History Main / IAmLegion

* Tina from ''WapsiSquare'' is actually a swarm of demons inhabiting the body of a girl who was fatally injured in a car accident.
* [[LivingDollCollector Kharla'ggen]] of ''{{Drowtales}}'' always calls herself "we", and not in the RoyalWe sense despite being a noble, and her adopted sister Kiel believes that she has multiple people in her head due to her aura absorbing powers. Kiel thinks this also means that [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1236 Kharla's never really felt alone]].

* Apocalymon from ''DigimonAdventure'' uses "we" to describe himself, being formed from the data of many Digimon.

->''Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he replied, "[[TropeNamer My name is Legion, for we are many.]]''"

* In ''{{Spider-Man}}'', Eddie Brock's ComicBook/{{Venom}} usually refers to himself in the plural, as he is fused to an alien symbiote. Other Venoms generally don't, as they take a drug to suppress the symbiote's influence, but if they start losing control, they begin slipping into the plural.

* In ''MarbleHornets'', it's heavily hinted that[[spoiler: totheark is not just one person, but many users working on the same account]].

--> '''Meta-Cooler Army''': I am Legion, for we are one-

* [[{{Kagerou}} Kano]] sometimes refers to himself in the plural. He's the protagonist. [[MindScrew Weird comic.]]

* OlderThanFeudalism: The trope takes its title from the [[Literature/TheFourGospels Book of Mark]], where a man possessed by many demons was asked his name by Jesus and replied, "My name is Legion for we are many." Another Literature/{{bibl|e}}ical example: Daniel 10:6 also reports the eponymous prophet's vision of a glowing man whose [[VoiceOfTheLegion voice was "like the sound of a multitude."]]

* In ''{{Spider-Man}}'', ComicBook/{{Venom}} usually refers to himself in the plural, as he is Eddie Brock fused to an alien symbiote.

*** Carnage is an exception among Symbiotes, it refers to itself almost exclusively as "I" because Cletus and it's psychotic personalities sync up so well.

* Oddly, enough, this Trope [[SubvertedTrope does not apply]] to ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'' villain Legion, despite the fact that he once quoted the passage in the Bible where the name of the Trope came from to explain his SplitPersonality.

* In Jeff Lindsey's ''{{Dexter}}'' book series, whenever Dexter lets the Dark Passenger "take the wheel" he has a tendency to refer to himself as we and us when he speaks to his victims- referring to him (Dexter) and the separate entity that is the Dark Passenger.

** The Cybermen of on occasion, particularly in the new series. "You will become identical. You will become like us."

* The Tachikoma in ''GhostInTheShell'' are not a group of individual sentient robots, but are instead all remote controlled by a single computer. In regular intervals, the individual [=AI=] programs are stopped and all the data each unit has gathered during the day compared and analyzed. When the [=AIs=] are reinitialized, each one has exactly the same set of stored memories. Somehow they still manage to spend most of their idle time on philosophical debates with each unit expressing different views and opinions, which by all logical understanding [[SentientAIWarningSigns should be impossible]].
* The demonic sword Saika from ''{{Durarara}}'', which leaves a cut in each of it's victims' soul, where a "daughter sword" is born, thus making the victim a servant and mouthpiece of Saika, and a part of it as well.

* Starting with ''Symphony of the Night,'' Legion itself is a popular RecurringBoss in the ''{{Castlevania}}'' series. It takes the form of a giant orb with several acid-spewing tentacles sticking out, but is always initially covered in a giant layer of tortured souls/corpses, which it drops to attack you. It also doubles as the first stage of a BonusBoss in ''Curse of Darkness''.
** In ''[[CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight Symphony of the Night]]'', Legion was called "Granfalloon", a reference to the Bokononism term in the novel ''Cat's Cradle'' for a group of people who think they're a part of an important association with a meaningful purpose, but aren't.
** ''[[CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDissonance Harmony Of Dissonance]]'' introduced two variations: the first one was dubbed "Legion (Saint)", that fits the description above. The second one was called "Legion (Corpse)", which had the shell of bodies replaced by an indestructible armor composed mostly of human skulls and the weak spot being a ''seemingly crucified rotten corpse''.
* Dormin from ''ShadowOfTheColossus'' refers to Theirself as "we." Granted, Dormin also has two voices speaking at once, and was split into ''sixteen'' different collosi/shadow beings.

* Apocalymon from ''DigimonAdventure'' is a single life-form created from the collective data of all Digimon who died in failed attempts to evolve.

** Both the game and instructions seem to imply heavily that this is THE Legion from the Bible but never openly state it to be the case.

