I think I've cracked the RPG code (at least shows for public availability) on villains. The DM differentiates if a villain is supposed to be scary or just evil based on if they would fall for 'Loser says what'. Almost all show-resembling RPGs are comedies and by comedians and there is nothing funnier than your powerful enemy falling for a 'Loser says what'. The only reason a comedian would turn down that joke is if it would ruin the immersion and/or characterisation. I can't prove it, but I firmly believe it. Akarot would fall for it, but Thiala wouldn't. Porter would (and did) fall for it, but Kalina wouldn't. Bill would, but Willy wouldn't. Lucas would, but The Hunger wouldn't.

Bev shoving the amulet into that hollow body’s face was a neat moment

NADDPOD C1 Episode 36 - Bev goes to see “The Boss”

Note 1: Akarot has such an intense voice, I imagine he looks/sounds pissed even when he isn’t

Disclaimer: I don’t know what Axe smells like

So im breakin up critical role with some 8 bit book club. If ya havent listened to it u should. Hearing the akarot voice say i am a man of particular taste, i want to eat mickey shaped pancakes next to chip is priceless. Its episode 26 when they go over kingdom hearts. Im sure the voice comes up earlier and wth better quotes but dont let me spoil all the fun for ya

The ones in bold are the ones that are on the top of the list for me personally.

Feel free to add to this list.

* i know that many of those arent the most powerful, dangerous or the most important to the stories out of all the villains that appeared in them - but as I said, this is an objective list

** i know that they made fun out of him constantly, but there were moments when he was absolutely horrifying for me

***i haven’t seen the entirety of the Vox Machina campaign so forgive me for any omissions
