I'va already askes about beautiful people, so here is the next question. Who is the ugliest living person (I'm not talking about undead, monsters and animals) in the Realms?

Manshoon. He's a cockroach turned to man, or vice-versa. |

| Elminster. That old dude maybe is charismatic but his gray scalp and wrinkled skin is just unattractive for me. |

| The main character in Faces of Deception is, as I recall, most unpleasant to look upon. I don't recall the guy's name, though -- I hated the book, and haven't read it in a long time. |

| I don't think I've ever deemed anyone in the Realms as "ugly." In fact, I've gone on record -- over on the Wizards boards -- for saying that I found even the image of Aumvor the Undying from Champions of Ruin somewhat appealing. Seriously. |

My vote goes to Aumvor the Undying. Disgustingly fat, repulsive freak of nature right there.  |

Well, existentially I would say Elminster and Storm, as of the events in "Elminster Must Die!". But physically, maybe Riven, Second Chosen of Mask? Those teeth of his are GNARLY!! |

| Lady Polaris, when she got extremely fat, looked really hideous. Far more disgusting than the oil-smeared face of Samas, the Zulkir of Gluttony. |

Some of the creatures dredged up in the mind of Richard Lee Byers in the Haunted Lands trilogy. I almost had to put the books down a couple of times after reading some of the descriptions of the undead. The story was too good however, and I kept going back for more. Some pretty ugly folks going on in there.  |

Indeed. Xingax being the prime example. But the OP mentioned living person, NOT UNDEAD, monsters, nor animals.  |

| Hmm, Well, for being hit with the ugly tree (A stick is just not big enough) I'd say Obould is a great candidate for "Fugly Dude of the Year". He's an orc, for heaven's sake- a race KNOWN for being ugly and smelly. Aaand he's bigger and hairier than most. And has that whole "Chosen of Gruumsh" thing going. Not a guy I'd want to be seen with on a date- or ANYWHERE!! How did he get kids, again?! Oh yeah, right. They're ALL fugly! |

A rat is handsome to a rat, a snake to a snake. By the standards of orcs, Obould is probably sex on legs. Or it could just be women are attracted to power.
As for El, most recent art of him I've seen has him as a dead ringer for Sean Connery, who's been voted as one of the sexist men on the planet well into his 70s. Make of that what you will.
Personally I've found the more recent renditions of Drizzt, specifically the version of him on the cover of The Orc King, to be down right ugly. Then again, that could just be the facial expression. |

| I find all the images of Drizzt in the book covers really ugly, at least in those I happened to see. |

| Golskyn is ugly. But he's hardly a human. His grafts replaced almost all his human parts. |

| How about Whisper the half-orc assassin from Pools of Radiance? |

I think it's far worse when these catwalk hero types constantly ballet against equally revolting catwalk villains *coughDrizztcough* (sorry, ahem, something distasteful stuck in my throat)
Gimme a decent power-insane lich or scummy orc assassin any day. |

| Voting for Aumvor. The most abominable freaky lich I ever seen. No wonder he could only use the crown of horns to get himself a woman, lol. |
