[[spoiler:Basim also]] takes on the role of the BigBad for the modern day segments of the story alongside [[spoiler:Aletheia]], another GreaterScopeVillain, since the two manipulated Layla Hassan into giving them the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus so that [[spoiler: the former could be resurrected]]. Arguably, [[spoiler:Odin himself]] is also a GreaterScopeVillain since he is a previous incarnation of [[spoiler: Eivor]] and is responsible for the death of Loki's son Fenrir, thus setting [[spoiler: Basim's vendetta against Sigurd, and eventually Eivor, into motion]]. |

| 267 | ** In ''VideoGame/Castlevania64'', Dracula does indeed show up very early on, [[spoiler:except that this is merely a fake, and is actually Dracula's servant UsefulNotes/GillesDeRais in disguise. Instead, the true villain is [[CreepyChild Malus]], the true reincarnation of Dracula who assumes his true form if the heroes manage to reach the final stage [[TimedMission in time for the good ending route]].]] |
| 268 | ** ''64'''s UpdatedRerelease ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLegacyOfDarkness'' introduces the story of Cornell, set eight years before Dracula's resurrection in the main game, whereupon he is antagonized by his personal nemesis [[TheResenter Ortega]], who has [[VillainTeamUp joined up]] with Dracula's current group of crony generals— Death, Gilles de Rais, and Actrise. |
| 269 | ** Dracula is once again initially absent in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDissonance'' despite the re-emergence of his castle. Death is present from the start, but is also confused at the absence of his master. It turns out that the active main villain for most of the game is [[spoiler:an [[EnemyWithin evil alternate personality]] of protagonist Juste's friend Maxim Kischine, created by his feelings of jealousy and hatred allowing Dracula's spirit to begin taking control of his psyche. In the best ending route, Dracula's spirit abandons Maxim upon defeat to inhabit [[PlotCoupon his own bodily remains]], taking on a Wraith form that enables him to initiate a TrueFinalBoss encounter]]. |
| 270 | ** ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLamentOfInnocence'', serving as something of an OriginsEpisode for the series, does not yet feature Dracula, but instead has its main villain in his predecessor, the vampire lord Walter Bernhard. The entire game leads up to a confrontation with him, [[spoiler:after which his servant Death betrays him, allowing [[BigBadFriend Mathias Cronqvist]] to capture his vampiric soul in the [[SoulJar Crimson Stone]], which he would use to become Dracula, while Death is fought as the FinalBoss.]] |
| 271 | ** ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaCurseOfDarkness'' has Devil Forgemaster Isaac, who leads a legion of monsters in order to force Hector to take up his demonic powers once more. He succeeds in pitting Hector and Trevor Belmont against each other in a bid to raise Dracula's castle, though ultimately the true villain of the story is [[spoiler:Death, in disguise as the monk [[SdrawkcabName Zead]], who meant for Hector to kill Isaac and succumb to the curse, becoming the perfect vessel for Dracula's resurrection. When Hector defies this, Death ends up using Isaac as a lesser vessel to resurrect Dracula]]. |
| 272 | ** In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'', the BigBad is the {{Cult}} leader and self-proclaimed [[TheAntichrist Antichrist]], Graham Jones. [[spoiler:At least until TheReveal, at which point it turns out that ''you'' are the actual [[TheAntichrist Antichrist]], prompting a crazy TrueFinalBoss battle against [[EnemyWithin Dracula's power trying to take you over from within]].]] ''Dawn of Sorrow'' continues the story by splitting Graham's role between Celia Fortner, who leads a cult (possibly the same as Graham's), and the two Dark Lord Candidates [[PlayingWithFire Dario Bossi]] and [[PowerCopying Dmitrii Blinov]]. In the end, [[spoiler:Dario is stripped of his powers and flees, and Dmitrii copies Soma's Power of Dominance and sacrifices Celia to strengthen it. This [[EvilIsNotAToy doesn't work out]], and the souls of the demons he absorbed end up manifesting as [[EldritchAbomination Menace]], who serves as the FinalBoss… unless you're playing Julius Mode, in which Dmitrii never gets the chance because [[RogueProtagonist Soma Cruz]] beats him to the punch by killing Celia first and usurping her position]]. |
| 273 | ** ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'' begins with Dracula's sealed remains in the possession of [[MagicalSociety Ecclesia]], who are about to use a magical force called Dominus to conduct a ritual seemingly capable of neutralizing them once and for all. Unfortunately this ritual is interrupted by [[APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil Albus]], who steals Dominus seemingly out of offense for not being chosen for the ritual, and must be pursued by protagonist Shanoa to get it back. [[spoiler:Except that Albus was GoodAllAlong and was trying to protect Shanoa from sacrificing her own life, which is what using Dominus, which was made from Dracula's own evil power, would entail... something that had been conveniently left unmentioned by [[TreacherousAdvisor Barlowe]], the head of Ecclesia, who never intended to destroy Dracula, but rather to unseal and resurrect him once more. In the end, Barlowe is able to sacrifice his own life to resurrect Dracula, who serves as the villain of the final act.]] |
| 274 | ** ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow'': |
| 275 | *** The base game has the titular Lords of Shadow: Cornell of the werewolves, Carmilla of the vampires, and Death of the necromancers, whom Gabriel Belmont seeks to defeat in order to SaveTheWorld and claim the pieces of the [[MacGuffin God Mask]], which he believes can resurrect his wife Marie. Naturally, it gets more complicated than that: [[spoiler:The Lords of Shadow turn out to be the [[TheHeartless evil selves left behind]] when the three ancient sages that founded the Brotherhood of Light that Gabriel belongs to cast off their imperfect earthly forms in order to ascend as perfect spiritual beings, and Death's true identity is [[BigBadFriend Zobek]], who had been manipulating Gabriel in the guise of a wise advisor to bring him the other Lords' pieces of the God Mask, going so far as becoming the party responsible for Marie's death which he forced Gabriel to do by [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashing him]] with the [[ArtifactOfDoom Devil Mask]], providing his main motivation. Then it turns out that Zobek had himself been manipulated by {{Satan}}, who desired the mask for his own ends and becomes Gabriel's [[FinalBoss final enemy]]]]. |
| 276 | *** The ''Reverie'' DLC has [[SealedEvilInACan The Forgotten One]], a tremendously powerful demon who threatens to come to Earth and cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt as a result of [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Gabriel's actions in the base game.]] [[spoiler:It is in the process of entering the realm the demon is sealed in and destroying it that Gabriel gains the dark power that turns him into this timeline's version of Dracula.]] |
| 277 | *** Dracula fulfills the BigBad role again in ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadowMirrorOfFate Mirror of Fate]]'', but he becomes the protagonist in ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow2 Lords of Shadow 2]]'', where he reluctantly [[EnemyMine works together with]] [[spoiler:Zobek]] to oppose Satan's acolytes and prevent his resurrection. |
| 278 | ** Some spinoffs include this as well: |
| 279 | *** ''VideoGame/KidDracula'' has Dracula's kid [[EpilepticTrees (who may or may not be Alucard)]] as the protagonist, fighting the [[FantasyAliens Demon Lord Galamoth]], who has brainwashed all of his minions in a bid to usurp him as Dark Lord. |
| 280 | *** ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaJudgment'' features Dracula and other villains, but as they are also playable characters, other characters feature as antagonists in their own storylines. Then there's the True Story Mode, where all the characters are trying to take down the [[SNKBoss Time Reaper]], who is trying to [[EvilVersusEvil destroy Dracula]] and change history... [[spoiler:so that his master [[VideoGame/KidDracula Lord Galamoth]], whose involvement is only revealed through a [[SayMyName random voice line]], can take his place as ruler of the Netherworld.]] |

