-How do you make an evil or bad character?
-How do you make them seem,actually threatening?

My bad characters seem non threatening :p
-What makes a character a bad guy?

-Whats the scariest kind of bad guy?
(monster, person who kills for fun,etc.)
But how do I make the character seem actually threatening? I've watched some shows and read some books and the villians always seemd to be no big deal. very non-threatening.
I like your answer,Always Ariana.
 
The worst kind of person is a person with nothing to lose.

And a villain usually doesn't hold the same morals and values as your hero, in fact they hold the opposite of what the hero believes.

It is easy to see a monster doing monstrous things. it is very hard to see a someone in a human form doing things human just should not.
 
Well, the villains are just as important as your protagonist. Your main character has some type of goal they must achieve and that is what the protagonist is trying to stop. They should both be struggling to receive what they want or what they're trying to do. Your main character may want something that may be a threat to the villain and vise verse. Have fun with it, make your characters unique.
