7	{{Handicapped Badass}}es in video games.
8	----
9
10	* ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'': Multiple characters in the game suffer from Oripathy, which is a fatal condition that causes the body to gradually crystallize into Originium. Nevertheless, many of them are still in combat and put up quite the fight despite their deteriorating health.
11	** [[PlayingWithFire Eyjafjalla]]'s Oripathy caused her to go deaf and she is mentioned to be nearly blind.
12	** Santalla lost an eye to Oripathy after she was stabbed in the eye by an Ursus soldier with an Originium shard.
13	** [[AnIcePerson FrostNova]] was dying from late-stage Oripathy caused by lack of treatment in addition to Originium Arts overuse. It didn't stop her from going all out in Episode 6: Partial Necrosis [[spoiler:after the Yeti Squad was killed, albeit she ends up dying from the strain.]]
14	* ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'':
15	** All assassins up until Altaïr redesigns the hidden blade are all missing a finger, but they're still very good at their job.
16	** Malik from ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI'' loses an arm early on and yet later leads only ''four'' fellow assassins against a small army. Successfully. With him ''fighting in the front.'' The small army was composed of ''fellow assassins'' who were BrainwashedAndCrazy at the time. So, Malik takes on a small army of men who have received the ''exact same training'' that he has, and he ''still'' kicks their asses. And considering that he preceded the ass-kicking of said army with a BigDamnHeroes moment by saving [[MemeticBadass Altaïr]].
17	** Although not actually in-game, the short cinematic 'Embers' has [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII Ezio]] kicking as much ass as ever, even as an old, sick man.
18	* Asura from ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' occasionally loses his arms after getting beat down enough or fights with such anger his arms will physically break off. Despite weakening greatly as far as offensive power is concerned, he doesn't slow down at all.
19	* ''VideoGame/BackyardSports'': Kenny Kawaguchi can, in a wheelchair, kick a football farther than most NFL players.
20	* The Abramovici Twins from ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity''. Despite both of them lacking an arm, they are the toughest enemies in the game, except for TITAN Henchmen (Titan is a special drug that turns the user into a massive, hulking beast) and bosses.
21	* From ''VideoGame/{{Battleborn}}'':
22	** Benedict the [[BirdPeople Buteonen Aviant]] has one wing that's crippled and requires an Aviary Exosuit to enable him to glide but he's still able to kick ass.
23	** Pendles the [[SnakePeople Roa]] lost an eye and his right tentacle had to be replaced with a prosthetic arm when it naturally molted off, however, Pendles' still just as deadly an assassin despite these handicaps.
24	* [[AmbiguouslyEvil Evil?]] [[EvilCripple Cripple]] "Bendy" from ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' has a twisted foot that causes him to limp. This doesn't stop him from being the fastest thing in the studio -- likely due to his demonic nature and being an EldritchAbomination. If that weren't enough to overcome his limp, he can also use ink to teleport, and thus pop up anywhere. In combat, he can [[spoiler: rip off heads]] and OneHitKill [[PlayerCharacter Henry]]. He doesn't even need to notice lesser ink beings to kill them -- the tendrils of ink that cover the rooms and hallways when he's around do that on touch. "Bendy" also has vision problems due to ink constantly dripping down his face. However, he's noted for his exceptional hearing and ''will'' find and chase Henry. Basically, he's TheDreaded, and an encounter with him is RunOrDie.
25	* A word of advice to any and all ''Videogame/{{Bloodborne}}'' players: If you see an old man in a wheelchair, ''do not underestimate him''. Best case scenario, he'll [[MoreDakka stuff you full of lead]] or [[FireBreathingWeapon set your sorry arse on fire]]. Worst case scenario? [[spoiler: He'll be Gehrman, who on top of being chairbound is also missing a leg, and will mutilate you with his [[SinisterScythe Burial]] [[SinisterScimitar Blade]] and blast a hole through you with his [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Blunderbuss.]]]]
26	* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'': Pandora is a DeathWorld. Being a badass is a requirement for staying there for any amount of time, so any handicapped character you come across automatically qualifies for this trope. One of the first examples you encounter is T.K. Baha, who is blind and missing a leg, yet he's able to sit around outside his house and enjoy the fresh air despite the [[EverythingTryingToKillYou Skags, Rakks and Bandits around him.]] [[spoiler: Unfortunately, he's not very good against Psychos, which is where the poor bastard meets his end.]] Another one (non-combat example) is Patricia Tannis, who has Asperger's Syndrome worsened by almost complete isolation, yet manages to survive both the original game and the sequel. ''VideoGame/TalesFromTheBorderlands'' has Rhys, a WhiteCollarWorker turned ActionSurvivor after he and his best friend Vaughn came to Pandora to try and get a vault key, whose [[ArtificialLimbs right arm is cybernetic.]]
27	* ''VideoGame/BugFables'' has bandit leader Astotheles who lost an arm [[spoiler: fighting the Dune Scorpion who attacked the hideout]]. This does not stop him from being one of the toughest boss fights in the game.
28	* For a ''very'' generous definition of the term, the titular VideoGame/CaptainNovolin. Despite his Type 1 Diabetes that he continually has to manage, he's still able to get out there, drive speedboats, climb mountains and [[GoombaStomp put both of his red boots to many craniums]] in order to rescue Mayor Gooden and put a stop to the aliens' antics
29	* The Superfan in ''VideoGame/CitizensOfEarth'' is a young girl in a wheelchair. While she's one of the weakest characters and her battling role tends more towards support and buffing, she stills throws her lot against an alien invasion.
30	* In ''VideoGame/CrusaderKingsII'', losing an eye, hand, or leg only reduces characters' ''personal'' combat skill, which just affects the outcomes of duels and tournaments. They can still be superb battlefield commanders.
31	* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'':
32	** Knight Artorias severely broke his arm before the events that lead to your meeting. This simply means that he could not use his great shield and has to wield his greatsword one-handed ([[SituationalHandSwitch it's not even his good hand either]]) Does this stop him from somersaulting halfway across the arena to slam that sword into your head over and over again? Nope.
