Cannibals are person and/or animals that eat or have attempted to eat something of the same species as themselves. The circumstances that turn villains into Cannibals vary ranging from a mental illness to mutation that altered their diet. Cannibals are depicted as being particularly depraved due to simply devouring members of their own kind.

This can also include villains who force or trick others into committing cannibalism, or attempt to do so (e.g. Mr. Krabs, Creepy Dora, and Pinkamena). If they have nothing to eat but others of the same species, they can be Tragic or borderline Complete Monster if they are willing to do so.

Cannibals come in two subtypes:

1. Cultural Cannibals - Some societies practice cannibalism and in fiction many functions or are mirrored in alien/extra-dimensional societies; they differ from other cannibals in the fact cannibalism is regarded as "the norm" in their society and thus while despised by those outside their culture is largely accepted by members of their own community, clan and/or species.
2. Sociopathic Cannibals - Individuals who practice cannibalism despite it being taboo for their community, clan and/or species; they are normally born of modern eras and motivated purely out of sadism and/or misanthropy being among the most hated and feared villains due to the very nature of their crimes.

Note: Not to be confused with Man-Eaters who are mostly Non-Humans or Inhumans that eat human beings. Also, do not add Animals who eat different Animals no matter how Anthropomorphic they may be (like a T-Rex eating a Triceratops or a hawk eating a chicken), no matter how anthropomorphic they may be. The latter should go under Predators because the Animals eaten are still different species.
