* A recently-released ''TabletopGame/{{Battletech}}'' core rule book: "Tactical Operations" allows players to create units of ''Orca''-riding infantry.
* While not a part of 'canon' ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', the variety of races, templates, and character classes available can result in ridiculous combinations, like a Fiendish Dragonkin Vampiric Samurai Half-Orc Fighter/Wizard/Monk/Shadowdancer. Or a sandwich. Or a chicken slaad sand witch. This is frequently the work of a Munchkin, however it's often ostensibly done for "role playing" purposes. There's even a "type pyramid" listed in one book that ranks just how hard it is to use this trope on various monster categories.
** The Alienist class is a cultist specializing in [[SummonMagic summoning creatures]] from [[EldritchLocation beyond the gulfs of space as we know them]], resulting in a more tentacly version of what it was said Alienist summoned. Oh, and insanity. A latter installment of supplement books included spells to ''[[DemBones summon undead]]'' and to [[DemonicPossession bind the souls of demons to those undead]]. Even if it's not 'canon', the potential is most definitely there. With disturbingly few modifications.
** The ultimate example of this trope came from a specific thread on the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' character optimization boards. The end result was A Zombie Ninja Pirate Jedi with a Demonic Cyborg Midget Monkey Schoolgirl sidekick and a small crew of Mutant Zombie Sea Bass, riding in a Transforming Robot Dinosaur, armed with Lightsabers and Eye Lasers. Sadly, the design was considered too dangerous to ever create as it could easily destroy the world.
*** [[Film/AustinPowers Mutant Sea Bass]]? Are they ill-tempered?
** ''AD&D'' is responsible for some of the Oldest Ones In The Book - not just in the munchkin possibilities, but in the Monster Manual. Owlbears. What more needs to be said?
*** Owlbears? There's more where that came from... [[http://www.headinjurytheater.com/article73.htm Behold the dreaded Duckbunny!]]
** The ''TabletopGame/{{Spelljammer}}'' campaign setting. Imagine, if you can, flying a magic space sailship crewed by [[BeastMan half-hippopotamus]] mercenaries fighting psychic {{Cthulhumanoid}} SpacePirates -- InSpace! Now add some [[OurGnomesAreWeirder tinker gnomes]] on [[MilitaryMashupMachine hamster-powered sidewheelers upgraded in several uncoordinated directions at once]], talking telepathic penguins who ride winged pigs and try to palm off downright crazy goods, the species of {{Mad Artist}}s on {{Living Ship}}s...
*** The latest edition offers as one of the playable races the Warforged, which are essentially magical robots. Then, they had an expansion where you can play a deceased-but-reanimated version of any playable race, like an intelligent zombie (at at higher levels can become a ghost too). So you can now play an actual Zombie Robot Ghost!
*** Actually using a Warforged ninja as the base creature and class, then gaining the zombie template(which can be applied to any corporeal creature) from any creature whose create spawn ability turns you into a zombie, the Emancipated Spawn prestige class(to regain your ninja abilities) and finally the Dread Pirate prestige class can turn you into a genuine Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie.
** ''TabletopGame/{{Eberron}}'', home of not only the warforged, but also the Valaes Tairn -- can be summed up as [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Klingon]] Vietcong [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Rider of Rohan]] BloodKnight Elves with [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon double-bladed scimitars]].
*** Hello! Lady Vol, a half green dragon elf lich.
*** And Halfling Barbarians who ride dinosaurs. Some of whom are expert healers or hosteliers.
** If you combine different ''TabletopGame/D20Modern'' Sourcebooks, you can get an elf who is also a [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetically enhanced]] {{mutant}} {{cyborg}} mage, fighting against cybernetic demons, mutated orcs, and superviruses.
** Parodied in ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'''s Magazine/{{Dragon}} strips with the Snail, a vampiric half-dragon half-troll lycanthropic fiendish snail with psionic powers, which had a faintly excessive challenge rating from all its templates despite being a ''goddamn snail''.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' In the beginning the Sun, the Moon and the stars got tired of their EldritchAbomination bosses, so they sent Gilgamesh, Enkidu, The Doctor, and the entire cast from Avatar the Last Airbender(as well as the cast of Legend of Korra). After killing some of them and becoming ghosts, the rest were horribly mutilated and imprisoned in Azathoth. Now it is fire-breathing cyborg dinosaur precursors with super science vs. communist ninja robots with lightsabers from outer space! It's a game where Cuchulain is riding around in a Gundam to fight Vincent Valentine, who has been enslaved by Emperor Palpatine, while John Talbain and an army of Celts is going to war with the Roman Legions, who are led by the cast of Ranma 1/2. And the spawn of Queen Mab and the Joker want to make the world into a toxic rainbow slush. Meanwhile, Nyarlathotep gives Peter Parker some of his and others superpowers so they can all break out of Azathoth which is now a prison. If it's cool, then it's supposed to be ganked and put into the game! In other words, Best. RPG. Ever. There's a martial art for sadomasochist lesbian stripper ninjas.
* ''TabletopGame/FengShui'' is crazy with this. Where else can you find sorcerous kung fu cops, cyborg monkeys who like to BLOW THINGS UP, transformed animal assassins involved in an AncientConspiracy, creepy {{Magitek}}-modified cyborg demon {{Super Soldier}}s from the future, [[MultiArmedAndDangerous eight-armed]] [[DemonSlaying demon-hunting]] GirlsWithGuns, a SinisterMinister with a gun-laden church/fortress and a cyborg arm that shoots out razor-edged silver crucifixes, a giant monster mecha left over from WWII in a hidden base in Hong Kong and much, much more? And that's all ''before'' you turn your players loose.
* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}''. It's considered handy for crossover campaigns, so...
** One of the common jokes used about the system involves [[http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/File:MPost595-153420369_964cba40e7.jpg coming up with silly game ideas]] as the game is so well made they could actually be done.
*** "GURPS. Because who wouldn't want to be able to play a [[PsychicPowers Psychic]] [[{{Mutants}} Mutant]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampiric]] [[RecycledInSpace Space]] [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Were]][[HairRaisingHare Bunny]] fighting the [[TheLegionsOfHell legions]] of [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]] on Literature/{{Discworld}}?"
* In ''Warmachine'', set in the ''TabletopGame/IronKingdoms'', the nation of Cryx consists of {{NinjaPirateZombieRobot}}s... ruled by a ''CaptainErsatz Franchise/{{Godzilla}}!''
* This is in large part the appeal of the ''TabletopGame/LegendSystem'', which features a Ninja Pirate Zombie ''Franchise/KamenRider'' as one of the ''saner'' possible character builds.
** If you're willing to be a ghoul or skeleton instead of an actual zombie, you can have a LITERAL Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot with I Am Ten Ninjas/Swashbuckler/Undead/Sentient Construct. Better yet, this is a completely legal build for a character to take.



