{{Video Game Examples Need Sorting}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
* ''[http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Pirates-Ninjas-Zombies-Pandas-Coming-iPhone-Next-Month-28135.html Pirates Vs. Ninjas Vs. Zombies Vs. Pandas]''. Too bad they're not ''robot'' pandas.
* ''Ninja-Pi-Ro'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20130902235708/http://www.pencilkids.com/the-vault/ninjapiro-flash-game/ (playable here)] a flash game by Pencil Kids, which shares (with the lack of one word) this trope's title. This trope is also it's only apparent reason for existence
* ''[[Halo]]'' is heavy in this trope (more so in the books) due to the Jackals, or Kig-Yar: a series of dinosaur-like aliens that travel around raiding vessels for goods to sell, like pirates(!). They're also employed by the overtly religious Covenant as special-forces soldiers and (in one case) as specialised assassins, making them a troperiffic race of Ninja Priest Commando Dinosaur Space Pirates. Wow.
* In ''[[Battle Moon Wars]]'', [[Tsukihime|Kohaku]] becomes Magical Amber who happens to be a [[Magical Girl]], witch, [[Miko]], [[Ninja]], and [[Meido|maid]].
* ''LEGO Universe'' is [http://www.gametrailers.com/video/ces-10-lego-universe/60584 including them all, and then some]. It'll be interesting to see if it succeeds.
* [[Command and& Conquer]]: Kane's Wrath has the Marked of Kane, whose basic infantry squad is composed by [[Night of the Living Mooks|undead]] [[Applied Phlebotinum|tiberium]]mutated cyborgs of [[Knight Templar|religious fanatics]] armed with, intead of arms, [[Arm Cannon|heavy machine guns]] and [[EMP]] cannons.
** They got [[Gas Mask Mooks|rebreather systems]] apparently [[Nightmare Fuel|replacing the lower part of their faces. Oh yes, and it seems their skin is dissecated.]]
*** Then there's the [[Humongous Mecha|Avatar]], which can scrap the weapons of other Nod vehicles to use itself. This makes for a laser-flamethrower-CLOAKED-and-cloakdetecting humongous Mecha. With an extra laser cannon for good measure.
* This trope is named for one of the familiars in ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]''. Familiar was named for a [https://web.archive.org/web/20140103202804/http://npzr.org/ clan] of exactly the same name.
** Then there's the Protector Spectre and its description, which [[Exact Words|is the ghost of a mummy of an ancient high priest, which is pretty scary, but not as scary as the ghost of a mummy of an ancient werewolf high priest would be. Man, that'd be terrifying. And if he'd been a vampire before he caught lycanthropy? Wow. ...But I digress]]. The Protector Spectre, that is. [[Running Gag|Not]] [[Ambiguous Syntax|its description]].
* ''[[Killer 7Killer7]]''. An old senile hitman, who spends the duration of the story getting raped by his maid, with seven split personalities which can manifest into the real world fighting suicide bomber zombie things who are really happy all the time. The split personalities are comprised of a black guy with resurrection powers, a badass anime stereotype with a revolver that can shoot energy balls, Mexican Tommy Vercetti with super jumping powers and the ability to fire a weapon upside down without breaking his elbow, a blind Chinese gangsta kid who can run really freaking fast and dual-wields submachineguns, a sniper chick who really ''really'' likes blood, a mute albino knife freak who can turn invisible, and a macho libre wrestler.
* Time Gentlemen, Please! is a game about a pair of time-travelers fighting Robot Nazi [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Dinosaurs|Dinosaurs]].
* ''[[Turok (Video Gameseries)|Turok]]'' has you playing as a ''Dimension hopping Native American who kills [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Dinosaurs|Dinosaurs]], Cyborgs, Zombies and Aliens with [[More Dakka|increasingly]] over compensatory, bizarre and incredibly [[No Kill Like Overkill|over-powered]] [[BFG|guns]].''
* For the combination of mundane and awesome, you can't beat ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''. Disney and [[Square Enix]] sounds like an unlikely combination, until you sit down and play it. Which of the 2 companies is mundane and which is awesome is up to you.
* ''[[Rayman|Rayman 2: the Great Escape]]'' contains actual Ninja Pirate Robots, although regrettably they aren't zombies.
** In some versions of ''Rayman 2'', there are zombie versions of the robot pirates in one area, so Zombie Pirate Robots also exist in the game. Unfortunately, they're not ninjas.
* ''[[Boktai (Video Game)|Lunar Knights]]'' among other things contains a light-dark-ice elemental robotic giant enemy crab controlled by a vampire and powered by said vampire, a solar flamethrower gun slinging vampire hunter, and a multi-tailed fox that is the embodiment of ice on the earth.
* ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]''
** The 3rd game parodies this with its [[Game Within a Game]] 'robotic pirate ghosts'.
Line 23 ⟶ 26:
** ...The 2nd and 3rd games' ''lawn gnome ninjas.''
* Almost all of the weapons in ''[[Painkiller]]'' are this [[Improbable Weapon User|Improbably]] Cool. Unless you're one of the title's [[Puzzle Boss|Puzzle Bosses]], you ''do not'' argue with the chaingun-plus-rocket launcher. As [[Zero Punctuation|Ben Croshaw]] said, "all you really need to know is that there's a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning. I wish I could make something like that up. It shoots shurikens and lightning; it could only be more awesome if it had [[Fan Service|tits]] and was ''[[Incendiary Exponent|on fire]]''."
* ''Orevore Courier'' features pirates vs. zombies [[In Space|IN SPACE]].
* ''[[Time Splitters]]'' worked on monkeys, robots and zombies being cool on their own in the first two games, but descended into madness by the third, with zombie monkeys, robot monkeys and ninja monkeys (and a pirate).
* Behold! [http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/wii-shark-gun-is-what-it-sounds-like-338563.php The Shark Gun for the Nintendo Wii (and/or Wæ#402;¼)!]
* [[Zero Punctuation]] describes ''[[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Psychonauts]]'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20080513155057/http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/1368-Zero-Punctuation-Psychonauts completely accurately], as a game featuring "a telekinetic bear, [[Mad Scientist|a dentist who harvests brains]], a sequence wherein you become [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever|a giant Godzilla-style monster]] and terrorize a society of talking fish, and [[The Men in Black|a shadowy trenchcoated government agent]] who disguises himself as a housewife by [[Most Definitely Not a Villain|brandishing a rolling pin and talking disjointedly about pies]]".
