* ''TabletopGame/GeniusTheTransgression'' has a bizarre example, in that Santa altogether sticks to the actual mythology around him and is generally a jolly, happy (and very industrious) man without a mean bone in his body. The problem is, he's a Mane (''the'' strongest Mane at that), and as a manifestation of pure Mania everything he makes and even ''touches'' is a massive [[PhlebotinumBreakdown Havoc]] risk whenever a mere mortal is involved. "Mere mortal" includes the children he's handing out gifts to, mind you. And anyone who attacks him gets shuttered in his workshop and made to write a few apology letters... in a place so utterly ''soaked'' with Mania Geniuses risk completely losing their shit from the excess with every minute they spend inside. Santa Claus himself has ''[[ObliviouslyEvil no idea about any of this]]'' and continues to do what he always does every Christmas, forcing Geniuses to create an entire committee to stop and kill him every year - and he comes back every time.
