Villainous pets come in different flavors. When the villain's pet is mostly sedentary and largely does not play an active role in the plot, you have a Right-Hand Cat. When the villain's pet is an active fighter/guard against the heroes, you have a Right-Hand Attack Dog. When the villain's pet is the key reason why he is a threat in the first place, you have a case of Villain Holds the Leash. Whilst the pet is only obeying its master's orders, its presence greatly increases the villain's threat level. Maybe the pet has some sort of ability that is crucial to the Evil Plan. Maybe the villain needs its presence to keep his human minions in line. Or maybe their master is simply a Non-Action Big Bad who needs the beast as muscle. In a nutshell, whilst the human villain is the one giving the commands, the pet is the main antagonistic force in the plot. This can vary from an Evil Overlord with a dragon, a Mad Scientist with a genetically engineered monster, a Corrupt Corporate Executive Rich Bitch with a Mister Muffykins to a street gang with an Angry Guard Dog. The defining factor of a case of Villain Holds The Leash is that, without the pet, the master is much less of a threat. The pet is the main asset in the villains' operation - with its defeat, their powerbase decreases significantly and they are far easier to dispose of. Exactly how the villain ended up holding the leash varies. Sometimes, the pet is loyal to the villain - often ferociously so - and serves them of their own free will. In other cases, the pet's loyalty has been forced, either through abusive treatment or through mind control by either magical or scientific means. If it's any of the latter two instances, expect the attack dog to turn on its master, either killing them or abandoning them to their fate once freed of their control. See also Shark Pool (where the villains' pet is mostly sedentary), Action Pet, Kid with the Leash, Fluffy Tamer and especially The Beastmaster and/or Squishy Wizard, whom these kinds of villain usually tend to be. Compare The Dog Was the Mastermind for works where the pet is the Big Bad, rather than its owner. |

Professor Ratigan, archnemesis of Basil of Baker Street in The Great Mouse Detective, uses a bloated cat named Felicia as his primary enforcer, using her to threaten Mr. Flaversham into co-operating, attempting to kill the Mouse Queen, and to keep his minions in line - often feeding her underlings who disappoint him, such as unfortunate Bartholomew and, very nearly, Fidget. | |

In the Godzilla (IDW Publishing) comics, there are multiple cases of this, as per the franchise's tradition. Battra and Rodan serve as Minette and Mallorie's attack dogs in Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters. There's also a rare heroic case of this trope in the US Government and Mechagodzilla. There are multiple cases of this kind of villain in the different arcs of Godzilla: Rulers of Earth - overall, Gigan acts as the main asset in the arsenal of Rhizon's faction of Cryog. Destoroyah, Titanosaurus, Manda and Gezora serve as the Devonians' main weapons in the first arc - Destoroyah in particular, is their strongest kaiju, being so powerful that he manages to nearly kill Godzilla. For the Cryog, Gigan is joined by Orga. The Mechagodzilla army and Mecha-King Ghidorah serve as the primary weapons of Rhizon and Minette and Mallorie in the second arc. Once Minette and Mallorie are abandoned by Rhizon, Battra serves as their main weapon once more. In the concluding arc, the Trilopods (especially Magita) serve as the primary weapons to the Cryog Emperor Karkaro - their threat is so great that all of Earth's monsters have to ally against them. |

The Whisperers from The Walking Dead are not exactly harmless, but in a fight they're mostly reliant on sneakiness and guile; their zombie disguises allow them to blend in with a crowd of zombies and then catch opponents by surprise. Without this tactic, most members have the fighting ability of an average human armed with a kitchen knife. What makes them truly dangerous is the half-trained herd of thousands of zombies that they can steer towards their enemies. | |

In Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Vazquez is the one in charge of the dogfighting operation, but it's only thanks to his pet Doberman El Diablo that he's able to be of remotely any threat to the good guys. And while Vazquez does manage to be the main antagonist on the human side of the story, he still has a rather meagre amount of screen time compared to El Diablo, who is able to frequently interact on a direct basis with the story's heroes that are also dogs and has a personal history with the German shepherd Delgado due to El Diablo having previously killed Delgado's owner and (in a roundabout way) gotten Delgado himself removed from the police force. And ultimately, Vazquez is swiftly defeated the instant El Diablo is put out of commission. | |

