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:

Complete Monster Cleanup Thread

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.

@Thok, Exactly. It sounds like the wprld needs to be destroyed to stop the threat. I also don't feel like killing Overseers is all that bad, seeing as they are trying to kill them in the first place. It is self defense, no matter how much of a dick she is about it.

Unsympathetic? Yes. Pure Evil? Not quite imo.

Oh, Cr0w, Apostle's all yours, too much on the to-do list besides. I'm gonna abstain on Audrey right now.

New EP for right now...

What's the work?

Guy N. Smith is an author of hilariously terrible horror novels going from like the 70s to present day. He's most well known for the Crabs series, featuring killer crabs rolling up from the ocean to kill tons of people before being driven back. Now, several of his many, many books, naturally feature potential contenders for this trope. One is the The Dark One...and its villain, Marcel Hart.

who is Marcel Hart?

A demonic child, the son of Tom Hart and his wife...now, the heroes of the novel have a close relationship with the Hart family and even engage in wife swapping with them. The hero, Rankin Gorlay and his wife Carol, eventually agree to take in Marcel for a bit while his parents are away. Issue is...Marcel is malevolent and begins tormenting them quite cruelly....and what's more? People start dying. On a trip to the zoo, one person falls to his death and multiple other innocents die in mysterious 'accidents,' later revealed to be the result of Marcel's mysterious powers. As Marcel grows? More and more power die around him, and when he's a teenager, a young woman he was having relations with is found brutally murdered, her throat slit...turns out? Marcel is also a satanist and more hardcore than his parents, sacrificing multiple people to the devil for power. Marcel confronts Rankin...after arranging the deaths of his own parents in a car accident, so he can be rid of them and demands to stay at Rankin and Carol's, much to Rankin's displeasure. However, upon Marcel's threats, he agrees but tries to arrange for social services to take Marcel away.

Marcel promptly has the social workers killed as well, and gives Rankin a clear threat what'll happen if he doesn't play ball, and allow Marcel to do as he wills. Marcel promises not to hurt the Gorlays, but naturally lies his ass off about this...it turns out he's saving them specially for a very particular sacrifice, and is calling upon 'The Master' again. And once called up? The Master never leaves empty handed. Marcel intends to sacrifice Carol and her children to his father, Satan, who took the form of Tom Hart on earth, without Marcel's full knowledge. Rankin rushes home to stop him, but...it turns out the big S? Is pretty angry with Marcel for the whole 'arrange his murder' thing and after a little contemplation? He seizes Marcel instead and hauls him off to hell, kicking and screaming for mercy the whole while.

Mitigating Qualities?

Absolutely zilch. Marcel is a vicious, vile brat responsible for multiple deaths and sacrifices to Satan, and is bad by Satanist standards. Nothing ever implies he lacks agency whstsoever, either.

Conclusion?

Simple no fuss no muss keeper here, I says.

Abstain on Audrey

So Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors came out two weeks ago. I considered making an counter-Ep but, all things considered, I'd rather keep it short unless you insist.

The Big Bad is Hala the Accuser, a leader of the Kree empire who recruits inhumans for her army. Many refused her call so she abducts them through her dragon Exile. She has 8 teenagers or kids forced to fight to the death in a tournament where only the winner would be allowed a second chance. She threatens to kill their loved ones if they fail or refuse and displays their pictures as a point. "And those of you without families... Well, no one will miss you anyway." She's also abusive to her dragon Exile and when he's defeated by heroin Kamala, she encourages the latrer to finish him.

We are also told that the Kree Empire made a program to created inhumans and they destroyed America Chavez' homeworld. However, it's unknown whether or not Hala was specifically behind it.

As for redeeming qualities... In this featurette, the actress claims that her whole personna is that she thinks she's doing good... Uuuh, that doesn't actually show at all IMO. Sure, she tells the kids that they're destined to become heroes but that's immediatly before she introduces the tournament.

Anyway, I feel like she's under the baseline for superheroes shows especially with her level of ressource. She leads a big spaceship with an army. I've discussed a bit with Miraculous and they agree.

However despite being literally thrown in space, Hala is set to return in some capacity in the upcoming special "Heart of Iron" so I can still keep an eye on her.

