* The ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' series features dopplegangers and other shapeshifters who like to impersonate other characters, but all of them shift into their normal forms when attacking, thus disqualifying some interesting scenes from quite exemplifying this trope. The closest to actually qualifying are the random dopplegangers that attack you in the Candlekeep catacombs that appear in the form of familiar minor characters and speak lines that don't actually make sense for those characters but are still related to what they might actually say; the greater dopplegangers near the end of the level try to convince you that it's all been an illusion and you've actually been killing the people that the dopplegangers looked like, but they stop pretending immediately if you choose to fight them. ''Throne of Bhaal'' also has a similar scene where some wraiths have a go at [[Break Them by Talking|Breaking You by Talking]] in the form of lost loved ones, but they too do it only ''before'' the battle is joined, not during it. |

* The Holoprojection droid PROXY in ''[[Star Wars]] [[The Force Unleashed]]'' uses it to his advantage several times. Going against Vader as Obi-Wan Kenobi or against Boba Fett as his father Jango does not guarantee him victory, but ''does'' confuse his opponent for a few precious seconds. |

** In the Wii/[[PlayStation 2]]/PSP version of the first game, Darth Phobos briefly adopts the appearance of Juno Eclipse to lure Galen into letting his guard down at the start of the fight. After you defeat her, she tries it again to stop you from killing her. It doesn't work. |
