* ''{{Mortasheen}}'' combines this with Mons.

* ''[[http://dozerfleetwiki2.wiki-site.com/index.php/Ciem_2 Ciem 2]]'' combines BioPunk with CyberPunk and [[{{EspionageTropes}} Spy Punk]]. And a sprinkling of TheWarOnTerror just for the heck of it. So in some chapters, [[{{ViceCity}} Dirbine]] feels like a ([[{{EarnYourHappyEnding}} mutable]]) [[{{CrapsackWorld}} Crapsack Town]].

Many Bio Punk worlds DidNotDoTheResearch on just how living organisms operate, such as their nutrient and energy requirements, and thus have things like [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyte air plants]] that grow to redwood size, living things that [[AutomatonHorses function identically to machines]], or flesh-and-bone skyscrapers that ignore the SquareCubeLaw. However, they rarely [[YouFailBiologyforever Fail Biology Forever]], merely get poor grades for a few semesters.

* ''Gunnm'' features this in Venus, where everything is biological: furniture, vehicles and clothes. All of them are genetically enginereed, and [[Squick based on the human DNA]].

It should be noted that the line between Bio Punk and {{cyberpunk}} is very thin.

* The '''Literature/{{Leviathan}}'' series by ScottWesterfeld has fabricated beasties created after Darwin discovered the "chains of life". Also uses LegoGenetics.

* ChinaMieville's ''[[PerdidoStreetStation Bas-Lag]]'', though closer to DungeonPunk, has elements of this with the [=ReMade=]: bio-thaumaturges can warp flesh, bone and biology to heal, remake a being as something new, or (far, far more often) to punish.

* In {{Akira}} [[spoiler: they are working on creating]] telepaths.

* The technology of the North in {{Xamd Lost Memories}} consists of this, including the titular Xamd.

* ''{{Neon Genesis Evangelion}}'': a thorough deconstruction of the HumungousMecha genre, except all the humungous mecha are actually gigantic aliens.

* Jeff [=VanderMeer's=] ''{{Ambergris}}'' stories, espcially the newest novel ''Finch'' are UrbanFantasy BioPunk, or perhaps Spore Punk, with the Graycaps' fungus-based high technology that almost passes for magic, as far as the humans are concerned.

* The [[DungeonsAndDragons Lords of Madness]] sourcebook includes a "Fleshwarper" prestige class, designed for creating this sort of thing in a HeroicFantasy setting.

* ''FinalFantasyVII'' could possibly qualify.

* S. Andrew Swann's Moreau Series is a perfect example. The protagonist is Nohar Rajasthan; a Half Tiger/Half Human Private Investigator in a world where hybrid "Moreaus" (As in "Island of Dr. Moreau") are confined to ghettos as second class citizens. The series also has genetically improved humans and aliens.

* In ''{{Pokemon}}'', Pokemon often do various things for humans that you would usually do with tools in our world, like Cut (chainsaws), rock Smash (hammer), and Surf (boat).
* ''FinalFantasyVII'' could possibly qualify.

* The book ''{{Oryx and Crake}}'' is set in the [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture near future]], and features many many bio-engineered animals, most notably pigs who can grow human organs for use in transplants.
