Ser Gregor Clegane: The Mountain that Rides

There are very few 'evil' characters in A Song of Ice and Fire (Others notwithstanding), but Gregor Clegane's talent for violence makes a strong case for him.

Oh, I disagree that there are "very few" evil characters...

...Ramsay
...The Mad King
...Joffrey
...Cersei
...Tywin
...Amory Lorch
...Qyburn
...Night King
...Walder Frey
...Rorge
...Craster
...The Great Masters
...Viserys Targaryen
...Khal Drogo
...Littlefinger
...Janos Slynt
...Roose Bolton

And so on. Obviously that's not 90% of the cast, but to me it's more than "very few". And were I to include the TV continuity in which several characters are given "Adaptational Villainy", I would also include Karl Tanner, Styr, Locke, Dagmer, Lothar Frey, Rast, Ellaria Sand, the Sand Snakes, Melisandre, Stannis after murdering his own daughter, and so on. Frankly, Westeros has more villains than a typical Superhero's rogues gallery (appropriate, given the author was a comic fan in his younger years if his letters to Stan Lee and company are anything to go by). Really, when people say "there are no good or bad characters in ASOIAF/GoT", I don't know what in the world they're talking about. 

But yes, the Mountain stands as one of the absolute most disgusting and despicable of the bunch, and a Complete Monster alongside Ramsay, Joffrey, Walder, The Mad King, and Rorge. He is, in fact, my least favorite character, and one I hate even more than Joffrey.
