History Main / TheDividual

* ''Franchise/{{Neptunia}}'': Rom and Ram are PolarOppositeTwins, but they are almost always together. Their core personalities are reflections of their older sister's two extreme character traits, the twins have almost identical movesets, have basically the same weapons and matching costumes, they get upgrades at the same time and they join the party at the same time. Their goddess forms are even more of a PaletteSwap than they already are in their human forms, and they share the same divine name: White Sister. Late games do differentiate then a bit more by giving Ram more offensive kit while Rom is mostly support.

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'' gives us [[{{KillItWithFire}} Agni]] and [[{{BlowYouAway}} Rudra]] - a pair of [[{{EmpathicWeapon}} sentient demonic swords]] who first appear as a DualBoss, and are always together in their limited cutscene screentime. When defeated, they offer their services to Dante in slicing, dicing, [[{{ArsonMurderAndJaywalking}} and occasionally commenting on combos he pulls off while using them]]. Even then, those two are indivisible in-game; you can't equip them in any way other than simultaneous DualWielding.

*** This is lampshaded in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyAndFriendsE25SweetStuffAndTheTreasureHunt Sweet Stuff and the Treasure Hunt]]", where they turn out to be the last thing to be found in a scavenger hunt -- the clue leading to them describes the item to be found as "Something that is one even when it is many".

** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'': The bushwoolies typically appear in groups of up to a dozen, without names or distinct personalities, and are never seen alone. Their tendency to speak quickly and talk over each other also makes it impossible to tell which one is saying any specific thing. For all narrative intents and purposes, they act as a single character that so happens to have several designs on-screen at any given time. "The End of Flutter Valley" averts this by giving the three bushwoolies in its story unique names and character traits; it doesn't stick.

* ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'': Despite having their own profiles in Sol's friend list, Sol never runs into Marz's [[HasTwoDaddies dads]] separately.

* In the sci-fi detective novel ''Emissaries of the Dead'', the cylinked twins Oscin and Skye Porrinyard are this. They're very similar in appearance, except that one is male and one is female, and through cybernetic modification, they essentially have one merged consciousness.

* [[Creator/ArthurCClarke Arthur C. Clarke's]] ''Imperial Earth'': Malcolm, Colin and Dunkan Makenzie possess aspects of both twindividual and syndividual. Malcolm's genetic defect prevents him from conceiving healthy children, so he turned to cloning to produce a heir. Since Colin inherited his father's faulty gene, his son Duncan is also a clone. On one hand they predictably have very similar physique and their ways of thinking are similar enough that they can finish each other's sentences, predict each other's reactions and communicate in a form of shorthand. On the other hand there's the obvious age difference and they have differing but complementing personalities with Malcolm being pragmatic and formal, Colin being more amiable and charismatic, and Duncan being more emotional and less down-to-earth than the other two. The syndividual aspect is at least partially intentional as Malcolm decided to focus Colin's education and upbringing on areas he himself lacked skill in.

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage'', the Emblem of the Sacred consists of Eirika and Ephraim, both representing ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones''. This, however, is only for combat, as all non-combat moments (and mid-battle dialogue) exclusively use Eirika, with Ephraim nowhere to be found.
** With the DLC expansion pass come two more Emblems that serve as Dividuals: First is the Emblem of Rivals, an Emblem containing all three the Academy-Era iterations of Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' (who actually do all appear in supports and the like), and the as-of-yet unreleased (but announced) Emblem of Bonds, featuring Chrom and Robin, the main characters of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening''.

** Introduced in [[PokemonXAndY Gen VI]], Binacle always co-exist in pairs, living in the same rock. The paired constituents often squabble with one another, and, if they bother one another too much, they may even leave and seek out a new rock to inhabit with a new partner. Upon evolving into Barbaracle, the two Binacle become seven, with six acting as the limbs and the leader forming the head. The individual Binacle that form the limbs do have minds of their own and can function independently, though they usually follow the head Binacle's orders.
** From ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Gen VIII]], Falinks is treated as a single Pokémon, but it comprised of a unit of six smaller creatures. Five of them (the troopers) are identical to one another, while the leader (referred to as the 'brass') is larger and has a longer horn, [[LeaderFormsTheHead directing the troopers from the front of their formations]].

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' introduces Tandemaus in Gen IX, consisting of two identical-looking mice being treated as a single Pokémon. The two are exceptional in teamwork and even divide up their food evenly. They evolve into Maushold, which adds a smaller mouse or two.

* ''WesternAnimation/GIJoe': The twin employers of Extensive Enterprises are this; best noticed when they are speaking. The only way to tell them apart is Xamot's facial scar.

* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'':

** The Dioscuri are actually the titular twins Castor and Pollux working as a BrotherSisterTeam. In-game, they're classed as a Saber, but in lore only Pollux is the Saber while Castor is an Avenger ([[GameplayAndStoryIntegration which is reflected by their unit having all the Avenger class's passive skills]]). Notably, it's emphasized compared to other dividual Servants where their normal attacks as well as their Noble Phantasm has both of them fight together instead of the usual formula where only one of them does the majority of the attacks until the Noble Phantasm where the dividual Servants then work together. Personality-wise, they diverge, as Castor is a somewhat arrogant {{Jerkass}} with a InferioritySuperiorityComplex while Pollux is a NiceGirl who has to rein her brother in. Their Lostbelt versions are worse, with Castor's negative traits being cranked UpToEleven while Pollux is a YesMan to her brother.

** Anne Bonny and Mary Read are two individuals summoned as one Servant, both pirates, and are pretty much a couple, and if one collapses and is no longer able to fight, the other is also able rendered unable to fight.

* Twins Cody and Logan from ''Series/{{Baskets}}'' are always seen and mentioned together, following up seamlessly on what the other says, working together as a DJ act and lacks TwinDesynch in contrast to their very, very different elder twin brothers.
