In some action games, there are many different kinds of [[Mook|Mooks]]s and you're often too absorbed into the action to notice you meet a certain type for the first time. So if the developers really want to make sure you notice them and don't forget them, what should they do? Well, make a special presentation for each one of them! Or at least a good part of them.
 
Thus, the unsuspecting player will often run in a seemingly desert area and be interrupted by a cutscene. [[Random Encounter|Cue a mook]] appearing stylishly from nowhere and maybe doing some threatening moves before the fight begins. The sequence is usually wordless but may feature a warcry of some sort. Naturally [[Elite Mook|Elite Mooks]]s tend to have a debut scene more often than minor mooks.
 
Will often overlap with [[Boss Subtitles]], but not always.

== Video Game Examples: ==
=== [[Action Adventure]] ===
* ''[[Alice: Madness Returns]]'' does this.
Line 27:
 
=== [[Hack and Slash]] ===
* ''[[Bayonetta]]'' does it. Curiously, [[Boss in Mook Clothing|Gracious & Glorious]] don't have one even though they are the [[Elite Mook|Elite Mooks]]s of the game; probably because they are an upgraded version of [[Demonic Spiders|Grace & Glory]] and are not met in Easy mode.
* Done in every game of the ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' series, for every single enemy.
* Done in ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'', though the cutscenes aren't always without dialogue, like the first one introducing the minotaurs (which involves two soldiers trying to outrun the monsters).
