* Mao of ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]]'' claims to ''kill'' people who eat their eggs with salt and pepper instead of hot sauce ( {{spoiler|At least until he unknowingly destroys the embodiment of his love of hot sauce}}), and also wants to kill his dad for accidentally breaking his Slaystation Portable, making him lose 40,000,000 hours of gameplay time. {{spoiler|Turns out his dad is already dead as a result of telling someone about his weaknesses shortly after the aforementioned event, that he's ''extremely'' upset by it, and that he's coping with the loss by denying it happened.}} |

** There's also Laharl from ''[[Disgaea]]'', he appears in ''[[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories]]'' {{spoiler|to drag Etna back to the Overlord's Castle,}} and if you beat him in the first battle he BLOWS UP the world. |

* ''[[Fable II]]'' has assassination missions where the reasons for the assassinations include "He thinks he's so funny", "very overdue library book", "selling chocolates half-eaten", and "random draw for the week." |

* Similar to the above example, ''[[Star Wars: Bounty Hunter]]'' has a number of extremely harsh sentences for minor offenses. As the bounty hunter Jango Fett, the player runs through a handful of locations tracking down bounties or sources of information in his overall mission. Mixed in with the enemies and bystanders are minor bounties, wanted dead, alive, or either. Some of them are real scum: murder, arson, kidnapping, political assassination, etc. Some are not: bounties that are wanted dead (including those wanted dead or alive) include a Gamorrean who killed the animal he threw as part of a competition, a Jawa who is begging outside of a shop owner's store, a Gran who painted slang on some transports, and perhaps the best example yet: a death sentence posted by Sebulba on a man for betting against Sebulba in a podrace. |

* In ''[[Homeworld]]'', the protagonist race builds a mothership, takes it on a test drive, and comes home to find their planet incinerated and 300,000,000 people dead. Why? They violated a 4000 year old ban on interstellar travel, which they weren't even aware of. |

* In a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmOmipBFS64 special movie] for ''[[Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops]] Plus'', a Yellow Genome Soldier ends up winning a race despite the fact that not only was the race meant for GA-KOs and not humans, but he was supposed to act as a referee/race starter. Campbell and Raiden, under Old Snake's command, then repaid him by shooting two RPG-7s at him while he was savoring the victory. |

** Even more so in the animations, where when a mosquito touches one of the eggs, the red bird crushes it to death. Repeatedly. In an additional animation, a butterfly simply ''brushes'' an egg...and gets crushed to death. |