33	** Ironically, Hawkeye Gough, another one of the Four Knights of Gwyn, is {{blind\|Weaponmaster}}, and according to himself, {{retired\|Badass}}. Neither of these facts stops him from shooting down a dragon because it won't stay in one place. It's implied he's not ''actually'' blind -- the description of his helmet says that the eyeholes have been plugged up, so he may just ''think'' he's blind since he never takes it off -- but [[DistinctionWithoutADifference that's just semantics]] since he still can't see out of it.
34	** The Twin Princes Lothric and Lorian in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' are both crippled (Lothric was cursed and has been incredibly frail his entire life, Lorian is mentally damaged to the point he can't speak or use his legs due to sharing his brother's curse). This does not stop them from being a brutally effective SiblingTeam more than capable of wiping their boss chamber with you.
35	* ''VideoGame/DeadIsland2'':
36	** Amy has a prosthetic leg but can kick just as much ass as the other Slayers. Her reason for wanting to get out of Los Angeles instead of waiting it out is that she's qualified for the Paralympics tryout next week.
37	** Jacob is blind in his right eye, but his limited field of vision doesn’t stop him from slaying his way through Hell-A.
38	* Pox from the first ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans'', and in the sequels after he gets destroyed and gets his [[BrainUploading consciousness stored in a [=HoloPox=] Unit.]]
39	* The [[spoiler: Inquisitor]] from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' becomes this following the conclusion of the epilogue DLC ''Trespasser.'' [[spoiler:With the Anchor mark growing increasingly unstable, [[TricksterGod Solas/Fen'Harel]] is forced to cut their arm off to prevent the Anchor from overwhelming and killing them. Even then Solas implies that the Inquisitor is LivingOnBorrowedTime anyways due to the Anchor's damage to his/her body. Still, it doesn't seem to let the lack of half an arm phase them even a bit; the next scene is of the Inquisitor striding into the Exalted Council with one arm of their jacket neatly pinned up, where they deliver either an epic RousingSpeech or a scathing TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the Council, and either pledge to serve as the Divine's personal honor guard to keep the peace, or disband completely. The scene ''after'' that involves them vowing to stop Solas' [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt plans]] at all costs. Even without their arm and regardless of the Inquisition's fate, it's clear that the Inquisitor is far from being done. Certain ending sliders also show that they replace their arm with a [[ArmCannon crossbow mounted on the stump]].]]
40	* GSD from ''VideoGame/DungeonFighterOnline'' is a blind, retired swordsman, but an insanely capable one. You get one EscortMission with him, but his level is so far above all of the enemies in the tower you have to travel through that ''you'll'' feel like the one who's being escorted.
41	* In ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'', thanks to [[SubsystemDamage the combat system]], anyone can become this including yourself in Adventure Mode and your dwarves in Fortress Mode. All you need is a crutch ([[ImprobableWeaponUser preferably a heavy, metallic one]]) and enough time to grind crutch walking and you are back up fighting against the best of them, or you can just crawl around and slay [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever megabeasts]], although it will be difficult because of your reduced speed.
42	* Xiahou Dun from ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' would also count: after being shot in the eye with an arrow, he plucked it out (arrow '''and''' eye) and proceeded to ''eat his own eyeball in plain view of enemy soldiers.'' Badass. Dun, minus one eye, tracked down the poor sod who had fired the arrow and killed him.
43	* VideoGame/{{Echocalypse}}: Nephthys was paralyzed from the waist down by a bomb that nearly killed her, but even in her wheelchair, she can kick a lot of asses, being one of the more powerful [=CASEs=] in the Nebu Alliance.
44	* ''VideoGame/EldenRing'':
45	** [[Characters/EldenRingMalenia Malenia, Blade of Miquella]], is an [[TheChosenOne Empyrean]] harbouring the divine [[MysticalPlague Scarlet Rot]]. While this makes her a potential WalkingWasteland, she is not immune to the Rot's effects herself, and it has taken a heavy toll on her body: she has lost her [[EyeScream eyes]], her sword arm, most of her left leg, ''and'' a third of her right leg, and had to replace the lost limbs with prosthetics.[[note]]which had to be made out of unalloyed UsefulNotes/{{gold}} to contain the Rot -- which, if you know how just ''heavy'' gold is, suggests she's been undergoing ImposedHandicapTraining for most of her life[[/note]] None of this gets in the way of her reputation as the WorldsBestWarrior, nor does it stop her from being the game's ultimate {{Superboss}}.
46	** Malenia learned all she knew from another exemplar of this trope, the Blind Swordsman. The Blind Swordsman is a lore figure who was, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin blind]] and may have also had a prosthetic arm, and yet managed to seal away the Scarlet Rot with the aid of a fairy.
47	** When you meet [[Characters/EldenRingRadahn Starscourge Radahn]], he's long been diminished by the Scarlet Rot, which shows by the fact that he's a mid-game boss despite having been Malenia's equal in the past. Also, both of his feet are gone. This does not stop him from holding the celestial bodies and destiny itself in place, putting up a significant fight as the ClimaxBoss of several quetlines, or [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments still caring for his horse, Leonard]].
48	* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
49	** Tiber Septim, the {{founder\|OfTheKingdom}} of the Third Tamriellic Empire who [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascended after his death]] as [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Talos]], the Ninth Divine, could use the power of the Thu'um early in his campaigns. He used it to "shout down" the walls of Old Hroldan, which earned him much attention and acclaim. However, a failed assassination attempt left him with his throat slashed and unable to speak in more than a whisper. He still completed his conquest of Tamriel (with the help of the [[HumongousMecha Numidium]] at the end). He would, of course, also later ascend to Godhood.
50	** The Moth Priests, members of the Cult of the Ancestor Moth, dedicated to Julianos, the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Aedric Divine]] of Knowledge, are tasked with keeping and reading the eponymous [[TomeOfEldritchLore Elder Scrolls]]. Even with their special protective rituals, repeated readings of the Scrolls will render them blind. Blinded Moth Priests are sent into retirement, but despite this handicap, are still quite capable of defending themselves in combat.
51	** Several famous heroes have been missing an eye. St. Jiub is one famous example, as well as Hakon One-Eye and Olaf One-Eye from [[HornyVikings Nordic]] history. A massive scar over one eye is often a frequent option for {{Player Character}}s during creation, and it doesn't hinder them a bit.
