* The Dalek Inquisitor General from ''[[A Hero (fan work)|A Hero]]'' is this. It is implied that Daleks are more terrified of him than they are of ''[[Doctor Who|The Doctor]]''. |

* All Keepers from ''[[Dungeon Keeper Ami]]'' in spades, being set in the ''[[Dungeon Keeper]]''-verse and all. [[Hero with Bad Publicity|Ami]], former [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Mercury]] turned Keeper through unusual circumstances, subverts this by being herself, but has to occasionally put up appearances lest any of her harder minions get funny ideas. |

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series]]'': "I am Marik Ishtar, I like to take control of people's minds and dress in highly effeminate clothing. Also I have an irrational hatred for Gummi Bears. I'm pretty much the worst boss ever." |

* In the ''[[Disgaea]]'' fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6984913/1/Disgaea_Jewel_of_the_gods Disgaea: Jewel of the gods]'' Laharl hacked the game into making Adell, and Mao his vassals. And, as one would expect, he's not nice to them. |

* Brute High-Chieftain Torikus of ''[[Enemy of My Enemy (Fanfic)|Enemy of My Enemy]]'', what with casually (and ''brutally'') killing those who [[You Have Failed Me...|fail him]] or even [[Shoot the Messenger|bring him bad news from the front]]. Note that it's been established in canon ''[[Halo]]'' works that most Brutes are like this. |

* [[Exclusively Evil|Nagas]] {{spoiler|and later Tensombrek}} in the ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' fanfic ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20190710172018/https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3485389/1 Tasks of Spirit]''. Oh MAN they are bad. It is impressive. Though to be fair, the latter does not kill useful minions. Just everyone else. And the innocents. |

* Hilariously Lampshaded in ''Arithmancy'', a ''[[Doctor Who]]''/''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' crossover - the Master, while possessing (for want of a better word) Draco, has most of the nasty bits of his original personality gone, due to his original body being long dead. But in a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] about Voldemort, he says this sort of behaviour was not the way to reward loyal minions. Since he is possibly one of the most successful villains in fiction, you could say he has a point. |
