=== Disney Animated Canon ===

* The unnamed Coachman from Pinocchio. Seemingly a kindly old gentleman, he kidnaps a bunch of troublesome boys who willingly went through with it so they could do whatever they wanted without adult supervision, and laces their cigars and beer with something that, when they act like jerks, turns them into donkeys he then sells as ordinary animals (one crate is even marked "SALT MINES"). Nightmare Fuel much? From what he says to "Honest" John, he has been doing this for years, and the police have never caught him because by the time they arrive, the boys have all become donkeys, leaving no evidence that they were even there. The transformed boys who can still talk are locked up in a pen (it is unclear what becomes of them, though we're probably better off not knowing). He's also heavily implied to be a demon based on the terrifying devilish face he made when talking to Honest John, doing all this because he delights in the torture of flawed children. Worst of all, he is a Karma Houdini.

* The Horned King from The Black Cauldron is a dark, terrifying, power-hungry tyrant with a god complex and absolutely No Sense of Humor (a rare case for a Disney villain, which only makes him all the more creepy). He plans to obtain the powers of the titular Cauldron in order to raise an army of undead skeletons to Take Over the World and to destroy thousands of human lives. He stops at nothing to achieve his goal, even if it means kidnapping and/or killing an innocent girl or a harmless little pig. He would even harvest his own perfectly loyal minions to make even more skeletal warriors. This is shown when the Cauldron seems to need yet another body to sacrifice and he immediately decides to offer his most sycophantic servant to it. Whats more, since the mindless Cauldron Born turn their enemies and victims into even more of their ranks, he's basically planning to turn the entire world into a gigantic graveyard so he can be king of the dead if he can't be king of the living.

** He also has a bit of an ego to him. His motive behind conquering the world is forcing all of humanity to worship him as a god. He does not care for anyone and doesn't even want anyone else to care for him: he just wants them all to revere him as he persecutes the entire world for the heck of it. This is a villain with zero redeeming features here.

* Another highly successful example of this in a Disney film is the ever infamous Scar from The Lion King. He was always jealous of his older brother, King Mufasa, so he orchestrates a plot to murder his own brother and his young nephew, Simba, successfully killing the former. He then lies to poor, grief-stricken little Simba to make him blame himself for the death of Mufasa, and after telling Simba to run away, he sends his Mooks out after him to kill him anyway. Even before that, he was willing to have his hyena minions not only kill Simba but also his friend Nala, who Scar didn't even need to have killed, unlike Simba and Mufasa who at least were in his way to the throne. When he's about to kill Simba near the end, he gloats about having killed Mufasa. Furthermore, he caused a famine in the Pride Lands, and even his own starving Mooks were starting to lose faith in him - at the end, he even pins the blame on them, causing them to rip him apart for it. In fact, Scar is so evil, he averts the usual Disney Villain Death and dies a VERY Family-Unfriendly Death. While he has moments of dark humor, he's a far cry from the more semi-Laughably Evil villains of the earlier Disney Renaissance films. Scar could even count as a Knight of Cerebus for the Disney Renaissance.

** Disney actually dodged a bullet that almost made him even worse: in a deleted scene, he's so dissatisfied with his current rule that he decides he wants to conceive cubs with Nala, so he throws himself onto her attempting to have his way with her. You read that right: Scar could have predated Frollo as the first attempted rapist in the Disney Animated Canon. This plot point was actually restored for the musical adaptation, making it canon for that version, as detailed on this page.

** Another reason for him being absolutely terrifying is because, despite his more anthropomorphic traits, he's actually fairly realistic in regards to how he managed to accomplish becoming a tyrant. He manages to manipulate the Hyenas into granting him power via bribing him with food and a better life,, which has historical precedence.

* In The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Judge Claude Frollo’s Establishing Character Moment involves him murdering a woman and attempting to drown her baby for being deformed, only agreeing to adopt him after the Archdeacon makes him worry about God punishing him for his actions. The opening riddle regarding him and Quasimodo is even "Who is the monster and who is the man?" In the present, Frollo seeks to commit genocide against the gypsies. His creepy, creepy lust for Esmeralda only heightens the revulsion audiences have for him (with him blaming Esmeralda for everything), and there aren't any other Disney villains who've tried to burn entire innocent families alive in their homes, as well as burn large sections of a city, either. A notable exception to other Disney Laughably Evil villains. Even being a classic case of Knight Templar, the things he does casts his "good intentions" as being sham and hollow.

** Characters like the Archdeacon show that even his supposedly good, religiously motivated intentions are completely fake. The fact that Notre Dame herself comes alive to make him fall to his death implies that God Himself condemns him. It's with good reason that some people consider him to be one of the most evil villains in the history of all Western animation.

** To say nothing of his abusive guardianship of poor Quasimodo, whom he emotionally manipulates and mentally wounds so that the naive hunchback may be his obedient tool for his selfish use. He even lies to him about his gypsy mother, claiming he adopted baby Quasimodo after his mother had abandoned him due to his deformed, misshapen appearance. Not only all that, what really makes him terrible is that he's one of the most realistic villains Disney's ever done. Possessing no superpowers, in a movie without any outright supernatural elements, he's a corrupt authority figure who is a genocidal racist against a persecuted minority. Things like this could happen and have happened in real life. It's little wonder that he is widely considered to be among the most evil characters that the Walt Disney company has ever turned out.

* Mulan: This trope is basically the entire characterization of Shan-Yu. A vicious, egotistical barbarian of a man, Shan Yu views the Great Wall of China as being a challenge of his strength from the emperor, so he leads a bloody invasion of China with his end-game being to force the emperor to submit to him before killing him. He commits atrocities such as slaughtering an entire village of innocents just to destroy the emperor's army, lets two survivors of an attack of his escape with their lives only to have one murdered anyway since he believes that it'd only take one man to deliver a message, and even after losing most of his army he still refuses to back down, rallying his remaining troops to kill the emperor at the capital city. As one would expect from a man like him, he is feared by every character who doesn't follow him, sadistically enjoys his atrocities (he's smiling when talking about murdering a child), and naturally, he isn't redeemed.

* Lyle T. Rourke from  Atlantis The Lost Empire is a loathsome piece of work: a tomb-robbing mercenary who only cares about profit, and whose attitude is as horrific as his actions. He takes the Heart of Atlantis, which is precisely what keeps the Atlantians alive. Without it, they'd all die. Milo tells him this, and Rourke's response is to say that this increases the value of Atlantean relics: artifacts of a truly dead empire are worth more! So he's knowingly willing to commit genocide against an entire civilization just to profit off of their deaths. He's also responsible for the deaths of the feeble old king of Atlantis and his own loyal follower, Helga Sinclair. What settles his evil when killing the latter is that he jokes about it, and caps it off with a "Nothing personal!" What's rather frightening is that it isn't personal; he hadn't had any problems with Helga beforehand, and betrayed her simply because it slightly benefited him, since he saw her then as simply nothing but dead-weight.

* Dr. Facilier, or the Shadow Man, from The Princess and the Frog is a "very charismatic" conman and voodoo sorcerer who employs his demonic "Friends on the Other Side" for his own ambitious ends. Facilier tricks Prince Naveen into giving him his blood, cursing the prince into the form of a frog, while roping his greedy valet Lawrence into posing as the prince to marry into the inheritance of New Orleans's wealthiest sugar baron Eli "Big Daddy" LeBouff, ensuring Facilier can murder LeBouff and Naveen after to secure the fortune for his own. Plunged deep into debt to his "Friends" with his soul at stake, Facilier sinks to his lowest when he offers up the souls of New Orleans's citizens to his demonic "Friends" to glut themselves on, and even cold-bloodedly kills Ray the firefly when he poses an obstacle to his plans. Defined by his thirst for power, even Facilier's elastic, unmistakable charm can't disguise the monster he truly is underneath his suave conman facade.

* Next we have a surprising one: from Frozen II,.

=== Pixar ===

* Buddy Pine, a.k.a Syndrome from The Incredibles crosses the line into this trope. He lures retired superheroes to his private island where he sets them up to be brutally killed by his robot, the Omnidroid. His ultimate plan is to sic the Omnidroid on the city so he can pretend to be a superhero who comes to stop it, then continue playing superhero until he's ready to retire and sell off all his powerful, destructive gadgets to regular, potentially irresponsible people. That way "everyone can be super. And when everyone is super, no one will be." Why does he do this, you ask? When he was a small child, he idolized Mr. Incredible but was rejected by his hero when he finally met him. But ultimately, he comes off as an incredibly petty and childish sociopath. It gets even worse when he acts on this grudge and personally messes with Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) by electrically torturing him and sending missiles at a plane his wife and children are in (which Bob can hear on the other line of a communicator) cackling with sadistic glee as he thinks he's blown them up, and at Bob's resulting grief. Then when Bob makes an empty threat to kill his henchwoman Mirage if he doesn't release him, Syndrome shows how little he values life by saying "Ah, go ahead." Bob cannot bring himself to do it, which prompts Syndrome into calling him weak for not being able to take a life. And then at the end of the movie, he attempts to kidnap Jack-Jack, the family baby as part of a plan to raise him to where he'll hate his family and help Syndrome fight against them. It's immensely satisfying to see him get sliced to ribbons by an airplane's jet turbine. While Jason Lee gives a spectacularly hammy and goofy performance, it doesn't change the fact that Mr. Incredible and his family view him as a serious threat to the family, all supers, and the entire world.

** The comic adaptation by Dark Horse Comics actually makes him worse, as not only was Bob much less harsh in how he talked to Buddy while saving his life from his own recklessness (thus giving his Freudian Excuse and response to it even less sympathy), but rather than have the Omnidroid attack indiscriminately in the city, he programs it to specifically target innocent civilians in it's onslaught, with a woman and her infant child shown to be put in danger of being murdered outright!

* Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear from Toy Story 3. Leader of the toy community of Sunnyside Daycare Center, he allows the toys to be tortured and possibly broken by the too-young toddlers in the Caterpillar Room, and will do anything just to keep his reign if other toys step out of line. Here's just a short list of his atrocities: lying to Big Baby and Chuckles about their owner replacing all of them just so he wouldn't be alone in being lost, throwing Chuckles to the Caterpillar Room to be broken before Bonnie found him, turning Big Baby into his chief thug, ordering the Mind Rape resetting of Buzz Lightyear and then watching Buzz beat down his former friends with a cold sense of satisfaction, throwing undisciplined prisoner toys into solitary confinement in "the Box", beating Chatter Telephone to a pulp in order to find out about Woody's escape plan, mocking and physically striking Big Baby before ordering the toys to all be pushed into the dumpster, and, in the climax of the film, While he does have a sad backstory, there's a scene where Woody point blank calls him out on how weak it ultimately is in the face of his deeds (his owner replacing him with a new Lotso was, considering she doesn't know toys are alive, a sign of how she loved Lotso; basically Woody says that it was Lotso who abandoned HER, not the other way around.) Karma does kick him in the balls when he gets condemned to an eternity on a dump truck due to the very emotion that he scorned. All of his actions cement him as being among the most heinous and depraved villains to appear in a Pixar film.

** "The Art of Toy Story 3" book has the director and film staff mention that in a test screening, they were surprised that people sympathized with him TOO much because of his backstory and wanted him to turn good. The film crew responded by making small changes that increased the obviousness of his cruelty, to make the audience feel, like the director does, that Lotso gets exactly what he deserves in the end. In fact, as a result of his actions, Lotso was so hated that even the DISNEY STORE CLERKS tried discouraging a IMDb commentator's mother from buying a real Lotso bear at the Disney store in the local mall. When Disney creates a character so thoroughly despised that even the Disney staff want to prevent his merchandise from being brought, that's saying something.

* Cars 2

** is the overall leader of the Lemons who is an old model of a. At some point in his life, he recruited a gang of lemon cars just like him, including Professor Zündapp, to be his evil minions, using their pasts of being laughed at for not working right, just so he can turn them to his side. Then, having been lost in the wilderness, he sold off his oil platform and, while having Zündapp create an electromagnetic pulse to have the lemons use it to target other cars. At Tokyo, (plus, he even has his lemons target other cars at the World Grand Prix ); at Porto Corsa, he makes a speech about how all the lemons can overpower all other cars while showing more race cars being harmed at the same time; and finally at London, he plants a bomb in Mater's hood to kill him in a pit crew while knowing how many lives would be destroyed.

** The aformentioned Professor Zündapp is the Dragon of, and arguably more dangerous than the latter. Zündapp orders his henchmen, Grem and Acer, capture a spy car named Leland Turbo, and has him crushed into a cube, something his boss did not order him to do. When he finds Finn McMissile, he orders his henchmen to kill him, with one of his ships, named Tony Trihull, supposedly blowing him up, with Zündapp satisfied to hear the results. Later on, his henchmen capture Rod "Torque" Redline and take him to the Lemons' lair, where Zündapp finds out about Mater, and kills Redline afterwards. He also has his henchmen shoot an EMP beam at the race cars with Allinol inside them,. Eventually, when his plans are foiled, Zündapp voice-activates the bomb on Mater's hood to kill him after previously planted it, not caring about any of the lives lost in the process.

*** One important note is the way Zündapp kills Redline. He has his henchmen install Allinol into his system, with one of his Lemons slowly increasing the EMP with the others interrogating Redline. After the interrogation, Zündapp increases the EMP to full power, blowing up his engine and killing him. While Redline's death is only seen in a reflection of a picture of Mater, if one looks closely, he can be seen struggling to survive, until the full-powered EMP hits him and lights him on fire. His eyes become completely black, and all there is of him is nothing but a dead car that was originally sentient. That's a horrible way to die, especially for a kids' movie.

He would seek his revenge on not only the Tsar but his entire family to accomplish this he sold his soul to some forces and got his Reliquary in the process becoming a Lich (a type of undead creature with magical powers).

* Darkwing Duck:

** Taurus Bulba is the only villain on the show with almost no ounce of comedy at all. He had Gosalyn's scientist grandfather murdered, and when he was trying to get the code for the ram rod, he threatened to drop Gosalyn off a floating building if Darkwing didn't get the code: he had no proof that Darkwing was told of a code but was willing to try it anyway. His flying building dropping threatened the lives of most of St. Canard's population, and even after Darkwing had defeated him, he attempted a Taking You with Me in the explosion of his base. He was later on resurrected as a cyborg by F.O.W.L., and as thanks he destroyed the group's lab, setting off to work on his own, driven solely by the desire to destroy Darkwing and everything he cares about.

* Gargoyles

** For the most part, this series has a well-deserved reputation for sympathetic and three-dimensional villains - Xanatos pets at least as many dogs as he kicks, while Demona has an involved and tragic backstory that keeps her sympathetic despite the often extreme evil of her present appearances. There are, however, a few unrepentantly horrible ones, and perhaps most extreme of these is the sadistic Psycho for Hire Jackal. In most of his appearances his employers manage to keep his evil somewhat in check, but the episode "Grief" more than cements his presence here - upon acquiring the power of Anubis, he attempts to wipe out every living thing on the planet just because he can, also torturing his enemies by aging them to the point they are almost too infirm to move and transforming his own teammates into children, and even destroying an entire city before he is stopped.

** From the same series comes Hakon, a violent, sadistic, psychopathic viking warmonger who instigated the Wyvern massacre. In his debut, he invades Castle Wyvern with the intent of looting it and selling off its residents as slaves. After a humiliating defeat, Hakon vows vengeance against the Gargoyles, and with aid from the Captain of the Guard, successfully takes over the castle. However, not content with plundering the castle, Hakon slaughters most of the petrified Wyvern clan, threatening to kill the Captain if he gets in his way. When cornered by Goliath, he attempts to blame the Captain, before they both fall to their deaths. Blaming Goliath for his demise, his soul persisted within Castle Wyvern through The Power of Hate, and he, along with the Captain, torment Goliath with visions of the Wyvern massacre. Luring him deep into the castle, he gleefully commences a ritual that would revive him and have Goliath bound to the castle in his place. When the Captain turns on him and thwarts his plan, he stubbornly hangs onto his hate; binding his soul to an axe and teaming up with Wolf to kill Goliath and Hudson. A savage motivated by petty vengeance and senseless hatred, Hakon set the standard for how truly malevolent the show's villains could get.

** King Constantine III is a greedy, ambitious Scottish lord who manipulated the noblewoman Finella so he could murder King Kenneth and seize the crown. A brutal tyrant, Constantine directs his wrath against Gargoyles, slaughtering all he finds and intent on their complete eradication. Showing no care for the rules of war, Constantine has a messenger executed and intends in massacring the forces and allies of would-be King Kenneth III, even threatening to kill Kenneth's young son in front of him.

** Gillecomgain, the original Hunter, was the mace through which Constantine nearly authored the extinction of Gargoyles in Scotland. Once a peasant boy left scarred from a chance encounter with Demona, Gillecomgain used his scars as pretext for killing as many gargoyles as he possibly could, performing his task with such a single-minded, savage zeal that Constantine adopted a mask emulating the boy's scars. Gillecomgain had no trouble attempting to murder the unarmed son of Kenneth III when they were both but boys, and when he grew up he murdered the noble Findlaech and took his son Macbeth's beloved Gruoch into a forced, loveless marriage. Finally killed only due to the mutual efforts of Macbeth and Demona, Gillecomgain's brutality still ensured that others would succeed his mantle as the Hunter and preserve his bloodthirsty legacy for centuries to come.

** Proteus, a shapeshifting Serial Killer who wants to destroy his own people's city. While in confinement he gets his kicks by shapeshifting into the form of the Security Chief's father, the previous Chief whom Proteus murdered. Let me reiterate that: After being sent to prison for trying to commit genocide on his own people by destroying their city and murdering the cop who stopped him he gets his kicks by tormenting the cop's son with his dead father's image. And when he tricks his way to freedom, Proteus delights in sowing the seeds of chaos all through the city, using people's emotions against them with his powers for sick thrills and trying to destroy his city and commit genocide on his own people yet again before being stopped for good.

*Aladdin: The Series: Most of Aladdin's enemies have some degree of comedic traits. However, things get much darker when either of these two are around:

**Mozenrath is the most personal, recurring foe that Aladdin has faced. A youthful sorcerer who betrayed, zombified, and enslaved his own master and now rules over the Land of the Black Sand and it's zombie denizens, Mozenrath enacts a variety of schemes to destroy Agrabah, kill Aladdin, and bind Genie to his will - trapping Aladdin and his friends in his citadel and sending a Magic Eater after Genie, threatening to magically torture Aladdin to death at Dagger Rock unless Princess Jasmine delivers the Genie to him, and attempting to unleash the Wind Jackal Shirocco to annihilate Agrabah and threatening to do the same to every other kingdom of the world if they don't kowtow to him. Mozenrath later dominates the entire race of Sprites, turning them into a force of slaves that he works to near-death before trying to wipe them all out when they rebel. Mozenrath also traps a large portion of the Sultan's palace in an alternate plane of existence to be damned while he swoops in for control, at one point even making an implicit threat to have his way with Jasmine sexually, and in another plot manipulated Genie and his girlfriend Eden with dirty tricks so as to turn them into living batteries. In his final bout of villainy, Mozenrath tries to bodyjack Aladdin and leave the boy hero trapped in either his own dying body, or inside Mozenrath's mind while he conquers the world in Aladdin's own body.

