* ''Legend of Legaia'' provides a misguided [[Big Bad]] who creates the Fog of Doom, which warps the titular [[Utopia]] into a [[Crapsack World]]. But otherwise, [[Irony|the fog was harmless]]. Unless you were wearing a Seru, as the fog turned those, and anyone who was wearing one, into a horrible monster. And given that, before the fog, everyone was using them non-stop to do everything, it was a fog of doom. Oh, and if you ran into one of those previously mentioned monsters that were lurking in the mist just outside of the few remaining safe havens, you were screwed, since ordinary weapons were worse than useless against them.
* In the ''[[City of Heroes]]'' [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]], the Dark Astoria iszone awas zoneoriginally covered in a frustratingly opaque mist, filled with arcane and supernatural enemies. For extra points, all of the neighborhoods and landmarks in Dark Astoria are named after old school horror authors, filmmakers, and characters. Adding to the creepy lethality of the zone, players can see vague images of the zone's long-dead inhabitants in the mist... who fade upon approaching.
** With the Banished Pantheon's success at waking the death god Mot, the mist has vanished and the level of the enemies has shot up dramatically; the zone is now end-game content for incarnate-level heroes.
* ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'s'' Fog of Doom was the source of many a scary monster. On the other hand, it was also the source of many a {{spoiler|black mage.}}
* The miasma of ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles]]''.

* It's just like they say in [[First Encounter Assault Recon]] : #$@&ING RUN!!!
* In the latest version of ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' the surfaces of evil regions have a variety of clouds of randomly named materials ("execrable soot", "accursed gloom", etc) which cause randomly determined symptoms, ranging from mild dizziness to all of your internal organs rotting to becoming a zombie.
