Subpages cleanup: Complete Monster

Go To

During the investigation of recent hollers in the Complete Monster thread, it's become apparent to the staff that an insular, unfriendly culture has evolved in the Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard threads that is causing problems.

Specific issues include:

  • Overzealous hollers on tropers who come into the threads without being familiar with all the rules and traditions of the tropes. And when they are familiar with said rules and traditions, they get accused (with little evidence) of being ban evaders.
  • A few tropers in the thread habitually engage in snotty, impolite mini-modding. There are also regular complaints about excessive, offtopic "socializing" posts.
  • Many many thread regulars barely post/edit anywhere else, making the threads look like they are divorced from the rest of TV Tropes.
  • Following that, there are often complaints about the threads and their regulars violating wiki rules, such as on indexing, crosswicking, example context and example categorization. Some folks are working on resolving the issues, but...
  • Often moderator action against thread regulars leads to a lot of participants suddenly showing up in the moderation threads to protest and speak on their behalf, like a clique.

It is not a super high level problem, but it has been going on for years and we cannot ignore it any longer. There will be a thread in Wiki Talk to discuss the problem; in the meantime there is a moratorium on further Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard example discussion until we have gotten this sorted out.

Update: The new threads have been made and can be found here:

Please see the Frequently Asked Questions and Common Requests List before suggesting any new entries for this trope.

IMPORTANT: To avoid a holler to the mods, please see here for the earliest date a work can be discussed, (usually two weeks from the US release), as well as who's reserved discussion.

When voting, you must specify the candidate(s). No blanket votes (i.e. "[tup] to everyone I missed").

No plagiarism: It's fair to source things, but an effortpost must be your own work and not lifted wholesale from another source.

We don't care what other sites think about a character being a Complete Monster. We judge this trope by our own criteria. Repeatedly attempting to bring up other sites will earn a suspension.

What is the Work

Here you briefly describe the work in question and explain any important setting details. Don't assume that everyone is familiar with the work in question.

Who is the Candidate and What have they Done?

This will be the main portion of the Effort Post. Here you list all of the crimes committed by the candidate. For candidates with longer rap sheets, keep the list to their most important and heinous crimes, we don't need to hear about every time they decide to do something minor or petty.

Do they have any Mitigating Factors or Freudian Excuse?

Here you discuss any potential redeeming or sympathetic features the character has, the character's Freudian Excuse if they have one, as well as any other potential mitigating factors like Offscreen Villainy or questions of moral agency. Try to present these as objectively as possible by presenting any evidence that may support or refute the mitigating factors.

Do they meet the Heinousness Standard?

Here you compare the actions of the Candidate to other character actions in the story in order to determine if they stand out or not. Remember that all characters, not just other villains, contribute to the Heinousness Standard

Final Verdict?

Simply state whether or not you think the character counts or not.

Few effortposts. First? The final Yamato one.

Now, from the film continuity...namely the third and fourth Yamato films, Yamato: the New Voyage and Be Forever, Yamato...the crew of the Yamato receives a cry for help from their allies on the planet Iscandar being besieged by a mysterious and powerful new enemy: The Dark Nebula Empire, led by the evil emperor Scaldart.

Who is Scaldart and what does he do?

Scaldart is the one who acts as the Bigger Bad to The New Voyage...having Iscandar ruthlessly bombed and attacked to almost completely wipe out the Iscandarians when the Yamato arrives. While we only hear his voice, it's clear what Scaldart's involvement is. The Dark Nebula is basically a plague under him: going from world to world to ruthlessly stirp them of resources and then destroy them. Throughout The New Voyage, the movie focuses on the fight with Yamato and the Dark Nebula fleet. Unfortunately, at the end, Iscandar can't be saved as its ruler, Queen Starsha, entrusts her daughter to her lover Mamoru and sacrifices her life by blowing up her planet to wipe out the dark Nebula fleet.

Scaldart, however, leads his forces to conquer earth with Yamato out after minimal struggle, wiping out earth's fleets. They set up a hyperon bomb capable of destroying half of earth, which will also...agonizingly melt the brains of every human being from the fallout. When anyone protests in the government, they're simply executed.

