* In ''[[Dead Rising]]'', most of the mooks are zombies (seeing as it's a [[Zombie Apocalypse]]) but at least they have the excuse of being mindless. The far more dangerous foes are the Psychopaths (or Maniacs, as the 4th game calls them), the bosses. These unfortunates have gone mad from the situation, and are incredibly dangerous, although it is possible to save some of them. |

** Of course, at least ''they'' have a valid excuse too, madness. The pharmaceutical company [[Mega Corp|Phenotrans]] has no excuse at all. The company that produces and distributes Zombrex, the drug an infected victim requires to stay human, they actually use the worst sort of price gouging to keep the cost astronomical, possibly even preventing an actual cure to be made, [[Stupid Evil|never seeming to consider that having your customers turn into mindless undead abominations.]] {{spoiler| The [[Moral Event Horizon]] for them is reached (retrospectively) in the 2nd game where it is revealed they were directly responsible for starting the Las Vegas and Fortune City outbreaks.}} |

* ''[[Resident Evil]]'' lives this Trope. While the franchise is full of zombies and other monstrosities, most of them are victims of the Umbrella Corporation and people like Albert Wesker, all of whom committed atrocities that pushed them past the [[Moral Event Horizon]] before some accident or experiment turned them into undead abominations. Chief Brian Irons, on the other hand, was ''never'' turned into any sort of monster, being far more of one while still human than anything the T-virus created. |