That being said, I have a big candidate in store I can't wait to propose.

Second of my Smith keepers now:

What's the work?

Entombed is set in the village of Cwmgilla. The hero, Simon Rankin is a former Jesuit priest, a failed husband and a failed exorcist. Arriving in Cwmgilla...it turns out there's something very dark in the old mines...seems that long ago, a group of people were trapped within the mines and died there. More than that? One of them, Jethro, ended up possessed by the devil himself, who lurks in the mines...and the villain waiting to set him free is the leader of a Satanic Cult, Eli Lealan.

Who is Lealan?

Eli Lealan is a local landlord, 'the most evil man in Cwgmilla' (which for a small Welsh mining town is probably as much a distinction as being the healthiest man in a leper colony)...now, Lealan is a satanist, and a pretty nasty one at that. The novel is a shrot one, but Lealan keeps his followers in a state of mania and sexual rites to control them, while also engaging in human sacrifice, wracking up a huge body count as Rankin comes to investigate. Not only that, but...Lealan is keeping the souls of his victims enslaved to eventually help to unleash Satan.

In several scenes? Lealan even has children abducted and sacrificed onscreen, enslaving their souls in pain as well to eventually harness them. Lealan proceeds to try to lure Rankin in to destroy him when Rankin gets too close, tormenting rankin and his ex Audrey with horrific illusions while planning to sacrifice them as well. Also, out of irritation at one of his cultists, Lealan sets up a human sacrifice of her simply for kicks to help conjure the devil at the end...however, things go a bit too well, as Satan never really asked for their help. Upon tasting freedom, Satan decides to take his pound of flesh and kills the cult savagely, including Lealan who is amde to suffer horribly, before Simon manages to save the day.

Mitigating Qualities?

That's a nada.

Conclusion?

Once again, basic keeper.

Also having talked with silver, I'll agree that Hala isnt quite their just yet. Though I think that might change later. Though looking foward to the other superhero proposal man.

  • Black Cat: Doctor Kosuke Kanzaki sadistically conducts a number of awful experiments over the course of the series, including transforming a man into a werewolf; brainwashing captured bounty hunters into fighting their friends; and trapping Train in a illusory world where the very people he cares about most are trying to kill him. Fascinated by ten-year old Eve's power to shapeshift, the Doctor kidnaps her towards the end of the series, planning to vivisect her in order to discover how her abilities work. Loyal only to himself and driven by his need to know, the Doctor outshines even Creed Diskenth when it comes to villainy.
  • Happy Sugar Life: Even in a setting populated by characters existing at different levels of sanity, the nameless manager of the Princess Imperial restaurant stands out as especially depraved.

When Satou Matsuzaka joins the restaurant, the manager's ego is bruised upon overhearing Taiyo Mitsuboshi asking Satou out on a date. Luring Mitsuboshi into her office, the manager traps Mitsuboshi in her cabinet, raping him repeatedly for a week to force him to love her. She also tasks her employees with sabotaging Satou's work as punishment for her catching Mitsuboshi's interest. A woman obsessed with maintaining her "kingdom," the manager left a permanent impression on Mitsuboshi, being responsible for his pathological fear of older women.
  • Tenrou Sirius the Jaeger: Yevgraf, a vampire prince, at first searched for the Ark of Sirius to cure his vampiric brethren by seeking help from a professor to find the location that contains said Ark. After finding the location of the Ark in a peaceful village, Yevgraf orders his vampires to decimate the village and slaughter all of its villagers, resulting in one of the children in the village, Yuliy, becoming mentally scarred to the point of becoming a Vampire Hunter to avenge his dying clan. Yevgraf also turned Yuliy's brother, Mikhail, into a vampire to serve him and shows no hesitation to kill him with Mind Rape if he rebels. After Yuliy gained the Ark of Sirius in Sakhalin Island, Yevgraf stole it from him and killed one of Yuliy's allies in the process. Yevgraf then fuses with the Ark of Sirius, and reveals that he doesn't care anymore about his fellow sick brethren and simply wishes to replace the world with vampires just like himself while ruling it with an iron fist.
  • Tobias Jeffers, appearing in the The Dreadful Crimes side mission "Fiend of Fleet Street", is a leatherworker responsible for disappearance of several people of Fleet Street. After killing his victims, he sends their flesh to a bakery as meat for pies, grounds their bones into manure, which he sends to a florist shop, and uses their skin as a leather for his products.

