Evil is seductive, and to drive that point home, bad guys can be Lean and Mean, elegant, creepy, or sexy. Some bad guys even combine those traits in different combinations, giving you creepy-sexy bad guys as just one example. To further underline the seductiveness and underscore the temptation of evil, some Evil characters also seem to share a certain kinetic trait: body language that implies a certain gravity-defying elegant grace, a boneless, flowing, fluid manner of movement. It can be sexily alluring, or unnervingly disturbing, but serves as a visual cue to a viewer that a character who moves in this manner is sliding away or completely removed from what we consider "their humanity", and as such is not a sympathetic character to root for. In more supernatural cases, the villain does literally and voluntarily shift from solid to liquid or gas at will. Villains who are animals can display this trait honestly as it will often be a species trait: eels, reptiles (especially snakes), weasels, cats and rats all slink. Occasionally, due to them not being able to help how they move — and bad reputation — you may encounter slinky animals who are neutral or good despite what it may look like when they move. One of the oldest temptation villains, the serpent in the Garden of Eden, exhibits the same motion. Characters who exhibit this manner of movement are almost always evil. Usually, if a good character is moving in an inhuman manner, it's usually more rubbery than slinky-liquid. The trope is most commonly applied in animated fare, but it does make appearances in live action as well. In reptilian characters or those who can turn into reptiles at will, may be accompanied by Sssssnake Talk, but otherwise, generally, not. Examples |

In both West of Zanzibar and its remake Kongo, the protagonist (Lon Chaney in the original, Walter Huston in the remake) is an Evil Cripple who is paralyzed from the waist down. Sometimes he uses a wheelchair, but at other times he slithers around like a snake. | |

The Simpsons The Simpson family are forced by circumstances of the plot to steal all the Funzo toys that everyone has bought for their kids for Christmas, so Bart & Lisa distract the household by singing Christmas carols while Homer sneaks in Grinch-like, and at one point slithers around as the Grinch does. In the Harry Potter spoof, Smithers plays Voldemort's snake and is now called "Slithers". |

Sesame Street: There's one of the shorts from an earlier season about a snake called Sammy the Snake — who averts the trope because although he's a snake Muppet, he's not evil. He is an intentional aversion of the trope because Sesame Street goes to effort to portray things usually considered scary to children as friendly and approachable. | |

Harry Potter: The Hogwarts house of ambitious wizards (though it is also notorious for producing evil ones such as Voldemort) is called Slytherin. Pronounced "slither in," it invokes the trope. Its symbol is a snake. Alan Rickman pulls it off in live action as Snape, even though he's a Red Herring. The true villain, Voldemort, is supposed to be reptilian, but isn't nearly as slinky. |

Steven Universe: Lapis Lazuli's clothes tend to flow around a lot like her water. She's not all bad, but it does make her look more intimidating. The episode "Reformed" features Garnet, Amethyst, and Steven featuring a corrupted gem that moves so slinkily that Steven's nickname for it, "The Slinker," sticks. The slinker is rather ferocious and has no compunction against killing gems. |

The Jungle Book (1967) has the sneaky, hypnotic snake Kaa and the vicious tiger Shere Khan as the two main antagonists. The first one appears in two scenes where the animators clearly had a lot of fun animating his slithering motions, and the other is introduced in a scene where he crawls through tall grass to stalk a deer. | |

One Piece: Trebol, a member of the Donquixote Pirates, is a living nitrocellulose-man who moves around like a blob and has No Sense of Personal Space. Another from the same group, Senor Pink, is able to "swim" on hard surfaces such as stone floors or walls. Diamante of the same group is able to turn himself, or anything he touches, into fluttering like a flag. He not only moves swiftly with his "flat" form, but he also attacks swiftly and confusingly by turning his long sword into a Whip Sword. Boa sisters Sandersonia and Marigold both can turn into snakes, but Sonia is slinkier since she moves much faster and is able to evade lots of attacks at once, while Mari takes a slower and defensive approach. |

The Jungle Book (2016) plays with the trope - unlike his animated counterpart, this Shere Khan is no more slinky than is inherent in being a tiger and considerably less than the smaller, lither Bagheera. Kaa, on the other hand, is as slinky as can be (being a snake makes this somewhat inevitable.) | |

In both the original Clash of the Titans and the 2010 remake, Medusa is part snake and slinks evilly. | |

In The Book of Life, both death gods move slinkily, but cheating, sneaky Xibalba more than kind-natured La Muerte. | |

The Legend of Korra: The spirit Vaatu was all evil, all slink. Raava, who was not evil, tended to float and glide. Zuko's dragon has the "is a reptile" version of the slink but is not evil. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Slick, who caused Sunnyvale to turn musical was a literal dancing demon, and could slink even while standing still. A dancer was cast to play him. | |

The Frighteners: The Big Bad that plagued Frank and the town for most of the movie looked humanoid most of the time but could slink its way through cracks and crevasses at will. | |

The Little Mermaid (1989): Ursula the sea witch slunk like a pro on her octopus-like tentacles, even using her cave walls to really push the creepy and menacing effect. Flotsam & Jetsam are eels, coming by the slink naturally. | |

Smaug from The Hobbit also moves in a slinky, reptilian way, due to being a dragon with a serpentine body. According to Word of God, his name comes from the primitive Germanic word smúgan, meaning "to squeeze through a hole" (Gollum's other name, Sméagol, derives from the same word). Just as in Gollum's case, in The Film of the Book (specifically The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug), actor Benedict Cumberbatch had to crawl on all fours to create the motion capture reference. | |
