Whenever an army of evil creatures like Orcs and such is introduced, be sure that most of the time they will be armed with scimitars, falchions, sabers and other curved weapons. Alternatively, a particular evil character or warrior is armed with such a weapon to underline his bad guy status. Seen more often if the "good guys" or the "good army" wields straight swords. In many cases, expect the scimitar to be far broader towards the tip than at its base and have a scalloped back edge near its tip. Probably born from the European view of the Crusades, where Christians fought scimitar-wielding Muslims,note In actuality, Arabs and other predominantly Muslim peoples preferred the spear and straight sword as weapons for much of the Middle Ages, until curved swords became widespread under Turco-Mongol influence, while the Crusaders used curved or machete-like falchions alongside their own straight swords. or the Turkic raiders from the steppes such as the Tatars. Another possible influence could be cutlass-wielding pirates of 17th century Caribbean. In Chinese Wuxia novels and movies, straight double edged swords (jian, usually the taiji type which is thinner) are also preferred over large single edged swords (daidao), probably because it looks way cooler to beat someone who has a bigger sword. Also, adding to the realism, they don't use designer weapons they make up, but Real Life weapons that are roughly the correct size. Some older novels prefer heroes wielding a staff or a spear. Of course, this trope has one primary exception: if the hero comes from a place where scimitars and sabers are used as a "default," though in these cases it's more likely because everyone uses them. See also Weapon Specialization and Good Weapon, Evil Weapon. Expect to see it often in Qurac and in "Arabian Nights" Days settings. A possible modern day example of evil weapons having a "curve" to them can be found in many Kalashnikov type assault rifles, because the tapered 7.62x39 round they are chambered for gives the magazine a distinct curve. Compare and Contrast Katanas Are Just Better, which is the Far Eastern equivalent to this trope. Contrast to the inverse trope of Suave Sabre in which a curved blade is a mark of a noble warrior rather than a cruel one. Examples |

The 13th Warrior has the protagonist, Ahmad, struggling with the Viking sword. It's too heavy for him as he keeps on stumbling with his swings, unable to cut a wooden stake which one of his Viking companions had easily chopped off. So he grinds the sword to resemble a scimitar, and proceeds to chop the stake effortlessly. | |

Mount & Blade features scimitars as an available weapon choice, primarily belonging to the Khergit and Sarranid factions—neither of which are any more or less evil than any other kingdom in the setting. The player themselves can elect to carry one, as its speed and cutting power make it well suited to wiping out lightly armored archer units. | |

In the Dark Souls series, these come in two categories: the Curved Sword class weapons that are your standard fare like the "Scimitar" and the "Falchion", and the Curved Greatsword class weapons that have a little more swing speed than regular Greatswords. Both are known for having a higher chance of causing the "Bleed" status than most weapons and are often seen in the hands of Skeletons of both normal and giant size. Knight Lautrec of Carim is known to Dual Wield a pair of shotels, which have become a regular staple in the series. He's also quite the morally reprehensible guy, murdering the Guardian of Firelink Shrine bonfire halfway through the game. Zigzagged with Shiva of the East: his weapon of choice is the rare Murakumo (An oversized mix of katana and machete) and originally he was supposed to be a shady guy whose merchandise comes from the fresh corpses of other adventurers, but most content regarding him was cut. Gravelord Nito wields a giant curved sword which is highly poisonous and, most importantly, seemingly composed of bones and corpses mashed together. While he's a giant figure made of interwined skeletons and darkness, not to mention Lordran's equivalent of the god of Death, he's more of a neutral figure, which you have to slay for his Lord Soul. In the second game, the Flexile Sentinel is a grotesque, two-torsoed Lizard Folk tasked with corraling the Undead and take them to the Lost Bastille: the front body wields two gigantic curved swords you can forge for yourself. The second game, you can obtain the Nil Curved Greatsword as a treasure in the Frozen Eleum Loyce. Resembling a massive black scimitar crafted with earth and raw ore, it's kept in a frozen chest guarded by three dormant Soul Golems. While it's generally a good weapon, the description mentions how the Ivory King considered the weapon so evil and dangerous he decided to seal it away. (The only special power is the fact that it grows much stronger with each New Game + played). |

