Greed, or avarice, is the desire for large amounts of money and material possessions. While there is nothing inherently wrong with simply attempting to earn more money to make oneself better off, greed applies when one attempts to garner ever greater amounts of possessions and money simply for the sake of having more than everyone else. The thing about Greed is that it's never satisfied — as soon as the thing sought after is obtained, the obtainer starts craving more, and more, and more, ad infinitum. It's an addiction. Greed is the main motivation of the Corrupt Corporate Executive. It is also a Fatal Flaw of the Miser Advisor, and commonly of a Mr. Vice Guy; in the cases of these characters, they usually learn a valuable lesson at some point about what's really important. The Gold Digger is motivated by Greed — as is, often enough, the Black Widow. The Spoiled Brat is also motivated largely by Greed, but not a small bit of Pride is also a factor, which causes them to fly off the handle when they are denied what they want. A character defined by Greed often has a Money Fetish. This trope can be the reason behind characters who are Only in It for the Money. Greedy villains often try to bribe the hero, a tactic in which they have great confidence. After all, justice and even Revenge aren't shiny, and don't get a very good exchange rate. When The Hero turns down the Briefcase Full of Money, it can be a great shock. Obviously, bribes work great on them. Villains — and heroes — seemingly afflicted by Greed can be humanized by demonstrating that it is not the money they are after; they need it to buy something of actual value. At the same time, their Greed may threaten to transform their goal into a Tragic Dream. Villains may also want it not for itself but for equally villainous reasons — to effect Revenge, to live the slothful life of the Idle Rich — which changes the motivation without making it less evil. Greedy characters, including villains, will often ally with heroes to defeat more destructive or nihilistic villains whose plans would generally make the world a less pleasant place to live in. May lead to Death by Materialism. Gold Fever, Loves Only Gold, Greed Makes You Dumb, Hoarding the Profits, and Only Cares About Inheritance are all SubTropes. Often goes hand in hand with gluttony. Compare Lust, which is desire for abstract concepts and feelings as opposed to material possessions. If a greedy character is featured in a musical, expect a Money Song. For the less sophisticated, there's Giant Food. Compare Love Hungry. One of the Seven Deadly Sins, traditionally represented by the demon Mammon. For the classic silent film on the subject, see Greed. For the Chuck Woolery game show, see Greed. For the 2019 film, see here. noreallife |

Human greed is what destroyed the Inak homelands. When they were unearthed they had many first materials, so people killed them and destroyed their villages for it. Then forced the survivors to convert to their religion and be second class citizens treated like slaves. | |

The Caper | |
| Greed / int_1b65eaf3 | comment |
During The Caper of the third book (aimed at the aforementioned Mammon), the group's tunnel-digger is a green devil called Charon, who finds Mammon's greed inspirational and aspires to the same heights of avarice and self-interest. He sees robbing Mammon to be a way to prove himself to be equally ruthless and self-interested. Despite being a bit of a coward, Charon ironically turns out to be one of the more trustworthy of the Caper Crew and never gets the chance to backstab anyone. | |

Greed also dies for good due to entirely selfless reasons — though he'd probably protest it and rationalize it as "getting revenge by proxy/taking care of his possessions". | |

Oddly enough, despite being the bearer of the Element of Generosity, Rarity has a bit of avarice herself. She is the Element of Generosity for a reason. She will freely give her time and services to her friends, but has realistic struggles due to being a bit of a Ms. Vice Gal. She expects to get, well, something, anything for her time. |

