| This villain was proposed but was rejected by the community for not being heinous enough or lacks what is necessary to be a Pure Evil villain. Therefore, this villain shall be added to our "Never Again List", where proposed villains rejected by the community shall be placed to prevent future proposals of the same evil-doer. They can be proposed again (with the permission of an administrator) if new elements appear in their series that can change their status as non-PE villains. Any act of adding this villain to the Pure Evil category without a proposal or creating a proposal for this villain without the permission of an administrator will result in a ban. | ||

| ~ Description for Herensuge in the card game Tor. |
Herensuge, meaning dragon in euskera, is a mythical creature from primeval times sparingly making appearances across all of Basque Mythology.
Biography[]
Herensuge is less of an individual and more along the lines of multiple incarnations of the same character or species, all of them dying at the hands of a different hero every time. He is thus, more of an archetype that was commonly used for a story that required a fierce and powerful villain.
Overview[]
His appearance varies, but is mostly depicted as an average to large-sized seven-headed flying serpentine-like dragon that terrorizes kingdoms and kills people for pleasure or hunger.
He's consistently depicted as being very sadistic, kidnapping random people only to drown them, not even eating their bodies afterward.
Powers and Abilities[]
Though in some stories Herensuge is depicted as being so weak a man armed with a stick and a dog can kill it, in others it can kill horses, spit deadly fire and drive people mad at will. It's often described as being enormous (and with that comes great strength) and is usually depicted as being half-colubrid, meaning it possesses a venomous bite.

Trivia[]
- Herensuge made a cameo in an episode of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, showing that it is indeed one of the most popular European dragons.
