** After spending the whole story trying to assassinate Harry Dresden (believing him to be a resurrected EvilOverlord), putting innocents in danger, summoning "He Who Walks Behind" (''twice'') , [[HeWhoFightsMonsters and in the process of all these things betraying the kingdom and the ponies they swore to protect]], the Order Triune itself is betrayed by Novel Notion and sacrificed to a demon rather quickly. Unlike most examples, however, it still proves to be quite [[AlasPoorVillain tragic]].

** Damien Darhk used his telekinesis to immobilize and perform a PsychicStrangle on people, which is exactly how she kills him. An author's note points out, she also did so in decidedly offhand manner (compared to far more personal Malcolm) mirroring how he treated her as an afterthought, only serving to send a message.

** Novel Notion and his cohorts' own demise in the epilogue is just as karmic [[KickTheSonOfABitch though not nearly as tragic]]. Completely unrepentent of their heinous crimes, they hatch up a scheme to make ''another'' DealWithTheDevil in the Nevernever to gain the power they need to seek revenge. After four days of wandering, the first demon they meet promptly swallows them whole and they die slowly and painfully in its digestive fluids.

* ''Fanfic/CindersAndAshesTheChroniclesOfKamenRiderDante'' has Watari Ryuzaki who, as an [[LoonyFan idol stalker]] who used his newly obtained ice-themed powers to murder three people and attempt to murder another two, is killed by a Kamen Rider who coincidentally uses ice as his main power source.

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/25204132 Canary's Wrath]]'', Laurel becomes the [[ComicBook/TheSpectre The Spectre]], who as noted on the [[KarmicDeath/ComicBooks Comic Books page]] is fond of this in general, and seeks out the men most directly responsible for death.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4942221/23/Broken-Wings Broken Wings]]'' Umbridge, who has a phobia of winged creatures, escapes Hogwarts before she can be arrested for using a magic-binding cuff on Harry, and is killed and eaten by a Stymphalian Bird.

** Golden Chalice was a Griffin warlord who tried to invade and conquer the peaceful kingdom of Sauropoda, [[UnderestimatingBadassery having severely underestimated what a society of large, sapient dinosaurs are truly capable of]]. He was instantly killed when Queen Immensa stomped on him ''once''.

** One of the purified Changelings turned out to be a Chrysalis-loyalist who pretended to side with the ascended Thorax so he could undermine the latter's authority [[FrameUp by framing him for the deaths of several unpurified Changeling children]]. He was caught by hidden Summer Court agents and given to [[EvilutionaryBiologist Changeling King Brachion]], who would [[FateWorseThanDeath experiment on him]].

* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8793565/chapters/20159878 How the Light Gets In]]'' (''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'' & ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''): Dean tells the recently resurrected Laurel that she died after Damian Darhk stabbed her in the lung. After learning Dean killed him in revenge, she asks how.

** [[HumanoidAbomination Makarov]], the BigBad of the Shining Armor Arc, has spent his entire existence [[TheAssimilator absorbing others']] in order to bring himself closer to godhood, {{Retgon|e}}ing them in the process. Ultimately, he's absorbed by [[ClockRoaches the Blank Wolf]], erasing ''him'' from existence.

** Euron is drowned in the Iron Islands after having his crew willingly join the

* ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'' (''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' & ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'') does this with the TokenEvilTeammate pair of the Rebellion -- [[BloodKnight Rhouglar]] is executed by Caleb right after bragging about how the Rebellion's actions have been the perfect means for him to indulge in his [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil desires]], and that Caleb's naiveté has just been enabling him. [[KnightTemplar Tharquin]], meanwhile, ends up brutally murdered by [[spoiler:[[BewareTheNiceOnes Jade]]]], whom he'd been torturing simply for [[FantasticRacism being a Shapeshifter]].

