Quina

From: Final Fantasy IX
Remembered for: Being that annoying fat thing that ate frogs
Forgotten for: No-nonsense enemy-scoffing

Armed with one of many dinner forks, Quina took an unusual approach to finishing off enemies. Not content with merely driving a sword through the blubbery skin of opponents, Quina viciously cooked them alive and devoured them in a single swallow, extracting skills from the body of victims as they were digested.

Truth be told, Quina was a badass. Yet no one ever really wanted to play as Quina. He/she (the character's gender was never discovered), was always the last on the team to get picked, the runt of the battalion litter, the fat kid in FF games lessons.

As Final Fantasy IX progressed, Quina's disposable storyline and forgettable character interaction belied his/her prowess as a coldhearted, human-sacrificing killing machine.