| 499 | ** ''VideoGame/DivinityDragonCommander'': [[spoiler:Corvus the demon is responsible for every unpleasant event of the protagonist's life. Played with in that Corvus himself was defeated and bound prior to the events of the game, and the game itself is spent dealing with the mess his advanced technology and behind-the-scenes influence has made of the kingdom]]. |

| 501 | ** ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII'': Bishop Alexander [[spoiler:at first, but it later turns out to be Dallis the Hammer. In the end, however, it's a BigBadDuumvirate between Bacchus Rex and the God King]]. |

| 506 | ** ''VideoGame/DoomIIHellOnEarth'': [[MookMaker The Icon of Sin]] is the one who spawned all the enemies in the first place. Considering that it only appears once in the game, and its destruction damages ''untold miles'' of Hell's surface, we can assume that it is the big bad of the game. |
| 507 | ** ''VideoGame/Doom64'': The [[EvilMatriarch Mother Demon]] is the one who rebuilds the demon army to attack humanity once more. |
| 508 | ** ''VideoGame/Doom3'': Dr. Malcolm Betruger, who is singlehandedly responsible for the demon invasion of Mars, is both a MadScientist and an EvilSorcerer in league with Hell itself, and wants to bring about HellOnEarth.

| 528 | * ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'': For the first half of the main campaign, Morsayati fills this role, as they are the one who has kidnapped [[DamselInDistress Zethia]] and are the tyrant who is leading Alberia into chaos. [[spoiler: For most of the second half, [[EvilTwin Nedrick]] takes on the role, as he has kidnapped Zethia and his men, the Agito, are the ones antagonizing the heroes after Morsayati’s defeat. Eventually Xenos is revealed to be the true Big Bad of the entire game, as he acts as the FinalBoss and was the one responsible for all the horrible things that have happened thus far.]] |
| 529 | * ''Franchise/DragonAge'': |
| 530 | ** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' has [[WellIntentionedExtremist Loghain]], whose actions directly worsen Ferelden's chances of surviving the Blight, and [[GenericDoomsdayVillain the Archdemon]], who leads the Darkspawn and is ''causing'' the Blight to happen. |
| 531 | ** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening'' has [[TragicMonster the Mother]]. |
| 532 | ** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' deconstructs this trope. While [[spoiler:[[KnightTemplar Meredith]]]] is the FinalBoss, in the end, every party involved in the game's climax is partly to blame for how things turn out, whether by design or simply being a bit too close to the fire. Cassandra tries to find out who the BigBad was, but there is only GreyAndGrayMorality and WellIntentionedExtremist characters. |
| 533 | ** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' has [[AGodAmI the Elder One]] a.k.a. [[spoiler:Corypheus]]. |

| 547 | %%* The ''Franchise/{{Drakengard}}'' series has Big Bads for each installment. Basically, all of them are messed up ([[DysfunctionJunction as are most characters]]), and not all problems are strictly their fault: |
| 548 | %%** In ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}}'', it's [[spoiler: Manah, with the Watchers as the GreaterScopeVillain]]. |
| 549 | %%** In ''VideoGame/Drakengard2'', it seems to be [[spoiler: [[RogueProtagonist Caim]]]] but is actually [[spoiler:Gismor]]. |
| 550 | %%** In {{spinoff}} game ''VideoGame/NieR'', it is The Shadowlord, [[spoiler: except it's actually Devola and Popola, who are also sort of the BigGood]]. |
| 551 | %%** In ''VideoGame/Drakengard3'', it is apparently [[VillainProtagonist Zero]] but is actually [[spoiler:[[TheDogWasTheMastermind The Black Flower]]]]. |
| 552 | %%** In ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'', the sequel to ''[=NieR=]'', the BigBad seems to be [[spoiler: Adam and Eve, particularly the latter]], but [[spoiler: 9S [[SanitySlippage becomes villainous]]]] as the story goes on, though the true villains are [[spoiler: N2 (Terminal α and Terminal β)]]. |
| 553 | * ''VideoGame/{{Dropsy}}'': [[CorruptCorporateExecutive The S-Corporation CEO]], Dropsy's wicked older brother who's responsible for the circus fire that the town blames him for and attempts to kill Dropsy [[spoiler:to ensure that he's the only heir to the throne of his species]]. |