** Mirage is evil incarnate, devoted only to proliferating misery and destroying all that is good. As an early testament to her evil, Mirage orders a village and its population incinerated in her debut just because of the crops they grow for the surrounding land. Mirage's plots range from the grandiose to the sadistically petty, everything from attempting to have all of Agrabah destroyed and brewing up civil wars for fun, to trying to destroy Aladdin and Jasmine's love for each other by slowly transforming Jasmine into a snake, even to zombifying all of Agrabah's citizens to turn them against their heroes. Mirage even tempts children into her clutches, promising them immortality in exchange for becoming the monstrous El-Katib, a process she neglects to mention entails their eternal servitude in a dark void with release only ever three years. Mirage has no issue abandoning the El-Katib to die, coldly leaving them all to perish in the sunlight when one of them finally defies her.

**Kileem is the evil ancestor of the beloved Sultan and was stated as the "dark secret" Sultan's family had tried to hide for many years, having turned himself into a stone statue to obtain a strange form of immortality Kileem was known for leaving behind a suit of armor that made whoever wore it invincible, unknown to all was the Kileem also cursed the armor so that whoever wore it would be possessed by Kileem's evil spirit.

When a giant minotaur named General Tusk goes on a rampage and can't be stopped by the efforts of the heroes Sultan decides he has no choice but to don the armor, fearing for his kingdom as well as Jasmine, who refused to surrender to General Tusk.

Sultan would don the armor and became possessed by Kileem, while he effortlessly defeated General Tusk the evil spirit of his ancestor changed his personality drastically and he would fly into a horrendous rage anytime even the slightest "insult" was thrown his way: when Aladdin returned to the kingdom with an ambassador from a neighboring nation he was eager to show said ambassador the kindness of the Sultan, the ambassador in turn was delighted at the prospect of forging an alliance.

However, both sensed a change as the Sultan's throne room was now decorated with weapons and war-trophies, including the giant tusks of General Tusk, when the ambassador innocently remarked that it was incredible a man of Sultan's "stature" defeated General Tusk the spirit of Kileem flew into an evil rage and began to painfully crush the ambassador's hand and exchanged a fiery threat:

Kileem: "what you do *mean* a man of my *stature*!?"

Ambassador: "forgive me, I meant to disrespect"

Kileem: "after an insult like that you should *BEG* me not to declare war on your kingdom!"

Shocked at the brutality of the usually kind-natured Sultan Aladdin quickly escorted the ambassador to safety as Jasmine noted how the armor had made Sultan strong but had changed him for the "worse".

Things proceeded to get worse as Kileem's influence grew and he planned to conquer all the seven deserts (Jasmine later clarified this as "the whole world") - all due to what he saw as a personal insult.

When Aladdin and his crew try to stop Kileem he labels them traitors and attacks, he then has Jasmine arrested and sentenced to execution for her part in his "betrayal", however Razoul refuses to harm Jasmine as he realizes the Sultan has gone insane and frees her, this results in Kileem denouncing Razoul as another traitor and declaring he shalll execute Jasmine personally, tossing her from the tower, luckily she is rescued by Aladdin and Carpet.

Now enraged beyond all reason Kileem goes on a war-path, threatening to destroy the kingdom itself, Jasmine tells Genie that he must stop Kileem and that he was no longer her father, Genie is saddened but knowing the threat Kileem possesses fights him, yet even Genie's magic is no match for a literally invincible Sultan, who beats him badly.. however Genie does distract him long enough for the group to find out the true source of the curse, Kileem's statue.

Aladdin tricks Kileem into charging at him before leaping to the side, since only Kileem's invincible armor could destroy the statue, when the statue shattered Kileem's evil spirit rose and screamed in rage before being destroyed for good, freeing Sultan - who has no memory of his time as Kileem's slave and simply asks if he managed to defeat General Tusk.

* Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: In a campy, lighthearted series, these disloyal renegades stand out by darkening the tone whenever they appear:

** NOS-4-A2 is a vampire-themed robot and one of the most persistent, villainous threats the Space Rangers have ever faced. Created by Zurg to destroy Star Command, NOS-4-A2 begins viciously draining robots across the galaxy of their energy and life, leaving a trail of robotic corpses in his wake and claiming the lives of Savy's foster parents. NOS-4-A2 makes several different attempts to destroy the entirety of Star Command and its hundreds of Space Rangers, and even tries pettier routes such as transforming Ty Parsec into a Wirewolf to strike blows against Star Command. In his grandest, most horrible scheme, NOS-4-A2 overthrows Zurg and turns Ty into a Living Battery so as to transform all life in the galaxy into ravenous Wirewolves, enabling NOS-4-A2 to feed on any and all beings he so wishes, which the vampire kicks off by betraying and trying to murder his partner XL when the robot outlives his usefulness.

** Evil Buzz Lightyear is an alternate version of Buzz from a parallel universe who lacks his bold heroism. A gleefully evil conqueror who successfully destroyed Star Command and imprisoned every ranger there, Evil Buzz proceeded to wipe out millions across the galaxy—including Capital Planet and Tangea—and claim control of the universe he inhabited. Encountering a Zurg from another dimension, Evil Buzz partners with him upon being offered control of his universe. Imprisoning Buzz and destroying Star Command, Evil Buzz takes Team Lightyear captive to be killed. Partnering with Gravitina after his initial defeat, Evil Buzz, as revenge for Buzz "ruining" his home universe, plans to use Gravitina's powers to cause a series of sunquakes that will rain comets upon numerous populated planets, specifically targeting Capital Planet and Star Command just to spite Buzz. Despite forming a romantic relationship with Gravitina, Evil Buzz leaves her behind to die once their space station starts collapsing into the sun.

* American Dragon: Jake Long:

** The Huntsman is the worst of the Hunts Clan, seeing as he is their leader. He kidnapped Rose at birth and is quite possibly the one who personally brainwashed her into believing in the Huntsclan way of life. As Rose's abduction means that this is probably the way that all Huntsclan members are recruited, this possibly gives him somewhat of a Freudian Excuse. However, seeing as his hatred has consumed him to the point where he has continued to kidnap infants from their parents despite knowing that he himself was kidnapped, he could be considered even more of a monster. The Huntsman has also killed a magical creature onscreen and, of course, who could forget that when he found out about Rose's Heel Face Turn, he threatened to kill her parents if she refused to help him acquire the means to kill every single magical creature on Earth.

* Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!:

** Mandarin was the original leader of the Hyperforce, and the one who inadvertently turned their kindly creator, the Alchemist, into the malevolent Skeleton King. Even as a hero, Mandarin was a sadistic bully who at one point had his younger sister, Nova, participate in a torturous "training exercise" that entailed Nova being subjected to worsening sub-zero temperatures by Mandarin, who could be heard giggling at the obvious pain and discomfort that he was causing Nova. Eventually concluding that he was better than everyone else, Mandarin turned to evil and attempted to conquer Shuggazoom, only to be defeated and imprisoned by the rest of the Hyperforce, who replaced him with Chiro. After escaping from custody, Mandarin enslaves everyone in Shuggazoom City, captures the Hyperforce, and tries to tempt Chiro to his side by telling him that We Can Rule Together. Later allying with the Skeleton King, Mandarin abducts and rips off the head of Chiro's robot girlfriend, Jinmay, and psychically tortures Chiro into revealing the whereabouts of the missing Hyperforce, who he also mentally tortures in an attempt to destroy their wills and turn them into mindless servants of himself and the Skeleton King. In his final appearance, Mandarin attempts to create a perfect clone of Chiro. After Chiro destroys his replicator, Mandarin has all of the remaining imperfect clones merge together to form a massive Blob Monster that he orders to devour every living thing on Shuggazoom.

** On the surface, Ma and Pa Sheenko appear to just be the kindly old owners of Shuggazoom City's arcade, but in reality the two are the leaders of the Skeletal Circle, an Apocalypse Cult made up of Shuggazoomians who have sworn allegiance to the Skeleton King. In the past, the couple offered their daughter, Valeena, to the Skeleton King, who tainted her with his evil, turning her into the wicked Skull Sorceress. After the Skeleton King was killed, the Sheenkos stole his skull so that they could take its power for themselves and pick up where the Skeleton King left off by raining destruction down on the universe, starting with their own "pathetic" home world of Shuggazoom. Ma and Pa unleash worsening supernatural disasters on Shuggazoom City, and when a vagrant stumbles onto one of the Skeletal Circle's underground chambers, he is strung up and left to be Eaten Alive by giant rats summoned by Ma and Pa. Before using the Skeleton King's power to mutate themselves into demons, Ma and Pa ask their daughter to join them, and when she refuses, they attack her while declaring that she will suffer along with everyone else on Shuggazoom.

* Get Ed has one in the form of Mr. Simon Bedlam, an evil bureaucrat and Corrupt Corporate Executive who was originally business partners with Anthony Ol' Skool before he cheated him out of the business, leaving Ol' Skool with nothing. He also expands his business by killing off all his competitors and gaining a significant half of Progress City, before deciding to destroy the other half so he can rebuild under his control, uncaring about the innocent lives lost in the process. When courier Ed foils this plan, Bedlam develops an obsession with Ed's DNA, to use it for his own sinister machinations. This obsession would have Bedlam subject Ed to a DNA extracting process which he describes as "very painful", forcibly convert an innocent man into a cyborg to kill Ed, and forces Ed to watch as he subjects Deets, Ed's Love Interest who was forced to work for Bedlam when he was holding her parents hostage, to Electric Torture until Ed complies to give him his DNA. Using his DNA to physically turn himself into another version of Ed, Bedlam then proceeds to destroy the couriers headquarters, seemingly killing Ol' Skool along the way, and later kills off his own right-hand woman, Kora, when he believes that she is of no use for him. When he learns of "The Machine" and its destructive capabilities he decides to use it to destroy Progress City and re-create it in his own image, which would kill millions in the process. A monstrous megalomaniac willing to destroy everything and everyone in his path to obtain total control over Progress City, Bedlam cements himself as the heroes most feared and personal adversary for very good reason.

