* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': According to Aoyama, this is at least part of [[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaAllForOne All For One]] endgame: spread social instability and anarchy to increase villain activity and create a world where every nation is struggling to survive, then use his amassed Quirks to take advantage and take over. All For One admits it's not completely accurate, but close enough.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': [[Characters/GravityFallsBillCipher Bill Cipher's]] ultimate plan is to [[spoiler:merge the Nightmare Realm with reality so he and his buddies can escape and cause havoc, or as he puts it, "teach your realm how to party!" While he claims at one point that this is to free people from the rules and restrictions of reality, it's pretty clear that [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist all he wants]] is to create a world where he and his fellow [[EldritchAbomination Eldtrich Abominations]] can endlessly indulge in their sadism and insanity.]]

** ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'' and its cross-Pacific counterpart ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' both feature an army of demons based on Myth/JapaneseMythology that want to merge their Netherworld with the Earth.
** In the penultimate episode of ''Series/PowerRangersCosmicFury'', [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Bajillia Naire]] reveals this to be her endgame. She intends to shatter the energy tube containing [[spoiler:Lord Zedd's supercharged soul]] and release a WorldWreckingWave that will eliminate the concept of goodness from the universe. With no heroes, eternal war is finally possible, and her ArmsDealer business [[WarForFunAndProfit will make bank]].

* The agenda of Aku in ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' is partly this and partly DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans. There are dystopian cities made in the demon's image, but most of the world consists of violent wastelands plagued by various malevolent aliens whom Aku actively encourages to immigrate to Earth as a place where they can easily wreak havoc.

** Androids 17 and 18 in the BadFuture of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' had similar motivations, as they destroyed civilization, performing mass murder and robberies indiscriminately purely because they were bored. In the mainstream timeline ForWantOfANail kicks in and they're much less destructive, not going out of their way to hurt anyone but still doing whatever they please [[BloodKnight and planning to kill Goku just because]].

She refuses to try to rule in the anarchic wasteland when given the chance and encourages the [[{{Mooks}} goons]] of the various villains battling for power to do evil for their own sake rather than a boss.

At one point, your character meets the Androids, who like the world as a hellhole and in fact are looking for the Dragon Balls so they can make it even ''worse''.

* ''Literature/SkulduggeryPleasant'' has the Remnants, which are basically nothing more than vile little slivers of soul and form their identity based on the person who they possess, essentially becoming [[TheHeartless a version of that person minus their conscience]] whom they permanently bond to if they spend more than a few days in them. This doesn't prevent them from being perfectly reasonable when they feel like it, or [[AffablyEvil disturbingly amiable]] (indeed, a Remnant Infested person actually ''can'' redevelop their conscience if they work at it), and when they escape their prison, their idea of fun is mass destruction and mayhem. During the events of the series, they finally develop a plan along these lines, when one of them possesses a Sensitive and foresees the coming of [[BigBad Darquesse]], who they worship as their DarkMessiah, much to the consternation of Darquesse's good side [[spoiler: Valkyrie Cain]], because she thinks they'll deliver this kind of world. Unfortunately for them, it turns out that Darquesse is [[spoiler: pre ''epic'' CharacterDevelopment]] so detached that she's a full-blown OmnicidalManiac.

{{Evil Overlord}}s want to TakeOverTheWorld, and {{Omnicidal Maniac}}s want to destroy the world, but these villains just want to ''change'' the world. Rather than conquer it, blow it up, or kill everyone on it, they are much more content to simply turn it into the most horrible and messed up place possible -- their own personal playground, in other words. Villains who intend on this goal are likely doing it ForTheEvulz. Naturally, the common criminals who inhabit the world would ''like'' this guy, and they'll welcome him as their liberator.

* This is the goal of [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] in ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei''. Throughout the main series he acts as a BombThrowingAnarchist trying to convince humanity to turn their backs on God [[GodIsEvil who in this setting is even worse]] and do whatever the hell they want, which usually results in a bloody SocialDarwinist [[ChaosIsEvil dystopia]]. His motivations [[DependingOnTheWriter differ between games]], as sometimes he's a WellIntentionedExtremist [[SatanIsGood genuinely trying to do what he thinks is best for everyone]], and other times he's simply ChaoticEvil and manipulating the humans in his quest for revenge against God.
