One of the best things about Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the rogues' gallery of villains she and the Scoobies face off against, but the one-and-done monsters-of-the-week reveal a harsh truth about the show. Throughout Buffy 's seven seasons , many vampires, demons, and other forces of darkness are introduced, with some being more memorable than others.
Each season also features a " big bad " who drives the overarching supernatural conflict, often culminating in a big battle between villain and Slayer in the season finale. It's these big bads who often get the credit as the best villains in Buffy the Vampire Slayer , though we might not want to sleep on the monsters-of-the-week.