Yamato ends up basically launched into a time warp, going into the future where they finally meet Scaldart personally, who's turned earth into a nightmarish dystopia. Initially acting as a pleasant sort who wished to preserve earth's culture, Scaldart soon reveals his true colors, having been trying to trap and destroy Yamato, the one threat to his reign. He also incinerates the very surface of earth there. Sasha, the daughter of Starsha and Mamoru, now an adult, manages to open the path for Yamato into the core of the Dark Nebula base of Dezarium. Furious, Scaldart attempts to detonate the hyperon bomb. Sasha manages to stop him, but Scaldart fatally shoots her before being mortally wounded in turn before he's destroyed with Dezarium's destruction.

Mitigating Qualities?

No. Scaldart has no care for anyone, his fellow Dark Nebulans included. In fact, we even see factions of the Dark Nebula Empire who are better people, and utterly revolted by Scaldart, so no Always Chaotic Evil here.

Heinousness?

Passes it easily. He's a genocidal tyrant with a TON of blood on his hands. Conclusion?

Easy keeper and the thrid and final one for Yamato, plus the only one in the film continuity where Zoldar and Bemlaze are form the TV series

This entry is still pretty cramped as the most description comes to a whole group in general rather than Those Two Guys. Even if it won't be cut, it should be rewritten.

Did Bombshock get enough votes? This was up on Wikizilla Roleplay:

  • Complete Monster: Bombshock is an Ax-Crazy Insecticon mad bomber who has absolutely no standards or redeeming qualities to balance out his evil. Obsessed with causing mass devastation with his explosives, Bombshock was so repulsive and cruel in his twisted ways of killing, even other Decepticons like Hardshell and Tarn despised him. Following the demise of his loyal second-in-command Scurrydown, Bombshock shrugged him off and claimed that he didn't need anymore anyways, as he got the bomb he wanted. Bombshock also used his own men as suicide bombers, killing them off just to kill some civilians and then slashed Gamoni's throat, to which he gloated about to Hardshell. His ultimate plan was to go to Mt. Saint Helens where he would release his deadliest weapon known as "Bombshock's Special" into the volcano, which would have activated the volcano and cause an explosion, spreading toxic gases that could've spread out and kill off everyone on Earth in a few months. During his fight with Hardshell, he then mocks and gloats some more on how far he's come and can't be stopped. Demented, twisted, sadistic and utterly vile in every way, Bombshock was one the darker villains to ever grace the RPVerse.

In Defender, in the "Dolphin's Nightmare" stages, the oceans are ruled by the Clan, a group of racist, cruel dolphins who torment outcast dolphins and other marine life. The Clan is lead by the Exalted Ones, and under their orders, members of the Clan engage in such atrocities as capturing whales to use as living generators, cutting off the food supplies of an outcast village and later siccing sharks on the villagers, and torturing a member of the dolphin resistance group. While the lead Exalted One, Mutaclone, does display somewhat of a positive side, "the two unnamed Exalted Ones show no redeeming traits at all, with one of them even stating "Compassion is a weakness".''

Okay then. Still, this entry looks pretty wierd IMHO.

BTW, I proposed a rewrite for The Doctor from Dead by Daylight but it was ignored back then.

Here is my rewrite:

Complete Monster: Herman Carter, also known as "The Doctor", lacks any redeeming qualities in contrast to many other killers, who have some form of tragedy or sympathy in their backstory. At first, he was simply a lunatic that became fascinated with the brain. However, as the time went on, Carter became drunk on the power his human experimentation gave him. His sadistic streak made him notorious among the organization that hired him, mostly because of constant screaming and crying coming from his lab. Eventually, Herman turned on his mentor and brutally murdered him before The Entity took note of him and gave him his current powers just to cause more madness. Even as a Killer, The Doctor clearly revels in the misery and madness he causes to the survivors. While most of the Killers rely on power and strength to claim their victims, The Doctor is a sadistic monster who specifically relies on Mind Rape to claim lives.

What do you think about it?

