'''[[Player Character|Vault Dweller]]:''' I am the bringer of death. Fall to your knees and beg for mercy... Or give me a sandwich; I'm pretty hungry. }}
** In ''[[Fallout 3]]'' Fawkes doesn't really have great ''lines'' for boasts, but his voice actor's ''delivery'' of lines like "YOU!!! LOSE!!!", "I WIN AGGAAAAIN!!!!" and just his regular guttural screams qualify.
** In ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', the Courier may deliver these if you take the [[Exactly What It Says
{{quote| '''The Courier:''' I'll wear your head like you wear that dog's.<br />

{{quote| "Obstruction detected. Composition: titanium alloy supplemented by photonic resonance barrier. Probability of mission hindrance: '''ZERO PERCENT'''!"<br />
Line 44:
* Gig from ''[[Soul Nomad and The World Eaters]]'' introduces himself to the main character thus shortly before trying to [[Demonic Possession|possess]] him: "...Me? Oh, just the most '''hard-core ass-kicker''' to ever walk the planet, is all. The destroyer of everything! The commander of the World Eaters! But hell, you can just call me Gig."
** And of course there's his LEGENDARY lines right before the battle that ends with him sealed in the black sword: "Come on, you little shits! Are none of you man enough to stand up to me?! Then put your heads between your legs while I cut you down one by one! Ah, finally someone steps up! You numbnuts better not waste my time!"
* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] gets one of these in ''[[
** Yeah, the ''[[

'''Medic''': Now? ''Let's go practice medicine.'' }}
* Manfred von Karma in ''Phoenix Wright: [[Ace Attorney]]'' uses his perfect record, his claims to perfection, and tons of dread to intimidate his opponents. In ''Trials and Tribulations'', Godot claims to have never been defeated as a prosecutor, using this to intimidate Phoenix; subverted when it shortly after is revealed it's because he's never had a case before. {{spoiler|As a prosecutor.}}
* [[
** Subverted, in that despite being "darkness incarnate", Gul'dan went out like a bitch. The boast is said as he's ''bleeding to death.''
** Also from ''[[
{{quote| '''Mannoroth''': Stupid, pitiful creature. I am the rage in your heart. I am the fury in your thoughts. I alone empowered you to bring chaos to this world, and by the endless void you ''shall!''}}
** Naturally, [[Big Bad|Arthas]] gets one of his own:
Line 118:
** "[[Fate Worse Than Death|Death is not the end for you.]] [[Eldritch Abomination|I have seen to it.]] [[Torture Cellar|For eternity,]] [[This Is Sparta|you. Are. MINE!]]"
* [[Viewtiful Joe|Hulk Davidson]] introduces himself: "You know who I am? You know who I am? I'm the one that put that scar on Captain Blue's face! You'll be lucky to get out with your ''life!''"
* The "Jersey" accented Male voice in ''[[
* The Arbiter in ''[[Halo]] 2'' has a very simple one:
{{quote| '''Half-Jaw:''' You are the Arbiter, the will of the prophets. But these are my Elites. Their lives matter to me. Yours does not. <br />
Line 196:
** And this one:
{{quote| '''Naked Snake''': And you're forget one more very basic thing. You don't have what it takes to kill me.}}
* "I am matter... I am antimatter... I can see your past... I can see your future... I consume time... and I will consume you!" -- [[Bonus Boss|Culex]], ''[[
** [[Super Mario Bros.|Bowser]] absolutely revels in going into these. His ego really shines at the end of ''[[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story
{{quote| ''' {{spoiler|Dark Bowser}}''': Soon, this kingdom will vanish along with all who dwell within. And you too will sleep eternally in the dark powers' embrace!<br />
'''Bowser''': [[Evil Laugh|GWAHAHA!]] Great dark hurricane! Seriously, perfect backdrop for an awesome final battle! You really sweat the details! ...Listen up! You're saying the kingdom will vanish? '''NOT TODAY! THIS KINGDOM IS ALL MINE! SO YOU VANISH!''' }}
* "[My] name is Sanger. Sanger Zonvolt. The Sword That Cleaves Evil!" and "There is nothing my [[BFS|Colossal Blade]] cannot cleave!" -- Sanger Zonvolt, from ''[[Super Robot Wars]]''.

* ''[[Planescape: Torment]]''
{{quote| '''Vhailor:''' When the injustice is great enough, justice will lend me the strength needed to correct it. None may stand against it. It will shatter every barrier, sunder any shield, tear through any enchantment, and lend its servant the power to pass sentence. Know this: There is nothing on all the Planes that can stay the hand of justice when it is brought against them. It may unmake armies. It may sunder the thrones of gods. Know that for all who betray justice, I am their fate. And fate carries an executioner's axe.<br />
'''Nameless One:''' I see.<br />
Line 252:
** Welkin also has one very early, when his squad doesn't really trust him as a commander. He examines the current military situation (a shitload of troops holds a bridge that the good guys can't take back without heavy losses) and promptly declares that he can take it with ''just his squad'' if they trust him. They don't believe him, but let him try. {{spoiler|He, of course, succeeds.}}
*** Note that he does this by driving a tank through a river. A TANK through a RIVER people.

'''Kaiser Dragon''': "Humans and your insatiable greed... Your lust for power leads always to a lust for blood... This place is a sanctuary for wayward souls... What business have you filthy creatures here? You slaughter my brethren, and befoul their rest with the profanity of your continued existence... You should not have come here. In the name of all dragonkind, I shall grant you the death you desire. I am the dealer of destruction... I am the font from which fear springs... I am Kaiser... And your time is at end." }}

Line 409:
{{quote| "Revenge is the prime ingredient within the fountain of youth."}}
** And Sly's own retort: "That's where you're wrong. The Thievius Raccoonus doesn't create great thieves. It takes great thieves to create the Thievius Raccoonus."
