Dios. What a dark figure saddled with a dark fate. He's basically cursed to live the same life over and over again, no wonder he's insane. I think the implication is that he created all the Djelibeybian gods, and the reason these gods existed at all were because they were the ones that were always recreated by Dios. His staff of a snake eating its own tail is apt.

Mr. Teatime is really good.
Does Rust count as a villain? Can't say he brings much good to the series as a person!
I really like Cosmo Lavish. I think that is primarily due to the fact that I find the eyebrow machine very funny.
Oooooh, fun choice!
Carcer, he really stands out as truly evil to me.
Vorbis as a close second.
Vorbis is so good and evil. I love when On considers that Vorbis would absolutely leave a God on their back ,just to see what would happen.
I think Vorbis is worse for me because he's not just doing things for the sake of doing them, he thinks what he's doing is right. He may not believe in Om but he does seem to believe in the church and his place in it. Plus, cruelty to animals, I mean come on.
Mr. Teatime is on the same level as Carcer, too. Pratchett was so good at writing evil characters who are simply doing their thing with no self-awareness. No guilt. No consideration. Blithely non-empathetic.
The Hiver hands down Like... basically an entity of nundualistic evolution through the ages. Tiffany turned manic when possessed and the little "help me" is also relatable
I'd go with Fate; something about the patient malice of a god trying to win a bet just feels right.
The Patrician - his speech in Guard! Guards was fantastic.
Oooooh, it's been too long I don't remember it. Good excuse for a reread!
I think Mr Tulip wins for me. The art stuff, the -ing and his "drug" habit slay me. And I kind of feel bad for him despite his psychopathic murderous tendencies.
