Overconfidence

Overconfident creatures believe in their own abilities to such an extent that they underestimate their opponents. This recklessness often leads to their downfall, as they fail to recognize the danger they are in until it’s too late. In myth, overconfidence is a common flaw of powerful beings who, due to their arrogance, are defeated by enemies they dismissed as weak.