52	* ''VideoGame/ElohimEternalTheBabelCode'':
53	** In the prologue, a young Judge is angered at Tovit's presence and attacks him because the latter's daughter deserted her troops. Tovit, who is dying of lung cancer, easily knocks the Judge down.
54	** After Joshwa loses his arm, Lamech gives him a spear that's suitable for being used one-handed, allowing Joshwa to maintain his battle performance.
55	* The main protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Endoparasitic}}'', Cynte, has one of his arms and both of his legs torn off by the game's parasitic monsters at the start of the game, alongside being forced to use medication throughout the game to avoid being infected himself. Being limited to crawling across the ground with his remaining hand for movement, however, doesn't stop them from being able to gun down waves of monsters all by himself.
56	* ''VideoGame/TheEndTimesVermintide'' and ''VideoGame/VermintideII'' have two among the BadassCrew:
57	** The veteran [[TheWitchHunter Witch Hunter]] Victor Saltzpyre was blinded in one eye sometime in his long campaign against the [[RatMen Skaven]].
58	** Sienna Fuegonasus the Battle Wizard mentions in passing that she's hearing-impaired.
59	* Kala Kapur in ''VideoGame/{{Evolve}}''. She's blind in her left eye and has to wear an exoskeletal life support system to prevent her immune system from failing completely. It still doesn't stop her from fighting giant flesh-eating monsters.
60	* ''Franchise/FarCry'':
61	** The PlayerCharacter in ''VideoGame/FarCry2'' ends up catching malaria shortly after arriving in the Unnamed African Country. Doesn't stop them from fighting both sides of the civil war.
62	** [[BloodKnight Jason Brody]] in ''VideoGame/FarCry3'' [[spoiler:loses a finger at the hands of [[AmoralAfrikaner Hoyt Volker]]. But as he himself tells Hoyt, "[[BadassBoast I don't need ten fingers to use a knife]]!"]]
63	** The [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Blood Dragons]] from ''VideoGame/FarCry3BloodDragon'' are nearly blind due to lacking the RequiredSecondaryPowers to immunize their eyes against their EyeBeams. But since they have, as mentioned, '''EyeBeams''', in addition to having SuperSenses in other regards, and being gigantic armour-plated reptile monsters, [[RuleOfCool who cares]]?
64	** Quite a few characters in ''VideoGame/FarCryPrimal''. Wogah the Crafter (basically TheBlacksmith, but prehistoric)? [[AnArmAndALeg He lost his lower left arm]] when the [[CannibalTribe Udam cut it off for dinner]]. Karoosh the [[BoisterousBruiser Warrior]]? [[EyeScream His right eye got scratched out]] by the same Udam who [[OutlivingOnesOffspring killed his son]]. Dah the [[TheBigGuy Udam]]? He's sick with "[[DiseaseByAnyOtherName skull fire]]" like most of his people. Doesn't stop him from being ThatOneBoss when you confront him at Big Darwa Fort.
65	** Cheeseburger the grizzly from ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' was first found eating leftover burgers from a fast food joint. [[TruthInTelevision This gave him diabetes, as happens to bears that eat burgers in real life]], but in spite of being diabetic, Cheeseburger is still '''[[BearsAreBadNews a grizzly bear]]''', with all the power that comes with it.
66	* ''VideoGame/FearAndHungerTermina'': Olivia has to use a wheelchair as a result of several strokes that affected her spine, whereas Daan ripped out his own left eye as part of a ritual. Both are capable of surviving Termina just as easily as the able-bodied playable characters.
67	* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
68	** Quite a few people from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. [[IntellectualAnimal Red XIII]] is missing an eye. Barret is missing an arm [[spoiler:(as is Dyne)]]. Everyone else is mentally unstable.
69	** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', [[spoiler:Y'shtola goes blind in ''Heavensward'' as a result of being trapped in TheLifestream for an extended period of time. She compensates with a technique that allows her to [[AuraVision "see" aether]], but this technique [[CastFromLifespan is steadily reducing her lifespan]]. Even without her eyesight, however, she is among the most talented mages in Eorzea. To a lesser degree, Thancred, who was also trapped in the Lifestream with Y'shtola, managed to escape with his eyesight intact, but [[DePower completely lost his ability to manipulate aether]], such that when he becomes a Gunbreaker in ''Shadowbringers'', he needs help from others to provide aether cartridges for his gunblade ([[GameplayAndStoryIntegration which carries over into the Trust System, as without certain party members, he cannot use most of his skillset]]).]]
70	** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'', [[spoiler:Ignis goes blind a little over halfway through the game. By the end, following a TimeSkip, he becomes accustomed enough to his blindness that he regains the ability to move and fight as well as when he could see]].
71	* The final boss in ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' is an old man... who races around in a wheelchair shooting the twin rocket launchers he strapped to it!
72	* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
73	** After [[spoiler:accidentally killing his wife Elena in a magically induced rage]], Greil of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'' cut the tendons in his dominant hand to ensure he'd never wield a sword again. Even with his skills hampered, he's still a total badass with his humongous axe, with one villain even stating that "he fights like a demon!"
74	** [[spoiler:Queen Emmeryn]] in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' becomes this after their Spotpass chapter. [[spoiler:Her (ultimately failed) HeroicSuicide at the end of Chapter 9 has left her with TraumaInducedAmnesia and brain damage so severe that even putting together simple sentences heavily strains her. Despite this, she manages to be one of the best healer/support characters in the game.]]
75	** Saizo and Niles from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' each [[EyeScream lost an eye]] in separate but very, ''very'' messy incidents in their pasts. Neither is stopped by such facts, with Saizo as a very badass HighlyVisibleNinja who has the absolute trust of Prince Ryoma of Hoshido and Niles as a well-known assassin who works for Prince Leo of Nohr.
76	** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', on all routes save Crimson Flower, Dimitri gets his eye taken out during the five-year timeskip. It doesn't slow him down one bit, as by the time you reunite with him he's developed a habit of wiping out entire platoons of [[spoiler:Imperial]] soldiers single-handedly.
