Line 26:
* The main antagonists from both ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' continuities fit this trope nicely. Father has the appearance of an imposing old man robed in white, and even though he can be somewhat goofy at times, his evil is hardly a secret. He's behind nearly every tragedy in the entire series.
** {{spoiler|Dante}} from the first anime is arguably a little more faithful to the trope. {{spoiler|When she's first introduced, she seems like a genuinely nice old woman, and Alphonse in particular seems to take a liking to her. After all, an old bonnet-wearing pharmacist couldn't possibly be the leader of the homunculi, right?}}
* In the actual ''[[Ranma One Half½|Ranma 1/2]]'' series, the ([[Miniature Senior Citizens|small]]) [[Old Master]] [[Trickster Mentor|Happosai]] is often described as the ultimate evil. Trying to think of a good deed for Christmas literally made him ''explode'' with pain, and, in the animated version, he was evil enough to made a suddenly [[Not So Harmless]] Evil Oni writhe in pure agony.
* Yubaba from ''[[Spirited Away]]'' is the wicked owner of the bath house, and has the nasty habit of stealing peoples' names once they begin working for her. The fact that she enslaves nature spirits doesn't help her case either.
** Don't forget turning hapless human intruders into pigs or pieces of coal, used for food and fuel respectively.
