Folkloric Villainy

Antagonistic things that related with either great villains, minor wrongdoers, or other forms of villainy that appear in the folklore of varied societies. These types of villainy are similar to mythological and theological villains as well as things that are related with them, but tend to be spoken about in smaller communities as part of a society's culture: like evildoers in folklore, these malevolent subjects often have a moral-meaning as well or are designed to keep people out of trouble.
