Somehow, the villain's physical body is made up of a tangible form of Evil. If you cut them, they will "[[Alien Blood|bleed]]" Evil, and severed limbs or cuts to the torso won't reveal skin, muscle, bone and organs but a uniform [[Dark Is Evil|dark material]]. These [[Villain|villainsvillain]]s are, unsurprisingly, [[Not Even Human|not human; or at least, not anymore.]] They may be an [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of Evil, a [[God of Evil]] that is made up of their portfolio rather than be an organic/'divine' being in control of it, a [[Pure Energy|Pure]] [[Energy Beings|Energy Being]] made of [[The Dark Side]], or the [[Ultimate Evil]]. Normal humans [[Evil Makes You Monstrous|can become Made Of Evil]] if they [[Level Grinding|spend years]] being ''[[For the Evulz|really]]'' evil and get dosed with [[Phlebotinum]]. An everyday good person may have the darkness in their heart forcibly ejected to make [[The Heartless]], or an [[Enemy Without]]. Commonly, they are [[Emotion Eater|Emotion Eaters]]s who feed on negative emotions, perhaps even being a [[God of Evil]] who [[Gods Need Prayer Badly|runs off of / is the source of]] these negative emotions.

When we say [[Department of Redundancy Department|"Evil"]], we don't just mean "Made of [[The Caligula|immorality"]], but just about [[Evil Tropes|any not-nice]] emotion, concept, and [[Elemental Powers]], such as: Darkness, Death, Decay, Hate, Sin, and Unholiness. This makes them very similar to physical ghosts; they form a kind of "negative energy" Ectoplasm (of evil) that is nonetheless completely tangible and is completely, indivisibly evil to its smallest fermion (of evil). Unlike physical ghosts, this "evil" tends to remain tangible [[No Ontological Inertia|until]] (and sometimes after) the Made Of Evil being is killed. Understandably, because [[Good Hurts Evil]], expect them to be ''highly'' vulnerable to [[Depleted Phlebotinum Shells]], scream "It Burns!" and suffer [[Glamour Failure]] in the face of [[Holy Burns Evil|holy relics]], and at times have a [[Weaksauce Weakness]] to [[The Power of Love]] and [[The Power of Friendship]]... unless they are ''so'' evil they create a [[Cross -Melting Aura]], of course.

When killed, they usually "decompose" into a black, oily substance (of evil) or thick black smoke (of evil) before [[Everything Fades|fading away]]. If they were a [[Walking Wasteland]] (of evil), expect there to be [[No Ontological Inertia]] as [[Fertile Feet|flowers spring]] and the world lights up at their death. That said, killing them is often easier said than done, since they're the Evil equivalent of Jello, they don't have any vital organs (of evil) to hit, and can sometimes even regenerate [[From a Single Cell]] [[Running Gag|(of evil)]]. Characters are strongly advised that [[Body to Jewel|even the ashes]] of [[Evil Is Not a Toy|Evil are not a toy]], because touching, eating, drinking, or wearing anything [[Insubstantial Ingredients|made from]] ''pure evil'' will not end well. May be an example of [[As Long Asas There Is Evil]].

* The mazoku in ''[[Slayers]]'' are beings of pure chaos that, as in the trope, feed on negative emotion, power black magic, and want to see the world returned to the Sea of Chaos. [[Tabletop RPG|Fantasy RPGs]] like [[Dungeons and& Dragons]] are an admitted influence on the setting, so it's possible they draw inspiration from that game's demons, etc.

* Janemba from ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]]'' is made out of all the evil that was sucked out of the residents of Hell in order to purify their souls.

* Sephiroth in ''[[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children]]''. When he appears at the end of the movie, he is literally MADE of Jenova cells. He even bleeds it when cut. And when Cloud defeats him the excess Jenova cells making him up discorporate, leaving a beaten Kadaj behind.

* ''[[Time Bandits]]'' by [[Terry Gilliam (Creator)|Terry Gilliam]] has [[Big Bad|Evil]] as the main antagonist. Once {{spoiler|destroyed, a single piece/rock of him is overlooked in the cleanup, when Kevin's parents}} pick it up (after he warns them not to) they get vaporized.

* In the 1980s ''[[Flash Gordon (Filmfilm)|Flash Gordon]]'' movie, the [[Evil Minions|henchwoman]] General Kala's corpse ''visibly deflates'' and smokes as it turns into an oil spill.

** Her superior [[The Dragon|Klytus]] likewise melted after being [[Impaled Withwith Extreme Prejudice]]

* ''[[The Neverending Story (Filmfilm)|The Neverending Story]]'': The Nothing is made up of children's losing of imagination and [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe|unwillingness to believe]] in [[Fairy Tales]] (at least in the film version).