| 560 | * ''VideoGame/DyingLight'': Kadir "Rais" Suleiman, the leader of a brutal gang of survivors who hoard supplies and Antizen to exploit other survivors. |

| 565 | * ''VideoGame/EcoFighters'': Kernal Goyolk is the president of Goyolk K.K. who seeks to exploit Planet Elwood to line his pockets, having reduced other planets into dread spheres. |
| 566 | * ''VideoGame/EldenRing'': While the game doesn't really have one story-spanning antagonist, [[BigBadEnsemble several villainous factions and leaders of said factions]] are vying for the fate of the Lands Between: |
| 567 | ** The two of the most malicious Demigods, Praetor Rykard and Mohh the Lord of Blood, definitely count. The former has turned himself into an AnimalisticAbomination in an attempt to become powerful enough to devour the gods, driving him into hedonistic and hunger-driven immortal being who dreams of [[OmnicidalManiac devouring the world itself]], while Mohg is a mad SatanicArchetype who leads a cult of serial killers and brainwashed slaves, is attempting to ascend to god-hood by [[spoiler:attempting to corrupt his half-brother Miquella and take him as his divine consort]]. Either of them would fit as the big bads of any other RPG, but here they're mere optional stepping stones for the Tarnished and [[BigBadWannabe Big Bad Wannabes]] (altough Rykard far less so than Mohg). |
| 568 | ** The [[SentientCosmicForce Outer God of Frenzied Flame]], alongside its MouthOfSauron the Three Fingers and its apostle Shabriri, are attempting to create a lord that will scour the world of all life and fuse it back into one in an AssimilationPlot - however, unlike the other antagonists, they actually require the player character to help them. |
| 569 | ** The God of Scarlet Rot is an [[GreaterScopeVillain unseen]] [[EldritchAbomination Outer God]] who seeks to spread its malevolent disease throughout the Lands Between and consume everything and everyone - ironically, its chosen vessel, Malenia, is not this trope at all, as she has no ambitions or desire to become the Goddess of Rot or claim the Elden Ring for herself. However, she's still a dangerous ticking time bomb, as her sheer presence passively spreads the Rot (as can be seen in the Haligtree) and it's only a matter of time until she loses herself. |
| 570 | ** [[spoiler:Marika]] is the cause of the shattering of the Elden Ring, and everything that followed, [[spoiler:and though she remains unfought, her 'husband'/other half Radagon is also responsible for sealing the Erdtree and preventing anyone from becoming Elden Lord, which forces the Tarnished to unleash Destined Death to open a path to Marika]]. |
| 571 | * ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' has a different BigBad in each game, though each often serves or is at least in league with one of the series' [[OurGodsAreDifferent many deities]], often a Daedric Prince. To note: |
| 572 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsArena Arena]]'' has the [[EvilChancellor traitorous]] [[CourtMage Imperial Battlemage]] and EvilSorcerer classic Jagar Tharn in this role. Later works reveal that Tharn was secretly in league with [[OmnicidalManiac Mehrunes Dagon]], the Daedric Prince of [[DestroyerDeity Destruction]]. |
| 573 | ** ''[[VideoGame/AnElderScrollsLegendBattlespire Battlespire]]'', a DungeonCrawling spin-off game taking place during ''Arena'''s time period, has Mehrunes Dagon himself leading the [[TheLegionsOfHell Daedric invasion]] of the [[WizardingSchool Imperial Battlespire]]. |
| 574 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]]'' plays with it, having several plot relevant faction leaders without having a true Big Bad. Lord Woodborne [[spoiler:turns out to have been the one to murder the King of Daggerfall, kicking off the game's main quest]], but doesn't fit the role once the plot gets going. The Underking is the being most directly tied to the main quest and certainly looks the part of an evil villain, but [[spoiler:as it turns out, is not all that far from being a ''good guy'']]. Out of all of the faction leaders who can get what they want in the game's MultipleEndings, Mannimarco is the most malevolent and villainous in terms of his intentions, but still isn't a true Big Bad. |
| 575 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsAdventuresRedguard Redguard]]'', a ActionAdventure spin-off game which tells a smaller-scale, more personal story, has the corrupt Imperial governor Admiral Richton as the main antagonist. |
| 576 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'' has the PhysicalGod supervillain Dagoth Ur in this role. Depending on your interpretation of events leading up to and following the events of the game, [[spoiler:Azura, the Daedric Prince of Dawn and Dusk, may be either a BigGood for her role in defeating Dagoth Ur or a GreaterScopeVillain and ManipulativeBastard who manipulated these events to her own ends, ending up as a VillainWithGoodPublicity to the Dunmer people in the end]]. |
| 577 | *** The ''Tribunal'' expansion has [[spoiler:Almalexia, one of the Tribunal {{Physical God}}s who, as a result of losing her divinity due to the events of the main game, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation goes completely insane]] and AxeCrazy]]. |
| 578 | *** The ''Bloodmoon'' expansion has Hircine, the Daedric Prince of the Hunt. The plot of the expansion is essentially him finding the [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame most worthy competitors]] for his legendary hunt. |
| 579 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' has Mehrunes Dagon once again. Mythic Dawn cult leader Mankar Camoran serves as his [[TheDragon Dragon]] and [[TheHeavy Heavy]] for the main quest, with Dagon himself only showing up at the very end. |
| 580 | *** The ''Knights of the Nine'' expansion has the resurrected [[AbusivePrecursors Ayleid]] lord Umaril the Unfeathered, with the Daedric Prince Meridia as his [[GreaterScopeVillain divine backer]]. |
| 581 | *** The ''Shivering Isles'' expansion has Jyggalag, the Daedric Prince of [[ControlFreak Order]] and [[spoiler:alter-ego of [[BigGood Sheogorath]], Daedric Prince of [[MadGod Madness]]]]. |
| 582 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' has [[EvilGod Alduin]], the colossal black dragon BeastOfTheApocalypse. The secondary main plot will have either [[FourStarBadass Imperial General Tullius]] or [[RebelLeader Stormcloak leader Ulfric Stormcloak]] in this role depending on which side you choose to support. In either case, the [[AntiHumanAlliance Aldmeri]] [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Dominion]] is the GreaterScopeVillain to either side, with each having different opinions of the best way to deal with them in the inevitable second Great War. |
| 583 | *** The ''Dawnguard'' DLC has [[VampireMonarch Lord Harkon]], the leader of the Volkihar [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] clan. |
| 584 | *** The ''Dragonborn'' DLC has Miraak, the [[EvilCounterpart First Dragonborn]]. He is in service to the Daedric Prince Hermaeus Mora, who serves as a GreaterScopeVillain [[spoiler:and [[TheBadGuyWins gets exactly what he wants]] in the end]]. |
| 585 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline Online]]'' has Molag Bal, the Daedric Prince of [[TheCorrupter Corruption]] and Domination, in this role. |
| 586 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsBlades Blades]]'' has Celemaril [[LightIsNotGood Light-Bringer]], and ancient SorcerousOverlord who was inadvertently [[SealedEvilInACan unsealed from his tomb]]. |
| 587 | * ''VideoGame/ElevatorRitual'': [[spoiler:Professor Kumozoru]] is the one who turned everyone in the Rainbow Hotel into monsters [[spoiler:with his formula]] and is the FinalBoss who Naysilla must defeat before she can return to her world. |

