* ''Series/BakuageSentaiBoonboomger'': In the third episode, the villains create a monster out of an old clock that had stopped a long time ago. As a result, the monster resents seeing other objects moving and so it attacks anything that moves and screams at them to stop moving. This makes it easily distracted and possible to prevent it from attacking by only moving when it isn't looking at you.

Unfortunately, the don't have a "deaf spot", as Ruffnut and Tuffnut find out after their arguing over the blind spot clues the Nadder to their location.

* ''Literature/{{Dune}}'': Hunter-seeker drones use an anti-gravity field that obscures their sensors, making it nigh-impossible for their operators to see anything that isn’t moving.
* ''Literature/JurassicPark'': Played straight in the first novel, the ''T. rex'' is explicitly stated to be unable to see Dr. Grant frozen in terror. Unlike the film adaptation, however, [[JustifiedTrope it is implied that it was the result of amphibian DNA]] as other dinosaurs didn't notice Grant and the kids when they're not moving. In [[Literature/TheLostWorld1995 the second novel]], likely in response to the distilled film explanation, the ''T. rex'''s vision problem was explained as an absurd junk theory based on similarities between dinosaur skulls and those of some modern frogs. ''T. rex''es can see things that were standing still perfectly well, as one man fatally finds out. The behavior of the ''T. rex'' in the first book is retconned as not being hungry.
** Worth noting that the one instance in the first book is made a little more plausible by the circumstances: at night, under pouring rain interfering with Rexy's senses of smell and vision, with Grant standing right by a car that she could have trouble distinguishing him from. And the animal had just gotten out of her enclosure and might have indeed been more confused by her new environment than hungry.

** ''VideoGame/HalfLifeAlyx'' has Jeff, a Xen mutant that stalks the brewery in City 17. He's blind, but as a fellow Resistance member explains, he's "got an ear like Mozart". Almost any somewhat loud noise, be it a broken bottle or squeaky valve handle, will set him off and he'll stomp over to investigate; if he finds anything living, Jeff will [[SuperSpit barf out a stream]] of HollywoodAcid that'll [[InstakillMook instantly melt]] the target. Much of the chapter named after him is based around performing tasks and puzzles while he's around, as he's ImmunetoBullets and impossible to fight directly as a result.