** His later review of ''Painkiller'', specifically the particular projectiles launched by a certain weapon. "Shurikens and lightning!"
* ''[[Gungrave]]'' is built around this. If ''Gungrave: Overdose'' didn't feature Rocketbilly Redcadillac - a rockabilly ghost possessing an electricity-shooting guitar - I wouldn't have bought it. Did I mention it's all designed by the creator of ''[[Trigun]]''?
** Beyond the Grave, the hero of the series: techno-zombie cowboy, check. [[Guns Akimbo|Dual-wields]] a pair of pistols the [[Hand Cannon|size of toaster ovens]], check. Carries a giant [[Impossibly Cool Weapon|coffin]] on his back loaded with a [[Gatling Good|vulcan cannon]] and [[Macross Missile Massacre|bazooka/missile launcher]], oh my goodness, check!
** Juji Kabane, from ''Overdose'', is a blind undead swordsman who [[Dual -Wielding|dual-wields]] [[Cool Guns|gun]]-[[Katanas Are Just Better|katanas]] in [[Reverse Grip|reverse grip]] and tends to [[Kill It Withwith Fire|kill things with]] [[Incendiary Exponent|FIRE]]. And he also owns the above possessed guitar. YEAH!
* The mod for the ''[[Half-Life]]'' series named Pirates, Vikings and Knights. [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Guess what it involves.]]
** Another mod for Half-Life, ''[[Afraid of Monsters]]'', has this too. Not as blatant as the above mod, but one enemy in it is a ''giant flickering ghost alien [[Nightmare Face]] that shoot homing bees with a childish laughter''. But it's all okay, because it is only one of many hallucinations in the mod.
* ''[[Disgaea]]'' has all four: Ninjas (especially Yukimaru, [[Verbal Tic|zam]]), Pirates (in the Item Worlds of ''D2'', which can include both Zombie Pirates and Ninja Pirates), Zombies (including one with a "horse's wiener"...what?) and Robots (THURSDAY!, the [[Robot Buddy]] of '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''')
** The [[Made of Explodium|explosive]], adorable but demonic, patchwork, peg legged, [[Chew Toy]] (or [[Butt Monkey]])[[Everything Is's Better Withwith Penguins|Prinnies]] also count too, [[Verbal Tic|Dood!]]
* ''[[Earthbound (Video Game)|EarthboundEarthBound]]''. [[Psychic Powers]], [[Killer Yoyo|Killer Yoyos]], dangerous hippies, malevolent aliens, sentient vomit...and so forth...and a little boy from [[Eagle Land]] is at the center of it all.
** However, ''[[Mother 3 (Video Game)|Mother 3]]'' takes this trope and deconstructs it. In the second half of the game, most of the enemies are [[Mix -and -Match Critters]] or mechanized animals created by the Pigmasks. It really makes you want to kill their leader that much more.
* Chainsaw bayonets from ''[[Gears of War]]''.
** And the sequel is set to feature chainsaw bayonet ''duels''. Responses are very similar to the Calvin and Hobbes example, I.E. "This is ''so'' cool!" or "This is ''so'' stupid."
Line 42 ⟶ 45:
* ''Pirates Vs. Ninjas Dodgeball''. And it doesn't stop at those two. There are other teams like robots, zombies, and aliens.
* Some of us thought we were seeing things when we saw the first trailers for ''[[Lego Adaptation Game|Lego Star Wars]]''.
* ''[[Para World]]'' probably takes the prize for this trope. Where to begin? Among others, the units available include ninjas, voodoo doctors who can restore you to life after you die, pirates who come from the same clan as the aforementioned ninjas, a guy who destroys buildings by ''headbutting'' them - buildings, now! -, a catapult that shoots raptor eggs that hatch on impact and attack the nearest living creature, a guy with a gatling gun - made of {{[[Bamboo Technology |wood}}]] -, vikings, amazon warriors, a guy who kills himself with snakes as his main form of attack, and, oh, yes, jetpack vikings. The dinosaurs have upgrades ranging from adding blades onto their tusks to drugging them up so that they don't take damage until the high wears off. Attempts to describe any battles that occur in this game- which is, surprisingly, subpar even ''with'' all this- are entertaining, to say the least. "Then his submarine dinosaur sank my flamethrower ship!"
* The ''Oneechanbara'' stars Aya, a Japanese girl who is decked out in a cowboy hat and bikini who uses a katana to fight zombies commanded by her evil half-sister who killed her father. Add to this the fact that part of the gameplay involves her getting soaked in blood (which triggers an [[Unstoppable Rage]]) and there's an unlockable costume that is exactly the same of the original - but made of black leather. And a red scarf.
** In sequels, her [[Cute Bruiser]] [[Little Miss Badass]] half-sister makes a [[Heel Face Turn]] and joins up with her, after Aya rescues her from another, more legitimately evil [[Big Bad]]. Said sister fights in a [[Joshikousei|seifuku]], and uses a combination of a katana and throws powerful enough to dismember zombies. It's probably easier to name the things in the series that ''don't'' run on this or the standard [[Rule of Cool]].
* ''[[Star Fox Adventures (Video Game)|Star Fox Adventures]]'' is: [[Furry Fandom|Furries]] save magical talking dinosaurs [[In Space|IN SPACE!]]
* ''[[Dino Crisis]]'' 2 and 3. The former with a giganatosaurus as the [[Big Bad]] that nearly sets of a pre-historic nuclear holocaust, farting, poisonous Oviraptors, and Black Ops teenagers with rifles that shoot exploding disc saws. The latter has mutant, hammer-headed velociraptors that can turn invisible and shoot electricity bolts at you, lavaral, insectoid Giganotosauruses, that, if allowed to mature, turn into two-headed, armored Giganotosauruses, zombie T-Rexes, spiky Spinosaur things that shoot acid, and space marines. If you don't think that's cool, '''NOTHING IS.'''
* The PC strategy game Paraworld somehow incorporated dinosaurs, ninjas, and steampunk into the same game and the same units. One example would be the Vikings-riding-a-triceratops-with-a-ballista-mounted-on-it unit. It's too bad the game wasn't particularly well-executed, for all that.
* Certain types of enemies in ''[[Brave Fencer Musashi (Video Game)|Brave Fencer Musashi]]'' are called Vambees; part vampire, part zombie.
** The sequel ''[[Musashi Samurai Legend (Video Game)|Musashi: Samurai Legend]]'' gives us the Ninjaroid enemies; ninja androids.
