[puppyavenger]

go-go eldritch horror!
Aberation

[Xallace]

Zeta Kai has started something quite large. I vote Plant.

[Owrtho]

Hmm, well I'll go ahead and vote for Undead. Also, on the motive chart you forgot boredom. After all, thats what motivates the best villans.

Owrtho

[afroakuma]

Apathetic malice covers that.

Votes tallied.

[Shadow_Elf]

Plant! I want to see a malevolent tree

[Owrtho]

But that requires a desire to harm others. A villan motivated by boredom might just want to stir things up so they aren't bored anymore (for example if they are in power they could pass some akward laws that make everyone hate them but cause no real harm. Like making it manditory to great people with "I'm gunna kill you!" while waving a weapon).

Also, since it seeing the other votes I'm going to change mine from undead to ooze. I might change it later to plant or abberation though (after all, eldritch horrors are awsome and so can be plant monsters).

Owrtho

[KingGolem]

I vote for plant too. You don't see many of those these days.

[afroakuma]

That is malice. Wanting to cause a disturbance to others. The apathetic part is the boredom.

But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I've checkedthe changed votes and tallied them. In the future, please bold your vote... makes it go quicker. Thanks!

[ErrantX]

I vote up Fey, they're neat and full of eldritch horror in their own special way.

-X

[Fako]

You're great at coming up with out-of-this-world things, so I vote Aberration

[streakster]

Plant! We must have more evil plants!

[Bakkan]

I'm going to go ahead and vote for Fey. Evil fairies!

[afroakuma]

Votes tallied.

[Lorien077]

I also vote fey: I have yet to see a really good evil fey villain in DnD.

[afroakuma]

Monster Manual V: The Frostwind Virago. Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" in D&D form.

[Thane of Fife]

I think an Elemental would be intriguing, personally. There are all sorts of weird things to be an elemental of.

[puppyavenger]

I think an Elemental would be intriguing, personally. There are all sorts of weird things to be an elemental of.

the dreaded alemental?

[Blue Ghost]

I cast my vote for undead.

[wadledo]

Aberration Plant!

[puppyavenger]

Aberration! !

fixed that for you

[Saint Nil]

Hmm, should I vote Fey or Aberretion. I do love mind flayers.Aberretion.

[Knaight]

Elemental please.

[aaron_the_cow]

I must say PLANT

[afroakuma]

Wadledo, two types is unfortunately forbidden. Please choose a single one.

All other votes tallied.

[Copacetic]

Aberation. Yes.

[Leliel]

Plant-partially beacuse that's where the votes are going, partially beacuse the idea of a photosynthetic villain is awesome.

[Kellus]

To mix things up, here's another vote for Fey.

[Reverent-One]

I'll throw in my vote for plant.

[Ghill]

I am going to vote Plant, because I want to see a villain with roots.
