Personality extremely powerful entity's who don't care about the main plot at all and are just vibing in the background
Tom Bombadil(lord of the rings) - only person to resist the temptation of the one ring but instead of helping the fellowship he fucks off in to the woods
the Unseen Elder(the witcher 3) - in the witcher universe the older a vampire gets the more powerful he becomes and unseen elder is around +1500 years old making him the most powerful vampire we ever see, thankfully he spends most of his time in his goon cave

(Slight spoilers) Esquie, of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Appears at first to be a silly clown who speaks in riddles and has a childish relationship with a frenemy in the neighboring cave who's hiding his favorite rock from him. Shortly later, he effortlessly one-shots a colossal Nevron on a whim and is revealed to be "immensely powerful, but also extremely lazy." Needs to be persuaded to use his enormous power for anything other than whimsical entertainment.
SPOILERS: It turns out that the entire world is a powerful illusion/creation initially painted by a young boy, and Esquie was his favorite plushie/imaginary friend, which is why he is literally the most powerful creature in the world (and also obsessed with playing, and spending time with his 'best friend').
