   [continued from previous message]   
      
   Glory. But Glory was not a demon. She’s a god. Glory was as hilarious and   
   off-the-wall as she was completely terrifying. Her strength appeared   
   limitless and Buffy knew she was no match for her. Yet it’s her ability to   
   suck the life force out of a person using only her fingers that made Glory   
   so terrifying. It’s a horrific act that left her victims mentally lost and   
   babbling incoherently. And when it happened to Tara, it’s utterly   
   heartbreaking.   
           [always my favorite]   
      
   Dark Willow - Willow was Buffy’s trusted friend from the very beginning of   
   the show. And when her magical exploits started to get out of hand, it’s   
   only Willow’s girlfriend Tara who seemed to notice just how dangerous it’s   
   all becoming. She left and Willow eventually saw the danger and gave up   
   magic altogether. So when Tara was killed later in series six, having just   
   got back together with Willow, the magic returned with a vengeance and Dark   
   Willow was born, fuelled by grief and rage. The terror was never more   
   shocking than when she finally caught up with Tara’s killer, Warren.   
      
   Gnarl - When Gnarl showed up at the beginning of series 7, there’s a lot   
   going on for the Scooby gang: Willow had just returned to Sunnydale and was   
   somehow unable to see her friends, just as they weren’t able to see her.   
   Gnarl was one of the more gruesome Buffy villains as he had a venom in his   
   fingers that paralyzed his victims but kept them wide awake. He then made   
   them watch, unable to move, as he took tiny chunks out of their stomach and   
   ate them like strands of spaghetti. Which was what happened when Willow got   
   trapped underground with this creepy new creature, believing that her   
   friends had abandoned her.   
      
   Caleb - When Nathan Fillion’s Caleb first appears in 'Buffy', viewers   
   believed him to be a hero. A potential slayer was on the run and he happened   
   to drive by just as she was in need of rescue. He’s dressed like a priest,   
   too, so there’s a brief moment where you breathed a sigh of relief. This   
   being Buffy so, of course, the relief was short-lived. He called the girl   
   vile names and then told her to pass a message to Buffy – before stabbing   
   her and throwing her out of the car. We later see that Caleb’s strength –   
   thanks to his alliance with The First – was so strong that he could render   
   our slayer unconscious with just one hit. However, it’s his utter hatred for   
   all girls that really gets under your skin. Caleb firmly believed that girls   
   were sinners and unclean and they must be punished – by him. And of course   
   he insisted on doling out this punishment with chilling calm, a powerful   
   right hook and an ‘Amen’.
