** [[http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/289.shtml Slaking]] is the embodiment of this trope: It has the third highest Attack stat of any Pokémon, and while its speed stat is above average, it can only attack once every two turns due to its ability Truant. There are many double battle sets that revolve around compensating for this.

** Mega Slowbro has very impressive special attack.It's also slow as molasses.

** Avalugg takes this trope to its LogicalExtreme. The Pokemon is a literal four-legged glacier with Defense so high that it laughs at just about any physical attack with impressive Attack strength to boot. Unfortunately it has the speed of a glacier too along with pathetic special defense. On the plus side it gets Ice Body to restore health in Hail and it can use its low speed to its advantage with Avalanche and Gyro Ball.

* ''VideoGame/GroundControl'' has the Crayven DTT-1203 "GRIZZLY" destructor [[CallARabbitASmeerp terradyne]] (at least, that's what the [[AllInTheManual manual calls it]]; it's simply called "Heavy Terradyne" in the game), a huge tank armed with twin 120-mm cannons but slow as hell, making it easy for enemy [[HoverTank hoverdynes]] to flank it.

* The Leper in ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'' is gifted with the highest base damage ''and'' HP in the game. He can dish out a huge amount of damage against the first two row of enemies and buff himself to improve his defenses. However, unlike the usual examples, his biggest weakness is not his speed (which is just average), but his accuracy.

** Some of the mooks from the same game too. The fat trio: G. Oriber, Bill Bull and Wong Who. Their charge attack is slow and has some wind up, if they're on screen, but do great damage if their attack connects. Sometimes they border on LightningBruiser if any of them are charging from off-screen. What doesn't help is that they have a limited ability to change direction in mid-charge, which makes them difficult to avoid safely.

* Abore in the arcade version of ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon II'' is even taller than Abobo and packs a mighty punch, but is sluggish.
* ''VideoGame/GoldenAxe'' has the dwarf, Gilius Thunderhead. He has the slowest movement and the weakest magic, but makes up for it in high attack range with his axe, and can deal fast, heavy blows.

* ''VideoGame/MegaManX 4'': Frost Walrus. He's got great projectiles and a sliding attack, but is still by far the least nimble boss in that game.

* ''VideoGame/GoldenAxe'' has the dwarf, Gilius Thunderhead. He has the slowest movement, but makes up for it in high attack range with his axe, and can deal fast, heavy blows.

** Nasus was the inspiration for the class, having played like a Juggernaut since his inception. He spends the early game gaining power by killing minions with his '''Siphoning Strike'', which gains a bit of power with every kill. Between that power, and the gold he amasses from killing the minions, he becomes a massive colossus that destroys any target with one ''Siphoning Strike''. It helps that his ultimate ability, ''Fury of the Sands'', makes him larger, grants an increased health pool, and damages enemies who stand near him.
** Darius pulls enemies from just out of his axe's reach into him, and applies a bleed effect with every auto attack. Once the bleed reaches 5 stacks, he gains a buff that further increases his damage and applies 5 stacks instantly to anyone he attacks. His first ability, ''Decimate'', deals damage and applies this bleed, as well as providing Darius with a heal, so he can persist and be tanky in melee combat.

** Skarner, a crystalline scorpion creature, manipulates magical crystal spires around the map. While within these spires, Skarner gains bonus movement speed and attack speed. His ultimate, ''Impale'', causes him to grab his target and drag them around for a short time, allowing him to pull an enemy into his territory and rip them to pieces with claw, stinger, and venom.
** Mordekaiser steadily ramps up his damage on his target, if he can remain on them. His ability ''Mace of Spaces'' enhances his next three basic attacks to deal massive bonus damage, with the damage tripling with every attack. That means the third strike deals 9 times the damage of the first. Anyone who takes those three strike is either dead, or very close to being dead.

* In the RTS ''TotalAnnihilation'', the unit called "The Sumo" is true to its name: huge and powerful. Its problem is that it moves ''really'' slowly. Its maximum speed is 0.34 m/s, compared to 1.72 m/s for the basic infantry unit. It acceleration stat is 0.04, which is abysmally slow.

* The Mammoth Tanks used by the Soviets/GDI in ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'' are among the slowest units in the game, but they pack a combination of two ultra-heavy cannons and anti-air/anti-infantry missile launchers, enabling them to smash through enemy forces outnumbering them many times over. In ''Tiberium Wars'', the Mammoth is so overpowering that it can ''crush'' other tanks beneath its treads, and once upgraded with railguns, even waves of suicide bombers and missile infantry are mowed down without mercy.
* The ''Red Alert'' series just ''absolutely runs wild'' with this:

** In ''CommandAndConquerGenerals Zero Hour'' the Emperor Overlord tank is this. It has two cannons and can be upgraded to use anti-air gatling guns. It's also slow as molasses due to both its nature as the slowest land vehicle and the fact that its sheer size limits its ability to navigate in some forms of terrain.

* Korax, the main antagonist of ''Videogame/{{Hexen}}'' is slow compared to all other enemies in the game, but has sorts of abilities like activating traps around him or sending mooks towards the player. However, all of his projectiles can seriously damage the player if they all connect. Granted, he also can teleport around and possibly telefrag the player, but even then he doesn't do it often and he has some places where he can only warp into.

* The Heavy Class of ''VideoGame/SASZombieAssault 4'' is either this or a LightningBruiser, depending on the character's build.

* The [[{{Expy}} Death Star]] in ''Ogame''. So slow that even its description jokingly mentions that its captain helps a Death Star to move by pushing it, but has the strongest firepower and resilience of the game and can destroy moons.
** Destroyers and bombers count too, being very resistent and with excellent firepower and the bomber excellent against all but the heaviest planetary defenses, but slow and gulping ''lots'' of fuel to move them around.
