Lolth
The Drow spider-goddess, queen of the Demonweb Pits, and extremely overexposed famous villain, Lolth got a pretty big boost from all the drow-themed Forgotten Realms novels. But aside from those, she's an effective villain, even if you downplay the whole dark elf seductress thing.
Of course, Lolth's TRUE form is a spider. Not a drow, not a drider, but a complete spider. She tends to hold back on that one, since it scares people away.
