Also, I was wondering, can metafictional villains qualify? For example, could villains from like adaptations of Alice in Wonderland or Are You Afraid of the Dark? qualify since they're dreams/stories, and therefore are invented completely out of someone else's mind (lacking moral agency) and have no connection to the "real world"? Like say an Are You Afraid of the Dark? story was about a serial killer who met all criteria, but they're metafictional; they don't do anything to the kids and are invented entirely from the storyteller's mind.
