Well, Malos and Exdeath were once mundane inanimate objects with a semi-important purpose (Malos was partially responsible for bringing back a destroyed world as a computer; Exdeath used to be a tree that served as a prison for evil souls) but got corrupted many years before the stories of Final Fantasy V and Xenoblade 2 took place.

In a bit of dramatic irony, both would then go on to become mankind's worst enemy as extremely hammy muscular humanoids that sought to gain the power they needed to destroy all of existence. Nevertheless, that plan didn't stick as they had been defeated twice over by brave heroes and their successors (Specifically, Exdeath was defeated by Bartz and his father over the span of 30 years, and Malos was defeated by both Drivers of the Aegis over the span of 500 years).

On that note, one could make a solid case for Bartz Klauser VS Rex.