77	* Tyto the Swift from ''VideoGame/{{Gigantic}}'' is missing their left arm, but it doesn't stop them from being a LightningBruiser capable of superhuman feats of swordsmanship and acrobatics.
78	* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarAscension'': Pollux is a severely atrophied man due to being a conjoined twin to his brother Castor, having only one arm, a head and a torso. With that said, Pollux is the demigod half of the Gemini Twins and has psychokinesis as his main power. When Kratos knocks Castor out cold during the boss fight, Pollux keeps [[PowersDoTheFighting fighting using his powers]] by lifting their body with his mind and throwing everything out at the Ghost of Sparta.
79	* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'':
80	** ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' has Lester Crest, who suffers from an unidentified wasting disease that makes it painful for him to walk, and he uses a cane (or when at home, a wheelchair) to get around. He's also a criminal mastermind whose bad side is a dangerous place to be, as [[spoiler: [=LifeInvader=] CEO Jay Norris found out when Lester [[YourHeadASplode blew his head to bits on live TV]] via a rigged prototype smartphone]]. And during the "Obvious" version of the final heist, he even [[spoiler: leans out of a helicopter with a rocket launcher and blows up other attacking helis]].
81	** Wu Zi Mu (aka "Woozie") from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'' is a Triad boss who doesn't hesitate to go in guns blazing against gangs that try to muscle in on his turf and also loves to race cars. He's also blind.
82	*** [[spoiler: Revealed to be a subversion: his Triad subordinates like to rig the casino games he plays with them, and he thinks CJ must be very lucky to be able to beat him at things like blackjack. But he does have instances where his "incredible luck", as the Triads call it, allows him to beat CJ at video games and drive a sports car in an illegal rural-road street race without wrecking. He's also the best shot in the game, next to CJ himself.]]
83	* ''VideoGame/GuildWars Nightfall'' has the Sunspear leader Kormir [[GutPunch blinded by a demon early in the campaign]]. Despite being unable to fight from that point on, she remains an important guiding force for the battle against Abaddon and later becomes [[spoiler:a goddess via HeroicSacrifice]].
84	** ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'' has Taimi, a DelicateAndSickly Asuran who can barely walk due to crippling pain. To compensate for this, she modified a fully combat-capable golem chassis to carry her around and which she can pilot during battles.
85	* Baiken from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' is a badass one-armed, one-eyed swordswoman. Zato-1 is an obvious reference to Zatoichi. "One" in Japanese is "ichi".
86	** Ragna the Bloodedge, from its spiritual successor ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' is a handicapped badass whose arm is [[spoiler:an ''EldritchAbomination'']] because he lost his real one when Terumi, while possessing his brother Jin, cut it off. In ''Continuum Shift'' [[spoiler:he loses his other arm while freeing Noel from mind control and gets it replaced with an arm made of Lambda-11's components]]. During a good portion of Chronophantasma Ragna is unable to use his Azure powers, and by extension his right arm and eye, because of [[spoiler:Celica's ability to suppress seithr]].
87	* Zaird from ''VideoGame/{{Gungnir}}'' is paraplegic. He is also the final boss and deserves the status.
88	* Kat in ''VideoGame/HaloReach'' has lost her right arm, but her robotic replacement arm works so well that she's still in active service in an elite unit and the team's expert on fixing broken electronic equipment, even though she's right-handed. It does look pretty ghastly though, but nobody ever comments on it. Maybe they are [[DarkActionGirl too scared to risk it]].
89	* Take this trope and add "disturbing" in the middle and it's what you get in ''VideoGame/HauntingGround'' when you encounter [[spoiler:the final stalker, Lorenzo Belli. You'd think a crippled wheezing old man in a wheelchair wouldn't be scary or a threat, but then he starts dragging himself after you, scurrying on the ground like a spider as fast as you can run. Then you figure out that no matter what you can't hide from him, all you can do is run in desperation. ''Then'' you find out he can survive being blown up, and then minced in a rock grinder. '''''Then''''' you figure out if he catches you it's a [[OneHitKO One Hit Kill]]. To make matters worse, this is before he reveals his ability to de-age himself and drop the "handicapped" part altogether..]].
90	* Alexander Cayne in ''VideoGame/HitmanBloodMoney''. Despite needing a wheelchair, having severe burns in his face and possibly being partially paralyzed, he is tough, [[spoiler:heads an assassin agency and is surprisingly hard to fight and kill in the final mission]].
91	* ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'''s Asha only has one arm. This doesn't stop him from being a good fighter ''at all''. Being able to [[TeleportSpam teleport like crazy]] helps.
92	* ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'': [[TheHero Pit]] is an angel who does not have the ability to fly, with [[BigGood Palutena]] in ''[[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Uprising]]'' hinting at it being some sort of disability. Despite this physical limitation, Pit is still the Captain of Palutena's Army filled with centurions who ''can'' fly, and he's saved both Skyworld and the Earth multiple times across multiple games.
93	* Harman Smith of ''VideoGame/Killer7''. A wheelchair-bound old man who will destroy nearly anyone with the anti-materiel rifle he possesses on the back of his wheelchair. Con Smith as well, he's a skilled gunfighter despite being completely blind.
94	* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'':
95	** [[ColonelBadass Heidern]]. His right eye was torn out by Rugal and has since obtained an EyepatchOfPower, but it didn't stop him from kicking massive amounts of badass.
96	** In the manga ''G'' by Ryo Takamisaki, [[spoiler:Kyo Kusanagi]] almost has his eyes ripped out [[spoiler:by Benimaru, who was under MoreThanMindControl by Goenitz and after that incident, Kyo has to keep his eyes shut at all times]], but it doesn't diminish his badassness ''at all''.
97	* ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'''s Armory and Leggery is run by a man with no arms or legs, but during Zombie Slayer runs, he manages to impregnably fortify his shop against the ZombieApocalypse.
98	* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has its fair share of fighters who don't let a handicap stop them from kicking ass.
99	** The most famous is of course, Lee Sin. When Noxus invaded Ionia, Lee Sin invoked the dangerous power of the dragon, permanently blinding himself in the process. Being blind hasn't slowed him down any, as he's an elite martial artist and not to be messed with even without his sight.
