[QUOTE="Bohandas, post: 8292428, member: 7015707"] * The protagonists from the shock rock band GWAR's songs. The characters are mass murdering rapist cannibal war criminals but they get along with each other and are even sometimes heroic in the sense that they oppose other cosmic evils such as Satan, the robotic space tyrant Cardinal Syn, and the Scumdogs Of The Universe organization that they broke off from. * The four libertines from the Marquis de Sade's [i]The School of Libertinage[/i]. They're murderers, sex criminals, slavers, war profiteers, and involved in government corruption, but work together as a group to support their criminal empire and maintain their sybaritic lifestyle. * Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars starts turning evil in episode 2 but doesn't become an antagonist until the second half of episode 3 * Charles Foster Offdensen, the band manager from Metalocalypse. While the band themselves are merely indifferent to human suffering, Offdensen is actively ruthless and vengeful, often solving issues that threaten the band's profitability by having people kidnapped, beaten, or killed * Randolph Carter from the Cthulhu Mythos. The human sorceror Randolph Carter is basically a part-time villain and minor eldritch abomination in his own right, doing things like posessing a non-antagonistic alien for centuries in [i]Through the Gates of the Silver Key[/i] and selling out one group of his allies characters to another group who is at war with them in [i]The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath[/i]. EDIT: But the main one here is GWAR, who are basically an adventuring party [/QUOTE]
