** According to the Pokédex, Eevee evolves into its Dark-type evolution Umbreon by exposure to the light of the moon, Lunatone becomes active during the full moon, and Cresselia extends its aurora during the quarter moon.

** There's also the Moon Stone, which allows a miscellaneous grouping of Pokémon to evolve. Only one of them, Clefairy, has any connections to the moon, being said to have originated on it.

** One could argue that, since the Moon mirror the light of the Sun, Luna (Moon) is simply the flip-side of Aska (Sun).

* In ''[[Chrono Cross (Video Game)|Chrono Cross]]'', Harle, the harlequin minion of villain Lynx, is revealed late in the game to be {{spoiler|the Dark Moon Dragon, created by the other six Dragons to be a servant of the Dragon God. She was created secretly so that she could release the seal on the other six Dragons and they would be able to merge once more into the Dragon God and unleash havoc on humans once again. She is eventually abandoned by them, as she did not merge with the other dragons}}. She's even named Tsukuyomi in the Japanese version, after the Japanese moon god. Her special attacks are all moon-based.

* [[Superjail (Animation)|Superjail]] has an interesting variation: In the pilot episode, The Warden decides to order bunny suits for all of the inmates. The Twins screw up his order, of course, and half of the suits are now wolf suits. The Warden decides to 'congradulate' The Twins while they're working out in the prison yard with the inmates (who are now clad in either bunny suits or wolf suits.) The Warden then proceeds to 'start the big show' and raises the full moon in the sky. The prisoners in the wolf suits suddenly start foaming at the mouth and transform into ''actual werewolves.''

* An episode of ''[[Dexters Laboratory]]'' had Dexter experiencing a bad day. Dee Dee convinces him that it's because of the zodiac - the Moon is blocking him from his constellation. He solves it by pushing the Moon... and accidentally causing it to [[Colony Drop|fall into his city]].

** Cue a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] when it hits him why rotating the moon half way around has no effect on the lunar phases. [[Completely Missing the Point|And then reasons that he should have rotated the Sun instead]].

* Shikata, the [[Samurai]] [[Blood Knight]] mercenary [[Ki Attacks|ki-adept]] hired to kill Spider-Man in the [[Spider-Man the New Animated Series|2003 Spider-Man animated series]], gained [[Immortality|indefinitely-prolonged youth]], [[Ki Attacks]] and a [[Healing Factor]] by reflecting moonlight off her magic sword and onto her skin.
