The Arch-Illager is the main antagonist of Minecraft Dungeons, released by Mojang in 2020. Once a small outcast illager named Archie, he is corrupted by the Orb of Dominance and uses its power to command armies and raid villages across the Overworld. His shrill laugh became a favourite clip among players because it contrasts his tiny size with his grand, world-conquering plans. Fans lift the sound for edits, soundboards and short gaming videos whenever they need a recognisable evil laugh that is more playful than frightening.
