History Main / VillainousGlutton

* The Supermodel VillainProtagonist of the video for Music/BestFriend by Music/FosterThePeople is shown to be constantly eating other women alive throughout the video. And while she's mainly doing this to [[CannibalismSuperpower absorb these women's attractive features,]] when she is swallowing her last victim alive, we see her OverlyLongTongue [[YouTasteDelicious licking the poor woman's]] [[DesperateKicking desperately kicking]] legs, implying she ''enjoys the taste too.''

* The ''Music/EvilliousChronicles'' series by Music/{{Vocaloid}} producer Akuno-P aka Music/{{mothy}} features a one, fittingly, in the Gluttony song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkrwKCRJH-s Evil Food Eater Conchita]], sung by Meiko. [[SheIsTheKing Duke]] Banica Conchita, a rare female, fairly attractive example of this trope, desires for only the most [[MasochistsMeal gruesome foods]] in the world. Okay, her tastes are bizarre, but why is she a Villainous Glutton? [[spoiler:It's because when her chef asks for leave, she eats him instead, and soon following him are the maid and servant. When there's nothing left, she finally eats herself.]] Expanded on further in the [[LightNovel/EvilFoodEaterConchita tie-in novel]], which reduces the villainy of her [[spoiler:eating the chef]] but slowly details her descent into a monster willing to wage wars with undead soldiers instead.

** Devotees of the dark god Slaanesh can be found engaging in every form of [[TheHedonist hedonism]], gluttony included. A notable example is the wizard Glutos Orscollion from ''Age of Sigmar'', who grew tentacles just to feed himself. Another is the Mistress of Spite from ''40,000'', a [[DemonOfHumanOrigin daemon prince]] who ascended for emptying entire worlds of food.

If the Villainous Glutton also eats in a way that's just plain disgusting, he's got JabbaTableManners and is likely a FatSlob; if his meal consists of endangered species or something similar, it may be an ExoticEntree. See also AdiposeRex (specifically for obese monarchs), FatSweatySouthernerInAWhiteSuit and SevenDeadlySins. Contrast FatBastard (a character who really ''is'' fat and is a {{Jerkass}}, but may or may not be an actual villain) and {{Gonk}} (an anime trope usually played for a combination of Squick and Comic Relief).

** In the 3rd Edition, there are Famine Spirits, incredibly powerful undead beings who can eat more in a day than fifty men can eat in a week. They were so-named because the appetite of one of them could ''literally'' cause a famine in a populated area if it was left unchecked.

** In ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', the C'tan were driven by nothing but a desire to consume. At first they fed on radiation from stars. Then the Necrontyr approached them and gave them new bodies in the hopes that the C'tan would give them an edge in their war against the Old Ones. The C'tan, now more intelligent and aware of the universe around them while still being the gluttonous beings they always were, manipulated the Necrontyr into swearing fealty to them. Once the terrible pact was made, the C'tan promptly turned the entire race into the robotic Necrons, feasting on their lifeforce and souls in the process. It was then that they realized how much more appetizing souls were than radiation, and dedicated themselves to devouring the souls of every living being. In the end, this defining trait of the C'tan led to their downfall. Supposedly, Cegorach the Laughing God manipulated one of the C'tan into eating others, which caused a downward spiral of infighting and cannibalism that reduced the power of the C'tan to the point that the Necrons were able to shatter and imprison them. The C'tan did not learn anything from this: even after being shattered and made into slaves by their former slaves, they ''still'' want to eat everyone.

* ''Webcomic/{{Heartcore}}'': Royce enjoys himself the finest meals on a daily basis along with daily birthday cakes. His signature sin is Gluttony afterall. It is a miracle that he has managed to stay in shape during his hundreds of years of gorging himself with one-man buffés.
* The Demiurge Nadia Om from ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'' is a female example of this trope. In her case her gluttony isn't just a personal one; she is a [[PlanetLooters Planet Looter]] who constantly strips entire worlds bare for foodstuffs, slaves and luxuries to sate herself and flaunt her power to her DecadentCourt. [[spoiler:She also constantly consumes fruit grown from HumanResources in order to remain young and beautiful, requiring ever more of it to keep her youth. She displays JabbaTableManners when eating it.]]

** In 5th Edition, gnolls have become this, having become even more closely tied to Yeenoghu, [[TheButcher the Demon Prince of Butchery]], than they were before, they now exist only to kill and humanoid victims. Yeenoghu himself is also one, as his only goal is to kill and eat every other sentient being in creation.

* The Demiurge Nadia Om from ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'' is a female example of this trope. In her case her gluttony isn't just a personal one; she is a [[PlanetLooters Planet Looter]] who constantly strips entire worlds bare for foodstuffs, slaves and luxuries to sate herself and flaunt her power to her DeadlyDecadentCourt.

Typically LargeAndInCharge, and ''very'' prone to DeathByGluttony or some similar [[DeathByIrony ironic demise]].

The Villainous Glutton tends to run visually opposite to the LeanAndMean character. He will usually be a very bulky FatBastard, although not necessarily obese; his eating habits symbolize his {{Greed}} and lust for power, rarities, food, or whatever else he may be after. In some cases, some sort of powers may be the source of that bulk, too; alternately, the character may be muscular, but the drawing style will still usually result in a clearly "fat" look.

While the Villainous Glutton is often played as an EvilCounterpart to the BigEater, his consumption can be purely symbolic.

Typically LargeAndInCharge.

If the Villainous Glutton also eats in a way that's just plain disgusting, he's got JabbaTableManners and is likely a FatSlob; if his meal consists of endangered species or something similar, it may be an ExoticEntree.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' has the [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0719.html Empress of Blood,]] an incredibly obese red dragon who seems to do very little other than eating. Her warlord explains that she does so because she's [[YouFailLogicForever confused correlation with causation]] and thinks that larger dragons can cast more powerful spells because they're larger. In fact, they can cast those spells because they're ''older'', which is ''also'' the reason they're larger.
