Now, like I said in my last post, I'm running a D&D campaign in two weeks, and as that date draws nearer the anxiety of wanting a BBEG stat block is overwhelming me. I know that this campaign will be a normal length, not a one shot. So, I will not this stat block for a long time. But I've never created a stat block of my own so I need help. Thanks in advance.
My first question is, why create from whole-cloth when you can just iterate on the state block of the monster you want? The game has hundreds of state blocks already. Why ae you worrying over the extra work?
That said, what sort of BBEG are you trying to make? Maybe we can help you out.

For a BBEG of that caliber, you may want to consider maybe a Death Knight. Since that is a CR 17 monster, and I'm not sure what level range you plan on having him confront the party, you might scale back some of its powers or look to a different lower CR monster like a Shadar-kai Shadow Dancer, Blackguard, or Githyanki Knight.
Once you sort of have your base monster concept locked in, you can tweak things to your liking.

I honestly wouldn’t even worry about making it until you need it. Your time is much better spent prepping the next 1-2 sessions than something that won’t come up for however many months or years.
your a DM right? If you could I have another thread named "Share hombrew maps here" if you could share a homebrew map there it would be deeply appreciated

I'm afraid I don't have anything digital to share.
But I would suggest checking out Dyson Logos' website or, better, his blog. He offers a ton of amazing, cool free maps for personal use.

Well I wanted him to sort of be like an evil knight. Almost like an Oathbreaker Paladin. If you could help me out with that id be extremely grateful.