After turning into a cyborg, Shishigami believed he lost his humanity and started killing random people with his powers to feel more alive. Some of his victims included children. However, he's shown to not be completely heartless. When his actions made the media, he tried to stop killing when his mother called the killer scum, not knowing it was him. He only relapsed after he was exposed as the killer and an internet troll doxxed his mother, leading her to get hounded by the media, shamed by the public for raising a killer, and commit suicide. He then tried to quit murder again after a classmate of his gave him a place to stay and even tried using his powers for good like Inuyashiki, but relapsed again when the classmate was nearly killed in a police raid, leading to his biggest killing spree. After Inuyashiki fights him and leaves him armless, his next attempt at redemption becomes final when he and Inuyashiki perform a Heroic Sacrifice to destroy a meteor headed for earth.

At first, Shishigami seems like a likely candidate, but he has enough Pet the Dog moments to bar him and he makes a legitimate effort to stop killing, only to fall like a junkie struggling with an addiction the second something goes wrong with his life.

A 'Yes' to Scaldart and Arcane.

Speaking of Arcane, I wanted to inquire as to whether any would mind if I rewrote his current write-up at DC Comics. It's alright enough, but could REALLY use some more detail and expansion of his other nasty crimes. I also don't think he needs to be potholed as "Big Bad." Here it is for reference:

  • Anton Arcane is a Mad Scientist turned Evil Sorcerer obsessed with immortality and its secrets. First seen attempting to steal the Swamp Thing's body, Arcane failed and died in the attempt. His soul, however, returned from hell to steal the body of his niece Abigail Arcane's husband, Matthew Cable. In the guise of Matthew, Anton raped Abigail and consigned her soul to hell in his place. In his new position on earth, Arcane attempted to drive reality itself to insanity, using the souls of resurrected serial killers to cause destruction as the innocent succumb to savage, homicidal urges.

Any objections to a rewrite?

No! That is NOT Solid Snake! Stop impersonating him!

I was hoping to get this posted after this weeks batch comes up, but I thought "What the Hell ?"

So here's Vilmer's entry.

  • Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation: Vilmer Sawyer stands out as a particularly deranged and vicious member of the Sawyer clan as their new leader. An agent for an organization that seeks to spread fear, Vilmer goes above and beyond the organizations standards and orders with his brutality. When a group of high schoolers get into an accident, Vilmer is introduced seemingly helping Sean with an unconscious victim, already declaring the victim dead when he breaks his neck and than running over Sean, and showing their bodies to Jenny. Vilmer frequently abuses and torments his family, including his lover Darla, who implies that she is a hostage with Stockholm Syndrome, and even strangles her with his mechanical leg. With Heather as a tortured hostage of the Sawyers, Vilmer has her set on fire to entertain himself and when that doesn't kill her, slowly crushes her head under his foot. When belittled by his superior Rothman, Vilmer blows off steam by self mutilating, and killing his brother W.E, before setting Leatheface loose onto Jenny, and killing an elderly couple that tries to help her. With the depravity of Vilmer's massacre, the organization eventually has to step in and kill him, thinking he's gone to far.

