** Fatima and Minos, due to being an OutlawCouple who have some interesting history with Aladdin and Abu, get some decent CharacterDevelopment, and are initially stuck in BalefulPolymorph forms. Fatima's EvilIsSexy appearance also inspires a lot of fan art. Several fans wish they'd been in more than two episodes.
** Vain Sorceress Saleen has an impressively diverse assortment of fan art.
** Sadira only makes four appearances, but her position as a BadassAdorable CuteWitch who is a ShadowArchetype to both Aladdin and Jasmine and has a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor arc make her a major face of the show. Her cameo appearance in ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'' was very well received.

** [[GreatGazoo Chaos]], implied to be the AnthropomorphicPersonification of his namesake, is a near-omnipotent trickster whose unpredictability is matched only by his love of fun and affability. Chaos is "tricked" by the evil goddess Mirage into visiting Agrabah, where he proceeds to begin [[RealityWarper screwing with reality]] for his own amusement, creating an evil Aladdin and an evil Genie to challenge the status quo when he's informed "Aladdin always wins." Motivated by nothing but his whims, Chaos is still a fiendishly good planner who [[ObfuscatingStupidity set up Mirage]] from the beginning, and tricks her into falling into his evil Genie's clutches just to place her in so much danger she ends inadvertently saving the day. Not only the most powerful being seen in the series, Chaos is a cunning TricksterMentor who commends Aladdin for what he's done with Agrabah and tells him to keep up the good work--lest he return to make things "interesting" again.

* ValuesResonance: Sadira before her HeelFaceTurn accidentally traumatized Aladdin when brainwashing him into loving her as a European prince. Aladdin has a realistic response on realizing he's kissing a different woman; he pushes her away and goes to Jasmine to both explain himself and realize that he can't explain it due to the fact that he was under a spell. While the episode ending is PlayedForLaughs, where Sadira gives a genuine apology to Jasmine but not to Aladdin for essentially giving him a roofie, the sequel where Sadira has completed her HeelFaceTurn still has Aladdin suspicious of her. He's not wrong, since every time they've tangled, she's tried to mess with his mind. Sadira has to truly prove that she's changed, by taking on the Sand Witches and nearly sacrificing her life to do so, as well as breaking their staff.

%% Complete Monster: *CompleteMonster: Most of Aladdin's enemies have [[LaughablyEvil some degree of comedic traits]]. However, [[KnightOfCerebus things get much darker when either of these two are around]]:
** [[EvilCounterpart Mozenrath]] is the [[ArchEnemy most personal]], recurring foe that Aladdin has faced. A youthful [[EvilSorcerer sorcerer]] who betrayed, zombified, and enslaved his own master, Mozenrath enacts a variety of schemes to destroy Agrabah and bind Genie to his will. Attempting to unleash the Wind Jackal to annihilate Agrabah and threatening to do the same to every other kingdom of the world if they don't kowtow to him, Mozenrath later dominates the entire race of Sprites, turning them into a force of slaves that he works to near-death before trying to wipe them all out when they rebel. Mozenrath also traps a large portion of the Sultan's palace in an alternate plane of existence to be damned while he swoops in for control, and in another plot manipulated Genie and his girlfriend with dirty tricks so as to turn them into [[LivingBattery living batteries]]. In his final bout of villainy, Mozenrath horribly tries to [[GrandTheftMe bodyjack Aladdin]] and leave the boy hero trapped in either his own dying body, or inside Mozenrath's mind while he conquers the world.
** [[CatsAreMean Mirage]] is [[CardCarryingVillain evil incarnate]], devoted only to proliferating misery and destroying all that is good. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment As an early testament to her evil]], Mirage orders a village and its population incinerated in her debut just because of the crops they grow for the surrounding land. Mirage's plots range from the grandiose to the sadistically [[EvilIsPetty petty]], everything from attempting to have all of Agrabah destroyed and brewing up civil wars for fun, to trying to destroy Aladdin and Jasmine's love for each other by slowly transforming Jasmine into a snake. Mirage even tempts [[WouldHurtAChild children]] into her clutches, promising them immortality in exchange for becoming the monstrous El-Katib, a process she neglects to mention entails their eternal servitude in a dark void with release only ever three years.
Mirage has been cut as per no issue abandoning the Complete Monster Cleanup thread. Do not add her back without approval, but you'd better have a good argument not already debunked El-Katib to die, coldly leaving them all to perish in the thread.sunlight when one of them finally defies her.

** [[BountyHunter The Mukhtar]] is a [[SnakePeople snake-like]] mercenary and the most [[ScarilyCompetentTracker skilled genie hunter]] in all the land.

Letting Genie go without issue when his employer calls the hunt off, Mukhtar later returns to take all of Genie's friends hostage in a ploy to lure Genie into Mozenrath's hands, which goes off without a hitch. Mukhtar's honor as mighty as his tracking abilities, the mercenary ends up [[HeelFaceTurn backstabbing Mozenrath]] while saving Genie and his friends due to a feeling of closeness with Genie, parting ways with the heroes peacefully at the end of his story after regarding them all as friends.
