[LordZarth]

And I rest my case. Afroakuma is crazy/has WAY too much time on his hands.

Humanoid. Let's have a human. A really, really fleshed out, evil, evil villain human. With organization. And adventure. And campaign. And... and...

[thegurullamen]

Yeah, I'll agree with Zarth. On both counts.

Humanoid because anthro-villains are more monstrous than anything else.

[Ekeralos]

I vote Monstrous humanoid.

[Shades of Gray]

Humanoid, just a standard humanoid. No plants, swarms, or vermin, humanoids.

[MammonAzrael]

I'm going to say Elemental.

[DracoDei]

I guess I will jump on the bandwagon with Humanoid.

[Keler]

My vote goes to Vermin.

[Pictogram]

Animal, I say.

[RTGoodman]

Hmm... how 'bout Monstrous Humanoid.

[vegetalss4]

I vote for elemental

[blackspeeker]

I've been jonz'n for an ooze. Since these began.

[Hadrian_Emrys]

Humanoid. I'd like to steer the vote towards as low a CR boss as possible. New heroes are just as heroic as seasoned ones.

[Draz74]

Humanoid. Some villain whose main distinctions are in personality and skill, not biology.

[Lord Mancow]

Monstrous humanoid, but preferably one with some sort of shape changing magic so it can look human then ambush them from another direction.

You could even operate it as two villians one shape changed and the other not.

[Zeta Kai]

I agree with the above points. Humanoid.

[afroakuma]

Well it's about time; after all, I did finish the other one.

[vitorgas]

I vote for Humanoid.

[Pronounceable]

It's about time we get a human(oid) from these stuff. Wonder if anyone'll be crazy enough to ask for a swarm...

[Debihuman]

I think humanoids make the best villains and it would be nice to see one that isn't so over the top.

Debby

[Thane of Fife]

I'll vote Outsider. I'd like to see a Yugoloth or something.

[Llama231]

We need a plant villain.
Besides Orcworts, nothing even comes close to this besides generic monsters.

[The Neoclassic]

Monstrous humanoid strikes me as more exciting than just a regular humanoid.

[Adumbration]

Humanoid. Becouse less exciting is sometimes more exciting.

[Magnor Criol]

I'll cast a vote for Dragon. There's a whole lot of directions you could go with a dragon.

Of course, the same could be said for humanoid.

[afroakuma]

There's a whole lot of directions I could go with anything; see previous villains.

[Limos]

All aboard the Bandwagon!

Humanoid

[UnChosenOne]

Humanoid. Yes, I'm realy voting humanoid.

[Edwin]

Just to go against the stream, I'll support the Monstrous Humanoid people.

[The Neoclassic]

(When shall voting for type end and race begin? Just curious; I hope to keep up with this exciting democratic activity.)
