** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'''s biggest example is Bahamut, the primal god of a civilization of dragons who was captured by the ancient Allagan Empire and jailed within Dalamud, an artificial satellite that future societies would mistake for a ''[[ThatsNoMoon moon]]'', for thousands of years. Zig-zagged, as Bahamut ''wasn't'' evil going into the can, but was driven mad by the experience, lashing out at everything when he was finally released. Had he been sane, it's likely he could've been an ally, but... [[spoiler:''Heavensward'' reveals that not only was he Bahamut InNameOnly, but his very nature as a primal would have endangered everyone ''anyway'' even if he had been benign.]]

He was actually sealed inside the ''other'' moon until Fandaniel had Zenos break the seals]].

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/LuckBeALandlord'': In-universe, the Frozen Fossil symbol. It takes 20 turns to thaw, less if you've destroyed or removed a Hex, Witch, or Cultist. Once it thaws, it turns into the [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Creature symbol,]] which is hardly destructive to your run but heralds pain for your Cultists and Witches.

* In ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', the plan of the antagonists is to [[spoiler:summon the Shadow Queen, who can only be summoned into a princess (read: Peach). Upon release, the Queen promptly reduces the head of the antagonists to, well, a head, and plans to conquer. Unluckily for her, Mario arrived at the same time.]]
** On the other hand, [[spoiler: she recognizes Mario's strength and offers him to work for her. The player is given a Yes or No choice, while the former leads to an instant NonstandardGameOver.]]
** The Black Chests are a lesser case of this. [[spoiler:The "curses" they inflict upon Mario are actually useful abilities. Justified in that the inhabitants of the chests are the former heroes who defeated the Shadow Queen 1,000 years ago.]]
** In ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', Bonechill, a fallen Nimbi, was held in the area of the Underwhere in which the dead villains suffer for eternity among the game overed. He escapes due to an earthquake (often speculated to be the work of the BigBad, Count Bleck, who is known to be a dimension traveler) and wreaks havoc in the Overthere. Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Luigi fight him and easily destroy him.
