* A [[Running Gag]] in the [[Super Robot]] [[Reconstruction]] fic ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|NGE:]] [[Nobody Dies (Fanfic)|Nobody Dies]]'' has [[Eldritch Abomination|R]][[Genki Girl|e]][[Crazy Awesome|i]] using a rubber mallet in a really unexpected way...
{{quote| '''Gendo:''' A squeaky mallet.<br />
'''Maya:''' I have ''no'' idea how she destroyed Sub Commander Fuyutsuki's car with it.<br />
'''Yui:''' How do you bend steel with a squeaky hammer?!<br />
'''Gendo:''' From a 45 degree angle, apparently. ''(Yui facepalms)'' }}
** It's also Mana's weapon of choice in Jet Alone Prime.

== Toys ==
* In ''[[Bionicle]]'', a web serial includes a good [[Alternate Universe]] version of Makuta, the [[Big Bad]], who carries a warhammer. He then brutally [[Deconstruction|deconstructs]] the non-violent, non-lethal connotations of this trope by [[Just for Pun|brutally deconstructing]] evil alternate versions of Takanuva.
{{quote| '''Mazeka''': Where's the third one?<br />
'''Makuta''': There. And there. And some over there. }}
 
Line 251:
** The Paladin class has a lot of "Hammer of" attacks, a lot of which have graphics of hammers.
** The quest [http://www.wowpedia.org/Quest:Thieving_Little_Pluckers "Thieving Little Pluckers"] has you dealing with pygmy thieves in a certain way.
{{quote| '''Nomarch Teneth''': Take this mallet, crafted by the titans, blessed by the sun-kings and who-knows-what-else and smash the runts!}}
* ''[[Diablo II]]''. Mace-class weapons include Warhammers, Mauls, and Great Mauls, plus their Exceptional and Elite versions. 50% more damage to undead, too.
** And there's also the Paladin's Blessed Hammer skill.
Line 268:
* Yangus uses hammers as one of his favored weapon sets in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''.
* The Order of the Hammer (colloquially known as "Hammerites"), the main religion in ''[[Thief]]'', uses the hammer as both their holy symbol, and their weapon of choice.
{{quote| [[Shout-Out|"Hadst I a hammer, wouldst I hammer in the morning. Wouldst I hammer in the evening, all over this land."]]}}
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' has had hammers and mauls in some of their games, but ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' gives them to [[The Medic|White Mages]] and cranks it all the way up to... well, you know. [[Limit Break|Hexa Strike]] + well-geared WHM = a tiny pile of powder that was once a [[Dem Bones|skeleton]].
* ''[[Dark Cloud|Dark Cloud 2]]'' features various warhammers as the main character's [[Weapon of Choice]].
Line 326:
* The Warhammer from ''[[Turok]]'' series.
* In the point-and-click adventure game ''[[Space Goofs|Stupid Invaders]]'', Gorgeous uses a hammer made of [[Dung Fu|dung]] to take out a redneck welder for his gas tank.
{{quote| '''Gorgeous''': 60 million years... in one blow!}}
* In ''The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout'', a hammer is Bugs Bunny's only weapon.
* In ''[[Mr. Do]]'s Castle'', Mr. Do! wields a hammer.

== Web Comics ==
* Mink of ''[[Darken]]'' uses a massive hammer.
{{quote| ''"It's so ecclesiastical! And '''smitey'''! Oh come on!"''}}
* Durkon Thundershield from ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]''. Being a Dwarven Cleric of Thor, it's not surprising that he wields a one-handed warhammer. He's overall more a healer than a warrior, but he has the ability to occasionally grow to positively ''gigantic'' proportions when muscle is desperately needed. His hammer, of course, [[BFS|grows along with him]].
** The fact that it grows along with him is justified in that ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'' is based on D&D rules, and just about all of the size-expansion spells make equipment grow too.