** In fact, both games involve using a [[Dual -Wielding|duel wielding]] [[Miyamoto Musashi|samurai]] to [[Save the Princess|save a princess.]]
* Oh, ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. As of ''Brawl'', the roster includes two [[Super Mario Bros.|fire-throwing plumbers]], [[EarthboundEarthBound|two]] [[Mother 3 (Video Game)|psychic]] children, a [[YoshisYoshi's Island (Video Game)|dinosaur that can turn into a dragon]], a [[Super Mario Bros.|turtle-dragon]], [[Donkey Kong Country|two monkeys]] (well, all right, a monkey with a jetpack who shoots his enemies with peanuts and a bongo-playing ''ape'' wearing a tie), a [[Kirby|penguin with a sledgehammer]], a robot with laser eyes, a [[Kid Icarus|warrior angel]] with [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] and a [[Dual -Wielding]] [[Swiss Army Weapon]], some [[Star Fox (Video Gameseries)|furry space mercenaries who drive tanks]], a [[Samus Is a Girl|female]] [[Metroid|space mercenary in a battlesuit]], [[F -Zero|a race car driver/bounty hunter]], a [[Super Mario Bros.|princess who fights with an umbrella]], a [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|magic princess/ninja]] (who, in her own series, has a magic princess pirate counterpart), an [[Pikmin|astronaut leading flower aliens]], a [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|badass elf-looking chap with loads of weapons, an evil wizard/kickboxer, a smaller cartoon version of said badass elf]], a [[Lethal Joke Character|2-D stick figure guy]], an [[Extreme Omnivore]] [[Kirby|pink puffball]], a [[Kirby|blue ninja/Batman/Vader puffball]], a [[Pokémon|singing, self-deflating puffball with hypnosis powers]], an [[Pokémon|electric mouse]], a [[Pokémon|canine]] [[Bruce Lee Clone]] with aura powers, a [[Pokémon|dinosaur plant]], a [[Pokémon|turtle with ninja moves]] (teenage status unconfirmed), a [[Pokémon|flying, fire-breathing, dragon-like lizard]], a [[Pokémon|trainer of the above three]], [[Ice Climber|a pair of mallet-wielding eskimo children]], a [[Fire Emblem|blue-haired Japanese speaking swordsman prince, a blue-haired mercenary with a huge sword]], an [[Wario Ware (Video Game)|obese, flatulent Italian man]] with an infinite supply of edible motorcycles and a superhero alter-ego, a [[Sonic the Hedgehog|blue speedy hedgehog]] and a [[Painting the Fourth Wall|fourth-wall-painting]] [[Metal Gear Solid|spy assassin clone]]. And the [[Big Bad]] is a [[Power Glows|glowing]] Space Angel, controlling a giant sentient [[White Gloves|glove]] that happens to be ''[[Our Gods Are Different|God]]''. And that's not even getting into the assistant characters.
** That's not counting the drops from previous rosters, including a baby version of the [[Pokémon|lightning shooting mouse]], the [[Pokémon|psychic cat-kangaroo-rat]] [[Glass Cannon]], and so on.
* Not too long ago, there was a low-budget game that would have been completely forgettable if it hadn't been titled ''Ninjabread Man''.
* Shadow Pirates in ''[[Metroid Prime]]''. In addition to the baseline coolness of [[Space Pirates]], they turn invisible, drop from the ceiling, dodge missiles and fight with swords. That sounds like a ninja to me.
** Similarly, you have Phazon. [[Power Glows|Glowing]] [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil|evil]] [[Applied Phlebotinum|sentient goop capable of]] [[The Corruption|corrupting]], [[Psycho Serum|mutating]] and [[Hive Mind|taking over]] creatures of all kinds, staple of some [[Mook Maker|alternate biochemistry, capable of spawning enemies]], being an enemy if liquid, [[Insurmountable Waist High Fence|nigh-indestructible]] (without proper weaponry), and also [[Powered Byby a Forsaken Child|your suit and body run on it]]. Run, Samus. Very fast.
** We also have Ridley, who is a dragon space pirate. Who then is turned into a cyborg. Who then becomes undead and mutated. Who is also technically an alien. And who can turn invisible in ''[[Super Metroid]]''. So, that's an Mutated Zombie Cyborg Alien Dragon Ninja Space Pirate. Or, in other words, a literal [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]].
* The various [[Expansion Pack|Expansion Packs]] of ''[[The Sims]] 2'' introduce a new paranormal creature each, which can frequently be combined. In order of release: [[Half -Human Hybrid|half-alien hybrids]], zombies, vampires, robots, werewolves, [[Plant Aliens|Plantsims]], Bigfoot, Genies ([[NPC|NPCs]], unfortunately) and witches.
** ''[[The Sims]] 3'' unfortunately contains none of that (yet), but does feature playable ghosts and mummies in the expansion. (Ghosts exist in ''every'' version of ''[[The Sims]]'', but not until ''The Sims 3'' are they playable.)
** There are [[The Princess Bride (Filmfilm)|Dread Pirate]] and [[Space Pirate]] jobs in ''Sims 2'', and you can learn teleport ninjutsu from a [[Ninja]] as well as don the outfit of one. So if it is possible for a Servo to die and be resurrected, you actually ''can'' have a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]].
*** Actually, ghosts were playable in the console version of The Sims 2.
** There is even a user-made challenge for ''The Sims 2'' that revolves around making a half-alien sim into a zombie-vampire-werewolf-plantsim-witch/warlock.
** ''[[The Sims 3]]'' now has robots, vampires and imaginary friends as well. The most complex hybrid currently possible involves making a vampire and an imaginary friend have a baby with the qualities of both, and then making that offspring a ghost.
* ''[[Earthworm Jim (Videovideo Gamegame)|Earthworm Jim]]''. A worm in a super-suit fights a cat that rules [[Ironic Hell]], an insane crow, a fire-breathing steak named Flamin' Yawn, and the [[Meaningful Name|aptly named]] Professor [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Monkeys|Monkey-For-A-Head]].
** There's also [[Overly Long Name|Evil Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-Filled, Malformed Slug-For-A-Butt]].
* The Protoss Dark Templar from ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'' are psionic alien ninja. [[Recycled in Space|With spaceships]]. And cyborgs. Who fight giant bugs.