  • Bhaal is the god of murder, and the Overarching Villain of the game. Sealed away within Baldur's Gate, Bhaal spreads his influence to corrupt the city and plague it with monsters. Throughout multiple Haunts, Bhaal orders his followers to murder the innocent whenever possible. These orders include having a follower create art out of the organs of a nobleman to spread fear throughout the city; commanding a swarm of carnivorous rats to devour the populace; and creating a cloud of darkness to suffocate every citizen within Baldur's Gate. In the Haunt The Dark Light of Bhaal, Bhaal uses a magical lantern to break the mind of the HR to turn them into a bloodthirsty maniac, orders the HR to kill their friends, and, if the Traitor succeeds, Bhaal has them search for more victims to slaughter. In the Haunt Battle of the Bhaalspawn, Bhaal calls for his children to gather in Baldur's Gate before influencing their minds to convince them to all fight to the death, cackling with delight as he watches. Responsible for more Haunts than any other villain in the game, Bhaal treats Baldur's Gate as little more than a playground to cause death and destruction.
  • The demilich, Acererak, is the Big Bad of the Haunt Sphere of Annihilation. Prior to the Haunt, Acererak corrupted the mind of the Traitor into being his loyal servant. Giving the Traitor the titular Sphere of Annihilation, as well as a talisman to control said sphere, Acererak orders the Traitor to use the sphere to gather souls for Acererak to feast upon. During the Haunt, Acererak has the Traitor use the sphere in an attempt to kill and absorb the soul of every citizen within Baldur's Gate. If the Traitor succeeds, Acererak thanks the Traitor by killing them and devouring their soul as well. In the Haunt The Death Curse, to stack up on souls, Acererak and Ras Nsi send a Yuan-Ti to gather souls to hasten the spread of the titular Death Curse, intending to have it infect the entire world. If the adventurers discover a note left by Ras Nsi, it's revealed that Acererak has infected his own ally with the curse as well.
  • Hail Olhydra!: The titular Olhydra, the Princess of Evil Water, is a archomental from the Elemental Plane of Water. Wishing to control the Material Plane, Olhydra transforms the HR into a Morkoth before brainwashing them into being her servant. She then opens up a portal to her home plane in an attempt to flood Baldur's Gate and drown all of it's inhabitants. If the Traitor succeeds in assisting Olhydra in her goal, Olhydra will enter the Material Plane to expand her rule, intending to flood the entire planet to make it her own.
  • You'll Have The House Slaad With That: The Traitor from this Haunt is secretly a Death Slaad who disguised itself as an adventurer. Prior to the Haunt, the Death Slaad sent its offspring to attack the heroes, only to kill its own children to earn the trust of the heroes. While traveling with the heroes, the Death Slaad secretly implanted several Slaad Tadpoles inside them that will eat the adventurers from the inside. When the tadpoles are ready to emerge, the Death Slaad reveals its true form to the adventurers, and tells them about the Death Slaad placed inside them solely to see them panic. If the Death Slaad succeeds in killing all of the heroes, it'll note how it inflicted the same fate upon countless other adventuring groups in the past for its own amusement, before moving on to infect all citizens of Baldur's Gate with its spawn, intending to have the city to be the first of many to be infested.
  • Elfes et Nains:
    • The Crystal of the Blue Elves: The Black Elf Ulronn is the creator of the blue crystal controlling the ocean. Obsessed with its powers, Ulronn caused much havoc, at one point destroying an army with a wave. Defeated by King Amnon and the mage Nelyr, Ulronn enacts revenge a thousand years later. He murders Nelyr, magically coerces the population of Ennlya into slaughtering each other's and frames an Yrlan clan for the massacre. He then stages the invasion of Elsemur by the Yrlans through his accomplice Siemir. Under the appearance of his victim Vaalann, he manipulates everyone in order to locate the crystal, petrifies its guardians and annihilates the Yrlan army with his water soldiers. When the Blue Elves celebrate the victory, Ulronn raises a gigantic wave, threatening to submerge Elsemur.
    • White Elf, Black Heart: The pirate captain is a bloodthirsty human who hates the White Elves for their apparent superiority. After capturing the injured Alornell, the captain forces him to reveal the location of the island where the White Elves live by threatening to torture him to death.

