The Nogitsune
If I’m being completely and totally honest, the Nogitsune itself isn’t the real interesting aspect of the season 3b villain, but more so its host’s body, Stiles. Up until this point, Stiles not only was a fan favorite, but also the token human on the show–he was the glue that grounded all of the supernatural around him. Then, after saving his father in the season 3a finale, he allows his mind to open and let the vengeful spirit in. It’s an interesting development because the stakes are immediately raised when the big bad that the team is fighting is the lovable Stiles–his grappling with his sanity throughout the season, and Dylan O’Brien’s portrayal of both sides, provided some of the best moments the show has ever done.
