** The Predacons of ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' inherited a lot of the Decepticon blatancy and then combined it with a selection of traits taken from bugs and dinosaurs for additional unpleasantness; it's hard to imagine who would look at, say, Tarantulas, a spider-bot with a mouthful of razor-sharp fangs, and conclude that he's in any way a positive addition to the team. Even the Predacons who were created from repurposed Maximal shells still end up broadcasting their villainy; Inferno, for example, is a giant pyromaniac fire ant with a SlasherSmile and glowing red eyes. When the [[MixAndMatchCritters Fusors]] debut, it's not hard to guess which of them will stay with the Predacons and which will join the Maximals given that one of them combines the traits of [[AnimalStereotypes stereotypically noble wolves and eagles]], and the other is a scorpion with a snake for a tail and turns into a sort of teal Darth Vader thing.

** There is an episode that is dedicated to deconstruct this trope. Two warring alien beings arrive on the Third Earth, one is a sleek looking golden robot/cyborg and the other is vicious looking monster. Lion-O immediately assumes the monster must be evil and takes the side of his alien foe, and assumption that by the end of the episode is proven VERY wrong.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'': Chancellor Palpatine secretly being EvilAllAlong was [[CaptainObviousReveal never that much of a surprise to begin with]], but in the film series, he at least kept up the appearance of being a kindly old man when not in his Darth Sidious persona. Here, he's given a much more openly villainous design, with large, dark shadows around his eyes and a tendency to [[FingerTenting Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive]]. He frequently plays an ObstructiveBureaucrat and has a fondness for [[KickTheDog Kicking Dogs]] even when there is no real benefit to doing so.
* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' in regards to Zuko. He starts out as the heroes' first antagonist who's [[BaldOfEvil bald]], [[RedRightHand scarred]], and clothed in the [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black colors]] of the [[TheEmpire Fire Nation]].

He's got SpikesOfVillainy, an EvilLaugh, BlackEyesOfEvil, VillainousCheekbones, and [[DarkIsEvil dark magic]]. He has quite a scary transformation, too. His profile even suggests that his helmet can pull up to reveal his terrible face.

* ''WesternAnimation/FlowersAndTrees'': While the other characters are beautiful, colorful flora and fauna, the evil tree is rotten and gray, has a lizard in his mouth that acts like his tongue, lives in an area with dead trees and a skull, and is introduced with vultures perched on him and bats flying out of his mouth. You'd better be-leaf he's evil.

They field armies of FacelessGoons, their symbol is a set of batlike wings, Adora was personally raised by an EvilSorceress in a creepy mask who uses dark magic, and their HQ is in a place called the ''Fright Zone''. Hordak, the founder of the Horde, is a seven-foot-tall man with fangs, glowing red eyes and [[SkullForAHead a skull-like facial structure]] who wears black and red armor.

** The Predacons of ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' inherited a lot of the Decepticon blatancy and then combined it with a selection of traits taken from bugs and dinosaurs for additional unpleasantness; it's hard to imagine who would look at, say, Tarantulas, a spider-bot with a mouthful of razor-sharp fangs, and conclude that he's in any way a positive addition to the team. Even the Predacons who were created from repurposed Maximal shells still end up broadcasting their villainy; Inferno, for example, is a giant pyromaniac fire ant with a SlasherSmile and glowing red eyes. When the [[MixAndMatchCritters Fusors]] debut, it's not hard to guess which of them will stay with the Predacons and which will join the Maximals given that one of them combines the traits of [[AnimalStereotypes stereotypically noble wolves and eagles]], and the other is a scorpion with a snake for a tail and turns into a sort of teal Darth Vader thing.