Noodle Incident | |
| Greed / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
"A good candy taken in greed always turns sour." Greed is a recurring theme in conjunction with candy hunting. Number 5's old partner-now-rival Heinrich uncovered a tomb of candy but ignored the warning "Share not, and only taste asparagus," which sure enough happened when he refuses to share the candy. When a candy pirate named Black John didn't share the licorice he cut down on an island but hoarded "it all for himself," he and his crew were cursed by being pretty much turned into licorice. The Noodle Incident at Guatemala also turned out to be Heinrich performing a ritual to get perfect caramel that cursed him at the same time; the only way to break the curse is to share the caramel. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
| Greed / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
King Midas from Greek Mythology. When he offers hospitality to a Satyr of the Greek god Dionysus, Dionysus rewards him by granting him any wish he pleases. King Midas wishes for the power to turn everything into gold, and King Dionysus grants it. At first, Midas is happy and overjoyed, turning everything in sight into gold. However, he soon finds out he can't eat nor drink, for anything he tries to swallow also turns to gold. Eventually, he turns his daughter into gold by accident, leading him to beg for Dionysus to take back his wish and reverse everything, to which Dionysus obliges. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Greed / int_617f0563 | comment |
Lord Tirek's defining character trait is his greed. He feels like he's entitled to all the magic in Equestria and that it should have been his for the thousand-plus years he was imprisoned. His greed is so immense that he was willing to refuse his own brother's attempt to make him perform a Heel–Face Turn to continue his pursuit of it and his argument to Discord to make him do a Face–Heel Turn was incredibly self centered and basically amounted to saying 'you should be able to do whatever you want without having to worry about anyone else'. And, despite being incredibly bitter at Scorpan for betraying him, is more than willing to stab Discord himself in the back so he can have his power too. In the end, all Tirek cares about is hording all the power in the world for himself. | |

The Ferengi (see below) would disagree vehemently. While "Peace is good for business" is one of the most important Rules of Acquisition, the very next rule is "War is good for business", and they would know. | |

Antagonistic Governor | |
| Greed / int_70d2bc73 | comment |
Luz also doubts that she could sue for peace with the other 2 teams because the prize money promised by the Antagonistic Governor would make them cave in and kill one another for his sick amusement. Not that he had any intention on paying up. She's later proven right as they pull an Enemy Mine and wipe out half her team to try and get her after the governor jacks up the price for Luz's head to $1.1 Billion. Kennedy, the ringleader, also had no intention of sharing any of it with any of his comrades. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder | |
| Greed / int_7c862b8a | comment |
Doubledealer, a two-faced scoundrel with no loyalties to anything other than who can give him the most power and Energon. Doesn't have a single qualm betraying anyone as long as it's worth more money, more fuel, more something. In one continuity, this results in his messy end when someone finally figures that there is no line Doubledealer won't cross in his greed and throws (well, blasts) him off a mountain. He's not even a Decepticon (though his toys typically listed him as such): he's too greedy (and consequently lacking in loyalty) for the group known for Chronic Backstabbing Disorder to put up with him for long. | |

Tragic Hero | |
| Greed / int_820133fd | comment |
As a bit of a Tragic Hero, the top thing Larfleeze wants is the only thing he really wants, his family. In the end, he is reunited with them... and then promptly falls back into stealing and hoarding because old habits die hard. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
| Greed / int_8409a385 | comment |
Greed, as his name would imply, and he provided the page quote. However, the positive qualities related to his sin are also inspected: He is so possessive over his minions that it crosses to being actual loyalty and caring. Even Greed himself eventually addresses the fact that while things like wanting money, food, power, etc. seem worlds apart from wanting to protect people, they're also still both forms of desire. In addition, despite his desire for "Money, food, women, everything!", he's able to keep his desire under enough control that it doesn't ruin him, and he ends up working for the good guys (under the guise that they work for him, of course). However, he is quick to point out the positives as well, things most people don't even think of. | |

The Embodiment of Greed in Widdershins is an Affably Evil spirit who loves Leonine Contracts but is single-minded enough to bargain for pocket change as long as it's the person's last penny. | |

Power Parasite | |
| Greed / int_9c649587 | comment |
Luz believes that her All For One Quirk is the symbol of Greed after learning about its Power Parasite nature, allowing them to amass unchecked power at a whim. Shigaraki doesn't deny this. As the story goes on, being influenced by not only a Quirk that makes you think and shapes your belief structure to assume that everything belongs to you, including other people's lives, and having a Manipulative Bastard living rent-free in her head, leads to her taking more powers than her body can handle and even some Kick the Dog moments. | |

