An evil character, particularly his armor, will be covered in a mass of spikes, blades, horns, and spines that would make a porcupine jealous. Also, expect black and/or blood-red armor. The idea is to make sure the audience knows that this person or group is dangerous. Others might think it just looks cool. Such spikes or blades are often purely ornamental: despite the fact that they're sharp enough to pierce flesh, it's pretty rare for Spikes Of Villainy to be actually used in combat. Indeed, you would have to get to very close quarters in order to stick an opponent using spikes on your armor—meaning it probably would have been easier to stab them with a hand weapon—and their tendency to accidentally snag on things or poke allies next to you would be a nuisance, which is why in real life they were mostly confined to helmets and rarely used offensively. An exception to the ornamental rule is if spikes are found on a video game enemy, in which case they stand a very good chance of foiling would-be Goomba Stompers. Samurai are a potential exception whose spikes are not necessarily villainous. Historically, they did wear headgear impressively decorated with horns, spikes, and rings; modern depictions of samurai tend to be both heroic and spikey. A subtrope of Dress-Coded for Your Convenience and Evil Is Angular. May be complemented with Chained by Fashion, Fangs Are Evil, Flying Cutlery Spaceship, armor-mounted Femme Fatalons, or Ominous Opera Cape. Most likely used by a Tin Tyrant. See also Scary Impractical Armor. Not to be confused with Spikes of Doom. Sister Trope to Horns of Villainy; the two don't necessarily have to coincide. Savage Spiked Weapons, while not exclusively "evil", could be considered a weapon related cousin of this trope. |

Adventure Time has a particularly literal example of this trope. Ice King, who was the main recurring villain in early seasons, wears a spiky crown. It turns out that said spiky crown is, in fact, the actual villain — Ice King himself is merely Brainwashed and Crazy by it. | |

Megamind practically lives by this trope. Everything he owns is adorned with spikes - his outfits, his car, his robots, his weapons - even something as mundane as a pair of tongs he owned was adorned with spikes. None of them serve any purpose other than to make things look more "villain-y". | |

In the Australian horror film The Cars That Ate Paris, one of the eponymous cars is a Volkswagon Beetle covered in a forest of metal spikes that the villains use to Car Fu people. This is homaged in Mad Max: Fury Road where one of the desert gangs attacks Furiosa's Big Badass Rig with excessively-spiked Beetles and other vehicles. | |

The Darkspawn in Dragon Age. Everything they wear or carry around (weapons, shields) is adorned with spikes. They even build spiky altar-like structures wherever they camp and adorn statues from other civilizations with spikes wherever they go. Also, played with in Dragon Age II, where after you meet party member Fenris, Varric warns you that he wears spiky black leather. However, Fenris isn't particularly villainous - just an Anti-Hero with, as Varric puts it, "issues." | |

Rachel Summers original Hound uniform was depicted as black with metal studs around the neck and wrists, down her front, and along the outside of her arms and legs. Her Excalibur catsuit was an adaptation of this: red with spikes instead of studs, and none on the legs. Alan Davis consistently drew the black studded uniform in flashbacks, but other artists instead put Rachel in the very same red. The outfit mix-up may have started with Days of the Future Present, where Rachel refers to her costume as her "Hound uniform" even though it's really a variation. | |

Stryfe wears a spiky armored costume. To get an idea of just how invested Stryfe is in this trope, his spikes have spikes on them. |

Plus the big spiky dragon he rides, who is actually being a good guy stuck as a dragon due to Psycho Serum. Fire Emblem: Awakening: Walhart has thin spikes on his armour, and is a cruel conqueror who wants to take or defeat everything he sees. But if you recruit him, he becomes at least a little bit nicer. |

He has means and opportunity due to being caught on camera in the victim's apartment. Turns out he's the landlord there to finally address a complaint. He also moonlights as the announcer for women's wrestling and has good rapport with them. His body modification is just him asserting his individuality. | |

In Naruto, Pain has a bunch of spiky piercings in his face. There's also the ones in the faces of all his other bodies. They are made of special materials that act as receivers controlling said bodies from a remote location. For that matter, most of the second stage curse seals tends to be pretty pointy. | |