| 589 | * ''VideoGame/ElseHeartbreak'' has [[spoiler:The Ministry, who want to regulate use of Modifiers]]. |
| 590 | * ''VideoGame/EmbricOfWulfhammersCastle'': [[spoiler:[[HotAsHell Azreala D'Fleur]]/Tierra del Fuego]] is revealed in the Final Ending as the one behind all the villains the Duchess has faced, as [[spoiler:the events are the Duchess dreaming of the future, but Azraela is influencing the dreams to feed on her despair]]. |
| 591 | * ''VideoGame/EmeraldCityConfidential'': [[CardCarryingVillain The First and Foremost Phanfasm]], who Petra must stop from plunging Oz into war once again, [[spoiler:as well as save her brother from his clutches.]] |
| 592 | * ''VideoGame/EmeraldDragon'': The Demon King Galshia [[spoiler:fits this for most of the game, but he's later revealed to working for the true Big Bad, Tiridates]]. |
| 593 | * ''VideoGame/EndRoll'': [[spoiler:The Indecent One]] is the source of the monsters in Russell’s dream, and his biggest tormentor. [[spoiler:She represents Russell’s [[AbusiveParents abusive mother]].]] |
| 594 | * Every ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy'' game after the second[[note]]The final boss of the first game is just another, bigger monster fought, while the final boss of the second is a WellIntentionedExtremist trying to take over the world with no affiliation with any of the previous enemies[[/note]] has a major villain behind the events of the game: |
| 595 | ** ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy3'': Akron, a demonic being accidentally freed by the heroes poking him with their weapons. His awakening creates a black hole around him and disturbs the surrounding area. |
| 596 | ** ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy4'': [[spoiler:Godcat is the one behind the events of the game, getting a group of Cats to steal the three jewels to revive her so she can wipe out humanity. She is also revealed to have created Akron]]. |
| 597 | ** ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy5'': [[spoiler:The Devourer, the creator of the entire ''Epic Battle Fantasy'' universe, kicks off the plot by being fed up with the party's free will and sending Cosmic Monoliths to observe them. The dark energy from the Cosmic Monoliths corrupts the land around them and makes the wildlife hostile, indirectly causing most of the enemies to fight the party and most of the conflict in the game. It is at a higher order than Godcat or Akron and is in fact the creator of the former]]. |
| 598 | * ''VideoGame/EpicSeven'' has one per Episode. |
| 599 | ** Episode One, ''The Heir of the Covenant'', focuses on Anghraf the Archdemon, the being responsible for destroying the world ''six times.'' |

[[spoiler: The real mastermind behind all the wars, however, is Belian, Android Ruler of Politia, who wishes to assimilate the power of a dark being known as Tiwig.]] |
| 602 | * ''VideoGame/EternalRadiance'': Eldareth is the leader of the Shadowborn, an organization that steal Akleim artifacts and assassinates anyone who tries to investigate or obstruct them. [[spoiler:He's not the first leader of the organization, but he is the one ordering the recent thefts and plans to use the artifacts to destroy the Shadowborn while most of them are gathered at their base. This has the risk of destroying all of Darencia, which is why the protagonists have to stop him.]] |

Later, it turns out his real plan is for Rubellum to be the host of the Calypso and that his vision for the world is actually similar to Rubellum's, but his plans still end up with quite a lot of collateral damage. |

