* Flemeth from [[Dragon Age]] is an odd blend of this trope and [[Retired Monster]]. If even half the stories you hear about her are true, she skipped over the [[Moral Event Horizon]] centuries before the story even began. However, she despite her vast power and alleged ruthlessness, she never actually ''does'' anything openly antagonistic, and has actually helped the protagonists on several occasions (including saving them from what would have otherwise been certain death). She often speaks in riddles and seems to enjoy playing up her crazy-old-woman-who-lives-in-a-swamp persona. |

* Asura's [[Old Master]] Augus from ''[[Asura's Wrath]]'' is one of the most powerful warriors in the setting, and his strength is said to be on par with Deus'. He's also a crazy [[The Hedonist|hedonist]] who has no goal in life beyond enjoying the pleasures it offers: [[Dirty Old Man|carnal knowledge of beautiful women]], [[The Alcoholic|fine wines]], [[Big Eater|good food]], [[Blood Knight|and the sheer joy of battle.]] |

* Yuyuko Saigyouji in ''[[Touhou Project]]'' is one of the most ancient and powerful inhabitants of Gensokyo, known for her seemingly carefree attitude towards every matter that hides a brilliant scheming mind, a psychology so weird as to be incomprehensible even to those used to dealing with the most eccentric youkai, and her tendency to send her personal servant, Youmu Konpaku, on various tasks and manipulating events as a way to teach her lessons. Too bad Youmu is somewhat dense and narrow-minded and rarely understands what Yuyuko wanted to teach her, if she even notices there was something to learn at all. |