Cinder in RWBY is a villain and one of the most personally invested in taking down RWBY. While she can create and use a variety of weapons, she's been seen often using a scimitar to fight, such as at Haven against Jaune, and in Atlas she dual wields a pair while battling Penny and Winter. Ironically, it's eventually revealed that the scimitar was a gift from her mentor Rhodes who tried to help her escape from her abusive family, only for it to go horribly wrong. | |

Baldur's Gate II has the Spectral Brand, an enchanted scimitar that starts out as a +4 weapon but can be upgraded to a +5 with a Skull of the Lich. While the weapon's description calls it an unholy abomination that should never have been unleashed on the Realms, the good or evil nature of your party (and your gameplay choices) determines whether it's truly sinister or not. | |

Discworld: In Moving Pictures, Victor uses a scimitar in the click Sons of the Dessert. He's not impressed. In Jingo, 71-Hour Ahmed has a huge scimitar. Vimes considers it the opposite of a concealed weapon; the wielder is concealed by it. He actually does look like one of the bad guys at first, but he's really an honest cop trying to stop the war, essentially Vimes's Klatchian counterpart. He is still considerably more ruthless than Vimes, as well as an Assassin, but he's not a bad guy. In Monstrous Regiment the squad were originally intended to be pikemen, but due to a lack of supplies they ended up looting a bunch of sabres from a cavalry group they got the drop on. While Sergeant Jackrum wields a pair of cutlasses that are described as more like giant cleavers than swords. |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: King Katuunko of Toydaria carries a noticeably curved sword with him as both a symbol of status (offering it to Yoda as sign of alliance) and mean of self defense (briefly uses it to duel Savage Oppress). Katuunko himself is one of the noblest and most honorable characters in the show. | |

In Jingo, 71-Hour Ahmed has a huge scimitar. Vimes considers it the opposite of a concealed weapon; the wielder is concealed by it. He actually does look like one of the bad guys at first, but he's really an honest cop trying to stop the war, essentially Vimes's Klatchian counterpart. He is still considerably more ruthless than Vimes, as well as an Assassin, but he's not a bad guy. | |

There are a handful of scimitars to be found in Skyrim, most of which are wielded by redguard mercenaries who can be antagonistic towards the player, but will remain neutral unless you attack them first (or flat-out tell them that you're out for their blood). While nothing prevents a scimitar-wielding Dovahkiin from routinely slaughtering entire cities for shits and giggles, they are still a (designated) hero destined to prevent The End of the World as We Know It. The trope is however played straight with Velehk Sain, the pirate dremora, who dual wields scimitars. | |

Many of the 108 stars of Water Margin wield dao. Though they're technically outlaws, and many have questionable morals, they are ultimately the good guys.

By contrast, swords used by most of the other races tend to be straight, with some exceptions (in particular a large, vicious-looking blade with a serrated back). | |

The Apostle Nosferatu Zodd from Berserk never holds on a specific weapon choice, but everytime he shows up with a new sword, chances are he'll be using a curved, cleaver-like sword (and at least once, a Ram-dhao). And in an even better example, Griffith wielded a curved saber, contrasting Guts' humongous straight sword. | |

Some scimitars pop out as outstanding weapons in Gamaran: in one case (a very long sword with a massive, curved tip) is noted that the heavy tip can deliver massive damage. The other one (a more Arabian-like shamshir or an indian Tulwar) is only saw but not elaborated upon much as the wielder is killed by Muraku.. | |

The "Bandit" type Heartless found in Agrabah in Kingdom Hearts. Though, given that Guest-Star Party Member Aladdin also uses a Scimitar, it's likely simply the default sword for that world. Riku's Soul Eater resembles a falchion. As expected by the trope, he spends the first game in the darkness. He continues to wield it in Chain of Memories, but as he is skirting the road to the dawn, the weapon feels less sinister. By Kingdom Hearts II, it's become a Cool Keyblade called Way to the Dawn; while it IS inspired by the Soul Eater, it has a straighter blade and bears more light-based elements. |