In the ''Evil Goddess'' route, Dorfa [[spoiler:isn’t even a threat anymore as it’s been disbanded, and there is a new organization, the Septerion Club, ruled by Jeane/Junown, who wants to revive the titular Evil Goddess]]. |
| 631 | * ''VideoGame/FaithTheUnholyTrilogy'': The first two chapters has the demon only known as the UNSPEAKABLE. In Chapter I, it is possessing Amy Martin, whom John Ward is trying to exorcise.

| 639 | ** ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'': Caesar[[note]]a little trickier since there's an ending path where you join him, but he's still obviously the central figure in the main conflict, and siding with him merely makes your character a VillainProtagonist[[/note]], with Legate Lanius as TheDragon, who becomes the DragonAscendant should you kill Caesar and is the FinalBoss of three out of four endings. Aside from Caesar, the {{D|ownloadableContent}}LCs all have their own Big Bads: |

| 646 | * ''VideoGame/{{Fantasian}}'': While it initially seems like Vam the Malevolent in the main villain, given that he's the one who released the Mechtaria in an attempt to prevent the world from being consumed by order, it's soon revealed that Jas is the greater threat, who seeks to destroy the world and remake it with him as its god. |
| 647 | * ''VideoGame/FantasyMaidensOddHideout'': [[spoiler:Bernd's {{unnamed|Parents}} father]] is the one who is trying to kill Ange and is thus responsible for her being trapped in the [[CrapsaccharineWorld gingerbread house]], [[spoiler:though [[WellIntentionedExtremist he's doing it to protect the village]]- [[VanHelsingHateCrimes it just so happens]] that [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Ange]] is a TragicMonster]]. |

| 651 | ** The [[VideoGame/FarCry3 third game]] it looks to be Vaas Montenegro, [[spoiler: but it's really [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Hoyt Volker]]]]. |

The true mastermind is King Solomon, who commands all 72 Demon God Pillars… except he turns out to be the King of all Demon Gods, Beast I: Goetia, who has hijacked Solomon's body, and the real Solomon is actually the BigGood, Dr. Romani Archaman]]. |
| 660 | ** ''Arcade'': [[spoiler:In this timeline, Queen Draco (Beast VI), Mother of Harlots, has replaced Goetia in the role of summoning Demon Pillars to do her bidding]]. |
| 661 | ** ''Epic of Remnant'': [[spoiler:Four Demon God Pillars who escaped during the protagonist's final battle with Goetia. By order of Pseudo-Singularity, they are Bael in Shinjuku, [[BigBadDuumvirate working with James Moriarty,]] Zepar in SE.RA.PH. until he is usurped by Kiara, Phenex in Agartha, [[BigBadDuumvirate working with Scheherazade,]] and Räum in Salem until he summons an Outer God named Sut-Typhon (implied to be Yog-Sothoth) that uses Abigail Williams as a vessel]]. The only ArcVillain that isn't a Demon God Pillar is [[spoiler:Sorceror Amakusa Shiro Tokisada in Shimousa, but he's being manipulated by the Caster of Limbo, Ashiya Douman]]. |
| 662 | ** ''Cosmos in the Lostbelt'': [[spoiler: The Foreign God, who serves as the GreaterScopeVillain for all the other stories before finally taking center stage in this saga. Kirschtaria Wodime is TheHeavy for five out of seven Lostbelts, only to meet his end during the events of the fifth one as the Foreign God descends upon the world using its unwitting ultimate Disciple - a resurrected Olga Marie Animusphere - as its host body: U-Olga Marie. In the final Lostbelt, the Foreign God's secret identity is revealed to be that of the Foreign World itself, CHALDEAS, the global environmental sphere model that has been an integral part of Chaldea all this time]]. |
| 663 | ** ''Ordeal Call'': [[spoiler:The Foreign God CHALDEAS remains out of reach, though it is still the driving force behind the plot. Its vessel U-Olga Marie is revived and split by Count Alessandro di Cagliostro - a Disciple of CHALDEAS - into four Elemental Derivatives, the E-Olga Marie Lostbits, all of whom form a BigBadEnsemble as they are not exactly loyal to it or each other, though the E-Olga Marie of Joy is stated by E-Aqua Marie (who represents Comfort) to be an awful monster far beyond the others.]] Meanwhile, the Ordeal Call singularities each have their own ArcVillain, Paper Moon featuring [[spoiler:Rani XIII and her Archer Durga (who becomes Kali, the FinalBoss)]] while Id has a different version of [[spoiler:Edmond Dantès, Le Comte de Monte Cristo]]. [[spoiler:Cagliostro]] attempts to one-up him, but [[spoiler:he gets outplayed by Edmond and ends up being more of a PostFinalBoss]]. |
| 664 | * ''VideoGame/FearEffect'': Yim Lau Wong, the Chinese King of Hell who plans to use Wee to kickstart the apocalypse. |

| 670 | ** ''Streetwise'': Father Bella, who masterminded the GLOW outbreak in Metro City so he may take it over and become its savior. |

