Line 10:
* This trope is named for one of the familiars in ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]''. Familiar was named for a [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]].
* ''[[
* Time Gentlemen, Please! is a game about a pair of time-travelers fighting Robot Nazi [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs|Dinosaurs]].
* ''[[Turok (series)|Turok]]'' has you playing as a ''Dimension hopping Native American who kills [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs|Dinosaurs]], Cyborgs, Zombies and Aliens with [[More Dakka|increasingly]] over compensatory, bizarre and incredibly [[No Kill Like Overkill|over-powered]] [[BFG|guns]].''
Line 55:
* 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]] [[
** 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.
Line 175:
* "[[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|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]] [[Everything's Better with 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.
