Thought I'd already done this thread, but that was another forum. Copy'n'pasting:

Naraku, from InuYasha. What makes Naraku truly horrifying for me is his intellect. Yeah, he's a shapeshifter and a demonic cannibal who can extrude parts of himself to become slaves to do his bidding, but his real power is his ability to read people. Naraku knows exactly what buttons to push, and exactly what to say to get people to do whatever he wants them to. Everyone around him is simply a pawn in his game for absolute power. And he's not just a genius either; he's beautifully twisted --a sadistic monster who singles out the ones he can hurt the most, and knows the very best way to twist the knife. It's all part of his plan, as he believes the negative emotions are more powerful than the positive, and the more rage and hatred and despair the Shikon jewel soaks up, the more powerful it will become (and, by extension, the more powerful it will make him when he finally consumes it). He's intentionally causing as much pain and misery as he can around the jewel (and, by association, the show's heroes). And he doesn't make mistakes. If it ever seems like he's making a mistake, like things are turning against him, it's only because that's what he wants it to look like. Other villains might fake their deaths to gain the element of surprise --Naraku actually died, knowing exactly what everyone around him would do. The events of Castle Beyond the Looking Glass were flawlessly orchestrated. The outcome --and Naraku's resurrection-- completely inevitable, given the personalities and natures of all involved. Even in defeat, Naraku won.

Kagura, from InuYasha. She's one of Naraku's spawn, but will stop at nothing to escape him (his death is secondary, what she really wants is Freedom). Like Naraku (having, like Sin from Milton's Satan, inherited the best qualities of her creator), she is an expert "player," and everything and everyone around her is nothing more than a tool. A means to an end, to be used and discarded. She makes alliances, keeps secrets, plots betrayals. . . She is a wind demon, and --like the wind-- she refuses to be tamed. Yet she has no choice, because Naraku knows her as well as he knows himself. Her every betrayal, every secret, every thought is orchestrated. Controlled. She can conceive of nothing except what Naraku wishes, and he's given her just enough lead to realize this (thus causing her no end of anguish and driving her to ever greater heights of treachery as she tries to outsmart him). Naraku hasn't just robbed her of her freedom, but of free will itself. She's not so much a villain, but less even than a victim, with no hope other than to turn her rage and pain outwards --a living weapon in Naraku's control.

Sesshoumaru, from InuYasha. My favourite demon. His name means "perfection in killing," and he lives up to it. No enemy can stand against him, and he routinely slaughters entire armies just to practice a new weapon or technique (or if they just happen to be in his way when he's out for a walk). Not just a demon, but a demon Prince (son of the greatest Demon King --Inu no Taisho), Sesshoumaru is as high above other demons as they are above humans --he regards humans as insects. Barely worth his attention (as I said, not even worth the effort to go around them instead of through them), though, on occassion, entertaining. What gets me about Sesshoumaru is how reasonable he is. He almost never loses his temper, remaining calm and alert at all times. His grudge with InuYasha isn't a matter of being Evil, but (in his mind) a simple matter of law --he (the older brother) wanted InuYasha's sword, and InuYasha (the younger and illegitimate brother) refused. He said no to a Prince. This alone is an offense punishable by death. Of course, the other issues that Sesshoumaru has with InuYasha (blaming him for Father's death, an inferiority complex, simple personal animosity) are all bubbling so far under the surfa

I agree with what you say about the Reavers. Imagination makes them that much scarier. That's why I picked Michael Meyers-- I thought the original Halloween was so scary, because you barely saw him until the end. (I saw it at just way too young of an age!)
