** [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0216.html This strip] shows off a very good example of a character a Munchkin would make, and a very good example of how a smart [[Game Master]] can deal with it. The example given is quite possibly illegal (depending on your interpretation of the rules for "attacks of opportunity"), but also relatively mundane, considering that [[Vancian Magic|the spell system]] of ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' is widely considered to be a [[Game Breaker]] in its own right. (It should be noted that the tactic in the comic doesn't work, but see the discussion page if you want to talk about that.)
** [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0125.html Behold] a "Roleplaying" Munchkin at its shameless moment.
* The embodiment of the Munchkin is the character Red Mage of ''[[8-Bit Theater]]'', who only cares about items based on their stat increases, is a huge Twink and thus (initially) wouldn't use a spell that aligns him improperly to save anyone's life, and thinks he can manipulate the laws of the universe by shifting the numbers on his stat sheet and avoid damage by ''forgetting'' to write things down (though this [[Rule of Funny|often works]]). Also, [https://web.archive.org/web/20180209055610/http://www.nuklearpower.com/2007/11/03/episode-915-cult-of-stupidity/3 in a 2007 episode], he revealed he is the [[Last of His Kind]], because ''every'' Red Mage was a munchkin, and as the dragon [[Fluffy the Terrible|Muffin]] sums up, "they "[[Too Dumb to Live|stupided themselves to extinction]]".
** Ranger is also a solid Munchkin, considering his choice of classes (to be precise, Ranger and Ranger) his constant abuse of the rules ("Moreover! As a Ranger/Ranger, I can dual-wield my dual-wield!") and his strange family (every species is in his genealogical tree).
* ''[[Darths and Droids]]'' turns [[Star Wars|R2-D2]] into this. To be exact, his form comes from taking [[Do-Anything Robot|so many gadgets and abilities]], offset with lots of flaws and downsides, notably the inability to speak Basic.
