Look around the room you're in. Notice anyone with particularly prominent, exaggerated, or high cheekbones? Yes? Chances are they're the one out to get you. Villains seem to have a tendency toward quite noticeable cheekbones. It's far more common in animated works, as facial features are often exaggerated. This trope is quite often seen on The Baroness or the Dragon Lady. It's perhaps because sharper cheekbones lend a face a sharper, more angular look, which can convey intense emotion more easily sometimes, or (as with Lean and Mean) because of the unsettlingly skeletal, deathly appearance it can give you. It's also the opposite of the kind of smoother, softer face known as "baby-faced"—and since a baby-faced person looks like an innocent child, it follows that the prominent bone structure will look like the opposite of this. Compare Lean and Mean. Sister Trope to Sinister Schnoz and Thin Chin of Sin. Contrast with the Lantern Jaw of Justice for the good guys. |

Midna in her true form from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess kind of seems like a villain at first but ultimately is a subversion as despite her Tsundere qualities, she's a really sweet person. | |

Humanoid vampires in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion default to having high cheekbones when they're starving and their monstrous nature is especially clear since it uses a pre-set face for them. This is especially clear with the Dark Brotherhood's Vicente Valtieri, who always looks that way. | |

Cursed Princess Club: Princess Gwendolyn of the Pastel Kingdom has rigid, jutting cheekbones (which later chapters extend to the whole area around her eye sockets following Art Evolution) that are one of many facial features that make her look so sinister. However, she's actually much nicer than her freaky appearance would imply (not that her reluctant fiancé Frederick initially knows that, given he assumes based partly on her cheekbones that she has a constant Death Glare). | |

Harry Potter: Pansy Parkinson sports them in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, courtesy of her lovely actress Scarlett Byrne. Bellatrix Lestrange, Voldemort's number two, who is played by Perky Goth Helena Bonham Carter. It is mentioned in the books that she has the look of someone who used to be very beautiful before she got too emaciated, so sharp cheekbones can be expected. Mads Mikkelsen (no stranger to playing villains for this reason) is took over the role of Gellert Grindelwald starting with the third Fantastic Beasts film. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Fire Lord Ozai has some impressive cheekbones. Both his children have high cheekbones, but they're the somewhat softer kind of classical prettiness, while Ozai's are much sharper. Amon in the Sequel Series The Legend of Korra wears a mask that has these carved into it. And Tarrlok, Unalaq, Zaheer, Ming-Hua, and Ghazan all come by the trait naturally. |

LEGO has quite a few villainous characters with visible cheekbones in their designs: Lord Vladek, Karzon, and Dracus from Knights' Kingdom, all three of which are traitors to the kingdom. The Witch and Evil Knight from LEGO Minifigures, the former that does bad deeds to "make up" for all the good she does on the side, and the latter who has worked under numerous overlords (including Vladek). The butler and zombie chef from Monster Fighters, monsters that oppose the heroes. |

Grand Moff Tarkin of A New Hope first appears in a position of authority over Darth Vader, so his villainous credentials would be pretty clear already, but he's still got this trope going in spades. Happily averted with Peter Cushing himself. Played straight all the other times Cushing played the villain, but averted with many of his roles in the Hammer Horror series; he would often play the hero, opposite Christopher Lee's villain. |

In Chapter 2 of Deltarune, Spamton's design includes exaggeratedly high and prominent cheekbones that fit his nature as an unhinged manipulator. This is especially visible during his attacks in his fight and on his shop sprite, both of which exaggerate the cheekbones even more and make them visibly pointy. Strangely, they become more subtle when he transforms into the even more overtly malicious Spamton NEO. | |

Crowley from Good Omens. But he's only technically evil, and given his position in the universe's moral spectrum, lacking a certain villainous appearance would be unbecoming. Not that it's stopped him being considered Mr. Fanservice by many fans. | |

The X-Men villain Apocalypse certainly invokes this, with his cheekbones even having metallic implants (it's much more noticeable in◊ the live-action version). | |

The G-Man from the Half-Life series. He is an enigmatic man in a black suit who follows you around and watches you from obscure vantage points, making finding him a kind of dark Easter Egg hunt. From what the player can puzzle out from his sparse interactions with him, and from what other characters say, it is likely that he is neither human nor benevolent. | |

Dr. Gero of the Android Saga has just huge cheekbones that not even his big bushy mustache can cover. Recoome and Dabura have a set but is overshadowed by their lantern jaws. Mr. Satan is an inversion as while he's a greedy coward and an arrogant showboat he's still the strongest non-ki-using-human who genuinely cares about helping people and can see the best even in the worst of people (such as Majin Buu). |
