Category:Cowards

A Coward is a type of fictional character who are completely prone to run away from their problems or a confrontation in which they directly caused. Sometimes being a coward motivates evil as they will do anything to save only their own hides and do not care if others get hurt (providing they don't get harmed themselves), other times it serves as comedic relief while at other times it simply makes a villain dislike-able and/or weak in the eyes of a viewer or protagonist (and sometimes other villains as well).

They will also not hesitate to use cheap and dirty tactics if they deem it necessary to win a battle.

Due to the fact most Cowards will try to run away if they are in danger or even surrender entirely they are rarely the leading antagonist (though exceptions do exist), tending instead to be bumbling sidekicks or henchmen. In addition, should these villains die, it is often in disgrace, unless they redeem themselves to die with honor.
