Perverse Puppet: Difference between revisions

== Tabletop Games ==

* The ''[[Mutants and Masterminds]]'' META-4 universe (the default universe for 1E) had Gepetto, a psycho who could both animate puppets to make them murderous and use mind control to create [[People Puppets]] (who exhibited little glowing strings hanging from midair, controlling their motions). He's a somewhat tragic case in that the event which led to his power breakthrough also burnt down the orphanage he ran. In his mind, he's just trying to bring the children back.

** It also has "Carrionettes", which are malevolent self-aware marionette puppets that can use magical needles to trade bodies with living people. Their true purpose in existence is to swap bodies with some poor sucker, so they can enjoy being flesh and blood, and thusly they only associate with other monsters in return for the prospect of being given a victim to take for their own.

* Then there's this little gem, from ''[[Exalted]]'':

* Elsie and Frances in ''[[Metal Gear|Metal Gear Acid]]'' are a pair of bantering puppets who manage to hijack a plane. {{spoiler|They're being controlled by Lena}}.

** In [[Metal Gear|Metal Gear: Ghost Babel]] (known as Metal Gear Solid for the GBC), Snake has to fight an enemy called [[Psychopathic Manchild|Marionette]] [[Serial Killer|Owl]], who uses two life-sized marionettes... [[Squick|made out from the body parts of people that Owl killed]]!

* Killer doll enemies in ''[[Zombies Ate My Neighbors]]'' that throw hatchets at you. Sometimes when you kill them you have to fight their [[Incendiary Exponent|burning remains]], which are faster.

* The "Puppit" enemies in the Subspace Emissary mode of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl''. Their description [[Nightmare Fuel|just makes them creepier.]]
