I've considered Rumpelstiltskin, seeing as how it's a completely valid claim that he's easily the worst villain in the series, especially next to the likes of Lord Farquaad, Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming. He also not only reduced Far, Far Away to a state not unlike what Scar did to the Pride Lands, erased Shrek's children from existence and tried to do the same to him, but it's also revealed he did tthe same thing to Fiona's parents after they signed the contract.

Conversely though, I know there are a decent amount of people who don't think he counts, mostly due to him being played comedically quite a bit of the time, and arguing that even though he's the worst Shrek villain, he still wasn't nearly as serious or heinous as he could have been. I don't think possibly caring about Fifi's much of an issue though, since he's a prized pet, and thereby, more of a possession he's proud of than anything else.

Hm... honestly, I'm not sure about him. I do think he's worth more consideration than some people think though.
