* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' features a number of these as exotic weapons:
** The Greatbow, a slightly upgraded Longbow, is described as being at least 6ft tall while strung. While Composite Longbows can be [[HorseArcher used while mounted]] due to being less cumbersome than the regular variety, Composite Greatbows cannot.
** The Bone Bow, a similar weapon crafted from the bones and sinew of mammoths, explicitly has a spike for bracing it in the ground while shooting. Shooting a Bone Bow without proficiency takes the user's entire turn, in addition to the normal accuracy penalty.
** The Footbow is a [[WingedHumanoid raptoran]]-made bow so powerful that it requires both hands to draw, meaning it can normally be used only while the wielder is flying and gripping it with their feet.
** A number of "handheld ballistae" also exist, including the Icechucker (which shoots javelins or [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin icicles]]) and the Great Crossbow. Neither come in [[AutomaticCrossbows repeating]] varieties, however.
* Olios in ''Manhwa/{{Yureka}}'' wields an enormous bow with arrows so large that they're compared to spears.