* Tron Uprising:

** General Tesler is the brutal dictator dispatched by CLU to subjugate Argon City, and as such, is responsible for most of the series's crimes. Years ago, Tesler was informed by two programs of the presence of an ISO, a persecuted minority, at their hospital, at which point Tesler ordered the entire hospital be slaughtered, including the two who informed him of the ISO, simply because they saw the rogue ISO program. As the ruler of Argon, Tesler sets up the Games, a gladiatorial tournament where programs are regularly forced to fight to the death for even minor infractions against Tesler's rule; Tesler has no problem throwing innocents in for even touching him. Refusing to accept any weakness or failure from his soldiers, Tesler ruthlessly executes them for decreasingly legitimate reasons as the series goes on, punching a hole through one for simply surviving an assault on his base. Though seeming to care for one of his Co-Dragons, Paige, Tesler is quickly revealed to be manipulating her into his servitude, having convinced her that an ISO butchered her best friends when it was Tesler himself, and regularly goes behind her back and murders people she likes or cares for, which culminates in him showing no restraint in ordering her executed when he thinks she betrays him. With a cold disdain for everything not under his thrall, General Tesler stands out across the Tron franchise as perhaps the most wicked villain.

** Pavel, one of Tesler's two Co-Dragons alongside Paige, makes his mark as the single most sadistic and cruel character in the Tron universe. Though often kept in check by Tesler or Paige, when Pavel gets the chance to run wild, he threatens innocents by the dozens, murders his own minions with glee, and slices a Bit, the Tron equivalent of a pet, in half. After accidentally damaging a train's engine while trying to kill a single passenger, dooming the hundreds onboard, Pavel cackles about it while expressing his desire to stay and watch the fireworks as the passengers die, revolting Paige, and is also revealed to run his own torture chamber, littered with the remains of his many previous victims, and proceeds to use said chamber to mutilate a program's hand for nothing more than spraying graffiti. Continuously trying to usurp Tesler and gain more personal power, Pavel arranges for three teenage programs to be executed to embarrass Tesler, frames the loyal Paige for treason by Mind Raping her, before doing the same to his partners in crime, and hides a powerful upgrade disk from Tesler, using it to massacre an entire room of innocent programs as a test run while cackling like a lunatic. An utter madman who horrified and disgusted everyone he interacted with, Pavel may not have had the power of CLU or Tesler, but he more than made up for it in sheer depravity and evil.

** Dyson is the smug and arrogant top enforcer to CLU and the most personal foe Tron himself ever faced. Once a close friend of Tron, Dyson's prejudice and hatred against the ISOs spurred him to betray Tron and Flynn, allying with CLU and helping the madman take over the Grid and commit genocide of the ISOs. Personally and horrifically torturing Tron, Dyson cheerfully reveals he has reformatted hundreds upon hundreds of Programs to be CLU's personal army, taunting Tron that all of his squadmates have suffered the same fate. In the present an overseer of operations who keeps CLU's oppressions at their highest while casually murdering his own soldiers, Dyson forces hundreds of Programs into slave labor under threat of death for the most minor reasoning, all to complete a "Super Realizer" and use it to reformat countless Programs faster than ever.

* Gravity Falls: Bill Cipher is a one eyed, pyramid shaped Eldritch Abomination who rules over the realm of nightmares and serves as the primary Big Bad of the story. Originally from the flat 2nd dimension, Bill detested the dull normalcy of his world so much that the first thing he did when he received his Reality Warping powers was lay waste to it and plunge it into total disorder, killing even his own family. Viewing Earth as being in similar need of "liberation", Bill sought a way to enter Earth's reality in psychical form so that he could unleash "Weirdmageddon" upon the entire planet. He began his plan years in the making by linking his new realm of anomalies to the town of Gravity Falls, Oregon. He entered the mind of the inquisitive Stanford Pines, befriending him as his "muse" and research partner, and deceiving him into constructing a machine that would allow Bill and his demon underlings to invade Earth while also creating enough power to tear the universe apart. After Ford saw what Bill was truly planning and abandoned construction of the machine, Bill relentlessly hounded him via invading his thoughts and dreams, or sometimes even resorting to Demonic Possession. When we meet Bill in the present day plot, his antics include invading Stanley Pines' mind through the dreamscape as part of a deal with Gideon Gleeful and later attempting to destroy Dipper, Mabel, and Soos purely out of frustration, tricking Dipper into letting him take over his body so that he could smash Ford's old computer and destroy his secret journals, and finally breaking the Dimensional Rift that he coaxes an emotionally distraught Mabel into giving him while incognito, which allows him and his demons to enter the physical world at last. He kicks off his apocalyptic "party" with nearly killing a man by rearranging his face, turning Ford into a golden miniature statue, ordering his minions to eat Dipper, unleashing distortion and destruction upon the entire town, turning many residents to stone to build himself a "throne of human agony", and wiping out Time Baby and the Time Police when they attempt to crash his party. He also had Mabel trapped in a Lotus Eater Machine trap that would gradually Mind Rape her and anyone else who entered. Bill ultimately intended to spread chaos across the globe so that the world could become his playground. In the Grand Finale, he tortures Ford with electricity in order to make him tell him how to break the anti-weirdness barrier around Gravity Falls, then decides that torturing Ford's young niece and nephew, Dipper and Mabel, might get better results given how much Ford cared about them. He takes out the souls of the Pines Family's friends and seals them within banners, and then attempts to murder Dipper and Mabel. Despite being certifiably insane and having a serious case of Evil Cannot Comprehend Good, Bill seemed perfectly aware of basic human morality and sanity, being all too willing to exploit it for his own ends and never caring to follow it himself. He put his own self interest above all else, treated even his own demon "buddies" as slaves to do his bidding, and his quirky, Crazy Awesome, Laughably Evil persona could not detract from his menace. Petty, psychotically childish, sadistic to the extreme, and possessing a sick sense of humor, Bill ended up one of the darkest and most horrifying villains to come out of a Disney animated series.

** A note by Bill himself in the official Journal #3 makes his Grand Theft Me of Dipper even more disturbing. It reads: ''Note to self: possessing people is hilarious! To think of all the sensations I've been missing out on - burning, stabbing, drowning. It's like a buffet of fun! Once I destroy that journal, I'll enjoy giving this body it's Grand Finale - by throwing it off the water tower! Best of all, people will just think Pine Tree lost his mind, and his mental form will wander in the mindscape forever! Want to join him, Shooting Star?''

* DuckTales (2017):

**General Lunaris, the Big Bad of the second season, is the leader of a secret civilization of aliens that live on the moon, called Moonlanders. Believing the moon to be a planet and resentful of his father's fear of planet Earth, Lunaris schemed to create a means of invading Earth and conquering it in order to prove that the moon should be feared instead. Lunaris hijacked satellites around the moon in order to make a surveillance system of Earth in his secret war room, where he gathered information on potential threats to him that would need to be eliminated first in the invasion; one such threat being the Duck family, so when one member of said family, Della Duck, crashlanded on the moon, Lunaris made sure all of her transmissions never made it back home, as Della was stranded on the moon in total isolation for over 10 whole years. When finally revealing himself and the existence of his people to Della, Lunaris pretended to be friendly to her and manipulated events so that Della could get rid of a long-standing threat to the moon's gold supply, repair her rocket ship with that gold, and be forced to leave without taking any of the Moonlanders she'd befriended with them like she'd promised, prompting Lunaris to ask her to leave behind her ship's blueprints so that the Moonlanders could go to Earth. But once Della was gone, Lunaris shot himself in the arm and told his people that Della had betrayed them, and that she was planning on coming back with forces to invade the moon, so they'd have to invade Earth first. He also played on the emotions of his own lieutenant Penumbra, mocking her and Della's compassion as being weakness. When Della's brother Donald crash landed on the moon by mistake, Lunaris took him prisoner and made him out to be a threat to his people despite knowing he was harmless. He eventually revealed to Donald that once the invasion is launched, he was planning on first killing the Duck family's kids, in order to break the spirits of the adults and leave them open to destruction. When Lunaris and his forces finally invaded Earth, landing in Duckburg and assaulting and imprisoning its citizens indiscriminately, Lunaris directly threatened Scrooge's family in order to deceive Scrooge and Della into acting against their own best interests while he brought down a super weapon to change the planet's rotation so that it would orbit the moon, risking bringing about the extinction of all Earthly life. Upon getting outmaneuvered by the combined efforts of Scrooge, Flintheart Glomgold, and the Duck family, Lunaris flew into a rage and attempted to just destroy the planet outright as revenge on the Ducks for spoiling his plans, not even caring that his fellow Moonlanders were still on Earth. A smug, self-important conqueror with a cold disregard for all other life forms and a penchant for pitiless cruelty and deceit, Lunaris was among the vilest and most personally effecting adversaries the Duck clan ever faced.

** Taurus Bulba, inventor of the reality-warping RamRod and one of the chief agents of F.O.W.L., is introduced in the third season special episode "Let's Get Dangerous!" as a brilliant, charismatic scientist and colleague of the mysteriously-vanished Professor Waddlemeyer. Bulba heavily implies that he himself tossed Waddlemeyer into another dimension in protest over the destructive effects of the RamRod, does the same to Scrooge when he clues into Bulba's plans, and betrays the head of F.O.W.L. to spearhead a more extravagant means of world domination. Bulba attempts to use the RamRod to utterly remake the world, even if it means totally ripping apart the old reality and putting a new one in its place.

