* ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'': [[StupidEvil Stupidity]] and [[BadBoss mistreatment of his subordinates.]] The Panther King would be a genuinely threatening villain if it weren't for the fact that he's so stupid. His whole reason for wanting to capture Conker is because his table is damaged, requiring a scientist to tell him that his table was missing a leg and wanting to use Conker as a replacement rather than simply buying a new table. Playing into his stupidity, the Panther King also badly mistreats von Kriplesac and his guards, which causes them to despise him and only when it's too late would the Panther King realize that being a tyrannical bully is NOT A GOOD IDEA. Not only does he not realize how much his guards and von Kriplesac hate him, [[spoiler: but this also leaves him open to manipulation and being easily used, proven when von Kriplesac uses him to birth a Xenomorph, killing him.]]

Mickey repeatedly tries to save everyone, and he frequently can't. The fact he couldn't save Terra, Aqua, and Ven from their respective fates weighs heavily on Mickey's mind, to the point that he won't say where Riku is in ''II'' because of the guilt weighing on him. Mickey does eventually get better about this, but even Sora calls him out on the fact that a lot of pain could have been avoided if [[PoorCommunicationKills Mickey had just opened his damn mouth]].

** Lesser Lord Kusanali does care for her people but due to the death of the previous beloved Dendro Archon and how Kusanali does not match their view of a God of Wisdom, Kusanali is shunned and ignored by the sages and her people, leading her to develop an inferiority complex towards her predecessor and becoming an ExtremeDoormat. So when [[spoiler: the Akademiya started actively scrubbing out her existence and using the Akasha to harm the people]], she did nothing (at first) to stop it.

** Barbatos values freedom so much that he refuses to rule directly over his people. However, this has led to the rise of corrupt aristocrats that stained Mondstadt and everything that Barbatos fought for. Also, Barbatos does not intervene to help his people unless they can't manage the crisis themselves. This unfortunately has led him to be too late to prevent certain tragedies such as [[spoiler: the death of Signora's lover, thus leading her to join the Fatui.]]
** Morax follows [[IGaveMyWord the contracts he makes to the letter]], even if it would backfire on him. When he agreed to deal with an infestation of slimy sea creatures, he had to follow through even if it meant painstakingly removing them by hand. When the Traveler asks him about [[spoiler: their sibling, Celestia and Khaenri'ah]], due to a pre-existing contract, Morax is unable to speak about it, even though it's evident that he badly wants to.
** The Raiden Shogun, in her pursuit of "eternity", wants Izanuma to be eternally unchanging, leading her to put the Vision Hunt Decrees in place. This only caused the nation and the people's lives to suffer and for a civil war to erupt. It's later revealed that [[spoiler: Ei is fearful of loss after losing her twin sister, the first Electro Archon, and witnessing what happened to Khaeri'ah, resulting in her coming to believe that preserving her beloved nation exactly as it is would be the right course.]]

** Godrick's fatal flaw is his desire to prove himself; he is a descendant of Marika instead of a direct child, and his desire to bee on the same level as Marika's more direct relatives caused him to turn to Grafting and kill hundreds if not thousands to increase his own power, and to overreach his own power by trying to attack Leyendell (failing miserably) and insulting Malenia (she kicked his ass).
** Diallos has his suggestibility and inferiority complex; the guy means well, but he's easily persuaded to join [[MurderInc the Volcano Manor]] because Tanith told him it'd make him a champion.
** Brother Corhyn has his inflexible devotion to the Golden Order; unlike his idol Goldmask, he'd rather die than admit that it was flawed and needed fixing.
** Nepheli's fatal flaw is her trusting nature; she trusts Gideon Ofnir and is completely shocked he'd order a massacre to get his hands on a MacGuffin, and she'll take Seluvis's Potion without even asking what it does. [[spoiler: It turns the imbiber into a [[FateWorseThanDeath mindless]] [[PeoplePuppets puppet]].]]
** Seluvis has a lot of flaws, but the one that continuously gets him in trouble is his SmugSnake nature; he is completely convinced that he is a master schemer and so targets people he ''really'' has no business working against. [[spoiler: He wants to turn Ranni into a puppet and is completely convinced that she'd take his potion if you present it; Ranni already has his number and kills him off the instant she no longer needs him.]]
** Sorceress Sellen has the lengths she'll go ForScience; she seeks to study the Primeval Current despite the rather horrible fates that befell other Primeval Sorcerers. [[spoiler: If you finish her questline, she'll have turned herself into a School of Graven Mages while continuing her studies.]]

** Gwyn's fatal flaw was his paranoia and inability to accept the unfamiliar. [[spoiler: The Pygmies had the power of the Dark Soul perfectly handled, but Gwyn was so paranoid about the Dark that he created the Seal of Fire that would eventually become the Darksign- which caused the Pygmies to ''lose'' control of the Dark and create the Abyss, and also put a major strain on the First Flame that's the reason it keeps fading. The act of creating the Seal of Fire is what is later called the First Sin and is the cause of every problem in the games.]]
** The Witch of Izalith was rather reckless and prone to doing unadvisable things with her magic. [[spoiler: She turned her entire race into demons and herself into a tree monster by trying to replace the First Flame, an attempt that inevitably went out of control.]]
** Vendrick had [[LoveMakesYouDumb his love for Nashandra]]; she played TheCorrupter to him and wished to plunge his kingdom into the Abyss, and Vendrick knew this but was unable to stop loving her. At least he was able to take precautions to make sure she could never reach the Throne of Want.

** Morgott has Fatalism; he knows damn well that what the Tarnished are doing is necessary to repair the Elden Ring and stop the Lands Between from descending into madness, but doing so requires a sin against the Golden Order and he can't bring himself to go against it, despite being an Omen and thus mistreated by it all his life.
** Malenia has her devotion to her brother; while normally this is a good thing since her pride as the Blade of Miquella allows her to keep her sense of self despite the Scarlet Rot that infects her and Miquella probably the nicest demigod in the Lands Between, it also means that she's willing to draw upon the power of the Scarlet Rot in order to protect him. This is why Caelid is currently a Scarlet Rot-infested hellhole and the rot has infected her home of the Haligtree.
** Godfrey had his nature as a BloodKnight, which made him unfit for the civilization he built as a conquering king. The reason he grafted the spirit lion Serosh to himself was to keep this flaw under control enough that he could actually ''rule'' as Elden Lord.
** Radahn's fatal flaw is Ambition; unlike Miquella and Ranni (the two other 'good' faction leaders) he had no order he wished to impose, nor reason beyond glory to participate in the Shattering. This ultimately led him to his confrontation with Malenia and the sorry state he's in at the present.
