Baddock

/ˈbædɑk/ noun

A small bad person; a petty or minor villain; a dialectal or archaic term for a small or insignificant bad character.

From 'bad' with the diminutive suffix '-ock' (or '-ack'), creating a patronizing or diminishing noun form. Similar to 'bullock' from 'bull,' this pattern makes nouns seem smaller, younger, or less significant.
