Line 29:
* Rabites from the ''[[Seiken Densetsu|Mana]]'' series: Small, legless creatures with rabbit-like ears, a cottonpuff tail, and at their higher levels especially, [[Killer Rabbit|one mean bite]]. Some entries in the series even allow you to have a Rabite as [[Mon|your own sidekick]].
* [[Rune Factory]] has the Woolies, adorable bipedal sheep. Since the series a spin-off of [[Harvest Moon]] with monster battles and exploration added, the woolies can actually be tamed and used as a source of wool.
* [[Dark Souls]] has the [http://www.gamershell.com/static/screenshots/24378/532172_full.jpg Black Knights]{{dead link}}, who dominate official artwork and promotional material.
== Anime & Manga ==
Line 67:
* ''[[Duke Nukem]]'' has the pig cops, who, since their appearance in [[Duke Nukem 3D]], have proven to be the most popular enemies; since that game, they've appeared in many spin-offs of the main series.
* The Boomer in the ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' franchise has gotten popular enough to have Valve's store sell a plushie of the said bloated special infected, complete with sounds it makes in the game if [[Squick|you press the boils on its belly.]] Plushies of the other special infected are in the works.
* ''[[Descent]]'' had two of these, owing to their at-the-time unique designs: The [https://web.archive.org/web/20120804181846/http://www.descent2.com/goodies/3dmodels/thinman/previews/3d_003.jpg Class One Drone] and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20140824140205/http://www.descent2.com/goodies/3dmodels/thinman/previews/3d_002.jpg Medium Lifter]. A recolored Medium Lifter was on the [http://opaquedream.com/images/gameost_descent2.jpg Box Art for ''Descent 2''] (although the Medium Lifter was replaced by [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/13307/1413793-diamond_large.jpg the similar-looking Diamond Claw]{{Dead link}} for ''Descent 2''), and the Class One Drones were in a few places in ''Descent 3''.
* The Cacodemon from [[Doom]].
Line 125:
== Turn Based Strategy ==
* Prinnies from the ''[[Disgaea]]'' series are condemned souls forced to work off their afterlife sentence in the hopes of being reincarnated as something ''not'' a Prinny in their next life. They also happen to be [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|adorable little patchwork]] [[Everything's Better with Penguins|penguins]] who are [[Knife Nut|good with knives]], [[Made of Explodium|explode when thrown]] and like saying [[Verbal Tic|"dood!"]]. Of course, this being ''Disgaea'' we're talking about, the fact that they're [[Mooks]] puts them squarely under the ''[[Player
** Prinnies are beloved enough to star in their own nigh-[[Platform Hell]] PSP game ([[No Fourth Wall|much to the consternation of the heroine of a cancelled game who's stuck doing cameos]]), appropriately called Prinny. [[Nintendo Hard|You get a]] ''[[Nintendo Hard|thousand]]'' [[Nintendo Hard|lives at the start.]]
Line 142:
* Fyoras in ''[[Geneforge]]'' are this, [[Monster Allies]], and the commonest of [[Com Mons]] all rolled into one. Physically, they're fire-spitting bipedal lizards—mentally, [[All Animals Are Dogs|they're dogs]], and in one ending of game 2 the main character is shown passing time in prison by teaching one to roll over for treats.
* Mud crabs in ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' games. While they're not even a threat to starting players and go down easily, they still have the honour of being famous for starring one as, inexplicibly, a ''merchant'' in ''Morrowind'', and as a topic of discussion amongst [[NPC]]s that quickly spawned memes in ''Oblivion''.
* Big Daddies from [[BioShock (series)|BioShock]].
* ''[[Dungeons of Dredmor]]'' has the Diggles, weird little drill-nosed creatures that look like a cross between a mole and a penguin.