Discworld Queen Ynci's armor in Lords and Ladies, although she wasn't a villain, being the Lancre version of Boudicca. She was very fond of spikes though. Or probably would have been, had she not been entirely made up by a later king of Lancre who saw himself as a folk historian. Card-Carrying Villain Evil Harry Dread in The Last Hero has spiked shoulderpads and a helmet with a spiked skull and spiky batwings, none of which really stops him looking like a middle manager in an accountancy firm or something. |

The Elenium: Lampshaded in The Sapphire Rose, when they find the temple of the Big Bad guarded by warriors in heavily spiked and hooked armor, which the heroes laugh at — not only would the spikes get in the way of the wearer, they'd also serve to guide sword blows into weak spots in the armour. It turns out that they were created because the Big Bad was intimidated by the appearance of heavy armor, but did not understand it. Besides, it turns out the guards weren't intended to fight anyway. | |

Metalocalypse's Dethklok have this kind of design on their vehicles and other accessories. "Dethfone", a cell phone designed by them while drunk, has so many spiky bits that it's almost impossible to use without poking out one's own eye. Murderface uses it to kill a monster. The spikes are a send-up of Black Metal and its fans, and both fans and performers of the genre actually do dress like that, although Dethklok themselves are a death metal band. |

World of Warcraft: Some of the Warlock armor sets had spikes on them, which is to be expected as they use the powers of demons. Some of the more morally-neutral classes' armor have them also, as does armor which is not class-specific. They all look cool, but it makes you wonder about Blizzard... Wrath of the Lich King takes this trope to new heights with Saronite, a metal made from the blood of an Old God. Everything that's made of it looks very evil and spiky. Except, somewhat surprisingly, the Lich King himself. Other than a moderately spiky helm (very reminiscent of Sauron's from the movie), his armor works with a skull motif rather than spikes. The demonic Felguards have spikes on them growing from everywhere. That includes three huge spikes on the back (presumably the reason why they don't wear chest armor) and one horn on the forehead. Horde players can deck their garrison with as many spikes as they want. Zovaal the Jailer and his Mawsworn armies from Shadowlands are also spiked armor galore, in a film Sauron and Nazgûls way. Players can gain access to transmogs of them through the Torghast solo dungeon and the Sanctum of Domination raid dungeon. |

Skyrim: The dragons, creatures of aggression and domination for whom it's in their blood to be cruel and contemptuous, have naturally spiky appearances, some more so than others. Alduin, the World Eater, who is the "first born" of the dragons, is entirely black and spiky in appearance. The weapons, armor, chests, and huts of the Always Chaotic Evil Morlock-like Falmer in are all very spiky. Justified in that they are made with Chaurus chitin, which is spiky to begin with. |

Warcraft: The Horde held onto their spikes even when the race pulled a Heel–Face Turn after the first few games. Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos: It's a game mechanic (though the orcs, are for the most part, no longer evil in this game), where the orcs' defensive upgrade, Spiked Barricades, deal damage back to melee attackers. Also, the Undead Crypt Lord has the Spiked Carapace ability, which increases defense and also deals damage to melee attackers.

Overlord: as you do evil deeds and your Corruption Level rises, you grow spikes and spines all over your body, particularly on the shoulders, which get bigger as your villainy increases.

Wodan Ymir from Super Robot Wars wears spikes on his armor and is on the Shadow Mirror side, and he is Sanger's Evil Counterpart. However, he's not 100% evil. The Zehirut is covered in spike-like crystals and is piloted by a major antagonist in Shin Super Robot Wars and Super Robot Wars Alpha 1, Commander Laodecia Judecca Gozzo. |

Ghost Rider is often depicted with small spikes, as benefits an Anti-Hero biker. In contrast, his Evil Knockoff Vengeance has two-foot shoulder spikes and a spike mohawk growing out of his Flaming Skull. He's also been known to intentionally impale victims on his shoulder spikes. | |

The make practical use of its spikes in both the fluff and the stats, using them as weapons and as something to hold dead bodies with. There are several types of devils that have spikes growing out of their skin. The Spined Devil is simply a winged mass of spikes. Hellfire wyrms are evil dragons from Hell whose necks, backs and shoulders bristle with vicious spikes. Soulspike devourers are towering skeletal undead with souls impaled on the massive bony spikes coming out of their bodies. They're Always Chaotic Evil horrors that rips souls out of people and causes them immense agony when they shoves them on their spikes.

