Line 157:
* Krystal from ''[[Wild 9]]''
* Dixie Kong from the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (video game)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' games.
* [[Shantae]] from the game of the same name, her hair being her primary weapon. Appropriately, most of her offensive [[Power Ups]] are hair care products, like shampoo, conditioner, and hairspray.
* Millia Rage of ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' has this in spades, able to move and shape her hair however she pleases. Forming it into various stabbing implements is just the tip of the iceberg.
* ''[[Rocky Rodent]]'', a fairly mediocre SNES game where the main character was a [[Funny Animal]] of some sort with a mohawk that could slice and even be thrown as a boomerang. Various powerups gave you different hairstyles with different powers.
Line 183:
* K'Thonya from ''[[Earthsong]]'' has the power to control metal with her mind. Since her race's hair contains traces of metal, she can manipulate her hair, as well. Her race is said to have inspired the myth of Gorgons on Earth.
* Noventia from ''[[Flipside]]'' has long, prehensile hair. Also, Suspiria has hair that, if not exactly prehensile, is enchanted to change styles with her mood, and goes completely mad when she uses magic.

* Mistress Stress from ''[[Yamara]]'' has her [http://www.yamara.com/yamara/rfw/rfw03.html Stress' Sunblocking Hairy Cantrip]. Repeated use has some... side effects.
Line 212:
* The fish head and hair monsters made by Dr Barber in ''[[The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack]]'' episode "Fish Heads".
* [[Ben 10]] minor villain Frightwig (of the Circus Freaks) has prehensile hair with metal weights at the end of each "tentacle" which she uses to bludgeon opponents.
* From the ''[[Rick and Morty]]'' episode "Wet Kuat Amortican Summer", Rick has put an implant in Summer's ponytail that lets her use it that way; it requires an activation phrase for her to do so, which is "I don't give my grandpa enough credit."
