* ''Literature/TheEnchantedFiles'': Angus Cairns, the titular character of ''Diary of a Mad Brownie'' / ''Cursed'', is rather short-tempered (and admits it's a problem), which is part of why the book's original title refers to him as a "mad brownie". Justified in most cases -- his job is to keep the house clean, and he's angered when Alex (and her family) won't do much to help in that regard; he also absolutely flips out over being called the wrong species, over being called a pet, and by Destiny's teacher trying to tell her that her "imaginary friend" was never real.

He starts out with fairly clear Berserk Buttons, which the Trashcan Man avoids setting off to survive, but his insanity becomes more apparent as the story goes on. It's clear that [[spoiler:if he hadn't been killed]], he would have found an excuse to kill the Trashcan Man no matter what he did.
** This is a racial trait of the aliens in King's ''Literature/TheTommyknockers'', and, along with their [[IdiotSavant total lack of common sense]], is what makes them [[InsufficientlyAdvancedAlien Insufficiently Advanced Aliens]]. They are extreme [[GadgeteerGenius technical geniuses]], but they keep killing each other off because they can't resist visiting DisproportionateRetribution on anyone who slighted them, [[EvilIsPetty no matter how petty the slight]].

He teleports the guy to Altair 4, a faraway, desolate planet with hardly any air. How much did the guy steal? [[spoiler: ''Pennies''.]]
** In ''Literature/TheShining'' and its sequel ''Literature/DoctorSleep'', this seems to be InTheBlood of the Torrance family. Jack's abusive father had a vicious temper that would go off at even the slightest provocation or no provocation at all. Jack still remembers when his father beat his mother at the dinner table with a cane for no reason at all. Jack himself would go on to demonstrate the same violent temper even while stone-cold sober (though alcohol made it worse). He viciously beat a student of his when said student slashed his tires. His son Danny inherited the penchant for alcoholism and a bad temper, and he actually gets in trouble with the law over it as an adult. [[spoiler:His niece Abra]] ''also'' has a bad temper, and it only gets worse due to the stress caused by the True Knot.
%% ** Another King instance: Wilma in ''Literature/NeedfulThings''.
%% ** And another: Roland [=LeBay=] in ''Literature/{{Christine}}''.
* Francis Begbie in ''Literature/{{Trainspotting}}''. In the book version, Renton clearly outlines a number of Begbie's fantasies that his friends must indulge for their own safety. He says, "The trick was tae discreetly indulge him, without being seen as an obvious crawling suck-up." Begbie gets worse in the sequel, ''Porno'', when he sees a "beast" (paedophile) in a pub, and proceeds to beat him to death.

* From ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', the Mountain, Ser Gregor Clegane, snaps at the slightest provocation or perceived insult, and being over seven feet tall and wielding a greatsword one-handed, carnage generally ensues. When he loses a jousting tournament due to a misbehaving horse, he ''decapitates'' said horse in a blind rage and attacks his celebrating opponent (and his own brother when he attempts to break up the attack), only stopping when ordered to by the King. This is only a mild example. He is given ''something'' of an excuse in the suggestion that he constantly suffers from unfathomably painful migraine headaches (perhaps due to whatever twist of genetics made him so big and strong), to the point where he constantly has to imbibe the in-universe painkiller 'milk of the poppy' (this world's version of opium). Doesn't make him any less dangerous, though. Or less of an ass.

** A character known only as The Kid from thecase for Father Jerome extended edition of ''Literature/TheStand''. He starts out with fairly clear Berserk Buttons, which the Trashcan Man avoids setting off to survive, but his insanity becomes more apparent as the story goes on. It's clear that [[spoiler:if he hadn't been killed]], he would have found an excuse to kill the Trashcan Man no matter what he did.
** This is a racial trait of the aliens in''Literature/SmallerAndSmallerCircles''. In particular, he King's ''Literature/TheTommyknockers'', and, along with their [[IdiotSavant total lack of common sense]], is what makes them [[InsufficientlyAdvancedAlien Insufficiently Advanced Aliens]]. They are extreme [[GadgeteerGenius technical geniuses]], but they keep killing each other off because they can't stand [[SurroundedByIdiots resist visiting DisproportionateRetribution on anyone who slighted them, [[EvilIsPetty no matter how petty the slight]]. For example, one character in the process of 'becoming' one of these aliens discovers that a member of his poker group used to regularly cheat. He teleports the guy to Altair 4, a faraway, desolate planet with hardly any air. How much did the guy steal? [[spoiler: ''Pennies''.]]
** In ''Literature/TheShining'' and its sequel ''Literature/DoctorSleep'', this seems to be InTheBlood of the Torrance family. Jack's abusive father had a vicious temper that would go off at even the slightest provocation or no provocation at all. Jack still remembers when his father beat his mother at the dinner table with a cane for no reason at all. Jack himself would go on to demonstrate the same violent temper even while stone-cold sober (though alcohol made it worse). He viciously beat a student of his when said student slashed his tires. His son Danny inherited the penchant for alcoholism and a bad temper, and he actually gets in trouble with the law over it as an adult. [[spoiler:His niece Abra]] ''also'' has a bad temper, and it only gets worse due to the stress caused by the True Knot.

He says, "The trick was tae discreetly indulge him, without beingaround arrogant and/or willfully ignorant people]], seen as an obvious crawling suck-up." Begbie gets worse in the sequel, ''Porno'', when he sees a "beast" (paedophile) in a pub, and proceeds to beat him to death. [[spoiler:Spud also attempts to claim life insurance money for his family by getting Begbie to do the same to him]].
