A Complete Monster is the worst of all villains. A complete monster is a villain who is Pure Evil, completely atrocious and irredeemable. For this kind of villain, doing evil for them is as natural as breathing. they can be recognized on the following criteria:

• Crossing the MEH: They commit acts that are atrocious by the standards of the story, and have crossed the Moral Event Horizon. Villains who have only crossed the MEH once usually do not qualify, although rare examples exist.
• Negative: They are never presented in a positive way.
• Horrific Acts: Their actions are taken seriously, causing fear, revulsion, and hatred from other characters in the story. Therefore, villains that are too comical can never qualify, unless their comedic moments don't detract from their seriousness.
• Heartless: They can never feel love for others. If they claim to have love for anyone, that "love" would merely be either perversion, possessiveness, or obsession.
• Irredeemable: They are completely beyond redemption and absolutely nothing justifies their heinous crimes.
• Remorseless: They display no sense of remorse towards those who they have hurt nor do they express any empathy for others as well.
• Coherent: Unlike most Exploitation Villains, their crimes are presented to invoke a genuinely coherent sense of threat, instead of simply for pure shock value.
• Competent: They are primarily successful in their plans and crimes, and never miserably fail with them, so as to preserve their malicious nature. Therefore, villains that fall under Incompetent can never qualify.

Anti-Villains can never qualify seeing as to how you are meant to sympathize with an anti-villain, even if you do not approve of their methods. Also, just being an obviously evil character such as a serial killer or cataclysm doesn't automatically make the villain a Complete Monster unless they are particularly malicious in nature.
