Line 8:
* [[Complete Monster]]: Fang of the Dead likes to write these - this especially shows through with his take on Lord Kass, who's best described as "the most evil aspects of [[The Lion King|Scar]], [[Mulan|Shan Yu]], [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney)|Frollo]] and [[Kung Fu Panda 2|Lord Shen]] mixed together."
** The rest of his [[Rogues Gallery]] consists of some [[Original Generation|new villains]] and canon baddies from [[Neopets]], although some of them don't qualify for this trope - we'll just list all of the ones that qualify here for convenience's sake:
*** General Attilus: Basically an expy of [[Mulan|Shan Yu]] and [[Kung Fu Panda|Tai Lung]], this Grey Kougra is a cold, emotionless military commander of a barbarian horde that hates the people of Shenkuu. Also, he's [[Action Girl|Miraja's]] [[Luke, I Am Your Father|father]].
*** [[Tyrannosaurus Rex|Galem Darkhand]]: Another one of his interpretations on a canon [[Neopets]] villain, Galem is [[The Brute]]; he's got a few traits of geniusBruiser, but he's still more about brutality than brains. He's purely motivated by profit, of course.
*** Dr. Sloth: The first [[Big Bad]] on Neo, he plays him as an [[Affably Evil]] [[Magnificent Bastard]] - he's evil, but he's so genteel while doing so! He's a borderline example, if anything.
Line 16:
* [[Cry for The Devil]]: Fang's take on Captain Scarblade and Xandra.
** Captain Scarblade: The pirate who attacked Maraqua is made into a [[Cry for The Devil]] type villain - instead of attacking Maraqua [[For the Evulz]], he's trying to avenge his deceased lover, Merra. She died because the people of Maraqua were too afraid of [[The Fair Folk|The Drenched]] to let him save her. He's aware he's crossed the [[Moral Event Horizon]] and regrets it - he knows he's evil, and hates himself for it.
** Xandra: Although she was an insane [[Knight Templar]], Fang was inspired by his [[True Companions|best friend]] Saeryena to make her a [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]] - she's genuinely insane, but that's because she was abducted by [[The Fair Folk|Drakara]] and raised [[Abusive Parents|horrifically]] to be a [[Tyke Bomb]]. An ongoing theme of any story involving Xandra is [[Loveable Rogue|Sirocco]] trying to [[Defusing the Tykebomb|defuse her]] with [[The Power of Love]]. She doesn't escape being a [[Karma Houdini]] after she's unpetrified - she's placed under house arrest until her psychosis can be cured, but she's showing progress, mainly because she [[Love Redeems|genuinely loves Sirocco]]. DEFINITELY not the borderline [[Complete Monster]] she was on the site.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Hunty and Stal.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Epic Equipment - Please Do Not Use."
