I thought I'd start a new poll because I'm bored, and I apologize.
Who's your favorite Darklord? Click to vote, then post to explain why. Did you pick Gnaag because you like insects with external intestines? Did you pick Haakon because he has the coolest name? Did you pick Vashna because I had Lone Wolf call him a bearnicorn? Did you pick Dakushna because his name is in the Magnamund Companion? Tell us.

Dagnabbit... is there no way to edit a poll? Apparently the board takes exception to Darklord Slooootar's name.

His name is Slûtar and the board has nothing against that. ;D
But... hm, not even with my immense powers can I edit a poll. How stupid.

Oh, thank [insert Holy Person]! The evil Swede is back!
Back on topic, Kraagenskûl, because his appearance in The Masters of Darkness was such a surprise the first time I read it.

Yeah, I know he's got a hat on his name, but I didn't have a hat on the version I wrote. My mistake, and now you can't edit the stûpid pôll.
And before anyone corrects me, I know full well that the ^ diacritical mark is called a circumflex, and I could have easily inserted one using the Character Map, but I forgot.

My personal favorite Darklord is Haakon. I like his name, I like his style, and I like that he's the first Darklord you really get to go toe-to-toe with in the series (since the Sommerdeusexmachina kicks in to murder the hell out of Zagarna for you).

Slûtar, just because of its name that most forums censor.

Slûtar, just because of its name that most forums censor. Including this one, because I didn't take the time to put the lid on the crock pot in the middle of his name. I curse myself for not making an effort.

I have selected Gnaag, he seemed to be a more insidous,personal enemy of LW (oaths uttered end of Book 9) where others were just enemies standing in the way. He was an archenemy that grew as the books continued (and when I found him behind the temple in book 8 he scared the pants off me) and he set the trap at the end of Book 10(Ha-Ha-Mr Bond you fell into my trap). I have to say though, Kraagenskul's appearance in book 12 was so good he is close to favorite, and the teasers about Dakushna that spread over a few books are good too.

Zagarna. He sacked the monastery for crying out loud. Although Vashna takes a close second, second only because he's hairy.
I used to think Vashna was the demoness on the cover(American Edition) of Legacy of Vashna. Imagine my surprise when I found out he was a big rat-dog thing some 10 years later.
But there's no mistaking Zagarna. I mean, the guy had a second mouth and was 20 feet tall. Which does raise some issues when getting in and out of Kaag, but I digress. Or am I wrong about the 20 feet thing? I'm fairly certain the Legends said two stories, which is roughly 20 feet.
The way I do canon is: Gamebooks come first If they don't say, then the RPG gets it If it doesn't say, then the Legends have the final word

I just spoke to my brother ( the infamous Moondancer, mentioned elsewhere ) and although he wont register a vote, his favorite was Haakon ( but that had more to do with Book 5 then Haakon's character) and I must say, Book 5 is such a good concept; two stories in one and some stand out moments( especially in the second half, in fact the action never lets up), anyway his choice is Haakon, and his favorite companion is Banedon (flying boats and dwarves rocks he said, and Banedon is not a wooser from here on)

I was gonna go for Kraagenskul because he has a mega-cool name, but really I need to actually refresh my memory of what all the DLs look like before I make a decision. Any sites that have pictures of the whole lot?
