* The Englishman Mister "Pief" (Peeve?) from a story by [[Wilhelm Busch]] who walks around while always looking through a telescope.

* Foxbat from the ''[[Champions]]'' setting is completely convinced that he is a great, powerful comic book [[Super Villain]].
* Some of the Malkavians from ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'' could get this way. They tended to be really scary at the same time if they're played well.
* "Mad" Jack O'Bannon, king of Inismore, from ''[[7th Sea]]''.
* House Criamon of ''[[Ars Magica]]''. They view the physical world as a series of metaphors and symbols and spend their entire lives trying to interpret everything around them the way literary scholars interpret novels, so getting a Criamon to express her thoughts on ''anything'' is a little bit like communicating across a language barrier via Babelfish translations.
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'': the Ravnica block gives us the Izzet. Red/blue, it turns out, isn't quite right in the head, considering their hobbies include routing magic through the heads of goblins with an interesting variety of psychological conditions. (The goblins, that is, not the magic. [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=97204 Until the magic has gone through the goblin, that is].)
* The Mystara D&D setting is home to the d'Ambreville family of wizards, who seem susceptible to an hereditary strain of this trope. As any d'Ambreville who isn't a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] is usually a freakin' trigger-happy psycho, siding with the loony ones is usually the best bet.