* The Lion Guard: In "Return of the Roar", we're told that while Mufasa was studying to became king, Scar was given leadership of the Lion Guard, the Pride Lands' special protection force. This responsibility came along with a powerful roar that called upon the spirits of the kings of the past. But this power went to Scar's head and made him feel like he should be the king rather than Mufasa, so he attempted to persuade the Lion Guard into bringing his brother down. When the Guard wouldn't agree to this, an enraged Scar unleashed his roar directly on them, killing them all. Because he had used the roar for an evil purpose like mass murder of his own kind, Scar lost the ability forever. In Season 2, years after his initial death in the movie, Scar is brought back as a fiery volcano spirit and tries to lead the animals of the Outlands on a brutal conquest of the Pride Lands, first by cutting off the river and entire water supply of the whole Pride Lands, and eventually simply trying to have them burn the savannah and all its inhabitants. In the climax of this story arc, Scar attempts to burn the new Lion Guard, Simba, Nala, Kiara, and the hyena clan to death, the latter for one of them considering on defecting to the Pride Lands, before planning on tricking Kion into erupting the volcano with his roar, which will kill everyone in the Pride Lands. When confronted by the Lion Guard, Scar has Ushari scar Kion, with the snake's venom slowly bringing Kion into insanity as Scar declares that Kion will now be just like him. Even after the death of his physical body, Scar remained a hateful creature driven by spite.

* Tangled: The Series (AKA Rapunzel's Tangled Adventures): Zhan Tiri is a powerful shapeshifter responsible for most of the bad events that transpired throughout the series. A former friend and ally of Lord Demanitus in their search for the Sundrop and Moonstone, Zhan Tiri betrayed Demanitus so she could claim the power of both elements for herself. When sealed away into another realm, Zhan Tiri vowed to destroy Corona, the land Demanitus held dear out of revenge. Turning three of Demanitus' disciples into her followers, Zhan Tiri was able to return and corrupted the Great Tree, using its powers to kill anyone who opposed her. When Demanitus forced her out of the tree, she fled to the northern mountains and conjured up a magical blizzard to decimate Corona with. Even when she's sealed away once again, she left behind a monstrous legacy of destruction and misery as her followers continued to do her bidding. Among them was Mother Gothel, who used her learnings under Demanitus and Zhan Tiri for her own gain, making Zhan Tiri indirectly responsible for Rapunzel's abduction as a child. Meanwhile, her curse on Corona, the blizzard, returns to nearly destroy the whole kingdom and this indirectly leads to Varian's descent into villainy. The spirits of her two other followers, Sugracha and Tromus, make two attempts to drain the life from Rapunzel in order to grant the Sundrop's power to Zhan Tiri, which could, when combined with the Moonstone's power, release her from her imprisonment and gain her ultimate power over life and death. Finally appearing in the third season in the form of an enchanted little girl, Zhan Tiri meets Cassandra and pretends to be her confidant. She convinces Cassandra to betray Rapunzel and steal the Moonstone for herself in order to pit the two former friends against each other, with the resulting clash of powers allowing Zhan Tiri to escape her prison. Once freed, Zhan Tiri continues to exploit Cassandra's Inferiority Superiority Complex to manipulate her into committing many crimes from threatening to impale a girl on spiked rocks to brainwashing the Brotherhood of the Dark Kingdom into becoming her slaves. When Cassandra extracts the Sundrop from Rapunzel, Zhan Tiri betrays Cassandra and steals both the Sundrop and Moonstone for herself. With her new powers, Zhan Tiri transforms into her demon form and resumes her destructive plans, casting the decay incantation to slowly and painfully kill all life across the land. Sadistic and grandiose, Zhan Tiri stopped at nothing in pursuit of absolute power, believing it to be her birthright to subjugate or destroy all she sees fit.

* Elena of Avalor: Cahu, the Time Shade, is the leader of the Four Shades of Awesome (formerly the Shadows of the Night) and is the cruelest and most ruthless of them all. Possessing the power in her hourglass to fast-forward one's life span until they perish and their beings are left sealed within the fossilized murals left behind, Cahu let this terrible power loose on the citizens of Avalor, murdering almost the entire population of the kingdom. When Esteban confronts his surrogate guardians, Fransisco and Luisa, inside the throne room, Cahu attacks them right in front of Esteban and doesn't bring them back to life when he orders her to, instead threatening Esteban into the position of Avalor's Puppet King who must let her and her fellow Shades reek destruction upon the world as they please. In the final showdown with Princess Elena, Cahu uses her powers to toy with her before attempting to kill her in a slower way so that Elena will feel every bit of her own demise, only failing because Esteban takes the blow for Elena instead. Possessing a chillingly calm form of sadism not seen in any other antagonist in the series and with no redeeming features to be seen, Cahu was the darkest threat that Avalor ever faced.

====Live-Action====

* My Babysitter's a Vampire: Vice Principal Stern appears to be just a Sadist Teacher, but it turns out to be a cover. He is truly a genocidal Evil Sorcerer who wants to kill all vampires and supernatural creatures, even knowing full well that not all are evil, and that some of which are even students at his school. He starts his plan by summoning the Breath of Death, a mist that drives vampires to kill each other. After that plan falls flat, he realizes that Ethan Morgan is a seer and thus a potential threat to his plans, so he attempts to kill him before later tormenting him with a hallucinations of his worst fear (of everyone being dead), hoping he'll succumb to it and thus no longer be in his way. He later steals a energy draining weapon called the Lucifractor and goes on a killing spree on the vampire council. He attempts to attach the Lucifractor to the Caller, a vampire beacon, to kill all vampires everywhere, and when Ethan tries to stop him, Stern casts a spell on Benny to turn him evil. All done without any remorse and in pursuit of power over lesser beings.

* Lab Rats: Victor Krane is an insane and power hungry billionaire who worked with the former villain Douglas Davenport in his plans to brainwash Adam, Bree and Chase however after Chase resists the programming Krane attempts to have the other brainwashed Lab Rats (his siblings) kill him against Douglas's wishes and declares that for now on they will kill all three of them which causes Douglas to turn against him. Krane afterwards tries to strangle Douglas to death for his betrayal and locks 14 year old Leo and his mother Tasha inside an oven attempting to burn them to death to find and kill Adam, Bree and Chase. In his final appearance, he uses a bionic army and plans to use the Triton App to brainwash all of humanity to rule over it as it's dictator.

Having infiltrated a colonized planet built by Donald called Davenportia, him and Gao begin phase one of their new plan by kidnapping and brainwashing the colonists, along with Donald and Tasha and intend to inject a serum into them that will turn them into mindless bionic soldiers under their command to rule the Earth, not before killing it's inhabitants by detonating a missile on the Earth which will cause a nuclear winter that would wipe out all life. Once thwarted, Krane hijacks a colony space pod and attacks a ship that the Lab Rats and colonists are on declaring that if he can't have his bionic army that he will take them out with them.

* Once Upon a Time:

** In the early seasons of Once Upon a Time, the greatest evil is not the Evil Queen, Rumpelstiltskin, Captain Hook, or the Queen of Hearts - it's Peter Pan. He's the amoral, self centered, sociopathic boy of the original tale taken Up to Eleven and stripped of any redeeming qualities. Pan is a demon boy who sends his shadow to take children away from their homes and families to Neverland and once there, they are made his servants who are never permitted to leave. All who try to leave he has the shadow kill by taking out their souls. He has an extreme Lack of Empathy for anyone who isn't himself, only thinks about his own interests above all else, and delights in torturing and destroying others, mentally and physically. because it amuses him. Since he was dying due to Neverland's magic leaving him, his ultimate plan that was decades in the making was to absorb the heart of the child who is the truest believer in magic, so that he can then absorb the magic of the entire island in order to become all-powerful and immortal, while the child dies in his place. That said child is Henry Mills, Since Henry must give up his heart willingly, Pan emotionally manipulates Henry, playing off his psyche and pretending to be his friend. On the side, he kept Wendy Darling captive for years and used her life as leverage so that her two brothers (kept alive by his magic) could do his work running the anti-magic organization on Earth. Once his initial plan fails, he swaps bodies with Henry and plans to re-cast the Dark Curse on Storybrooke so that it can be frozen in time and he can become it's ruler, making it the new Neverland. The citizens would be him to torture as he pleases, as he puts it "death is final - their suffering will be eternal." The kicker?

** The spin-off series, Once Upon A Time In Wonderland gave us

Isla, from season 7's "Flower Child", is a spoiled aristocrat who despises magical beings. For her genocide crusade, Isla seemingly befriends the young Gothel, only to have her humiliated and bullied and has the tree nymphs' home invaded, ordering the slaughter of all magical beings, including Gothel's family, leading to the creation of the land without magic. With Gothel driven to villainy through her actions, the indirect consequences of Isla's cruelty cause further turmoil throughout the work.

=== Live-Action Films ===

* Mr. Dark in the adaptation of Ray Bradburry's Something Wicked This Way Comes is a devil incarnate who leads a Circus of Fear in enslaving the souls of everyone in town. He sews lies and manipulation into his every word in order to lure victims right to where he wants them, is not opposed to torture or murder in order to get his way, tries to have children beheaded at one point of the film and later on attempts to take one of them to be his child while the other one would be turned back into an infant for his midget underlings to abuse, and attempts a massive Mind Rape on Charles Halloway in order to break him and send him to a Fate Worse Than Death. Dark is also filled with nothing but evil thoughts, not able to comprehend positive emotions and cannot stand The Power of Love.

* Princess Mombi in Return to Oz somehow manages to outdo the Wicked Witch of the West in sheer unpleasantness: let's start with the asking price for helping the Nome King- the heads of several beautiful women. Mombi keeps these heads, still alive and still conscious, in a hall of cabinets; every so often, she'll "slip into something more comfortable" by swapping heads. And when Dorothy arrived in the Emerald City, Mombi had her imprisoned, fully intending to keep her there until she reached adulthood just so she could have a fully-mature head to add to her "collection." She's also the one who's been keeping Princess Ozma imprisoned so that she instead could be hold power over all of Oz, a reign she'd hoped to secure once the Nome King was free to leave the land behind.

