Line 6:
Maybe he is a [[Team Killer]]. Perhaps his ruthlessness is horrifying no matter what side you're on. Or maybe his teammates suspect he takes enjoys combat a little too much or in the wrong way. Maybe he just seems creepy. Regardless of the reason, this is a character that is feared, and sometimes reviled, by his own side. Is the enemy of his side scared of him? Not always. Perhaps the enemy has simply never seen this monster in action yet, or at least those that have haven't lived to talk about it, [[Leave No Survivors|including those that surrendered]].
 
In some cases there can be several of these in the same unit (prehapsperhaps the entire unit) who might not scare those not in the unit, thatbut arescare onother members of the same side. (In this case the members can be similar enough that they probably aren't really considered individuals.) Simply scaring one teammateperson on the same side is not sufficient (unless that faction is ''really'' small), this character must at least instill a respectable amount of fear in a sizable part of his own faction. In some cases this trope might be exploited by one of the sides, for example [[Outscare the Enemy]].
 
May be a result of [[Even Evil Has Standards]]. Likely to overlap with [[The Dreaded]].
