Line 138:
** While canonically the Overlord of the first game was apparently a [[Noble Demon]] who saved the Elves from extinction and kept Rose as his Mistress, his son in the sequel is much more evil, being either an [[Ax Crazy]] butcher or a Dominator who enslaved entire populaces to his whim. Lord Gromgard of Overlord: Dark Legend is portrayed as more an [[Anti-Villain]] who while still an Evil Overlord is a benevolent tyrant [[Villain with Good Publicity|better-liked by his subjects]] more than his [[Jerkass]] siblings.
* Bowser from the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series fits this to a T in almost every game (sometimes even ones where you're just [[Go-Karting with Bowser]]), from ominous castles/lairs, plans for world/universe domination, and infinite hordes of largely incompetent goons.
** Sir Grodus from ''[[Paper Mario: theThe Thousand -Year Door]]'' also fits. He's essentialy what Bowser would be if he weren't [[Played for Laughs]], weren't a moron, and actually [[Kick the Dog|Kicked The Dog]] as opposed to [[Poke the Poodle|Poking The Poodle]].
** Fawful in ''[[Mario and Luigi|Mario & Luigi]]'', who goes on to call himself 'Lord Fawful' in [[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]] and has one overly long ego trip through the game. He plots to [[Take Over the World]], lives in... two hijacked [[Evil Tower of Ominousness|Evil Tower of Ominousnesses]], has hoardes of... goons which have a copy of his face as their head, starts wearing dark clothing as soon as he turns into Dark Fawful and originally had a [[Zero-Percent Approval Rating]] until brainwashing the population.
** [[Paper Mario: theThe Thousand -Year Door]] also has The Shadow Queen, {{spoiler|who gives Grodus a nasty taste of the [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]].}}
* In ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic]] 3'', the Warlocks and Overlords of Nighon fit this trope perfectly.
* Zetta, ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'''s [[Badass]] Freakin' Overlord of the entire Netherworld...until he blew it up. [[Planet of the Apes Ending|Damn you, Zetta! Damn you to]]...oh, wait.
