D&D General Vote For Your Favourite D&D Villain

The nominations are in. Who's your favourite D&D villain? Here are the villains which made it through the nomination stage to the final. It's time to vote! You may choose up to three.

FAQ: Why didn't [insert my favourite villain] make it into the finals? Because you didn't nominate them. Honourable mentions go to Iuz, Grazzt, Demogorgon, and Azalin, who didn't manage to get a nomination.

Yes!

Voting was tough here, that's for sure. I discounted those that do not appear in D&D modules as villains/opponents. Being a literary villain or just having an entry in a monster manual doesn't qualify one for top shelf villainy in my book.

I believe "vote for your favorite darklord" deserves its own thread.

I'll never vote for Orcus. He's dead to me.

 

[SMHWorlds]

Come on folks, Strahd and Lord Soth are weak; they fell to undeath because they were weak. Bargle on the other hand is just a bad mofo.

 

[Gradine]

Seeing so many one-note villains out-pacing Lady Vol brings a tear to my eye. At least Strahd is winning.

 

[Vexorg]

There were nine I didn't know. I'm guessing most of them are from novels.

Who is Bargle? How can he be infamous I've never heard of him?

See the classic Basic Red Box adventure.

 

[Gradine]

Yeah, I counted 11 I'd never heard of, including Bargle (at least if I say I'd never heard of them before the nomination thread, where I learned apparently he killed some woman? Because women in fridges was still a popular trope at the time I guess?)

 

[TwoSix]

Aleena was my first DnD crush (was she everybodies first DnD crush?)

Was she the woman in the 2E DMG? If not, no.

 

[Superchunk77]

Never understood the draw of Dracul....I mean Strahd. Dragon of Tyr, Raistlin and Entreri get my votes.

Well Aleena is higher level than the male PC, she dies in battle defending the PC, and the PC flees with her body without a chance to avenge her. I'd say that was a long way from "Fridged Girlfriend".
