* The closest thing ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' has to a standard grenade is alchemist's fire, a liquid stored in throwable bottles that ignites on exposure to oxygen. From there things get a little weird. Bottles of holy water can be thrown to do damage to undead, acid flasks ... [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|do acid damage]], tanglefoot bags release an adhesive to slow opponents down, choking powder makes it hard to breathe, and thunderstones deafen the subject. The catchall term for these is "grenadelike weapons". Alchemist's fire and acid flasks are particularly useful in low-level parties for finishing off trolls, which will [[Healing Factor|eventually regenerate]] from wounds inflicted by any other type of damage.
* ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' has a number of special grenade types available to different species. These run from relatively "normal" grenades such as smoke and stun grenades right the way up really exotic things such as Stasis Grenades (which stop time in a small area) and Warp Grenades (which tear a hole in the fabric of reality and suck anything nearby into [[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place|the Warp]]).

* In ''[[Hogs of War]]'', pigs promoted into the Medic class-line gain access to a Medicene Ball, which functions exactly like a grenade but releases pink healing gas instead of firey explosive death. Espionage pigs also get a [[Standard Status Effects|'poison gas' grenade]], which is pretty much [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]].
* ''[[Bomberman]] Hero'' has ''salt'' bombs. [[Captain Obvious|For killing slugs.]]
* ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'': Coin, [[Caltrops]], cherry, splinter, stink, smoke, and blood bombs.
* ''[[Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City|Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City]]'': Pheromone Bombs [[Encounter Bait|attract zombies and B.O.W.S.]] to it.
* In ''[[Mass Effect 1]]'', the grenades can be modded to be incendiary grenades, concussion grenades, chemical grenades, flashbangs, and radioactive grenades. In [[Mass Effect 2]], grenades were a much smaller part of gameplay, only available as DLC powers in the form of flashbang grenades and incendiary grenades.
