Line 394:
* Some of the Daedra from the [[Elder Scrolls]] games ''may'' qualify as this. Daedric lords such as Azura, Meridia, and possibly Nocturnal have reputations for being less malignant and more beneficial to humans than the other lords. However, they aren't necessarily nice. Azura is described simultaneously as being cruel, but also as wise and encouraging her worshipers to love themselves as much as they love her.
* ''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon'' (one of the much-reviled CD-i games based on - and disowned - by ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' franchise) portrays Zelda as a bitch with absolutely ''no'' mercy towards enemies. Her reaction to the [[Big Bad]] screaming in agony as he dies is a smarmy smile and a "Good!"
*
** The Cage family is this; Johnny is rude, egotistical, and arrogant (although his [[Older and Wiser]] self in ''X'' and ''XI'' has mellowed a little), Sonya is overbearing and has an [[Hair-Trigger Temper|uncontrollable temper]] (though she can [[Sugar and Ice Personality|soften a little among family and friends]]) and their daughter Cassie has inherited the attitudes of both of them, plus a [[Deadpan Snarker]] attitude to boot.
** Jax is a [[Scary Black Man]] and combat veteran, the mere sight of whom implies someone you do ''not'' want to mess with. Much like his ally Sonya, he has a rotten temper. ''His'' daughter Jacqueline is only slightly better than Cassie.
* [[Boogerman]] is a super-hero dedicated to saving the environment from industrial greed and villains who maliciously pollute it; a noble goal, but the powers he uses to do so involve sneezing, belching, [[Fartillery|farting]], moving through sewers by flushing himself down toilets... Yeah, this is a case where Good is Pretty Disgusting.
* In ''[[Street Fighter]]'', the heroes aren't as brutal as the ones in ''Mortal Kombat'', but their win quotes at the end of the match where [[Unsportsmanlike Gloating| they gloat over their fallen and often visibly injured opponent...]] Seriously, is that ''really'' necessary?
