Neither King Dedede and Escargoon are as evil as he is, that's for certain. Escargoon's had episodes that give him audience sympathy. King Dedede also got an episode that gave him audience sympathy though he's generally portrayed as being unsympathetic.

Nightmare's definitely the worst out of all the villains. Pass.
