Line 6:
 
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Dragon Ball (Manga)|Dragon Ball]]'' has Goku, Korin and Freeza do this. Usually for comedy.
* The Nine-tailed Fox's tails in ''[[Naruto (Manga)|Naruto]]'' are incredibly strong, sharp, and hot; they can devastate ''mountains'' and raise tsunamis, as well as pierce human flesh and leave chakra behind, which repeatedly burns and heals the affected area.
 
== Comics ==
Line 17:
* Littlefoot's mother in ''[[The Land Before Time]]'' (see the dinosaur Real Life example below)
* The Raptors in ''Jurassic Park'' occasionally but they use their claws more
* At the end of ''[[Dinosaur (Disney)|Dinosaur]]'', Aladar and Neera use their tails to attack the Carnotaurus.
* Master Viper's fighting style is based primarily around this in ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'', despite being a viper.
* The Super Shark from [[Sy Fy]]'s ''Super Shark'' attacks this way, which would be fine(see real life) except it does not seemed to be based off a species known for it. Then again, it is "super".
Line 43:
 
== Video games ==
* ''[[Pokémon Black and White (Video Game)|Pokémon Black and White]]'': Minccino and Cinccino's [[Signature Move]] is the [[Trope Namer]]. They usually use their tails to sweep away dust, but at a high enough level can use it offensively in combat. In addition, the moves Slam, Iron Tail [[hottip:*:which involves the tail becoming encased in ''[[Extra Ore Dinary|metal]]'', and Aqua Tail are this trope.
** A variation, Tauros has whip like tails, but instead of swatting others it swats itself to psyche up.
** Anything that can be taught Iron Tail or Aqua Tail could count as this, though to a slightly lesser degree than Minccino and Cinccino.
Line 51:
* ''Jurassic Park Warpath'' makes use of the dinosaur version
* Nearly ditto ''[[Primal Rage]]''. Sauron (no not [[Lord of the Rings|THAT one]]) and Diablo (no not [[Diablo|THAT one]]) have tail-swinging blows, as does Vertigo).
* Dragon pets in ''[[Mabinogi (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mabinogi]]'' always finish their combo on an enemy by spinning in a complete circle and bashing the enemy with their tail.
* In ''[[Battle for Wesnoth]]'', the campaign unit Merman Brawlers can use their fish tails to hit and stun their enemies, slowing them. Also, the downloadable setting "Era of Magic" has the lizardfolk's [[Dragon Rider|Chaos Riders]], who can use their Chaos Wyverns to perform a "tail sweep" at the enemies.
* In ''[[Blaz Blue]]'', Makoto (a [[Little Bit Beastly|squirrel girl]]) does this in some of her grab attacks.
* ''[[Super Mario Bros 3 (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros 3]]'' has the raccoon suit's tail as well as the P-Wing and tanuki suit. In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land (Video Game)|Super Mario 3D Land]]'', this is extended to a lot of things.
* In ''[[La-Mulana (Video Game)|La-Mulana]]'', the boss Tiamat can whip out her massive tail to do a lot of damage to Lemeza.
* Crocodile-like enemies in ''[[Earthbound (Video Game)|Earthbound]]'' can "swing their tail very hard" as an attack.
* Bullsquids from ''[[Half Life]]'' possess surprisingly powerful spinning tail-smack finisher which often reduces a victim to [[Ludicrous Gibs]].
 
Line 63:
* Grimlock from ''[[Transformers]]'' when not in Robot mode.
* The Kangaroo Monsters of ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]''
* Whiplash in the original ''[[He -Man and Thethe Masters of Thethe Universe|He-Man]]'' line. He gets clubbed the 2002 run.
** Dragons too, as people are roughly proportional to flies next to them.
* The white whale from ''Moby Dick''.
* Katz uses his extra limb for an advantage during a handball game in ''Courage The Cowardly Dog''.
* Again the ''Godzilla'' animated series feature this. [[The Godzilla Power Hour|Both]] of [[Godzilla: theThe Series|them.]]
