MLP:FiM - How to Make a Great Evil / Villain "OC"! 

When u said “Outstanding character” I thought: OC HAS A NEW MEANING!!!

"I can see that I'll have to teach you how to make...VILLAINS!" *plays we are number one*

Tyandaga: I can see, that I will have to teach you how to be villains! *insert saxophone*

My OC, Dark Obsidian, is a villain as he was trained by King Sombra for most of his life. When he was abandoned at the age of 8 due to the lack of pay and the foal support debt increasing, he was adopted and taken in by King Sombra to be trained and created into his new heir. However after 13 long years, Obsidian did not become exactly like Sombra as he looked at him like a father. It came time when King Sombra sealed away Obsidian in crystal deep within the depths of the castle as he battled and lost with the Princesses. Obsidian remained dormant upon his return 1000 years into the future. Before being defeated by the light and love of the Crystal Heart, Sombra had teleported Obsidian in a last ditch effort knowing that he and Obsidian couldn't withstand with the Heart's magic. It was a short time after the events of The Crystal Empire after returning consciousness in the North, at a distance from the Empire, The young stallion knew he couldn't return to the Empire and also grew a hatred for whoever was responsible for King Sombra's demise and swore someday he'll return to take his rightful place on the throne. Until then, He hides in plain sight and bides his time to strike. The story doesn't end here, over time he began to see the good in the time he was revived in, allowing himself to become more open and confident to take on whatever comes, As long as his abilities and past remain hidden.

My favorite kind of villains are those who started out as regular everyday people, but something bad happened like they lost a loved one or some aspect of society ruined their lives. Those kind of villains are the most compelling and they're easy to understand why they turned evil. I like Mr Freeze. His motives are just to save his wife.

Am I the only one who likes villains more than heroes?

One of my favorite villains is a cat named Scourge from Warriors by Erin Hunter. He was bullied by his siblings as a kit and attacked by Tigerstar when he was still Tigerpaw (an apprentice). All of this made his anger and power grow. His followers feared him, doing what he said without question (except Barely, but then again, Barely was always a rebel). When Tigerstar approached him, asking for an alliance to take over the forest, Scourge agreed. Then, when Tigerstar was about to begin his plan of concurring the forest, Scourge betrayed him and took away all nine lives with one swoop. This action terrified the forest cats, and when firestar was walking around, persuading the other clans to fight, leopardstar clearly stated that she didn't want to, after what happened to Tigerstar. She thought Scrouge would kill her and leave Riverclan, her clan, (who had just merged with shadowclan) at scourge's mercy, since she knew shadowclan wouldn't help them. Scourge was a terrifying villan for readers and characters of the story alike. his weakness was that he didn't believe in starclan and couldnt receive the nine lives they bless to good leaders. I was actua;y hoping for redemption for the guy. too bad the Erin's just had to kill him off.

"They need a reason to me Evil!" My OC: "Being evil is cool so I became a bad guy." (Edgelord intensifies)

*cough cough* water... I need water... *gives him water* D:

I suddenly got inspired by this.. *Goes back into writing a story for an evil OC*

Me When Other Villains Appear: *hissss* Me when Loki appears: GO LOKI! DESTROY THEM!

I have a "villain" oc that I've been working on recently and I think it's pretty good. Her name is Melissa, and she's not really the "bad guy" in this case, but more of a bully. So Melissa is half demon-half mortal. She lives and grew up with her father, who is a demon, to train her in dark magic. Melissa doesn't like her father or that she's part demon. She wishes she could go to Earth and make friends with mortals, but is afraid of what might happen to her if she does. The "good guy" is a half angel Alexandra. She is actually quite similar to Melissa. She grew up with her father who has the power of nature and practiced this power, making beautiful gardens with her favorite flowers, sunflowers. Alex very often visits her mother on Earth and doesn't listen to her father's demands. She wants to make friends with mortals because she's bored of always being around other angels and gods and just wants to meet new people, but her mother stops her. Melissa, jealous that Alex is an angel and is always considered good makes fun of her and destroys her gardens because, while she hates being a demon, she is afraid of what will happen if she disobeys her father and how she'll look in front of her friends being nice to an angel. I only recently made these ocs so some constructive criticism and ideas would be nice :)

my favorite evil villain is robbie rotten

i think chrysalis is a very good example off some may not see them as villains as in her eyes she is simply providing for her people