[[AC:Unsorted/Dormant/Dead]]
* ''Fanfic/TheMountainAndTheWolf'': While he didn't exactly set out to make them die according to their sins, the Wolf does kill some of his victims in an enjoyably karmic way:
** The Mountain gets his skull crushed in the way he'd killed Elia Martell.
** Ramsay gets FlayedAlive (with a blunt knife).
** Littlefinger is backstabbed after being promised his life (this one the Wolf was aware of, seeing it as only natural that someone marked for death by Tzeentch should be betrayed) with the dagger he's used on Ned Stark.
** Euron is drowned in the Iron Islands after having his crew willingly join the Wolf.
* Gregor Clegane meets his end in the ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''[=/=]''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' crossover ''FanFic/ASparkOfIceAndFire'' when Agatha turns his own armor into a clank and has it to beat him to a pulp.

* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'': Simon Laurent transforms into Destruction, a large black dragon, as part of becoming a ritual component for the Cage of Flauros. He boasts that makes him the true Apex and that Sean -- the kid who drowned in the Fog Car -- was "Weak" for not being strong enough to survive the Train (As it's established that if you die on the train, your soul is reincarnated into a denizen). After he kills Chloe and Tuba (Chloe reviving thanks to Atticus), he ends up drowning in Toluca Lake by the Phantom, who is the reincarnation of Sean, the same Apex kid he mocked. Moreover, Simon never wants to change and so he will spend the next few ''centuries'' as what he hates most, while his body was unceremoniously dropped off where he was first picked up years ago; at an elementary school bathroom.

* ''Fanfic/TheParselmouthOfGryffindor'' had a karmic near-death for ''[[TheHero Hermione]]''. Being her usual confident RulesLawyer self, she went after the Horcrux a bit too quickly, convinced that her ten-seconds rules-lawyering would be enough to bypass the protections. [[GoneHorriblyWrong It wasn't]], and it's sheer luck that she comes BackFromTheDead afterwards.

* Danzo in ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin''. A man who spent the better part of his life willing to use and discard people as he saw fit to further his ambitions, he meets his end when [[spoiler:Obito Uchiha]] uses a mental trigger he implanted on him to commit suicide, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness after he fulfilled his purpose]] (namely, of sabotaging Konoha's efforts to retrieve the Jinchuriki and their Tailed Beasts).

[[AC:Unsorted/Dormant/Dead]]

* In the Mass Effect fic ''Fanfic/AnotherRealm'', the two antagonists of the ''Arrival'' arc are killed in suitably horrible ways after attempting to use their daughter as a political pawn, as well as trying to kill her lover, who happens to be TheHero.

