    Default Villains Known for Devious Traps

    I'm trying to write down the names of villains in some of the more deviously trapped dungeons in D&D official canon. So far I have Halaster Blackcloak and Acererak.

    Vecna. Because every trap is his domain.

    Asmodeus. If you aren't dead of a trap, it's because he needs you to die in some other way.

    Any Kobold. Just because.

    I play primarily 3.5 D&D. Most of my advice will be based off of this. If my advice doesn't apply, specify a version in your post.

    Ah yes, I have heard of him; the infamous Master Baiter.

    Let's not forget his partner "Switch."

    I think they were in the module "The Deadly Death Traps of Fatal Trap Island."

    I hear Elminster practiced this for a short stint while researching divine magic.
    Me: I'd get the paladin to help, but we might end up with a kid that believes in fairy tales.
    DM: aye, and it's not like she's been saved by a mysterious little girl and a band of real live puppets from a bad man and worse step-sister to go live with the faries in the happy land.
    Me: Yeah, a knight in shining armour might just bring her over the edge.

    Eh.

    His traps are merely meh.

    His advertising skills, however, are second to none.

    He was also an excellent singer.

    Pity that he met his end at the teeth of giant rats when climbing out of the pit of molten cheese. Killed by one of his own traps! I think the poets call that "irony."

    As D&D villains go, he was one of the more memorable ones. How would Keep on the Borderlands fared if it wasn't for Trappa Von Trapp?

    He was no Baron Pineapple, mind you ...