From The Legend of Zelda: The Gerudo, denizens of the desert, most notably from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, are known to carry scimitars as weapons, and, in the latter game, Link can wield them himself, including the Scimitar of the Seven, a weapon wielded by the Gerudo Champion Urbosa. The Hyrulian Gerudo are never pure evil in and of themselves (Ganondorf notwithstanding, though he was never shown to wield a scimitar himself), though they do initially serve an antagonistic role in Ocarina of Time before Link earns their respect. In The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, the pirate Jolene wields a cutlass. She appears to have a limitless supply of them, considering she leaves one behind every time she loses to Link. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword features the boss Koloktos, a Multi-Armed and Dangerous ancient automaton that begins the battle fighting barehanded (at most, throwing ranged chakrams), but in the second half wields a giant scimitar in each hand. Link has to use the Whip to tear apart its limbs, and once it drops one of its scimitars, it turns out Link can just barely carry it and swing it around, and doesn't Koloktos itself look like a nice target? |

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: while pretty much all sword users employ straight greek blades, Kampe the Drakaena wields two massive scimitars (repeatedly described as such). As if the sinister part wasn't already emphasized by her monstrous appearence, she's also an extremely ruthless gaoler working for the Titans and her blades ooze green poison. After her death at the hundred hands of Bryares, her scimitars become part of the trophies of Halfblood Camp, though now are bent in a rough W shape. | |

Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger did this with the very first Sixth Ranger, Burai the Dragon Ranger. He wasn't an agent of Bandora from the start, but hated his brother Geki for an obvious reason. Apparently, Bandora made him a Sword of Demons to put him under her control, but the sword was destroyed by his tears when he was defeated by his brother. Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers kept this with Burai's American counterpart, Tommy Oliver, the Green Ranger. The blade was created to make sure his Brainwashed and Crazy status remained and was only freed when Jason separated him from the blade and destroyed it with his Power Blaster. |

Nothing says "Good Weapon" like a flowering tree branch with a blade made of pure water, and as the name implies, it acts as a catalyst for its wielder's incredible healing powers. As for said wielder, she's very much one of the good guys and a nice person deep down (if a bit rude and cynical at first), and healing is her specialty, to the point where she can completely reverse the damage caused by Malos' destructive powers, even with the aforementioned Monado. | |

Batman: The Animated Series: In "His Silicon Soul," when Batman fights Android Batman in the Bat Cave, Batman tries a surprise attack with a straight sword. Android Batman then takes a curved sword out of the weapons cabinet next to him and they clash blades a few times. While Android!Batman is a Tragic Villain, it is still murderous. | |

Salt and Sanctuary: curved swords are among the weapons to be found, with a particular example being the poisoned Virulent Scimitar, a curved blade which can ooze poison in the wounds. Other nasty examples include the backswords used by the marauders and the Seawolf Cutlass, a curved, jagged greatsword in possession of the Disemboweled Husk, the zombified, tortured remains of Captain Hager. | |

The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind's Tribunal expansion adds Ebony Schimitars, which are favored weapons of Almalexia's High Ordinators. Though they possess some of the same Knight Templar traits of the standard Ordinators, they are not inherently "sinister". There are a handful of scimitars to be found in Skyrim, most of which are wielded by redguard mercenaries who can be antagonistic towards the player, but will remain neutral unless you attack them first (or flat-out tell them that you're out for their blood). While nothing prevents a scimitar-wielding Dovahkiin from routinely slaughtering entire cities for shits and giggles, they are still a (designated) hero destined to prevent The End of the World as We Know It. The trope is however played straight with Velehk Sain, the pirate dremora, who dual wields scimitars. While not called scimitars, many of the swords and greatswords in the game have a slight curve and single cutting edge- namely the Orcish, Ebony, and Daedric, with the Falmer, Forsworn, and Noddic swords also looking somewhat like scimitars, albeit more primitive. |

One Piece: The pirate Porchemy carries a huge scimitar around, and has a penchant for scalping his victims alive. Cutlasses are often found for Mooks on both Pirates and Marines, although higher-ranking marines usually tend to go for Katanas, with the exception of a General Ripper by the name of Onigumo who wields eight of them when using his powers. |

Throughout most of the Final Fantasy series, Odin's instant-kill swords are often curved blades, often wicked into a rough lightning-like shape.

