Mogdred without a doubt!!!

Donna, I was thinking that just during dickons quest how good a enemy ariadne was. she always gets the nervs racing!
Yeah, I think she's also kinda scary if you dont like spiders, especially bloomin massive ones. Sheepishly raises hand It's the way they MOVE Ok?!
The dodgy music (if you can call it that) that accompanies her arrival on the screen isnt exactly calming either.
Ooh, Nasty.......

Yeh, it was the music that scared me too. Treguard would tell everyone they were around her lair, so when you heard it, you knew what was coming their way.

Yeah, it was scary but also really amusing when Treguard would give them massive hints to 'get a move on' the frustration must have been immense, you can tell that sometimes he just wants to yell 'cast a bloomin spell you silly kids or your going to get eaten!'
Ooh nasty...

Lillith. (With the Highest kill rate she has to be in the list.)
Here is an intresting little fact I once got the chance to play The Goblin Master Skarkill.
In a school Pantomime not so long ago "Aladdin in TV Land"
"LOVLEY"
I had the eye-patch, the axe and The Irons but no Grippa & Rhark.
I was the villianes henchman (as you may have guessed) and got to captuer on of the goodguys with my manacles.
I think I did an ok job of playing Skarkill I have the voice almost down to a T.
I have a photo of me in my Skarkill get-up knocking around somewere if I can find it would you like me to attempt to load it up on to the web?

Lord Fear, funny, evil and those glowing red eyes used to freak me out when I originally watched it all those years ago.
-
Lord fear was more a comedian to me he was just too funny hes my fave as a baddie who entertains me.
But for actually being bad then Mogdread and Morghanna are mine both of them killed off dungeoneers.
They arent really main baddies but did anyone else find Assassins kinda creepy just the fact they said nothing and held the knife almost mike myers style hehe. and the music oooooooh creepy.
-
so which one?? i prefered mordrerd he killed quite a few in his tiome and was more scary malice waqs silly she had no influencin the dungeon (althogh she did do a very good job at chasing dickons team and sending them into blades and the falling bridge they finally got rid of the evil bitch!!!
i liked morgana she was reponsible for level 3 dewtyhs in s 3 (i liked th ooh verynasty off treguard but did not like the fact there was only 1 gong in ther death full rapid skull would have been asppropriate!!! at a far pace!!
mogdred frightened me!!!!
-
Malice I think, although none of them were particularly well written. Mogdred was superbly performed by John Woodnutt, and that arguably disguised how hoky his dialogue was ("Quail, intruder!", "you cannot stand before my power!" Phhhwwwaaaaauugghhh!!). Morghanna we didn't see nearly enough of, so no personality really developed at all. Malice at least appeared frequently and did a few different things, so even though she just seemed to have Mogdred's powers and Hordriss' dialogue, at least that was something.
-
Mogdred scared me as well! Even writing about him makes me a little nervous. Except that in retrospect, his name makes him sound like a spooky cat. (I think that the 'Series 3 Cat Puzzle' should have been called 'The Moggies Of Dread' as a tribute!)
The Series 3 scene with Morghanna sending the floating axe after the Dungeoneer is one of my favourites from all the Knightmare I have seen.
-
yeah the floating axe was eraly good and veryunderused!!!!
-
I also remember that I'd never heard the words 'quail' and 'pledge', before hearing Mogdred use them at the age of 7. (As in, I was 7, not Mogdred.)
-
(Thanks Drass, I promise you we figured it out! )
I can't agree about Mogdred's dialect. He was like the arch-villain in a million US adventure cartoons. He was scarier than Lord Fear, I acknowledge, but that was because John Woodnutt was absolutely terrific in the part. It was really Woodnutt who was so terrifying, not Mogdred. In the cold light of day, Mog's dialogue was a pathetic, pooey pile o' pants, and he'd have been useless if he'd been played by practically any other actor.

This raises an interesting point; a lot of us, when we first watched Knightmare, didn't do so in 'the cold light of day', but in the autumn twilight (with or without curtains drawn, lights off, etc.); and retrospect, often via this Forum, is a useful way of thinking about what it all meant. Back in the 80s, I had no developed concept of cliche or generic arch-villainy; but now, in whatever year this is, it's easier for me to appreciate that Mogdred was unoriginal and hackneyed in some ways.
-
It was much the same for me back then. I had a regular diet of US cartoons and very little else at the time, so with Megatron, Cy-Kill, Mumm-Ra, Miles Mayhem and the rest to feed my imagination, it never crossed my mind that a bad guy could ever be anything more than an power-mad egomaniac with a neverending supply of diabolical laughs.
Nowadays I've encountered all sorts of much more complex villains in countless novels and more mature television shows (not to mention Mogdred's own successor), and it all puts Mogs into a very sad perspective.
-
Exactly.
Mogred was just there to server as a evil force in the dungeon he had no real character.
Morgana main function in the dungeon was as Mogred's Henchwoman and that was about it, and with only two apperences she never made much Impact realy.
Malice was the only one of the three as I said earlyer who had her own character. She could be helpful or as in Dickren's case a ver threterning presencs to dungeoneers and there quests. She also unlike Morgana seemd to be a rival to Mogred instead of a lacky.
Its a shame they didn't carry the character forward and we got stuck with "Old Icy Knickers" Acandra. Urgggh she was worse then Mogred and Morgana Combined.