While Alma has undeniably been wronged, her revenge is... [[MindRape rather extreme]]. Fettel, as revealed by the end of the third game, [[spoiler: plans to consume Alma's power in order to take over the world]]. As for Aristide, she just wants to keep her job, and to hell with anyone who has to die in order for her to do so. Events would never have gotten as hellish as they did if any one of them wasn't in the picture. For the first game and its expansions at least, Paxton Fettel is undeniably the main antagonist: he's the one controlling all the Replica soldiers and directing them in an effort to free Alma. |
| 672 | * The ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' series is home to quite a few per game. |
| 673 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem'' and their remakes have the BigBadDuumvirate of the Earth Dragon Medeus, and the Dark Pontifex Gharnef. |
| 674 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden'' and its remake ''Echoes: Shadows of Valentia'': |
| 675 | *** For the majority of the games, the main villain is Rudolf, TheEmperor of Rigel who wants to TakeOverTheWorld [[spoiler:or so he claims; in actuality, he wants to create a Valentia free of the influence of the degenerating Mila and Duma, and engineered the war so that [[SecretTestOfCharacter his heir, Albein Alm Rudolf II, and Princess Anthiese/Celica of Zofia will rise to kill him and gain the necessary strength to defeat Duma]]]]. |
| 676 | *** After Rudolf's defeat the main villain is the Fell God, Duma [[spoiler:though he's actually a pretty okay guy; he just has some cosmic-scale sibling rivalry and a wee bit of [[SanitySlippage draconic degeneration]] going on]]. |
| 677 | *** Once Duma is defeated in the main story, [[spoiler:the Creation, a much younger Grima from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'',]] takes over as the final villain during the post-game StoryArc of ''Echoes''. |
| 678 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'': |
| 679 | *** The first generation has Manfroy, HighPriest of the Loptr Church who wants to revive the GodOfEvil Loptous. |
| 680 | *** During the second half of the game, the main antagonist spot is claimed [[TheEvilPrince the Dark Prince Julius]], Loptous' human vessel. Manfroy is still around as his [[TheDragon Dragon]], though. |
| 681 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776'', a "midquel" to the two halves of the fourth, has the dark priest Veld, though he's actually Manfroy's second-in-command. |
| 682 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'' has King Zephiel as the Main Villain who seeks to wipe out humanity and return the continent of Elibe to Dragon controlled rule. [[spoiler: Largely as a result of being targeted and nearly killed multiple times by his Jerkass, and highly jealous father King Desmond of Bern. This caused [[WoobieDestroyerofWorlds Zephiel]] to believe that humanity is [[HumansAreBastards Irredemable]] and deserving of extermination.]] |
| 683 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'' (formerly titled just ''Fire Emblem'' in the English release) first focuses on Lundgren, as he's trying to kill Lyn so he can rightfully ascend to the throne of Caelin, but he's just the villain in Lyn's Tale. In the main story, there's the power-hungry Marquess Darin of Laus at first, [[spoiler:but the true wirepuller is the Dark Druid Nergal; having lost his purpose of reuniting with his lost family[[note]]with heavy implications that Ninian and Nils are his children[[/note]], he now seeks to open the Dragon's Gate so that the dragons beyond may burn the world down.]] |
| 684 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'' features the Demon King, Formortiis, as the main enemy. He had been defeated by five heroes centuries ago, but he has been revived due to [[spoiler:Lyon's creation of the Dark Stone from Grado's Sacred Stone]]. He is directly responsible for the invasion of Magvel by Grado, and the appearance of monsters across Magvel. Using the naive Prince Lyon to resurrect and control the corpse his father Emperor Vigarde, to invade the other Magvel Nations, starting with Renais in an attempt to destroy their Sacred Stones which sealed away his body. In Ephraim's route, [[spoiler:Lyon]]'s behavior is much more independent as he willingly serves the Demon King, although it's still implied that he is being influenced and manipulated by the Fomortiis into doing his bidding. in Eirika's route however, Fomortiis is instead in full control of [[spoiler:Lyon's body]], making him in both routes the direct Big Bad of the game. |
| 685 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'' stars Ashnard, king of Daein, as the primary antagonist. He desires a world in which the strong dominate the weak, and he seeks to use Lehran's Medallion to awaken a Dark God and gain power. He is the final boss, and most of the earlier bosses are working for him. This includes the Four Riders, most notably the BlackKnight. |
| 686 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'' mainly has Duke Lekian, who masterminds many of the events, but the game is divided into four parts, each part having its own big bad. In Part I, the primary antagonist is Jarod, a Begnion general who seeks to suppress the Dawn Brigade's uprising in Daein. In Part II, it is Lord Ludveck, who wants to displace Queen Elincia as ruler of Crimea. Part III is unique, in that you alternately play as opposing armies; it could be considered Micaiah, or Ike, but it would better be considered Lekain himself, who orchestrated Pelleas' signing of the blood pact and forced him into a war he had no dog in. In part IV, [[spoiler:the true antagonists of the entire Tellius saga are [[EvilAllAlong revealed to be]] Sephiran/Lehran, the seemingly kind [[SinisterMinister priest]] who was [[TheManBehindTheMan manipulating both Ashnard and Lekian]] who is the true Big Bad, and [[GodIsEvil Goddess Ashera]], the evil and [[OrderIsNotGood order-obsessed]] counterpart to Yune ([[GoodAllAlong the supposed Dark God Ashnard wanted]]) who seeks to destroy the world, which she has deemed irredeemable, at the urging of Lehran]]. |
| 687 | ** The main villain of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' is Validar, the priest of the ReligionOfEvil for [[GreaterScopeVillain Grima, the fell dragon]] who manipulates the various other {{Arc Villain}}s into ensuring Grima's return. [[spoiler:Once Validar has been killed for good, Grima himself, in possession of the future Avatar's body and having traveled into the past along with Lucina and her friends, takes center stage as he resurrects his past self and prepares to destroy the world as he had done in the future.]] |
