Favorite Bad Guys (NEWBIE-FRIENDLY THREAD)

I thought that we had a favourite characters thread so why not have one about our favourite bad guys.

Mine is either Gollum or Saruman.
Gollum because I love the conversations he has with himself and the way he talks.
Saruman because he is the perfect fallen hero but you still get glances of his power and majesty.

What do you guys think.

My favorite has to be third ring wraith to the left. That guy was super cool and I felt that he aslo had a gentler side. Im sure he loved hsi garen and in a way I felt bad that he would never see it again... (sniffle)

Gandalf Favorite Bad Guy

It is difficult for me to choose one bad guy as a favorite. If he were more visible to the reader, I would choose Sauron. From the remaining characters, I will choose Sauruman (AKA Auruman ).

I agree with mithrand1r, 'Auruman was the best bad guy, not because of his personality, but more because of his hair-do. Nobody does thick and bushy hair like Sauruman (save maybe Sam the bushman, or Aragorn of the No-Pants, or good ol' melodramatic-milk-the-cow-while-you-talk Gandalf). I just wish 'Auruman could have had a nice conversation with Seleborn, and then we all would have had a good laugh. ... Or anyway those that know what the heck I'm talking about would.

well if this was the hobbit section it would be Smaug but since I am limited to LOTR books I will have to go with Grond the siege weapn. I think he should count

I'm going to go with Melkor. Totally bad-ass. Yeah, I guess I didn't really like any others. I liked the good guys better (*warm and fuzzy feelings*).

Nazgul

My favourite evil character is probably The Mouth of Sauron.Bacause he is cool in an evil way.

I have to change my previous answer as Haradrim. My favorite baddie has to bve Shagrat. I like all the small evil characters. Shagrat, Gothmog. Not much is known about them but to me they just seem cool... in a cool sortof way.
