Up until now, the "bad guy" in my book was a Vampire Bat and the ultimate "Good Guy" is a Bald Eagle. As it stands now, I am tossing around the idea of changing the Vampire bat to something more challenging for a Bald Eagle... such as perhaps a vulture/turkey buzzard or a yellow headed vulture. That, of course is helping with the whole "bad guy" feel of things since picking a vulture would be obviously a good fit for the overall appearance of a bad guy.
So, i set out to find pictures of vultures and stumbled across a fantastic picture of a King Vulture. To tell you the truth, i don't know that i had ever seen a picture, let alone even know there was such a thing as a King Vulture. With a wing span of 4 to 6.5 feet, the King vulture is the largest of all New World Vultures. Here is the link for Wikipedia... so you can see just what he looks like! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Vulture
I think, in all my wanderings, i have found the perfect guy to fill the shoes of my bad guy character: The King Vulture. He's actually slightly handsome, yet you still want to say, "Yuck" or "Blah" when you see him because you know what he is, a vulture that feasts on rotting carrion.
I will still retain, Gaster, the Vampire bat as the general of the vampire bat army, who quite possibly will be the right hand of our King Vulture. Now, this lead me to another question: What is a good name for the King Vulture?
oh, decisions, decisions... why do i do this to myself?! lol...