* Characters in ''TabletopGame/MaidRPG'' can easily end up as this, depending on what you roll and how many special qualities you use. If you're willing to try for it, it's perfectly possible to have, for instance, a Zombie Catgirl Spider Demon.
* In a word: ''TabletopGame/{{Monsterpocalypse}}''. In more words: [[Franchise/{{Gundam}} Gundams]] versus [[Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds the Martians]] versus [[Creator/HPLovecraft Cthulhu and friends]] versus [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} the Tyranids]] versus Franchise/{{Godzilla}} and friends versus Yakuza Series/{{Ultram|an}}en.

* ''TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness'' still has a few cases of this.
** ''TabletopGame/HunterTheVigil'' has a faction of vigilante ''hippies'', for Cain's sake.
** ''TabletopGame/GeniusTheTransgression'' warns the reader that overuse of this Trope brings {{Narm}} -- however, [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Zombie]] [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethI Queen Elizabeth]] with her {{Flaming|Sword}} {{Katana|sAreJustBetter}} and her [[CoolCar Lamborghini]] is very much SoBadItsGood.
* ''TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness'':
** In the early days, they published a few modules featuring Sam Haight, a ghoul/werewolf/mage whom, {{Game Master}}s were told, the player characters were not allowed to kill. After a while even his creators got tired of him, killed him off, and then casually mentioned that his soul had been forged into an ashtray in the underworld.
** ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'':
*** The Giovanni, a vampiric Mafia clan with a history of necromantic practices.
*** A MadeOfIron VoluntaryShapeshifting [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire]] AdventurerArchaeologist {{Only Sane|Man}} FlatEarthAtheist, a badass [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething princess]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire]] with SuperStrength and [[CastingAShadow powers over darkness]], a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire]] MagicKnight ChurchMilitant MadOracle ''with [[GoodHurtsEvil True Faith]]'', a GenderBender [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire]] MadArtist / [[MadDoctor Doctor]]...
** ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'' gave us the Stargazers, a tribe of enlightened martial artist ''werewolves''.
** ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension'':
*** The Akashic Brotherhood, who can [[Series/{{Firefly}} kill you with their brain]] but [[FullContactMagic prefer to do it with kung fu]].
*** The heroes were a collection of pointy-hat wizards, computer hackers, wiccans, kung fu messiahs, mad scientists, shamans, religious zealots, magical stoners, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and the Euthanatos]].



