Some characters have been through the JerkassBall, but they're not malicious or villainous, but misunderstood. One notable exception to this trope is Grumbles from "The Princess of Play", as he starts out a monster who hates playing and plots to steal Princess Esme's magic wand so that he can use it to make everyone's toys disappear and then lock it away. He does undergo a HeelFaceTurn at the end of the story when Princess Esme teaches him that he doesn't need toys to play and that real friends are what make playtime special.
