* In ''Franchise/SlyCooper'', ''Franchise/SlyCooper'':
** Murray is a downplayed example. While he takes great pride in his strength, primarily solves problems with his fists, and even admits not being as smart as his teammates, he is skilled in many other areas. For example, he helps Bentley build a plane in the ''Flight of Fancy'' chapter of [[VideoGame/Sly3HonorAmongThieves the third game]], and manages to repair the arcade machines of each hideout in [[VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime the fourth game]] (should the player find all treasures in the corresponding level). Add the fact that he is a genuinely skilled driver, and Murray is more simple-minded than outright dumb.
** Muggshot is a straighter example. Though he has impressive strength and can take insane amounts of damage, his intellect leaves a lot to be desired. When invading Mesa City, he drives out all citizens [[DidntThinkThisThrough and suddenly remembers why he doesn't have any customers in his casino business]], and laments on how the "Thingus Raccamagoocus" [[note]] "Thievius Raccoonus" [[/note]] has "WAY too many big words". Judging from his introduction cutscene, Muggshot spent more time exercising his muscles than his brain. He does, however, have a [[SophisticatedAsHell surprisingly good vocabulary mixed with his crude slang]].
**
[[EliteMooks the The Flashlight Guards]] Guards]], regardless of the area they appear in, are this, especially the biggest and most powerful of the three basic mook types. However, from [[VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves the second game]] onward. Murray also counts and onward, [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy they are easily fooled]] and display [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy poor aiming skills]]. Additionally, many of the in-game cutscenes portrays the Flashlight Guards as a semi-heroic example.dense comic-relief characters who suffers various mishaps.

** And for an NPC example from the second game, there is Sulik, a tribal searching for his sister whom you can recruit in your party. Not exactly the brightest follower, but give him a [[DropTheHammer super sledgehammer]] and a PowerArmor and he will waste every enemy in sight.
