** In ''6'' there is a mode that turns Barbarian Encampments into these. The more you pay them off and hire them the closer they get to turning into a straight up random City-state that no longer spawns hostile units. The process can be reversed by antagonizing them before they make the change.

* ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'', PlayedForLaughs. The main characters are all proud barbarians, but instead of being ruthless and dramatic they're mostly weird, self-obsessed, shallow and a bit pathetic. There's also hints that despite their constant resistance to the Romans, they are becoming quite Romanized. There are other barbarian tribes too, like the Goths, Normans and Danish Vikings.

* ''Film/TheScorpionKing'': The Black Arrows are a Barbarian Tribe that the heroes cross paths with when trying to reach the Temple of Scrolls. They do have a sense of fair play and honor when they agree to give safe passage to Mathayus when they hold a contest with him, which not only he wins but shows mercy to his opponents earning their respect.



* ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': Beneath Freeway 42, [[TheMorlocks the Outcasts]] who fully succumbed to the [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul after-effects]] of the [[UnwillingRoboticisation Mechanika Virus]] splintered off into a tribe called the Mutants led by a ruthless general accompanied by savage beasts to attack whoever trespasses onto their territory.



* Act 5 of ''VideoGame/DiabloII'' had you helping a friendly version. Barbarians were even a selectable class.
* The Barbarians have a great deal more backstory, as ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'' exposes; the Barbarians believe themselves to have a god given mission to protect their territory, which houses the greatest gem in the Diablo universe (and also the ''largest''. This causes frequent clashes with the more civilized people who have no idea what they're guarding, and just see them as aggressive and territorial beyond reason. Sadly, with the corruption and subsequent destruction of said gem, most of them died off or went insane. Those that remain are still as badass as ever.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Darkwood}}'' there are the Savages, humans who have devolved to a more primitive mindset due to a mysterious plague that has turned a forest in 1987 Soviet-controlled Poland into an EldritchLocation. At daytime they are territorial, grunting and/or waving large tree branches at you menacingly if they see you from a distance, but at night they shed the “territorial” part and will invade your chosen hideout to try and murder you.