* In ''Fanfic/CodexEquus'', this tends to happen as a consequence for one's actions, both mortal and divine.
** Changeling King Lasius's foster noble family, as well as the local royalty and the aristocracy, were horrendously lazy and incompetent, and used their wealth to fund their lavish lifestyles rather than help their extremely impoverished subjects. Lasius got so fed up with their behavior that he murdered them all during a welcoming party he threw for Emperor Blackthorn, and used their palaces and statues (all the way down to the ''founder'') to pave and repair his foster kingdom's roads. His half-sister, Golden Bell, turned a blind eye while her family died because she too, was sick of their behaviors.
** The Propagare cultists Elske encountered were trying to stir up distrust and hatred so they could start a war between two Deer realms. After stomping on one part of their armies and sitting on another, Elske proceeded to slowly crush them to death with her hooves so they'll be an example of what happens when people give in to hatred.
** Golden Chalice was a Griffin warlord who tried to invade and conquer the peaceful kingdom of Sauropoda, [[UnderestimatingBadassery having severely underestimated what a society of large, sapient dinosaurs are truly capable of]]. He was instantly killed when Queen Immensa stomped on him ''once''.
** Much of the old Orosian pantheon behaved little more than irresponsible, arrogant, and spoiled children, causing unnecessary deaths with their petty squabbles and extreme intolerance to even minor infractions. They eventually died in an event of their own making, the "[[{{Gotterdammerung}} Twilight of the Orosians]]", with several people making a point to show that the gods had brought their deaths upon themselves. Likewise, no one cried when the new and more benevolent Orosian gods stepped up to take their place.
** The Alvslog royal family that raised King Brachion cast him out when it was discovered he was a dormant Royal Changeling, forcing him to survive in a forest where dangerous predators lived while he's ''still a child''. When he completed his Errance and became good at biological experimentation, he proceeded to return and [[PayEvilUntoEvil utterly destroy his foster family for abandoning him]], killing a good number of them and [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed razing their Alvslog forest kingdom]] to the ground to make way for his new Hive.
** One of the purified Changelings turned out to be a Chrysalis-loyalist who pretended to side with the ascended Thorax so he could undermine the latter's authority [[FrameUp by framing him for the deaths of several unpurified Changeling children]]. He was caught by hidden Summer Court agents and given to [[EvilutionaryBiologist Changeling King Brachion]], who would [[FateWorseThanDeath experiment on him]].
** Night Terror, a serial killer from the Deer realms who is the villainous {{Expy}} of [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]], was fatally burned alive by the grieving parents of the young fawns he killed. However, [[KarmaHoudini he managed to cheat his way out of hell]] by making a secret deal with Ispita, causing his soul to end up in the dream realm instead. Yarost was ''enraged'' when he discovered this, due to his hatred of oath-breakers and Ispita in general, and helped Princess Luna and Tenya find and confront Night Terror. When Night Terror was made powerless, defeated, and thrown to the real world by the two goddesses, [[OhCrap a furious Yarost was waiting for him, with no other way out of what awaited below]]. Temnobog himself lampshades how Night Terror was TooDumbToLive by thinking he could worm his way out of his rightfully-deserved punishment.
** Void Traveler, a Second-Age villain who tried to destroy Equus in the name of his "master" by putting it in a black hole, ends up completely obliterated by a few residents of the planet. As Princess Stitching Time and Queen Cosmosglow said, [[PreMortemOneLiner "Your time is up."]]
** Bolezn infected an entire Deer kingdom with a devastating plague for its blatant disregard for proper hygiene, and then infiltrated the castle of a royal Deer, Prince Prospero, who arrogantly assumed he can use said plague to KillThePoor. Under the guise of a noble who dressed up like a plague victim, Bolezn infected Prince Prospero as well as the various nobles and royalty who took shelter in his castle rather than help their subjects, leaving them to die a slow, agonizing death while their food and wealth were pillaged by Bolezn's subordinates/followers for their master to enjoy.

* In ''FanFic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar'', BigBad Red Cyclone is responsible for starting the whole conflict and for the most part of the story, he only issues orders, such as the [[PlayingWithFire scorching of Equestria]]. He becomes trapped inside his own creation by Zeakros after Rainbow Dash and Firefly destroy the fortress' core generator, starting a self-destruct countdown. He is consumed by the expanding explosions as Fortress Intimidation is collapsing.

* ''FanFic/BadFutureCrusaders'': [[MookLieutenant Twitch]], who gleefully took part in the bombing of Broncton -- caring nothing for the civilians caught in the crossfire -- is killed when a shot from Apple Bloom's gun detonates one of his bombs while it's still on his belt.

* ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'' does this with the TokenEvilTeammate pair of the Rebellion -- [[BloodKnight Rhouglar]] is executed by Caleb right after bragging about how the Rebellion's actions have been the perfect means for him to indulge in his [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil desires]], and that Caleb's naiveté has just been enabling him. [[KnightTemplar Tharquin]], meanwhile, ends up brutally murdered by [[spoiler:[[BewareTheNiceOnes Jade]]]], whom he'd been torturing simply for [[FantasticRacism being a Shapeshifter]].

* In ''FanFic/TimeLordsAndTerror'', [[WickedWitch Hydia]] spends the entire story trying to release [[EldritchAbomination the S'muz]] because she believes she can use it to destroy her enemies. Naturally, she's the first one it renders DeaderThanDead upon its release.

** Damien Darhk used his telekinesis to immobilize and perform a PsychicStrangle on people, which is exactly how she kills him. An author's note points out, she also did so in decidedly offhand manner (compared to far more personal Malcolm) mirroring how he treated her as an afterthought, [[StuffedIntoTheFridge only serving to send a message]].

