* Humans in the PC game series ''[[Age of Wonders]]'' almost always have leaders whose favorite pastimes include leveling elven forests, siding with demons and orcs for more power, and enslaving lesser races. This is despite the fact that they technically have a "Neutral" alignment.
** In the sequel, however, they're mostly being manipulated by a vindictive Water Wizard.
* The Therions (anthropomorphic animals, ranging from lion-men to gazelles to rhinos to panthers) of ''[[
* The [[Lucas Arts]] adventure game ''The Dig'' [[Lampshade Hanging|hung a lampshade]] on this issue, when one of the characters tentatively points out to a friendly alien that not all humans are as [[Rousseau Was Right|nice]] as they are. Said alien cheerily replied that that's okay since all relatively young species are like that, and anyone who wants to pick a fight will just be [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|squashed like bugs]].
* Dracula from ''[[Castlevania]]'' likes to toss out this accusation to whatever Belmont he's fighting, usually starting by mentioning that the only reason he's up and about is that some human woke him again. But the Belmonts are generally full of righteous fury and in no mood for discussing the idea, so not much comes of it.
Line 498:
* In the ''[[Toejam and Earl]]'' series, where humans and other earthly life aren't wantonly malicious and "unfunky", they're still ''weird.'' Friendly ones in the series include the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Wiseman in a Carrot Suit]] and the Soul Sisters -- a trio of black women who speak only in gospel song. In ''[[Toe Jam]] & Earl 3'', you can convert most initially hostile Earthlings... such as chickens with army helmets and egg-firing mortars, and [[Creepy Child]] little girls with seemingly demon-possessed teddy bears. See? Weird.
* The human deathknight Charna in ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic]] 4'' is described as being capable of evil that 'even the demons balk at'.
* A major plot point in ''[[Arcanum:
* Revealed in one dialogue during ''[[Mega Man Zero]] 3'', stating that humans of the dystopian Neo Arcadia only indulge themselves in food and comfort, letting the authorities do the thinking for them while regarding the conflicts [[The Hero|Zero]] and [[Big Good|Ciel]] have been fighting as mere daily news on the televisions. In ''Z4'', Zero also further condemns humans fleeing from [[Big Bad|Weil's]] iron fist as cowardly beings who would do nothing about their refugee leader getting kidnapped just to avoid another war. It is not until [[The Dragon|Craft]] blows up the city do humans finally wake up with terrible pain in their minds.
** Dr. Weil also implies in Zero 3 that Humans innately feel that ruling all the eye can see and making others work for them is the ultimate joy for them, and believes that no Reploid could ever understand this joy, although Zero [[Shut UP, Hannibal|counters]] this by stating that he doubts any decent human would understand Weil's viewpoint, either.
