* ''VideoGame/LethalCompany'': The Bracken has dark red skin that blends well in the darkness and try to sneak up on players, giving them a NeckSnap should they succeed. [[ArtificialBrilliance Their AI also tries to avoid being in direct line of sight and will take alternative routes to do so]]. They are entirely silent in their approach, but one look at them will make them hiss and back away for a few seconds.

* In ''VideoGame/TombRaiderIII'', the India levels are riddled with giant cobras that lurk in the brush and rear up to attack if Lara gets too close. Fortunately, the snakes can't move, so so if Lara is ''very'' careful she can make them rear up, then backflip out of their attack radius and kill them from a safe distance. The Nevada Desert level has similar snakes, probably meant to be rattlesnakes.

* ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' has the Fool Eaters, ManEatingPlant things that hide in not just floors but walls and ceilings. They only emerge briefly when you enter their attack range, which makes it slightly tricky to grind them to refill your Soul meter.

* ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' has ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'': Many of the Greenpath's enemies blend well with the green plants and moss of their land.
** Mosscreeps lie flat and almost invisible against the greenery, and pop out and start moving once the player comes close to them.
** Moss Chargers burst directly out of the ground when the player enters their territories, charge towards him, and vanish back underground to ready another attack.
** Moss Knights hide in thick bushes, waiting to ambush the enemy. It may throw the player off guard during the first scripted Moss Knight encounter, but they can be spotted easily since the "hidden" Moss Knights still have their heads popping out of the bush.

** ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'': In Saria and Darunia Towns, some of the townspeople turn into Aches after you talk to them. These are fairly easy to avoid, though -- just... don't talk to the random townspeople. They very rarely have anything interesting to say anyway.
