Line 61:
* ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'': {{Spoiler|Yu Yevon becomes a god which creates a dream-like recreation of his home city by possessing aeons, but a thousand of years later his consciousness has been reduced to nearly nothing but an instinct to possess aeons. And if he isn't possessing an specially powerful Aeon empowered by his daughter Yunalesca, he can be easily killed, what makes the final boss fight in the game completely trivial to the party once Braska's Final Aeon is defeated}}.
* [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (video game)|''Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)'']] justifies this with Iblis, who is a mindless monster with godlike power because {{spoiler|his mind had been split from him ten years before present time, and manifested into the cunning-but-physically-weak Mephiles}}.
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]'': Calamity Ganon, which is revealed to be {{spoiler|the result of Ganondorf giving up on reincarnation and intending to release the full force of its wrath upon the world}}. Indeed, Calamity Ganon is incredibly powerful, capable of constantly resurrecting his minions, but has nothing resembling sentience or personality and usually appears a red-purple cloud of pure malevolence {{spoiler|or else in the shape of a boar. Or so it seemed...}}
** The sequel, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom]]'', reveals that {{spoiler|this was not the case at all, and that Link and Zelda had been [[Fighting a Shadow]] the whole time. Ganon's true body - as Ganondorf, the true Calamity - had been sealed underground, the Malice infecting Hyrule extensions of his power. Calamity Ganon was simply an oversized concentrated mass of Malice with Sheka technology woven into it that Ganondorf was controlling remotely. When Link and Zelda inadvertently open his tomb in the beginning of ''Tears of the Kingdom'', he proves much like his previous self and just as talkative.}}
* ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles]]'': {{spoiler|Professor Klaus was a little megalomaniac but not mean-minded before he activated the Conduit, creating a new universe and becoming Zanza. Millions of years later, he is an empty sociopath motivated only by hunger to eat the beings who he creates to further sustain himself, but with incredible power. It is implied the Conduit did that}}. ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles 2]]'' further elaborates on that: {{Spoiler|the Conduit had split him into two, with only his human self remaining on a destroyed Earth}}.
* At the climax of ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles 2]]'', {{Spoiler|the Architect reveals that the Blades were made for data collection and assimilation - the Aegis blades, with their immense power and agelessness, are as empty in personality as any blade at the start, confirming Mythra's suspicions and Malos' doubt that the latter wasn't acting of his own free will, and was influenced by his omnicidal driver Amalthus}}. Outside of the main storyline, the optional Blade Herald is incredibly powerful, and also can go berserk and destroy everything on her sight under certain circumstances - her last driver killed himself to make her stop before she completely destroyed the kingdom of Tantal. The party outright gets a warning about this from the Tantalese before awakening her.
