Thinking about picking up my old fantasy novel that was working so hard on about two years ago… But I am not very fond of my villain.  I have lots of great ideas for creatures, and battles, and certain interactions between characters… but my villain idea is lame, and it should feel lame.

So… are Pukwudgies scary? If not, would you prefer to see a humanoid villain or a mindless-creature-type villain?  Humanoids are difficult to write evilly, but easy to imagine physically.  I could create an intelligent creature villain, but then why would it be evil?

Ideas or suggestions are welcome! Throw anything you’ve got at me!
