Line 35:
* You play as a Minion Master in ''[[Pikmin]]'' and ''Pikmin 2''.
* The Yuri faction in ''[[Command & Conquer|Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge]]'' counts by proxy through [[Mind Control]]. The Yuri clone can control one enemy unit at a time, the Psychic Tower can control ''three'', the Mastermind can control an ''infinite'' number of enemies (but takes damage after four), and both of its Superweapons are designed to take the enemy's units and add them to your own. They also get the Cloning Vats, doubling every trained infantry unit.
* Carriers in ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'' can send out up to eight tiny, lightning-quick Interceptor drones each to pepper any enemy that comes near. Every Zerg player counts too.
* ''[[Sacrifice]]'' basically makes an RTS of Minion Masters fighting it out.
** Similarly, ''[[Brutal Legend]]''.
 
=== Roguelikes ===
* Summoners in the [[Roguelike]] ''[[Tales of Maj 'Eyal|T.o.M.E.]]'' Kill an animal, and you can make a totem out of it's corpse. Kill an [[Explosive Breeder]], make a totem out of it, and the children of the summon are friendly towards you - and don't cost you. Filling entire levels with your pets is easy, but considered cheating.
* The Necromeister in ''100 Rogues'' can summon up to four skeletons and a Shade when the right skills are maxed out. Be warned: it's [[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points]].

=== Tabletop Games ===
* Most summon spells in ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' can be used to summon a swarm of lower-level creatures instead of one high-level creature.
** ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' also has the hordeificer artificer build that uses the large number of constructs.
** The Leadership feat causes a group of people to gather around you and mostly do your bidding.
** The Psionics Revised handbook gives us the Thrallherd prestige class which can easily grant you hundreds of willing minions. Disposable, too, as they'll be replaced if you were to lose any, say, throwing them at a dragon or something. Unlike the Leadership feat, this doesn't cause your remaining minions to have any second thoughts, they're all psychically manipulated anyway. And the class isn't limited to evil alignments!
