Big Bad Evil Guy...the Eidolon?

[Glade Riven]

Had a thought today - a good BBEG would be an Eidolon that keeps showing up - no matter how many different (evil) summoners end up killed by the party through the campaign. Is it the aspect of a deity/devil/demon? A condemned soul with a plot beyond the grave? Or something...else?

Okay, I'm taking this idea for my Lovecraft-inspired Secret City campaign

an Aspect of Shoggoth, or perhaps the twisted incarnations of the sorcerer Volguns...

For the PF conversion of my old 3.5 setting that I'm presently building, I had already decided that Eidolons are always natives of the Far Realm, regardless of what they actually look like or do- so actually this idea dovetails neatly into your BBEG one! Thanks!

The far realm is a good source for Eidolons...that, and the realm of dreams.