Played straight with God of War's Kratos who's still an Anti-Hero/Villain Protagonist and uses the curved (and multi-jagged) Blade of Chaos/Athena/Exile and, in the first game, Artemis' Sword. It's even shown in the comics that he used one when before meeting Ares. Also the Persian King and tons of scimitar-swinging mooks. | |

Averted and played straight in The Dark Elf Trilogy and the rest of The Legend of Drizzt. Drizzt Do'Urden (a dark elf but one of the most morally upright characters in whole series) wields twin scimitars, but so do some of the other drow. Note however that in contrast to the typical drow, Zaknafein used straight blades. | |

Another notable user is Yu Hua, who makes his second appearance wielding the "Blood-Curdling Divine Sword", a curved blade which can suddenly change size and whose blade is coated in a deadly poison which forcibly clots the blood of whoever it cuts. Near the end, Daji and her sisters attack the heroes in an ambush and Daji, The Corrupter of the three, uses two curved swords, while her sister the Jade Pipa Spirit wields a long dao adorned with bird engravings. | |

Vampire Hunter D: While D himself is an aversion, being an Anti-Hero at most and wielding an overly long two-handed saber, Rei from the first movie qualifes, being a villainous monster who wields a small curved sword he can unfold into a boomerang. | |

Miitopia has a boss that is a big sentient scimitar (though the game refers it as the "Sword"), which bears a stolen Mii face. It is fought with a sentient shield. Later in the game, smaller versions of it named Doom Swords and Spirit Swords appear. | |

Played with in the Forgotten Realms as Drizzt Do'Urden he is a good guy, fighting with two scimitars; many bad guys tend to use "straight" blades. However Drizzt is a Drow a usually seen as "evil" race who left the very evil city of Menzoberranzan where he grew up. So whilst he's not evil his fighting style is typical of a "bad guy" race. | |

In Mobile Fighter G Gundam, the Minaret Gundam has the Minaret Scimitar as its chief weapon. For an added bonus, its Dub Name Change is "Scimitar Gundam". | |

Majesty, Goblins are Always Chaotic Evil and their standard soldiers are armed with curved swords. By contrast, none of your heroes have such weapons. | |

In Belisarius Series both sides are likely to use curved swords. Belisarius himself on one occasion is noted as using a "Persian sword" instead of a Roman spatha. | |

Dragonlance: Nerakian warriors use scimitars. In one of the books a Solamnian Knight even calls them "Nerakian Rippers".note Note that even if some scimitars had a double edge they were usually used as sabers for slashing. | |

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai: Baran the Dragon Knight General of Hadler carries a massive falchion across his back, the hilt adorned with a dragon's head. He eventually clashes with Dai, who both times faces him with a straight sword instead. Also, the fake Hero who appears at the start of the story uses a cutlass instead of an heroic straight sword. | |

Both Altaïr and Ezio from Assassin's Creed have used curved blades. Also justified in the first game, which is taking place in the Holy Land after all. In Assassin's Creed III Connor has a nice selection of curved swords to choose from. And in ACIV Edward Kenway can dual wield a pair of pirate cutlasses. |

Mulan (2020), the Rouran's army seems to mostly employ curved swords with barbed ridges, while the Chinese army is mostly using straight swords and spears. Best seen in the final duel between Mulan (holding a jian) and a Bori Kahn (using the above-described sword). | |

A very common trope in the Fighting Fantasy series, where the hero usually gets a broadsword or a longsword and scimitars are often employed by enemies, such as the Lizard King, Balthus Dire and the High Priest of the Night Dragon's cult. Tellingly enough, the only gamebook where you start off with a scimitar is Seas of Blood, in which you play as a Villain Protagonist. | |
