** His "Onryō" skin reimagines Hanzo as a VengefulGhost, giving him much more villainous and fury-driven dialogue based on his desire to slay the mortals that wronged him, including changing his ultimate callout to "Let vengeance consume you!"



** Her "Hades" skin styles her after [[Myth/ClassicalMythology the Greek god of the underworld]], giving her plenty of lines alluding to death and the inevitability of everything. She also features plenty of specific lines made in response to killing other heroes using Greek mythology-inspired skins, including one to "Zeus" Junker Queen: [[CasualDangerDialogue "Let Persephone know if you and Hera can make it to dinner next week."]]
** Her "Inarius" skin designs her after the rogue Archangel of the same name from ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'', with updated dialogue evoking his brutal LightIsNotGood aesthetic. Her intro line changes to "Strike from the heavens," while her ultimate callout becomes "Prophet's barrage incoming!"



** His ''Starwatch''-themed "Infinite Guard" skin styles him as a member of the PraetorianGuard to the Infinite Empire, giving him much more brutal and authoritarian dialogue as he serves the will of his Excellency, [[GalacticConqueror Galactic Emperor Sigma]].



** His Santaclad skin gives him a few additional voice lines, including changing his ultimate callout to "MEEEERRRRY MOLTEN CORE!"
** His Viking skin gives him the line "ONWARDS TO RAGNAROK!" when nano-boosted.

Maybe I'll have to look really closely at the animations, but I'm pretty sure Venture doesn't use their goggles at any point.
