Line 82:
* The Urumi is available in ''[[GURPS]]: Martial Arts'', sadly it has none of the strengths of a whip and none of the strengths of a sword.
* In the ''[[Iron Kingdoms]]'' setting the Satyxis aiders of Cryx and Bloodrunner master tormentors of the Skorne use a variation of this. Neither have swords that transform to whips, but the Satyxis have whips with sharp blades attached to them throught their lenghts and the master tormentors have whips that are comprised of circular blades linked together.
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' ([[Fantasy Kitchen Sink|of course]])
** There is a drow weapon called a lashwhip (redundant,
* The obscure book ''[[Eberron]] Torn Asunder'' provides us with the chain blade, which is essentially this trope played entirely straight. It's also a noted [[Game Breaker]] as being a one handed reach weapon with a long sword's damage and the single largest critical range in 3.5 at a staggering 17-20 standard. In other words its everything a melee combatant needs in a one handed weapon and then some with the only downside being that it's exotic and the sourcebook is almost impossible to find. Oh, that and no DM in their right minds use the thing.▼
** Ultimate Combat, a ''[[Pathfinder]]'' splatbook, features a "Scorpion Whip." It is described as having a "series of razorsharp blades and fangs inset along its tip" can deal lethal damage, and is not hindered by armor, unlike a normal whip.▼

** ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' got whip-rapier, or "whipsting" - rare weapon from South (somewhere around Shaar). Mentioned as the [[Weapon of Choice]] of its [[They Call Him "Sword"|namesake]], mercenary leader Gayrlana "Lady Bloodsword", and of Netherese assassin Alashar Crywinds. Probably named after the monster "whipsting" that attacks with a pair of whip-tentacles ending in venomous stings.
* The Scorpio [[Improbable Weapon User|Ars Magna school]] in ''[[Anima: Beyond Fantasy]]''. Wielders need a basic understanding of [[Supernatural Martial Arts]] to use it. In the game's offical setting Lilith, one of the four [[Praetorian Guard|Knights of the 7th Heaven]], uses this weapon.
* Planeswalker Gideon Jura from ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' wields a three-bladed whip they call a 'sural' or 'urumi', and it is believed they were referring to the Indian chuttuval.
* Violet from ''[[Summoner Wars]]'' uses this.
