Torch is a villain in the "legends" section of Equestrian lore from My Little Pony, it is specifically said he is neutral in the modern era but that doesn't mean he wasn't a villain in his younger days, even in modern age dragons are seen as dangerous - before the Wonderbolts etc the dragons were far worse and the story states so.

so he does count, as much as any of the other "legends" villains - they are stories within Equestria like our fairy tales, only difference is because the show is fantasy most of the stories are pretty much historical fact in-universe.