"villains should have their weakness" so is black hats weakness his one eye

I believe the gravemind from the Halo franchise takes the cake as one of my all-time favorite villains. The gravemind is cunning, intellegent, strategic, poetic. Most of all, it has a weakness to the Halo Rings that we’re first built for the destruction of the gravemind and his army by an ancient civilization before humans. Thanks for reading this :)

Hope you guys like the improved audio! =3

to qoute a certian big blue villian"your a villain all right just not a super one" "whats the difference?" *cue epic music* "PRESENTATION!"

“It’s not easy being mean”. Guess the character based on this quote Hint one: he is green Hint two: he is a muppet Last Hint: he is a villain The character is Constantine from “Muppets most wanted”

My favourite villain is from warrior cats: *Tiger Star*

Evil? Semantics. I consider myself "morally challenged."

about the villian who doesnt think theyre the villian... *cough* handsome jack *cough, cough*

My favorite villain is Lord Dominator from Wander over Yonder. She is so sassy, and i love that personality from a villain! She does have weaknesses, and she is very cool!

" We hiss when we see the villian! " *coughtotallynotscreamingandfangirlingtrixiecoughcoughcough*

Thank you for making this video it’s a big help! I have been building a Villain Alicorn oc. Her name is Insania (Latin for insanity) even thought this wasn’t her name in the beginning. She forced the change after being possessed by and evil spirit jormungand who was sealed away 1000 and 1000 of years before, in an amulet. Beatus (Latin for happiness and joy), insania, was the youngest from her royal family, an older brother who was next in line for the throne, then her parents. But her childhood wasn't good depict her loving brother. She was neglected by the kingdom and out casted, ponies would speak to her out of fear for being punished by the king and queen (beatus's parents, they are rulers of a oc kingdom). But her brother stayed by her side, and did what he could ignore his father. But after he passed away for illness. Beatus was left alone. And she started to leave the kingdom exploring distant ruins. That is where she finds Jormungand, and a prophecy of her future. She didn't want to believe it but as time passed temptation grew and she was soon possessed by the amulet. And is now seeking revenge, on the surrounding kingdoms. But there is a deeper motivation to Insania, which Jormungand held her hostage for, she never wants to be forgotten. That is the basic idea I can type without it being a novel. XD but thanks to the video I can think more into her passed and ideas.

lol Fluttershy saying "This means war!" was pure genius

This is a joke only creepypasta fans will understand "look at your favorite villain" Every jeff the killer fangirl: *looks at jeff*

Actually,my Protagonist OC is the Villain. even though she doesn't know it,she was created to be 'more powerful than the elements themselves' and she was born with a cutie mark. she is mostly represented as a kind,loving pony but deep inside she has a sadness she cannot escape(basically depression) as she tries to ignore the sadness inside,the crystal king,sombra possesses her and she become the 'Nightmare,or True Self' version of herself as she goes on to try to destroy ponyville and the rest of equestria,with giant wings and a horn with a hooked end(Sombras horn) but is stopped by a bat pony who she once loved until she regains consciousness and fights back sombra. in the end she losses her horn,but still has her alicorn-like wings,and also losses her cutie mark. now she can pick her own fate without anyone deciding her fate for her.

I think "antagonist" better fits the title. An opposing force that hinders the protagonist and keeps them from their goal. A soccer rival wouldn't necessarily be evil, they just want to win the game.

