Fat Bastard: Difference between revisions

* Interesting case in ''[[BioShock (series)|Bioshock 2]]''. Buck Raleigh is a fat, ruthless, [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]. However, he is the most sympathetic of the multiplayer characters. He was never interested in plasmids but started using them when {{spoiler|his wife disappeared. Almost a year later it turns out she was leading a revolt against him.}}

* [[Wario Land|Wario]], though he's got [[Stout Strength|plenty of muscle]] as well.

** ''[[EarthBound]]'' also provides a subversion in the form of Apple Kid. He's fat, apparently unhygienic and socially awkward, and accordingly less popular among the citizens of Twoson than rival Orange Kid, who's thinner, has considerably better social skills, and uses this to get funding for his work. Then the subversion comes into play - Orange Kid is a [[Small Name, Big Ego]] type with virtually no talent to back up the formidable sums of money he asks for, whereas Apple Kid is an absolute genius who actually cares about the fate of the world, plays a massive role in enabling the heroes to defeat Giygas, and never asks for anything in return.

* Jack Turner of the ''[[Art of Fighting]]'' games is one of Mr. Big's thugs, and the leader of a tough gang of bikers called the Black Cats. At the age of 13, he subdued a rampaging bear.

* Dong Zhuo, as depicted in the ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' games.

** The [[Romance of the Three Kingdoms|source material]], too. {{spoiler|After he was killed, the angry mob made torches by shoving splints of wood into his fat.}}

* ''[[Pokémon]]'' [[Hello, Insert Name Here|nicknames]] have a maximum length of ten letters. Given that the earlier games came out concurrent with the [[Austin Powers]] movies, someone, somewhere ''had'' to have named their Snorlax FatBastard.

** Although their size and [[Heavy Sleeper|sleeping habits]] are a [[Broken Bridge|game-important obstacle]] for both players and Ash of the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime, and their habit of [[Big Eater|eating islands worth of food]] when awake aside, Snorlax can be [[Gentle Giant|pretty nice otherwise]].

* [[General Failure]] Damon von Grant from ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'' is a fat, arrogant aristocrat who only occupies his position because of his wealth, and is otherwise completely incompetent. He despises the militia and considers them [[We Have Reserves|disposable trash]], steals their merits when [[The Hero|Welkin]]'s strategies work, is completely unsympathetic towards {{spoiler|Isara's death}}, thinks of [[Love Interest|Alicia]] as a weapon {{spoiler|when her Valkyria powers awaken}}, and even uses illegal weapons to cover up for his failures on the battlefield. Need I go on? Luckily, {{spoiler|he gets a [[Karmic Death]] when [[The Dragon]] Selvaria self-destructs and takes him (and a large chunk of Gallia's army) with her.)}}

* Oliver in ''[[Fire Emblem|Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]''. {{spoiler|Though he [[Unexplained Recovery|somehow]] survives the game and joins your party in ''Radiant Dawn'' thanks to his status as the [[Ensemble Darkhorse]].}}

* ''[[Dantes Inferno]]: An Animated Epic'' - Dante's father was an abusive man who often beat his wife and child. Not only was he a fat disgusting glutton, but horribly greedy as well, once beating his wife when he thought she had stolen one of his golden coins. He appears in the fourth circle of hell as a fat, grotesque demonic soldier who is spared the torture of other greedy souls by Satan and battles his son for a while before Dante finally ends his cruel father's (un?)life by dumping him into a giant wheel moved by molten gold.

** In the game, Dante {{spoiler|absolves his father instead of using him as an excuse for Dante's own sins}}.

* The Fat Guard (Politician) in the original ''[[Prince of Persia]]''.

* Burnov in ''[[Double Dragon]] II: The Revenge''.

* The [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Deadly Premonition]]'', {{spoiler|Forrest Kaysen}}.

* The emperor of Blobolonia in ''[[A Boy and His Blob]]''.

* Pierce, or Jigglesworth, from ''[[TCTRPG|The Colour Tuesday,]]'' is a creepy [[Living Doll Collector]] who moves around on a chair. Its heavily implied that he's a pedophile, judging by his comments to and his harrassment of Alex. As Jigglesworth, he's a writhing mass of flabby appendages. Even the ruthless [[Big Bad|Maxwell]] is disgusted by him.

{{quote|'''Maxwell''': [[Even Evil Has Standards|"You're a disgrace, little man."]]}}

* In ''[[Streets of Rage]]'', there was a boss that was a big, fire-breathing Fat Bastard. On top of being [[That One Boss]], if you try to suplex him, ''[[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|your character hurts their back and suffers damage]]''.

* ''[[Hector: Badge of Carnage]]'' has Detective Inspector Hector, a surly, corrupt and lazy [[Heroic Sociopath]] who also happens to be one of the few competent individuals on the police force.

* The [[Dead Rising]] series has more than it's fair share of these, most of them psychopaths. There's the [[Complete Monster|lesbian rapist cop]] Jo Slade and the [[I Am A Humanitarian|cannibal butcher]] Larry Chiang in the first game, obese pervert Randy Tugman, cannibal chef Antoine Thomas, and redneck sniper Derrick Duggan in the sequel, and horrific [[Big Eater]] Darlene and lazy rich idiot Teddy in the third game. From the first game, we also have this trope in action regarding one of the survivors" Ronald. In order to get the guy to follow you back to the safehouse, you need to give him some food. And once he reaches the safehouse? You better be ready to feed him every couple of hours, or he'll start an insurrection and he'll run off quite a few of your suvivors in tow.

* Roadhog in ''[[Overwatch]]'' is one of the most psychopathic characters of the main cast and also the fattest.