** Also when they die their [[Applied Phlebotinum|souls can be put into machines]] to creat Dragoons or Stalkers. Yeah.
* Some of Haseo's weapons in [[.hack|.hack//GU]] falls under this: [[BFS|giant swords with]] [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw teeth]], Big Scythes with [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw teeth]], with the blade flipping out to make it a chainsaw-glaive combo at times! It's a Scythe-Glaive-Chainsaw, woohoo!
* Captain Falcon of [[F-Zero]] fame is part racecar driver, part bounty hunter. It doesn't hurt that he actually IS [[Badass]].
** Then there's Bio Rex, a beer-drinking dinosaur racecar driver, and Billy, a money-obsessed [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Monkeys|chimpanzee]] racecar driver.
* ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' has Faris, a pirate, who can become a Ninja via one of the Fire Crystal's shards; there also exists a status effect called Zombie, so it's easy enough to make Faris a Ninja Pirate Zombie.
* Zelda is, by default, a magic princess. Versions of her have also been a ninja (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]''), a pirate (''[[The Legend of Zelda: theThe Wind Waker (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]''-''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass]]''), and a ghost who can possess suits of armor (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks]]''). Also, she looked pretty zombie-like when she was possessed by [[Big Bad|Ganondorf]] (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'').
** The Parella tribe from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' resemble a mix between a seahorse, a squid, a jellyfish, and coral.
*** The dungeon mini boss for the Sandship {{spoiler|and Sky Keep}} is a robot skeleton pirate.
* The FPS ''Darkwatch: Curse of the West'' puts you in the shoes of a vampire cowboy.
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' manages a few of these, the most notable definitely being the Lich King, a human-orc-ghost-zombie-shaman-paladin-death knight-necromancer-[[Physical God]]. Although admittedly he/they haven't been quite all of those at once. Lesser examples include the original death knights, orc warlock ghosts put into human bodies.
Line 83 ⟶ 86:
** Any Draenei who completes the Avast Ye, Admiral! quest is an Alien Pirate. Unfortunately, Draenei can't be ninjas.
*** Draenei players never roll need when they shouldn't? Since when?
*** A draenei death knight who completes the quest is an Alien Zombie Pirate. An orc rogue who does so is an Alien Pirate Ninja. (Yes, ''[[War CraftWarcraft]]'' [[Our Orcs Are Different|orcs are, in fact, different]].)
** Perhaps the penultimate example was Blizzard's response to a number of beta-testers complaining that a zone in ''Cataclysm'' was not "epic" enough. Blizzard promptly inserted Epicus Maximus, a flying shark with a [[Austin Powers|laser on it's head]] being ridden by a T-rex being ridden by an undead shredding a guitar that was also an axe.
*** [http://www.wowwiki.com/Epicus_Maximus The result] [[Rule of Cool|is every bit]] [[Beyond the Impossible|as awesome]] [[Meaningful Name|as its name implies]].
* Long-time antagonist Cervantes de Leon from the ''[[Soul Series]]'' is a [[EverythingsEverything's Deader Withwith Zombies|zombie]] [[Pirate]] [[Cutscene Power to Thethe Max|who can]] [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja|turn invisible (ninja),]] [[Our Ghosts Are Different|spawn ghosts]] [[Mind Over Matter|and levitate his weapons (telekinetic).]] [[Big Fancy Sword|He weilds part of the series' most important sword (BFS)]] [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|and]] [[Cool Gun|shoots superpowerful bullets]] [[Dual -Wielding|from his other sword,]] ([[Ironic Nickname|which is named 'Nirvana']], which probably belongs in this trope on its own.)
** There's also Ivy, his estranged white-haired daughter who is a busty scantily clad dominatrix alchemist countess who fights with a sword that turns into a whip.
** Yoshimitsu is a [[Robin Hood]] type suicidal Ninja, who's arm is powered by [[Steampunk|"gears"]]. In the Tekken game series, his successor appears to be fully "Cyborg-Ninja" created by Dr. B (Yoshimitsu's origin as a human may or may not have been verified in canon of either game series).
* The enemies in ''[[Dead Space (Franchiseseries)|Dead Space]]'' are Mutant Space Zombies.
** And there are Mutant Space Zombie Babies.
** Some of the weapons are also like this, such as the Ripper, which is essentially a Laser-guided Kinetic Buzzsaw Launcher.
* Auron, from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', is {{spoiler|a ghost-zombie/samurai. And if that's not enough, he is also either a magician or a demon, considering his power to kill things to death. Or [[Kill It Withwith Fire|with fire]].}}
* Bloodrayne anyone? Half-vampire fighting (with a chain gun, elbow blades and metal stiletto spikes) insectazoid swamp monsters, zombies, deformed werewolfy vampires, many types of Nazis (aside from normal Nazis - Magic Nazi, Mad Scientist Nazi, Indentical Psysically-linked Twin Nazis, Cyborg Nazi, Nazi Priest with pulpit that has machine guns attached, Fire Breathing Nazi, Ninja Nazi, Demonically Possessed Nazis, Double Agent Half-Vampire Tibetan Nazi) and a giant skeletal mega-vampire. Rayne also has slow-mo and "aura-vision".
* ''[[Pokémon]]'''s Garchomp gets honorable mention. Why? Because it's a [[Everything Is's Even Worse Withwith Sharks|shark]] crossed with a [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Dinosaurs|dinosaur]], [[Our Dragons Are Different|dragon]], and a ''[[Cool Plane|jet]]'' (With torpedoes on its head!). Unsurprisingly, it's considered a [[Game Breaker]].
** The ''franchise'' is wrought with these. There's Blastoise, the water jet cannon tortoise, Scyther, the human-sized mantis ninja raptor with ''[[Sinister Scythe|scythes]] for arms'', Ho-oh, the rainbow-forming phoenix, Exploud, the organ boombox hippo, Gliscor, the scorpion bat crab, Golurk, the clay-sculpted ghost-possessed [[Giant Mecha]], Chandelure, the fire-spewing soul-sucking chandelier, Vanilluxe, the sentient Siamese ice cream cone, Genesect, the resurrected prehistoric bipedal insect with a cannon on its back that it can use as a [[Jet Pack]], Vespiquen, a combination of a [[EverythingsEverything's Worse Withwith Bees|bee]] and a battleship with a touch of European royalty...
** Reuniclus is a psychic-powered homunculus [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Tardigrade |tardigrade]] amoeba shaped like a teddy bear surrounded by cytoplasm and organelle arms aligned to look like a meter for volume that it often uses to manipulate the speed of everything in its environment. Oh yeah, it's based on a fetus too.
