Po has faced a surprising number of dark villains.
Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness[]
- "Enter the Dragon": Ke-Pa is an ancient demon who terrorized the Valley of Peace with his army of demons, driving out or killing the citizens. After his army was sealed away by Oogway, Ke-Pa spent decades waiting for the peach tree that his powers are bound by dies, then, with his power returned, transformed into a dragon and lay siege to the Valley of Peace, threatening to eat the citizens one by one. Capturing and torturing Shifu under the belief that he has the Hero's Chi, Ke-Pa tries to crush the Hero's Chi out of him to free his demon army, before doing the same to Po and succeeding. Once his demons are unleashed, Ke-Pa orders them to kill everything in the Valley of Peace, bragging that he will destroy all mortals on the planet and reign supreme.
- "A Tigress Tale": Mugan is a skilled kung fu master whose twisted ideals of seeking "perfection" in her students instead hide an utter sadist. Mugan takes in kung fu masters and leads them on that she'll teach them her art, but instead she is lying and subjects them to horrific training in an attempt to break them. Mugan slowly breaks her students both physically and mentally, like Wu Yong, and then leaves them broken slaves who are added as her servants. When Tigress joins her training, Mugan tries to enslave her to the academy and promises that she will be broken.
Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny[]
- Jindiao was the original Dragon Warrior until his hunger for power corrupted him and drove him to kill his four students, the Four Constellations, in his attempt to become a god. His spirit kicked out of his body, Jindiao possessed a vulture and survived by drinking the chi of "lesser beings" for 1,000 years. Jindiao seeks once again to "enslave the world in fire and fury", regularly attempting to Mind Rape, corrupt, or kill Po and his four young students, the new Four Constellations, and eventually attempts to wipe out all of Panda Village and everyone in it out of spite. At one point one of their allies, Bunnidharma, takes a lethal blow meant for Po and dies in his arms—upon which Jindiao laughs in his face. A dreadful boss as well, Jindiao kills, beats and throws his minions to the wolves with aplomb. Even his most treasured student Jade Tusk, whom Jindiao mentored for years, is thrown away almost unthinkingly by him when one of the heroes tries to use her as a hostage.
- The Voice in the Shadows, aka Baigujing, aka the White Bone Demon, once roamed the land devouring souls of entire villages and leaving dolls behind to mark her crimes. When sealed away by Sun Wukong, the White Bone Demon eventually contacts Shi Long, corrupting the young girl into being her slave and using her to assassinate the Emperor, Shi Long's own adoptive father. Having Shi Long steal the Wellspring for her, the White Bone Demon's plans lead to a drought plaguing China, and Shi Long destroys entire villages to serve the White Bone Demon. The White Bone Demon's spirit inhabits a Humongous Mecha with Shi Long's help in the finale, betraying Shi Long and eating her alive before viciously trying to kill Po, his students the Four Constellations, and all of their friends before bringing an age of darkness onto China.
Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight[]
- "A Thread in the Dark": The High Priestess runs a small village in the outskirts, where she ostensibly helps travelers. In truth a cruel cannibal, the High Priestess runs a cult where innocents are taken to be harvested, murdered, and cannibalized by her and her followers, something she has done many times. Upon Veruca trying to save her brother Klaus with her sorcery, the High Priestess reveals she doesn't even believe in her own purported religion, murdering people for the sheer enjoyment.
