Line 276:
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|Pigma]] [[Only in It For the Money|Dengar]] from ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]'' is the em[[Stealth Pun|bodi]]ment of this trope.
* Azmodan in ''[[Diablo III]]''. "Bastard" is probably an understatement, since he's the Prime Evil embodiment of Sin leading a demonic army bent on Sanctuary's destruction. His girth is justified since Gluttony is a Sin.
* The [[Dead Rising]] series has more than
* Roadhog in ''[[Overwatch]]'' is one of the most psychopathic characters of the main cast and also the fattest.
* In the ''[[Mega Man X]]'' series, there's an unspoken rule that the fatter a Maverick is, the more unpleasant they'll be. Flame Mammoth is a power hungry jerk who loves to bully the weak, Frost Walrus is a violent asshole (and in the manga, a ''total fucking psychopath'') who was unpleasant long before being declared Maverick, and Silver Horn is a sadistic prison warden who delights in torturing and maiming his victims.
* Millibelle from ''[[Hollow Knight]]'' is a monstrously fat, but otherwise unassuming banker that you can lend money to so it won't be lost upon dying [[Nintendo Hard|(Which will happen. A lot.)]] {{spoiler|Once you give her enough, she'll take the money and run for the City of Tears' luxurious hot springs. Thankfully, you can track her down and beat your stolen funds out of her (plus interest!).}}
* In ''[[Octopath Traveler]]'', Primrose's story route gives us a ''very'' bastardly example in the form of Helgenish, her [[Starter Villain]]. An obese, violent, psychopathic tavern owner, Helgenish treats the dancers working for him as little more than sex objects that he can abuse to his heart's content, whether it be viciously beating them for displeasing him or selling them into sexual slavery. This trope is reflected in his [https://octopathtraveler.fandom.com/wiki/Helgenish#Battle_ battle sprite], which shows him reclining in a chair with [[A Glass of Chianti]] in one hand while grasping a dagger in the other and hiding it behind his back, all with a shit-eating grin on his face.
** [[I Own This Town|Mr. Morlock]] and his bodyguard [[Stout Strength|Omar]], the [[Arc Villain]]s of Tressa's chapter 2 are nowhere near as vile as Helgenish, but are still very bastardly. Morlock runs the mining town of Quarrycrest as his own personal fiefdom and forces his employees to fork over any gold they find for a tenth of what it's worth, and when Tressa and her rival Ali try to sell precious stones in his town, he's quick to seize imminent domain over their goods and takes them by force. Omar, on the other hand, [[The Dragon|is more than happy to be Morlock's attack dog]] and beats Ali for defying his master before the pair kidnap and try to sell him into slavery out of spite.

* Used straight in [https://web.archive.org/web/20101213211159/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/423 this] strip of ''[[Loserz]]''.
* Tharqa from ''[[Penny and Aggie]]'' practically defines this trope. The only overweight character in the entire strip, and she couldn't be more venial. Karen, while having lost weight and shaped up considerably, is still bigger than every other character except Tharqa, and is well on her way to becoming the [[Big Bad]] of the comic with her Machiavellian plans against the titular characters.
Line 342 ⟶ 343:
* Ms. Teets from ''[[Good Vibes]]''.
* Penny from ''[[The Mighty B!]]''.
* Peg-Leg Pete from ''[[Classic Disney Shorts]]'' (usually just called Pete in modern cartoons) and the rest of the Disney canon. The degrees of bastardy have varied over the years, from being a
* There's [[The Don|the mob boss Mandragora]] from [[Justice League Unlimited]], a homage to the Kingpin. Not only is he both fat, yet very physically powerful, he's also a repulsive, murderous bastard.
* There were a few ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' shorts from 1941 and 1942 that portrayed Elmer Fudd this way, his appearance based on that of Arthur Q. Bryan; unfortunately, the fat-jokes Bugs made at Elmer's expense got old quickly, and in these shorts, Bugs became far more of an unprovoked aggressor. After five of these cartoons, he was changed back.
* Ratarro from ''[[
* One ''[[Secret Squirrel]]'' short featured an obese panda thug named One-Ton as the [[Villain of the Week]], both a [[Meaningful Name]] and [[Punny Name]].

* [[Adipose Rex|King]] [[Henry VIII]], though he was a wife
** Which makes it a subversion - as a young man he was a tall, powerful and magnificent athlete and was described as handsome. The fat really piled on when he stopped exercising and kept eating and drinking as much as ever.
*** There was also the debilitating leg injury that ''kept'' him from exercising.
