Line 12:
** Katz. A startlingly straight example for a kid's show: most of the villains are sort of cartoonishly ineffectual, even if they are loaded with [[Nightmare Fuel]], but Katz is a genuine psychopath. "Care for a bit of sport before dying, dear boy?"
** Mad Dog from "The Mask" also counts. He's a violently abusive and possessive gangleader who is hellbent on murdering someone just for being his girlfriend's best friend. When Bunny tries to escape him, he buries her alive as punishment and later attempts to run her down with his car for trying to escape with Courage. Yeah, at one point he "acts" like he cares, but given his other behavior, its easy to see this is just manipulating her emotions in order to keep her under his paw, a common tactic by real life abusers. Like Katz, he's also played startlingly straight with little comedy in his character at all.
** The Great Fusilli initially seems like a charming (if somewhat sinister) traveling magician taking his show on the road, and allows Courage as well as his owners Eustace and Muriel to perform for an imaginary audience. However, his true evil nature is revealed when Courage stumbles upon a back room full of lifeless human puppets. It turns out that Fusilli is a Serial Killer of sorts who uses enchanted strings that turn people into lifeless puppets, effectively killing them so he can play around with their lifeless bodies for his entertainment. As one would expect Courage defeats the villainous magician, but not before Eustace and Muriel have been turned into puppets, leaving Courage to essentially play with their lifeless bodies in order to pretend that they're still alive. Thankfully negative continuity is in effect, but it's still considered to be among the darkest, creepiest, and most downright disturbing episodes in the series for a very good reason.
