| A Villain Named "Z__rg" | comment |
Be it because of its outlandish sound or its harsh structure, there seems to be a trend of naming sci-fi villains — and especially stereotypical ones — after the three consonants Z, R and G (sometimes with a K instead of a G and an X instead of a Z), with a random vowel in-between and possibly some letters before or after. When these villains are not of this world, they likely hail from A Planet Named Zok. Compare Law of Alien Names, Xtreme Kool Letterz, Names to Run Away from Really Fast, Name-Tron. Contrast Tom the Dark Lord. Not to be confused with Zerg Rush (though the Trope Namers for that trope are an example of this one). noreallife |

Emperor Zhark from the Thursday Next books is a near-example (in two different ways). He's the villain of his own pulpy sci-fi series, but in the metafictional main story, he's one of the good guys. | |

Spoofed in Spirou & Fantasio with Zorglub (portmanteau of Zorg and "Arglub" which is a standard Written Sound Effect for accidental strangling in Franco-Belgian comics). Notable in that it is currently the older example known — even before Starcraft — and already a parody. | |

The twin villains Tomax and Xamot from the old G.I. Joe cartoon probably count, as they were always named together and their names respectively end with a "ks" or start with a "z" sound. Then of course there's Zartan and his relatives Zandar and Zaranna. | |

Dragon Ball usually averts this despite the large number of aliens in the series by adhering to Theme Naming, although Frieza's henchman Zarbon applies, even if he still adheres to the Edible Theme Naming rule much of the cast adheres to.note In his case, Zarbon is named after the Japanese term for the Pomelo fruit, "Zabon." | |

Dungeons & Dragons editions 3.0 and 3.5 has multiple characters with such names. Graz'zt, Prince of the Dark, is one of the top three demons in the Abyss after Demogorgon and Orcus. Exemplars of Evil has Zargath Human-bane, an orc warlord with plans to commit genocide against humans, elves, and dwarves. The last chapter of Elder Evils is about Zargon the Returner, one of the ancient Baatorians who ruled Baator before the arrival of Asmodeus and the other baatezu devils. |

Star Trek: Klingons love the letter K. Star Trek: The Original Series gives us Kang, Kor, Koloth, and Kahless, and the movies have Kruge, Klaa, Koord, and Gorkon. In the Expanded Universe, their home planet used to be called Klinzhai, but the official canon later renamed it Qo'noS (pronounced "Kronos"). Ironically, in-universe "Klingon" is corrupted from their native word for themselves, tlhIngan, due to the "tl-" consonant cluster being too harsh for the English-speaking humans who encountered them. This sound is sometimes "restored" by translations into languages where it's more common (such as the Irish rendering Tliongánach). Star Trek: Voyager has the Kazon. |

Buzz Lightyear's archnemesis from his in-universe franchise in Toy Story is called Emperor Zurg. His action figure appears in Toy Story 2 and he's a (very obvious) Darth Vader knockoff. Zurg also appears in Lightyear, which is about Buzz Lightyear's universe and not toys anymore. |

Wars of the Realm: quite a few of the Fallen have names like this. Examples include Durgank, Tinsalik Barob, Guldomak, Poxel, and Tulgard. Perhaps the most literal example of this trope is the demon commander Zurock. | |

Superman: Several Silver Age Supergirl villains were called names like Drang, Zond, Klax-Ar (Strangers at the Heart's Core). Nowadays she still has to contend with enemies like Xenon (Many Happy Returns), Deimax (Last Daughter of Krypton) or Vax (Crucible). One of Superman's greatest foes is the Kryptonian General Zod. The Untold Story of Argo City: Back when Kara was a baby, an alien monster named Zygor attacked Argo City. In The Death of Lightning Lad, the Legion of Super-Heroes prevent Zaryan the Conqueror from taking over the galaxy. |

Doctor Who gives us Zygons, Krotons, planet Skaro, planet Karn, Gavrok the Bannerman, and Izlyr the Ice Warrior (though Izlyr was a good guy). Nu Who gives us Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe, Raxacoricofallapatorians, and Bannakaffalatta (who was also a good guy). The concept is also referenced in Russell T. Davies's comment about maintaining the human element of the show, so it wasn't just about "Zogs from the planet Zog". |

King Zog of Dreamland in Disenchantment is not necessarily an villain, but he is very cruel, mean-spirited tyrant that happens to be the protagonist's father. | |

Tom Zarek from Battlestar Galactica (2003). Not stereotypical for a Sci-Fi villain (he begins the series as a political activist prisoner) but other than the Cylons themselves (heck, even compared to a lot of the Cylons) is one of the most antagonistic characters on the show. | |

Lone Wolf absolutely lives off this trope, especially with its double A phoneme; Zagarna being a fine example, the Negud-Kor-Adez, Kaag, Helshezag, if it sounds harsh and guttural it's probably somewhere in the language of evil. This isn't strictly reserved to the bad guys however, with noble if dangerous places named things like "Zaaryx". | |
