* The Vykkers from ''VideoGame/OddworldMunchsOddysee'' don't look effeminate, looking like a weird centaur version of TheGrays, but they speak with flaming, shrill voices.

* Lord Ghirahim from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword''. His heart is full of rainbows! Also, he wears skintight clothing that only barely censors his nipples, he appears to be wearing white lipstick, his short white hair [[PeekABangs hangs down over his eye]], and he enjoys approaching Link in molestacular poses. However, he has serious MoodSwinger tendencies, he's a demon (lord) with a blade, and the overall effect is less "sissy" and more "completely balls-out bonkers." Some fans have said he reminds them of a male Music/LadyGaga. This side of him actually becomes ''less'' and less pronounced over the course of his appearances, and as Ghirahim's sadistic and angry side slowly takes center stage over his theatrical one, his appearance grows more visibly 'masculine', culminating in his [[OneWingedAngel final form]] lacking much of his outwardly feminine qualities [[spoiler: and his buff SculptedPhysique cementing him as the SpearCounterpart to the dainty ArmlessBiped [[EmpathicWeapon Fi]]]].

Turns out I'm an idiot who can't read. Regardless, this doesn't explain how Mettaton is feminine, so it's a Zero Context Example.

Added DiffLines:

%%Mettaton from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' would be a textbook example, although he is redeemable and, as with almost all other characters, can be befriended.

Mettaton is much more of an Agent Peacock than a Sissy Villain, given he has one of the hardest fights in a neutral run.

* And then the lovely people over at Square gave us ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', and the BigBad of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'', Marluxia. This is a [[{{Bishonen}} MAN]] (better get that straight right away) who's looks would put [[WhiteHairBlackHeart Sephiroth]] to shame. He has long, pink hair, his WeaponOfChoice is a Pink SinisterScythe, and his unique villainous ability is [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway FLOWERS]]. CherryBlossoms none the less... (The manga took this power one step further and had Marluxia scatter sakura petals with every move he made.) That, in Japanese mythology, cherry blossoms represents death, and in western mythology the scythe is the signature tool of TheGrimReaper, so it might not be so strange that Marluxia, despite all the aforementioned sissiness, still manages to retain most of his manliness.

** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica''. Alfred. Ashford. Granted, his compulsion to dress up in women's clothing is due to a [[Film/{{Psycho}} Norman Bates-esque]] desire to emulate his [[spoiler:sister]], but he's still prancing around in a dress and giggling.
** Salazar in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', who's a wrinkly, [[YoungerThanTheyLook 20-year-old]] giggling midget dressed like Napoleon. In stark contrast to his CoDragons Mendez and Krauser, he also shows zero signs of any badassery and at one point even runs off crying after getting his hand stabbed; he only even becomes a boss fight by virtue of letting himself get absorbed into giant Plagas blob and [[OneWingedAngel transforming into a tentacle monster]].
** Morpheus Duvall of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilDeadAim''. Yeah, it's a guy. Even harder to tell when his transformation has breasts and built in high heels. He's also totally vain and obsessed with his own beauty.

* Jin Kisaragi from ''Franchise/{{BlazBlue}}'' is a bonafide {{bishonen}}, complete with what looks like a split-skirt tunic for his outfit, and gets all giddy like a teenage girl whenever he's near Ragna, but he was pretty much this pre-CharacterDevelopment. He even uses gentle-masculine "Boku" (normally used by boys, such as Carl Clover) to refer to himself (instead of the coarse-masculine "Ore"[[note]]Used by Ragna, Azrael, Kagura, Jubei, Naoto, and even the blatantly flamboyant Amane[[/note]] or gender-neutral "watashi"[[note]]used by Tager, Hazama, Relius and even his alternate self Hakumen[[/note]] expected of a grown man); further accentuating his immaturity. He does gets out of the latter part post-''CS'' though.