    • Great Master Thur'yn is the headmaster of Slurce who oversees the harsh training of Black Elves into cold-blooded killers. Teaching the arts of necromancy, Thu'ryn coldly orders every students to kill a classmate and capture their soul in a gem. He later attacks the student Gaw'yn, threatening to eat his soul. When Gaw'yn summons Thur'yn's soul, the latter explodes the head of assassin Scup'yn and incinerates Master Vahr'yn. Later flashbacks from the Blue Elves series reveal how truly horrible he is. When Ran'Saa, King of the Red Elves, refused to deliver his daughter Lah'Saa, Thur'yn retaliated by engineering the genocide of the Red Elves, and ordered the mage Slovtan to take control of Lah'Saa's body to force the little girl to murder her father. As a test of loyalty, he also tasked his best student Fenda'yn to lead the purge of his home city and kill his family.
    • Black As Blood: General Lp'hen is a half dark elf who pledged allegiance to the necromancer Lah'Saa and willingly assists her in her Zombie Apocalypse.

When assassin Gaw'yn escapes, she forces him to work for her, threatening his life. She unleashes her ghouls on several villages, having their inhabitants either devoured or infected and unwillingly join her ranks. At one point, she orders the death of a group of fleeing women and children. Arriving in the capital of Majinor, she had Gaw'yn murder four mages before sacking the city. When Gaw'yn turns against her, she threatens to flay him for his betrayal. Unlike her mistress Lah'Saa, who's a Tragic Villain, Lp'hen has no redeeming qualities to offset her vileness.
  • Predator: Bad Blood, by Evan Dorkin, Derek Thompson, et al.: The "Bad Blood" Predator is a Yautja criminal who was a vicious, evil Serial Killer being taken on a prison ship to face justice. Upon getting loose, the Bad Blood Predator massacres everyone onboard the ship, cannibalizing them before escaping into the backwoods of earth. Deciding to enjoy himself, the Bad Blood Predator goes on a vicious killing spree for the fun of it. Ambushing and killing multiple humans, the Bad Blood Predator murders another Yautja sent to eliminate him while ramping up the bloodshed in increasingly savagery and violence, cheerily mimicking the words "sick, psychopathic bastard" to refer to himself. While most of the Predators are no friend to humanity, the Bad Blood Predator, lacking the honor of most Predators shows why he is considered a monster by both human and Yautja alike, with a body count well into the double digits.
  • After.Life: El(l)iot Deacon is a funeral director who appears friendly and sympathetic on the outside, but is actually a psychopath with a tendency to bury people alive. He manipulates them by posing as a psychopomp who can communicate with the dead as he prepares them for burial using techniques that won't kill them, so that they stay alive until buried. He keeps a photo collection in his bedroom of everyone he's buried, and it's strongly hinted that he's buried as many living people as corpses. The film centers on his preparation of Anna Taylor, during which we see just how twisted Deacon is. Later on, he deals with two people who have found him out in very different ways: recruiting one in whom he sees a kindred spirit as a Secret-Keeper, and goading another, Anna's boyfriend Paul Coleman, into a car accident while he's drinking heavily and then taunting him about his failure before finishing him off directly on the slab.
  • Blade: Deacon Frost is a younger vampire who sets himself apart from the older vampire hierarchy and their preference to remain in the shadows to rule humanity from behind the scenes, desiring to openly reduce all humans to cattle by incarnating the evil blood god La Magra. Frost maintains a network of nightclubs where hapless humans are frequently killed for the vampires' feasts; kills a vampire elder in an exceptionally painful way by removing his teeth and letting him burn up in the sunrise; murders one of his human minions For the Evulz; throws a little girl into traffic to distract Blade; attacks Blade's mentor Whistler and leaves him for dead; and sacrifices the entire vampire council as part of the ritual to summon La Magra. However, Frost's worst crime is his past attack on Blade's then-pregnant mother and his transformation of her into a bloodsucking monster, later rubbing this fact in Blade's face to hurt him.
