== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Supervillain The Trapster from [[Marvel Comics]].
* A lot of [[Batman]]'s enemies love their [[Death Trap|Death Traps]]s, especially the Riddler, who practically relies on them.
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 55:
* Some people play ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' exactly like this, but with added lava.
* ''[[Minecraft]]'' sees a fair few automatic enemy-harvesting machines, too.
** Not to mention TNT rooms... some players are themselves [[Trap Master|trap masters]].
* [[Dirty Coward|Dirty Duck]] from ''[[Metal Gear]]'' fights using traps and [[Human Shield|Human Shields]]s.
* Urien from ''[[Street Fighter III]]'' uses a shield which reflect projectiles and harms anyone who touches it. Typical mastery of his moveset involves pushing enemies to the corner and keeping them there with said shields.
* ''[[Pokémon]]'' has the metal bagworm Forretress, capable of learning all the entry hazard moves (Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock). Gen V [[Expy]] Ferrothorn is also able to learn Spikes and Stealth Rock but not Toxic Spikes.
Line 71:
== Tabletop Games ==
* There was a whole series of [[Dungeons and Dragons]] supplements full of ever more fiendish traps, all hosted by a Troll named Grimtooth.
** Some of D&D's most legendary classic adventures, including ''I6: [[Ravenloft]]'' and ''[[Tomb of Horrors]]'', largely or entirely consist of a dungeon-crawl through the lair of a [[Trap Master]].
** In ''[[Pathfinder]]'', there's a sun-class of the Ranger class called the Trapper, which gives up spellcasting in favor of learning how to quickly set up snares and other simple traps in combat. There's also a Rogue subclass called the Trapsmith, which specializes in disarming traps and building her own.
* As much as the name suggests [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Trap_Master the Trap Master] is not this trope.
Line 80:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* This is what Fred from the ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' franchise ''wants'' to be. Usually, however, his traps never work as intended. In ''[[Scooby Doo Mystery Inc|Mystery Incorporated]]'', the series' most recent incarnation, Fred's affinity for traps is exaggerated into a borderline fetishistic obsession. However, in this series, he actually is this trope and most of his traps actually do work fantastically, so the obsession may have it's good points..
** One episode of ''Mystery Incorporated'' showcases the gang going up against a villainous [[Trap Master]], with Fred treating him as a friendly nemesis.