* Judge Doom (played totally against his type by Christopher Lloyd) from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. We all deduce he's a bad guy the first time we see him but we don't know he's a bit more than a classical villain. He's the much feared Hanging Judge of Toontown, who thinks - as he says - the only way to "put an end to insanity is make sure toons respect the law". So - in order to give examples - he mercilessly executes any harmless toon who stands on his way (which particularly enjoys it) - melting it in the Dip (a mixture of turpentine, acetone, benzine and the only way to kill a toon). In one of the most infamous scenes of the movie he even melts a poor little toon shoe. It's then revealed he's the mind behind the murders Marvin Acme (which Roger Rabbit has been framed for) and RK Maroon and he intends to erase Toontown and its citizens from the face of the Earth to build a freeway due its profit and benefits.

** Ironically, so just to clarify, he basically engineered. The sheer wrongness of such a villain in an eighties family-friendly movie is astounding.

* Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice from Dick Tracy is a mob boss seeking to control the city. After having a rival gang shot to death while playing cards, he strong-arms Lips Manlis into turning over control of his nightclub, territory and girlfriend Breathless Mahoney—who Big Boy threatens and mistreats—to him, before having Lips killed in a cement bath. Part of Big Boy's plan is to unite all the remaining gangs, and when one rejects him, Big Boy has their car bombed as they're leaving. Trying to get Dick Tracy out of his way, Big Boy bribes him, and when this fails, tries to kill Tracy. Upon discovering his new club has been bugged by Tracy, Big Boy has the cop informing on him almost given the same cement bath as Lips and then takes part in killing Fletcher, the DA in his pocket, to frame Tracy. Framed for the abduction of Tracy's girlfriend Tess Trueheart by rival gangster The Blank - really Breathless - Big Boy abandons his men and runs off with her, nearly letting her head get crushed by a clockwork. He also shoots and morally wounds Blank as well.

* Tom and Huck has one in its rendition of Injun Joe. He, along with Muff Potter, is hired by Dr. Robinson to dig up a grave. When the three men find a treasure map in the grave, and Robinson decides to keep it for himself, Joe brutally murders Robinson and frames Potter for the crime. When Tom testifies that Injun Joe is the true killer to save Potter from being hung, Joe throws a knife at him and vows to kill him for this. Joe later kills his partner in crime Emmett for betraying him. After that, Joe chases Tom and Becky in the cave, fully intent on killing them in both vengeance and to ensure they don't reach the hidden treasure first. He at last catches up with Tom once he finds the treasure, ready to kill him again when Huck Finn comes to the rescue. In the ensuing fight, Joe makes the threat of gutting Huck to death for his interference before Tom distracts him, making him stumble over the edge of a chasm to his Disney Villain Death. For all of his time on screen, Joe was truly savage, selfish, greedy, and unrepentant.

* Andrei Strasser from 1998's Mighty Joe Young is an Evil Poacher definitely turned Up to Eleven and possibly even worse than Percival McLeach since he's played on more realistic levels. Killing little Joe's mother was just the beginning, he also did the same thing to Dr Ruth Young when she tries to save the little gorilla (it's uncertain if he did it on purpose, anyway he feels no remorse about it). He also owns a fake animal preserve while he actually secretly butchers endangered species and selling the animal organs off on the black market. This guy is so ruthless that even his partner in crime decides to quit when he arrives at trying to shoot Jill Young.

* Pirates of the Caribbean franchise:

** The second and third movie have a Complete Monster in Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company, who serves as the Big Bad of the initial trilogy. Upon his arrival at Port Royal, Beckett assumes illegal control and has the governor's messenger murdered. He later enslaves Davy Jones, forcing him to kill his pet Kraken and making him his personal attack dog of the seas. He later murders Governor Swann when he's deemed to be of no further use to him. It is made abundantly clear that Beckett's prime concern is power and control, and since piracy is a threat to that, he initiates a purge of anyone even vaguely associated with piracy but with all legal proceedings suspended, including the hanging of a 10-year-old boy. In a DISNEY film. Oh, and per supplemental materials, he spent at least some time as a slaver. Values Dissonance aside, Beckett seems overall very apathetic and completely devoid of emotion aside from self satisfaction. Smug Snake, smug smile, smug everything...ugh.

*** It should be noted that hanging a child is especially heinous for more than just the obvious reason. Hanging is meant to be a quick death by snapped spinal cord. Children typically don't have enough weight for this to happen from hanging by the neck, so for them it's a slow, painful suffocation instead. Incidentally, there have been stories of similar happenings during the Holocaust.

** Captain Edward Teach, the ever-infamous Blackbeard from the fourth film is also an example: Priding himself on being one of the most feared men on the high seas. Blackbeard torturing his prisoners and abuses and murders members of his own crew on the basis of "if I don't kill a man every now and then, they forget who I am", incinerating his ship's cook alive just to demonstrate this and resurrecting some of his own slain crew members as mindlessly obedient zombies. On his quest to the Fountain of Youth to avert his prophesied death at the hands of a one-legged man, Blackbeard puts a mermaid named Syrena through hideous treatment for the sole purpose of gaining her tear, first showing her the remains of her own fellow mermaids, and then ordering Phillip, the single man who displays compassion to her, killed in front of her out of spite. While Blackbeard claims to love his daughter, he undersells even this through a risky game of Russian Roulette with his own daughter's life where he orders his chief mook to load two guns with a bullet each, and keep even himself in the dark as to which guns are loaded, and later had the gall to lie to his daughter about knowing which ones are loaded, and later still when he ultimately tried to sacrifice her life to save his own at the Fountain of Youth. Blackbeard even admits he feels closest to God in moments of pain and anguish and calmly tortured and murdered anyone who dared to stand against him. In general, this guy is basically the single most despicable pirate imaginable (much like his Real Life counterpart), and he knows it.

** Captain Armando Salazar in the fifth film is a self-righteous fanatic who seeks nothing less than the total annihilation of all piracy regardless of the level of criminality possessed by his victims. Scourging the seas for years in which he ambushed and slaughtered thousands of unsuspecting pirates and killed even the wounded, surrendering survivors with relish, Salazar was condemned to a life of haunting the Devil's Triangle after his death at the hands of Jack Sparrow. Taking his first opportunity to escape, Salazar massacres vessels across the ocean before forcing Barbossa to ally with him after sadistically killing most of the man's crew. Ultimately possessing Henry Turner to use as a Human Shield, Salazar tries to torturously kill Jack with the Trident of Poseidon and bring about a new wave of decimation to the seas. Despite claiming to be avenging his dead father in his hunt for pirates, supplementary material reveals that Salazar's own deluded ego drove him to kill his father simply for accepting bribes from pirates.

* Although this is better for Literature, the adaptation of this book, Holes by Louis Sachar, was made by Disney. And it has a couple monsters, but the best example is Trout Walker. He is the grandfather of the film's Big Bad. First he has a crush on a woman; it looks like he is a good guy. But when he notices her kissing a black man, what does he do? He tells this to the whole town, and first burns the whole school building, then he kills the black man and his donkey, Mary Lou. Later, after thirteen years, when he lost his fortune due to the fact that the lake dried up, and the woman he had a crush on came back, he asked her where she buried the treasure and he tried to torture her in a most painful way in order to find out. When the woman got bitten by a yellow-spotted lizard however, the only thing he could do was to dig. And he forced his granddaughter to dig with him, he was very abusive and he forced her to work even ON CHRISTMAS! That being said, it makes even the Warden, who is said granddaughter of Trout Walker, and also horrific in her own right, someone to be pitied and felt sorry for.

* The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: Jadis the White Witch appears again as a literary one. A devilish tyrant and sorceress with icy powers, she plunges the entire land of Narnia into a hundred year (potentially eternal) winter and rules with an iron fist, having anyone who dares to stand up to her killed or worse turned to stone. She manipulates Edmund Pevensie into turning against him siblings by playing off of his insecurities and offering him rewards, but begins to abuse him horribly as soon as he comes back to her. One of the worst crimes this woman carries out is torturing, humiliating and killing Aslan, and shortly after that she orders her forces to wipe out his whole army who stand in her way of conquering Narnia for good. In the final battle, the White Witch nearly kills Edmund and is about to skewer Peter before a revived Aslan comes to finish her off. However, the movies seem to be giving her a much greater presence post-mortem.

* Nizam from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the Evil Uncle of Dastan, chafed at being in the shadow of his elder brother, the King. To remove himself from under the King's shadow, Nizam set his sights on the Dagger of Time and the Sands of Time, not caring of the horrors and chaos he could unleash on the world. Nizam brought about a battle with an innocent city, not remotely caring of the deaths of innocents, and arranged the death of his own brother while attempting to have his sons murdered. Revealing an utter contempt for the adopted low-born Dastan, Nizam revealed his true goal was to rewind time so he could undo his greatest error: once saving his brother's life when they were children. He's willing to wipe the only kind action he's ever done from history. That's a whole new level of wrong.

* The Lone Ranger (2013 film):

** Cannibalistic psychopath Butch Cavendish is one of the darkest villains to ever appear in a Disney film. After gunning down Reid's brother, Butch cuts out his heart and eats it. He uses fear to oppress any hint of rebellion and will kill at any hint of complaint. At one point, he even kills a laborer for nothing more than saying the entrance of a cave he wanted entry to was blocked. Butch conspires to start a war with, and wipe out the Comanche people for the silver in the mines by leading attacks on innocent people in settlements, framing the Comanche. In the past, Comanche saved Butch's life and he repaid them by slaughtering them, earning Tonto's undying hatred.

