Ogron, Anagan, Duman, and Gantlos are the Wizards of the Black Circle who serve as the four main villains of the entertaining fourth season. Ogron is the leader of the group who has the power to absorb and deflect magic.
It is imperative to mention that he becomes stronger with every blow of fairy magic he absorbs. Duman, on the other hand, is a shapeshifter who can take on the appearances of other people and animals when he wants to.
However, we catch him getting defeated by Nabu while suffering from an illness caused by his incredulously unstable powers. Furthermore, Anagan is blessed with superhuman speed and, last but not the least, Gantlos is capable of producing destructive shockwaves.

Tritannus is the antagonist one must watch out for in the fifth season. He is Aisha's first cousin, the son of King Neptune and Queen Ligea, and the younger twin brother of Nereus.
The merman royal was sent to prison after having attempted to kill Nereus, who was chosen to be Neptune's heir to the throne instead of him. Needless to say, Tritannus was not only stripped of his prince title because of his actions but he was also seen later mutating into a demon sea monster due to toxic pollution.
However, absorbing pollution only ended up adding to his strength. That said, the Winx crew manages to get the better of him as Bloom destroys his trident that holds all of his evil powers.
Soon after, he is banished to Oblivion for his actions.

One of the main antagonists of the sixth season, Selina is a freshman at Cloud Tower who has a magical book called The Legendarium that can make legends and myths come to life.
She hails from Earth and was once a pal of Bloom. Soon in the series, we catch her becoming the servant of a sorcerer named Acheron, who was sealed within the Legendarium.
Unsurprisingly, she promises to release him if he agrees to provide her with extraordinary knowledge and strong powers, in addition to the advantage of ruling alongside him. Even though Acheron turns against her after having been released, Selina takes Bloom's help to imprison him again inside the Legendarium along with the Trix.
Not only does she use the Legendarium's key to lock the magic book forever but she can also be seen reuniting with her fairy godmother and mentor, Eldora, in the show.

This powerful and dangerous sorcerer learns dark magic on Earth and, therefore, ends up creating an unbelievable book called The Legendarium. He tries to use the same to fulfil his aim of becoming the strongest and most feared sorcerer in the magical universe.
Unfortunately for him, he fails to control its powers and becomes trapped within its pages as a consequence. In season six, we find him coaxing Selina to work for him and, eventually, release him after having promised to grant her great powers and knowledge about the Legendarium.

The main antagonist of The Mystery of the Abyss, Politea was Sirenix nymph who originally battled alongside Daphne to defend the Magic Dimension and the Infinite Ocean from the Ancestral Witches.
However, when the witches placed a curse on Sirenix, it ended up causing Daphne to lose her physical self completely. Worse still, Politea betrayed her big time by refusing to come to her aid.
Expectedly, her actions led the Ancestral Witches to curse her and, as a consequence, turn her into a mindless dragon-like monster following which she lives in a shark-shaped cave in the Infinite Ocean for years.
However, we find her making a comeback in The Mystery of the Abyss as a greyish-blue-coloured spirit. Politea can be seen allying with the Trix to acquire a powerful object called the Pearl of the Depths.
Sooner than later, we even find her trying to convince the Trix to manipulate Tritannus into abducting Sky so that they can use him to fetch the undeniable powers of the Emperor's Throne.
But, when Tritannus does manage to acquire the pearl, she unveils herself to him and puts her dark magic to use to regulate both him and the Trix at her will.
That being said, it doesn't take long for Politea to be destroyed by a powerful Sirenix convergence of the Winx augmented by the Pearl of the Depths.

Siblings Kalshara and Brafilius are the main antagonists of the seventh season. While the former is a shape-shifter, the latter is her clumsy brother who happens to have dark magic powers.
Do you know what their ultimate goal is? To capture all of the Fairy Animals of the Magic Dimension and acquire their power. Even though the siblings were humans once upon a time, they ended up becoming animal-like creatures after Kalshara gained wild magic.
On the other hand, Brafilius was seen stealing the stone of memories from Roxy and travelling back in time with the Winx. However, when Kalshara got the ultimate power, she was betrayed by Brafilius who stole it for himself and used it to summon powerful animals in the magic dimension.
However, he was soon captured by the Trix members who turned him into a dog and forced his sister to form a temporary truce with the Winx members to restore him to his original form.
However, the ultimate power was removed from Brafilius after the Trix were banished to limbo. Kalshara, furious over having lost all her powers, disowned Brafilius. Even though she was gone, her brother seems to have had a change of heart and now happens to be living with the amiable creatures of the cave.

Thoren is a Paladin who happens to be Sky's cousin and Daphne's husband. His weapon is the Earthquake Hammer. Even though he is related to Sky, they seem to hold a grudge against each other.
He can be recognized by his fair skin, wavy brown hair, and blue-green eyes.

A good friend of Thoren, Nex is a sociable and confident Paladin who got attracted to Aisha (and subsequently ended up with her) during the sixth season. He has fair skin, grey hair, and light-brown eyes, and his weapon is the Halberd of the Wind.

Mandragora is one distinctly wicked witch who seems to enjoy enormous power over insects, appearing only in The Secret of the Lost Kingdom. She can be seen serving and being of use to the Ancestral Witches, while at the same time being the true guardian of Obsidian, the realm of pure evil.

Argan, who is named Obscurum while under Valtor's darker magic, is a secondary antagonist in the eighth season of the show. Even though he is the brother of Queen Dorana of Lumenia, he seems to be jealous of her power and grip over their people.
His jealousy is perhaps the prime reason he channels the verve of Valtor and employs the power of the stars to resuscitate him. In return, he is provided with remarkable dark powers that have the ability to change his very appearance.