In Fallout 3, one of the Ax-Crazy Raider armors is aptly named "Raider Painspike Armor". Semi-example would be the Tribal Power Armor and Ashur's Power Armor from Fallout 3's DLC, The Pitt. Highly stylized PA sporting makeshift repair that included a horned cow skull, the Tribal PA doesn't do melee damage like the Painspike does, and for a PA, it has the lowest Defense Rating. However, it does give you +15 AP to be lined up for those satisfying VATS kills. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The original designs had Fire Nation characters, especially in regards to Prince Zuko, sport spiky, red armor. This was scrapped and came to receive an internal Take That! in the actual series when Sokka mocks the fact that the Water Tribe has Fire Nation uniforms that are almost a century out of date by sproinging the spikes on the shoulders. The current armor still has spikes on the scary masks the Faceless Goons wear, and Aang actually uses one to cut the rope tying his hands after beating the other guards. Another parody came when Team Avatar was in a weapon shop and Aang was wearing a ridiculously large set of armor that even has a spike with a buzzsaw in it. It was even accompanied by a metal riff (which is incredibly out of place in this series). Said costume was included because the merchandisers tried to insist that Aang wear one like that for his battles, despite the fact that it's completely against his fighting style. |

Super Mario Bros.: Bowser has a shell cover in sharp spikes. His Giga Bowser form in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl takes this and runs with it, pumping his spikiness up to Kaiju levels. Super Mario Bros. 3: Boom-Boom and the Koopalings have similar spikes. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: Bowser's horns are his equivalent to Mario & Luigi's mustaches in that they have their own stat which are the Luck stat of the game. Super Mario Galaxy: Bowser gains the ability to grow spikes out of his abdomen during the final boss battle. Paper Mario: In the first three games, enemy Koopa Troopas wear spiked black collars and bracelets along with Sinister Shades to distinguish them from friendly NPC Koopas. |

Girl Genius: Jägers, while not evil as such, like this style. Although he's one of the good guys, Gil receives some spare epically spikey shoulder pads as they were the only clothing on hand at the time. Even the hat has spikes of its own. Later, one Jäger general wears long, bone-looking shoulder spikes. At least in his case, these are quite functional. Agatha's Humongous Mecha here has spikes on it. Well, she is the protagonist, but she is also a Heterodyne. Professor Blintzie von Wyrmhaut has long, dangerous-looking spikes sprouting from the shoulders of her coat, and smaller ones from the top of her thigh-high boots. And she's certainly a dangerous and amoral Spark. Although in her line of work (which include hunting monsters), the spikes are certainly justified as a defense against being swallowed whole. |

Queen Ynci's armor in Lords and Ladies, although she wasn't a villain, being the Lancre version of Boudicca. She was very fond of spikes though. Or probably would have been, had she not been entirely made up by a later king of Lancre who saw himself as a folk historian. | |

The Elder Scrolls Throughout the series, Daedric equipment tends to be very spiky. Daedric equipment is forged using ebony which has been in some way imbued with the souls of lesser Daedra. In each game where it is found, Daedric is typically the highest tier non-unique crafting material available. It is also the trademark gear of the Dremora, a sentient race of lesser Daedra typically found in service to Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince of Destruction and one of the few Daedric Princes to be seen as almost wholly evil by the denizens of Tamriel. This is also a trait of Daedroths, a crocodilian form of lesser Daedra typically found in service to Molag Bal. They tend to have a very spiky appearance and are near-universally hostile to mortals. Hungers are another form of lesser Daedra, looking very similar in appearance to the "alien-style" Chupacabra, complete with claws, a "sucker" mouth, and a row of razor sharp spikes down their backs. They are in service to Boethiah, the Daedric Prince of Plots. Ogrim are yet another form of lesser Daedra, being massive and as dim-witted as they are strong. They too have spiky appearances (especially in Online) and are near-universally hostile to mortals. In Oblivion's Knights of the Nine expansion, Big Bad Umaril the Unfeathered has unfeathered wings which come across looking like spikes. Skyrim: The dragons, creatures of aggression and domination for whom it's in their blood to be cruel and contemptuous, have naturally spiky appearances, some more so than others. Alduin, the World Eater, who is the "first born" of the dragons, is entirely black and spiky in appearance. The weapons, armor, chests, and huts of the Always Chaotic Evil Morlock-like Falmer in are all very spiky. Justified in that they are made with Chaurus chitin, which is spiky to begin with. Online introduces Daedric Titans, a form of lesser Daedra created by Molag Bal by corrupting dragons. They manage to be even spikier than the already very spiky standard dragons. In the Battlespire Dungeon Crawler spin-off game, this is a trait of the Morphoid Daedra, lesser Daedra in service to Big Bad Mehrunes Dagon. |