100	** Lissandra likewise is without sight, having her eyes clawed out by the fearsome Freljordian Demigod Volibear. She's still a massively powerful mage, leader of the Frostguard and only thing keeping [[EldritchAbomination the Frozen Watchers]] from escaping and destroying Runeterra.
101	** A few other champs are minus just one eye, but are nonetheless fearsome fighters. Such as [[AxCrazy criminally insane murder hamster Kled]], fearsome Vastaya hunter Rengar and [[CombatAestheticist showy but lethal]] Noxian bounty hunter Samira.
102	* Louis in The Passing for ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2''. His legs are injured, so he can't run and gun to give cover as Zoey and Francis can. So what does he do? He mans the [[{{BFG}} Heavy Machine Gun]].
103	* ''VideoGame/{{LISA}} The Painful RPG'': Depending on the player's responses to Buzzo's sadistic choices, protagonist Brad can lose one or both of his arms as the game goes on. He's still a toughed, determined, fireball-throwing martial artist who can take out gangs, kill powerful bloated mutants, and climb ropes with his mouth. [[SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration It is, however, made more difficult to do so with fewer arms.]]
104	* [[spoiler: Morrighan]] in the MMORPG ''VideoGame/{{Mabinogi}}'' is in fact, blind... This does not stop [[spoiler: her]] from fulfilling [[spoiler: her]] job as the [[spoiler: Goddess of War and Vengeance]] at all.
105	* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
106	** Jeff "Joker" Moreau, the pilot of CoolStarship ''Normandy'', makes a point of how all his flight awards and commendations were ''not'' charity for his suffering from Vrolik's Syndrome, which makes his bones so brittle that he cannot walk without assistance. Good thing he doesn't need to walk for his job, then, and he lives up to his boast that he is "the best damn helmsman in the Alliance fleet", piloting the ''Normandy'' as swiftly and easily as if she were an [[Franchise/StarWars X-Wing fighter]]. [[spoiler:He ends up firing the shot that takes out EldritchAbomination Sovereign in the first game's finale.]] As if his badass-ness wasn't already established in the first game despite his brittle bones: [[spoiler:When Shepard and the Squad are evacuating from the suicide mission back to the Normandy in the second game, who do we see at the ship's door unloading a machine gun on the enemies following them?]]
107	** The quarians are a whole race of humanoids who are zipped up in life-support suits for their whole lives due to atrophied immune systems not adapted to any ecosystem other than their occupied homeworld. This doesn't stop some of them from taking up arms and getting into fights guaranteed to ''at least'' get some punctures in their suits that would risk them getting nasty infections. One of these quarians is the series' recurring squadmate, Tali'Zorah.
108	** Thane Krios does not let something like a [[YourDaysAreNumbered terminal disease]] stop him from being a deadly assassin.
109	** Nakmor Drack, of ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda''. At least, by krogan standards. Thanks to a long life of killing things, and a few moments of carelessness, he's down several of his spare organs, and even an arm. He's got cybernetics holding the rest of him together. And you'd never know watching him fight.
110	* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
111	** Big Boss lost an eye, but never lost a trace of his badassness. He becomes even cooler as an old man. Hell, the eye alone doesn't do him justice: during the ill-fated Virtuous Mission, he suffers a broken arm, multiple lacerations, and a broken rib from getting his ass kicked by The Boss and thrown off a bridge into a river. The medical officer overseeing him fully admits he should be back in intensive care rather than going on Operation Snake Eater a week later, where (not even counting injuries he can get in gameplay) he ends up getting shot in the leg with a crossbow, poisoned by spider venom, electrocuted with 10 million volts, beaten to within an inch of his life by a guy strong enough to punch massive holes in concrete, and ''then'' loses his eye. He ''still'' succeeds the mission.
112	** Old Snake. The power suit doesn't really make him superhuman, so much as gives him just enough of a muscle assist to stay in the game. Physically Snake's in his 70s despite being 42, and after the first act, he starts having seizures due to his older generation nanomachines. And in the third act, [[spoiler: half his face is burnt off]]. And he still keeps fighting, no matter how many obstacles he must face, or how many friends try to talk him out of it.
113	** Revolver Ocelot lost his arm, but it doesn't stop him from [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betraying whoever he worked for]], commanding two squads of [[AmazonBrigade Amazon Brigades]], having a one-on-one fist fight with Old Snake at the top of a submarine, and ultimately [[spoiler: [[GoodAllAlong freeing the world from the Patriots and war economy once and for all]]]]. Unlike Old Snake, Ocelot is legitimately in his 70s, and he's still as ripped as he was in his youth.
114	** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' Raiden is more artificial than organic, to the point that he runs completely on synthetic [[AlienBlood white android blood]]. [[CursedWithAwesome This does not slow him down at all]], but his real Handicapped Badass moment comes, when he has to come to Snake's rescue after ''having lost both of his arms''. Again, with hand-like cyborg feet, this [[Awesome/MetalGear doesn't slow him down at all]].
115	** Disabilities are a recurring motif throughout the appropriately named ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain The Phantom Pain]]''. Numerous characters are missing limbs, are blind, mute, etc., and makes an apt physical reminder for what Snake's lost and the cause of his RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
116	* [[MeaningfulName Kiling]] Meehilbis "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast of the Ghosts]]" in ''VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight'' is not only a Handicapped Badass due to his blindness, he's also a cool OldSoldier; yet he's the NumberTwo of the enemy mercenary brigade Valpha-Valaharian, a master [[TheStrategist strategist]], and a powerful foe in battle using a SinisterScythe. Badass indeed!
117	* Ishara is the most powerful character in the interactive romance novel ''VideoGame/{{Moonrise}}''. With a look, she can decimate any enemy. Missing an arm doesn't stop her in the least.
118	* [[Characters/MortalKombatDeadlyAlliance Kenshi Takahashi]] from ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' is a swordsman who was blinded, thanks to an evil trick by the sorcerer Shang Tsung. However, this hasn't stopped him unleashing many fatalities on his opponents.
