Line 9:
** Mannimarco too. His mooks are slow and avoidable, he has no game in melee combat, and if you have a decent weapon, then he can be killed with a dozen or so attacks at the most.
*** He becomes even more of one for a player of Daggerfall, who likely would have expected Mannimarco, the King of Worms to look like the King of Worms (imposing, clad in a red robe covering his face in shadow, eyes glowing brightly). Oblivion's incarnation... is a fairly ordinary-looking Altmer.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Many.
** Countess Alessia Carol, who tortures people for no better reason than [[Fantastic Racism|being of the beast races.]]
** Kurdan gro-Dragol, who uses a brutal loanshark persona as a front for his [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game|murder tournaments]], kills Aleron Loche after you've been trying to save him, then laughs in your face.
** Francois Motierre, who allows his own mother to be killed in order to get the Dark Brotherhood to fake his death for him.
** Mathieu Bellamont, the villain of the Dark Brotherhood quest. The only reasonable argument for him not being this is due to the [[Evil Versus Evil]] nature of the story here – if he did the same things to ''any'' other faction in the game, he would '''definitely'' be a [[Complete Monster]].
** The residents of Hackdirt. With the exception of Jiv Hiriel, they all are creepy, vile and malevolent. <ref>The whole quest is a [[Shout Out]] to ''The Shadow Over Innsmouth''.</ref>
** Your fellow Dark Brothers and Sisters in the Sanctuary may also count; if you actually take time to talk to them at the start of each Dark Brotherhood quest they have some interesting things to say. Most notably, the Orc brags to you about killing a 6 year old girl, and Antoinetta Marie cheerfully tells you about how she murdered her own aunt in cold blood by putting poison in her soup...
*** The protagonist of s\he completes the entire Dark Brotherhood quest chain {{spoiler|(hell, the Night Mother even points this out, claiming you have a soul as black as midnight)}}
**** This is confirmed as canon in [[Skyrim]] when you meet him/her as Sheogoath, who alludes to having been Listener and the Grey Fox.
*** The ''entire'' Dark Brotherhood is made up of Complete Monsters, if you're familiar with the backstory. They are a gleefully murderous cult who know exactly that what they are doing is wrong, but do it anyway to impress their facetious godhead who, given his status as the ''absence'' of being, wouldn't give a damn either way.
** Mannimarco, Tamriel's first lich and greatest necromancer, and leader of the Order of the Blackworm, who murders and tortures countless people, including {{spoiler|all but one of the Bruma mages}}, and reportedly knows a spell that turns people into undead ''[[And I Must Scream|while they're still alive]]''.
** Umaril the Unfeathered, originally a brutal Ayleid tyrant, now a half Ayleid, half Daedra [[Omnicidal Maniac]].
* [[Crazy Awesome]] - Sheogorath is, almost literally, practically the ''embodiment'' of this trope. For example, if you attack him, he executes you by teleporting you hundreds of feet above the Isles, ''just to fall to your death''!
