* Baron Ashura from ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' is a strange being formed from the halves of two lovers, sewn together down the middle. What his/her genitals look like is a mystery though, and that's probably for the best.
* The futanari (meaning Two-Form) subgenre of [[Hentai]] contains many examples. In Japanese circles, there are no less than 2 kinds of said futanari, which are either ladies with both sets of genitalia but lacking a visible pair of testicles, or ones that come with testicles on top of the female genitalia. Confusing either with 'shemales' (ones without female genitalia) is a surefire way to generate a heated argument.
** The ''Rebis Dungeon'' (of the eponymous [[Hentai]] manga/doujin artist Rebis<ref>Not to be confused with "Negative Man"/Rebis</ref>) collection of works is simply ''rife'' with futanari of almost any kind. Of note is that the artist appears to be an avid ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' fan—and [[Rule 34|yes, he has hentai fanart of it]], which includes hermaphroditic Slaaneshi Daemons.
* Yubel in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''. Is never referred with either male or female pronoun {{spoiler|even in its past life}}, and has a [[Yandere]] fixation on Judai and speaking in a feminine voice slightly more often, but refers to itself using male pronouns.
** The [[4Kids! Entertainment]] dub, however, makes Yubel completely female. [[Sarcasm Mode|How]] [[Bowdlerize|shocking]].

* Slaanesh, the youngest [[Eldritch Abomination|Chaos God]] in ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'', can be just as accurately referred to as "The Dark Prince" and "She Who Thirsts." Traditional lore portrays it as a rather unusual version of this trope; basically, cut a woman and a man, both exceptionally beautiful, in half vertically and then fuse the woman's right half to the man's left half to make a whole human being. That's what Slaanesh's "main" form looks like. Slaanesh's followers tend to end up rather distorted in terms of gender, but for male worshippers, having the right pectoral swell into a female breast is considered a high mark of favor, as it makes them more like Slaanesh itself. Of course, as a supremely powerful warp entity, Slaanesh can alter its form to appear male, female, hermaphroditic, or androgynous, but not matter how it appears, it is supremely seductive—so that yes, you'd hit that, and you'd sell your soul for the chance to do so.
* ''[[Mage: The Awakening]]'' has a Legacy called the Daksha, whose members are all hermaphrodites (they don't start out like that, but are transformed by joining the Legacy). They have the ability to [[Gender Bender|shapeshift between a male, female, and hermaphroditic form]], though they tend to consider the latter their "true" form, regardless of their original gender.
* In ''[[Unknown Armies]]'' one of the archetypes an avatar can follow (and described as one of the hardest to master) is that of the Mystic Hermaphrodite - a being that represents absolute paradox (which is the foundation on which magick is created in the game). When an avatar achieves greater levels of mastery over the archetype he/she can change gender at will, but risks becoming a biological hermaphrodite if the roll is botched.
