Would it make sense for a character to say "Addio, minchione."?

The character is looking at a dying creature he despises.

If the character is looking at somebody he hate not much or at least would sound weak

"Minchione" is an insult, but is mostly used in friendly way, so it's usually used for these fake-hate shittalking with friends

"Coglione" have mostly same meaning but is more versatile, in the sense like "minchione" can be used in friendly way but also as not-friendly insult to truly offend, like when driving some asshole cut your way and almost cause incident being stupid, you're far more likely to scream "coglione!"
Both insults imply target is stupid, not smart, easy to trick etc
So if character wants mock that creature for have been stupid, then "Addio, coglione." could works

If want add to the insult some mockery go for coglione

If you want express just hate/disrespect "Addio, stronzo." is more straight

If is very deep hate we would go for the mother like "Addio, figlio di puttana." or "Addio, figlio di troia."

Wow! Thanks!!!!

It is deep hate. What would you choose between "Addio, figlio di puttana." and "Addio, figlio di troia?

Acknowledgement in the graphic novel: 2 choices
-my sherdog brother Bacco
-you PM your name

You're welcome, both mean same thing (whore) but would go for "Addio, figlio di puttana.", way more used

This if you stick to standard italian, regional dialects(wich are far more common in crime world) have their own slighty different versions or depending on area even may even use another word, but feels way to complex your life for no reason lol

First choice is funnier

I would take filio di troia, because one of my favourite insult is enfant de truie