119	* ''VideoGame/{{Mother}}'' series
120	** Duster of ''VideoGame/Mother3'' had a leg injury that gives him a serious limp, but not only can he keep up with the others, but he's also actually ''the fastest character in the game who can counter enemy ambushes and attacks by kicking''.
121	** Ninten, the main protagonist of ''VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings,'' is asthmatic, but that doesn't stop him from [[CombatMedic kicking around all manner of monsters, aliens,]] and [[AnimateInanimateObject malevolent animated objects alike]] with nothing but a [[BatterUp baseball bat]]. However, the vehicular enemies can expel exhaust that causes him to have asthma attacks, which renders him unable to act. The purchasable asthma spray can alleviate this condition.
122	* Shinobu in the ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' series, after losing her hand to Travis post-ranking fight.
123	* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'':
124	** [[TheExpyWithNoName Cole Cassidy]]. "Handicapped"? He has a prosthetic arm and implied dissociative identity disorder. "Badass"? He took on a bullet train and five helicopters worth of Talon operatives equipped with automatic weapons, with only a revolver, and won [[ImprobableAimingSkills without missing a single shot]].
125	** [[CoolOldLady Ana Amari]] is one of the best snipers in the world. When she was working for Overwatch, she had a cybernetic eye that enhanced her vision to the point where she technically didn't even need a scope anymore. However, being on the receiving end of a ScopeSnipe, courtesy of Talon operative Widowmaker has left her with only her organic left eye to aim with. [[NeverMessWithGranny Not that that stops her from kicking ass well into her 60s.]]
126	* Gage in ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2'' is a Gulf War veteran-turned-black market weapons dealer who got paralyzed from the waist down after an assassination attempt. Even when handicapped, he manages to run one of the largest weapon smuggling rings on the east coast, and he uses his handicap with a dose of ObfuscatingStupidity to stay ahead of people -- even [[TheEvilGenius Bain]] notes that he's not to be underestimated. This also hasn't stopped him from performing assassinations when necessary -- he paid his would-be assassin back, and Episode 4 of the web series shows him posing as a hobo to take his target off-guard before gunning him down.
127	* Wally from ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'' has an unspecified breathing problem (probably asthma) that's kept him homebound for most of his life. When he finally gets a Pokemon, [[JokeCharacter it's a Ralts with no attacking moves]]. Somehow, he raises it, catches five other Pokemon, and [[TookALevelInBadass makes it all the way to Victory Road unassisted]].
128	* In ''VideoGame/ProjectZomboid'', it's possible to play as a character who is ''deaf''. It makes it so you only detect flanking zombies when they are extremely close to you (basically biting range) but it also gives you a whopping 12 points to spend on positive traits. You can quite easily become a deaf GeniusBruiser or BadassBookworm with a wide range of skills.
129	* ''VideoGame/PunchOut'': [[WarmUpBoss Glass Joe]] has a, well, glass jaw, that renders him very susceptible to blows to the head. Then in [[NewGamePlus Title Defense]], he gets some headgear. And then [[TookALevelInBadass he'll most likely show you first-hand]] why you shouldn't underestimate the man who, in a so-called "freak accident", [[DefeatingTheUndefeatable took down Nick Bruiser]].
130	* ''VideoGame/TheQuarry'': [[spoiler:Dylan can go half the game with only one hand. His [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome best moment]] comes from using both a crane and a blowtorch to fight off a bloodthirsty werewolf... single-handedly. Earlier in the game, he also jury rigs a PA system to blast feedback at a werewolf and drive it away from a group of survivors.]]
131	* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'': [[spoiler:Despite being [[YourDaysAreNumbered terminally ill with tuberculosis]], Arthur Morgan still manages to hold off a large number of Pinkerton agents and later fights the healthy Micah Bell to a draw. Things may have turned out very differently indeed if Arthur had been in fit condition during the ending.]]
132	* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'':
133	** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' introduces Lickers, which are t-Virus victims that have undergone a second mutation. The mutation causes their brains to swell and take over their eye sockets, rendering them blind - but they evolve excellent hearing to compensate, and they can easily chew through unprepared characters like paper.
134	** The ''Garradores'' in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' have their eyes [[EyeScream sewed shut]]. And can nevertheless always know where Leon is by following his footsteps or his [[TheNoseKnows smell]]. Add to that sets of 2-feet long steel claws and [[LovecraftianSuperPower a homicidal parasite dwelling in their bodies]] and you have quite the badass.
135	* The same thing can be said for Zorne Sepperin of ''VideoGame/{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}''. A major difference is that what happened that caused her to gain her metal gauntlet in place of her arm seems to be a mystery (though {{Fanon}} suggests that she lost it in an accident, and one source even states that her arm got caught in a belt). While it was somewhat subverted in the first game due to her being a ButtMonkey there, she got her own badass part when she [[TookALevelInBadass took her own level in badass]] in ''Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel''.
136	* Tachibana Ukyo in ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' is suffering from tuberculosis, including having an IncurableCoughOfDeath. Doesn't stop him from stylishly kicking ass whenever a fight breaks out.
137	* Cyphr Wolfchild from fighting game ''VideoGame/{{Schwarzerblitz}}'' has lost both her arms, her right ear, and some internal organs when she was a child. Despite this, she worked hard to get an effective kick-only fighting style and, as a result, became one of the strongest characters in-game.
138	* Both Date Masamune and Chosokabe Motochika from ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' are [[EyepatchOfPower missing an eye]], but it doesn't stop them kicking copious amounts of ass, and while Masamune is acknowledged as having a blind spot, Motochika doesn't seem to care.
139	* The titular ''VideoGame/SeveredSteel'' ranks among the most agile sharpshooters ever represented in a FirstPersonShooter genre, being able to Slide, WallRun, [[VideoGameDashing dive did-air]], and jump past and flip herself upside down to shoot up MegaCorp mooks with uncanny accuracy with the help of [[BulletTime her reflexes]], and all of that with her [[AnArmAndALeg missing an arm]], which she does get to make up for it by obtaining a powerful ArmCannon.
140	* Bentley in the ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' series mixes this with GeniusCripple, becoming a better fighter than before after he became wheelchair-bound by building a bunch of stuff onto his wheelchair.