  • The Testament Of Sister New Devil:
    • Zolgia is the first major villain encountered by Basara Tojo and his friends. A hedonistic Demon Marquis who helped overthrow Mio's father, Demon Lord Willbyr, Zolgia desires to restart a war to show how amazing he is on the battlefield, and also murdered Mio's foster parents, a pair of kind demon orphanage owners. Zolgia regularly abducts other attractive young men and women to rape, relishing in the pain from breaking their pacts to other masters and servants while having them and others' minds broken to serve as doll-like playthings for his amusement. Zolgia's loyal creation Zest fails no better, as Zolgia plans to rape her and dispose of her when she ceases to be of use before replacing her with an identical clone to repeat the cycle.
    • Belphegor, head of the demon council, is known as a war hero to the demon realm but is in truth a monstrous killer who masterminded Lord Willbyr's fall using Lord Leohart as a proxy. Having murdered Leohart's foster parents, he threatens the life of Leohart's adoptive sister and lover Liala to force his compliance. Having helped to create the demon god Chaos, Belphegor plans to have his servants commit genocide on the demonic moderates while unleashing Chaos to kill the rest to shore up his own power. A Serial Rapist as well, Belphegor frequently has women brought to him while violating them body and soul, draining their life force until they are broken shells to keep around or until they simply die at which point he simply orders more brought to him.
  • Zoids:
    • Chaotic Century:
      • Season 1: Gunther Prozen, the Evil Chancellor of the Guylos Empire, keeps a pointless war with the Helic Republic going so that he can seize control of the Empire. Attempting to murder the child emperor Rudolph, Prozen sends his personal killer, a boy he indoctrinated from childhood named Raven, after him while also sending "rescue squads" that he has Raven destroy in order to cover himself while he continues the war. Prozen then attempts to awaken the ancient weapon the Death Saurer and demonstrates its power by attacking his own capital. Even after defeat, Prozen adopts the identity of the Dark Kaiser with intention of re-awakening the Death Saurer and wiping out organic life.
      • Season 2 (Guardian Force): Hiltz is an Ancient Zoidian who desires to exterminate all human life and rule Planet Zi himself. Initiating a series of terrorist attacks to destabilize the hard-won peace, Hiltz kills any men who fail him and even tries to kill his right-hand woman, another Ancient Zoidian named Reese, just because she's no longer useful to him. Revealing his secret weapon the Death Stinger, Hiltz proceeds to bombard civilian targets and announces that when he proceeds to the Guylos Empire, he'll destroy every civilian town and city he sees along the way. Finally fusing with the Death Saurer, the sadistic Hiltz dedicates himself to exterminating all organic life on Zi, gloating how he will be the one to rule over everything.
    • Genesis: General Jiin is a cold, ambitious man with aspirations of godhood, ambitions he puts into motion by fatally poisoning his own father and destroying his own home city to assure his rule over the Digald Empire. Treating his own longtime associate Zairin as a pawn to advance his own social standing, Jiin gives him a Zoid called the Volcano with the promise that it will bring ruin to his enemies—while secretly using it to drain his life to fuel his own Zoid and smugly trying to kill Zairin when he learns of this, whilst admitting he always saw Zairin as a pawn. Eventually revealed to be using the souls of thousands of his own citizens to power up his fleet while they're fully conscious and aware of everything, Jiin eventually declares himself an absolute god and tries to take over the entire planet, with the promise that anyone who refuses to prostrate themselves before him will die, even wiping out entire cities to the cause before he's stopped by Ruuji.
  • Aladdin: Legacy of the Lost, by Ian Edginton: Qassim is an Evil Sorcerer who seeks to use the Dreaming Jewel to undo all of creation and reshape it in his own image. Having imprisoned djinn lovers Xavier and Alexandria within a lamp and a ring respectively to use to strike the chord of the Dreaming Jewel, Qassim betrayed his fellow Aramaspi sorcerers, including his wife Sorcha, and took the ring for himself. Qassim bribes two men to find him a member of the Aramaspi bloodline before promptly killing them, then tricks Aladdin into retrieving the lamp for him before trying to murder him as well. He later murders the king of Shambhalla to steal the lamp and abducts Princess Soraya, and makes numerous attempts to kill Aladdin's entire crew during their journey. In addition, he treats Xavier as his slave, forcing him to do battle with his own lover Alexandria against his will.
  • Monster World, by Philip Kim, Steve Niles, et al.: "John Price" is the enigmatic leader of the Order of Zevetine, a secretive cult that has used its powers to enslave monsters for their own purposes. Having wandered the Earth for centuries bringing mayhem and ruin to whatever is in his way, Price is given the sinister epitaph "Böser Geist"—"ghoul" or "fiend" in German—by soldiers in World War I for slaughtering soldiers on both sides with his monsters, in one case massacring a field of 1,000 soldiers for seemingly no other reason than his own amusement. In the 1930s, Price gives his aid to a floundering movie company by lending them his monsters to use in their films—but transforms the head of the company into a werewolf to force him to slaughter innocent people in tribute to the wicked cult, with any other loose ends disposed of through his monsters.
  • Gravity Falls : Bill Cipher is an interdimensional demon and is, despite his appearance, his demeanor, and his twisted sense of humor, the Overarching Villain. A being of chaos who killed his parents and destroyed his home realm to escape its limitations, Bill sought to escape his decaying realm by invading another world he could wreak havoc on, and set his eye on Earth's universe. A chessmaster extraordinaire, Bill exploited the desperation of Stanford Pines, manipulating him into building a portal that would allow the fusion of the Nightmare Realm and the physical world so Bill could wreak chaos worldwide. In the present, Bill stalks the Pines twins after their initial meeting. At the turning point of Bill's plan, Bill goads a despondent Mabel into handing him the means in which to break the gap between the real world and the Nightmare Realm—and, after doing so, traps Mabel in a Lotus-Eater Machine and unleashes "Weirdmaggedon" on Gravity Falls. Demonstrating his random cruelty by abominating Preston Northwest's face, Bill assaults the town, which sees almost all its citizens converted into a series of statues built into a "throne of human agony", and the rest living in hiding in a horribly-mutated Eldritch Location. Bill is dismissive of the fact that his influence could lead to destruction of existence itself, and callously vaporizes Time Baby and the Time Police squad once they point this out to him. A being who was motivated by a lust of chaos and random whims, Bill happily conducted torture and the attempted brutal murder of children to further his goals. Treating everyone like a pawn and life itself as a game, Bill Cipher devoted his entire existence to wreaking chaos and destruction on the world at large.
  • Hell Is Empty: Aerys II Targaryen is as repulsive as his book incarnation. Aerys burns people alive as punishment for various crimes, including petty theft. Aroused by this, he often rapes Queen Rhaella afterwards. Arranging a marriage between his son Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, he finds that Lyanna reminds him of Johanna Lannister, developing an unhealthy attraction to her. Burning his Hand Qarlton Cheslton alive for calling him mad after Aerys decides to have caches of wildfire hidden throughout King's Landing, Aerys begins to abuse Viserys as well when he interrupts his rape of Rhaella and has Rhaegar bring Tywin Lannister and his bannermen to King's Landing to be executed when he suspects them of treason. When he sentences a child to be burned to death, Lyanna, now heavily pregnant, challenges him to a trial by combat. Aerys forces Lyanna herself to fight, and chooses fire as his champion, molesting Lyanna beforehand and informing her she will bare his child after she gives birth. The child burns to death and Lyanna miscarries, Jaime Lannister killing Aerys to save her. This heavily traumatizes Lyanna and almost tears her marriage with Rhaegar apart.
  • A Nightmare on Elm Street fanfilm series Tales from Elm Street: Freddy Krueger is just as much of a monster in this series of fan videos as he is in canon. In The Slasher from Elm Street, he murders a little boy named Mikey. In Another Tale from Elm Street, he murders a little girl named Suzie. In A Tale from Elm Street, he vows to kill Nancy Thompson, daughter of interrogating officer Donald Thompson, and is noted to have raped and killed five children, though he states that he believes the body count is higher. In The Legend of Elm Street, he returns from the grave after being killed by the parents of Springwood and attacks Mikey's mother, Mary, in her dream. Freddy taunts Mary about Mikey's death before preparing to kill her.

