Nighttime Villains

Nighttime Villains The main bad guys; Roméo Mécano, Sorceline and Ninjaka Nighttime Villains (also known as Méchants in French) are the primary antagonists of Les Pyjamasques series. They are usually portrayed as hostile, while some of the other villains tend to be neutral. About Nighttime Villains are villains that come out in the night. They act as opposing enemies to Nocturnal Heroes, and provide conflict with them. Archetypes The main archetypes for the nighttime villains are mythological or folklore-related, such as being a witch, magician, gremlin, a god or a monster. A few of the nighttime villains have archetypes that are more modern or science-related, such as a villain being portrayed as a thief, a scientist or a gang of wolves. Les Pyjamasques Typical The typical villains is the ordinary archetype of nighttime villains. These villains show a lack of gratitude and have the most homicidal and intimidating traits than the rest of the other types of nighttime villains. Their motives are either linked to a certain mythology/folklore context or they represent oppositions of life lessons. These motives have created negative results to people and the normality of the night. Examples of their motives that represent oppositions of a specific life lesson may include: Sorceline wanting to steal gifts from children as she sees gifts for her birthday very important. Roméo Mécano wanting to suspend school due to showing frustration on not being good at schoolwork. Their motives are also linked to a mythology/folklore: Apophis wishing for an eternal night by swallowing the Sun Disc guarded by Bastet. Sablotin jamming the astronomical clock with moon sand in order to prevent no-one from waking up. Roméo Mécano attempting to capture any mythology/folklore character such as the Moon or the Dreamer of the Rainbow that is dream-related. Marchand de sable attempting to disrupt Les Pyjamasques by putting them to sleep with various magic-related weapons. Sorceline using her Mitomites to lock everyone's Animal Totems due to her jealousy on not receiving one herself. In order to fit the villains' homicidal traits, the villains are shown to possess some weapons and attacks that can inflict opponents' physically such as the million missiles, lightning based powers from a magical magnet and metal moons. However, despite their ungrateful behavior, they have been times where some of the villains accepted advice and morals from Les Pyjamasques willingly whenever they're defeated on their plan. They can only be found active after midnight, and had never shown a trace of night activity in the day at all. Monsters Monsters are another type of nighttime villains. One goal that they only have in mind is to torment and eat children raw, but their reasons related to their goal varies. Their appearances mostly ranged to resemble animals such as bunnies, vultures, wolves and octopus, and often have grotesque and frightening features such as teeth that are usually big in size. PJ Masks Contemporary Contemporary nighttime villains are considered to be the popular types of villains. Unlike the typical nighttime villains, they act less homicidal and more unlikeable. Very often, they tend to boast on their self-claims of being "bad", and showing unwillingness on accepting morals, help and advice from heroes. Their motives are less involved on mythology/folklore and doesn't represent any opposition on life lessons, and is more focused on what generally happens in typical superhero comics: Committing heists. Attempting a rise of power (e.g. taking over the world) Kidnappings Vandalism Take over HQ for turf. Overall, these goals are simply intended for selfish purposes. Unlike the normal nighttime villains, the contemporary villains never show violence towards others, and they use non-lethal weapons that can either slow down, disable and/or trap heroes such as laser guns, nerfed moon magnets, sticky stars etc. Unlike the rest of the other villains, they seem to be active 24 hours a day as their activity can be also be seen in the day rather only being in the night. And whenever the villain knows that he/she is defeated, they will usually flee or escape from being captured by the hero.
