10* The Clans in ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' are total smugs to everyone, they look down on the Inner Sphere as barbarians, and consider themselves superior to them. Within Clan society [[DesignerBabies Trueborns]] sneer at natural born Freeborns viewing them as inferior, and consider older warriors as CannonFodder.
11* This is the default personality for any intelligent, powerful AlwaysChaoticEvil monster in ''Franchise/DungeonsAndDragons'', both to explain why they aren't currently ruling the world and to give puny mortal playable adventurers a fighting chance against them. The classic examples are beholders, cunning predators and masters of the mystic arts who are so steeped in a toxic cocktail of arrogance, paranoia, and xenophobia that they usually end up as their own worst enemies (sometimes literally - beholders are so magical and so severely maladjusted that a common way for them to reproduce is by accidentally dreaming their own EnemyWithout into reality).
12%%* Ertai from ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''.
13* Duke Rowan Darkwood from ''TabletopGame/{{Planescape}}'' thinks that he is fated to conquer Sigil. He is wrong.
14* In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'', most skaven seem to have this as their [[PlanetOfHats Hat]], with the ones at the top usually being full fledged {{Magnificent Bastard}}s.
15** The same can be said about the Dark Eldar in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'', as well as a majority of Imperial Governers and Chaos Sorcerers; and the Alpha Legion most of all.
16** Among the Skaven, Grey Seer Thanquol from the ''Gotrek and Felix'' novels takes the cake and eats it. He appears as a would-be BigBad in what seems like half the books, always having his schemes foiled by the titular pair of heroes. [[spoiler:At one point he finally gets them in his claws, only to realise they ''have no idea who he is''. Cue the VillainousBSOD.]]