He mockingly thanks Mary for giving him the idea, planning to leave her alive to live with the fact that she gave him the idea to go after the children. When Mary vows to tell the other parents, Freddy stabs her in the head, putting her in a coma.
  • Bright: Leilah is an Inferni coven leader and a devout follower of the Dark Lord. After Tikka, Leilah's sister, betrayed the Inferni, she sent an assassin to kill her and her associates.

During their search, they murder several civilians, gang members, and even police officers while chasing down Tikka and officers Ward and Jakoby. After Leilah gets her Wand back, she tries to convince Tikka to rejoin the Inferni so they can resurrect the Dark Lord together. When Tikka refuses, she tries to kill her moments later, and blames Ward and Jakoby for "corrupting her". Malicious and relentless, Leilah cares about nothing but resurrecting the Dark Lord and killing anyone who stands in her way.

She is behind almost everything that Dark Army members do in the series, and will go to any lengths in order to complete her goals. She kills Lester Moore, former CEO of E Corp, in a plane crash, simply because of him interfering in her plans. One day, she and the current CEO of E Corp, Phillip Price, had a discussion about a lawsuit against the Washington Power Plant.

Determined and intelligent, Whiterose serves as a huge threat with massive amounts of power and wealth.

But as the third season progresses, he gets more and more violent. He participates in the attack against the 71 E Corp buildings, killing thousands of people. His former ally Mr. Robot confronts him and asks him why he did this; instead of answering, Irving orders his henchmen to knock Mr. Robot out.

Instead, Irving brutally stabs and kills Santiago with his axe, and says to Dominique that she has to replace Santiago as the Dark Army FBI mole, she refuses and says that she will arrest Irving anyway, and wants Irving to kill her. He doesn't, but psychologically tears her apart instead. He tells her to imagine that Santiago is a family member, while stabbing him multiple times, stabbing harder and harder for every hit.