| 688 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' changes who the Big Bad is depending on the route. |
| 689 | *** On the ''Birthright'' route, TinTyrant Garon is the singular main villain you must defeat, although [[spoiler:his last words hint at a greater evil lurking in the shadows]]. |
| 690 | *** On the ''Conquest'' route, Garon is part of a BigBadEnsemble with HeroAntagonist Ryoma, as you must conquer Hoshido and defeat Ryoma in order to bring the war to a close and then kill Garon to bring peace to the land. [[spoiler:After they're dead, Takumi is resurrected by an unseen greater evil and becomes the FinalBoss, having become hell-bent on killing Corrin and razing Nohr to the ground.]] |
| 691 | *** On the ''Revelation'' route and for the game overall, [[spoiler: Anankos is responsible for every bad thing that happens in all three routes and is the main enemy who must be destroyed]]. |
| 692 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' initially sets up a BigBadDuumvirate of the Flame Emperor (who is actually [[spoiler:Edelgard von Hresvelg]]) and Thales, leader of "those who slither in the dark" (who spends much of the game impersonating [[spoiler:Lord Volkhard von Arundel]]). Between the two of them, they're the cause of almost all the bad things the happen in the game, but the truth of the situation is more complicated. Thales is the one who made the Flame Emperor what they are and caused their StartOfDarkness while they serve as his DragonInChief who does most of the work and is the more visible antagonist while he remains hidden in the background (due to being the [[spoiler:Emperor of Adrestia]] while the very existence of "those who slither in the dark" is a secret to most people). However, the Flame Emperor actually hates Thales and [[TheStarscream plans to betray him and his faction as soon as they accomplish their mutual goals]]. Which one takes more prominence depends on the route you pick: |
| 693 | *** In Azure Moon, [[spoiler:Edelgard]] is the single clear-cut Big Bad for the whole route. [[spoiler:You actually do face and kill Thales in this route, but he dies before her and you never learn his true identity or importance]]. This is ironic since [[spoiler:some of his past deeds that Edelgard had no involvement in are very important to the story of this route, but you don't learn the full truth about them]]. |
| 694 | *** In Verdant Wind and Silver Snow, [[spoiler:Edelgard]] is TheHeavy for most of the route, leaving Thales as the sole villain after their death. However, he's not actually the final boss of either route, as there's one more battle after you fight him. On Verdant Wind, [[spoiler:"those who slither in the dark" succeed in resurrecting the PredecessorVillain Nemesis, who fights you in one last battle alongside TheRemnant of "those who slither"]]. On Silver Snow, [[spoiler:Rhea goes insane from overusing her powers and forces you to MercyKill her (unless you got an A-support with her, in which case she survives)]]. |
| 695 | *** In Crimson Flower, on the other hand, you [[spoiler:side with Edelgard]], so the Big Bad is instead [[spoiler:Archbishop Rhea]], while "those who slither in the dark" are reduced to being defeated offscreen in the epilogue. |
| 696 | *** In theory, Thales is the closest thing to the game has to a single Big Bad overall and is the only one to be an antagonist on all four routes, but you can make the case that the real "Big Bad" of the game is [[spoiler:the ancient conflict between the Agarthans (the ancestors of those who slither in the dark) and Children of the Goddess (of whom Rhea and her followers are the last), and the CycleOfRevenge between them that has perpetuated to the present day. Almost every problem in the setting is a result of their conflicts, and every route's ending results in those who remain on both sides either dead or having lost their power]]. |
| 697 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage'': Sombron is the Fell Dragon, and quite possibly the biggest and baddest villain in the mainline series yet, [[spoiler:considering he summons many of the past final bosses as the Dark Emblems in order to serve him as his puppets, and he's more powerful than all of them. He wants to destroy all opposition across the world and obtain all Emblem Rings so that he may find the Emblem of Foundations]]. |
| 698 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' has a different Big Bad for each book. |
| 699 | *** Book 1 focuses on Veronica, princess of the Emblian Empire, [[spoiler: until her big brother Bruno takes over as the true main villain and reveals that he and Veronica where manipulated by a GreaterScopeVillain: Embla]]. |
| 700 | *** Book 2 starts off with a BigBadDuumvirate between Veronica and Surtr, king of Múspell, but [[spoiler:Surtr betrays her and becomes the sole main villain from that point forward. Veronica, for her part, has a HeelFaceTurn at the end of the book]]. |
| 701 | *** Book 3 focuses on Hel, ruler of the land of the dead. |
| 702 | *** Book 4 focuses on Freyja, ruler of Dökkálfheimr, the realm of nightmares. |
| 703 | *** Book 5 focuses on Fáfnir, the once-kind ruler of Niðavellir who has gone insane and now hungers for conquest. [[spoiler:He's just a brainwashed pawn, though; the true villain is the sorceress Eitri, who will go to any lengths to expand Niðavellir's power.]] |
| 704 | *** Book 6 focuses on Embla, the GreaterScopeVillain of Book 1 and goddess of the Emblian Empire who wants to destroy the royal family of Askr [[spoiler:and was manipulating Veronica and Bruno in Book 1 to fulfill this goal]]. |
| 705 | *** Book 7 focuses on Gullveig, an extratemporal being who seeks to destroy the present. [[spoiler:It later turns out that King Njörðr of Vanaheimr was the one who orchestrated her creation in order to destroy humans to satisfy his own vanity, but Gullveig kills him shortly after this is revealed, holding on to the position of "main villain".]] |
| 706 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriors'' ostensibly has King Oskar of Gristonne who seeks to revive Velezark, the evil Chaos Dragon of legend. However [[spoiler:Oskar dies as TheUnfought, leaving a Velezark possessed Darios to take the role of BigBad]]. |
| 707 | ** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriorsThreeHopes'', the main antagonist slot is occupied by [[CorruptChurch Rhea, Archbishop of the Church of Seiros]] and/or [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Thales, leader of "those who slither in the dark"]], with the specifics depending on route. [[TinTyrant Edelgard von Hresvelg, emperor of the Adrestian Empire]] is also a major antagonist on two routes, but she is always eclipsed by a greater threat somehow. |
