Typical attributes of a villain

Taking into account everything that I have seen first-hand from both heroes and villains of Disney characters, I have been able to notice recurring attributes. I have already touched upon some. For example, villains are often disfigured, baring scars or some other ailment.

Other aesthetic qualities include sharp corners on eyes, or spikes in some form or another. Interestingly enough, there were a lot of rounder, burly qualities amongst them, such as with Stromboli and Shan Yu, which are attributes I would expect to find among protagonists, as they would make up the definitions of their handsome faces and muscular physique.

Facial expressions are another factor. They are so much more diverse amongst villains because villains are sometimes made to look deliberately ugly, sporting undesirable features, such as with Disney's rendition of Hades, and his pointy nose and long mouth and chin.

Also, what do these villains often use as weapons, other than their minions, that is. Typically deception, but a more tangible weapon would be magic, and even more so, a staff of sorts. I may need to properly conisder my character's weapon. If he is all too powerful and always loses, then the audience may question how this can happen week in week out.

Colour scheme. Black and red is very common for obvious reasons as they bare connotations of death, danger, and foreboding, and these villains embody those attributes.
