Mind flayer. Miska is all subtle power, cruelty and presence, rather than brute strength. Dragon is too imposing and physically challenging, Lich just screams raw power thanks to the fact that they've been transformed. Mind Flayer gets right down to the insidious creepiness and ruthlessness, plus it plays on a diffirent playing field to most PC's (making it dangerous without being physically imposing).
