Inferno Pendragon wrote: we might be strict but it doesn't mean we're perfect yet either, there's still a lot of antagonists that slip past the radar and one of the MAJOR problems I feel is the inclusion of Predatory Animals in this wiki, which has caused MANY MANY pages to be made under the false notion that "anything that kills is evil".. housecats kill to survive, few call cats "evil"..

I think Predators needs to go as we have "Man-Eaters" and "Monsters" for the Hollywood-style monster-animals (Jaws etc) Agreed.

The nature of the character needs to be assessed. Anthropomorphic (Professor Ratigan), or Natural (Albertosaurus)? If natural, are the actions of the animal instinctual, or calculating, like what eventually creeped into later Jaws movies? What is the nature of the franchise? If "Talking animals" then sure something like Land Before Time's Sharptooth although not talking like Littlefoot and friends may fit the bill. Etc.

Even the proverbial scorpion which stings its ride mid-river is acting on nature and not villainy.
