Greatest Mythical Monster/Villain?

Postby German Nazi Powers » Sun Apr 10, 2011 1:35 pm

The title says it all. I read lots of mythology,and I am a master at Greek and Norse Mythology. It is rather controversial to include the abrahamic faiths,but whatever.

I took a "what fantasy creature are you" test, and i got this:

You Scored as Demon
Demon: Darkness is your sanctuary. Demons are many and are all different in appearence and rank. The most common are the ones that feed off of human souls. They love to make someone fall into their inner darkness. Blood, wrath, murder... You name it they love it. These beings don't care who you are, if they set their sights on you, let's just hope you know a good excorist. They kill any love within you and pull you toward their side. By any means possible. You wish for chaos and hate, you are the Demon.

Also, if this is villains, then dragons wouldn't belong. Not all of them are evil. In fact, it's split 40% good, 40% evil, 20% neutral.

Ehhh, is Loki really a villain? I think he's more complex than the simple Hero/Villain dynamic. Sometimes he does good things and help out the Æsir. Other times, he does play tricks on them. Yes in Ragnarök he is suppose to lead the giants against the gods, but still.

I got quite annoyed after the Haiti earthquake. A baby was taken from the wreckage and people said it was a miracle. It would have been a miracle had God stopped the earthquake.

...And? That's hardly villainous, compared to the things Yahweh did. The Pharaoh even offered to free them; God "hardened his heart" and forced him to keep them enslaved.

Lets throw Yahweh on the list.

there is some interesting evidence that Loki did not become a villain figure until after the introduction of Christianity and the idea of Satan the trickster.
in earlier myths he is a trickster but also the most honorable among the gods, never breaking his word even when the other gods do.
