Personally Ashtar always looked awesome with by looking like a mix of a mecha and a demonic warlord

I'm very simple.
>design is a mix of the main antagonists from the two previous games
>the character and monster designs for DQ3 were done when, in my opinion, toriyama's designs peaked (king piccolo saga)
>just like king piccolo his design just screams "demon lord"
it's not the most complex villain design in the world but I'll always consider zoma's design my all time favorite

You can tell he's the evilest of all by the fact that no other villain in the history of games or anime has bigger shoulder pads

I've liked ExDeath's design since day one, especially the faceless, full helmet, the fabrics below his waist and being light blue as opposed to many other evil characters dressed in purple or black.

I'd probably be able to find a cooler design if I thought about it, but this is the first thing that came to mind for freaking me the fuck out when I was 8. Despite reddit memeing him into oblivion, my favorite video game boss will always be Handsome Jack

Wow, I guess it's not. I always assumed it was official art when I found it since it hits the 80/early 90s anime look on the head but I guess its by an artist going by Hellstinger.
There is some official promo art of him however though I can't find a higher quality scan

In a sea of games where the final bosses turn into otherwordly creatures, I was surprised to see a humanoid final boss like this.

Liked the look the first time I put eyes on him. Everything is cool: the coat, the gun, the hat...The colors are dark and memorable, the theme is badass but doesn't miss the silliness.

Then you fight him and he is cool in motion too, with all sorts of interesting moves, like speeding through the stage, laying traps, shooting bullets in odd trajectories, clouds that inflict effects on the Kongs, even turning invisible, etc.

I love both Golbez and ExDeaths designs, they're tied for my favourite villain aesthetics. They both also have very menacing and threatening main themes. The Tower of Zot variation of Golbez' theme is fucking awesome.
On top of the menacing themes, I feel like as villains they actually feel like more of a threat than the usual typical RPG villains.
They don't make 'em like that anymore. They finally tried again with the Judges in FF12 but they didn't ever actually feel threatening.

I know people go on about "le bleeding/exploding eyeball" or Zero Two's design but for being very simple, Zero has a nice design.
Kirby villains in general have good designs, but something about Zero's simplicity and looking ominous while in shadow in the bad ending works for me.

>>9430890
Both Zero and Zero Two have excellent design, especially considering what they're supposed to be, Kirby's opposite. If there is Light (Kirby) there must also be Dark (Zero), just like in Castlevania with the Belmonts and Dracula, there will always be a counter-force.
Zero was overshadowed by Zero Two probably because of the angel wings and halo, on top of the music.

Her actress's performance is downright fantastic and you wouldn't expect it in a game with the amateur acting from everyone else.
That scene in particular where she shuts out the lights and traps you with a many of her units was the perfect mix of shock and a display of her power
