Aboleths.
They're totally gross, right? Basically big, psionic eels straight out of a Lovecraft short story. Not only are they scheming behind the scenes, sending out their minions to do all their dirty work, but they also have that body-horror ickiness that makes my skin crawl. Hit someone with a tentacle and they turn into a fish person? Barf!
But I guess that's why they're such good Fifth Edition villains. Players don't want to come anywhere near these things. Not that they ever should, mind you, if they're played right. They're smart, weird, and always five steps ahead.
