Top 10 Video Game Villains
1) Lavos
Lavos is the main bad guy from one of the best RPGs of all time, Chrono Trigger. Lavos is an alien that came to the planet from outer space in the year 65,000,000 B.C. with the intention of draining the planet of all its energy in order to reproduce. Lavos slumbered for millions of years, gaining more and more power before finally emerging in 1999 AD and destroying the world in what was termed the “Day of Lavos.” At least, that's what happened originally. When your party travels to the future and sees the apocalyptic world and a video of Lavos destroying it, Crono, Marle, and Lucca decide to stop it by any means necessary.
Lavos has thee forms which make for an epic boss battle. The first (seen in the screenshot above) is the scariest looking in my opinion. Just look at that beast! The player can encounter Lavos in a variety of different ways which is pretty cool. They can travel to the Day of Lavos and take him on when he emerges, they can go through the Black Omen to fight him (and skip his first form), or players can fight him at any time in the game by touching a bucket in the end of time.
Conclusion
Villains like the ones found on this list elevated the stakes of games they appeared in. These villains are equally as important to the heroes when it comes to the storyline. Final Fantasy VII just wouldn't have been the same without Sephiroth as the bad guy. There are lots of other evildoers that would have been worthy of inclusion on this list. Kerrigan from StarCraft, Handsome Jack from Borderlands 2, and Dr. Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog are just a few worth honorable mentions. Who do you think should have made the list?

Love the list and yay for adding Lloyd. Not many people think of The Legend of Dragoon or its characters when creating video game lists.
How about the Nemesis!! Should be in the top three!
Cool list, i remember freaking out when i fought psycho mantis. very memorable
Yuri from Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge
[color=red][/color] lolol
where is SHODAN?. It's the best villian of video games, that I can think of...
kane is my favriote villian of all the villians i know of because i have command & conquer 3 tibiueriem wars and o my gosh kane is the best
weres vaas from far cry
Yeah this is a pretty bad list. And having bowser at the bottom? Really?
No mention of Jon Irenicus from Baldur's gate 2?
Massively powerful, utterly contemptuous of anyone lesser than him, could wax philosophical on the nature of power and mortality. And lots of really great quotes:

Surprised there were no DBZ villains
Bad list is bad.
2 metal gear bosses btw. If your gonna make a rule not to include 2 bosses from a franchise you should stick to it.
Kane is not an villian, he's an fictional character.
I've never heard of lavos or kane or the first villian (i can't remember his name), but i agree for all the others, they're all pure evil. Except Bowser; he's just plain greedy, but yes, very persistant.
I would include GLADOS from portal. Her sharp wit and determination puts most male and human villians to shame.
I can really only agree with Sepiroth and Ganon. The others, while some maybe be pretty bad, that's all they are. Bad. Nothing that will leave a mark or be remembered extensively...
Here are few few candidates that could replace some on the list:
-Shao Khan
-M. Bison
-Sagat
-Andross
-Heihachi Mishima
-Brian Fury
-Magneto
-The Black Queen (Battletoads)
There are many more.
Psycho Mantis, command and conquer
Oh the Ps1 memories
Very good list!