** There's also Mewtwo. A genetically-altered humanoid cat with psychic powers that was created to be the ultimate Pokemon. [[Gone Horribly Right|It killed its creators shortly after it was born and lacks any compassion while in battle.]]
** ''Black / White'' gives us Kyurem, a frozen [[Our Zombies Are Different|zombie dragon]]....from SPACE!
** Giratina falls under this. It's an inter-dimensional ghost-dragon that's essentially an [[Expy]] of [[HPH.P. Lovecraft|Yog-Sothoth]].
** Lugia. A giant bird-dragon monster? [[Rule of Cool|Awesome!]]
*** Shadow Lugia takes this [[Up to Eleven]] what with it being an [[Brainwashed and Crazy|evil version of Lugia with a darker more feral appearance.]]
* Many people forget that the subtitle for the old Arcade and [[SNES]] game ''Joe & Mac'' is "Caveman Ninja".
* The appropriately-titled ''Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman'' for the [[PS 1]] featured a [[Samurai Cowboy]], who fights ninjas and [[Humongous Mecha]].
* ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'', aside from having featured every other [[Super Robot]] that may or may not have been mentioned on this page, adds many more in its own [[Original Generation]]. Take RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh, the Ancient Chinese [[Transforming Mecha|Transforming]] [[Our Dragons Are Different|Dragon-Tiger]] [[Super Robot|Super Robots]]. And then there's Wodan Ymir, the [[Evil Twin|Evil]] [[Alternate Universe]] [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|Undead]] [[Hollywood Cyborg|Robot]] [[Cloning Blues|Clone]] of a [[McNinja|German Samurai]] in a [[Humongous Mecha|Giant Robot]].
* The hero of ''[[Rocket Knight Adventures]]'' is an opossum who wears a jetpack and a suit of armor, and wields a sword that can shoot [[Razor Wind|beams of energy]]. His [[Evil Counterpart]], Axle Gear, has all of that plus a possum-shaped [[Humongous Mecha|mecha]].
* When ''[[Gaia Online]]'' was still developing its MMO, ''zOMG!'', this was mentioned as a selling point of the ring system: players can mix and match different abilities. Equipping a specific set of four rings on one hand results in a Ring Set that provides a status buff. The sets have labels such as Athlete, Chef, Demon... and yes, even Ninja and Pirate. And yes, you '''can''' have two ring sets active at once.
* ''[[Tribes: Vengeance]]'': the assassin Mercury is a Cybrid... an actual ZOMBIE CYBORG NINJA... who even proves this by getting shot in the face and still being able to fight. Also, he has a jetpack and access to the usual insane menagerie/armoury of Tribes weaponry.
* The bosses of ''[[Persona 4]]'' probably count. To put it simply the most mundane one is a cyborg/detective/mad scientist with toy lasers and a jet pack (oh and a pimpin' police hat).
** We've also got a ninja man-frog, a dominatrix wearing a bright yellow Klan hood being held up by three Japanese schoolgirls, a giant phoenix who's also a princess, a giant [[Flamboyant Gay|homosexual]] who attacks with two golden male symbols, a nulticolored stripper with a satellite dish for a head, a colossal nihilistic teddy bear, a fetus that can turn itself into an old-school game character, the father of all [[New Age Retro Hippie|New Age Retro Hippies]], and last but not least, a disco eyeball that shoots frickin' laser beams. Oh, and we've got {{spoiler|the Japanese goddess of death,}} but that kinda pales in comparison.
* The unlockable Nazi Zombies mode in ''[[Call of Duty]]: World at War'' consists of you and up to three friends fending off hordes of [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Nazi zombies]]. And you can fight them off with a [[Ray Gun]], chain-lightning-style Wunderwaffen, or, in the latest downloadable map, monkey bombs. Yes, exploding monkey toys.
* The first boss of ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy]]'', in appropriately over-the-top fashion, is a titanic, fire-breathing ''[[Punch -Out!!|Mike Tyson]]''.
** And shortly after him, you come face-to-face with Mecha Birdo. Half [[Super Mario|Birdo]], half ''[[Ikaruga]]'' boss. Who spits climbable egg-shaped warheads at you, attacks with swarms of Shy Guys, and shoots ''eye lasers'' at you.
** A later boss: Kraidgief. Half [[Metroid|Kraid]], half [[Street Fighter|Zangief]]. Who fires Blankas and Hadokens at you. And can do a spinning piledriver that will kill you like [[Fist of the North Star|Kenshiro]] if you let him get his hands on you.
Line 123 ⟶ 126:
* Figaro Castle of ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' is a ''[[Steampunk]] land-sub castle''.
** And the Phantom Train. An ''undead train''. That you can [[Beyond the Impossible|SUPLEX!]]
* {{spoiler|Barthandelus}} from ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' is a Ninja Pope that transforms into a [[Humongous Mecha]] with a built-in [[Ominous Latin Chanting]] choir by fusing with a robot owl that can turn into a [[Cool Airship]].
* ''[[Okami]]'' has Lechku and Nechku, a pair of [[Creepy Twins|twin]] demonic [[Clockwork Creature|clockwork]] [[Time Master|time-controlling]] [[High -Class Glass|gentlemen]] [[Owl Be Damned|owls]]. With [[Nice Hat|Nice Hats]].
** After you beat the final boss, you {{spoiler|fly to the Celestial Plain in a 200-year old bishounen's spaceship. The bishounen is from the moon.}}
*** Oh, you think that's crazy? Waka is a: French-speaking, Japanese, bishounen from the moon who dual wields a laser sword and a katana (or other similar type of sword), he's a prophet, and he owns a spaceship.
* Gaul in [[Spyro the Dragon|The Legend of Spyro]] is, in short, a [[Dual -Wielding]] spellcaster baboon with a [[Eye Beams|laser eye]]. And he steals all your mana before you fight him. No wonder he's the ape king. Love or hate the series, you have to admit that's just ''awesome''.
* ''[[Robot Dinosaurs That Shoot Beams When They Roar]]''.
* ''[[City of Heroes]]'' can be described as "anything goes." There are demon-worshipping gangs, dark magic gangs, cyborg zombies, psychic robots, living blobs of algae, mutated homeless cultists with alien weaponry, genetically engineered facist werewolves and vampires, cybernetically enhanced anarchists, steampunk soldiers led by a 200 year old [[Magnificent Bastard]], and an [[Animal Wrongs Group]] made of living plants and rocks. And that's only some of the ''hero'' side.
