Shang Qinghua from The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System (SVSSS)

Submission:

Hear me out: he created the world he transmigrated to and managed to not get caught for spying on his sect. He worked for MBJ and CQ (at the same time) becoming the most trusted advisor of one and a peak lord in the other. While he didn't remember EVERYTHING from his novel, it was a literal life time before. He's a mental swiss army knife, jack of all trades. He's not the best at anything, SJ and SY are definitely smarter, LBH is for sure super clever, but SQH is able to keep up with them. (And not get murdered! Way to go Airplane!)

Wei Wuxian from Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (MDZS)

Submission: He is a genius and a visionary. He's invented numerous things that make it easier for the cultivation world to do their jobs. He also figured out how to control resentful energy.

Mod Propaganda: He grandmastered that Demonic Cultivation, man

Rules

Must be a monster. A creature, if you will. No humans or humanoid characters (Ex: Luo Binghe from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System wouldn’t count). This tournament is solely devoted to my mental illness regarding creatures & beasts

Does not have to be a specific monster. It can be, but it can also just be a group/species of monsters (Ex: The Ichthyosaur species and Queen Mirabad from ORV would both count) 

Listed monsters do not have priority nor are they automatically included

Idrc if you want to be horny in the propaganda, but if the monster obviously doesn’t pass the Harkness Test, it may not be used/posted

Jade cistanche enchanced cave apes from Thousand Autumns

Xin Mo from The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System (SVSSS) -- requires a preliminary poll to determine acceptance

Apocalypse Dragon from Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint (ORV)

Species: Dragon

Submission:

in a world with gods and transcenders nd people constantly upgrading to be stronger everytime. after years of going on and upgrading more. this is the final boss. and its one tail flick makes elemental catastropic waves strong enough it pulverizes planets, and gods are required to put their lives on line to make few people survive it. it grows in an ominous orb that covers nearly entire sky, sealed with keys. it spells doom that everyone can feel deeply. it is also not one single entity. in every worldline, a contest? voting? is being held for one of the dragons to fulfill this role. it is their revenge for being a villain to slay in every story.

Black Moon Rhinoceros Python from The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System (SVSSS)

Submission: A top-tier frankencreature!

Demonic Dragon from Best Teacher Baek

Species: Imoogi

Submission:

This imoogi has spent a thousand years raising it's energy and when it was just on the cusp of ascention, a group of martial artists fighting nearby destroyed the mountains it lives in, disrupting it's efforts. After loosing it's chance to ascend, it becomes a monster and decides to enact revenge and destroy humanity.

It has a strong poison, the ability to control other monsters and a powerful demonic energy it uses to spit out black flames.

Ghost-head Spiders from The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System / SVSSS

Submission: spider body with a human head that sounds like a crying baby. fucked up right?

He Xuan's Skeletal Fish from Heaven Official’s Blessing (TGCF)

Submission: Fun funky skeletal fish that can kill or save people. Somehow need feeding despite being skeletons but it just adds to their charm. 

Peace from The S-Classes That I Raised

Species: Flame Horned Lion

Submission: super cute, extremely loving, loves cuddles with his caretaker, stays in his baby form on purpose to get more cuddles and carried around

Tangtao from I've Heard of It: The Way of Dashboard Osmosis

Species: Horse Yao, Demonic Horse, Horse who has mastered cultivation

Submission 1: tangtao is an evil horse that ate too much spiritual grass and turned immortal and spent his time terrorizing one family in particular for fucking up his favorite human's business. but it's all good now because he's been adopted by a girl who is not really a horse girl but the main character thinks she's a horse girl and really that's close enough isnt it? and by adopted i mean tranquilized and put in a bag. 🐎

Submission 2: Ok imagine a horse. You’re already scared. Now imagine a horse who is a demonic cultivator with supernatural intelligence, speed, strength, and malice, who stomps people to death with his hooves for fun. TERRIFYING!!!!!!!!!! Tangtao however describes himself best in chapter 12: “Tangtao was magnificence itself—he was 500 jin of pure rippling muscle, with a spiritual core strengthened by high quality spiritual grass, and a mind sharpened by literary classics. He was without equal.” To not vote Tangtao would be depriving all of Tumblr of his unparalleled majesty. I am not just saying this because I am so scared. Please Vote Tangtao.

Submission 3: Have you ever looked into a horse’s eyes and in the space of a single heartbeat come to know that he’s smarter than you are, that he wants you dead, and that you have never felt true fear before this very moment? Would you like to?

Xiao Bai from Mistakenly Saving The Villain

Species: Luminous Dragon / snake yao

Submission: he's just a little guy 🥺 yes he's big enough to swallow elephants. what of it.

Submission: Has eaten thousands of people and kept their bodies inside its very unsanitary shell. Killed by two seventeen-year-olds.

Submission:

Peddling my disabled gay dragon again... He's paraplegic for most of the story, and this affects him in his true form and all of the forms he shapeshifts into. He also gets a wheelchair at a certain point and he's so happy about it 🥺

He's also, like, such a vibrant and charming character. Hes soooooo annoying(affection and approval) and so over the top and i support him in everything. Also lets not forget that he has a tiny noodle form and curled around his bf's wrist like a bracelet. this lives rent free in my head what a move

Wen Kexing from Faraway Wanderers (TYK)

Submission:

Saw that someone submitted him without propaganda so here I am with propaganda! Wen Kexing is pretty much responsible for all of the plot stuff happening in Tian Ya Ke. At the same time, he does absolutely Nothing for the duration of the novel for his massive-scale revenge scheme to work out. And that's because he set it up so brilliantly that he didn't need to lift a finger for his enemies to deliver themselves up on a silver platter. It was genuinely a domino fall: he only created the inciting incident, and then the pieces slowly but surely fell into place. Except the pieces were people, and if any SINGLE one of them decided they didn't want the Lapis Armor - the treasure Wen Kexing baited them with - then Wen Kexing's scheme would just fizzle out on its own. BUT. None of them could give up the pursuit of power. None of them could be satisfied with what they already had. And Wen Kexing perfectly understood those people's psychology and built his scheme based on that. He really created this poetic justice situation where his enemies walked themselves to their deaths on their own, and only because they wouldn't stop doing the things that he wanted to take revenge for in the first place. Moreover, he set it up in such a way that he didn't need to commit attrocities while in 'the human world', and instead let his enemies expose themselves by 'not conducting themselves like human beings'. Wen Kexing only started killing when his enemies entered his world, the Ghost Valley. So it was not just poetic, it was also theater-level dramatic! Moreover, his scheme worked so perfectly that when Wen Kexing left partway through the final battle, one of his enemies actually finished up everyone else FOR HIM. And while Wen Kexing baited everyone with Lapis Armor, he also ensured that his father's promise to 'not let it fall into wrong hands' is kept - by destroying the key to it prior to kicking off his scheme. So ultimately, even if Wen Kexing died, his revenge would still be completed, AND the last man standing would receive a big fat Nothing for all the murder and plotting they did. And this is just about his revenge plot. He also sussed out a literal spymaster's true identity within like 11 chapters! Not to mention the whole, 'tricked a bunch of crazy murderers into thinking he was even more insane than them', which he did at age 9 (NINE!). Oh, he also staged a perfect coup within three years or less, somewhere between ages 18-21. And ruled over the Ghost Valley for 8 years when no other Valley Master before him lasted longer than 3. Tl;dr: A LITERAL EVIL MASTERMIND! AND WE LOVE HIM FOR THAT!
