Line 57:
* The first villain in ''[[The Owl House]]'' is Warden Wrath, a fiendish creature who captures and locks up folks who he deems "weird". (As in, he thinks social non-conformity is a crime.) Fortunately, he proves easily subdued after Luz frees his prisoners and gives them a much needed pep-talk.
* Parasite in ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]''. His ability to drain a victim of memories, skills, and super-powers is temporary, so he tends to hold them hostage so he can use them to "recharge" periodically. Unfortunately for him, [[Bullying a Dragon|Superman isn't exactly a cooperative prisoner.]]
* Demongo from the ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' episode "Jack versus Demongo the Soul Collector" is a unique example; not only is he a jailer (his victims being enemies of Aku) but ''his body is the jail'', and he can command the imprisoned souls to fight for him. Until, that is, Jack busts them out.
** Castle Captive, who appeared on an episode of ''[[The Smurfs (animation)|The Smurfs]]'', was another villain who was both the Jailer and the jail. A living, intelligent castle, it appeared in the human world once every hundred years, its appearance luring travelers to it, only to trap them inside and after 24 hours, carry them to whatever realm it called home, for... [[Hidden Agenda Villain|well, some reason known only to himself]] but he did seem to be a cruel creature who liked seeing victims suffer. Escaping it was almost impossible, because it could control every part of itself, doors, furniture, even items as small as silverware, and use them against anyone who caused trouble. One prisoner was Nanny Smurf, who was rescued after the Castle appeared a century after being kidnapped.