Line 138 ⟶ 141:
* [[The Battle for Wesnoth]] is by and large avoids this trope by keeping it relatively accurate in depicting Medieval Fantasy themes, but then came the [[Our Dragons Are Different|Drakes]]. The Drakes can simply be described as '''Magical Samurai Dragon Blacksmiths''' that had '''Swimming Lizards Wielding Spears and Magic''' for allies.
* The MMORPG ''Guild Wars'' expansion Eye of the North introduced the Norn, who are Russian Amazon Viking Bear-people. Even better, they will be a playable race in ''Guild Wars 2''.
* The ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Animation)|Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' videogame plays with this trope in the title: ''Zombie Ninja Pro-Am''. There don't appear to be any zombies or ninjas involved in the actual game (apart from one mummy), although robot turkeys, psychotic shifter wrenches, and machine-gun toting tulips do appear in various stages.
** Those are actually characters from the show. "Tulip Sniper" who uses a machine gun, Turkatron who is somehow related to the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future, and the giant wrenches who abducted Dusty Gazongas. Also, you left out the name "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", as they are in no way water-related, they're not teens, they don't fight hunger (anymore), and they've ceased to be a force of anything except hilarity/stupidity.
* The [[Shoot 'Em Up]] ''Revenge of the Mutant Camels''.
* The ''[[House of the Dead]]'' series features midget zombie ninjas, ninja monkey zombies, midget cyborg ninjas, ninja zombies with stealth camouflage etc. And the Magician is a Cyborg Dragon Zombie.
* [[Monkey Island]] gives us LeChuck, who's been a Ghost, Zombie, Demon, and giant statue, did I mention he's a pirate? And in the latest game, he's been turned into a ''human''.
** The 4th game (before he was a giant statue) had him shifting between his previous three incarnations uncontrollably. He was actually referred to as "the Demon Zombie Ghost Pirate LeChuck".
** In the climactic battle of the game ''[[Escape Fromfrom Monkey Island]]'', {{spoiler|you control a Talking [[I Know Karate|Kung-Fu]] [[Pirate]] [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Monkeys|Monkey]] [[Humongous Mecha]]. And you fight a statue possessed by a [[Night of the Living Mooks|Demon Zombie Ghost Pirate]] From Heck.}}
* ''[[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Darkstalkers]]''. A fighting game in 1994 by Capcom? Check. [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink|Cast consists of monsters]]? Check. One of the characters is a [[Catgirl]] who fights [[Stripperiffic|entirely nude]]? Check. Another character is an Australian zombie that plays heavy metal and blows up dinosaurs with the power of rock-and-roll named Lord Raptor? Check.
** A [[Catgirl]] ''nun'' who fights entirely nude...
* In ''[[ADOM]]'', one unique monster is an undead dwarven chaos berserker.
* ''[[Castle Crashers (Video Game)|Castle Crashers]]''! {{spoiler|As you make your way across the ocean of peril, and salt water, you're ambushed by Ninja Pirates.}}
* ''[[Wet]]'' is seemingly the result of this trope in action -- apparently, someone decided that a video game that combines the gunplay and acrobatics of 80s-90s Hong Kong action films with the aesthetics of the grindhouse films and drive-in B movies of the 70s would be completely awesome.
* ''[[Sakura Taisen]]'' features [[Takarazuka|Takarazuka actresses]] with [[Magical Girl|magical powers]] piloting [[Steampunk|steam-powered]] [[Humongous Mecha|mechas]] to fight [[Demonic Invaders|demons]]. And it's also [[Dating Sim]].
** The fifth (and to date, final) game takes it to another level, with one of the girls also being a half-Japanese/half-American Samurai Cowgirl [[Meido|Maid]]. With a [[Split Personality]].
* One of the late-game random enemy encounters in ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' is the Dinozombie. An undead, [[Dem Bones|skeletal]] dinosaur. Complete with will o' wisps. Oh, and Dinozombies can ''[[Dinosaurs Are Dragons|breathe fire]]''.
* I've read through here about 5 times, and I still can't find ''[[Castlevania]]''... Why? Of the top of my head, there's a [[Whip It Good|whip using]] barbarian fighting [[Big Bad|Dracula]], now lord of evil with {{[[Death}}]] himself at his beck and call, every monster known to greek mythology and the usual hosts of Frankensteins and Zombies. Sequels put you in the hands of the aformentiond lord of darkness' son, [[Sdrawkcab Name|Alucard]], the aformentioned lord of darkness' reincarnation, Soma(Who meats [[Sdrawkcab Name|Alucard]] posing as the Japanese secret agent, Genya {{[[Engrish |Arikado}}]].) These ones have [[Ninja Maid|Ninja Maids.]] The 3D ones give you another [[Whip It Good|whip-using]] barbarian, a [[Magical Girl|Magic School Girl]] and a Werewolf. The [[Nintendo DS|DS]] entries give you the aformentioned reincanation, another [[Whip It Good|Barbarian]], another [[Magical Girl]]Magic School Girl and [[Sexy Backless Outfit|Sha]][[Emotionless Girl|no]][[Fetish Fuel|ah]].
* The ''[[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mega Man]]'' franchise, full stop. Its [[Loads and Loads of Characters|myriads of mechanoids]] are often a combination of a robot and something else. The classic series alone has a robot ninja ''and'' a robot pirate, as separate boss characters. Also a robot vampire and his robot zombie [[Mooks]]. Additional examples include an Egyptian Pharaoh Robot, a Skeleton Robot, a King Robot, a UFO Robot, a Japanese Demon Robot, and two instances of Vehicle Transformer Robots, just to name a few.
** The second ''[[Mega Man Star Force]]'' game stretches this to its limits; depending on what game you choose, you can become a sentient waveform ninja, knight, or ''dinosaur''. And you can also temporarily turn into a combination of two of the three - or, depending on your waveband Brothers, a combination of ''all three''. There were also plans to include a pirate tribe, but unfortunately, uh, they didn't make it.
*** And these aren't just normal ninjas, dinosaurs or knights. Saurians are dinosaurs ''on fire'', Zerkers are ''electric'' knights, and Ninjas are, well... ninjas with a plant motif.
