* King Hippo of ''[[PunchOut Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!]]'' is this on the surface. However this is somewhat subverted, in that, in his in-between round dialogue, he doesn't taunt Mac like the others do. He even offers to take him out to lunch!

* King Dedede from the ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' series. More Fat JerkWithAHeartOfGold than utter Bastard, though. The anime version is a straighter example.
* Gourmet Guy from ''Videogame/PaperMario''.
* Papu Papu, leader of the WackyWaysideTribe from the ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot'' series.
* In ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage'', there was a boss that was a big, fire-breathing Fat Bastard. On top of being ThatOneBoss, if you try to suplex him, ''[[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything your character hurts their back and suffers damage]]''.
** In later games, the "hurt user while attempting to throw Fatty" is sometimes illogical. Such as Sammy(scrawny rollerblading tween/teen) being able to throw them overhead(essentially grabbing their shoulders from behind, then flipping to the front and transferring the momentum into a throw), while Zan(cyborg), Shiva(martial artist) and Ash(fairly large, like 6-7' Camp/Hard Gay) cannot. Shiva's throw animation doesn't even really involve lifting either. It's more like "shove them into the dirt".

* King Dedede from the ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' series. series is an overweight Bird [[AdiposeRex King]] who in his debut, steals all the food in the Land to have a personal banquet. More Fat JerkWithAHeartOfGold than utter Bastard, later on though. The anime version is a straighter example.
* Gourmet Guy from ''Videogame/PaperMario''.
''Videogame/PaperMario'' downplays this. He's an extremely overweight Shy Guy that frequently complains of starving. But his obsession with food allows Mario, and Peach to successfully bribe him with food.
* Papu Papu, leader of the WackyWaysideTribe from the ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot'' series.
series is an overweight tribe leader who frequently attacks Crash.

* In ''VideoGame/HitmanContracts'', one of the targets in the second mission is Campbell Sturrock, aka the Meat King, a morbidly obese Scottish crime boss who's so fat he needs a wheelchair simply to move. Clearly a monster, he was prosecuted for kidnapping a wealthy man's daughter (your client) only for his sleazy lawyer (your other target) to get him off on a technicality. [[spoiler: Sadly, the girl is dead when you get there, horribly dismembered and mutilated by Sturrock's sociopathic brother, but killing him is not required to complete the mission.]]
