' Once Balthazar has fled in terror, it would seem that, once again, Gargamel would go after The Smurfs. To the surprise of '''everyone''', Gargamel actually calls off Azrael, picks up the very confused cat, makes up an excuse, and walks away.
** 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.
* VillainousBSOD: His evil plans are sometimes stopped by this. The most notable occasion is when Sassette says she loves him, and he breaks down in tears.
* VillainousValor: He actually risks his own life to come to the Smurf's rescue ''once''. He immediately regrets it afterwards. It's not entirely clear if even he knows why he did it. There are several good theories. The most prominent of them are that either 1.) He was doing so as part of an EnemyMine alliance against Nemesis. 2.) He was planning to steal the Smurf's treasure afterwards. 3.) A momentary pang of either pity or TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou towards the Smurfs, or some combination of the above.
* VillainSong: Has one that he sings on occasion, plus a few in certain episodes like "The Blue Plague" song that is based on a similar villain song from ''WesternAnimation/YogisFirstChristmas''.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: In ''Film/TheSmurfs2''.
* WouldHurtAChild: Even Baby Smurf is not immune to Gargamel's evil plans when it suits him. He also has a habit of beating up Scruple on occasion.
* YouNeedToGetLaid: When the Smurfs overhears Gargamel's laments that he wish he had a lover, they secretly try to hook him up with a girlfriend so he'll stop chasing them. Things don't go too well because Gargamel has NoSocialSkills and eventually StatusQuoIsGod settles in.

[[folder: Azrael]]
[[WMG: Azrael]] [[quoteright:294:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Azrael_6993.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DonMessick - ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' cartoon show
->Creator/FrankWelker - ''Film/TheSmurfs'' movie, ''Film/TheSmurfs2'', ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsAChristmasCarol'' & ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsTheLegendOfSmurfyHollow''
->'''Portrayed by:''' Mr. Krinkle - ''Film/TheSmurfs'' movie & ''Film/TheSmurfs2''
Gargamel's scruffy and much put-down-upon cat.
* AmbiguousGender: In the comics, at least. The cartoon on several occasions distinctly refers to the cat as male -- [[ViewerGenderConfusion not that this has stopped fans from speculating.]] Averted in the Mexican Spanish dub, as Azrael is always addressed as male. In the Italian dub, however, Azrael is a female cat named [[DubNameChange Birba.]]
* AdaptationalBadass: He along with Gargamel are a lot more threatening and dangerous in the Live-Action films. Azrael is even given his own scene in the first film during the climax.
* ButtMonkey: Often abused by Gargamel and/or humiliated along with Gargamel.
* CatsAreMean: He's just as gung-ho about catching Smurfs as Gargamel is, and is often seen licking his chops hungrily whenever Smurfs are mentioned.
* EarNotch: In the [[Film/TheSmurfs live-action movie]], it is even shown how he gets it.
* RightHandAttackDog: He could be at first glance thought off as a mere RightHandCat to Gargamel. But since the Smurfs are so small, Azrael is a very physical threat and ends up chasing them quite often, putting him right into this trope instead.
* SilentSnarker: Since he's a cat, he can't actually speak -- but in both cartoon and live-action movie his meows are so speech-like that it's often easy to guess from his tone exactly what he's saying, and what he's saying is quite often something degradatory about Gargamel.
* 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.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Gargamel. Yes, he may snark. Yes, he may get caught in the collateral damage that results from Gargamel's attempts on the Smurfs. Yes, Gargamel's not a very pleasant master, but Gargamel's the best owner Azrael has ever had, and should anyone (other than the Smurfs) ever mess with Azrael, Gargamel will temporarily forget the "ineffectual" of IneffectualSympatheticVillain and go to war. Note that Gargamel on the warpath is terrifying. Also, while Gargamel WILL kick Scruple on occasion, he has ''never'' laid a hand on Azrael unkindly.

[[folder: Scruple]]
[[WMG: Scruple]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Brenda Vaccaro - ''The Smurfs'' cartoon show
Gargamel's apprentice, a BrattyHalfPint who was more or less dumped onto the evil wizard after he was kicked out of sorcerer's school for causing trouble with the teachers. He helps Gargamel out with his plans, though is often less than enthusiastic about it.
* BrattyHalfPint
* CaptainErsatz: Would have had one in Jeanty from the comic book story "A Child Among The Smurfs", but he changed his mind.
* CrossDressingVoice: Brenda Vaccaro in the cartoon show.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like Azrael, he doesn't think much of Gargamel's intelligence. ''Unlike'' Azrael, he can clearly let Gargamel know in exact words what he thinks.
* {{Delinquents}}: The reason the magical school dumps him on Gargamel is because he's comitteed 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.
* IronicName: Despite being called Scruple, he doesn't appear to have any.
* TheNicknamer: He always calls Gargamel "Gargie," much to the latter's annoyance.
* {{Revenge}}: His primary motivation. He wants to destroy the sorcerer's school for dumping him on Gargamel, and eventually grows to hate the Smurfs as well because every time Gargamel's plans fail, he winds up taking the blame.

