it depends on the character but usually a true sadist is much more malevolent than a true coward, the problem with a constantly cowardly villain is they will engage in a lot of self-survival at any costs behavior.. many neutral evil types would fail under this.

however, sadists tend to be more openly malevolent in motives..

also JoElkis, that definition is *not* what we're using here, anyone can be easily scared or lack courage.. to be a villainous trait they must be willing to put others at risk in order to save their own skin.. otherwise there's no point in even having it listed as "cowardly" by itself is not a malicious trait (Cowardly Lion, Courage the Cowardly Dog etc.. all cowards but lacking the malicious values of "willing to take / sell out others to survive" )