* Sergei from ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath''. Effeminate looking, crazy, constantly relaying about the beauty of things, dresses like a drag queen, and has Creator/SteveBlum doing his best evil [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Leeron]] voice.
* Father Balder in ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' certainly acts the part with his soft, preening voice, and his fashion sense is atrociously flamboyant (a dead albino peacock as a stole, a gold half-mask, and a monocle earring, among other things). Underneath it all, though, [[AgentPeacock he's also a nigh-godlike Lumen Sage]].
* ''{{Videogame/Bayonetta 2}}'' introduces The Prophet, [[spoiler:Loptr]] who, despite being a tall and well built man, wears a sheer blue cloak, powder blue lip-stick, and barely speaks above a gentle whisper. [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/9/99/1419071801657.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/640?cb=20141222015658 Concept art]] shows this was once going to be even more extreme (notice the flowing gown and Music/LadyGaga hairbow), and at one point was even [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/b/b6/1419071586696.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/553?cb=20141222015613 planned to be a hermaphrodite]].
* General Lionwhyte from ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend''. His hair is so fabulous, he can actually use it to fly! Also a nicely done shot/shoutout to all hair metal everywhere. It's easy to forget Dragonforce doesn't really fly around on the backs of dragons because they have such FAAAABULOUS hair.
* [[DepravedHomosexual Isaac]] from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaCurseOfDarkness'', who wears an extremely skimply outfit, acts incredibly effeminate and alternates between flirting with the main characters and [[PsychoForHire gleefully attempting to gruesomely murder them]].
%%* Evil from ''VideoGame/CustomRobo''.
* Vyers from ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea|HourOfDarkness}}''. A narcissistic, aristocratic demon with a flamboyant attitude and a french accent. True, none of the rest of the cast take him seriously, but he is at least a Midboss. [[spoiler:It's an act, though. He's applying ObfuscatingStupidity from the moment you first see him, and his true identity is a reincarnation of King Kirchevskoy a.k.a. ''Laharl's father''.]]
* One of the generals in ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 6'' matches this trope perfectly. He belonged to the mostly-evil Wei Kingdom, fought wearing a skirt and makeup, was obsessed with beauty, and in the Sima Yi ending, he's the first to join Sima Yi in backstabbing the WellIntentionedExtremist, Cao Cao. That general's name? Zhang He.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''. Kefka may seem like one of these at first, but it soon becomes apparent that he is [[MonsterClown much,]] [[OmnicidalManiac much]] worse.
** Sephiroth from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is a partial example, having an OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous appearance, menacing and manipulating young men and being very obsessed with his mother - but he isn't particularly camp, and is regarded in universe as a masculine paragon.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX''. [[ViewerGenderConfusion GOOD GOD]], KUJA. So much so he's the page image on ViewerGenderConfusion! Taken UpToEleven in ''VideoGame/{{Dissidia|Final Fantasy}}'', where his main form of offense is ''slapping people in the face with giant balls.''
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI''. [[spoiler:[[AristocratsAreEvil Kam'lanaut]] is more than just a little fey and more than just a little evil.]]
** The omnipresence of this trope led to people speculating that [[CampGay Mayakov]] from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI: Wings of the Goddess'' was going to turn out to be working with the villains. In the end, [[spoiler:[[AvertedTrope he wasn't]]!]]
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' gives us Ardyn, a grandiloquent, camp, flashily-dressed, magenta-haired middle-aged man who is worryingly fixated on a bunch of handsome young men in their early 20s. Noctis even regards him in-universe as a creepy old man at first. Again, ''at first''. In the vein of Kefka, Ardyn is [[HumanoidAbomination so, SO much worse than he lets on.]]
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsA2'' gives us [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Duelhorn#The_Night_Dancer the Night Dancer]] and his troupe, a group of crossdressing [[LizardFolk bangaa]].
** Genesis from ''Final Fantasy: VideoGame/CrisisCore''. Flamboyant hand gestures? Check. Campy {{Bishonen}} appearance? Check. [[MostAnnoyingSound Endless recital of pretentious poetry]]? ''Oh yeah''.
* Valtome from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn]]'', anyone? Or is he just androgynous and prone to creepy giggles?
%%* Lord Zur from ''VideoGame/GuardianHeroes''.
* Emperor Dondera, the BigBad of ''VideoGame/HolyUmbrella'' definitely qualifies. The fact that the eyes of his chest mouth resemble breasts only leads to further ViewerGenderConfusion. Incidentally [[spoiler: during the short time he's in your party, his attacks are [[RealMenWearPink ridiculously powerful]]]].
%%* Razer in ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter''.
* In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'', Ash Crimson easily falls under this trope with his flamboyant personality, flirtatious nature towards the male characters and his feminine looks. Well, at least [[spoiler:[[GoodAllAlong if he was evil to begin with]]]].
* And then the lovely people over at Square gave us ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', and the BigBad of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'', Marluxia. This is a [[{{Bishonen}} MAN]] (better get that straight right away) who's looks would put [[WhiteHairBlackHeart Sephiroth]] to shame. He has long, [[HairColors pink hair]], his WeaponOfChoice is a Pink SinisterScythe, and his unique villainous ability is [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway FLOWERS]]. CherryBlossoms none the less... (The manga took this power one step further and had Marluxia scatter sakura petals with every move he made.) That, in Japanese mythology, cherry blossoms represents death, and in western mythology the scythe is the signature tool of TheGrimReaper, so it might not be so strange that Marluxia, despite all the aforementioned sissyness, still manages to retain most of his manliness.
