Line 8:
[[Discredited Trope|Though not common today]], in older works the default was the Savage Indian, a native of their land who is a [[Exclusively Evil|bloodthirsty man or woman]] who only wishes to kill and hunt trophies for the sake of satiating their [[For the Evulz|unquenchable thirst or desire for heads]]. They are brutal, uncompromising and are [[Dirty Coward|all too willing to let allies take the fall]]. They are most of the time exiled by their tribes for being too violent, but if a foreigner comes in, expect the Savage Indian to reject the outsider first with a weapon up their vital organs. Sometimes they will be the [[Evil Counterpart|rival tribe]]/griyo that the Noble Indians want to see defeated or at least no longer hurting them and the people they are making peace with but couldn't due to unfortunate damage done by them.
This trope has ancient forerunners as practically every culture has identified a more primitive neighbor as
Compare and Contrast [[Magical Native American]] and [[Noble Savage]].

* In ''[[Shaman King]]'', Hao's life 500 years ago is essentially that of a [[Complete Monster]], going so far as to [[A Nazi by Any Other Name|destroy entire cultures]] because they don't want to join him in his quest to rid the world of [[Muggles]]. One of the last survivors of that thinks that Silva and the rest are just like Hao. Which is...really weird in [[The Nineties]].
