Starvers are villains who commit evil by causing starvation. Tyrants often willfully withhold food as punishment or manage their nation so poorly that none is available. Kidnappers will also do this to their victims, usually for a very personal and sick pleasure.

While there are very few gods who specifically rule over starvation Famine, one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse in Biblical lore seems to represent this concept. Other gods will be seen causing starvation, sometimes out of rage (such as God in Maltheism punishing humans for improper conduct) or simply apathy towards human life.

Many villains can also take away people's food supply.