I do have a villain character. His name is Paradox and he is an arena dragon, a nightfury to be precise. He's the antagonist of the story because of his desire of being the strongest dragon in the arena he was forced to be raised in when he was just a hatchlings, and wants to see the protagonist go down because she was the only dragon that could defeat him once and escaped the arena later, something he never managed to do before she was brought in. It's not very solid and it still hasn't have a final design but I'm working on it

First, create a hero. Give them a motivation, and personality. Then, have them do whatever they can to get what they want. Now create a hero to oppose them. Repeat the same steps. Have them do all the right things.

My OC was neglected and forgotten by her parents, which caused her to want to inflict the same pain on others.

5:22 well if my favorite villains are jessie, james, and meowth then that statement is irrelivant, they are terrible at being bad

Talking about villains makes me want to talk about Tigerstar from a series called Warriors. He's written off as a "bad becuase he can be" character when he's really not

Here's my villain story! My charicter became evil because somepony stole her cookies and she still dosent knew who..! It is truly sad and villain worthy

I'm was super surprised when school (not art collage) taught us how to make a good villain and hero!

I have an Evil OC called Meme Wolf, she sneaks into your house and steals your common Pepe's. She is evil because one time, she drew a stickman, and spilled water on her bootiful stickman, she wanted revenge because the water killed the very thing she loved, so she stole all the common Pepe's and made them drink the entire Ocean so that the Human race would *dry* out. In the end, Meme Wolf died because no water meant she couldn't have her beloved Coffee. As you can see, I have very good experience when it comes to making Antagonists.

I have a villain oc, and he pretty much goes along with all the tips you pointed out here; strengths, weaknesses, a backstory, reason to be evil, etc. But there's something else too. In his story, he convinced his friends to be on his side, you know, doing the evil stuff they do, but I'm not sure if this would have him be considered over-powered, or even nudge him towards the Mary-Sue direction. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't feel as though I'm doing something right.

I have been trying to make a good villain for ages - but all attempts at it have failed. Watching this has helped me understand why that is - thank you so much for the help!

I absolutely love that new cartoon network short, Villainous. It focuses more on the villains, which I like.

my fave chars are mainly villians. bowser (discord counts kinda) fawfull King Candy Flowey (pre-stuff)

My favourite villain ? I think flowey

I believe there is one MASSIVE thing that we should also try to do when coming up with a “villain”: know the difference between VILLAIN and ANTAGONIST, as not all antagonists are necessarily evil, but villains are. An antagonist is a character who gets in the way of a protagonist’s (wether major or minor) goals, like the star athlete from the other high school that Ty mentioned. Remembering this can go a long way into making a good villain OR antagonist, at least in my eyes.

My favorite villain is probably Starscream from Transformers Prime :3 I'm currently in the process of making a villainous oc, im making the background, their motivation, why they turned evil, and their weakness

You forgot a very important type of villain; the force of nature villain. These types of villains are much harder to write about as they are trapped within their ways such as the Joker. But the villain should also bring out the best of the hero as well. But either way, nicely done. Another angle to consider is the idea of evil for the sake of evil but to remember as an example of why that is evil. Imagine, if you will, there are worldly conditions that aren't really discussed but are pretty clear to see. That type of villain would crank that concept up, exposing the underline evil to bring it to attention while defending the idea. The name would go down with scorn for what they have done yet without their influence things would be a lot worse. Sometimes, the evilest thing one can do is to watch evil be done without doing anything. I actually made a lot villains. I have to say the best one would actually be a character that was cast out at a young age due to traditions however they found a much more advanced society and learning their ways through observation. That character returned to unite the torn land in a bloody revolution. After being betrayed so many times, it was clear that only the villain can trust only themselves causing some paranoia but focusing on their own power until the land was prosperous. Though trying to have a peaceful rule, their species were built for combat and get bored very easily. Seeing other lands that would benefit under the villain, believing that they are a hero, attempted to assimilate the other lands under their rule. The offer was refused yet they could not simply stand by seeing how much the other lands are suffering from water, food, and so on. Despite the efforts to have the people of the land defect, there really wasn't an option left. To prevent prolonged suffering, the villain's forces were gathered to invade their neighbors. Emotions had to be locked away while displaying bravery to the troops, pain to keep hidden, all while making sure everybody was provided what is needed. Word quickly spread of "the evil forces" that the villain had and was seen as a warmongering tyrant. Naturally that is the super short story. But when testing that character, people liked that villain a lot.

