* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind]]'', there are spells for reducing other people's attributes, and one such spell is for intelligence. Such spells can either be cast as spells or forged into magic weapons. Thus, a sword ''could'' be designed to make the enemy stupider each time it hits (although the really efficient option is to [[Life Drain|let each hit transfer health from the target to the wielder]]).
* ''[[Nethack]]'''s Mind Flayers have an attack that reduces intelligence.
* In ''[[Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey]]'', {{spoiler|Zelenin}}'s Song is supposed to be so angelic, so beautiful, that anyone who hears it cannot help but lose all their will to fight and submit immediately to {{spoiler|her}}. Which is rather creepy in and of itself, but then the angels get the idea of ''weaponizing'' it to subdue corrupt mercenaries, brainwash ''demons'', and eventually {{spoiler|assimilate all of humanity}}.
* 4X game [[Ascendancy]] includes the Intellect Scrambler, which temporarily erases the memories of the crew of the affected ship. The in-game description claims that it can "turn an experienced crew into a bunch of bumbling rookies".
* In ''[[Portal 2]]'', Wheatley is a Moron Sphere who was created as part of GLaDOS's AI, to prevent her from killing everyone in the facility by giving her a constant stream of terrible ideas.
