Villain
noun
1. A character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot.
False Hero - This character is always villainous, presenting a false claim to be the hero that must be rebutted for the happy ending. Example: The sisters from 'Cinderella'
Sympathetic Villain- This villain has a tragic tale that leads to their role. They have some heroic delusions like making the world a better place, but they undoubtedly go about it all wrong. Examples: Jack Torrence 'The Shining' and Doctor Octopus
Crime Boss - This villain's main actions are crime and deception, and the goals are traditionally greed and power. Examples: Queen Bavmorda 'Willow' and Jabba the Hutt
Evil Villain - This is your run-of-the-mill villain with plotting, a devious nature, a little over the top, and general nastiness. They often monologue to the hero. Examples: Dr.Evil and the classic black-clad man with a mustache and hat who ties ladies to railroad tracks
Ancient Evil - Evil for evil’s sake, something beyond reasoning with, threatening, or waiting out. Examples: Cthulhu and the nasties from 'Evil Dead'
Psycho - This type of villain has their own twisted moral code. They have a disregard for laws and social mores, a disregard for the rights of others, a failure to feel remorse or guilt, and a tendency to display violent behavior. Examples: Norman Bates and the Joker
Someone Else's Hero - They fight for a cause that opposed the hero’s, but for those who follow that cause, this villain is their hero. Turn the tables, and you could tell the story with the roles reversed, casting the villain in the heroic light and the hero as villain. Example: Magneto