I have a cliched evil clone OC. But she has developed so much over the years that she's become one of my favorite characters that I own. She was cloned from an Eevee OC who was evil at the time that he was cloned, but he's since turned a new leaf and is fighting with the good guys. This clone, however, has only gotten more and more evil and will stop at nothing to kill the original just to bring back a leader that she is still fiercely loyal to.

Unless your talking about Scar because we all end up feeling like him and the hynas in the first film.

Thanks to this my OC Tanatos is ready to commit some little of genocide all over Equestria!!! But do not worry because he thinks he's morally justified, well nod really, but lying to oneself is easier than saying "I am a damn parasite that is so terrified by death that i kills hundreds of innocents to prolong my existence" :)

The villains in my story just want the world to be a better place. There are three of them, working together. One of them is from a place that's similar to Starlight Glimmer's (except they aren't pretending to be happy, they just...exist). She never experienced the power of freedom until the second of the villains arrived to stand against her leader, so she left to follow him thereafter. The aforementioned second villain was from a place that was pretty much the opposite of the first one's. His leader was a complete pushover. Outsiders saw the leader's "vulnerability" and sought to conquer the land. They were unsuccessful, but in the fight, the second villain's father was murdered. He was furious. He spent his life seeing his leader excuse countless misdeeds, but his father's death was crossing the line, so he decided to be the one who stands up for what's right and punishes evildoers, to be everything his leader failed to be. But he takes it to the extreme, killing others for petty crimes. The third was born of parents that were from separate backgrounds at war with each other. His father gave up being with his mother before he was born, and therefore never knew he existed. He was raised by his mother, who halfway resented him for his father's abandonment. He gladly left his mother because of that, and since he was alone after leaving her, he found guidance and acceptance from the first two villains, and he's more than happy to take out his pent-up anger on the "criminals" they're up against. All three of are basically committing crimes to stop others from committing crimes. 2/4 of the protagonists happened to be on hit list (one used to be a thief, and the other used to be on the villain's side and is considered a traitor).

I kind of half agree with the whole motivation thing. If you want to make your villain sympathetic (The Ice King from Adventure time) then yes, backstory and motivation is almost mandatory. But then you have the other type of villain. The one's that just love to cause Chaos with nothing likeable about them. While this may seem inferior to the other type of villain initially, it works in creating someone who can really give the protagonist a run for their money and a real challenge. This type of villain works best when motivation and back story are shrouded in mystery, never giving the audience a true grip on what they are doing this for, which makes them all the more menacing. Heck, Disney made an entire brand with this archetype. What motivations did we ever get from The stepmother, Maleficent, Ursula, Jafar or Scar (and don't give me that Taka crap because those books were not made by anyone who worked on the original movie and should be given the same merit as FanFiction). Yet we see them as some of the greatest villains in film history? In conclusion, giving your villain a clear back story and motivation all depends on how you want you're audience to feel about them.

My evil character is named Queen Nethervain. She was actually my first official OC ever from a few years ago. She was born in the overworld, but she always experienced other overworld dwellers hurting and attacking innocent things, so, being a little child, she thought that was okay, so she did the same. Right before she died, she realized that it was wrong to do such things, and when she passed on, she had an afterlife with many kind creatures and citizens of the nether. Her motivation is to protect her fellow citizens from foreigners. However, from years of endlessly punishing harmful foreigners, she eventually forgot that some foreigners are not harmful, and much more helpful, and now she just attacks any stranger, thinking they are evil. Oh wow uh yeah I really get into this stuff...