  • SCP-993: Also known as "Bobble the Clown", this children's show's titular host functions as The Corrupter to children. Using the power of television, Bobble would send viewers above the age of 10 into a trance while they were shown graphic acts of Bobble committing murder, cannibalism, torture, and other evil acts. Bobble instructs the children the ways to commit crimes, ingraining these ideas in their mind and causing them to grow up into psychopaths. Behind the scenes, Bobble describes himself as reaching into the heads of children and happily twisting them. It also reveals that his acts of violence might not be entirely fictional as he dismembers a Foundation doctor on TV and causes the doctor to disappear in real life. By his own admission, Bobble has been creating monsters for "quite some time"—apparently existing since the caveman days—and has even given his child victims instruction on how to release monsters from the SCP Foundation that could cause the end of humanity.
  • Peace. I would settle for that: AM proves himself to be just as evil as either of his other incarnations. Torturing Ted for hundreds of thousands of years for his own amusement, AM transforms Ted into a piece of tungsten and leaves him at the bottom of a lava pit for a decade, Ted perceiving each second as a year, among many other transformations. AM also turns Ted into a head on a pair of short legs, allowing him to find an entire pile of food with can openers, but not giving anything to eat them with. Ted considers this to be nothing compared to what he has to endure every day. Eventually, AM turns Ted into SCP-173— deliberating choosing the color yellow as it was the one Ellen feared— and creating SCP-131 to stare at him, leaving him unable to move at all for years at a time if they caught him. When Ted is able to escape this reality thanks to SCP-507, he has become so insane he kills humans in the vain hope the Foundation will eventually destroy him. AM, enraged at losing Ted, tracks him to the new universe, where, upon learning of the human presence, AM decides to annihilate them for the same reasons he destroyed the humans of his own world, despite the fact they had nothing to do with it, showing his motive is raving misanthropy. To that end, he creates a new body for himself, giving up most of his godlike power to do so, and this body turns out to be SCP-682. Once AM inhabits it and pursues Ted, it is heavily implied he goes on a rampage, killing any human he finds.
  • Phasma through The Last Jedi note : Captain Phasma was once a warrior on the world of Parnassos. Engineering her own family's death, save her brother—who she still crippled as part of her scheme and later emotionlessly killed anyway—who provided her story more cover, Phasma would join her family's rival tribe and later, solely to ingratiate herself to the First Order and join them, took part in—or at least had no qualms with—their destruction and the annihilation of the remainder of civilization on Parnassos. Becoming a terrifying, ruthless figure who would indoctrinate countless innocents into being loyal Cannon Fodder, while happily committing massacres and war crimes, Phasma lacked any of the qualities of honor and loyalty she sought to instill. Phasma would murder her former superior Brendol Hux via flesh-eating beetles and attempt to fatally poison the kindhearted stormtrooper Captain Cardinal, also attempting to murder anyone who knew of her past, even a young girl named Frey—Phasma's own niece—from Parnassos who died in a a supposed training accident. Willingly selling out the codes for Starkiller Base to save her own hide,, Phasma sacrificed soldiers who could have escaped to make her own escape easier, and framed and hunted down a survivor who knew of her treachery, inciting a war between local species on the planet to make her job easier, referring to them as cannon fodder as well. Once she'd executed her target, Phasma killed the TIE pilot who had assisted her just to remove any loose ends. When she has her treacherous former disciple Finn at her mercy, Phasma opts to try to torture him to death instead of merely killing him quickly. A coward who will betray and murder anyone to live a bit longer, Phasma sets the standard for ruthless evil in the First Order, with nobody safe from her cruelty.
  • Dead by Daylight: Herman "The Doctor" Carter lacks any redeeming qualities in contrast to many other killers, who have some form of tragedy or sympathy in their backstory. At first, he was simply a lunatic that became fascinated with the brain. However, as the time went on, Carter became drunk on the power his human experimentation gave him. His sadistic streak made him notorious among the organization that hired him, the CIA, mostly because of constant screaming and crying coming from his lab. Eventually, Herman turned on his mentor and brutally murdered him before The Entity took note of him and gave him his current powers just to cause more madness. Even as a Killer, The Doctor clearly revels in the misery and madness he causes to the survivors. While most of the Killers rely on power and strength to claim their victims, The Doctor is a sadistic monster who specifically relies on Mind Rape to claim lives.
  • Five Nights at Freddy's: William Afton is the Overarching Villain of the series and the one behind all the horror. Introduced as a mysterious figure early in the series, he is fleshed out in the later installments.