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13189099/1/The-Legend-Of-Zelda-Ocarina-Of-Time The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time]]'', Gohma crashes Link's party and splits a tree clean in half with her eye laser. When Link fights her again later on, he kills her by [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe cleanly cutting her in half vertically with a sword beam.]]
* In ''Fanfic/LovedAndLost'', Prince Jewelius convinces Queen Chrysalis to invade Equestria with him on Princess Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding day, only to double-cross her so that he can rule Equestria alone. After the vengeful Changelings have escaped from his dungeons, he [[SkewedPriorities refuses to spare a thought for them]] as he tries to finish off the heroes whom Chrysalis [[EnemyMine secretly helps to gain an advantage over him]]. When the good guys have cornered Jewelius in the climax, the Changelings come to take their revenge [[DevouredByTheHorde by eating]] the pathetically begging Jewelius whose heart doesn't have any love for them to feed on. The scene has distinct similarities with the death of [[Franchise/TheLionKing Scar]] (see the "Animation" category under {{KarmicDeath/Film}}).
* In ''Fanfic/TheMLPDreamscape'', the [[EldritchAbomination shadow creature]] that possessed [[spoiler:Applebloom]] caused her lots of misery, and affected her immediate family and friends as well. [[spoiler:It is killed by an Earth-empowered Applejack, who yanks the shadow creature out of her little sister's head and stomps it into the ground]].
* ''Fanfic/MastermindStrategistForHire'':
** Immediately after being held at gunpoint by the Blue Dogs gang to get out of plans to rob Okane Bank, Izuku sells plans to murder each member to their enemies, leading to all of them being murdered. In particular, Tanaka, the leader, is [[CruelAndUnusualDeath starved and tortured to death]], with his body left in front of the Channel 9 News station.
** After having endured [[AbusiveParents a decade of abuse and isolation from him]], Shouto Todoroki, with the help of Dabi [[spoiler:(aka Touya Todoroki)]], murders his abusive father, Endeavor, whilst he was holding a press conference.

* ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'':
** The blackbirds that have tortured [[BadFuture Dark World]]!Derpy for a thousand years by trying to eat Dinky (who has been [[AndIMustScream turned into a muffin]]), are ultimately thrown into [[EldritchAbomination Ponythulhu's]] dimension to be eaten themselves, also by being turned into a baked good.
** When [[TrueFinalBoss Nightmare Eclipse/Paradox]] is finally defeated by the Elements of Harmony, she's forced to experience a fate quite similar to what she forced on Twilight [[GroundhogDayLoop who knows how many times]] -- watching her [[CoDragons friends]] be torn away from her and ending up being forcibly [[FusionDance fused]] with Twilight.
** [[HumanoidAbomination Makarov]], the BigBad of the Shining Armor Arc, has spent his entire existence [[TheAssimilator absorbing others']] in order to bring himself closer to godhood, {{Retgon|e}}ing them in the process. Ultimately, he's absorbed by [[ClockRoaches the Blank Wolf]], erasing ''him'' from existence.
* [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark Peter Ludlow]], the ''real'' BigBad of ''FanFic/RiseOfTheGaleforces'' gets an ''epic'' one near the very end. He sets it up by apparently spending most of Episode 3 trying to capture the T-rex family that initially antagonizes the heroes as part of a tourist attraction (actually an excuse to publicly kill them along with all other non-human species). When he later drops all pretenses, he defends himself from the angry father rex by shooting him in the eye. This enrages both the fellow 'rex he was defending - actually a ScaledUp [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Violet]] - and Chomper's own babies to boot. The result: Ludlow gets every bone in his body broken for his trouble, and is devoured by the very baby 'rexes he had been working so hard to acquire.

* ''[[Fanfic/TheUltimateEvil The Stronger Evil]]'': After [[EvilSorcerer Daolon Wong]] resurrects [[DragonsAreDemonic Shendu]] and is [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder double-crossed]] by him, the dark wizard tries to have his revenge by shooting [[VillainousCrush the demon's beloved]] Valerie Payne. [[RelativeButton Beyond furious]], Shendu pummels Wong to death.