Yes, I have a evil character His name his Cosmic, he's the ruler of the Comic Dimension in my story. His Friends with the other rulers of the Dimensions, but then something happened. A new assistant was made for the Rulers of the Dimensions, her name is Ohshe Then over time, Cosmic got jealous, then this is when Cosmic Snapped He got really jealous and angry at the Rulers of the Dimensions for Liking Ohshe and not caring about him at all, so then Cosmic decided to use his power to curse her (aka Corrupt her) But then when Ohshe gets Corrupted by Cosmic, his plan immediately backfires Because when Ohshe was Corrupted she banished the rulers to their own Dimensions, So then they couldn't go out of their Dimensions to help on another But now since Cosmic is having all of the time in the world, he'll return for revenge I'm still working on the story, let me know what I should change Also, I make animations to further tell the story Also, I'll link a playlist of the animations and art I made to tell the story There's entire story after the story I just said, so watch this playlist to see what happens ru-vid.com/group/PL3kYBR8jyzQinhn4QscGtsr6BAd8eO09Z Here's the playlist I made of the Important story of my series Okay, that's all I had to say, bye!

What an oddly timed video considering my evil OC is running rampant over my channel right now

granny smith is the best villian XP

Tyandaga, the advice you give viewers is so good it even works OUTSIDE mlp!

Me: *sees baby sombruh* Me: AHH THE CUTENESS! *Falls out of chair* It twas too much

My villain is a BUNNY SHARK! No it's not I only did that because I'm a carrotfish k.

Honestly, I plan on a series which questions who's "good". After all clans think what their doing is right. But a quote from a character, icicle, "who's right if we can't-and will never decide who's right?" Since how do you know if you're the good one, if others think your bad... But you think you're intentions are good..? Also who "chooses" who is right..

I'm making a fan season of Total Drama, and your videos are helping me, this one helped me make the villain named Spike, who's a fighter that is super hyped to win the contest, now time to work on the rest

I have multiple evil character for different books and stories I made. This information was so helpful for helping me in the past. Thanks!

Evil Tyandaga is going to steal all the cookies! Nooooooo!

My favorite evil villain is... Hillary Clinton. I look to her for all of my inspiration.

I actually made a new oc since season 6,since the idea of changlings becoming "good" I wanted to make a character that hates them despite this.and this video helped me make a backstory for that oc. thanks! !

this is a channel where you watched all the vids but cant stop because its too good

Imma tell you the story on my OC first of all, she is a kind person, and don't easily get mad, but then, an evil spirit thingy that came from hell then possessed her, the evil spirit then takes my evil side, then there are two of us, me and the evil me. the color of my OC dress is turquoise, eye color is red, and brown hair. but the evil me has black hair, red eyes and dark gray dress, (also my OC has a little magic, she can levitate things) then when we saw each other we fought. I used my levitation to levitate her then bump her in a wall. the evil spirit then leaves my dark me, then the dark me is inside of me now. but a few days later, the evil spirit is back IF THIS GETS 30 LIKES THEN IM CONTINUENG THIS STORY

I'm working on a villan OC as we speak. I was inspired by Nightmare Moon which I have been working very hard on. This is including her backstory, why she does what she does, her weaknesses and strength, and much more.

this vid just legit inspired me to write AN ENTIRE PARAGRAPH about my villain oc THANK YOU SO MUCH

My favorite villain is Loki! (The brother of Thor) and this inspired me to make a villain!

My villain has the greatest name The waffle of death she's so evil

I have a mlp oc her name is 'Snow Fall'. Snow Fall is a child. When she was a about 4 or 5 she was playing and walking on the ice of the rivers, when the ice suddenly cave in and she fell though. She was all alone and no one head her yells and cry, ended up drowning in the icy rivers. Be careful when around her, Snow Fall will ask you "Hello can you please play with me?" If you say yes she'll thank you and show you her ball that she plays with all the time, but if you say no she'll me devastated and walk back with her head down. Ok back to if you said yes, she'll show you her ball and tell you about her "game" she made. The game is you roll around her ball and if it stop you lose (no matter what YOU always will lose if the ball stops), but the thing you have to do isn't very nice. When you lose she'll say "uh oh......you lost!" Very happy and then ice from the lake will from around you until the only thing showing is your face. She'll then being making the ice tighter and thicker.....

