Ranking The Major Buffy The Vampire Slayer Villains From Worst To Best

7. Drusilla

Mad as a box of frogs, and just as unpredictable, Drusilla ensured that the high-camp and out-of-place accents of The Master's heyday weren't sorely missing from Buffy's second season.

Acting as the Nancy Spungen to Spike's Sid Vicious, the first time we see Dru, she's in a manic and weakened state. Often babbling incoherently about the cosmos whilst having tea parties with her dolls, there was never any doubt that Dru was dangerous, but we'd have to wait a while before we found out just how dangerous she was.

After having her strength restored by Spike, Dru takes on a much more assertive and forthright position as Buffy's nemesis, constantly thinking of new and creative ways to make her life a misery.

Although of all the things we see Drusilla do during her tenure, it's the murder of Kendra that remains her most iconic moment. She slithers into the fray and easily hypnotises the rookie Slayer, before slashing her throat with just her fingernails. It's simple, shocking, and undeniably badass all at the same time.

She was granted even further room to shine in Angel, but it's her time in Sunnydale that fans will always cherish the most.
