* The purple entity that Nicholas conjures to chase after the Carebears, starts off as a cloud with a set of menacing eyes yellow sclera with green irises with slit pupils before turning into a barracuda that spins a whirlpool to nearly drown the Carebears then possessing a tree with the intent to strangle Kim and Jason to death. When this fails, it turns into a massive bird that would've done much harm to the two of them had the Carebears not destroyed it in time. And [[KnightOfCerebus It is never played for comedy much like its master]].

** The white entity with a ghoulish face appears very briefly once he casts the final spell and swats the Carebears away. It manages to be more nightmarish than the purple cloud due to its more unearthly design.

* The Spirit is a spirit of implied demonic origin, being sealed away in a book. She "befriends" Nicholas, a lonely boy who wants friends, and convinces him to turn her magic on the town and eventually the entire world, removing everyone's positive feelings and making them violent and hateful- with the implied result being an anarchic hellhole of misanthropy and nihilism- the implied "lesson" the Spirit wanted to spread. While the other villains have the same goals in mind, none of them come to succeed like it does. And unlike succeeding villains, [[KnightOfCerebus it is a very dark and menacing villain that jarringly contrasts with the cutesy world of the Carebears]].

* Care-A-Lot slowly crumbling apart due to the lack of caring. The previously saccharine realm is gradually crumbling away with visible fissures getting gradually bigger, counted down by a low and dissonant ring from the meter- a symbolic clock counting to its destruction. Had things not been stopped, it would've led to a potentially apocalyptic disaster.

** The funhouse itself, has a crazed clown face as an entrance and is filled with very distorted imagery of deranged faces.