I have two favorite villians, Scar and Captain Hook. When Tyandaga talked about fears a villian might have, I kept thinking about Captain Hooks fear of crocodiles and how that could turn him from an evil pirate into a scardey cat! His reaction still crack me up even as an adult.

I like the joker from the dark knight rises, and I am using that as an inspiration for Renaldo in FNaF Wonderland.

I need a review on a villain I'm developing, please: So, her name's Kara and she is evil because THE THING that pretends to be her mother raised her to be this way and thus Kara can't differ right from wrong and is constantly asking THE THING what to do in every situation. Eventually, Kara realizes that what she is doing is wrong, but her "mother" keeps telling her that what momma says is completely right and naturally Kara develops a dependent and controllable personality that only THE THING can control :) I know THE THING is technically the villain, but even when THE THING's gone Kara keeps doing what she was taught was right. Is it okay?

YESS i was just about make an evil oc sooo THANKS SENPAI!!!

Fav Villain: Bill Cipher 🎩

My favorite villain is the Kraang from the 2012 TMNT show because not only are they interesting to look at due to them being aliens but funny to see them fail at their missions when the turtles beat them! 😂

I have a chaotic neutral character, who's part dragon, but he basically doesn't give a crap about what he does because he thinks ponies are less than dragons, but he also looks like a dragon so he never knew he was part pony. Shiker(that's his name) just thinks he is small. His opinion is biased by his dragon mom and the teenagers he hangs out with.

I do have an evil character, my normal oc lightning heart is a pegasus and is happy and kind, her dark side lightning strike is her evil side, she is cruel and has her weaknesses, she is evil and only comes out because of lightning hearts back story lightning shrink when she comes out wants revenge on the world so lightning heart tries to keep her contained inside of her and doesn't want lightning strike to come out

This kind of inspired me to do three villain OCs - Wave, Wink, and Wyvern. All three are cats, and are siblings. They are all black with white chests. Wyvern is a she-cat and is kind of the leader of the group, while Wave and Wink are he-cats and are kind of followers of Wyvern, with friendly competition between one another. Wink is the youngest, while Wyvern is the oldest. They were born into a cat family that lived in city streets. They also used to have two other siblings - Whisper and Whip, who were, again, black with a white chest. Their mother, Ryganda, was a black cat with a white muzzle, and their father, DJ, was completely black. DJ got all the food and gave all the love to his kits, while Ryganda hunted for herself and almost entirely ignored the kits, seeing them as only helpers to help her rise to power among all other city cats one day. However, one night while Ryganda was away and again trying to negotiate with other cats to organize a cat group (she did this a lot), humans raided the cat family's alley that they lived in. DJ and Whisper were killed, while Wink and Whip were wounded. Whip died of his wounds, while Wink survived. Wyvern was extremely depressed by this point. When her mother came back, she acted as though it wasn't a big deal that half her family died, and left Wyvern and her two remaining siblings for dead. However, Wyvern, although she wasn't physically strong, had a way with words, and had some sort of power in them that no one could explain. She could have used this power to bring the world together had she been raised right - but, instead, she used it for self-gain. She talked to a dog, spilling horrible lies along with horrible truths about her mother, and her face and her powerful words almost brainwashed the dog, who set out to kill Wyvern's mother. He did manage to catch Ryganda and kill her. Wyvern went on to become one of the most powerful cats in the land, with her two brothers backing her only for two reasons: They were the only family that each of them had left, and plus, Wyvern could easily get food by convincing prey to kill themselves. Anyone who wronged Wyvern was quickly killed by people she brainwashed through her words. The three siblings have no true home, but wander around the land, strutting their authority and power everywhere. They don't have much physical strength, but Wyvern's powerful words are enough to give them almost too much power.

