▲{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* Laffitte from ''[[One Piece]]'' is capable sneaking into Mariejois with three Warlords of the Sea on the grounds...''while wearing tap shoes.''
* While [[Lupin III]] often gets into buildings via disguise, he is also an accomplished second story-man. He can sneak in in a black cat suit, or cause enough distractions that his bright yellow tie and bright red jacket aren't noticed.
Line 23:
== [[Literature]] ==
* The High-Elves in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' were capable of moving silently and unseen in the woods. Hobbits were also capable of great stealth, or so it seemed to a [[Hypocritical Humour|big, clumsy human.]]
* The ''[[Animorphs]]'' [[Animorphism|naturally excel at this]]. Flies, fleas and even roaches are among their most common morphs.
* Corvin Wergard, a private detective from [[James H. Schmitz]]'s ''[[Federation of the Hub]]'' series, is an expert at lockpicking and staying hidden.
Line 32:
* The key ability of ''[[Gaunt's Ghosts]]'', with the scouts being even better at it.
* Ajatasutra, Narses personal henchman and [[Hitman with a Heart]] in [[Belisarius Series]].
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 72 ⟶ 71:
* In ''[[Mabinogi]]'', the elf's hide skill could count as this.
* Kyle "Shadow Simmons from [[Jagged Alliance]] 2.
== [[Real Life]] ==▼
* Animals such as flounder and octopuses can do this ([[Life or Limb Decision|and make a cunning escape as well!]])▼
* Cats (all sizes) are essentially made for this trope. They have mottled coats to blend in with foliage, padded paws to muffle the sound of their footsteps, antibacterial saliva which kills odours (and explains why they [[Out, Damned Spot!|groom so obsessively]]) and they also possess ''night vision''. It gets even better: they have a distinct gait which minimizes their profile (one side first, then the other), hypersensitive hearing and smell, and whiskers which act as feelers in the dark.▼
* [[Sub Story|Submarines]]▼
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 86 ⟶ 80:
** [[Highly-Visible Ninja|Well - this, or...]]
* [[Batman]]
