* Itachi Uchiha from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' manages this in his more serious ass-kicking moments.

** Additionally, in ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', there is Johan who gets those when [[spoiler: he is possessed by Yubel.]]

* Several monsters and villains in ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'' seem to have these, such as Octacon, Blocky, Yamikage, the Broom King, Kung Fu Lee, Belly Buster in its true form, Giant Squishy, Trash Basher, Nekketsu, and Phan Phan while brainwashed by Whippy.

* Frollo from Disney's ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' actually has purple shadows.
* Gaston gets these in the last third of ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', to show that he's a NotSoHarmlessVillain now.

* Scar and his hyenas from ''Disney/TheLionKing''.
* The evil lionesses in ''Disney/TheLionKingIISimbasPride''. The main difference between a good lion and a bad lion in those movies seems to be tons of eyeliner.
* Sa'luk from ''Disney/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves''.

* Prosecutor Simon Blackquill in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'' has dark streaks under both eyes. Combined with his dark hair and pale skin, they make him look creepy (but also somewhat pitiable).

A character that LooksLikeCesare tends to have these eyes, as well as TheInsomniac and other deranged characters, since eye pigmentation can occur from lack of sleep (though if this is just temporary see ExhaustedEyeBags). Some characters may artificially try to replicate this effect with make-up, resulting in ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow, or {{Guyliner}}, but it just doesn't have the same effect and is not the trope.

* ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'': this is one of Wednesday's most pronounced features, as she's an EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette.
** Uncle Fester also has these.

* In RealLife the skin around the eyes is much thinner, so some people do have darker areas around their eyes (it's also the reason bruises around the eye are so prominent). [[CaptainObvious Of course, this has nothing to do with a person's morality]], so in [[RealLife Real Life]], this trope is mostly [[SubvertedTrope subverted.]]

** Hitoshi Shinsou in has these, and combined with his MindControl powers, they make him look like someone who would end up a villain. Nevertheless, he really wants to be a hero.

* Zalvetta the ninja of ''WebOriginal/ThrillingIntent'' has these. He is also a sociopathic killer.

* Bond henchman Dario from ''Film/LicenceToKill'' (of course, he has them naturally since he's played by BenicioDelToro).

* Mike's evil personality Mal from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaAllStars''.

* Hitoshi Shinsou in ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' has these, and combined with his MindControl powers, they make him look like someone who would end up a villain. Nevertheless, he really wants to be a hero.

* Shuichi Akai, FBI agent and [[PragmaticHero good guy]] from ''Manga/DetectiveConan''. He is drawn having eyes which have permanent bags underneath them that make him appear sleep deprived and other characters describe him as evil eyed. By now this is even a PlotPoint: Both Conan and the readers use his distinctive look to identify him [[spoiler:when in disguise]] - and also possible relatives of him [[spoiler:such as his sister Sera (who has the same eyes) and the mysterious girl hiding in Seras hotel room.]]

* Kanato Sakamaki from ''VisualNove/DiabolikLovers'' has these, which go well with his CreepyChild demeanor.

* Loki has these in ''Film/TheAvengers2012'', especially notable in his first scene, to empathise his BigBadSlippage between ''Film/{{Thor}}'' and ''The Avengers''. Completed with a KubrickStare.
