** Red Death, a veteran Guild member and living legend within the Supervillain community, scares the living hell out of anyone that knows his stuff within such circles. He frightened the Monarch off a hit with just a few words, and even ''Brock Samson himself'' at his own peak is hesitant to take the guy on, admitting he's "just a little bit scary".

* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'': [[RedBaron Known as the "Radio Demon"]], Alastor is feared by most as an all-powerful tyrant who destroys anyone who stands in the way of his cryptic goals. On his first day in Hell alone he slaughtered so many demons (not just rank and file, but high-ranking Lords of Hell that had been in power for centuries) that he was instantly catapulted into a ranking position among Hell's nobility, and most would rather give him a wide berth than catch his attention in any way.

** Obviously at least scary is an older Overlord called Zestial in the episode "Scrambled Eggs". Everyone who so much as sees him and Alastor on the street (Alastor himself doesn't quite get this reaction) is struck with terror, including one demon ''setting himself on fire'' as a reaction. Even Alastor's permanent smile might look a little strained when he sees him, though beyond that, they just talk as friendly equals.

* ''WesternAnimation/ZakStorm'': Despite defeating him many times, the heroes know better than to engage recurring enemy Golden Bones, second-in-command to the BigBad Skullivar, for a protracted period of time. Rather, they always make their escape the first chance they get. Case in point, when he manages to definitively corner them in one episode, he [[spoiler:kills most of them. While it was undone by time travel in the end,]] it shows that he is never an opponent to be underestimated despite his many losses.

** Played for laughs in the episode where a hadron collider had caused an apocalypse. As Stan was wandering post-apocalypse America, he kept hear about "The Two Hundred" that were feared to the point that everyone just ran away from them without question. It turned out The Two Hundred was really just Roger roaming around with a fog machine, ominously calling out "The Two Hundred are coming," and [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext stealing the spoons]] of those who fled in terror. [[spoiler: Turns out The Two Hundred was actually real. Rodger had been goofing off IN the hadron collider when it was activated, and in addition to causing an apocalypse, it caused 200 of his personalities to split into their own bodies.]]

*** Everyone takes Zaheer and his cronies ''very'' seriously, even characters who are quite badass themselves. Once Zaheer himself escapes, the leaders of the other nations ''immediately'' put everyone they can trust on the job of guarding the other three. Also, Tenzin's reluctance to let Korra go to Republic City at the beginning of the series (which means she'd been stuck on Air Temple Island until her late teens!) proves to be because of these guys. Everyone was so worried about protecting her from their conspiracy ''even though they'd been in {{Tailor Made Prison}}s for some time'' that she had to ''really'' fight for the right to get out and start Avatar-ing.
*** Kuvira, the BigBad of Book 4. During the TimeSkip between Books 3 and 4, she was tasked with restoring the Earth Kingdom and has quickly become someone to both respect and fear, earning the monkier of "The Great Uniter". This is most evident in the first episode where a group of bandits attack her train.

Known for having conquered ten worlds, five others and created a black hole, he was in fact so feared in the Original Series that no organic life form was willing to work for him, forcing him to use MechaMooks as his personal army.

It's to the point that a newer villain attacks in force, he decided to try to take out Vilgax to demoralize his people. (Spoiler alert: Vilgy kicked the assassins' asses.

[[BewareTheSillyOnes Despite his comical appearance and zany personality]], it quickly becomes ''very'' clear that her fear of him was justified.
** Much to her depression, [[TheSacredDarkness Princess Luna]] is regarded as this trope thanks to her past as [[MadGod Nightmare]] [[OmnicidalManiac Moon]], as well as being [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant pretty scary herself]]. However, she manages to use it to her advantage by the end of her ADayInTheLimelight episode, taking advice from the true purpose of Halloween.
** [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Chrysalis]] is this to the population of Canterlot in "A Canterlot Wedding" who believe her to be such an evil tyrant thanks to her power of deceit and absolute control with an army of changelings.
** [[EvilOverlord King Sombra]], the umbrum from the "Crystal Empire" two-parter. Simply thinking about [[TheDarkTimes his reign]] causes [[SlaveRace his former subjects]] to shudder; in fact, though he cursed the crystal ponies by wiping their memories, one of them implies that part of their amnesia may instead be due to their suppressing what little they do remember. When Twilight Sparkle has to [[spoiler: find [[AmplifierArtifact an ancient relic]] that Sombra hid away, she deduces (correctly) that he hid it somewhere in [[EvilTowerOfOminousness his own castle]], because he was banking on everyone being too scared of him to ever search the place]].
** [[SatanicArchetype Lord Tirek]] from the season 4 finale, when first introduced, isn't overly dangerous, as he is decrepit and sickly, but what makes Tirek dreaded and dangerous is his ManaDrain ability. Tirek can steal the magic and talent from any ponies he comes across, rendering them completely helpless. It was bad enough that [[GodzillaThreshold sending Discord after him was the first course of action taken]]. We eventually learn later just how dangerous he can become once he absorbs enough magic, by effortlessly draining ''[[AlwaysABiggerFish Discord]]'' of his magic.
** The idea of Starlight Glimmer returning for revenge deeply unsettles Twilight, who, as a reminder, had previously faced off against a demonic magic-eating centaur, among with many other things. The fact that Starlight is just a normal unicorn makes this especially noteworthy. Fortunately, this fades after her HeelFaceTurn.

* WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee has [[TheGrimReaper The Chairman,]] as well as the Ghost Council members who accompany him. Able to send any ghost to the [[FateWorseThanDeath flow of failed phantoms]] on a whim, usually if they don’t meet their quota of scaring enough people. Every ghost seen in the series does their best to please them, and stay off their bad side. Illustrated quite nicely when several other ghosts are partying at Molly’s house, only to immediately clear the room in fear as soon as the council arrives.
