Line 169:
* ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' has the infamous relationship between Nurgle, Chaos God of Disease, and Isha, Eldar Goddess of Healing. It's kind of one-sided, but it's the closest to nice that a Chaos God can ever get.
** More generally, this is Nurgle's relationship with all his worshipers. He genuinely loves everyone, even his enemies, and will offer comfort and succor to all who suffer the travails of the condition of being mortal. That said succor involves making a person comfortable with the idea of decaying into a bloated and twisted form for however long they may last, and that refusal will result in his followers [[Defeat Means Friendship|battering a person until they accept Nurgle's love]] is irrevelant to the affection he feels for them.
* ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]: Warriors of Chaos'' has a character named Valkia the Bloody. She has a rule called "Consort of Khorne"; it lets her reroll on the Eye of the Gods table if she doesn't like the results. The reason she can is because her patron god, Khorne, who went so far as to resurrect her following her first death, can't stop watching her. This is a god whose throne is made of [[Nothing but Skulls]], mind you.
* [[The Order of the Stick|Rich Burlew]] covered this as a way to make villains more fleshed-out in his Villain Workshop articles. In the presented example, two villainous siblings were honestly planning to divvy up the world between them and rule without fighting each other, but the heroes believed [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]] and assumed they were both gearing up to backstab the other. This led to a very shoddy attempt to play one side against the other that failed in the worst possible way.

* In ''[[Fire Emblem]] 4: Genealogy of the Holy War'' and ''[[Fire Emblem]] 5: Thracia 776'', [[Final Boss|Yurius]] is evil as they come, but even though he's [[Complete Monster|monstrous]], [[Child Eater|twisted]], and [[Demonic Possession|possessed by a Dark God]], he still loves and adores [[Anti-Villain|the rather good]], [[My Country, Right or Wrong|if mis-sided]], [[Dark Magical Girl|Ishtar]] (and despite abhorring the evil he commits, she loves him very much in return). [[What the Hell, Player?|To note: In 4, there's two points where you encounter the couple as bosses]]... [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|and the game lets you have the dreaded Berserk Staff...]]
* The ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' villain Bowser with his seven [[Overlord, Jr.|Overlord Jrs]] and one [[Daddy's Little Villain]]. For this clan, taking over the world is like a family vacation! He even makes sure they each get their own little kingdom to play in/rule-with-an-iron-claw!
* In ''[[Castle Crashers]]'', after you defeat the Conehead Groom a big, burly cyclops enters the scene, picks up the Groom's body, and ''cries''. He then escapes with the [[
* Throughout ''[[Bioshock]]'', it's implied that Andrew Ryan had an illegitimate child. Later, it's revealed that {{spoiler|Jack himself is Ryan's illegitimate son. Fontaine kidnapped and brainwashed Jack to do his bidding precisely because he knew that as evil as Ryan was, even he couldn't bring himself to kill his own son.}}
* The Panda King from [[Sly Cooper]] series has Jing-King.