* ''[[Halloween (Filmfilm)|Halloween]]'s'' Dr Loomis believes Michael Myers is this. It would explain his ability to come back from each increasingly over-the-top death.

{{quote| "I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong ... I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil."}}

* The [[Big Bad|Big Bads]]s in ''[[The Death Gate Cycle]]'' by [[Margaret Weis]] and Tracy Hickman were living avatars of evil who grew stronger in the presence of despair, rage and so forth. "I grow fat on your fear" isn't just a metaphor with them.

{{quote| Andrew Wells: This whole thing... is being orchestrated by something called "The First." It's made up of all the evil in the whole world.}}

* The Warp in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000|Warhammer 40K]]'' is made of all the emotions in the galaxy good and bad, but there's more bad than good. The Chaos gods have "good" traits that have been warped and amplified so much that to human sensibilities they become evil. For instance, Nurgle is a [[Friend to All Living Things]]-- heavy—heavy emphasis on the ALL; Papa Nurgle loves his cute little parasites and pathogens, yes he does!

== Videogames[[Video Games]] ==

* The ''[[Persona]] 2'' version of Nyarlathotep is an [[Eldritch Abomination]] literally born of Humanity's collective evil, absorbing every evil ("evil" defined as "with the intent of causing any form of harm to anyone, even yourself") act, thought and desire. [[As Long Asas There Is Evil]], he is an undefeatable mass of concentrated madness, woe, and discord, eternally hungering for more power.

* The [[Elemental Embodiment|elementals]] in ''MARDEK RPG: Chapter 3'' include a Dark version. Due to the [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]], these are actually the ''least'' powerful elementals you encounter. The bestiary says that they don't ''attack'' so much as ''[[Non-Malicious Monster|leak energy when disrupted]]'', and that if they sit around too long they may [[Body to Jewel|crystallize]] and become [[Silicon -Based Life|Onyxes]].

* In ''[[MOTHER]]'', Giygas was an alien with psychic powers and a particularly sharp hatred of humanity. By the time ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]'' rolls around though, his hatred and power has grown to such a degree that it literally destroys his physical body and turns him into a floating, indistinct entity of ''pure evil''.

* ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' gives us X-Death/Exdeath/Exodus/[[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|whatever they're calling him this week]]. He's what happens when one demon too many is [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|sealed]] within [[When Trees Attack|a tree]] and said tree somehow transforms into an ambulatory would-be world conqueror.

* Dark Chips and Nebula Gray from [[MegamanMega Man Battle Network]] are made entirely of negative emotions somehow encoded as data.

* The Dark Star and Dark Bowser in [[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story (Video Game)|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]].

* M. Bison from ''[[Street Fighter]]'' himself isn't really [[Made of Evil]] but the power he uses (Psycho Power) is described as being pure negativity as energy. Negative thoughts, emotions, and general hatred manifests itself as this force.

* The protagonist of ''[[Prototype (Videovideo Gamegame)|Prototype]]'' is composed entirely of biomass infused with the Blacklight virus. It's the main reason he can take so much punishment: he has no bones to break or organs to rupture. Taken even further when it's revealed that {{spoiler|he ''is'' the Blacklight virus.}}

== [[Web OriginalsOriginal]] ==

* ''[[TV Tropes]] itself'' can be considered to be [[Made of Evil]]. [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|It ruins your life]], and it draws you into its legion of tropers. Every single electron that makes up the data in [[TV Tropes]] is a sacrifice of some poor guys' time. [[As Long Asas There Is Evil|And theoretically, it will never stop growing unless people stop making works of fiction]].

{{quote| I ''am'' that power. I ''am'' Destruction. And I ''will'' destroy you.}}

{{quote| Calculon: Anyway, only after bringing Project Satan to life did they discover they had made a horrible mistake. For you see, it was pure evil!}}

*:* Parodied. He had the windscreen wipers of... <s>[[I Am Not Shazam|Knight Rider]]</s> KITT! Or rather, [[I Am Not Shazam|"That car that played]] [[Knight Rider]]", who wasn't evil himself, though his windshield wipers were. It just didn't come up much in the show.

* ''[[Fern Gully]]'' has Hexxus, the semi-incorporeal [[Elemental Embodiment|manifestation]] of destruction and pollution, that has to be [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|sealed in a tree]] to be contained.

* In ''[[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Teen Titans]]'' the demon Trigon the Terrible is referred to as the "incarnation of evil" and "source of all darkness."

* In ''[[Star Wars: theThe Clone Wars]]'', the Son is the Dark Side incarnate.

* [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] has second season antagonist [[Manipulative Bastard|Discord]]. He seems to be the embodiment of strife between ponies ([[Meaningful Name|duh]]), and he has quite the ability to [[The Corrupter|engender it]]. Eventually proved untrue after he is redeemed by [[The Power of Friendship]] (naturally) but it is still clear that he is Made of Chaos.
