D&D General What are the Ultimate Villains of D&D?

Based on my last tavern visit, we need a category for "guy who let the mead go bad."

Also, "bard most likely to undermine the party." I'm sure that one has some good contenders.

An Eloquence Bard that just screams at you to do better, be better, and stop slacking.

Along a similar vein, I was thinking "Deck of Many Things".

Decks don't kill campaigns. DMs who put the Deck in campaigns kill campaigns.

Even Lesser Deck of Many Things in Castle Amber can potentially kill a campaign. Almost happenned to me.

Lolth seems like she should be tops in a category, but I'm not sure what the category could be. "Evil god(dess)" has lots of contenders, and arguably Tiamat fits that one as well. Is "spider" too narrow to be its own category?

yeah I thought Lolth was missing from this list too, but like you I wasnt sure just where to put her - I suppose that if we look to DnD other spider dieties (Mishka, The Spider (Birthright), Shelob) then Lolth is certainly the best known
