Line 42:
** The Light of Ruin in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX]]''. The second season's [[Big Bad]] was serving it, and the third season's [[Big Bad]] turned to evil because of it.
** The King of the Underworld in the Dark Signers arc of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh 5 Ds]]'', being the force behind the Earthbound Gods and the reason that the Dark Signers can make a [[Deal With the Devil]] and return [[Back From the Dead]]. This one may not qualify, though, as there's no indication it's even sentient and {{spoiler|it, along with its [[Good Counterpart]] the Crimson Dragon, is being played like a violin by the straight [[Big Bad]], Rex Godwin}}.
* In much the same way that [[Adolf Hitler]] will be this by default in almost any story set during WWII, [[Big Screwed-Up Family|the]] [[The Family That Slays Together|Zabi]] [[Royally Screwed
Line 87:
* Azathoth in the whole of [[Cthulhu Mythos]], the mad demon-sultan who sort of rules all cosmos or something but never does anything except listens to music. Most of the other powerful [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] (Cthulhu, Shub-Niggurath, Yog-Sothoth...) also take a very distant role in most of Lovecraft's stories, a notable exception being "The Call of Cthulhu". Nyarlathotep is a bit more hands-on, and August Derleth's Mythos stories frequently feature the likes of Cthulhu and even Yog-Sothoth about to personally emerge everywhere before being halted by a [[Deus Ex Machina]] or [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|explosives]].However his power is only surpassed by Yog Sothoth.
** Azathoth is not only the Bigger Bad, but is the one ''who created the universe'' and is so far beyond human conception he exists without a mind and something that might not even be a real body, but some kind unspeakable living black hole; a proper description is never given, all we know is that Azathoth is a formless blight that bubbles and blasphemes at the centre of creation - and that's from a [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?|Dreamland]] story. A literal manifestation of perfect amoral chaos who creates and destroys. Is being kept asleep by the Ultimate Gods with 'pipes and drums' so he doesn't ''eat the universe.''Also Yog Sothoth would also count as a Bigger bad.
* The Crimson King was presented as the central evil in [[Stephen King]]'s metaverse; however, in an example of [[The Devil Is a Loser]], when he's finally confronted in the [[Grand Finale]] of the [[Dark Tower]] series he's revealed to be nothing more than an insane old man armed with nothing except [[Harry Potter (Literature)|suspiciously]] [[Shout
* [[The Riftwar Cycle|Nalar]], Raymond E. Feist's God of Evil, is slowly revealed to fill this role, and being imprisoned in another dimension, can do little more than be the influence for the various Big Bads in his books. Leso Varen, his minion, fills this role as well (making Nalar an Even Bigger Bad).
* In ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians (Literature)|Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'' Kronos is the [[Big Bad]]. But in its [[Sequel Series]] ''[[The Heroes of Olympus (Literature)|The Heroes of Olympus]]'' Kronos' mother starts to awake call her last children, the giants, to [[Disproportionate Retribution|kill her grandchildren]] for hurting her evil baby boy. [[Sarcasm Mode|Gee what a nice lady]].
