I actually thought the Drode was scarier than Crayak.

Oh sure steal my idea from RAF Classic.  Lol...kidding, hehe.

My favorite is still, and will forever be Taylor.  You can't beat blind, psychotic hate.

Other than that, David was the fiercest enemy (in my mind) if only because he knew their secrets, he was one of them (however temporarily) and 'fell to the dark side'.

And third I have to go with V3, just 'cause, y'know...he held in there the longest against them.

I liked the Drode's personality as a villain more than Crayak's, but all of the "evil" stuff he did was under orders from Crayak, so... *shrugs* It's 50-50 for me, I guess.

Crayak was a personification of evil and that's kind of overdone to the point that it wasn't that scary. Yeah when I think about him being this giant eye/machine thing and screaming it's weird and his scenes in #48 were rather frightening, but the Drode scared me because he was scary in an unconventional way.

I think that sneaky is often scarier than big and mean, which was why he was just creepy. And in MM4 when he just pops into Jake's room and is just standing there...I think I'd be terrified. Having to deal with this guy in weird places is one thing, but in your own house?

I don't know, the fact that he was a trickster and (presumably) sold out his own people to be Crayak's #2 weirds me out.

I picked Tom's Yeerk. The fact that he controlled Jake's brother made the story even more dramatic, especially in final arc. There was always that threat that he would become suspicious of Jake. Even though he never figured it out on his own, there was always that possibility, which made the story more suspenseful.

someone should write the drode chronicles, i bet he could have a cool story, like an evil silver surfer

my favorite is still david, that personal aspect just made him so exciting to read and he was so realistic and yet so freakin evil, love it

I always liked Visser 1. It seemed to me like she was never really evil, just really ruthless in following her mission. And even when she was cooperating with the good guys to help herself, she never really turned traiter and hurt her people, not like David did anyway.

Visser 1 was crazy. Remember how she wanted to put a Yeerk into her daughter's brain to "make her love her"?

Well she just wanted to be loved and unfortunately she didn't see any other alternatives. I don't think that makes her crazy, just desperate.

Exactly!  I'm so glad KA picked Tom's Yeerk to be the central villain of the final arc/battle, it made it all so much more epic and tragic....

Here's my answer from the classic forum:

I love Tom's Yeerk, who is so evil and ambitious, yet sarcastic and funny and clever (more son than Visser 3 at least!).....I mean, check out these lines!

Quote:
<Shut up, Yeerk,> she said. <You're not my
cousin. You're a snail living inside my cousin's
head.>

"Snail? Oh, I'm wounded," the Yeerk inside
Tom answered.


Quote:
"You seem to be experiencing some engine
trouble, Visser," Tom gloated.


and my fave:

Quote:
Tom's face smirked. "Little brother, you've got to know by now: Wars aren't won with clean hands."


And then there's the whole added dimension of being Jake's brother's body, and thus harder/more traumatizing to kill, and being able to REALLY get to Jake and taunt him, using inside knowledge.....

Though Visser 3 could be funny with a very dry sense of humor, he was often too cartoonish for my liking, like Lord Voldemort, though with more depth! wink I did like learning more about him in TAC and the HBC.....but I agree with Visser One that he was often not the sharpest tool in the shed.....

I also wasn't very fond of David--he just annoyed me....

Second to Tom comes Visser One--she was a badass and awesome villain, very intelligent and could be heartless, but still had heart and complexity--I loved her story in "Visser," and always thought she was the most interesting to read about.
"Cassie is quieter than Rachel, more peaceful, like she always understands everything on some different, more mystical level.  I guess you could say I kind of like Cassie......"

Now I'm re-reading the 2 last books, I really like Tom's Yeerk too... but it's too sad that he doesn't appear very often and we don't know his name!!!
Really, he's funny, and intelligent (if he didn't work with Esplin 9466, he would become Visser...)!! So I'd like to see him more in the serie...
