Corinthian (Sandman TV Series)

Isn't this why you created me? Why should we confine ourselves to their sleeping minds? Here in the waking world, we're unstoppable. There is nothing preventing us from taking whoever, whatever we want.

— The Corinthian ^src

The Corinthian was a suave and sadistic nightmare with mouths for eyes created by Dream to show humanity the darkest side of themselves. Eventually, he grew bored haunting the Dreaming, and escaped to the waking world to become a serial killer.