  • The Clown at Midnight (1999): The Clown, later revealed to be Mr. Caruthers, is a deranged madman who owns the opera house the film takes place in. Murdering an opera singer named Lorraine for rejecting his sexual advances, the Clown framed her lover, Lorenzo, and held him captive in the opera house for years, intending to also frame him for his future murders. When Kate, Lorraine's daughter, arrived with her friends and teacher to restore the opera house, the Clown targeted them, and subjects them to brutal deaths. He splits their teacher's head open with an axe, smiling all the while. He then strangles one of the girls, Ashley, to death, before hanging her body up on stage for the others to find. He also subjects them to impalement with a spear, electrocution with a death trap, being tossed off of the roof, and decapitation. When Lorenzo confronts Kate, the Clown tosses him off a catwalk to his death. He then knocks out Kate, and with her dead friends as an audience, attempts to "reenact his favorite scene", with Kate acting as Lorraine.
  • Malcolm Tallridge and John Bordinay, from season 1's "Ambush", are the heads of a dangerous militia group called "Enhancing Law Enforcement", a group known for killing immigrants or anyone who remotely looks like one, and a group which has stolen several anti-tank missiles. Tallridge, the leader, would order the hits, while Bordinay, described by Special Agent Mike Renko as a "paranoid nut job", served as his second-in-command, and would carry them out without the slightest hesitation. Their actions resulted in the deaths of over a dozen immigrants, including three children, who were chased into the desert and died of thirst. They are also just as brutal and ruthless to their men; when a member, Scott Reilly, brings in NCIS agent Callen into their fold without their knowledge, they have Reilly killed without a second thought.
  • "The Phantom", real name Tom Smith, was a notorious Serial Killer who appeared in season 1's "Random On Purpose". Taking great pleasure in killing throughout his life, he started killing animals as a child, before moving on to humans as an adult. He traveled to many small cities where he would use his job as a receptionist to lure anyone, regardless of age or gender, into traps and kill them in various fashions. His killings grabbed the attention of Abby Sciuto, who travels to Los Angeles when she heard of his latest kill taking place there. When he notices Abby, he kidnaps her where he tell her about all of his murders and how she and him have a "connection" and Abby, in disgust, responds by calling him a creep. Feeling insulted, Smith then tries to decapitate her with an axe before being killed by the Los Angeles team who came to rescue Abby.
  • Tahir Khaled is a terrorist and war criminal from Sudan—demonstrated by a mass grave of his victims appearing in his first appearance—who serves as Agent Sam Hanna's Arch-Enemy. First appearing in season 3, he brutally murders three CIA agents and tortures Sam for information. He later arranges for his sister Jada, whom he also regularly abuses, to be killed, only to have a recently-rescued Sam save her. Upset only because Jada will testify against him, Khaled sought vengeance against Sam during season 7 by targeting the latter's loved ones, ranging from launching a missile at his family's home to appearing at his son's school with the intent to kill him, while callously killing innocents along the way. Upon being arrested, he arranges for his escape near the end of season 8 by kidnapping Sam's wife, Michelle, to use as a bargaining chip for his release. Despite being released, Tahir kills her anyway via asphyxiation, then proceeds to steal her body and start to desecrate it. When Tahir manages to lure Sam to him in a bus, he attempts to detonate a bomb he placed inside said bus, intending to take Sam as well as everyone else in the bus with him to the grave. Though lacking the body count of some other villains, Tahir Khaled makes up for this with his petty cruelty against Sam and his family and friends, cementing him as one of the franchise's most personal foes.
  • Operatives "Lin" and "Davis", from season 3's "Quid Pro Quo", are agents from the Chinese government tasked in finding a subject to test a super virus the government recently created, though they go way beyond what was assigned. Upon arriving in New Orleans they kidnap three American citizens, then proceeded to burn them alive, two so they could take their identities and the third simply because they could. They then storm into a local bakery and force the baker to poison a cake with their virus, only to kill him with the virus once they are done with him. They ship the cake to a Navy base, killing seven Navy personnel, and later infecting Medical Examiner Loretta Wade with the virus. Despite already testing their virus, they decide to unleash their virus onto the air and into the city, attempting to kill hundreds if not thousands. This fails, and the team attempts to capture them alive due to their knowledge of where they are keeping the antidote. This results in one operative dying attempting to kill them, and the other committing suicide just so they could not find the antidote.