* The whole point of ''[[TabletopGame/ProseDescriptiveQualities Monkey Ninja Pirate Robot]]'' - but with [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys monkeys]] instead of zombies!
** There are zombies in the expansion.



* TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}} is prone to this. Cyborg orks alongside dwarf shamans and elf hackers, anyone?
* The card game ''[[TabletopGame/SmashUp Smash Up]]'' is built around the concept of “Are Pirate Ninjas better than Wizard Dinosaurs or Zombie Robots? Let’s find out!” Each player gets two mini-decks, each based on a theme (ninjas, pirates, zombies, robots, etc) and shuffles them together to create his play deck. During playtesting, the name of the game was even "PNZR" (for "pirate ninja zombie robot").
* ''TabletopGame/TeenagersFromOuterSpace'', an 80s game based on {{Anime}}, pits the characters in an alternate Earth where high schools are overrun with aliens -- every kind you can imagine -- and teenage humans head to the mall to buy dangerous weaponry in order to wage wars with their classmates. The only rules, besides the bare game mechanics, are the ones that the GM chooses to impose, so it wouldn't be uncommon to see a telepathic raygun-wielding teddybear driving a flying saucer down Main Street while listening to Music/ThePrettyThings.
** Can you get subjected to [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 tor]]-[[Film/TeenagersFromOuterSpace CHA?]]

* In TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering, the ability changeling gives a creature all creature types. This includes Ninja, Pirate, Zombie, and unfortunately just Construct. Also The Simic Combine is this in spades, with creature types like Fish Crab Beast and Elf Lizard Wizard.
** Also, some enchantments and artifacts could give your creature additional types in addition, either as a "side job" (like Pirate or Knight), or by modifying/resurrecting it as something else (Artifact, Zombie). Combined with already impressive number of types on some cards, it could lead to things like "Artifact Pirate Siren Knight Zombie Wizard".

Added DiffLines:

** Unfortunately for weird creature combinations, R&D are often limited by the amount of physical space on the typeline of a card; generally, once you get past 2-3 creature types, you run out of room for more on the base card, particularly if it's a Legendary creature.

Added DiffLines:

** Also, some enchantments and artifacts could give your creature additional types in addition, either as a "side job" (like Pirate or Knight), or by modifying/resurrecting it as something else (Artifact, Zombie). Combined with already impressive number of types on some cards, it could lead to things like "Artifact Pirate Siren Knight Zombie Wizard".

** Necrons could be considered the very page title. The zombie robot part has been explained, wraiths are quite similar to ninjas in their stealth and material phasing abilities, and Necrons often partake in pirate raids. In fact, being formed from a race called the Necrontyr, Necrons are ''alien'' zombie robots. Fifth edition even gave a Necron, Thaszar the Invincible, a pirate that hacked the stasis program and reprogrammed/brainwashed a world full of Necrons into thinking he was their rightful ruler and forming a new fleet and crew for raids, giving us a canon example of alien pirate zombie robots.

One of the many dangers of SpecialSnowflakeSyndrome.



** The ultimate example of this trope came from a specific thread on the Dungeons & Dragons character optimization boards. The end result was A Zombie Ninja Pirate Jedi with a Demonic Cyborg Midget Monkey Schoolgirl sidekick and a small crew of Mutant Zombie Sea Bass, riding in a Transforming Robot Dinosaur, armed with Lightsabers and Eye Lasers. Sadly, the design was considered too dangerous to ever create as it could easily destroy the world.

Now it is Fire-breathing cyborg dinosaur precursors with super science vs Communist ninja robots with lightsabers from outer space! It's a game where Cuchulain is riding around in a Gundam to fight Vincent Valentine, who has been enslaved by Emperor Palpatine, while John Talbain and an army of Celts is going to war with the Roman Legions, who are led by the cast of Ranma 1/2. And the spawn of Queen Mab and the Joker want to make the world into a toxic rainbow slush. Meanwhile, Nyarlotep gives Peter Parker some of his and others superpowers so they all can breakout of Azathoth which is now a prison. If it's cool, then it's supposed to be ganked and put into the game! In other words, Best. RPG. Ever. There's a martial art for sadomasochist lesbian stripper ninjas.

* While not a part of 'canon' DungeonsAndDragons, the variety of races, templates, and character classes available can result in ridiculous combinations, like a Fiendish Dragonkin Vampiric Samurai Half-Orc Fighter/Wizard/Monk/Shadowdancer. Or a sandwich. Or a chicken slaad sand witch. This is frequently the work of a Munchkin, however it's often ostensibly done for "role playing" purposes. There's even a "type pyramid" listed in one book that ranks just how hard it is to use this trope on various monster categories.