| 708 | *** On the Scarlet Blaze route, Rhea and Thales form a BigBadEnsemble and oppose you in equal measure. Edelgard, for her part, is TheHero of this route. |
| 709 | *** On the Azure Gleam route, you initially face Edelgard, but [[spoiler:she is ambushed and brainwashed by Thales midway through the game, leaving him the clear-cut BigBad]]. Rhea, for her part, is a SupportingLeader and ally throughout the route. |
| 710 | *** On the Golden Wildfire route, you initially face Edelgard, but [[spoiler:Claude eventually decides he likes the Church less and turns Leicester against them, leaving Rhea the clear-cut BigBad]]. Thales, for his part, falls off Claude's radar and never shows up in person. |
| 711 | * ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'': |
| 712 | ** The franchise-wide BigBad is William Afton, a child-murdering SerialKiller whose victims go on to haunt the animatronics and try to kill you. Anything from the franchise can be connected to him. |
| 713 | ** In ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys1'', the titular Freddy Fazbear has this role, being the leader of the animatronics and your greatest threat. |
| 714 | ** In ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2'', the Puppet has this role, as she is the one who gave life to the murdered children, allowing them to possess the animatronics. However, later games repaint her as the ''BigGood''. A really misguided GoodIsNotNice BigGood, but one nevertheless. |
| 715 | ** In ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'', we have Springtrap, who is William himself after suffering a brutal death [[AssholeVictim that he totally deserved]]. |
| 716 | ** ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4'' has a BigBadEnsemble. The villain of the minigames [[BigBrotherBully the Brother]], who bullied the minigame protagonist [[spoiler:and accidentally killed him by stuffing him into Fredbear's mouth, giving us The Bite of '83]]. In the nights, Nightmare Fredbear will be your biggest threat. |
| 717 | ** ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation'' has Circus Baby, who manipulates the protagonist, [[spoiler:Michael Afton]], up until night 5 where she, now a part of Ennard, reveals her true plan moments before [[spoiler:killing Michael. [[BackFromTheDead He gets better.]]]] |
| 718 | ** ''VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator'' has Springtrap, now known as simply Afton, and Baby, now known as Scrap Baby, who came to this location to murder children, and have the most focus out of every other animatronic. However, [[EvilerThanThou Afton is clearly superior]]. |
| 719 | ** ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysVRHelpWanted'' has the virus known best as Glitchtrap, William BackFromTheDead for the second time. He is the main reason for the creation of the tapes scattered across the game, and tries to [[spoiler:leave the game by possessing your body]]. |
| 720 | ** ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach'' has Vanny, who hacked the animatronics and is hunting Gregory on [[GreaterScopeVillain Glitchtrap]]'s orders. The ''Ruin'' DLC has [[spoiler:the Mimic, a dangerous robot that impersonates Gregory to lure Cassie into freeing it]]. |
| 721 | * ''VideoGame/TheFlowerCollectors'': Haussmann is a CorruptPolitician who is not behind the murder of the Mole and the rampant political violence depicted, but he is also responsible for creating the eponymous Flower Collectors, a raid unit that went around suppressing any anti-nationist figures in Spain; the unit in question ended up killing no less than a dozen innocent people, and Haussmann has been spending his time as a politician to cover-up his past misdeeds. |
| 722 | * ''VideoGame/ForHonor'': Apollyon, the warlord of the Blackstone Legion who finds the concept of peace so distasteful that she deliberately provokes the three factions to continue warring against each other. |
| 723 | * ''VideoGame/ForestOfDrizzlingRain'': The Kotori Obake is a malicious {{Youkai}} who kidnaps children who step foot in her forest, and Shiori must rescue Sakuma from her and escape her to avoid becoming her next victim. |
| 724 | * ''VideoGame/ForeverHome'': The rogue Tren general and main antagonist of the game, Barclyss, is determined to wipe out all life on the planet because he believes life is meaningless. To that end, he slaughters countless people to turn them into undead soldiers and later uses an orbital fortress, Affliction, to blast the planet's surface into oblivion. While he's not the leader of his country, he's the biggest threat in the story and even the actual leader of his country teams up with the heroes to stop him. |
| 725 | * ''VideoGame/ForgottenWorlds'' has the Celestial Emperor Bios, a powerful being bent on taking over all life on the universe, one planet at a time. |
| 726 | * ''VideoGame/{{Forspoken}}'': [[BigBadEnsemble The four Tantas]], the once-benevolent rulers of the realm turned wicked tyrants, are the biggest threat Frey must face on her journey, with Tanta Sila[[note]]The Tanta of Strength[[/note]] in particular being described as the most formidable of the four, and is the one most directly hunting Frey. [[spoiler:However, the true villain is Cuff, who turns out to be Susurrus, an ancient demon from Athia's past that wants to destroy the land, whom the four Tantas sealed inside themselves. [[GreaterScopeVillainThis eventually drove them insane]]. Once Frey kills the other three cuffed Tantas, Susurrus is able to reassemble himself and attempts to pull a YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness on Frey.]] |
| 727 | * The Platform/DSiWare game entitled ''Foto Face: The Face Stealer Strikes'' has the professor as the antagonist, though the description of the game mentions the professor as the Face Stealer. The professor copies your face and then causes you pure hell by wrecking havoc, causing some to blame you, while some are working for the professor, and the remaining others don't know what the heck they are doing, attacking you for no reason. However, six of the characters are not evil. Anyway, you have to chase down the professor and fight him. |
| 728 | * ''VideoGame/FragileDreamsFarewellRuinsOfTheMoon'' has Shin, a MadScientist who wants to bring about the end of the world using the Glass Cage [[spoiler:after its effects drove him to madness]]. |