->'''Voiced by:''' Janet Waldo - ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' cartoon show
An evil witch, obsessed with her looks despite being far from beautiful.
* 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 the 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:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lord_Balthazar_6525.gif]]
* AbusiveParents: He is the godfather of Gargamel. Gargamel being afraid of him is an indicator their relationship is not a good one. And when both characters are on screen, Balthazar is almost always belittling Gargamel.
* AristocratsAreEvil: "Lord" Balthazar indicates some kind of noble title, and he's more evil than Gargamel.
* BeardOfEvil: Or to be more precise, Chin Spike Of Evil.
* BiggerBad: Balthazar seems to be more competent and threatening than Gargamel, to the point the latter shivers when mentioning Balthazar's name.
* HighCollarOfDoom
* ILied: He isn't afraid to break promises that he has no intention of ever keeping.
* KnightOfCerebus: His evil plans appear to be much more of a threat to the Smurfs than Gargamel's. In his first appearance, he shot a little duckling Smurfette adopted with his blunderbuss. If it wasn't for the help of Mother Nature, said duckling would have died.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Upon his introduction in the animated series, when he goes after The Smurfs the first time, after Gargamel accidentally made him realize they actually exist by stealing Balthazar's book, he backs off because Papa Smurf confronts him with an army of forest animals, all quite angry because Balthazar was carelessly shooting up their homes. Realizing he would run out of ammunition ''long'' before he ran out of enemies, he fled, dragging Gargamel (who was only there because he was dragged along, by force) with him.
* LeeroyJenkins: While Gargamel's plans are all doomed to failure, Gargamel ''does'' make plans and carefully consider his options before acting. The same can not be said of Balthazar. On his very introduction, after coming to the conclusion that Smurfs must exist because Gargamel stole his book about them, his "plan" basically boils down to "grab Gargamel, make him tell me where the Smurfs are, shoot at The Smurfs." The second encounter wasn't much better.
* MageMarksman: He isn't above using weapons such as muskets and crossbows in addition to magic against the Smurfs if it suits his purpose.
* MilesGloriosus: The one time Gargamel stood up to him, the roles very quickly reversed...

->'''Voiced by:''' Amanda [=McBroom=] - ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' cartoon show
An evil witch, who mostly wants to make the world as miserable as she is.
* 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.
* HighCollarOfDoom
* MeaningfulName: Reverse the two main parts of the word and you'll see that it's a play on the term "hydrochloric acid", which is a corrosive.
* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler: The episode "Chlorhydris' Lost Love" - her fiance returns to her, but he accidentally sits on the arrows of hate she created, and they turn his love for her into hatred, causing him to abandon her once more]].

->'''Voiced by:''' J.B. Smoove - ''Film/TheSmurfs2''
A male Naughty created by Gargamel.
* 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.

[[folder: Nemesis]]
The most evil character in the franchise, bar none. Perhaps the most evil character Hanna-Barbera has ever made in any work as all other Hanna-Barbera villains have standards while Nemesis has none. He began life as a rather handsome wizard, but after attempting to steal a powerful artifact, which would have brought grievous consequences to a great many people, if not the whole world, he was cursed to have his outer appearance match his inner personality. Hideous, twisted, and cruel, he cares only about his own power, wealth, and attempting to alleviate his condition, no matter how slightly regardless of the cost to others. He is introduced trying to steal the Smurfs' Long Life Stone, dooming the entire race to extinction, purely for the sake of eliminating his hiccups.
* AllYourPowersCombined: He wears a magic ring that allows him to steal magic and spells from any spell book. The more powerful and evil, the better.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Ultimately played straight with extreme prejudice.
* BodyHorror: Heavy emphasis on the "horror" part. The audience is never treated to the true extent of his magically inflicted deformity, but it completely horrifies any other character who looks upon it. This is something Nemesis has ''weaponized.''
* {{Depower}}: [[spoiler: This ultimately happens when Papa Smurf tricks him into absorbing a cooking book that Brainy mistakenly thought was Papa Smurf's mightiest spell book. This caused all the spells and powers he previously stole to rebel and flee for their lives.]]
* TheDreaded: Everybody in the Smurf's universe fears him, and with good reason.
* EvilIsHammy: He just loves to talk. His powers are so great that he can justify TalkingIsAFreeAction.
* EvilIsPetty: He was willing to exterminate an entire race to cure hiccups!
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The only part of his face the audience ever sees.
* HandicappedBadass: He needs a cane to walk, yet he can, and has, curbstomped the most powerful mages in the Smurfs world setting, including Papa Smurf and Gargamel simultaneously.
* InTheHood: He wears a hooded cloak, for very good reason.
* IWasQuiteTheLooker: Once upon a time, he was quite handsome, in-universe.
* LargeHam: Not only does he talk big, he makes grand entrances and exits too.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name is ''Nemesis'' and it fits.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in two episodes, yet in those episodes, he completely changed the course of the story and the world setting.
* TheUnreveal: Although he does lower his hood, on occasion, the audience only gets to see the back of his head. Note that this is a good thing. Other characters that actually see his face are immediately struck with uncontrollable terror, regardless of personal bravery, with the sole exception of Clockwork Smurf who, while disgusted, was immune thanks to his HeartOfGold.
* VerbalTic: Invoked. He is magically compelled to end every sentence with a hiccup, much to his annoyance.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Genie Meanie]]
A rather obnoxious genie that can only be summoned from his bottle for one day after over a century of dormancy, before returning to dormancy, for another extended period of time. He will return to dormancy at exactly sunset even if he's in a conversation with his summoner. Further, anyone who is unfortunate enough to summon him, even by accident, but doesn't know the proper password has something highly unpleasant happen to him. Those who ''do'' know the password get three wishes, which he will be reluctant to grant, and no more.
* 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.
* BlessedWithSuck: You'd think being able to summon a genie with phenomenal power would be a good thing. Not with this guy.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He's a genie, and he's mean.
* ExactWords: Be extra careful when using one of the three wishes he grants you as he ''will'' do ''exactly'' what the wish says, in the most unpleasant interpretation.
* JerkassGenie: He embodies this trope.
* SealedEvilInACan: His ultimate fate.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in one episode, but is directly responsible for one of the very rare occasions when Gargamel actually sets foot in the Smurf Village.