Mammon | |
| Greed / int_a9646938 | comment |
The Demiurge Mammon represents the sin of greed amongst the seven remaining Demiurges. Driven by ambition to obtain power and wealth, he murdered his own family in order to have no distractions on his path to godhood. He presently controls much of the economy of Throne, as well as mints its dominant coinage, through the Infinite Bank that he rules as a Corporate Dragon. When Allison finally comes face-to-face with him she finds that Mammon has been reduced to a senile, blind husk of his former self, reduced by The Fog of Ages to meaninglessly count the infinite wealth inside his vault while having entirely forgotten why he accrued it all in the first place. In one of his more lucid moments he asks Allison to kill him. | |

Daffy Duck desires material wealth as much as he desires the cheering and worshipping of others. Whenever he sees something shiny he goes completely, hysterically ballistic and doesn't pay any attention to whether the other person in the same vicinity has noticed it or cares about it, for him it is taken for granted that they 'll want to claim his gold. | |

Stupid Evil | |
| Greed / int_affd30b0 | comment |
Earlier before the cave scene, Medusa rudely turned down Snoops' offer of selling away the lesser, more numerous diamonds that Penny had already brought up before despite the fact that they could potentially become significantly richer doing so; this all proves that Medusa's greed knows no bounds and causes her to become Stupid Evil, which eventually leads to her downfall. | |

Pride | |
| Greed / int_c39846a3 | comment |
Griffins, too, are immensely greedy, to the point of being explicitly compared to dragons. It is this racial vice, along with Pride, that caused the downfall of the kingdom of Griffonstone after the theft of the symbol of their unity, the Idol of Boreas. Present-day Griffonstone is a miserable dump whose inhabitants are obsessed with money and who refuse to cooperate with anybody, over anything, unless they're getting paid for it. One griffin in particular seems especially obsessed with getting paid, even to the point where she leaves Rainbow Dash to her probable death because she had no more money to give. |

Moral Event Horizon | |
| Greed / int_c4240537 | comment |
Mr. Krabs put a toe over the Moral Event Horizon when he sold his most loyal employee, SpongeBob, to the Flying Dutchman for the grand total of... everything in the Dutchman's pockets, which was sixty-two cents. Even Squidward, who hates SpongeBob, called him out on it. Cue My God, What Have I Done?...and then the Flying Dutchman dumps SpongeBob back onto Mr. Krabs, partly because Status Quo Is God, but mostly because he's too damn annoying to keep in Davy Jones' locker. | |

Lawful Evil | |
| Greed / int_d495c874 | comment |
Greed is said to be the defining trait of Tiamat, the Lawful Evil god of chromatic dragons. Since chromatic dragons are naturally greedy creatures, Tiamat is the worst of them all. The acclimation of wealth is said to be her goal above all else, and she will abandon any sort of plan if it means getting even more of it. Her Dragon Hoard is said to be the treasures of a hundred worlds of the multiverse, despite the fact that she has nothing to use all that treasure for. Tiamat wants more just because it's more; that's the beginning and end of it. And just as an exclamation point, Tiamat's lair is known as "the Cave of Greed".invoked | |

A Dick in Name | |
| Greed / int_e13b799 | comment |
One-off villain Dick Hardly is even worse than Princess Morbucks in terms of greed and every other villain in terms of pure malicious crimes. His sole appearance is him manipulating the girls into giving him Chemical-X just to make deliberately shoddy knock-offs of the girls just out of pure sociopathic greed, with his greed and overall villainy getting progressively worse as the episode continues, to the point of becoming a literal monster after swallowing a bottle of Chemical-X when he refused to give it back to the girls. Thankfully, his botched creations all ended up killing him at the end, being one of the very few characters to die in the series. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |

It's almost a case of Blue-and-Orange Morality for them, as any action which is not profit-seeking is seen as disgraceful (whether it was acting out of Charity or Revenge, if there's no profit to be made, it's just WRONG). | |
