The Complete Monster can be recognized by these signs:
* The character is truly heinous by the standards of the story, which makes no attempt to present the character in any positive way. The character's terribleness is played seriously, even if the work is light and/or comedic. Other characters in-story must express fear, hate, and haterevulsion of this character.
* The character has either no [[Freudian Excuse]] to validate their crimes, or their [[Freudian Excuse]] is presented in-story as inadequate. Any sympathy evoked in their backstories is long gone in the present time.
* They are completely devoid of altruistic qualities, show no regret for their crimes, are never redeemed or have any possibility of redemption.
