Given that the weapon works on a Western vampire, it can be assumed that these jiangshi are the same, although the number of supernatural beings in existence in this verse could indicate otherwise.

** The earliest iteration of the Chinese Vampire was the '''Oriental Vampire''' in 2nd edition. This is more a weird blend of the standard (Western) Vampire and the [[{{Obake}} Bakeneko]], with a sprinkling of Jiangshi. This vampire looks largely like its living self, save a feral cast to its features, slightly luminescent skin, and that its nails grow into massive claws, which it tends to favor over weaponry. They can't turn into mist, but can turn invisible and walk through walls. Their gaze paralyses a victim with a mesmeric effect rather than charming them. They can summon insect swarms and great cats to their aid, and transform into tigers. They are repulsed by mirrors, holy symbols, garlands of rosemary & ivy, and the scent of incense of rosemary and myrrh. They lack the ability of the "western" vampire to climb walls like a spider, but can instead levitate at will, and retain their cousin's lack of a reflection or shadow and their ability to move in complete silence. Nonmagical weapons that strike these vampires do no damage and are destroyed. They must rest in at least a cubic foot of soil from their original burial place at night; if exposed to sunlight, or prevented from sleeping in this grave-soil for nine days in a row, they are destroyed. Staking them through the heart with bamboo renders them inert; killing them requires placing blessed rosemary in the vampire's mouth and then sewing its mouth and eyes shut with golden thread using a silver needle. These vampires are largely associated with the ''Japanese''-based domain of Rokushima Taiyoo and the ''India''-based domain of Sri Raji, in large part due to the setting's only China-based domain, I'Cath, being an uninhabited wasteland.

** In the 3rd edition reboot, the aforementioned "Oriental Vampire" was renamed the '''Chiang-Shi''', but otherwise remained identical.
** In the 5th edition reboot, the '''Jiangshi''' finally debuted under its accepted name. Described as a soul trapped within its own corpse, animated by its bitterness, the jiangshi is all but paralyzed by rigor mortis, causing them to hop along with their arms outstretched. They feed on the life energy of others, which sustains them and temporarily limbers up their bodies, which grants them the ability to fly via levitation at an impressive pace. They can freely shapechange into people, animals, and other undead creatures, and are repulsed by mirrors and holy symbols. They are ''finally'' associated with I'Cath, which in this iteration of the setting is an actual populated domain.
** Adjacent to the Chiang-shi and Jiangshi is the '''Kizoku''', a monster from Rokushima Taiyoo that combines elements of the standard vampire and the incubus; though its modus operandi combines elements of both, it's not an undead creature. Appearing as handsome Japanese or Chinese men with a small mole in the shape of a black crescent moon somewhere on their body (typically a hand or face), the Kizoku seduce women into committing acts of evil, usually murdering their husband or betrothed, before sucking out their souls. There are some key differences between the 2nd and 3rd edition versions of the monster. In 2nd edition, a Kizoku merely devours the women he corrupts, and can only be slain permanently by staking him the heart with a stake made from weeping willow wood. In 3rd edition, the women whose lives are drained by the Kizoku are transformed into weeping willows. They can be restored by Wish or Miracle spells, but if someone who truly loved a Kizoku's victim finds her tree and sacrifices her by cutting it down and fashioning a weapon from its heartwood, that victim can permanently slay the Kizoku, which will instantly restore all of the Kizoku's other victims to life. The woman whose heartwood was used can only be restored with a Wish or Miracle spell.

* The Tale of the Dragon expansion for ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology'' allows chinese players who worship Zhong Kui in the Heroic Age to train Jiangshi at their temple. They are fairly strong myth units with a special attack that drains life from enemy soldiers and restores their own.

* ''VideoGame/TheBattleCats'' features Jiangshi Cat as the final form of the Pogo Cat family. [[NightmareRetardant Its mystic seal is just last month's gas bill.]] True to its undead nature, it gains a LastChanceHitPoint that lets it come back from an otherwise-fatal attack.

* Jiangshi appeared as enemies in only one level of ''VideoGame/DoubleDragonNeon''. Coincidentally, the same level has undead versions of many previous foes.
* A few of these appear in The Temple of Xi'an in ''VideoGame/FearEffect2RetroHelix''. They are invincible and can paralyze you if they hit you.
* ''[[VideoGame/HiryuNoKen Flying Warriors]]'' had jiangshi as enemies in the Chinatown level, with a giant jiangshi subboss at its end.
* ''Website/GaiaOnline'' has a "Gung Xi" set, for [[http://www.tektek.org/avatar/36354841 males]] and [[http://www.tektek.org/avatar/36354945 females.]] The shoes are described as "Special shoes built for hopping." and all the other items make references to being for dead Chinese people; it's pretty likely they're a direct reference to the Ragnarok Online [=NPCs=].

