He’s menacing for the time he’s on screen and is a solid antagonist for his short. The most recognizable antagonist is Chernabog from the final short, “Night on Bald Mountain.” Essentially, Chernabog is the devil as he raises the dead before everything turns against him and chases him back into the mountain.