141	* Voldo from the ''VideoGame/SoulSeries''. After spending years taking care of his dead master Vercci's treasures in a cave, his eyesight is irreparably damaged, but he's still one of the most infamous characters in the game.
142	* Like in [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark the show]], Jimmy Valmer as The Bard in ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth'' is not only TheDreaded who is known and feared by the warriors of Kupa Keep, but also serves as the [[WakeUpCallBoss first genuinely difficult boss]] in the game. He also manages to be a decent ally when he's in your party, able to use buffs and debuffs to great effect and possessing a ranged attack that can hit any enemy for moderate damage. This is all in spite of his crutches and crippled legs.
143	* ''VideoGame/StarOcean1'': Crutch character he may be, Ashley is 50-60 years old and has only one good arm (crippled in the original, but in the remake it was outright "forcibly amputated") yet he can still keep up with the rest of the party and go head to head with some of the nastiest monsters Planet Roak has to offer.
144	* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
145	** Oro, the one-armed OldSoldier from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'', subverts this since the one-armed thing is deliberate -- his other arm is hidden behind the knot in his shirt. He's never met anyone who ''deserves'' both arms.
146	** Sagat aka [[RedBaron "the Emperor of Muay Thai"]] is one of the most feared and respected fighters in the whole world despite lacking an eye.
147	** Gen once fought ''Shin Akuma'' to a standstill despite suffering from leukemia.[[note]]In fairness, Akuma stopped fighting when he realized Gen was ill. It still didn't stop Gen from surviving a Shun Goku Satsu ([[DubNameChange Raging Demon]]).[[/note]] Hell, the fact that Gen had lived at a terminal level for 10-15 years (or however much time passed between ''Alpha 3'' and ''IV'') by sheer determination to die in battle rather than succumb to his illness has to count.
148	* MOBA game ''VideoGame/{{Strife}}'' features Claudessa, a warrior who lost her arm slaying a dragon, Silvertongue. She took the dragon's claw as a weapon and uses a shield in place of her missing arm. Fittingly enough for this trope, she is arguably [[CharacterTiers the most powerful hero available to play.]]
149	* ''VideoGame/SuperFighter'': The ninja Onimaru, despite having lost a leg (and having it replaced with a peg leg), needing a staff as a makeshift cane, and having taken serious injuries to his head (needing cybernetics to replace his left eye and metal plating around the parts of his face surrounding his lost eye), he can still hold his own against all the other fighters of the cast.
150	* Calvina Coulange from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsJudgment'' suffered severe nerve damage to her arms when the AbusivePrecursors known as the Furies attacked the Moonbase she was stationed at, but she's just as capable a pilot as she ever was once she gets her hands on an alien mech with a brainwave interface.
151	* Hobyrim from ''VideoGame/TacticsOgre'' kills 2 ninjas in his first scene. He is also blind. KatanasAreJustBetter indeed.
152	* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'':
153	** Regal Bryant of ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', formerly a martial artist of tremendous strength and skill, [[spoiler:was forced to kill his girlfriend and]] swore he would never take another life with his own hands. Later, someone else convinced him to treat the oath more literally and fight with his feet instead. Naturally, he's still one of the most powerful combatants in the game, and on top of that, he happens to be [[spoiler:a culinary genius, a philanthropist, and the President of one of the most powerful corporations in the world]].
154	** Milla Maxwell from ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia''. [[spoiler:Some ways into the game, she has an [[ExplosiveLeash explosive strapped to her ankle]] that will detonate if she crosses a barrier in an enemy stronghold. When she sees [[BigBad King Nachtigal]] [[MotiveRant gloating about how he's going to serve his country by enslaving all others]], not only does she cross the barrier before the ankle bracelet explodes, she actually [[OhCrap shocks him]] into getting [[CurbStompCushion a brief bit of damage]]. The incident costs Milla the use of her legs. [[{{Determinator}} Not that it slows her down much]]. At one point, when [[DuelBoss Jude and her handmaid Ivar are slugging it out over who's going to save her]], she [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere has enough of their posturing, and starts trying to crawl towards a ship]].]]
155	** Dezel from ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria'' is blind, but is just as capable in battle as the rest of the party. He claims he knows the world around him by feeling it on the wind, a natural ability of his as a [[BlowYouAway wind seraph.]]
156	* The Demoman from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''. He's a one-eyed black Scotsman and despite his lack of a functioning liver and depth perception, he still rocks.
157	** The Demoman comes from a BadassFamily of mercenary explosives experts. All of his ancestors with his job, according to his mother, have been ''entirely blind'' by age 30. His missing eye is FridgeBrilliance as well since one of the Demoman's assets is his ability to attack outside his field of vision.
158	** His alcoholism is so severe that his BAC reached the point that he [[spoiler:gave alcohol poisoning to a bunch of ''robots'' who tried to drain his blood]]. He can also somehow ferment alcohol using his own bone marrow.
159	** The Demoman's family seal bears the following motto: [[PretentiousLatinMotto In Regionem Caecorum Rex Est Luscus]]. It means ''In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king''.
160	** One of the replacements for his grenade launcher, the bootlegger, literally [[SeadogPegLeg chops his leg off and places a wooden peg on the stump]]. What does it do? It makes him run faster and gives him better turn control while charging.
161	** Ever since the Meet the Pyro video has come out, we finally know the Pyro's mental handicap. [[SugarBowl His mind is filled with laughter, candies, and rainbows.]] Even though he thinks he's spreading joy to the world, he is actually mercilessly slaughtering his enemies.
162	** Lampshaded with the Rainblower weapon for the Pyro: "Your friends[[note]]enemies[[/note]] will squeal with delight[[note]]be consumed with fire[[/note]] when you cover them with sparkling rainbows[[note]]all consuming fire[[/note]]"
163	* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'':
164	** Patchouli Knowledge is both DelicateAndSickly and a BadassBookworm. She suffers from asthma ''and'' anemia, not at all helped by [[{{Hikikomori}} spending more than a century in her library]], and is so frail it is much easier for her to float everywhere instead of walking, but that won't stop her from unleashing {{Beam Spam}}s that are impressive even by Gensoukyou standards.