** Railroad Tycoon Latham Cole is the brother to the abovementioned Butch Cavendish and despite their mutual loathing, enables much of Cavendish's evil. Having massacred Tonto's people in the past, Cole seeks to build a future of wealth and status by having Butch's men slaughter settlements dressed as Comanche to provoke a massacre of the natives. Cole orders the slaughter of the Comanche warriors, harvesting the silver from the rivers to build his empire, boasting that soon, nobody will know the Comanche existed.

* In this Disney Channel original movie Jumping Ship, Frakes is an Australian pirate whose modus operandi involves kidnapping the rich and extorting them for money. Once he's satisfied, Frakes and his gang gleefully murder their victims as opposed to letting them go and feed their bodies to sharks. Frakes is intent on repeating this process to Michael and young Tommy after finding their wallet, stranding them on an island and bartering with Tommy's life to goad Michael into doing his bidding. Once Michael tries to trick Frakes into letting Tommy go for gold that doesn't really exist, Frakes simply draws his gun on them and tries to have them lead him there. In the climax, Frakes abandons one of his crewmates to die in a hole after she breaks her leg, and chases after the protagonists himself, fully intent on simply shooting Michael dead in a show of spectacular rage. Frakes is completely uncaring that one of his victims is a child, displaying callousness and ruthlessly sociopathic behavior, treating the whole affair as a "project." Cruel and greedy, Frakes was as close to a Serial Killer as a live-action Disney movie could get.

====Live-Action Remakes====

* While merely a demented Jerkass in the original animated version, the 1996 live action adaptation of 101 Dalmatians turns Cruella De Vil into an example of this trope. A fashion designer and head of her own fashion business that Anita is employed at, Cruella is actually behind a number of illegal poaching operations and uses her business as a cover. She hires lackeys to abduct animals from other people's properties and bring the animal to a skinner who kills them and skins their fur hides off for Cruella to use to make outfits that she could profit off of. We see this demonstrated with a rare Siberian Tiger that Cruella had Horace and Jasper steal from a zoo, an abduction that makes headline news, showing how little qualms she has with greatly inconveniencing humans and animals alike. And then she, of course, tries to do the same with 99 dalmatian puppies. What motivates her? Immense greed, selfish love of fur fashion, and a very clear contempt for animals in general. With no excuse, no redeeming features, no regrets for her actions, and earning the fear, disgust, and hatred of everyone (to the point of Roger designing the villain of his video game after her in the end), Cruella in this version was certainly worthy of being called a monster.

** She's still as vile as ever in the sequel, 102 Dalmations. Here she'd undergone special therapy that made her forget her old ways and become a better person and model citizen to society. But Chloe, the female lead who used to work with her, believes that it won't last because some people, particularly those capable of doing the things Cruella did, are just incapable of truly changing. She turns out to be right when Cruella's true nature comes back due to a Villainous Breakdown. She proceeds to frame Kevin for attempted dognapping, manipulate Chloe into letting her guard down by "befriending" her at a dinner invitation while her minions go after the puppies she's after, tries to have said puppies killed at a skinning factory so that she can finally make a dalmatian fur coat, and locks both Kevin and Holly up in a cellar to rot when they intervene. Oh, and she deals out a lot of abuse to her main employee, Alonzo, to the point of a Heel Face Turn by him. Further proof that this woman is rotten to the core.

* In Aladdin (2019), Grand Vizier Jafar gets a villainous upgrade from his animated incarnation. Seeking the magic lamp in the Cave of Wonders to become the Sultan of Agrabah, he sends an unsuspecting prisoner he believes to be the "diamond in the rough" into the cave only for him to be rejected and summarily crushed. After lining up two other prisoners to try and risk the same thing happening again, Jafar becomes enraged at a guard who questions him and pushes him down a well. He also attempts to hypnotize the Sultan into starting a war with Shirabad, an ally country and the late Queen's homeland. After convincing the street thief Aladdin to get the lamp for him, Jafar attempts to betray Aladdin and force him to fall into the cave's lava and later Jafar personally tries to drown Aladdin when he becomes Prince Ali. Once he possesses Genie and becomes Sultan and then a sorcerer, Jafar slow tortures and nearly kills Sultan and Dalia the handmaiden to force Princess Jasmine to marry him and then attacks the city with both a giant Iago the parrot and a twister in order to retrieve the lamp when Aladdin and Jasmine steal it. Jafar's bottomless greed drives him to want to start multiple wars in order to control everything and as a genie, he even seeks to destroy Shirabad, and spitefully drags Iago into his lamp with him when imprisoned in it.

* Scar in the 2019 remake of The Lion King is even worse than his original counterpart. He lacks his more humorous, charismatic, and cowardly nature in exchange for being a chilling and threatening sociopath not played at all for laughs. Rather than simply just letting Mufasa fall to his death, he smacks him across the face out of spite and acts more poisonous towards Simba when he convinces him that his father's demise was his fault. Scar reveals he also attempted to woo Sarabi years earlier but she chose Mufasa instead, and tries to woo her again with the promise of food, and when she refuses, decrees that the hyenas eat first so the lions will starve. When Scar has Simba dangling off Pride Rock, Scar mocks him by how he could see the fear in Mufasa's eyes when he killed him. Even after Simba chases him up the top of the Pride and is caught off guard by him, Scar can only angrily scream that it is his birthright to be king like a spoiled brat during the final battle, and even tries to tries to drag Simba down with him into the fire upon being defeated. When cornered by the hyenas for his actions, he tries to kill them all.

** It should be noted that Scar actually kept his promise to the hyenas that they would get unlimited food because after Sarabi refused to follow him, he declared that the hyenas would be able to hunt first and not leave food for the lions. However, during the climax, Scar tries to save his own skin by blaming the incident in Pride Rock on the entire hyena clan, and reveals that he was going to kill them anyway to protect his reign over the Pride Lands. After Scar is defeated, he tries to manipulate the hyenas into becoming an army by claiming that he was only trying to fool Simba when he blamed the hyenas and said he was going to kill them, but Shenzi tells Scar that the only thing he ever said that was true was that a hyena's belly is never full. This proves that keeping his word was never a true redeeming quality to begin with since it was only a form of manipulation, and he only cared about himself. Plus, when taking into consideration that Scar tried to kill the hyenas instead of accepting his fate, it means that Scar had not been trying to fool Simba - he'd really kill his followers if it meant saving himself. It all shows what he truly thought of them: as disposable tools to help him claim the throne.

*Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019): Queen Ingrith is Prince Phillip's secretly power-hungry mother who despises her husband as a fool for wanting peace between his kingdom and The Fair Folk. It's revealed she spread the fable of Maleficent being an evil sorceress, later framing her for cursing King John into a death-like sleep and the deaths of two of her poachers; in the process, she tries to ruin Aurora's bond with Maleficent. Ingrith has her poachers kidnap fae from the Moors and perform experiments to find a way to kill them, experimenting with red iron dust to kill a helpless sprite; her assistant in these experiments is a pixie whose wings she cut off. She lures the Moors into a church where she has red iron dust unleashed, killing dozens of them, while she oversees the massacre of the Dark Fae in the ensuing battle. When Ingrith tells Aurora a story of how she lost her brother and was exiled from her kingdom due to the fae, Aurora doesn't believe her and calls out her lies, with Ingrith admitting she's a fear-mongering tyrant. Ingrith seemingly kills Maleficent while her and Aurora's guard is down, and pushes Aurora off a tower as a diversion when Maleficent rises from the ashes during an escape attempt.

Just before the Final Boss fight, Thorn devours the soul gems along with 999 souls, stating that with his new powers there will no longer be a land of the living or an afterlife, just "death, death, and more death."

* In Pirates of the Caribbean Online, Jolly Roger was once a friend of Jack Sparrow, until he became envious of Jack's status as the next Pirate Lord of the Caribbean, and tried to kill him. Cursed to become an undead being by a vengeful witch doctor, Roger attacks towns, intending to slaughter the inhabitants and resurrect them to serve in his undead army to help him conquer the Caribbean and kill Jack. When Roger finds the protagonist with a man who had betrayed Roger, Roger kills the man after he tries to pay Roger to spare him, only allowing the protagonist to live so they can deliver a message from Roger to Jack.

* In Bolt: The Video Game, Dr. Calico AKA "the Green-Eyed Man" is a maniacal terrorist with goals to dominate the world through technology and nuclear superiority. Kidnapping Penny's scientist father to force him into servitude, Calico tries to take Penny herself hostage to further his compliance before simply trying to kill the girl and her superpowered dog Bolt for being nuisances. When his Kill Sat weapon is completed, Calico plans to annihilate every nuclear weapon in the world except his own so he will have ultimate power, but not before he hopes to test his new weapon by destroying Penny's hometown then eliminating her father. Even when beaten, Calico enables his escape by launching his entire nuclear arsenal at random targets to distract Bolt, uncaring of the lives that will be lost if they strike.

* In Disney Infinity version 3.0, Emperor Palpatine appears as the Big Bad of the "Rise Against the Empire" play set. As in the original Star Wars trilogy, he rules the Galactic Empire with an iron fist and is prone to striking down all who oppose him. When he finds out about Luke Skywalker following the destruction of the first Death Star, Palpatine sends Darth Vader to have him turned to the dark side. During the final battle on the second Death Star, Palpatine offers Luke to join him in Vader's place after the latter's defeat. When Luke refuses, Palpatine blasts him with Sith Lightning and prevents Han, Leia and Chewbacca from helping him by force pushing them away so that they'll be Forced to Watch, and would have gleefully tortured Luke to death if not for Vader's redemption. Being just as vile and sadistic as he was in source material, Palpatine sticks out like a sore thumb in such a bright and cheery game, and is the only villain who was not mitigated or subject to any Villain Decay like Syndrome and Ronan the Accuser were.

