Line 10:
* 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.
* They are completely devoid of altruistic qualities, show no regret for their crimes, are never redeemed or have any possibility of redemption.

Please note that a character crossing the [[Moral Event Horizon]] does not alone make them a Complete Monster. This trope isn't just about what the character does, but about what the character is. Their monstrous characters are reflected in their heinous deeds, which is what puts them a cut above the regular villains. And whatever their position, a Complete Monster has to go the full mile and meet all criteria: they are the worst they can possibly be in their role, in the space and scale they occupy.
Line 20 ⟶ 22:
Compare [[Vile Villain, Saccharine Show]], where the villain is noticeably more heinous than the other characters but is not necessarily a Complete Monster.

{{noreallife|calling other people completely irredeemable is rude at best. Calling ''yourself'' one implies either a lack of understanding of the trope or severe mental illness.}}
