D&D General Nominate your favourite D&D villain!

[Parmandur]

Sakatha, from Tomb of the Lizard King.

 

[Gradine]

Erandis Vol, from Eberron

Edit: If I only get to nominate one, it's Lady Vol.

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

"Only when you have become the villain, can the villains become the heroes, Leatherhead."

This guy right here:

[Sacrosanct]

I'm surprised there are no nominations for Brian Blume or Lorraine Williams

 

[Dausuul]

Kyuss.

Alternative art:

 

[Charlaquin]

Tharizdun

 

[Quartz]

I'm going to go with Iggwilv from Greyhawk. I'm Old School.

She's power incarnate, mother of a god, binder of an archdemon, etc etc.

 

[Legatus Legionis]

.

 

[Twiggly the Gnome]

The Magneto of D&D, the Lord of Blades.

 

[Draegn]

Edralve of the Slave Lords. She is the drow who got away. Why? Because the boys for unknown reasons wanted to capture her alive.

 

[Sacrosanct]

How about the Dark Queen, The Dragon Queen herself, Takhisis!

It is she whom commands Lord Soth And Lord Verminaard, and for awhile Raistlin. The five-headed Dragon does have a very active role in the World of Krynn.

Why wouldn’t you use a pic of her actual normal dragon form?

Someone already posted Rary, so this should complete the set with the Lady.

 

[Al'Kelhar]

Does "every gnome paladin, ever" count as a villain?

(Actually, I'm personally ambivalent about gnome paladins. But elven shadow monks damn well Broke The Game.)

Anyways, count me as a vote for Dracul… err, Strahd von Zarovich.

Cheers, Al'Kelhar

 

[Imaculata]

Can I nominate a villain from my own homebrew campaign?

 

[Ash Mantle]

Artemis Entreri, he of the iron will, steely gaze, and life-stealing bejeweled dagger.

 

[Quartz]

Tharizdun

Isn't that his emissary, Shothragot?

 

[Raith5]

My vote would be Orcus!

 

[Jacob Lewis]

Acererak. Whether in lich form or demilich mode, no matter which edition, the originator of the Tomb of Horrors is as feared, legendary, and evil as his creation. His Tomb of Annihilation, however, might be his best work yet.

 

[Azzy]

One of my earliest exposures to D&D, an awesome action figure, imposing animated character, and statted up finally in the pages of Dungeon magazine ... Warduke!

Yeah, I'm going to have to back this one. Warduke was just badass-looking and cool.

No love (should I say hate? ) for the Dragon of Tyr? This guy is awesome. Burning Athasian dreams, 25d12 of superheated sand at a time.