Godzilla both uses and subverts this one: the man himself is fairly spiky, and ranges from badass villain to badass Anti-Hero to child-friendly Super Hero. Anguiras, the spikiest monster of all, is almost always good and functions as Godzilla's Sidekick at times. Gigan, meanwhile, is always evil, has spikes for hands, a spike on his head, spiky wings, and a buzzsaw in his stomach. And Big Bad King Ghidorah is only slightly spiky. SpaceGodzilla, Godzilla's evil clone from Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, has two massive spikes on his shoulders, a crown-like spike on his head, and several small spikes at the tip of his tail. Destoroyah of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah is quite spiky, and he's definitely one of the more evil monsters. |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Shredder's weapons were conceived when someone wondered what it would be like to have cheese graters on their arms. (Whether the armor was actually functional as a weapon or whether it was just ornamental depended on the continuity; in some versions, it was just for show, and he used standard archaic weapons like swords most of the time, while in others, the armor was indeed useful as an offensive weapon.) Slash, a recurring Evil Counterpart rival to the Turtles, is often depicted with spikes on his shell across various continuities. While he's usually more of an Anti-Hero than a villain, the spikes still emphasize his brutal nature and power compared to the Turtles' use of martial arts and teamwork. Sometimes the spikes are subdued and a natural part of his shell, similar to the snapping turtle he's based off of. Other times, they're obvious sharp spines of a different colour growing straight out of his shell. |

Game of Thrones: Being made entirely of swords, the Iron Throne reeks of this trope. However, by all accounts, Aegon the Conqueror was a surprisingly good monarch who fashioned it not just to symbolize his power but also as a reminder that a king should never sit easy. His successors, ranging from The Good King to The Caligula, all sat on the same throne. Joffrey plays it straight, however, adding spikey braziers to the pillars of the throne room. Although not literal spikes, Sansa's Evil Costume Switch has this appearance thanks to the feathers on her shoulders. |

Most of the invading Machines in Mini Robot Wars have spikes on them, but some get more spikes as they get stronger. Smasher (the basic enemy unit) has a stronger version called the Heavy Smasher, which is black and has more health and more spikes. An even stronger version is called the Mega Smasher, which is purple, has more attack power and health, and...even more spikes. Then there is the Giant, which has an upgraded form called the Titan, which is green, has more health, can pull a One-Hit Kill on THREE of your units instead of just one, and has more spikes. Even the True Final Boss plays with this. Compared to the Disc-One Final Boss, it is blue, has more health, attacks faster...and has more spikes. |

Both Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 use this a lot: All of Chaos, but especially worshippers of Khorne. They actually use the spikes on their armor and vehicles to impale the heads of slain foes/victims and eventually make a gruesome trophy rack. At least one Chaos army book has included "Spiky Bits" as a piece of equipment that makes its bearer more effective in combat. That guy up there in the picture? He's a good example (...and named Engra Deathsword, of course). In the 40k tie-in game Dawn of War, the Orks derisively refer to Chaos Space Marines as "spiky boyz"; in Dawn of War II, this trope is actually lampshaded by the Ork Mekboy. Also a massive case of hypocrisy on the orks' part, as they are quite fond of adding spiky bits on their guns, armor and vehicles: there's nothing more practical for impaling a particularly impressive foe's skull after you've killed it (or helping to kill it, for that matter). Some Age of Sigmar Khorne characters such as the Slaughterpreist have the spikes either implanted into or growing out of their bodies. The Orcs (or Orks) in both series, to a lesser extent. Sometimes the spikes are from some ugly spiked creature (of which the universe has no shortage) to show the wearer is able to kill something bigger and meaner than himself. The Dark Elves/Eldar actually use blades instead of spikes, but otherwise have this trope in spades. The Lizardmen can rival Chaos in the spikes department, though, especially because all of their melee weapons are spiked clubs...though they're not as evil. The Chaos example is almost lampshaded in Fulgrim. When describing one of the first Noise Marines, literally the first thing mentioned is that he's added 'jagged iron spikes' to his power armour. |

