User blog comment:G-Monster/Pure Evil Proposal Ghirahim/@comment-39032584-20200202132350

Honestly, I've wondered for a while if Ghirahim could qualify. For a while, I figured he simply didn't do very much beyond make threats to brutally torture and/or kill Link, as well as threaten to kill his own minions at that one particular point. However, wanting to revive Demise and already having his minions cause havoc across the land does give him some pretty heinous credentials considering he's not even ultimately the main antagonist. And frankly, his pronounced sense of sadism, which may be the single biggest case that I've witnessed in the whole Zelda series, has always kind of made him stand out to me. So between all his graphic threats and attempts at larger scale destruction, as well as his obsession with reviving Demise falling squarely into fanaticism, likely seeing Demise as the personification of his ideals and ambitions to see the world burn and all, like Demise, I'm now convinced that yes, he makes the cut.