165	** Okina Matara is not merely a wheelchair user, she is ''[[DisabledDeity the God of the Disabled]]'' ([[OddJobGods among many, many other things]]) and is also, as one of the founding sages of Gensoukyou, one of the realm's most powerful residents. It's a bit questionable how well she fits into this trope, however, as WordOfGod has it that she's not so much "disabled" as she is the AnthropomorphicPersonification of disability itself.
166	* The Blind Ones race in ''VideoGame/{{Turok}} 2'' includes deadly-accurate crossbow snipers.
167	* Not-Robot Bunny from ''VideoGame/UltimateChickenHorse'' is in a wheelchair (due to being a reskin of the default Bunny, who is a robot with wheels). This doesn't affect its ability to navigate deadly obstacle courses, and it plays just like the other able-bodied animals.
168	* Undyne from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' is openly stated to be one of the biggest badasses in the game. She is very HotBlooded and [[spoiler:able to outright resist dying]]. She is also missing her left eye.
169	* ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'':
170	** In ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonOne'', Lee's right knee gets injured in the police car crash, giving him a noticeable limp in the first episode that causes him trouble, and he stumbles. A lot. [[spoiler:Lee can also have his arm cut off in episode five to stop the spread of the zombie infection. He still goes to find Clementine, who's in danger, and makes his way through zombie-infested Atlanta, jumping through rooftops and climbing.]]
171	** ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonTwo'': [[spoiler:[[KnightTemplarParent Kenny]] loses his eye in an altercation with Carver. Doesn't slow him down in the slightest.]]
172	** ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonThree'': [[spoiler:If you've choosen the "Go alone" ending in season two, Clementine will be missing a piece of her ring finger, due to having it accidentally jammed by doors of an abandoned car. It's implied she [[SelfSurgery amputated it herself.]]]]
173	** ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonFour'': [[spoiler:In episode two, you can only save one person from being taken away during the Delta raid on the school, Violet or Louis. If you didn't save Louis, [[TongueTrauma he will have his tongue cut out, essentially making him unable to speak]], while Violet will [[DullEyesOfUnhappyness get blinded]] in episode three. The one you DID save might have their [[{{Fingore}} finger cut off]]. Clementine herself will always end up having her leg cut below the knee in episode four. Despite all that, all three are still competent fighters and valued community members.]]
174	* Birdie, the leader of the Turnbull AC's skinhead gang in the video-game adaptation of ''VideoGame/TheWarriors''. He uses a wheelchair and can only defend himself by using a gun -- and his followers are STILL intimidated by him. ("Why don't you use your goddamn good legs of yours and FETCH ME A FUCKING SIX-PACK!")
175	* Lucky from ''VideoGame/{{Whacked}}'' is a rabbit that has no feet, but he is a very intimidating character in the game. [[spoiler:This includes Van Tastic, who is actually the devil.]]
176	* ''VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}}'':
177	** In ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder'', we have Caroline Becker, who is paralyzed from the waist down, but organizes a formidable resistance movement against the Nazi regime. [[spoiler:She later actively joins the fray when she downs a [[PoweredArmor Da'at Yichud power suit]] which allows her to move as well as, if not better than, an an able-bodied soldier.]]
178	** In ''VideoGame/WolfensteinIITheNewColossus'', B.J. Blazkowicz starts off severely injured and wheelchair-bound, but is still perfectly capable of killing Nazis. He later dons PoweredArmor to help him continue fighting the Nazis. [[spoiler:It's the same power suit that Caroline wore before she was killed.]]
179	* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'':
180	** Farseer Nobundo is not a draenei shaman; as a former [[ThePaladin vindicator]] who [[IronWoobie narrowly survived]] a SelfSacrificeScheme and went through several sorts of [[ShellShockedVeteran hell]] after the fact, he is ''[[Awesome/{{Warcraft}} the]]'' draenei shaman. That said, he's also a gimpy, arthritic Krokul.
181	** The blind shaman Drek'thar commands Frostwolf forces against the Stormpike dwarves in Alterac Valley and is a pretty tough boss. He's a major Horde figure both in lore and in-game, and he only becomes more awesome in ''Warlords of Draenor'', where he buries a whole contingent of Iron Horde soldiers in a landslide.
182	** The entire Shattered Hand clan fits the bill, who have all cut off one of their own hands and replaced them with a blade. Their leader, Kargath Bladefist, is quite possibly the most feared orc of them all.
183	** Zul'jin, the leader of the Amani trolls until ''Cataclysm'', was captured by his enemies the high elves, and tortured horrifically. They put out one of his eyes, and to escape, he cut off his own arm. Doesn't stop him from being one of the more difficult bosses in ''Burning Crusade.''
184	** Lor'themar Theron lost one of his eyes in a battle against the Scourge during the Third War. Kilrogg Deadeye, meanwhile, followed the traditions of his clan and put out one of his eyes to be granted a vision of his own death.
185	** ''Dragonflight'' adds Sansok Khan of the Clan Shikaar centaur on the Ohn'ahran Plains. She's been deaf since birth, but it doesn't slow her down; with a little help from her guide dog and her sign language interpreter, she's a skilled hunter, a strong warrior, and a capable leader to her clan.
186	* Dunban in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' injured his right arm in a battle that took place a year before the game's story began. Regardless, he springs right back into action for the purpose of protecting his hometown and friends when the need arises and does a really good job at it. He manages to completely cripple that arm in doing so, but he just comes right back using his left arm for sword-work. He also doesn't have any issues climbing up cliffs with only his left arm.
187	** Shulk follows suit in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3FutureRedeemed'', having lost the entirity of his right arm prior to the start of the expansion. Just like his mentor, he switched to his left hand as is just as skilled as before.
188	* ''VideoGame/Yakuza0'': Tetsu Tachibana became a gang leader at a young age by trouncing a group of four local gangsters so soundly they begged him to become their boss. He lost an arm and most of his kidney function as an adult, but that didn't slow him down an inch.
189	** Goro Majima lost an eye and spent a year being tortured for failing to follow orders. He is still one of the most feared men in the Japanese underworld, and capable of dismantling lesser men by the dozen without breaking a sweat.
