It is a Greek word ,"megalo" meaning "very large", "great", or "exaggerated" and "mania" meaning obsession thus combining to denote an obsession with, either in the form of irrational perceived need for, or preoccupation with one's own estimation of having and/or obtaining, grandiosity and extravagance (especially in the form of great fame and popularity, material wealth, social influence or political power, or more than one or even all of the aforesaid) and accompanying complete desirous and bombastic abandon; a common symptom if not the key diagnostic feature of megalomania. It may be a symptom of manic or paranoid disorders.[citation needed] However it is not considered a distinct mental disorder of itself according to the Diagnostic and Statistics. (all from wikipedia so i don't know how much is true) xx
A megalomaniac is a dictatorial individual who is a control freak, and also has grandiose, over-ambitious plans of enormous proportions. Hitler, Saddam Hussein and Nicolai Ceaucescu were prime examples, as is Robert Mugabe.
A megalomaniac is someone who craves power, wealth, status, or genius to the point of mania (think Hitler) or someone who believes that they are ridiculously powerful. It can alternatively be termed 'delusions of grandeur.'

Are the Volturi supposed to be nice or nasty in Twilight?
The Volturi are supposed to be viewed as the royal family of the Vampire world. They are the governing body and create the rules which all vampires must adhere to. They also exact quick punishment to all those who break those rules. In reality the Volturi are quite evil. They seek out powerful vampires, such as Edward Cullen with his mind reading, Alice Cullen with her clairvoyance, and Bella Cullen with a powerful mind shield. If they encounter resistance, they use the powers of the vampires they control to get their way, killing all that oppose them. They expect nothing less than complete control. Their leader, Aro, is an arrogant megalomaniac who seeks absolute control over the vampire world. He views many things and people in the world as of certain worth, given their abilities or rare qualities, and collects them to add to his collection. One of his more malevolent actions was the killing of his sister Didyme, who loved one of Aro's partners, Marcus. He had her killed to ensure Marcus did not leave the Volturi with her, as he saw his abilities as of a greater value than Didyme's abilities and the love she and Marcus' had.
How do you make a narcissist happy?
Firstly we have to understand what narcissism is and what happiness is for a narcissist. It is very different in all aspects of emotion. Narcissism is essentially an absolute self denial and an obsession with a fake self. A narcissist has zero emotional intelligence and has to act out a fake existence of a fake self. There is no spontaneous response to anything. All behaviour is rationalised and part of a manipulation process to sustain a fake image. Happiness for a self aware human being is a function of emotional intelligence. It is a true feeling. It can be a spontaneously triggered sensation of wellness within the soul of a self aware personality. Without self awareness, there is no home for this emotional response called happiness. Without self awareness, happiness can only be a judgment made based on a set of circumstances that would indicate preciseness of a desired condition. I would like to change the word happiness to something else for a Narcissist. For a narcissist, happiness does not exist in my opinion, in the form known to an emotionally intelligent person. For a Narcissist, happiness may be an awareness of evidence that the fake self is intact and spectacular. So the answer to the question is as follows. To make a narcissist happy we must understand the nature of their fake self. Then we apply adoration that will enhance this image. We must continue to provide this adoration. This is not a satisfiable appetite and without a constant supply a Narcissist will be stressed. The fake self is created as the main tool in the process of complete self denial. Should the fake self loose its status, clarity or dominance, then the true self may begin to emerge and this is the Narcissists greatest fear. So the fake self will indeed be a kudos seeking megalomaniac in its behaviour.