* In both ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'' and ''DissidiaFinalFantasy'' The Cloud of Darkness refers to "herself" in the plural. The reason for this could either because "she" is actually a personification of the chaotic forces that herald the coming of The Void, or because "she" is including her [[CognizantLimbs attack]] [[CombatTentacles tentacles]] when talking about "herself".
** Or she could just be using the RoyalWe.
** It's the latter. Each tentacle has [[EmpathicWeapon a mind of its own]], so she's speaking on behalf of all of them.
*** It should be noted this was added to the English version. In the Japanese version, she uses 'Washi,' a pronoun for old men.
* The Prometheus robots in ''VideoGame/TimeSplitters: Future Perfect'' say this at random (or more specifically, We ARE legion).

* The playable character Legion in ''{{MARDEK}} RPG 3'' is a robot built by Meraeador and bound to a soul...except that Meraeador stuttered the magic words, and so Legion has FOUR souls. Three of them are crazy, and one of the three can't even speak coherently.

* The Masters of the Bazaar in VideoGame/FallenLondon frequently talk like this, since their exact nature is unknown it's not clear whether they are attempting the RoyalWe, or whether each individual Master is in fact some kind of colony. It's fairly clear they aren't a collective as they've been known to work at cross purposes. Or possibly they are all just plain nuts.

* Dormin from ''ShadowOfTheColossus'' refers to him/her/it/Dorminself as "we." Granted, Dormin also has two voices speaking at once, and was split into ''sixteen'' different collosi/shadow beings.

* The main character in ''[[CommandAndConquer Kane's Wrath]]'' is named LEGION[[hottip:*: Logarithmically Engineered Governing Intelligence Of Nod]].

** Also the Hiver from A Hat Full of Sky. Whilst it obviously qualifies as a HiveMind, there is a part of it which could be referred to as 'the original' that is changed every time a new mind is added to the mix.

* The Overlord Doom Blade from VideoGame/AdventureQuestWorlds houses several darkness elementals

* In MarbleHornets, it's heavily hinted that[[spoiler: totheark is not just one person, but many users working on the same account]].

* The Delightful Children From Down The Lane in ''KidsNextDoor.'' [[spoiler: (Though this is due to a brainwashing device that [[UpToEleven overloaded]].)]]

* 'WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': In the episode Up A Tree it has an obvious ShoutOut to ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', creatures that live in a tree repeatedly say this: "In the tree, part of the tree. In the tree, part of the tree."

* Brilliantly played with in ''JohnDiesAtTheEnd'' where a person possessed by a [[TheSwarm swarm]] refers to himself as Shitload, "because there is a shitload of us in there".

** In the sequel, a geth ends up rescuing Shepard and is then rescued by him/her in return and brought back to the Normandy. Shepard asks what it should be called, and it simply replies "Geth", claiming it is not an individual and that there are currently "1,183 programs active within this platform", leading EDI to recite the Bible passage and naming it Legion, which he "acknowledges as an appropriate metaphor".

* The ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' series has a variation in that every individual of the [[spoiler:Reaper species]] is its own numberless legion, although the few we interact with still refer to themselves in the singular. The sequel reveals that [[spoiler: they reproduce by liquefying millions of individual organics and pumping their genetic paste into a shell. Legion describes a Reaper as "One ship, one will, many minds."]]

** In ''MassEffect3'', depending on the choice you make, [[spoiler:the geth runtimes can achieve true sentience and individuality]].

* Shitload from ''JohnDiesAtTheEnd''
-->''"Just call me 'Shitload.' Because there's a shitload of us in here."''

* Although trees can't talk in the typical way, [[SelfDuplication clonal Aspen colonies]] that share a [[HiveMind common root system]] are the living embodiment of this trope. The most famous example, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pando_%28tree%29 Pando]], is composed of 43,000 standing trees and is over [[[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld 80,000 years old]].

** Whether Flagg and Linoge are one and the same is a major source of EpilepticTrees. Entirely possible, given that Flagg is a recurring character in the works of Stephen King. [[TheDragon Walter O'Dim]], the Man in Black, the Walking Dude from ''TheDarkTower'' series and Flagg are one and the same. Since Walter can travel through the multiverse, it's quite likely that he is every incarnation of Flagg/Legion to appear in all of Stephen King's stories.

* Done in the NeonGenesisEvangelion fanfic Fanfic/NobodyDies, where a group of enthralled people speak in unison to punctuate the words of their leader. A direct ShoutOut to the trope picture above, from FinalCrisis. "I am Legion, I am numerous. When I strike down your army, it is with SIX BILLION FISTS! When I stare my hatred into the depths of your soul, it is with SIX BILLION EYES!"