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': [[AnIcePerson Qiqi]] is described as a zombie but is based on this trope. She's significantly more "fresh"-looking than most examples of this trope; if not for the PaperTalisman on her forehead, one could easily mistake her for a living person at first glance. Being undead has also made her immortal, but she's generally unable to act without being given orders, [[UndeadChild cannot age past her childlike appearance]], and cannot make new memories, causing her to forget everything that happens to her unless she writes things down in a notebook. She also has an exercise regimen required to keep her undead muscles limber.
* Hades (''Yīnyáng pànguān'' / ''Yin-yang Judge'' in China), from the Chinese fighting game ''VideoGame/TheKillingBlade'', is an unusual example because he merges the standard film's hero and villain roles into one, as a mysterious and vengeful Taoist priest that looks and behaves as a ''jiangshi''.

For some reason, he's equipped with WolverineClaws, which is kind of strange since only half of the cast wields weapons and jiangshi tend to use their own nails as weapons. The game's engine lets him equip other characters' weapons such as [[FightingWithChucks nunchucks]] or [[SinisterScimitar scimitars]], though.
* Though this image of him has faded from ''VideoGame/MortalKombat2'' onward, [[VideoGame/MortalKombat1 the first appearance]] of Shang Tsung from ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' matched this trope well. A pale, wizened old man, he looked like a corpse; he didn't hop, but instead floated off the ground. And wouldn't you know it, his whole modus operandi is stealing souls.
** Liu Kang also counts too, since he's killed off by Shang Tsung in ''Deadly Alliance'' and his body was [[BackFromTheDead resurrected]] by Raiden as a [[CameBackWrong Jiangshi]] (Chinese zombie) monk in ''Deception'', complete with a pair of enchanted Houan chains acting as a talisman.
* ''VideoGame/LaMulana'' has jiangshi as minor enemies in the Endless Corridor.
* Tenhou from ''VideoGame/NinjaMastersHaoNinpoCho'' is blatantly based on Lam Ching-ying's stock Taoist ''jiangshi'' hunter of the 80s-90s films, down to the paper seals, wooden sword and ''bagua'' mirror.
* A family of them appear in ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'', but unlike most examples, they do have intelligence, are capable of speech and are one of the ''good'' characters. Oh, and they don't [[LifeDrain suck life]] either, that honor goes to a number of other characters including a ''Western-style vampire''.

It feeds by draining energy from the living, but if a victim survives being drained they are cursed to slowly turn into a zombie like creature that also feeds on life energy and can spread the same curse to others. The curse can only be cured by having the necromancer that created the Jianshi put it to rest, and if is destroyed by any other means then all the zombies die.

* In ''Manga/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl'', Jiang-shi are a sub-species to zombies, primarily found in Asian countries like China and Taiwan. They tend to suffer from rigor-mortis almost daily, especially after sleep, locking up their elbows and knees, forcing them to practice tai chi every day to open up their joints. Chapter 39 introduced the first named jiang-shi in the form of Shiishii.

* Since ''jiangshi'' are hopping Chinese vampires, ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' fans once quipped that SupernaturalMartialArts AnimeChineseGirl Hong Meiling - who premiered in a game of two final boss vampires - may {{Expy}} one. She doesn't get this as much anymore since fans now equate her to ''dragons''.

Oh, and they don't [[LifeDrain suck life]] either, that honor goes to a number of other characters including a ''Western-style vampire''.

* Another Taiwanese kung-fu film, ''Swift Shaolin Boxer'' (starring Angela Mao) had a cadre of kung fu fighting ''jiangshi''s who shows up in one scene and quickly dissappears, although they're later revealed to be a group of rogue martial artists posing as the undead. Their appearance qualifies as a borderline BigLippedAlligatorMoment. (Yes, it's a rather incoherent mess of a movie)

* ''Crazy Safari'', a Hong Kong-made SpinOff of the ''Film/TheGodsMustBeCrazy'' (also known as ''The Gods must be crazy 3, Vampires Must Be Crazy''). The corpse of a Chinese vampire is bought from an auction and flown with a plane to China in order to give it a proper burial. The plane crashes and a group of tribesmen (Bushmen) come across the vampire, and use it to get fruit out of a tree, by having it hop into it repeatedly. Yeah.