Mechagodzilla is almost always used by this kind of villain, starting out as the main weapon of the Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla and Terror of Mechagodzilla. In the latter, he is joined by Titanosaurus. In Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II and the Kiryu duology, he serves as the main weapon of the JSDF. | |

In The Irregular at Magic High School, the Yotsuba clan were already a significant threat, but not at planet-killing level until they made a deal/ritual/project to empower one of their unborn children with Physical God-like magic. Most of the clan wanted to abort the baby once they realized how powerful it would be, but everyone else's greed and paranoia won out, so now they have an Anti-Anti-Christ hanging around...waiting for an opportunity to slip the leash. They haven't slept well since. | |

Marcel and Nigel from Rio are a downplayed case. While Marcel still drives the plot to some degree, Nigel is the main asset of the bird-smuggling operation and is far more effective than his master's human lackeys; in particular, he is the lynchpin of the break-in that allows the smugglers to capture Blu and Jewel. | |

Tod Robbins' short story "Spurs" (on which Tod Brownings' Freaks is loosely based) has the Villain Protagonist dwarf owning a very large, fearsome dog, which he rides atop as part of his "errant knight" gimmick in the circus sideshow. Said dog is 95% of how he coerces the bareback rider Jeanne-Marine into staying in an abusive marriage with him. | |

The Decepticons initially have this relationship with Predaking, an ancient Cybertronian cloned from fossilised remains in Season 3 of Transformers: Prime, and plan to clone more like him. However, when he turns out to be sapient, they begin to have second thoughts and terminate the remaining clones, leading to him turning against them, massacring a good portion of their troops and almost defeating Megatron in battle. | |

Dragons served as the main guarantor of the Targaryens' power for most of their dynasty's reign in A Song of Ice and Fire, due to their Fantastic Nuke status. Rather sadly, this meant that they never built up any form of institutional bureaucracy which would give them power independent of the dragons. After the dragons died out, the Targaryen dynasty went through a downward spiral that culminated in its end. | |

This trope is common in Godzilla films. In many films, the villains have taken control of a giant monster in order to Take Over the World, and the main objective of the heroes is often to help Godzilla defeat the monster, or to destroy the villains' control over the monster. Here are some examples: King Ghidorah often served this kind of villain - the Xilliens in Invasion of Astro-Monster, the Kilaaks in Destroy All Monsters and Wilson and Grenchko in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. In Godzilla vs. Gigan, Ghidorah is joined by Gigan in serving the Space Hunter Nebula M Aliens. Mechagodzilla is almost always used by this kind of villain, starting out as the main weapon of the Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla and Terror of Mechagodzilla. In the latter, he is joined by Titanosaurus. In Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II and the Kiryu duology, he serves as the main weapon of the JSDF. The Xiliens in Godzilla: Final Wars control many monsters, but Monster X is the strongest of them. Alan Jonah and Emma Russell attempt to be this for King Ghidorah in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) and to a lesser extent the other Titans.

Whilst Daenerys had already gained the loyalty of the Dothraki and the Unsullied before they were big enough to be weaponized, once the dragons are weaponized, her military power increases considerably, allowing her to curbstomp armies and destroy cities with ease. | |

In "The Devils Here", the second part of the finale arc of Prehistoric Earth, whilst the Novum board's black-ops squad are technically the main antagonists, it is the young female T-rex that they have released in the park that is the primary threat. In a heroic example, it is unclear how the park staff could have stopped the mass breakout or Frank and Percival's scheme without the allosaurs Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion. |

Through out Pokémon: The Series, quite predictably due to the Mon premise, most bad guys' threat level depends on the power and skill of the Pokemon they have. Most main arc villains' schemes involve them taking control of a powerful Pokemon as muscle for their plans. Team Rocket, due to having Pokemon as bungling as they are, are generally the show's Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains, though anytime they can direct them competently or temporarily get hold of a more dangerous Pokemon, they often become Not So Harmless. | |

Guards! Guards!: Lupine Wonse intends to be this kind of villain, secretly summoning a dragon to wreak havoc, finding a suitably heroic-looking schmuck to serve as his Puppet King by unsummoning the dragon to "kill" it. Unfortunately, the dragon proves to be sapient, very angry at being used in this way, and forcing Lupine to serve it while it takes the throne as king (well, queen) after un-unsummoning itself and eating the "hero". | |
