[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 1159968, member: 710"] If you fear your players reading here: Consider editing your post and add the [*spoiler] [*/spoiler] tag around your idea. (just remove the *). To see spoiler text, mark it. [spoiler] I used or planned to use Lawful neutral Formians in my Space Experiences Campaign. Remember that Myrmachs stamp out any chaotic creature - this includes Chaotic Evil, Chaotic Neutral and Chaotic Good. The formians might want to conquer the world not (only) for their own benefit, but because it is their view of the universe that the only succesfuly way to exist is in a perfect, lawful society. If that is not enough: Add a reason why they might have a lawful right to conquer the world - maybe a very old contract. [/spoiler] Other races: Shadowchasers is the setting that looks a bit like Buffy, right? I remember a nice Buffy episode, I believe the name was "Hush", maybe you know it. There were creatures that caused the whole city to become silenced (nobody could talk or cause sound). They didn`t walk, but levitated, while still having legs and so. I believe they were interesting in the hearts of a few certain victims. There great weakness was sound. With a few adaptions to both story and creature, Mind Flayers might fit that perfectly. Even if you use another story, Mind Flayers are always creepy villains. :) For a higher level threat, a Rakasha might be great (The Dragonstar Campaign Setting uses a Rakasha as the main force behind the criminal organization Black Hole, and I liked the idea.). Yuan Tis might also be interesting villains. [Spoiler] Though I am currently developing an AU Campagin, so I might not be able to use it in a while, but: I still have an adventure idea with a Yuan Ti - a Yuan Ti controlling a shadow depot.
