* Played with for magnificent, [[Crazy Awesome]] and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|funny]] effect in [[Samurai Warriors]] 2: Nene is a mother to her men - in that she warns them to be careful with their knees and elbows, tells the enemy to stop firing cannons so as not to wake the neighbors (and upon beating them, remarks: "Such weak enemies! Who's feeding them anyway?" with some concern on her face), and, in general, seems to be blissfully unaware of how a battle between two armies is supposed to work - made all the funnier by the fact that she's a very skilled warrior, and that the morale of the men who hear her motherly warnings increases.
* Surprisingly, General Donald Morden from ''[[Metal Slug]]'' was said to have been this back when he was a Vice Admiral in the Regular Army. When he eventually resigned {{spoiler|due to his son's preventable death}}, everyone formerly under his command followed him out, sheerly from loyalty.
* ''[[Super Mario|Bowser]]'': Bowser (an actual father, incidentally) is often portrayed this way:
** ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' seems to paint Bowser as this, as his minions follow Bowser of out of respect for him, despite his numerous losses. For example, before Bowser's minions notice him about to rescue them, they talk amongst themselves how Bowser would surely help them out of their situation. This is likely due to Bowser being the most competent person in their army.
** [[Super Mario RPG]] paints him as this too, he meets up with a goomba that had gone AWOL from the koopa troop and had kids sometime after, rather than throwing a fit and demanding he comes back, he acts understanding and excuses the goomba for his running away and wishes him the best of luck, which paints him as genuinely nice to his own.
