** While all your allies in the first game are based on classic Mario enemies and have attacks along the same theme, the second game mixes it up with a few characters of species previously seen as non-hostile NPC characters, never seen before at all, or {{spoiler|a former member of the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]}}.

* The ''[[Lufia]]'' games. ''Lufia II'' has "capsule monsters", a small group of monsters--each with their own element--that can be found outside of combat and recruited. ''Ruins of Lore'' allows you to capture and train ''any'' regular monster and teach them skills from other captured monsters. In both games, the player does not control the monster's actions.

** ''Narikiri Dungeon X'' expands on the concept further, by allowing you to tame practically ''any'' enemy (Final boss included), allows you replace all of your standard party members with them, and lets you assume direct control of them, as well.

* Kinda subverted in ''[[Arcanum]]: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura'' - characters with a high enough Persuasion skill can get "Gar, World's Smartest Orc" - who turns out to be an upper-class human who takes after a distant, presumably orcish ancestor.

** Byblos, the Apanda-class demon that joins as a Guest in the final floor of the Deep Dungeon, and joins permanently if it survives.

* ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]]'' lets you tame monsters, but they can't join you in battle directly. Instead, the Morpher class can use their abilities.

** Chocobo Knights can also tame the birds, but they cannot exist separate from their tamer of they run off.

* ''[[Ogre Battle]]'' and ''[[Tactics Ogre]]''