  • Mr. John Stone appears in the last episodes of season 3 working for Mayor Douglas Hamilton, as well as one of the main investors of the latter's project to turn the neighborhood of Clearwater into a naval shipyard. They plan to do this by opening the floodgates, despite 2,000 people still living there. Under Hamilton's employment, Mr. Stone has already murdered nearly a dozen people, including a Marine investigating the project's shadier dealings, an innocent bystander to distract the team chasing him, and has even convinced Hamilton to kill Congresswoman Michelle Angelou, an opponent of the project, when he himself failed. At one point he sends his men to fight Dwayne Pride in his bar while he plants explosives inside, destroying Dwayne's bar, killing his own men, and nearly killing Dwayne himself before he was able to turn the tables on Stone. Dwayne later finds out that Stone plans to drown the 2,000 people still living there. Though nominally subservient to Mayor Hamilton, Mr. Stone's lack of regard for his boss and human life in general, as well as the Mayor's good intentions for New Orleans in favor of Greed and self-interest, cements Mr. Stone as a greater threat, a more formidable enemy, and among the franchise's most wicked.
  • Battle Lines: General Garcia Rejon uses every bit of his limited page time to stand out. Previously a Mexican general, Rejon became head of the Desert drug cartel by having its previous leader—-and every person tangentially connected to him—-murdered. Rejon was eventually broken out of the Supermax prison he was sent to and turned into a vampire by Dracula's forces. Rejon immediately regains control by having 68 high-level members of the Desert cartel brutally tortured to death. When the heroes launch an assault on Rejon's compound, unwittingly killing a woman, Rejon forces a group of scantily-clad young women—whom he's also heavily implied to have coerced into sex for jobs—to fight them off, armed only with knives and machetes.
  • Serrator, the Nighlok King, introduces himself by slaughtering Master Xandred's army of Moogers. Under Xandred's services, he sadistically torments the Rangers and forces people on an island to fight each other to the death. He later betrays Xandred, attacking his Co-Dragons Octoroo and Dayu, admitting to have turned the latter and her beloved Deker into accursed Nighloks for all of eternity, taking pleasure in their suffering. Serrator's plan would be revealed wanting to crack the Earth so the Netherworld to flood it, in an attempt to take over both worlds, uncaring about the billions of lives lost in the process, human and Nighlok alike, cementing himself as the vilest foe both heroes and villains had ever faced and outclassing even Master Xandred in terms of evil.
  • Area 51 (FPS): Mr. Frederick White is the sadistic head of The Illuminati. Originally a scientist during World War II who grew jealous of Dr. Winston Cray, he fled to the Midwest, where he performed horrific experiments on people. When the alien Edgar and his colony crash-land on Earth, White makes a deal with the aliens, exchanging them humans to experiment on in return for both their technology as a way to spy on people, and a virus that turns humans into animalistic monsters, with White hoping to unleash it onto the world. Once Ethan Cole and his men investigate Area 51, White has his clones and Illuminati members kill Ethan's squad mates and Dr. Cray.
  • The disgusting, bloated Governor Cassus Vicus is an utterly depraved hedonist banished by Caligula himself to the remote Al-Khali for practicing cannibalism. Offered immortality by the Firstborn in a realm away from reality in return for helping him conquer all of God's creation, Vicus happily agreed in order to indulge himself for thousands of years. Keeping his realm as nauseating as himself, Vicus keeps his immortal citizens in constant torment: decorating his palace with their body parts and skinned corpses and allowing his demonic minions to attack them as they please. Devoted to his own worship above all else, Vicus stands out in the dark setting alongside the aforementioned Lichthammer as one of the Firstborn's most vile lieutenants.
