** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', the trees in the Dark World all have faces. Most of them are inanimate, but some are {{Forced Transformation}}s. The living ones will happily talk to you if you interact with them, but if you dash into them they'll spit bombs at you.

* There is an infamous online advertisement showing a tree with a humanoid face, with the caption ''"If you're over 25 and own a computer, this game is a must have!"''. It's been used for different games such as ''Stormfall: Age of War'' and ''Throne: Kingdom at War''. Its creepy unsettling face and strange slogan made it subject to much MemeticMutation.

* The Book Tree from ''Series/ThroughTheDragonsEye'' is a talking tree who offers the search help in the form of riddles, and houses both a maze and a library inside himself. In the final chapter, he urges all the other trees to sing in order to keep them going after their long journey.

* ''VideoGame/LordOfGun'' uses this trope as a subtle {{foreshadowing}}. At the end of the swamp level, the final area has a gigantic tree in the foreground whose bark suspiciously resembles a distorted human face, but is otherwise ordinary and motionless as you take down enemies around the area. But when the screen is clean of enemies, the tree's face suddenly moves, revealing it to be a fire-breathing [[WhenTreesAttack Tree Demon]]. Cue boss battle ([[https://youtu.be/oAgIj9Tlyfg?t=661 See it here]].

Added DiffLines:

** ''VideoGame/MarioParty6'': Several minigames take place in a haunted forest close to a town plaza (implied to be part of Faire Square), and the dark trees have glowing eyes. Their most notable role is played in the minigame Trick or Tree, where four trees of varying heights will begin switching their positions rapidly, and it's not possible to tell where the tallest one will remain after the minigame begins (since the camera will only show their heights before they move); therefore, the two dueling characters have to choose each one tree to climb and hope it to be taller. Each character has only 10 seconds to choose, and whoever climbs a tree whose top is higher than the other's will win.
