Line 37:
* [[Evil Overlord]]: A textbook case, with his very own [[The Dragon|dragon]], [[Evil Chancellor]], and [[Mad Doctor]].
* [[Fascist but Inefficient]]: Very, very inefficient.
* [[Folk Hero]]: More a folk''villain''. Over in Mongolia he has legends told about him unsurprisingly. For instance, supposedly (and predictably) he left a [[Pirate Booty|hidden treasure horde]] behind him.
* [[Highly-Conspicuous Uniform]]: What Ungern himself wore in the middle of battle.
* [[The Horde]]: And he was the leader.
Line 47:
* [[Rape, Pillage and Burn]]: Very enthusiastically too.
* [[The Remnant]]: Ungern led a particularly ragged example.
**At that a number of his followers joined him because they had nowhere else to go. The Reds were after them, the Chinese probably wouldn't be all that welcoming, and the biggest source of food for the winter was in the city of Urga.

Yes, it's a slightly toned down version of the work above, but yeah...it's Ungern Khan surviving, eventually ruling over Mongolia, had a deal with Japan, conquering Russia from Stalin, and even making Hitler shudder.
* A graphic novel in the ''[[Corto
* ''[[A Central East]]'' mentions Ungern-Sternberg... in a footnote, where he is killed off. This was a minor [[Take That]] against his [[Memetic Badass|'fandom']] in the AH community at the time. Either that, or him being [[Too Cool to Live]].
* He is also featured in ''The Clay Machine Gun'' (''Chapayev and Void'') by Victor Pelevin.
Line 67 ⟶ 68:
* A Ukrainian [[Black Metal]] band is named "Ungern" and has a song called "Sinister Warble of Baron Ungern".
