*** Granted, the former two were ''completely off their rocker'' and DrunkOnTheDarkSide, so YMMV. Veger is an interesting observation because he seems to ''think'' he's a good guy, but ultimately everything he does is purely for his own benefit (Errol definitely tops him, though.)

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: The [[BorderPatrol Lurker Shark]] in the first game.
** [[spoiler: Metal Kor's]] first appearance. First, this unseen, [[EvilSoundsDeep deep]] voice says, "Finally! The last Rift Gate has been opened!" and several freaky creatures that look like giant insects come through the portal, followed by some HUGE beast that roars loudly and says, "You cannot hide from me, boy!" I'm pretty sure anyone would shit themselves if something like that happened to them.
** Dark Daxter, contrary to earlier reports, doesn't [[HulkSpeak talk like the Hulk]] and seems to be of his usual intelligence. What makes this fit the trope is that Daxter is [[OmnicidalManiac genocidal]] and [[AxCrazy bloodthirsty]] while dark, but everything he says sounds frighteningly ''in character''. Whether this was [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel intentional]] or not remains to be seen.

* FollowTheLeader: It is by no mere coincidence that ''Jak II'' was made considerably [[DarkerAndEdgier darker]] than its predecessor and was released around the time people would just be finishing up ''[[GrandTheftAuto Vice City]]'' and needing something to placate their sandboxing fix. The first game is also a blatant ''SuperMario64'' clone, but it's more forgivable than most due to the game's absolutely exquisite presentation.
