Check the rules this has actually come up. A One-Shot is fine, but you need a character to describe. For example there was a big line in the sand drawn at the Lasher in Prince of Egypt. He is a slave driver but he has no character, he is a one-scene wonder and he is just part of a bigger villain's presence, he has no agency in the story and nothing much can be described about him other than he is there. On the other hand Demongo from Samurai Jack is a One-Shot Villain, but he takes up a full episode, has a clear motive, an obvious fate and is called in for a specific purpose.