** Mega Man himself fits perfectly. He's a robot who shoots plasma, scissors, electricity, fire, boomerangs, more fire (atomic, no less!), bombs, more bombs (crash bombs, no less!), tornadoes, more tornadoes, robotic bees, shurikens, diamonds, miniature stars, bubbles made of lead, lasers, black holes, tomahawk hatchets, magnets, and more. His dog also turns into a jetpack, a surfboard, a submarine, a spacecraft, a motorcycle, or a spring..
** Aforementioned Ninja Robot, according to his official game backstory, is not only possibly alien in nature, but rides a robotic frog . . . yes, this makes Shadow Man a ''Robotic Frog-Riding Alien Ninja Robot'', whether the frog is also alien is unknown.
*** Speaking of aliens in the Mega Man series, the Robot Masters of Mega Man V for the Gameboy are all confirmed alien in origin, this gives us such combinations as Venus the Alien Anthropomorphic Crab Robot, and Pluto the Alien [[Were Cat|Werecat]] Robot.
* ''[[Ninja Baseball Bat Man]]'' features a group of 4 robot ninjas dressed in baseball gear, and fighting with baseball bats. Not only that, but most of the enemies are baseball related. From fighting baseballs, baseballl gloves, pumpkins wielding bats, baseball bats wielding bats, playing cards, & dogs carrying Tommy guns. And that's not the tip of the whackiness in this game.
* ''[[RunescapeRuneScape]]'' has a lot of these. Among other things, a Zombie Pirate Surgeon, Ninja Monkeys, etc.
* ''[[Shadow Hearts]]: Covenant'''s Joachim Valentine is a [[Hard Gay]] [[Large Ham]] [[Our Vampires Are Different|Vampire]] wrestler who thinks he's a superhero and an [[Improbable Weapon User]]. He's also one of the party members.
* ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' has a [[Drunken Master|drunk,]] Black Scottish Cyclops that's fond of [[Mad Bomber|explosives]].
* Hakumen from ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'' is a robot ghost samurai who may qualify for {{spoiler|zombie because of his near-death as Jin}}.
* ''OMG Pirates!'' is a popular game for the iPhone, where you play a ninja taking revenge on the pirates who destroyed his [[Doomed Hometown|village]]. The pirates use various forms of anachronistic (and [[Rule of Cool|awesome]]) piratey tech such as a rum-powered [[Jet Pack|jetpack]]/[[Kill It Withwith Fire|flamethrower]].
* ''[[Alien Soldier]]'' has its fair share of these, but the one that stands out most is "[[Word Salad Title|Wolfgunblood]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20140822124804/http://www.bogleech.com/aliensoldier/as-horseman.gif Garopa]". It's a cyborg cowboy wolf with a [[Gatling Good|machine-gun]] [[Arm Cannon]], riding a [[Mechanical Horse]].
* '''[[Scribblenauts|I FUCKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES.]]'''
** Also quite possible to do in Super Scribblenauts's new Adjective addition: "[[The Cameo|Piratic Zombified Robotic Ninja]]".
*** So in this case it's a [[Literal Metaphor]]?
* Quite a few bosses in ''[[Alundra 2: (VideoA Game)New Legend Begins|Alundra 2]]''. It has such things as: a giant firebreathing cyborg cat, cyborg minotaur, giant robot spider, huge crocodile with a giant mushroom growing on it's back, orange shark with vacuum-powers, statues based on egyptian gods with laser eyes, heart of a robot whale which has huge drill on it's snout, anthropomorphic tiger which can turn itself invicible, cyborg mantis with a monocle, purple cyborg pirate gorilla and lastly a robot warlock with dattachable head.
* [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Two Words]]: [[Nazi Zombies|Nazi. Zombies.]]
* [[Robot Unicorn Attack]]: It's a robot, and it's a unicorn! And it has rainbows! And fairies, and stars, and dolphins... it's also one of the most addictive flash games you can play.
* "[[Billy vs. SNAKEMAN]]" features a village<ref>The in-game equivalent of a clan</ref>-level subgame, entitled Zombjas.
** It's worth discussing in some detail how you go about starting Zombjas: Your village can have, for the purposes of maintaining headcount and collecting resources, Biological Robot versions of Ninjas, call Nonjas. The Village Leader can choose to inject a Nonja, with unleashes a Zombja horde, which the village then fights off. In other words, the minigame is started when '''a Robot Ninja becomes a Zombie Ninja'''. You heard that right: '''a Robot Ninja becomes a Zombie Ninja''' in order for this minigame to happen. All that's missing is a Pirate element, and you'd have the quadfecta[?].
** High-end PCs are [[Naruto|Ninjas]], [[Bleach|Soul Reapers]], [[Death Note (Manga)|Kiras]], [[Kaiju]], Desert Scavengers, Interdimentional Police Officers, Robot War Reenactors, Pizza Delivery Boys, ''and'' [[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan|Cheer Brigade Leaders]].
* ''[[Trauma Center|Trauma Team]]'' has in its main cast a [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja|ninja]] [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Princesses|princess]] -- well, technically just the heir to a ninja clan, rather than a "true" princess, but it works out to the same thing -- endoscopic surgeon.
* One of the Halloween event mice appearing in ''[[Mousehunt]]'', a collecting game on Facebook, is a "zombot unipire", apparently created purely to invoke this trope. Also, to give their artist the rare opportunity to draw a fanged corpse-faced cyborg mouse with a spiral horn on its forehead.
* Guess who are the main stars in the Zombie mode of [[Call of Duty]]: Black Ops? John F Kennedy, Robert Mcnamara, Richard Nixon and Fidel Castro? You heard that right, JFK, Mcnamara, Nixon and Castro fighting zombies!
Line 182 ⟶ 185:
* ''[[Donkey Kong Country|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' has a rollercoaster level inwhich you are persued by a pirate crocodile skeleton ghost.
* Plants Vs. Zombies have a couple of these in the enemies: The [[Big Bad]] is a zombie who pilots a giant robot that shoots fire and ice, and throws RVs; there's a zombie dolphin trainer who leaps over your plants (well, most of them anyway) with an undead dolphin, a zombie football player, a zombie Michael Jackson impersonator that summons backup dancers, a zombie suicide bomber mental patient, a zombie businessman whose [[Berserk Button]] is having his newspaper destroyed (when he's so close to finishing his Sudoku), and others.