He himself later took center stage in the third game after he met his death within the springlock suit, returning to haunt the player as Springtrap in the Fazbear Frights attraction. In Sister Location, it's revealed that he is the CEO of Afton Robotics and used his position to create animatronics to abduct and murder children. He sent his son Michael to die in his stead on a job at his factory, resulting in the latter getting gutted and skinned alive, becoming an undead entity bent on seeking revenge. While initially seeming to care about his daughter who was killed by his animatronics, it's later implied that he only desired her to be his heir, molding and corrupting her into a child murderer herself. At the time of Pizzeria Simulator, he returns as Springtrap, eager to continue his spree despite his suspicions that the place was a death trap, showing his sadism in full force and an indifference to the other animatronics, including his daughter, as he gloats to the player—hinted to be Michael—as well as showing his manipulative side by feigning empathy towards a young girl as he plans on killing her. While most antagonists in this series are sympathetic to some variety, William Afton stands out as a truly malevolent figure and the source for nearly all the evil in the series.

  • Wallace And Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death: Piella Bakewell is the seemingly-sweet villain of this short. After gaining too much weight to keep her job as a model, Piella murders bakers associated with the company she worked with, killing twelve in total and keeping their outfits as trophies. Seeking to kill "a baker's dozen", she seduces the kind-hearted Wallace and makes multiple attempts on his life while trying to create a wedge between the man and his protective dog Gromit by framing him for attacking her. During the short's climax she attempts to kill Wallace with a bomb disguised as a gift, and tries to murder Gromit and her own dog Fluffles, who she heartlessly abuses, when they intervene. Though she has comedic moments, they do not detract from her villainy, and Piella stands out as a very dark antagonist in an otherwise light-hearted franchise.
  • Wikizilla Roleplay: Bombshock is a psychotic Insecticon Mad Bomber who has absolutely no standards or redeeming qualities to balance out his evil. Obsessed with causing mass devastation with his explosives, Bombshock was so repulsive and cruel in his twisted ways of killing that even other Decepticons like Hardshell and Tarn despised him. Following the demise of his loyal second-in-command Scurrydown, Bombshock shrugged him off and claimed that he didn't need anymore anyways, as he got the bomb he wanted. Bombshock also used his own men as suicide bombers, killing them off just to kill some civilians and then slashed Gamoni's throat, to which he gloated about to Hardshell. His ultimate plan was to go to Mt. Saint Helens where he would release his deadliest weapon known as "Bombshock's Special" into the volcano, which would have activated the volcano and cause an explosion, spreading toxic gases that could've spread out and kill off everyone on Earth in a few months. During his fight with Hardshell, he then mocks and gloats some more on how far he's come and can't be stopped. Demented, twisted, sadistic and utterly vile in every way, Bombshock was one the darker villains to ever grace the RPVerse.

His initial scheme to steal gold from the Federal Reserve is thwarted by the Turtles. In response, Dregg comes to Earth and pretends to be a friendly alien who wants to improve the human race, making people see him as a hero, while Dregg casts the Turtles as threats to humanity. Despite this, the Turtles manage to thwart several of Dregg's destructive schemes, such as overloading a death ray Dregg was building to start destroying cities until the Earth bowed to him, and stopping a mad supervillain named Chronos Dregg hired to destroy New York with earthquake machines. Dregg's true intentions are later revealed, as is his cowardice when confronted by a more powerful warlord named Doomquest. Beaten, but not defeated, Dregg launches his main henchman HiTech into a space in a shuttle craft for failing him and replaces him with a new villain, Mung.

After several defeats, Dregg loses interests in conquest and just wants revenge on the Turtles. Dregg disposes of Mung and hires 5 powerful mercenaries to help defeat the Turtles, but uses a powerful exoskeleton to absorb the mercenaries, taking their powers and killing them in the process.
