I woz one of da boyz till da godz smashed me in da 'ead an' I 'membered dat Orks is meant to conquer and make slaves of everyfing they don't kill. I'm da profit of da Waaagh an' whole worlds burn in my boot prints. On Armour-Geddem, I led da boyz through da fire deserts and smashed da humies' metal cities to scrap. I fought Yarik, old one-eye at Tarturus, an' he fought good but we smashed iz city too. I'm death to anyfing dat walks or crawls, where I go nothin' stands in my way. We crushed da stunties on Golgotha, an' we caught old one-eye when da speed freeks blew da humies' big tanks ta bits. I let 'im go 'cause good enemies iz 'ard to find, an' Orks need enemies ta fight like they need meat ta eat an' grog ta drink. I iz more cunnin' than a grot an' more killy than a dread, da boyz dat follow me can't be beat. On Pissenah we jumped da marine-boyz an' our bosspoles was covered in da helmets we took from da dead 'uns. We burned dere port an' killed dere bosses an' left nothin' but ruins behind.

We iz gonna do this coz' we're Orks an' we was made ta fight an' win!"

 * "They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of war I shall forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest gun shall they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines such that no foe will best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the terror. They are the defenders of Humanity.

""There! There is where the orcs shall dwell! There they will survive, and multiply, and grow stronger, and a day will come when they shall cover the world, and they will slay all of your collective peoples! Orcs shall inherit the world you sought to cheat me of!""
 * It is, of course, present in Warhammer as well.
 * "I'm gonna stomp 'em to dust. I'm gonna grind their bones. I'm gonna burn down dere towns and cities. I'm gonna pile 'em up inna big fire and roast 'em. I'm gonna bash 'eads, break faces, and stomp on da bits dat are left. An' den I'm gonna get really mean." --Grimgor Ironhide, Black Orc Warboss

 * In Werewolf: The Forsaken, when a werewolf increases in Renown, they use a ritual to summon a Lune (moon spirits which serve the patron spirit of the werewolves) to brand the werewolf with a record of the deed which got them their new Renown level in glowing letters. Renown is gained by monumental achievements in Cunning (stealth, manipulation, cleverness, diplomacy), Glory (bravery, tradition, valour, daring), Honour (justice, truth, fairness), Purity (self-restraint, zeal, morality), and Wisdom (logic, intelligence, memory, intuition). This means that almost every werewolf has their Badass Boast burned into their skin for all spiritual enemies to see.
 * Another Dungeons and Dragons example, according to one of the creation myths regarding the orcish god Gruumsh, it is said that after the gods finished creating the world, the patron gods of The Five Races gathered together to draw lots for where their peoples would live. The drawing was rigged, however, as they didn't have enough lots for them all and Gruumsh was excluded from the drawing. The other gods mocked that the orcs would have no place in the world, Gruumsh lifted his spear and struck it down upon the landscape, turning portions of the world harsh and barren, and declared;

"Countless victories are behind us, yet we are not half done. We fight to restore a legacy once denied to us. Our enemies tremble before our invincible armies, and all will kneel or perish. The Khadric Empire is gone but the Khadoran Empire is born! - Empress Ayn Vanar."
 * In the Dungeons and Dragons 2e supplement I, Beholder, beholders are said to enjoy telling each other stories, usually about the creatures they have killed. Such stories usually begin with a lengthy recitation of the many victories and kills attributed to the creature, ending with, "And then it met me."
 * Magic: The Gathering:
 * Many Legendary Creatures have flavor text with either the creature's badass boast, or another person making the boast for them.
 * In Alara Unbroken, Nicol Bolas boasts, "I've survived more apocalypses than you've had chest colds."
 * When planeswalkers were godlike beings he had an even better one, it goes a good page an a half but the highlights are "I have devoured stars, and shattered worlds, I have bathed in the blood of gods, and used their bones to build my nest. I am the Mind Ripper, the deathbringer, the winged dark that terrifies your dreams. I am Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, Elder Dragon, The oldest and most powerful being that has ever, or shall ever exist!."