* Gruntilda Winkybunion of the [[Banjo-Kazooie]] series seems to fall deeper into this trope with each subsequent game. In ''Banjo-Tooie'' she turns into a Zombie Witch, in ''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge'' she appears as a Robot Ghost Witch, and in ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', not only is Gruntilda now a zombie head in a robot body, but during the final battle attacks the heroes on a pirate ship, thus making her a Pirate Zombie Robot Witch.
** Grunty has a number of more mundane titles she can add to her name as well, including Captain (Rusty Bucket Bay), CEO (Grunty Industries), Aviator (Banjo Pilot), and Mechanic (Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts).
* The [[Alone in Thethe Dark]] series seems to love this trope. The 1st game has a pirate zombie as a boss. The 2nd game has mobster pirate zombies as your enemies, and a ninja mobster pirate zombie as a boss. The 3rd game has cowboy zombies as your enemies, and a ninja cowboy zombie as a boss.
* ''[[Golden Sun]]'' makes this possible with class and equipment combinations, including a Ninja class tree and Ninja Gear armor.
** In ''Dark Dawn'', one of your player characters is the Fire Adept pirate prince Eoleo. He can access the Ninja class and/or equip Ninja Gear. If you go the Ninja Gear route and leave him in his default class, he can also use his powers to shoot [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]. Who needs plot or [[Character Development]] when you can have a psychic ninja pirate prince who shoots laser beams?
*** To say nothing of Sveta, who is a ''kung-fu Wind Adept werewolf princess'' by storyline alone, and has an exclusive Gladiator class tree. That's right, a pit-fighting kung-fu psychic werewolf princess with electric powers. And she's [[Moe]], too.
* The player character of ''[[Blood]]'', Caleb, is an ageless zombie cowboy. His partners in the second game include a zombie former frat girl, a zombie former circus freak and another zombie cowboy-''[[Gender Bender|turned-woman]] in medieval armor with a cajun accent''.
* Combine this trope with [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Princesses]] and you get {{[[media|:venn_3705.jpg| this helpful illustration}}]].
* [[Nin 2 Jump]] takes this trope to the extreme: all of the enemies are ninjas crossed with a number of other things.
* ''[[Bug (Video Game)|Bug!]]!'' has the first boss, a snail. Or should I say, helicopter-bomber-cowboy snail- it flies with a rotor and drops bombs from its shell. And if Bug is too far away while it's on the ground, it takes out a cowboy hat and two guns, and starts firing at Bug! (ironically, that move makes it a sitting duck)
* As the recurring lab assistant enemies are revealed to be robots in ''[[Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped]]'', you realize you are playing a game with robot knights, robot wizards, robot pirates, robot greasers etc. in it.
* The ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series is extremely prone to this.
** One notable example is the [[Sonic Riders|Babylon Rogues]], consisting of Jet the Hawk, Wave the Swallow, and Storm the Albatross. Apparently they're legendary bird genie thieves {{spoiler|[[Recycled in Space|FROM SPACE!]]}} And they race on Extreme Gear, which in its most common form is, essentially, hoverboards.
** We also have Captain Whisker from ''[[Sonic Rush Series (Video Game)|Sonic Rush Series]] Adventure'', who is a robot pirate.
* The number one bestselling game on Impulse right now is ''Space Pirates and Zombies''. I think its name is largely responsible.
* In ''[[Mortal Kombat 9 (Video Game)|Mortal Kombat 9]]'' {{spoiler|Cyber Sub Zero}} is a Ninja Robot (one of many others in the game), and when he is {{spoiler|resurrected by Quan-Chi as his servant along with most of the other good guys}} he becomes a Ninja Zombie Robot
* ''[[The Ninja Warriors]]'' and its remake ''[[The Ninja Warriors Again]]'' have you play as robotic ninjas overthrowing an evil government. One of the bosses in the remake is a [[Killer Robot|robot]] [[Samurai]] with a [[Chainsaw Good|CHAINSAW]].
* The parody RPG ''Cthulhu Saves The World'' features a "were-zompire" named Molly in its "Cthulhu's Angels" bonus mode.
** A tombstone recounts the tragic tale of "Umiko the Ninja Pirate", killed by a robot zombie.
* ''[[Etrian Odyssey (Video Game)|Etrian Odyssey]] III'' has Buccaneers (Pirates in the Japanese version) and Ninjas. Thanks to the subclass system, it's possible to eventually have a literal pirate-ninja or ninja-pirate. Furthermore, roughly halfway through the game, you can unlock the Yggdroid (Android in the Japanese version) class, allowing you to make robot-pirates or robot-ninja.
* ''Arkista's Ring'' pits an Elf [[Action Girl]] against an evil Shogun and his ninja minions.
* The RPG ''Mardek'', which runs on Flash, has a boss which is a zombie cyborg dragon.
* The [[Big Bad]] and final boss of ''[[Wonder Boy in Monster Land (Video Game)|Wonder Boy in Monster Land]]'' is an alien robot dragon.
* While the [[Casual Video Game]] ''Jojo's Fashion Show'' and ''Jojo's Fashion Show 2'' doesn't have actual fantasy creatures, some styles included are pirate gypsy and flamenco punk. The pirate gypsy one ends up coming off more like [[Steampunk]], though.
* ''[[No More Heroes]]'' has several of these, such as Shinobu, the afro ninja schoolgirl.
* Pandora's Guardian, one of the bosses in [[God of War (Video Gameseries)|God of War]], a giant, armored, demonic, fire-breathing zombie minotaur.
* Several champs in ''[[League of Legends]]'' might qualify, but the best example is probably Urgot. He's a Robot Zombie, and has a [[Giant Enemy Crab]] skin to boot. But what really puts him over the top is that gameplay-wise, he was initially designed as a ranged-DPS-mage-tank hybrid. The developers and players alike didn't quite know what to do with him at first.
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]'', your character has the soul of a Dragon. This person could also be a thief, fighter or mage or some combination of the three, the champion of several god/demon beings simultaneously, vampire or werewolf (but not both, sadly) and one of nine races including a Half-Elf, an Orc or a Lizard/Cat Person.
* It is perfectly possible to end up as a blaster-toting Goblin Lich in [[Might and Magic]] VII.
* In ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', Cerberus has telekinetic cyborg ninjas.
** And Shepard, an undead cyborg (possibly) telekinetic [[Space Marine]].
* [[Artix Entertainment]] Brings us the Dracowerepyre, which is [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Vampire Werewolf Dragon]]
* ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'' has Captain Fishook, a ghost pirate shark.
