The Bad Idea Bears

 * Complete Monsters: Defied. They might appear to be as such given that they're more or less there to tempt Princeton into doing increasingly stupid and/or destructive things, especially when they try to persuade Princeton to kill himself, but it's gradually made clear that they're just plain amoral rather than actively, maliciously evil.
 * Evil Mentors: They suggest that Princeton gets drunk and then commits suicide. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
 * For the Evulz
