 * Tong Fo - He's an apathetic and sadistic psychopath who is Faux Affably Evil but still very cruel and deranged. Of all the villains on the show, his actions are the vilest and most heinous in whatever scale he decides to operate in, and he commits them for no good reason other than it amuses him. He has no mitigating factors, no remorse for his crimes, and his villainy is taken seriously by others. The one point of contention is that he might have loved his felon grandfather and that could be part of a Freudian Excuse, but the scene where this comes up shows Tong Fo viewing his grandfather as a pedestal or gold standard he feels he has to live up to based purely on rap sheets of crimes. If this doesn't take him towards any redemptive measures and instead makes him a worse criminal, than it's not truly a redeeming feature.


 * Rumpelstiltskin - Unlike Lord Farquaad or Prince Charming, he's a Laughably Evil character whose actual villainy is played seriously, and unlike the Fairy Godmother, he has a large rap sheet of terrible, active crimes and no mitigating factors. Actions such as deceiving people into erasing themselves from existence, becoming a tyrannical despot who imposes an ogre genocide campaign, killing one of his own minions on-screen, enslaving his subjects, exploiting loopholes so that he can kill Fiona and the other ogres even when Shrek asks him not to, and torturing and eventually executing Shrek make him by far the most heinous villain by the standards of this animated comedy series - so much so that he's the only one who gets left alive at the end because killing him would be letting him off easy. He's called at least a borderline case because he might not be seen as a full fledged example (he treats his goose Fifi well enough, though she's more just a commodity and pet for him than an actual friend) but he's as close to being one as it could get in these films. Word of God even states it was deliberate to make him a villain who might make us laugh but we also just really, really hate and want to see stopped at all costs.


 * Gallaxhar - Despite being Laughably Evil, his actions are played completely seriously and he has no redeeming qualities at all, making him sufficiently heinous enough by the film's standards to qualify.
