* In ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'', the colour green is tied to nature. Its mana is drawn from the power of forests, it is the colour with the most efficient creatures, and it's hostile to artifacts and enchantments because they're seen as unnatural. Philosophically, it values letting nature take its course, survival of the fittest, and instinct.

* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'': Of the [[MagicAIsMagicA eight Winds of Magic]], the Green Wind governs [[GreenThumb plants]], nourishment, and fertility in the natural world, and is studied by {{Druid}}s as the Lore of Life. In contrast, the BlackMagic of Chaos is associated with a SicklyGreenGlow.

* In ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'', Cal's hair and outfits are mostly green, and he works as a gardener and rancher at Geoponics.

Characters that are InHarmonyWithNature or closely associated with it, like a NatureSpirit, [[OurElvesAreDifferent elves]], the NatureHero, a NatureLover, a FriendToAllLivingThings, a NatureLovingRobot, MotherNature, and some versions of the HermitGuru, will often be depicted wearing green, having green physical traits, or having a name [[ColorfulThemeNaming related to the color green]]. Superpowered individuals with [[GreenThumb plant or nature based abilities]] tend to get a similar treatment. Beings that are ''also'' plants like PlantPerson, {{Planimal}}s, InnocentPlantChildren, and those who've undergone {{Transflormation}} are typically colored green, though this will more often vary depending on the type of plants they're meant to represent and their physical/emotional/mental well-being--healthy plant beings will be vibrant green, unwell ones brown or grey, like wilting plants. For such beings to fall under this trope green has to be a major part of their appearance.

* ''Manga/FairyTail'': Warrod Sequen is a powerful wizard whose magic is called "Green Magic" and allows him to control and manipulate plants to such extent he can grow colossal trees in an istant and, as a hobby, strives to turn desertic wastelands into fertile grassland. Because of his magic he's even tree-like himself.
* ''Manga/SailorMoon'': In the original manga, Sailor Jupiter, who is color coded green in every iteration she shows up in, has much more plant and flower iconography. This is noticeable from two of her attacks, Flower Hurricane and Jupiter Oak Evolution, the former which creates a flurry of rose petals around an enemy and the latter that combines her electric and plant powers into a single ability. This would be downplayed in later adaptations to play up the association between Sailor Jupiter and Jupiter, Roman GodOfThunder.

* ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'', Teppei is always dressed in green and his job as a Saiseiya is to preseve nature, revive lost food and animals and protect endangered animals. He even gets GreenThumb powers over brambles and wood.

* ''TabletopGame/ResArcana'': Among the [[ColorCodedElements colour-coded essences]], Life is the green-coded one. It's associated with cards related to animals and nature, such as the Druid, Beastmaster, Tree of Life, Sacred Grove, Mystical Menagerie and many creature cards.

* ''VideoGame/{{Dawncaster}}'': Bolgar Blightbane is the necromancer and enchanter boss of the third dungeon in the game, that fittingly takes place in TheLostWoods filled with WarriorUndead enemies. He's depicted as a BarefootSage with glowing green eyes, emitting a SicklyGreenGlow and levitating mushrooms. He fights primarily by inflicing you with poison.

* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': Characters and factions associated with plant life, nature and forests typically use green as a prominent color motif. The goddess Farore is usually solid green in her depictions, for instance, while the Kokiri forest-children wear leaf-green clothing.
