The Revived (villain idea)
Here's one for you Dm's that want a villain that will physically fight the players multiple times.
There are few people who can cheat death, & even fewer that can do it on a regular basis & yet The Revived does it on a regular basis. Wether from magic, technology, the influence of gods, & or from the effort of an even greater villain, they nonetheless always seem to come back. Due to this, many types of 'The Revived' tend to be reckless but they also tend to gain knowledge about there enemies though their rebated failers.

Types of 'The Revived'
The Essences: They may die, but they will always live thought there soul. The essences has managed to beat death by using necrotic magic to allow there soul to live on after there body. Most of the time, they use the same necrotic magic to make a new body in there lair, but if they are in a drastic situation, they might attempt to possess someone else's body [note if they fail, they may truly die for good]
The Clone: They may die, but they will always live though magic & tecnology. The clone has made the perfect combination of magic copying & technology that allows one to transpher there sentience, & has now a large surplus of bodies to use. The clone will change bodies once the current one is unable to continue & there sentience will just transpher into the next one in the line. Some more logistical 'the clones' use this to help get around the world by just having buildings that contain possible clones all around the world.
The God-Gifted: They may die, but they will always live though the will of a god. The God-gifted has gained the admiration of a god & they do not wish for them to die. The God-Gifted tend to be a very zealous person & will often attack 'disbelievers' or 'heretics' in the name of there god. A good way to defeat them is to have them fall out of favor with there god.
The Summoned: They may die, but they will always live though the will of there master. The Summoned is a being that is not from this realm, but was summoned by an even more heinous villain. Due to there summonedness they cannot die, unless they are killed in the realm that they come from. The summoned tends to be animalist, unformed, & or eldritch-esc.