Most of the dragons in How to Train Your Dragon combine this with lots and lots of sharp, spiky teeth. In an interesting twist, the fastest, most maneuverable, and arguably the deadliest one, Toothless the Night Fury, forgoes the spikes for a more streamlined look. Not surprisingly, he's the first sympathetic dragon that the viewers encounter. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: King Sombra has a crown adorned with spikes. Even more prominent is his unicorn horn, which is so curved and sharp that it more closely resembles a spike that's been driven through his head. In "Inspiration Manifestation", as if the book hidden behind a wall on a pedestal over a pit weren't suspicious enough, it has these on the cover. |

Doctor Who: The Daleks have Spikes Of Villainy in their DNA. It certainly explains them being Always Chaotic Evil. Just remember, Thal DNA would have the same structure; it's for the whole planet Skaro. "Demons of the Punjab": The Thijarians have a very spiky appearance, appropriate for the universe's best assassins. It turns out to be a subversion, however, as they've become atoners and their intentions are far less sinister than they seem. |

Diablo: Diablo II has Antiheroic examples; Necromancer and Assassin can get armors festooned with Spikes. Though not the villains, neither of them explicitly deny evil motives and revel in evil methods. Diablo III has two characters who are the Big Bads of the vanilla and the Reaper of souls expansion. Diablo himself once he possesses Leah and becomes the Prime Evil has organic spikes across his body. In the Reaper of souls expansion is Malthael who has spiked gauntlets, shown prominently when he steals the Black Soulstone. |

When Supergirl becomes infected with Joker Venom during her "Year of the Villain" tie-in, she dons a costume covered with sharp spikes. Red Daughter of Krypton has a genocidal alien race called Diasporans whose heads sport two pairs of ram horns. The Killers of Krypton: Sharp crystal spikes protrude from Empress Gandelo's head, shoulders and arms. |

Star Wars Legends series Legacy: Darth Krayt's armour is covered with spikes, some of which are parasitic Yuuzhan Vong implants growing out of his body. Many of his Sith minions emulate his fashion sense to a lesser degree, minus the parasites. After coming back from the dead and purging himself of the implants, Krayt ditches his old armour for a less-spiky one. | |

The Zeons from Mobile Suit Gundam. The massproduced Zaku II mobile suit used by the Mooks as well as the limited production Gouf have spiked Shoulders of Doom as one of their most memorable features. This starts to thin out towards the end of the series as the aging Zakus are replaced by the more powerful Rick Doms & Gelgoogs (both spike-free, though the latter do have rather pointy shoulders). This trope shows up now and then in later Gundam shows, especially if they feature a mobile suit that is an Expy of the Zaku. | |

Dark Souls has the infamous Darkwraith Kirk though he's actually a Chaos Servant, and by the time of Dark Souls III, Rosaria's Finger, The Knight of Thorns. His armor set is one of the few examples where spiky armor is actually used in combat, as you can roll into enemies to damage them (it's minimal damage at best, but still). Even his sword is spiky and is the only straight sword in the game which causes bleeding. | |

Primarily the Decepticons in various Transformers animated titles. Transformers: Cybertron: As a result of rebuilding himself with pieces of Unicron's body and absorbing what remained of the dark god's power, Galvatron sports demonic horns and numerous spikes. Unicron himself features these. Transformers: Animated: Megatron starts out spiky but trades them in for Vertical Mecha Fins and a more G1-esque look overall. Lockdown and Oil Slick have smaller spikes on their armour. Transformers: Prime: Megatron's robot mode is pre-Earth Animated Megs with some Bayformers touches. |

In the first two episodes of Happy Heroes, Big M. has spiky shoulder pads on his suit of armor. He does not have these shoulder pads in any later episodes. | |

Saint Seiya: The Sanctuary's Pope. During his more benign days, he tends to wear a golden (but not Gold) helm with extremely wide shoulderguards. When he goes evil, these shoulderguards come with gigantic spikes that make him almost as wide as he is tall. | |
