* The obscure Japan-only [[Data East]] game ''Garyo Retsuden'' takes place in [[Romance of the Three Kingdoms|Three Kingdoms-era]] China, and for the most part, the enemy forces don't look out of place there. At least until you reach the final boss. Red-and-yellow garb you'd normally expect to see in a superhero comic, wild blond hair, green half-mask and gloves...you get the idea. Even better, he's none other than Lu Bu. Yes, ''that'' [[Romance of the Three Kingdoms|Lu]] [[Dynasty Warriors|Bu]].
* [[Dark Souls]] has a hilarious example in an NPC Black Phantom called Xanthous King Jeremiah (Jeremiah the Yellow King in Japanese). As expected from his [[Boss Subtitles]], he [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|wears yellow]] getup, which is about as close an equivalent to a near gold yellow yogist's gear (think [[Street Fighter|Dhalsim]]) with an overly huge, pointy suppository-shaped turban. Even the ''item description'' snarks about its color which "hurts the eyes".
** The yellow turban however, is a legacy item from [[DemonsDemon's Souls]], where it is awarded to players who play the role of a Boss in a certain map. While the Dark Souls example doesn't do anything special (except being traded for a very rare ring), the Demons Souls variation gives an increase in magic damage, at the cost of wearing what looks like a [[Fan Nickname|custard tornado]].
** Another unfortunate example is [[DemonsDemon's Souls]]' Garl Vinland. Say what you will about his supposed villainy (or rather, [[Anti-Villain|lack thereof]]), but the man is very knightly and very badass-like, if not for his squid head-shaped ornament on his helmet. The nicknames "Squid-head" and "Squid-knight" are particularly frequently mentioned.