* Lord Ghirahim from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword''. His heart is full of rainbows! Also, he wears skintight clothing that only barely censors his nipples, he seems to be wearing white lipstick, his short white hair hangs down over his eye, and he enjoys approaching Link in molestacular poses. However, he has serious MoodSwinger tendencies, he's a demon (lord) with a blade, and the overall effect is less "sissy" and more "completely balls-out bonkers." Some fans have said he reminds them of a male Music/LadyGaga.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
** DepravedBisexual Vamp combines knife fighting, knife throwing, and ''flamenco-dancing'' into his own personal combat form. And he's a subversion; it ''works'' so well that he only seems feminine in hindsight, not ''as'' he's slaughtering a team of Navy SEALS or going one on one with a cyborg ninja. Oddly, this stops short in one instance; you'd expect anyone who sees him get up, swishing around the whole time, after being ''shot in the head'' to be more terrified of his regeneration than mocking of his body language, but this only happens when the people around him are either glad he's back or already know what will happen.
** And then there's [[MadBomber Fatman]] from the same QuirkyMinibossSquad, who has lovely taste in nail polish.
* The BigBad from ''VideoGame/NoOneLivesForever 2''. Although like the many outrageous stereotypes, he is PlayedForLaughs.
* The Vykkers from ''[[VideoGame/{{Oddworld}} Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee]]'' don't look effeminate, looking like a weird centaur version of TheGrays, but they speak with flaming, shrill voices.
* Charles from ''VideoGame/PennyArcadeAdventures'', lampshaded mercilessly: ''SISSY BOSS FIGHT!''
* Shadow Kanji in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' decides to reflect Kanji's insecurity about his [[RealMenWearPink girly hobbies]] (and possibly his being AmbiguouslyGay) by dressing in nothing but a bath towel and acting as CampGay as possible. And let's not even get into when he transforms...
* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'':
** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica''. Alfred. Ashford. Granted, his compulsion to dress up in women's clothing is due to a [[Film/{{Psycho}} Norman Bates-esque]] desire to emulate his [[spoiler:sister]], but he's still prancing around in a dress and giggling.
** Salazar in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', who's a wrinkly, [[YoungerThanTheyLook 20-year-old]] giggling midget dressed like Napoleon. In stark contrast to his CoDragons Mendez and Krauser, he also shows zero signs of any badassery and at one point even runs off crying after getting his hand stabbed; he only even becomes a boss fight by virtue of letting himself get absorbed into giant Plagas blob and [[OneWingedAngel transforming into a tentacle monster]].
** Morpheus Duvall of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilDeadAim''. Yeah, it's a guy. Even harder to tell when his transformation has breasts and built in high heels. He's also totally vain and obsessed with his own beauty.
%%* Yoshiaki and Sorin in ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara.''
* [[spoiler: Princess Kenny]] from ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth''. The fact that the FinalBoss is [[spoiler: a 10-year-old boy [[WholesomeCrossdresser dressed up as a pretty princess]]]] only adds to the game's intentional weirdness.
* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'': [[PsychoForHire Vega]] [[TheFightingNarcissist is obsessed with his looks]], which is why he wears a ceramic mask to protect his face when he fights. He's also effeminate regards anything he deems "ugly" with contempt. Most of all, [[EffeminateMisogynisticGuy he hates women.]] At least, ''he did'', until Creator/{{Capcom}} decided to change his image a bit to dispel [[{{Fanon}} the rumors that Vega was gay.]] Nowadays, he regards Chun Li as his equal, in terms of beauty, and acknowledges Cammy's beauty as well.
* ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'''s [[TheCaligula King Croacus IV]] is a gigantic, sentient rose wearing makeup, and constantly talks about "beauuuuuuuty!" and has some sort of VerbalTic about saying "oooooooo-weeeeeee-oooooooo!" He's also responsible for kidnapping a race of cavemen and enslaving them to work in his mines, digging up more jewels to add to his palace. [[spoiler: He was actually driven insane after drinking water [[GreenAesop polluted by said cavemen.]]]]
* The Marquis du Singe from ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'', a fey and foppish MadScientist with an outrageous French accent.
* Cumore from ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'', [[CampGay Dist]] in ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'', and [[BigBad Yggdrasil]] in ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia''. To be fair, though, that last one is a ''lot'' more effective than most of the bad guys mentioned here, in no small part due to his {{Magnificent Bastard}}ry and an EvilPlan that [[XanatosGambit benefits him regardless of its outcome.]] as well as his eventual crossing of a pretty big MoralEventHorizon, [[FashionVictimVillain even with his 80's disco suit]].
* Mettaton from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' would be a textbook example, although he is redeemable and, as with almost all other characters, can be befriended.
* Toyed with a bit in ''VideoGame/VagrantStory''. Sydney seems like a pretty standard twinky Squaresoft villain at first, questionable outfit and everything. It turns out [[spoiler: he's not a villain. And he's really, really badass]]. Though he ''does'' briefly put his hand on Ashley's knee during the Atrium scene.
%%* Cecile Newcastle in ''VideoGame/WinBack''.
