* In TheLegendofZeldaMajorasMask, there is Majora. Very little is known about Majora, except that he goes completely ''apeshit'' and tries to destroy the entire world by crashing the moon into the earth.

Not to be confused with the film ''TheGodsMustBeCrazy''.

* Nightmare Moon in ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. Her envy and bitterness induce her to attempt to upend the balance of the cosmos, potentially destroying all life. [[ItGotBetter She got better]] though.

* Sheogorath from ''TheElderScrolls.''
** His full title is actually "Sheogorath, The Prince of Madness".
** His condensed title, referred to by the Dark Seducers, IS the "madgod."

* The Christian God of ''TheChroniclesOfWormwood''. The only thing he does throughout his entire appearance is float in the air, grunting and constantly masturbating.

->''"You '''dare''' interrupt me! Only '''I''' interrupt me! Like just then. I'm speaking with someone! We'll talk later. Or not. When is later, exactly? Not now, I'm sure of that.''

* In ''PokemonMysteryDungeon: Explorers'', Dialga is a benevolent enough god, but for most of the pre-credits storyline, he's going insane and changing into or is ''Primal'' Dialga.

* In the RPG [[{{Earthbound}} Mother II]], you are trying to prevent the world's destruction at the hands of Giygas, a powerful psychic entity from the future. Your efforts apparently spook him so badly that he overdoses on evil energy before your final confrontation, turning him into a god [[EldritchAbomination (of sorts)]] and destroying his mind. He rambles insanely during the last fight, and seems barely even conscious enough to know he's fighting you.

* The Mad God from the FightingFantasy gamebook "Portal of Evil." Provides the hero with a helmet that has mirrors attached to it. The helmet turns out to be useful later on.

** His full title is actually "Sheogorath The Mad God".

* In the MirrorUniverse of ''HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'', Zeus went mad from the strain of building "The Labyrinth of Eternal Memory" for his newborn son Hercules. With the king of the gods insane and the rest of the pantheon thrown into chaos, the stage is set for this version of Hercules (known as "the Sovereign") to take over the world and hatch a scheme to become the new ruler of Olympus.

* The Gods of Chaos from ''{{Warhammer}} / {{Warhammer40000}},'' especially Tzeench. All Chaos Gods are liable to randomly turn their followers to gibbering piles of tentacles, or give their followers or daemons seemingly random tasks, but Tzeentch turn it up to eleven. He's an insane {{Chessmaster}} who is constantly weaving extremely complex schemes that more often than not contradict each other, and that ultimately have no point at all (scheming is what he does and his goal in itself. It is said that if he ever got his plans to completion, he would stop existing). In fact, it is impossible for him to ever achieve his goals - so many of his plans are contradictory that, in succeeding with one, he foils countless others. And so on ad infinitum.

* In ''PokemonMysteryDungeon: Explorers'', Diagla is a benevolent enough god, but for most of the pre-credits storyline, he's going insane and changing into or is ''Primal'' Dialga.

* In the RPG Mother II, you are trying to prevent the world's destruction at the hands of Giygas, a powerful psychic entity from the future. Your efforts apparently spook him so badly that he overdoses on evil energy before your final confrontation, turning him into a god and destroying his mind. He rambles insanely during the last fight, and seems barely even conscious enough to know he's fighting you.

* [[CosmicHorror Azathoth]], the Blind Idiot God gibbering at the chaotic center of Creation (''his'' creation) in the [[HPLovecraft Lovecraft Mythos.]]