* The Legend of the Chaos God: In this Disney Adventures ongoing story, Solego, the titular "Chaos God", earned his epithet by conquering entire cities with his dark magic in ancient times, growing drunk on his magic and obliterating everyone who opposed him, once eradicating an entire civilization. Solego returns in the modern day attempting to break out of his seal by rampantly possessing and trying to murder everyone he comes across, his nastiest attempt ensuing when he takes over Rebecca Cunningham and tries to force her to throw her own daughter off the side of a plane. When he finally breaks out of his seal, Solego immediately attempts to destroy St. Canard, entertaining Darkwing Duck's attempt to defeat him before growing bored and vowing to him "you shall die a sheep like all the sheep called men — and I shall be the only wolf among you!"

* Seekers of the Wind:

** The Reaper King is an ancient eldritch horror and the strongest reaper in existence, a being dedicated only to enshrouding the Earth in shadow and killing all that lives. Previously rampaging across the Earth and causing The Black Death in the process, killing a third of Europe's population, the Reaper King has Despoina and her servants dedicate centuries of their time to freeing him— only to spitefully strip them all of their immortality and condemn them to die with the rest of the world once he's free.

** Despoina is a vile, immortal sorceress who serves as the Dark Mistress and head servant of the Reaper King. Forming the Society of Shadows to worship the Reaper King, Despoina dedicates herself to freeing him and allowing him to desolate the entire planet so she and the Society can rule over the remainder. Motivating the two children destined to open the Coffin Clock the Reaper King in sealed in by kidnapping their parents and threatening to murder them, Despoina has their uncle Roland supposedly play both them and the Wardens, before opting to have his spine torn out in response to his betrayal. A sadist by nature, Despoina even allows the Wardens to briefly take the Coffin Clock solely so she can crush their hope later and have the Reaper King wipe them all out.

* Big Thunder Mountain Railroad: George Willikers seems at first to just be a slimy bully wanting a quick buck, but is slowly revealed to be a heartless sociopath caring for nothing but his own greed. Serving as the second-in-command to Mr. Bullion, Willikers uses his position to abuse the small mining town he lords over, instituting a curfew and threatening lashing with his bullwhip for any who cross him. As head of the mining operation in the mountain Big Thunder, Willikers overworks, abuses, and regularly endangers the lives of the miners, completely uncaring of their well-being as long as they supply him with the goods. In the end, Willikers's truly monstrous personality is revealed, as he holds the miners at gunpoint to force them into highly lethal caverns to mine, and ultimately attempts to leave the dozens of miners, several heroic bandits trying to stop Willikers, and Bullion himself to die in the mountain as it collapses, throwing their lives away as long as he can get away with the mined gold and rebuild the mining town in his glory.

* The Haunted Mansion: The Captain is a ghostly pirate who once plundered and pillaged all he saw fit across the Earth. Once dying inside the titular Haunted Mansion and being cursed to haunt it for all eternity, the Captain, determined to escape, places a curse upon the Mansion that traps any who die inside, or any ghosts who visit it, to be trapped alongside him, never able to rest in peace or escape. Having trapped nearly one thousand ghosts inside, the Captain later uses the young Danny Crowe to assist him in escaping, and, once free, promises to slaughter all in his path and become the scourge of the world once more, starting by killing Danny then cursing the Mansion once more to trap him and all nearby ghosts inside for all eternity.

* Kilala Princess: Valdou is the leader of a race of mechanical humanoids who sees humans as naturally inferior, and leads a coup in the magical land of Paradiso. His ultimate plan is to create a land without any emotions where only machines rule; thousands of human dissenters are captured, brainwashed, or killed in concentration camps. During his search for the Seventh Princess and the magical tiara, he brainwashes Kilala's friend Erica to retrieve the tiara, then orders his men to shoot her in the head. After dropping his friendly pretense, Valdou shoots Kilala as she reunites with Rei, then captures the prince and plans to torture him into being thoroughly brainwashed, trying to kill Kilala several times. When he uses Princess Sylphy as a mole, Valdou plans to brainwash her too, and threatens Princess Jasmine's life in the world of Aladdin. His final, most despicable act of cruelty is to set a village on fire, endangering children orphaned under his rule, and mocking Rei over Kilala's apparent death in the blaze.

* Kingdom Hearts manga adaptation:

** Ansem Seeker of Darkness, the Heartless form of Xehanort, is even more malicious in the manga adaptation than in the original games. The true mastermind behind the Heartless' invasion of several worlds and Maleficent's Evil Plan to capture the Seven Princesses of Heart in order to open the Final Keyhole to Darkness, Ansem Mind Rapes Riku so that he can overtake his heart and possess his body at the climax of the first arc. He stabs Maleficent with a Keyblade created from six of the Princesses hearts in order to destroy her once she's no longer of use to him and then deceives Sora into using that same Keyblade to make what would ultimately be a Senseless Sacrifice, turning Sora into a Heartless and unsealing the Final Keyhole. When Riku's heart fight back from within to stop him from attempting to kill Kairi, Ansem uses his power to banish Riku's heart into the Dark Realm. Ansem then attempts to open the Door to Darkness so that he and his Heartless forces can consume the Heart of All Worlds that lies beyond it, which would plunge all of existence into everlasting darkness, expressing nothing but relish at this prospect. Even after he's been vanquished, a specter of Ansem's darkness lives on in Riku's heart and attempts to play the boy's own emotions against him so that he may be strengthened enough to again take Riku's body and regain a physical existence, even using his shadowy familiar to brutally strangle Riku in order to immerse him in total darkness, vicious to the end. Showcasing no redeeming features and played dead seriously against the manga's usual lighthearted and silly tone, Xehanort's Heartless would do whatever it took to gain ultimate knowledge and power, and to sate his undying hunger for darkness.

** Xemnas, the Nobody form of Xehanort and leader of Organization XIII, is depicted as a cruel sociopath who rules over his organization without care for any of it's members, viewing his followers as weaklings who are only fit to serve his purposes. Looking to exploit the Keyblade's power to claim hearts for making Kingdom Hearts so that he may purge all hearts and then from nothing remake them all into ones enslaved by his power, he allows Sora's Nobody Roxas and Xion, a faulty Sora replica, to grow close intending to then pit them against each other so that he could judge which Keybearer would be more useful to his plans, even tampering with Xion's form, Mind Raping her and sending her to her death. When Axel is sent to look for the runaway Roxas, Xemnas threatens to eliminate him if he doesn't bring Roxas back dead or alive. He later attacks the Radiant Garden with hordes of Heartless, almost getting Goofy critically injured in the process, just so that Sora and King Mickey can slay them all and give him enough hearts with which to complete his Kingdom Hearts. When Ansem the Wise and Mickey try to stop his plans at his castle, Xemnas orders his Nobodies to kill them, and proceeds to overtake the Great Heart from within in an attempt to reduce all of existence to a state of nothingness and destroy all those in his way. Cold-blooded, pitiless, and utterly lacking his game counterpart's Tragic Villain qualities, Xemnas continuously shows himself to be more monstrous than any other Nobody solely because he finds it in his best interest to be so.

* Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom by A. C. Crispin: Ian Mercer, the stoically sadistic right-hand man of Lord Cutler Beckett, directly aids his employer in a scheme of mass murder and slavery.

After her original plan to curse Aurora when she was a baby to die on the day of her 16th birthday fails, Maleficent, struck dead by Prince Phillip, uses the last of her power to trap the minds of Aurora and the entire kingdom in a dream world until Maleficent can gain control of Aurora's body. Rejuvenating herself by brutally murdering people in the dream world—which kills them in the real world—and using their blood in rituals, Maleficent eventually drops the façade of the dream world, indulging in full-on slaughter of dozens of people for both their life forces as well as just for fun.

In his asylum, D'Aarque subjects the charmantes to hideous experimentation for years on end to "torture the magic out of them", implementing 11th-Century tactics for Cold-Blooded Torture  in his research and cheerfully apathetic to the number of charmantes who die either from torture or suicide. D'Arque is willing to use his scientific technique to endorse the king and queen's intended Final Solution across France, and although he claims he would never harm a human, D'Arque is so lost in his own hatred he murders his best friend Alaric and unhesitatingly tries to do the same to his other old friend Maurice.

* The Phantom in Phantom Manor - he kills Melanie's groom by hanging him in the Stretching Room, condemns the Bride to haunt the mansion forever and now he taunts the guests (that's us) with his sadistic tricks and dark humor. He is even worse in the 2019 refurbishment, where he is confirmed to be Henry Ravenswood. He is the founder of Thunder Mesa and the one behind the evils of Ravenswood Manor. In life, Henry murdered the suitors of his daughter Melanie to keep her from leaving him. After he died in an earthquake, Henry returned as the Phantom, secretly hanging Melanie's fiancé on her wedding day, causing her to wait for him to return for the rest of her life and afterlife.

* The updated main ride features Constance Hatchaway. In life, Constance was a beautiful woman who every man would want to have as his wife. Sadly, no man has ever experienced that and lived to tell the tale, as she would always decapitate her many husbands with her hatchet after marrying them, earning her the name as "The Black Widow Bride". And she has had countless victims that include bankers, diplomats, successful farmers, barons and any other rich man that she met. Why did she do all this you ask? Pure Greed! And when her latest victim, George Hightower, whom was the owner of the mansion when he was alive, discovered her killing spree before the marriage, Constance killed him, leaving her hatchet in his head, before spending the rest of her life in her newly acquired mansion. Keep in mind, that this is only in her backstory, and already she's established as a deranged Serial Killer with a frightening body count who's only motivated by sheer greed.

Now it doesn't matter what wealth, age, or gender her victim is, she will want to kill the park guests (again, that's us) just for being alive.
