* ''TableTopGame/PrometheanTheCreated'': Frankensteins are this by default: much like their [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} progenitor]], the Prometheans of the Frankenstein lineage all possess the extreme passion, [[{{Determinator}} drive]], and a HairTriggerTemper; they ''feel'' the lightning that brought them to life in their veins, and it keeps driving them all through their Pilgrimages. Fittingly, their [[FourTemperamentEnsemble humour is choleric]], and their [[FourElementEnsemble alchemical element is fire]].

* This trope exists in the gothic horror game ''TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem'' (among other anime shoutouts) in the form of a [[HornyDevil Daeva]] bloodline called the Tianpian Xiao. These guys are so incredibly hot-blooded, they must use their power to release their excess emotions into the people around them or go through a hot-blooded ''stupor.''

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'':
** The [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Vior'la Sept]] have this as their [[PlanetOfHats hat]]. Their name even translates into "Hot Blooded". For the most part, though, Tau enter TranquilFury in battle.
** The forces of [[ReligionOfEvil Chaos]], [[BloodKnight Orks]] and [[CombatSadomasochist Dark Eldar]] count. Considering they're the only races who actually enjoy themselves in this insane CrapsackWorld, one could expect that. Also, [[AmazonBrigade the Sisters of Battle]] and some of the more extremist {{Church Militant}}s of the setting.
** The [[GodOfEvil Chaos God]] [[AxCrazy Khorne]] has this as his main characteristic. He is often called the God of Anger, Blood and War. [[BloodKnight His followers]] tend to follow suit, and are normally either [[TheBerserker Berserk Killers]], or (very angry) [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Honourable Opponents]].
* Bretonnian Knights Errant in the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Fantasy''. Unless they success in Leadership check, they will charge ''anyone'' in sight, being Immune to Psychology that turn. It acts as Darwinist selection; those who survive, will become new Knights of the Realm.



* The Apoc Churls of ''Untold'' have this as their [[PlanetOfHats hat.]] Some have been known to [[BreathWeapon spew lava out of their mouths]] when angered.

** Furthermore, pretty much any PC can be hot-blooded provided they have a high enough Valor score, though Dawn Caste Solars, Full Moon Lunars, and [[PlayingWithFire Fire-Aspect Terrestrials]] lend themselves to it the best. Having a high Compassion helps as well, since Solars have a Limit Break called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Red Rage of Compassion."]]

Not really. Most Imperial humans, Space Marines, Tau and craftworld Eldar go into Tranquil Fury during battle. Given what they know about Chaos, Justified Trope. Chaos themselves, Orks and Dark Eldar fit.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''
** The supplement ''Tome of Battle'', introduced a martial manoeuvre (functionally like a spell for a swordsman) called Iron Heart Surge. The fluff description of it is as follows: ''By drawing on your mental strength and physical fortitude, you break free of a debilitating state that might otherwise defeat you.'' For instance, if the character is paralysed due to the spell ''Hold Person'', Iron Heart Surge allows the affected character to use their sheer hot-bloodedness to eliminate the spell's effect (It was intended to anyways, the writers neglected to add an exception to the "must be able to move to use a maneuver" rule). Some players should make use of the [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann famous line of the hot-blooded god]] if using the manoeuvre at a dramatically-appropriate moment (and due to the bad wording, can end almost any "effect", like the sun or gravity, Fight the Power indeed).
** Some ChaoticGood characters, particularly fighters and Barbarians, will come off like this.
** Titans in the game have been described as like this, ChaoticGood and with passions of godlike magnitude. Something of the same seems to have applied to the whole Arborea, the ChaoticGood plane of existence, and its inhabitants in general.