  • Do You Copy?: The Gracewind Goatman is a malevolent and sadistic entity that enjoys tormenting its victims, mostly with its voice-mimicking abilities. For decades, the Goatman was responsible for a series of murders and disappearances that where often dismissed as bear attacks, despite garnering an urban legend. In a notable instance, the Goatman framed a local farmer Michael Leeds for its killings, tormenting the sole survivor and continuing its killing spree after Leeds's trial. In the game proper, the Goatman stalks a lost hiker through the woods and contacts the watchman using the hiker's voice, and amuses itself by scaring them both, specifically mocking and taunting the watchman about trying to save the hiker. Depending on the player's actions, the Goatman can end up killing the hiker, or the watchman, or both; if the watchman successfully outwits the Goatman and saves the hiker, an exasperated Goatman demands to know where the watchman is hiding before giving up its hunt in frustration.
  • Thief series: Here are the worst Garrett has faced:
    • Thief II: The Metal Age: Father Karras is behind the Mechanists, a faction that split from the Hammerites due to Karras's desires for the destruction of all organic life. Karras rebuilds his faction around his own twisted ego rather than their god, the Master Builder, even placing himself above said god. Responsible for kidnapping countless homeless people in the city and turning them into twisted mechanoid abominations, he is introduced using his special rust gas to painfully kill two innocent people as a simple demonstration for a corrupt sheriff. Karras plans to use the rust gas to wipe out all organic life in the city while attempting genocide on the woodland people.
    • Thief: Deadly Shadows: Gamall, The Hag, is an immortal Serial Killer who maintains her immortality by killing children, before ripping the skin off her victims and wearing it as her own, having done this for centuries. Wanting to re-infiltrate the Keepers organization she was excommunicated from to learn their secrets, she murders a little girl to take her appearance. Once inside, she murders her teacher Caduca so she can take to her position as Interpreter. When the Keepers learns the truth about Gamall, she slaughters most of them. She later kills and steals the skin of Garrett's long-time friend Artemus before strangling First Keeper Orland to death when he tries to redeem himself.
    • Thief (2014): Thief-Taker General Thaddeus Harlan is The Dragon to Baron Northcrest, but lacks his master's good intentions for the City, in favor of needless greed. Creating the "Black Tax" to squeeze the already-depleting resources of the poor, he would hang those who don't pay his taxes, killing hundreds. He would then search their corpses for valuables, later killing one of his own men when he didn't thoroughly search his assigned corpse. Going to a brothel he brutally beats and nearly rapes a prostitute, with it later being implied that he's a pedophile. Thaddeus later switches sides to The Baron's half-brother Orion, helping The Graven cause more chaos in the City, so he could draw out Garrett and kill him.
  • Crypt TV: Roger is the ultimate villain of The Sunny Family Cult series and revealed to be the founder and original leader of the titular murder cult before being kicked out. First appearing in season 2, Roger goes on an independent killing spree searching for his niece Taylor, tormenting her and her friend Janine and killing Janine's boyfriend. Roger also chases down and maims Allie Anne in an attempt to intimidate her and her mother. Posing as a friendly teacher and detective, Roger gets close to and abducts Taylor. Season 3 reveals that when he first founded the cult, their goals to kill the corrupt and cleanse society were simply an outlet for his own misanthropy. Roger used to bully and abuse his brother Elias into accepting his worldview and authority, threatening and attempting to kill him for his "defiance" before he was defeated and exiled; Roger claimed the cult was his true family, only to decry them when they immediately chose Elias over him. After butchering the guests and staff of a motel, Roger reveals his true goal is a ritual sacrifice to transform him into a "divine being of darkness", and he needs Taylor broken to fulfill that prophecy. When Elias comes to rescue his daughter, Roger fatally wounds Elias before Taylor finally kills him, starting Roger's transformation.

HOLY CRAP GUY N SMITH

Lighty, you have no idea how happy this makes me. It must be 5 years ago now I first encountered him...

My best friend bought Crabs on the Rampage. We never finished it, but MY WORD was is amazing in its awful, awfulness. Guy N Smith was apparently one of the inspirations for the character of Garth Marenghi, in as much as he was based on hack horror writing.

And check out Garth Marengi's Darkplace if you haven't because you will rarely find a better piece of media out there.

[tup] both suggested Smith baddies and Isenberg. Gotta play Lost Planet one day.

Abstain on Audrey, sadly.
