The evil sorceror with an 18" prehensile penis. Women desire him.

Have him be the "pettily dickish" sorcerer or the "overly passive aggressive" sorcerer instead

I wouldn't. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

>the "pettily dickish" sorcerer
Sooo... youtube.com/watch?v=B2pOaNcbRlw basically?

>my sorcerer is an elephant
>your party is invalid

It's the most common fantasy villain archetype.

The most common outside of fantasy is the rich white male.

Pretty this. Most of the "innovations" on the concept are just de-constructions (the evil sorceror was good all along, he was controlled by something eviler, he was just trying to protect his people, ect) that are just as common as the original concept at this point.

The evil sorceror is actually fifteen cats in a hooded robe.

One cat controls the other forteen, but good luck finding out which.

Basically a council of evil wizards all controlling the same body, except this body sheds a lot since it's just a mass of cats that tries to move like a person and such.

You make them an Evil Warlock instead.
