Category:Bigger Bads

A villainous presence that is more cosmically significant than the main villain (or simply higher up in the grander scheme of things), but cannot truly be said to be the one causing the conflict (and may have little to do with it at all).

A Bigger Bad is a more threatening force of evil in the setting and overshadows it, but due to mindlessness, imprisonment, lack of interest, or other factors it is disconnected on a personal level from the main plot, which is caused by the main villain.