Hi! I wanted to share my Witch empress with you I hope you like her even though she's not Mlp, I've been watching your videos for a long time and you've REALLY helped me make good characters! So here goes... Her name used to be Marie and she belonged to a race of Magic manipulators she had a husband named John. But after the Salem witch trials and she saw that humans we're trying to get rid of witches. she tore a hole into anouther dimension unwittingly at the cost of her soul. After ringleading a huge exidus, her soul became more darkened and cold over time. She granted herself and her husband imortality and changed their names, he became general Moorgrim and commanded an army of giants (that his wife now high courtess Erigana made by taking human children from earth and training them to be soldiers) though she still deeply loves her husband he became very wary ofher actions even becoming a giant himself eventually she went too far when she revealed she wanted to destroy all of humanity with his army and the people she stole from them so he left to form a rebellion with his own followers and she plummeted into madness.

Motives are a hard thing for me, especially when it's on the level I'm trying to go with. He wants nothing more than to see Equestria fall, but I haven't come up with a good reason. A lack of sanity wouldn't make sense, because he's logical most always. Vengeance wouldn't warrant attempted genocide. The best thing I can come up with is fear: His rampage starts when Nightmare Moon finds attacks him instead of the Mane 6. He's had serious unbroken stealth, and he *fears* what will happen when that's broken. Thus he retaliates with power stronger than thought, not enough to instantly kill Nightmare Moon, but enough to make her reform from terrorising entirely in one night. However his cover is truly blown when the battle finds it's way into Canterlot's sights, forcing him to retreat. But then his retreat is taken to a new level of *fear* and redirects him back to Canterlot when he runs into a threat wielding guns. At this point, he decides to start killing Canterlot's residence, until those previously mentioned gunners catch up with him. His brief rampage is ended with death, followed by a mind-controlling revival. The problem is that *fear* cannot justify his second attack. Nor can a non-existent lack of sanity. Would you say that it's him simply going mad with newfound power? I can't think of anything else worthwhile adding at the moment.

I personally like Starlight Glimmer. Becoming equal is an understandable challange for me.

Holly Kick as an antagonist was mostly someone who was ticked off with Moonlit Tide ditching her for Shining Pearl and Stargazing. She basically used her potion knowledge to scare Shining Pearl and prove a point to Moonlit Tide.

Thanks for these tips, I'm currently working on improving my own villain character :D She's basically a rip-off of Rin in Daughter of Evil (😂), but I'm trying to make her her own character. And unlike Rin, she actually falls to those who oppose her in the end instead of escaping with her life.

First off,!I love your videos and art!! Second off, my favorite villain is a man called Zane Ro'meave. He was bullied by his brothers, verbally abused by his father, and hated by the society in which he lived him. All he wanted in life was for his father to accept him, which was his motivation. All the pain he went through drove him insane in the end and someone took his life. I personally love his personality and weaknesses, and him as a whole.

This is very helpful. I'll make sure to use these tips in the future! ;) Love your videos :D

my fav villen is bearglo from Seri! Pixel Biologist!'s warrior cat sims 3 series. he is a large pure white cat, that has a large compelling voice and is definitely a villen from the little clips she has given us. and for some reason starclan (basically heaven of cats but you wouldn't really quite get it unless you read the books), cant talk to him ( bearglo is a medicine cat [basically a doctor for cats] and in warrior cats if starclan needs to talk to a medicine cat then the can but not with bearglo), and he has been seen talking to shadows and such. and his sister has actually killed a cat for giving bearglo a mysterious fish that actually has poison in it and almost killed bearglo.

