** In ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Genealogy of the Holy War]]'', Munnir/Gandolf, eldest son of Verdane's king Batu, would launch an invasion on Grannvale's Yngvi Castle under the orders of his father.

* ''Franchise/{{Tekken}}'': Roger [[BoxingKangaroo the boxing kangaroo]] only appears in one canonical game, and doesn't really impact the story save for one little thing: his experimentation by Mishima Zaibatsu is what attracts Jun Kazama (a wildlife conservationist) to enter the tournament, leading her to meet Kazuya Mishima and conceive Jin Kazama. In short, if not for a kangaroo, the series' central protagonist would have never been born.
