His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- Before events of the game he was a fraud who lied about finding a "cure" for incurable diseases through the use of infusing human genes with that of animals, however he was quickly exposed for being said fraud and lost his job.
- He became obsessed with finding the "cure" to the point that he started a series of brutal experiments on his young son, Larry, these experiments ultimately turned his son into a hybrid of human and lama, which caused him to brutally murdered Dr. Bronze and his wife. After that, Larry escaped to the forest where thanks to his father's experiments he completely lost his humanity and turned into a man-eating predator.
- His actions makes him posthumously responsible for dozens of deaths caused by his son.
- While being fired from work and exposed as fraud destroyed his life, not only did he brought it on himself by lying about finding a "cure", but also it isn't presented in sympathetic way considering that he was capable to experiment on his son to clear his name.
- While he might sound like extremist at first in reality the only reason he wanted to find a "cure" was because he wanted to become famous and bust his ego.
- In the prequel games, Seamongrel and Porkbound, he is revealed to have mentored an apprentice who became so frustrated and vindictive at the fact that he lost his job as a scientist and ended up working as an aquarium staff that sells food and snacks to it's tourists that he decides to take revenge on all by poisoning the aquarium staff's food with the same drug he used to turn his son into a hostile hybrid abomination, causing the entire aquarium to be infested with sea abominations. In the sequel he tried to kill a three person family, by convincing four bullies to harass the son of the family and possibly burn down their Farm, while drugging them with the same chemicals he used to turn Lamu into a monster, making Eric indirectly responsible for the events of the games.
- While his apprentice was genuinely loyal to him, nothing states Eric viewed him as anything more than a pawn.
- His Apprentice has many more victims, but unlike Eric, none of his victims were related to him.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He lack enough personality to be Pure Evil, however this is minor considering the facts that we know his motives and his actions show that he was nothing more than a self-centered fame seeking scientist.