Favorite villain character is Ruber from Quest for Camelot animated movie. I have a MLP villain OC named Tavacian, who is supposed to be the yang for the sisters yin. Likewise, when they retire and are no longer part of the game, his life force is recycled to a new generation to help maintain balance. Celestia also tortures him for the time Sombra makes the Crystal Empire disappear. Its a neat character I've been told.

remember how everyone else's characters in the brony analysis communtiy have evil sides to themselves? well, only some do, but there is one kind analyst in the fandom who is also known as the Psychologist of the fandom, The Doc/DRWolf001. Out of all the other evil onea ive seen so far, i seriously think that it would be interesting if the doc had a dark side for at least once.

My favourite villian is Tyandaga! Do you guys remember that one time he stole the cookies from the cookie jar!? He's so awesome!! And that other time he Put holes in peoples' Socks?! He's my favourite villian!

My oc is a villain, but he’s actually part of a different organization, an organization that not a lot of people choose to follow, my oc is a general in the Storm Army. He joined at the same time as Tempest, and has a whole backstory that links him to the broken unicorn, a backstory of Tempest’s one friend.

I love how put things into words

Love the new audio and thanks for the help on that x3

I think one BIG thing with making a good villain, is it shouldn't just be their POWER that's intimidating. That can be a factor, but I feel like the villain AS A CHARACTER needs to be intimidating or at least unsettling even before they show their power. Unless they're like say, Majin Buu from DBZ (well, Fat Buu) were the fact they were child-like and silly was intimidating when CONTRASTED to their massive power. Too many people try to use 'villain beats up characters' as a shorthand for 'villain is super scary', when really, to me, that's an 'easy button' for trying to make a villain frightening or intimidating. For example: Frieza from DBZ: it isn't JUST his immense power that makes him frightening, it's the fact his reaction to blowing up a planet is 'what lovely fireworks' and he treats the atrocities that surround him as 'business as usual' without any shred of decency or kindness. If beating up the heroes was ALL it took for a villain to be intimidating, then Nappa would be as scary as Frieza, but he's not because Frieza had those other traits to make him scary as a PERSON, with his power simply being a cherry on top.

I have a weird favriote villain... *Bill cipher*

thank you so much for this! it helped me alot♡ i have a evil fox oc named bloodypaw, she's only evil because she was abandoned as a child and grew up fighting for her life, she never got the chance to be loved or love someone else so evil is all she ever knows, before she got abandoned her parents mistreated her and technically taught her to he evil and growing up with the world on her shoulders she got very aggressive towards everyone and everything because she was so angry upset and confused about why life was so bad towards her. she ends up finally meeting some other animals (and her boyfriend Nemisis the cat) and they teach her what is good and what is bad ^^

My fav villain? Jasper and especially the diamonds from Steven Universe

I have an amoral human, turned eldritch abomination, turned vacationing entity... after he assimilated the omniverse, and restoring it. Now, he's taken the form of a small colt, adopted into a minor, albeit important, family. In a way, much like Saitama, he now views having ultimate power as boring; when a fight has no stakes, what's even the point of doing it anymore?

I think Ink Dye from thelostnarrator is my favorite villain. She just sends chills down my spine every time I see her, especially in her inky alicorn form

Meh, I rarely ever answer questions in videos like this, but why not! My favorite villain is Vladimir Makarov from Call of Duty. He's cool and collected, as well as incredibly through with his methods, always escaping long before anyone even knows he's been there and is long gone by the time they do, pulling off ambitious plots and somehow always having a man on the inside so there is no possibility of failure (until he screws up and one of his ex-allies survives an execution, ultimately resulting in his demise). I've made a few villains, one of my favorites being an MLP character named Sharpshot who appears to be an alicorn, but is really a Pegasus wearing a fake horn that she uses for intimidation and, occasionally, close range attacks. Another of my favorites is Aurik Weiss-Jager, who is a 1930's German captain in the SS, who, despite being arrested by the protagonist and held inside a concentration camp he was supposed to help run, still manages to be menacing and resorts to desperate attempts to attack the protagonists guards and companions in hopes of escaping and telling the country that one of the SS members (the protagonist) has gone rogue.
