* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'': The kobold oracle has so far been 100% accurate, even to the point of setting up arrangements in advance for allied clerics to teleport in and raise him from the dead minutes after his murder. The oracle has no fourth wall either and erases the minds of everyone after leaving his valley except the specific prophecy they ask for. He'll make snarky comments on the events to come as well as talk directly to the audience. When he's really snarky he'll give the most cryptic answer he can to screw with the audience.

* Due to all the many, many ways to see the future in ''[[Homestuck]]'', and the massive case of [[You Can't Fight Fate]] the series runs on, this trope is in full effect. The only exceptions are Terezi's prophecies, which are a case of [[Self-Defeating Prophecy|Self
