Who is the worst villain in D&D?

[Brakkart]

Worst meaning, the most evil villain (not the most incompetant, though that might make for a fun poll also). I think I've included a pretty wide spread of villains from the various D&D worls (apologies if I missed your favourite off the list).

Can´t see da poll.

Try now. Sorry took a while picking those to go in it.

Ohh and as some explanation for my choices, wanted to use the bigger names and individuals rather than organisations. Also with the obvious exceptions of Iuz and Vecna, I stayed away from using Gods (though Dregoth wants to become one, and Tisan is so frightfully powerful she might as well be one).

I voted for Nibenay, but from FR, Gromph makes a good villain, and from Eberron, there are plenty to choose from. My favorite is the Lord of Blades, but I haven't read enough about him to know if he's truly competent.

I have not read much about the drow in the Realms, so not in a position to know who is and isn't a good villain under the surface. Yeah I should have included at least one from Eberron I guess, but I don't collect that setting (my money goes on the Realms, Freeport, Spycraft and Ravenloft, so can't afford another setting).

I'm surprised "Lorraine Williams" isn't a choice.

Heh could do a whole other poll on that under the topic "The People vs The worst criminals in the history of roleplaying games!". List each defendant along with their "crime", such as:

Lorraine Williams - Too numerous to mention!
Roger E. Moore - Restoring the staus quo in Greyhawk. Inventing the Giant Space Hamster!
Whoever invented the Flumph - Inventing The Flumph!!
Peter Adkison - Selling WotC to Hasbro.

etc etc.

I voted Iuz but given the choice I'd have gone for Eclavdra Eilservs from G3, D3, WGR5 and last seen in the Epic Level Handbook. She has had a lengthy career as a villain in Greyhawk. Highlights including the setting up of the Slave Lords from A1-4 and the Giant invasion of Sterich in G1-3.

Strahd. Oh how you killed my PC and made me your eternal minion...

No poll option for those of us who don't own every D&D product ever published? Something along the lines of, "I have no idea who three-quarters of these characters are?"
